| Not sure how accurate this is as I don't watch TNA, but I read the other day that last weeks 1hr ECW show had 24 mins of in-ring wrestling while 2hrs of TNA had 17 minutes
Also what is going on with Flair? Is he out of retirement and wrestling again?

| I'm being informed by some friends in America (who also happen to be employed by a large sports entertainment company ) that the 2010 HOF is shaping up along with Wrestlemania.
WWE are trying to twist The Rock's arm into one last match at Wrestlemania. He'll be inducted into the HOF quicker if he agrees to a match with John Cena. Cena presented the idea to Vince who agreed in allowing Cena to offer the challenge publicly to The Rock - which is why a lot of news articles are coming out in terms of Cena offering this challenge.
However, part of the suggestion by Cena was that The Rock lost - which would be a bit of a sticky point in getting him to agree. However, it's understood that Cena was overruled on this point.
Now, you'll probably say 'yeh right, talk about crap rumours etc', but the same people were correct when The Rock returned for the Eugene and Coach segment, and the Diva contest which The Rock had a pie segment in.

| Cena is sh*t. Why would the Rock lower himself to that? Stay retired Rock, the WWE has gone downhill rapidly since you left. The only reason this match would be worth it to the Rock, is if he was offered loads of wonga.

| Anyone see last night's Raw? OMG Vince's ego took a bruising so he's out to air it on the show.
Raw was ment to come from Denver (I think). However the Denver NBA team (the nuggets ) are in the NBA play offs so they told WWE they couldn't use the arena as they needed it. So Vince got a strop on and spent the first 15 minutes of the show, coming from LA, slating the nuggets and their owner with the usual guys in stupid wigs pretending to be them. Lucky for me I sky+ it because after the first 2minutes of this (which included a video package explaining why vince has his pants all bunched over this) i just had to spin on thru which is how I know the segment lasted 15 minutes.
And they wonder why people call wrestling lowbrow

| Just stumbled across the Off The Record shoot-style interviews on that popular video sharing site, worth checking out.

No, they don't have to fill time with nonsense like that, it's Vince's ego that means they do. There are loads of undercard wrestlers that they could have put in that 15 minute slot, but trying to score pathetic points over a perceived slight is far more important than actual wrestling in today's WWE.

Tax dodge and an attempt at grabbing ratings and other media attention

They'd done a bit on this on NASN America, PTI & ATH. Basically Vince and the WWE made a firm booking with the arena in Denver many months ago. The arena and the basketball team are both owned by the same bloke and they were fully aware that the date was in the middle of the NBA play-offs and could possibly be needed if the Nuggets were still involved.
It does appear as though the teams owner thought so little of his teams chances that he was willing to take the booking. Once they did qualify TV then told them that game 4 would clash with Raw. Vince originally told them to do one, he'd made the booking in good faith, they could go play elsewhere. In that regard, he's got a point.
Obviously the rant on Monday night was Vince and his ego getting in the way, and as has been said the time could, and should, have been filled with actual wrestling, but the basic premis of the argument was sound.

Does anyone tune into RAW these days expecting to see any actual wrestling past the promos, backstage stuff, in ring rants and three on one beatdowns?
Still, when you got a roster full of folk who can't actually wrestle and TV time to fill you've got to do something I suppose...

They've got people who can wrestle, they just don't have the right "image" so Vince prefers to push his pet projects, which is basically lumbering non-wrestlers who he thinks look the part.
Oh, and you forgot the obligatory T&A segment in your rundown
