Quick hits on WWE Superstars

• The Mark Henry-Cody Rhodes match on Thursday night’s episode of WWE Superstars was better than I expected. I was surprised – but not disappointed – that there was no outside interference from MVP or Ted DiBiase Jr. It was an impressive win for Henry. He really seemed to be over with the crowd, but, unfortunately, I think the crowd noise was enhanced in post-production.

Looking at an Australian paper’s coverage of Hogan-Flair brawl

A reader from Australia sent me a link to a story that appeared in the The Daily Telegraph, an Australian newspaper, about the recent brawl between Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan that took place at a press conference to promote The Hulkamania Tour.

The paper covered the incident with Hogan being bloodied up by Flair as if it was a legitimate scuffle. As a journalist, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Angelina Love video interview

Here is an interview I conducted with former TNA Knockout Angelina Love last weekend at Steel Cage Memorabilia in Dundalk. Before anyone asks why certain questions weren't asked, she told me before the camera started rolling that she did not want to discuss anything regarding her release from TNA. And yes, that is SoCal Val talking in the background.

Quick hits on ECW

• It was nice to see CM Punk back in the Land of Extreme on Tuesday night’s episode of ECW. Punk was all over the show and came off like a guy who was visiting his high school after having become a big success.

A strange episode of Raw

Before I get into discussing the specifics of Monday night’s episode of Raw, I want to make a comment about ratings. If the numbers for this show end up being below average, WWE definitely will not be able to blame it on strong competition from “Monday Night Football.”

Take it from someone who actually sat through the Ravens’ 16-0 win over the Browns, it was about as exciting as a 60-minute Iron Man Match between The Great Khali and Vladimir Kozlov. The Ravens looked about as inspired as Kevin Nash at a house show, and the Browns’ offense was more pathetic-looking than a Lacey Von Erich chokeslam.
