WWE To Sign Japanese Wrestlers?, The Scary SD! Rating, More

Let me just say that the last post I did involving Matt Striker was one of the most disturbing posts I have done in years. Anything can and always does happen in wrestling. Wow, just wow.

As noted earlier, last week's episode of Friday Night SmackDown drew an anemic 1.6 broadcast rating, tying a series worst on myNetworkTV. The show even featured their top program in a one-on-one match as Jeff Hardy took on Edge in a Winner chooses the Stipulation for Extreme Rules Championship Match.

WWE will be holding tryout camp looking for Japanese wrestlers this July. WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis will actually not be attending the evaluation, but will be running the project by phone through staff members of WWE Japan.
