For some of your fans who didn't pay attention to your Time Warner Cable bill when it came, many channels have changed. USA Network is one of those channels. It has moved from Channel 40 to Channel 16.

Many readers have informed me that www.TNAWrestling.com has been down since last night. Just looked again, it's still down. (I have just been informed that the site crashed last night after the PPV, which was the Best Ever PPV this year, bar none.)
Glen Gilbertti was at the TNA Tapings tonight. I believe the reason he was brought in, he is a good friend of Vince Russo.
Sting vs. Kurt Angle in match at tomorrow's tapings.

A few readers sent me a link for Ugene Dinsmore myspace page.
I'm not sure this is really Ugene's page, but there is a great video of The Rock with Eugene.

Greetings Wrestling Fans! (that's so different then my usual message..)
J2Games.com would like to welcome all you Wrestling fans to visit our website and discuss the lastest Exclusive Interview With THQ/WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2007 Editors!
For those of you not familiar with us, J2Games.com is one of the largest classic to modern video game websites on the net. We stock 1000's of titles across 41 different console platforms. From Atari to Xbox, we have it all!
ProWrestlingGames.com recently had the opportunity to speak with the editors of WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2007 from THQ. The interview has a great selection of information and news from Dan Ryan for those who are chomping at the bit for the new game. The complete interview is below:
PWG: Will the storymodes be different across the systems or follow the same story arcs?
THQ: The story mode will be pretty much the same on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and PSP; however the Nintendo Wii and DS will each offer completely different single player experiences. WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 on the core SKUs marks the debut of WWE 24-7 Mode, where the player's goal is to become a WWE Legend by proving he or she has what it takes inside and outside the ring as not only a Superstar but a General Manager as well. The Wii Main Event Mode, however, is less story-driven and more open-ended, letting the player decide which Superstars they want as their allies, which brands they want to jump to and which championships they want around their Superstar's waist. Finally, the DS version of the game will feature its own unique SmackDown, RAW, and ECW storylines, allowing players to navigate freely behind the scenes of the WWE.
PWG- How exactly will the wii remote be used within gameplay?
THQ: When designing WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 for the Wii, it was of the utmost importance that we took full advantage of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk's unique capabilities. In fact, a majority of the Superstar's offense is done by waving the Wii Remote in the appropriate direction while holding modifier buttons to perform strikes, interactive grapple moves, taunts and finishers. It was also vital for us that the manner in which the player swings the Wii Remote matches the Superstar's movement on screen so players actually feel like they are physically a part of the in-ring action.
PWG- Will there be backwards/forwards compatibility between the three Playstation systems?
THQ: As far as the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and PSP versions of the game go, it unfortunately won't be possible to share content between the three systems. However, this idea is something that we've definitely been considering for future games in the series.
PWG- Will female characters and Legends be available in storymode?
THQ: Players will have to select a WWE Superstar in order to actually compete in WWE 24/7. However, rest assured, there will be plenty of interaction between them and brand new roster of WWE Legends and Divas, this year representing all three WWE brands.
PWG- What online features will be available? In terms of match types or Leader boards etc?
THQ: Unfortunately, I can't get too specific regarding our online features just yet. However, I can tell you that up to four players will be able to settle their differences online in over 50 match types. In addition, players can let their Create-A-Superstars battle it out, put their Create-A-Championship up for grabs or just concentrate on climbing to the top of the online rankings.

Hey everyone, wow.. time flies when you are having a good time!! I am loving here in Melbourne. I did a lot of press over the past 2 days. The best nite still was the 1st nite when we saw Motorhead play live. We went to an awesome metal club here called "Back in the Day". It was a lot of fun to hang out there. People are sooooooooo nice here. I did a radio interview at one of the top rock stations in Melbourne. It was nice to see my old co workers (Rob Van Dam & Sabu). Everyone will be at the expo center today for day of the Armageddon convention. I have been getting 5 star treatment here. There was a cool metal shop called Metal Mayhem. Very cool death metal stuff. I bought a patch there. Anyways, I gotta get to the signing Brutally yours Jasmin St. Clairewww.metalsdarkside.com PS: I will be posting photos from my trip soon
