False WWE Advertising, Booker T, Joe, Angle, Styles, Moose, More

Chris Regan sent this in: Once again this week, the CW 22 (Smackdown) promos from Spokane feature, wait for it... Booker T and Sharmell, yes still. King Booker and Sharmell in green. Not able to pull the MYnetwork signal from air over here in Coeur d Alene, ID, but I can only imagine that they must have started promos there, as they have certainly finished with new promos on CW here.

The Baltimore Sun has an interview up with Brock Lesnar. When asked how he feels about some MMA fans being upset that he is getting a push due to his popularity in pro-wrestling, Lesnar said the following. "Tough [expletive deleted], buddy. Get in line. That's just the way it is. This is a business and it's a sport, it's entertainment and it's all three of those words wrapped into one. [UFC president] Dana White and [co-owners] the Fertitta brothers didn't buy this company to say, 'Hey let's see if we can run this thing into the ground and not make a dime.' They bought it to make millions and make it what it is, and that's what they are doing. I'm just trying to have fun and get a little piece of the pie. I really enjoy it. I'm proud and honored to be a part of it. And it's not like I didn't pay any dues either. I wrestled amateur when I was 5 years old and put more miles in airplanes and working out. I'm 31 this year and I've paid dues. If [other fighters] want to be mad I think they should focus on how they can become a big contributor. They are mad because they aren't making any money." The full interview is available weblogs.baltimoresun.com.
