WWE is holding a rare Wednesday night TV Taping in Rochester, NY, taping next week's Smackdown episode.
As I discussed on the Raw Post Game show in the Elite section, WWE
spaced out Ric Flair's return on Raw over several segments in an attempt
to pop a nice rating for those segments. They purposely leaked Flair's
voice in the segment before he gave away the Superstar of the Year
Slammy hoping to get the word out via social media and word of mouth.
Flair has not signed a contract but is open and willing to do anything
WWE wants to do.
As for those of you who are undoubtedly going to ask about the
status of the TNA lawsuit against WWE, there's been no movement on it
within the courts since August 20th. Although there seems to be this
assumption that the lawsuit would prevent WWE from hiring talents that
worked for TNA, there is no standing order that would hold up any
potential hirings. The only restraining order currently is against
former TNA and WWE office worker Brian Wittenstein.
Boogeyman was booked as a one shot deal to surprise people and
play into the "Tell Me I Didn't Just See That" award. The story making
the rounds is that someone made a reference to him while in conversation
to Vince McMahon a few weeks ago and the light bulb went off that they
should use him.
Tommy Dreamer was a late addition to Raw as the early scripts for
the show did not feature him at all. The company contacted Dreamer
late in the afternoon about appearing and he drove up from New York
City. There's interest in using him again, but there always was as they
didn't want him to leave when he quit a few years ago. He's been
visiting at WWE headquarters regularly since he left the company as
every few weeks, we'd hear he was there. Dreamer needed stiches and had
to go to an ER the next day due to swelling on his head from the
beating he took from the Shield on Raw.
