Vice President Cheney misses WWE   http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/vpwwe

Vice President Dick Cheney recently visited the troops stationed at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan. While there, Mr. Cheney let it be known that he would have liked to have been there when WWE was there for the Tribute to the Troops show. Here is a sampling of Mr. Cheney's speech:

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Don't hold back. (Laughter.) Well, that's quite a welcome. And Lynne and I are delighted to be here today. And I want to thank you for that fantastic welcome. And, General Eikenberry, for your kind words, and say good afternoon to my fellow Americans. Let me also thank General Sterling and Command Sergeant Major Savusa. It's great to be here today. I have a message from the folks back home: We're proud of you; we're grateful for your service; and we're behind you 100 percent.

It's good to be back at Bagram Air Field, and to express our country's appreciation to every man and woman in Joint Task Force 76. I'm only sorry I didn't come earlier this month. Somebody told me I missed a chance to meet Vince McMahon, Big Show, and Triple H. (Applause.)

Thanks to Mike Lano:

USA Network has a release http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/pr.cgi?id=20051221usa01 , where they contribute their success for the 3rd week of December due to WWE doing strong ratings with 5.1 million total viewers per hour for Raw last week. Most notably, they take a stab at SpikeTV, saying WWE has surpassed its ratings compared to when they were on SpikeTV the same time last year.
 
Thanks to Adam Lebow:
THQ announced today that while Forth-Quarters sales are trailing behind previous years, they are still on track to meet holiday quarter expectations for this year due to the very strong sale of 'WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2006' on both Playstation 2 and the PSP Platforms. The end result on the market today was that THZ doubled their average volume and closed up 5 percent at $23.65.  http://www.gamespot.com/news/6141632.html
