SD! Rating, Hogan Slams Vince, New OVW Trainer

Dave Meltzer is reporting that Byron "Dewey" Robertson, known to wrestling fans as The Missing Link, is gravely ill with cancer at a hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada at the moment. On behalf of our entire site staff, we send out our best wishes and support during his troubling time.

Last night's 8/10 edition of WWE Friday Night Smackdown did a 2.4 fast national rating. This is down from last week's early 2.6 rating. We hope to have the final rating by next week.

Ohio Valley Wrestling has now named Joey Matthews the Head Trainer of the OVW/DCW Beginner's Class Program. OVW would like to thank John Toland for his time as the trainer for the Beginner's Class Program.

Micheal O'Hare sent this in: I was flicking through some sites and came across an article from The Sun newspaper over here where Hogan has some harsh words on Vince and WWE. He calls Vince "desperate and defeatable" along with talking about starting his own company, Vince, Shane, Austin and Cena. Just thought I'd pass it along.
