– In last week's cable ratings, ESPN came in first due to football, followed by USA at #2 and Fox News at #3. SyFy came in #11 with a 0.9 average and Spike came in #23 with a 0.8 average. The two hours of RAW were the #3 and #4 shows of the week, behind the Vikings v. Texans game at a 6.1 rating and NASCAR at a 4.1 rating. In the 18-34 demographic, neither hour made the top 10 due to college football and three episodes of Family Guy. Although the show did show strength among viewers over 35, as it placed in #4 and #5.

– Regarding Hulk Hogan's upcoming tour of Australia: The Hulkster has never actually been to Australia, which may make for big ticket sales. The 2002 show in Melbourne, that Hogan pulled out of two weeks before, drew 56,000 fans. However, that was seven years ago and Hogan arguably had more interest than any other WWE wrestler at the time including The Rock.

– From the 'Where are they now' file: Super Crazy wrestled at the X-Law event in Tuesday night in Tulancingo.

– Rob Van Dam has been booked in the UK for 1PW's Fourth Anniversary Show on November 15th.
