More RAW Notes, Natalya/WWE, Awesome Kong News, More
David Degraw sent in the following report on last night's Raw: Dark Match before show started was Dolph Diggler beating Charlie Hass who was dressed as Rowdy Roddy Piper. Dark Match after show went off the air was Batista and Rey Mysterio beating Chris Jericho and Kane. It was announced to the live crowd that No Way Out will be in Seattle this year and the promo video heavily hyped the Elimination Chamber. Before the show went on the air they told everyone to hold up their signs for the camera then they proceed to remove all the signs they didn't like. The only threee I could see what it said that got removed were a sign that said "I miss Benoit...RIP" and the same guy had one that said "I am CM Punk's Drug Dealer" and then another guy had one that said "4skin" and it got removed. Most signs were removed by a WWE guy who was positioned near the announce tables and then during commercials he would go out and grab the signs.

As reported earlier, TNA's Bound for Glory pay-per-view will cost $34.95 rather than the usual $29.95. According to TNA spokesman Steven Godfrey, the price increase is for Bound for Glory only and the $29.95 pay-per-view price will resume for future TNA pay-per-view events. Bound For Glory is treated as TNA's biggest pay-per-view event of the year, hence the $5.00 price increase.
