Mentality Behind RAW Tonight, More On The Warrior, Orton

The mentality behind tonight's episode of Raw is that it is being written as a "go-home show" for all three brands for Sunday's "The Bash" pay-per-view. The feeling is that Smackdown and ECW aren't delivering enough of an audience for their respective shows to be "go-home shows." Expect to see the top angles from both brands to be featured on tonight's show.

Randy Orton is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated. You can see the cover at www.PWI-Online.com.

As noted earliere here on the website, The Ultimate Warrior has updated his blog with a post titled, "18,543 days," where he talks about turning 50 years old last week. Here is a quote from the blog: I didn't know living to be 50 was such a big deal ? or something to be despised or ridiculed. Of course, not many former WWF, or even today's WWE, wrestlers hang around alive long enough to celebrate their 50th birthday. I always thought, though, that the mindless misfits and useful idiots charged with commentating on the industry could at least have started and continued that whole posthumous birthday homage media and entertainment pay to all their dead criminal heroes and OD'ed drug addicts.
