WRESTLING CHATTERBOX UPDATE FOR OCTOBER 10th, 2007
- 10/10/2007 (5:11:17 pm)
- Georgiann Makropoulos
Lots of news, so please check it out..
First off, the Raw ratings were shocking. The show drew a 2.8 rating for both hours. Must be very disappointing for the company. Maybe if we get some good wrestling the ratings will change.
Secondly, a few of our readers, had a good laugh about me marking out for Shawn. Two even said Shawn looked like Skinner (Steve Keirn). LOL... I'm sure he will clean up nicely. I didn't like the facial hair either...
Another reader sent me a note telling me about a statement made on Shane Douglas website.
| October 9, 2007- Update on Shane Douglas | ||
| Shane has given in to his addictions, more info to come tomorrow. |
I'm hoping that Shane might be taking advantage of the offer from the WWE for help with addictions, if the above is true. Hopefully we will have an update later....

TMZ on Fox at Noon ran a 60 second blurb of Ric Flair's lawsuit vs. the car dealer
whom used a look alike (saying "Wheeo" in the ad) and mentioned Flair is the
"king of the figure four" and that the suit is for 75 grand. (TMZ showed a clip of
Flair vs. Sting in WCW and a graphic of Flair in his orange robe).

| Body: | Apparently some wrestling organization in Indiana advertised that I would be appearing for them this past weekend, Sat. Oct. 6 & I want to let everyone know that they FALSELY advertised me because I never agreed to be on any show/event in Indiana. I have been receiving several emails asking why I "no showed" this show/event so I wanted to make all my friends & fans alike aware that I never agreed nor knew about this |

Response to Chyna and Sandman Appearances
Hi Georgie,
First I'd like to say thank you for all your continued support by posting our autograph signings on your website. I'm writing in response to an earlier fans posting regarding my appearance with Chyna and Sandman Sunday nite in Edison, NJ. When I spoke to Chyna's rep on Sunday afternoon, he had informed me that she was extremely tired from 3 full days of signing at Chiller and would like to take a nap prior to going to my appearance. Chyna said that she prides herself on looking and acting her very best at these appearances (to which she looked amazing) that being the reason she was 30 minutes late. As far as Sandman's appearance, Sandman called me directly at 2 PM that afternoon to tell me he was stuck at a small airport in Mississippi. He originally was to fly to Philadelphia (through Georgia) and drive to my appearance Sunday nite. As it turned out he would of not gotten into Philly until about 10 PM and then to the signing til about 11 PM. I rerouted his flight directly to Newark which landed at 7:55 PM and at which he arrived to the signing at 8:30 PM. Sandman really went the extra mile to not cancel the appearance which he did not. Anyone who stayed and waited for him were able to watch the pay per view on the big screen tv (at no charge), along with the Yankee game and Sunday nite football. I have always prided myself on bringing the very best talent to signings and appearances but unfortunately they do not always go as originally planned. I would like to thank all the fans and customers who come out and support our signings, without you they could not be made possible.
Regards,
Bill Paley - Wrestling Ink

Since it's almost 4 AM, I will end for now, but have a ton of Indy listings for later today. I also have a lot more Bret Hart book signings in Canada. I don't believe there will be any US signings until some time in 2008. So I suggest that if you want Bret's book now, you pick one up at Ringside Fest on November 11th at Caroline's.
