Miz/Morrison/Cryme Tyme Feud, Scotty Goldman/WWE, SSlam Buyrate

? WWE is continuing the online feud between Cryme Tyme and The Miz & John Morrison with a new video featuring Cryme Tyme dressing up as Miz & Morrison and mocking them.

? Scotty Goldman has posted a blog on the WWE Universe site talking about what dream match he'd like to see. He says his dream match is true dream match in that it can only happen in a dream. Goldman wrote: "Listen... we can all come on the internet (its on computers now!) and say we wanna see matches like: Hogan vs. Stone Cold, Ryder/Hawkins vs. Rock N' Roll Express, Ricky Ortiz vs. Kamala. But the thing is, these matches could actually happen. More than likely they wont, but it's never say never. Ya know what I mean? (I know quite a few indy promoters who'd love to put on that last one, believe me). For me, a dream match is what it says it is. It can only be done in a dream..." He then lists his dream match as Kimbo Slice vs. Big Bird.

? WWE SummerSlam, which is traditionally the company's No. 3 event of the year, made it the second straight PPV to see double digit declines from the previous year. This year's SummerSlam on August 17 in Indianapolis, IN drew 294,000 buys domestically and 467,000 buys worldwide based on first company estimates. The show this year was headlined by The Undertaker vs. Edge in a Hell in a Cell, John Cena vs. Batista, Triple H vs. The Great Khali for the WWE Title and CM Punk vs. JBL for the World Heavyweight Title. This is a decline from last year's SummerSlam in 2007 that drew 546,000 buys worldwide. Late buys for this year's show could bump it to the 500,000 range. Based on these company estimates, this would be the lowest buyrate for a SummerSlam since 2004 when that show did 415,000 buys headlined by Randy Orton beating Chris Benoit become the World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in his career.
