RF and Corey Haim

Just want to take a minute to send my condolences out to the family of Corey Haim.  Growing up in the 80's I was a huge Corey mark and loved all of his films.  Lost Boys was one of my favorite movies of all time and everyone who knew me, knew that.  About a year ago I had a chance to meet him in person and sit down with him and Corey Feldman for an exclusive shoot interview.  The footage was not able to get released due to some issues which are not important.  It was a great interview where we talked a lot about drug use and I feel bad that he did not get the help that he needed.  I just found out today that Somas might be in the mix and that is the one drug that a lot of the wrestlers take which has killed dozens of wrestlers.   There is a lesson to be learned here and that is, get help before it's to late if your into that kind of stuff. 

RF VIDEO will have a brand new Face Off DVD in April with Missy Hyatt, Iron Shiek and Chris Kanyon!!!

There is one wrestler out there who has always been outspoken about how to make it in the wrestling business and to go about it in the right manner.  He has done a lot of shoot interviews about these subjects with RF VIDEO but now it's time to actually step food inside the actual ring with him and witness his knowledge as he hands it down to a class of 12 students of the game.  Just when you thought you knew all the answers, Al Snow changes the questions!!  For the first time ever Al Snow invites you the wrestling fan or upcoming wrestling Inside the Ring with Al Snow.

This DVD is a must have for anyone trying to make it in the wrestling business.  Al Snow's world famous seminars have never been caught on tape, that is until now.  RFVIDEO filmed a four hour seminar that breaks down the barrier and allows you to really understand the business from an inside view point.  This DVD is full of lessons that anyone breaking into the sport should know and understand.  Now we are going to allow everyone to watch this totally open and honest shoot style seminar to make it out for the masses to enjoy.  So you think you know how to be a wrestler.  You think you know how to put together a good match.  What works in the ring.  Do you think you know how to get heat?  Think you know how to get yourself over?  Do you think you make a good babyface or a heel? Can you really cut a good promo?  Do you understand how to move around the ring?  Do you really even know what a finish is?

There are all the questions that you will hear Al go over with this class as he has them do actual matches in front of him and then he critiques each guy and tells them what they were doing right or wrong.  Most of today's matches did not go the way that Al had wanted which makes it for a great DVD as he really Al open up and give some of the hardest taught lessons that needed to be taught to get this class to the next level.

We have done other Inside the Ring DVD's, but this one is the most informative of all of them.  You get to listen to Al talk about what the WWE is looking for when they hire a guy and how they can make money with you.  What happens if you cant work or get yourself over, well Al gives about 60 minutes of this DVD series some of his best stories from behind the curtains in WWE and tells you exactly what they are looking for, and how they will make money with you if you have the "it" factor.

The 60 minutes mini interview with the class before the three hour workout session is worth the price of the DVD itself.  Never before in any of Al's shoots do you get to hear what the WWE office is looking for and how the agents handle their business with the wrestlers to better the product.  What really goes on in FCW if you are hired by the WWE and what they want you to get out of going into that system.  

These are just a few of the topics that we talked about today on this 4 hour DVD

**How to get yourself over with the office of the WWE and how to get over with the fans

**How Dave Melzter is one of the best workers out there

**How to be a good worker

**What to do to get a job in the WWE

**What to do in your dark match with Funaki if you get that chance to make it

**Talk about how the WWE is looking for new talent to get over

**Why does the Undertaker really take time off

**Talk about finishes in wrestling

**How wrestlers relate to the fans and how to get over so the fans want to be you

**Why it is stupid for guys to work stiff or the strong style  uses Roddy Strong as an example and why its bad for the business

**How to reteach the audience and make them believe in your finish

**How to make someone look good if they are smaller than you

Then we actually went into the ring and did another 3 hours of workout footage which you will learn

**How to move around the ring slower

**How to make it look like a shoot and not a work

**How to sell a basic move...

**Why a Babyface must deliver in his match what ever he talked about in his promos

**Why the Babyface must always be aggressive and always go for the pin and always move forward

**What is a finish

**How to get heat spots

**How to tell a story by selling

**Less is more

**How the heel dictates the match and how the babyface only cares about winning

There is so much more to this DVD and it's by far the most open video ever filmed by us.  If you think Tough Enough took you inside the ring you have not seen anything until you have seen "Inside the Ring with Al Snow" as this DVD is a blockbuster.

Shoot Interview with Matt Borne: What is it like to wrestle a match against someone you just got arrested for beating up 24 hours ago? What is it like to walk into a locker room as the son of a local wrestling legend? What is it like to be a part of the most historic event in the history of pro wrestling? The newest RF Video Shoot Interview will answer all of these questions and more as we are proud to present the Matt Borne Shoot Interview.

This is without a doubt one of the most fascinating shoot interviews we have ever produced. Matt Bourne has been there and seen it all and doesn't mind talking about it. For every match, every road trip, every angle, and every mistake, Matt Bourne has a story and he shares them all in this intriguing Shoot Interview.

Matt talks candidly about his personal demons in pro wrestling. Matt shares stories about partying with some of the most legendary names in the business. Matt talks in depth about his relationship with Roddy Piper and the partying the two of them used to do together in their primes. On top of that, Matt has tons of stories about drugs and alcohol abuse that he shares throughout the entire interview. Matt drops names and recalls some of the wildest stories ever told in an RF Video Shoot Interview.

Family is a big part of Matt's story. Matt talks openly about how the relationship between his sister and Buddy Rose affected his in-ring matches with Buddy. Hear all about the night Matt had to go over his sister's house and what resulted in the trip. Matt also tells a story about a match he had scheduled with Buddy 24 hours after he was arrested for beating Buddy up. How did Buddy react? How did Don Owens react? What are Matt's thoughts on it today? For those unaware, the feud between Matt and Buddy in Portland is still one of the most talked about angles and feuds to this day.

Matt has tons of stories about his days on the territories. Matt tells a revealing story about doing cocaine with a booker during their first meeting. You will be shocked when you hear who the booker was. Matt also gives his thoughts and memories about working for several infamous bookers including Ole Anderson, Don Owens, and Bill Watts. Who did Matt like working for and who did he not get along with? Matt comments on things said about these men from past guests in RF Video Shoot Interviews.

Matt also talks about some of his famous partners and in-ring opponents. Matt comments on rumors and statements said in past interviews about the Von Erichs and Fritz Von Erich. Matt also talks about his rocky relationship with his former partner the late Buzz Sawyer. In addition to the war stories, Matt has some tremendous road stories that will have you laughing throughout the interview. Which former partner and enforcer did Matt travel with who fell asleep at the wheel and what happened on that trip?

Matt talks in great length about both of his runs in the WWE. Matt talks about his first big run which included wrestling on the original WrestleMania. What was Vince like during that time? How did Roddy and Paul Orndorff really feel about Mr. T? What was the locker room like at this time? How big did he think it would get? What happened and why did Matt disappear so quickly after his first WrestleMania appearance?

Matt also talks about his memorable run as the original Doink the Clown. Did he like the gimmick? What did his friends think when they first heard about it? How did he own it and make it his own? Was Vince supportive of the character? Matt also talks about the locker room with stories on everyone from Bret Hart to Scott Hall. Which wrestler stooged him out to Vince McMahon and got him fired? Nobody is off limits when Matt takes this long walk back down WWE memory lane.

Whether it was wrestling in a flannel as Big Josh, trunks as ´Maniac¡ Matt Bourne, or spraying confetti in makeup as Doink the Clown, Matt has great stories about all phases of his career. Viewers will feel as if they were sitting on a bar stool next to Matt on a Saturday night listening to story after story. There is never a dull moment in this jam packed Shoot Interview. It is with great excitement that RF Video presents the all-new Matt Bourne Shoot Interview.

Just in case you missed what we did on Thursday here is a quick review once again:

RF VIDEO has been running all over the city of Philadelphia over the last 24 hours with former WCW World Champion DDP.  It all started last night when we kicked off our new DVD series On the Road with Diamond Dallas Page at the Market Street Station where we picked him up.  We had our cameras rolling from the time he got off the train until he checked into his 5 star hotel at the Four Seasons.   Wait until you see the trouble we caused by filming at the hotel…there are tons of WCW road stories on this DVD as well.  You will hear about his troubles with Ric Flair after his book came out and how DDP fixed the situation.  What heat did he have with the Undertaker and the WWE office if there was any at all….What happened the first time he talked to Dusty Rhodes…What are his views on the Chris Benoit tragedy?  The entire DVD will run over three hours but the main focus of this DVD was his media appearances today in Philadelphia which we were able to capture as well on this DVD from the radio show with Danny Bonaduce and Ukee Washington on Talk Philadelphia to promote his amazing YRG DVD's. 

RF VIDEO was granted permission to film everything behind the scenes at the Danny Bonaduce show and we were even there in the studio and filmed his appearance on Dannys show.  They talk in great detail about TNA and if DDP would ever go back to the company.  The main focus of the appearance was DDP promoting his YRG DVD's which are a must for anybody looking to get in shape.  I actually did some of this last night with him in the hotel and its amazing.  He also showed me a video which you can check out on his new website that we plugged last night where this one guy who could not even walk can now run and he lost so much weight.  We actually will show the footage on this DVD too.  Danny was so impressed with the YRG workout that he is going to take it on as well as myself.  I am not fat or anything but this program will get you super in shape and give you abs of steal.

Everyone was great at Danny's show and they treated us well.  We than went out for Breakfast since his appearance was like at 7AM and we filmed all of our car rides as well.  From there we went back to his hotel for more talk with DDP about his YRG programs and of course wrestling talk!!  We headed out around 11AM for a private tour of the CBS studio here in Philly.  We were able to film all of this as well and we filmed DDP in the green room waiting to go on with Ukee Washington.  We also filmed everything behind the scenes with Ukee Washington as his staff was also amazing with us.  I met Ukee about 10 years ago when I was on the news for my pro wrestling shopps that I had in this area.  He actually remembered our interview together since Steve Austin was also on the same show via satellite. We had DDP and Ukee do a private interview for this DVD as well.  

The highlight of the show was DDP teaching the staff how to do YRG once again.  You will all be amazed at the results as we are going to really push his YRG products thru this DVD.  It's some amazing workouts that really get you results.

The entire day was just amazing and loads of fun.  We can't thank everyone enough especially the staff over at CBS and Danny Bonaduce show.  I also want to thank DDP who allowed us to take part in this and he really let us into his world over the past 24 hours.  If you ever met DDP you know he always goes that extra mile and he was working non stop all day in his hotel on his website and company as he lives for YRG.  We can't wait to release this new on the road DVD so you can see a whole new person and see how DDP is outside of the squared circle!!!

WWE NXT Report!

The following is from Wrestleview;

WWE NXT

March 9, 2010

Seattle, WA

Report by: Mike Tedesco of WrestleView.com

“Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event…” The WWE video leads us into the show.

A quick recap of last week’s NXT plays. It highlights David Otunga and R-Truth’s scuffle, Wade Barrett’s win over an injured Daniel Bryan, and Justin Gabriel’s amazing 450 Splash.

The NXT video plays and we’re brought into the arena with some pyro. Michael Cole and Josh Mathews welcome us to the third episode of NXT, live from Seattle, Washington.

R-Truth’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring with his rookie David Otunga. We then go backstage where Matt Striker is. Striker reiterates what he said last week. The eight rookies will be vying for a vote from the pros based on their success in the coming weeks. The pros cannot vote for or against their own rookies. The competition continues…

The Miz and his rookie Daniel Bryan are out next. We’re shown highlights from Raw when John Morrison and R-Truth beat the holy hell out of ShoMiz. The Miz says before the match begins he has a pep talk for Daniel Bryan. Bryan is 0-2 on NXT. He hasn’t proven anything to him, the people, or the NXT pros. Last night he was jumped so this match is very important to him. If Bryan lets him down, like being pinned, he’ll make sure he never attains his dream of becoming a WWE Superstar. He’ll also have him thrown off NXT!

R-Truth & David Otunga vs. The Miz & Daniel Bryan

It’s R-Truth starting out against Daniel Bryan. Bryan holds his hand out for R-Truth to shake but he just does a dance instead. They lock up and trade arm wrenches. R-Truth gets a side headlock so Bryan whips him off and takes a shoulder block. They go into the ropes and R-Truth counters a hip toss with a short-arm clothesline for a one count. David Otunga is tagged in and they hit a double shoulder block for a no count. Otunga wrenches the arm and tags R-Truth back in. Truth punches until Bryan comes back with some uppercuts. Bryan misses a strike and gets sent to the ropes for a stiff clothesline. R-Truth clotheslines him over the top rope and sends Miz over when he comes in. R-Truth then hits a nice senton over the top rope on them! Bryan’s career is on the line when we come back.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see R-Truth locked in a dragon sleeper applied by Daniel Bryan. During the break Miz blind tagged and got beat up by R-Truth. Miz later kicked R-Truth’s legs out and turned the match back to their favor. R-Truth fights up but Bryan takes him down with a knee to the midsection. Miz tags in hard and yells at Bryan. Miz locks a front face lock on. R-Truth fights up and rolls up Miz for a two count. Miz quickly takes him down with a clothesline. Miz beats on R-Truth and chokes him on the second rope. Miz then goes into the ropes and misses an avalanche. R-Truth kicks Miz away and tags in Otunga.

Otunga hits a pair of clotheslines and a back elbow. They botch a back body drop. Otunga sends Miz into the corner and runs into the boots. Miz then jumps into a powerslam but the pin is broken up by Bryan. Miz sidesteps Otunga and Bryan tags in. Bryan hits a beautiful missile dropkick. Bryan puts him in the corner and lays some nasty kicks in to the chest. Otunga reverses a whip but Bryan slips by him and eventually locks on a nice heel hook.

Miz tags in off the top of the head. Bryan is mad because he had the win so they go head to head. Miz slaps him and Bryan fights back. The referee separates them. R-Truth heel kicks Miz and Otunga hits his big Spinebuster for the win! Miz took the pin!

Winner by Pinfall: R-Truth & David Otunga

Match Rating: **

The Miz is screaming at Daniel Bryan at ringside. Miz screams he’ll have him out of NXT unless he goes to the back. Bryan fakes a slap and scares him. Bryan points at him before walking to the back.

An interview with Heath Slater airs. He talks about how mad he was about Carlito spitting in his face. They’ll take each other on next.

-Commercial Break-

Did you know WWE NXT was watched by more people than College Basketball on both ESPN and ESPN2?

During the commercial Matt Striker interviewed the Miz. Striker mentions that Miz said if Daniel Bryan lost he’d have let him down. Striker asks now that Miz was the one who lost did he let Daniel Bryan down. The Miz looks at Striker and says he’s the United States and Unified Tag Team Champions. Bryan comes up from behind and says every tag team partner he’s had has carried him. Miz says he’s so talented that they all were champions. Bryan asks if he’s so talented then why did he lose tonight. Bryan pushes Miz and walks off.

We take an in depth look at probably the first South African wrestler in WWE history Daniel Bryan. This guy is one of those guys to watch. Whether he wins or loses I think we’ll be seeing him around.

Matt Hardy and Justin Gabriel are backstage. They’re backstage and Hardy is giving him a pep talk. He’s in the main event again this week. Chris Jericho and Wade Barrett walk in. Jericho says he did good last week but he won’t this week. Wade Barrett is his protégé and he’s the best in the world by what he does. Gabriel says he respects Jericho but he’s not intimidated by Barrett. Barrett says he debuted last week and beat the fan favorite Daniel Bryan. Gabriel isn’t even the fan’s favorite yet so Barrett asks what he expects. Hardy says his guy will beat Jericho’s guy. Jericho wishes him luck and they leave.

Christian and Heath Slater make their way to the ring. Carlito comes out next and says Slater should be honored he spit in his face. Carlito asks if he knows how many Superstars faces he’s spat in. Carlito says he should be begging for him to spit in his face again.

Heath Slater vs. Carlito

Carlito takes a bite of the apple but Slater ducks the spit. Charles Robinson starts the match as Slater punches at Carlito. Slater has a whip reversed on him and Carlito hits a back elbow. This match continues next as Charles Robinson regains order.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see Slater locked in an arm bar. Slater fights up and pushes him to the corner. Carlito kicks him and pushes his face in the corner. Carlito pushes his face again and Slater pushes him. Carlito charges and Slater sends him over the top rope. Slater does a hair flip and talks some trash. Carlito gets back in the ring and kicks him. Carlito bashes his face in the corner and punches away. Carlito sends him to the corner but charges into nothing. Slater punches and has a whip reversed on him. Carlito ducks and eats a kick. Slater then charges into a big boot.

Michael Tarver cheers on from ringside as Carlito gets a near fall. Carlito locks on a grounded chin lock. Slater fights up and Carlito knees him down. Carlito throws him over but Slater lands on the apron. Carlito charges into a shoulder and counters a sunset flip with a kick to the face. Carlito talks a little trash to Christian before locking a submission on Slater. Slater fights up and Carlito knees him before putting him into the corner. Carlito hits some shoulders before backing up. Carlito goes for a bronco buster but Slater moves.

Slater hits a pair of clotheslines and a flapjack for a near fall. Slater backs up and runs into a nice sit-out spinebuster. Carlito stands over him and laughs. Carlito goes for his apple but finds that Christian took it. Christian throws it to Michael Tarver. Carlito goes for the Back Stabber but Slater jackknifes him for a near fall. Carlito goes for a roll up but Slater rolls through and gets the upset over Carlito!

Winner by Pinfall: Heath Slater

Match Rating: * ½

Heath Slater celebrates big time with Christian. That dance simply has to go. Carlito can’t believe what just happened.

We get an in depth look at Darren Young. This guy was trained at IWF, a wrestling school a few towns away from me. I hope CM Punk shaves his head. That hair is absolutely terrible.

CM Punk is talking with the Straight Edge Society. Punk mentions that the first week they didn’t help and he lost. Then last week they helped and he won. Young asks why he can’t live life the way he wants. Punk asks Serena who the pro is and she says he is, of course. Gallows says that Young is the rookie. Punk says he can lead a horse to water but can’t make them drink. Punk says Straight Edge can make anyone a winner. Young can do things his way and see how that turns out. The S.E.S. walks away.

Justin Gabriel takes on Wade Barrett next.

-Commercial Break-

Michael Cole thanks Audioslave for the use of the song “Be Yourself,” one of WrestleMania’s official theme songs.

The Raw Rebound airs and it highlights McMahon’s gauntlet match against John Cena.

Chris Jericho’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring with his rookie Wade Barrett. It’s announced that Chris Jericho will bring back the Highlight Reel this Friday on Smackdown.

-Commercial Break-

Wade Barrett vs. Justin Gabriel

They circle the ring and Barrett quickly kicks him. Barrett sends him to the ropes. Gabriel lands on his feet during a hip toss and hits a nice leg sweep for a one count. Gabriel ducks a clothesline but Barrett catches him eventually before driving him into the corner. Barrett drives some shoulders into his kidneys before being backed up by the referee. Barrett uses the ropes to stretch him out. Barrett chokes him using the ropes and covers for a one count. Barrett locks on an abdominal stretch as Jericho tells the announcers this is all his influence.

Gabriel knees him in the head a few times. Gabriel flips over Barrett and hits a roundhouse kick. Gabriel punches him down for a near fall. The crowd was chanting “USA.” Don’t they know that none of them are American? Gabriel jumps into a fireman’s carry but he reverses into a roll up for a near fall. Barrett kicks and hits a nasty backbreaker for a one count. Barrett hits a trio of body slams before putting him on the top rope. Jericho hilariously yells at the commentators. Gabriel fights him off the top rope and hits an AMAZING 450 Splash for the win!

Winner by Pinfall: Justin Gabriel

Match Rating: * ½

Matt Hardy celebrates with Justin Gabriel until Jericho sends him out of the ring. Jericho then drops Gabriel with a Codebreaker. Jericho calls Barrett in as he slaps Gabriel with his jacket. Jericho locks on an old school Walls of Jericho and he’s tapping. Jericho raises Barrett’s arm as the show ends.

Bump of the Night: R-Truth’s senton over the top rope!

Match of the Night: R-Truth & Otunga vs. Miz & Bryan **

Mike’s Thoughts

Well that was a great episode to do my first NXT recap for. NXT is so much fun. It’s fresh, exciting, and nothing like the other shows. The storyline with Miz and Daniel Bryan is awesome at the moment. They’re a great fit together. Miz is red hot and he’s really helping Bryan get over with the crowd. Daniel Bryan was something to watch before coming to WWE and now that he’s here I think he’ll run away with this thing. I wish they were letting the fans vote, though. That’d give the show an even better angle.

Heath Slater looked good in his match with Carlito tonight but I’m not sure about his character. It’s pretty lame. Not everyone has to agree with me – this is just how I feel. I think his look is ridiculous and the dancing is terrible. He needs to get something going to make me want to care about him because he’s got nothing right now.

Justin Gabriel was again impressive this week. This guy blew me away last week as I was not expecting to see a 450 splash. Now they showed his video this week and they showed quick clips of some other good moves he’s got. It’s down to him and Daniel Bryan in this competition in my opinion. I hope they keep both of them stick around long term.

Final Rating: ***

TNA/AAA Talent Exchange!

Prowrestling.net is reporting that TNA and AAA have started a new talent exchange agreement, a deal which has been in the works for months now. It reportedly took TNA some time to commit due to their negative past with Konnan, who works for the promotion. Part of the agreement will see Hernandez working on a regular basis for AAA on their television shows and bigger events. TNA will still be top priority for Hernandez.

*Hopefully this will bring some prestige to the TNA Global Championship!

Update: Jeff Hardy's TNA Deal

Jeff Hardy signed a contract with TNA over a week ago and terms of the deal reportedly involves 100 dates from Hardy over the next 12 months reports Prowrestling.net. The company is also hopeful that Hardy can work house show dates as well.

Molly Holly on Hall of Fame chances

» Reported by Adam Martin of WrestleView.com

» On Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 12:38 AM EST

The Big Mosh sent this in:

Nora "Molly Holly" Greenwald Discusses Why She Does Not See Herself Being Inducted Into The WWE Hall Of Fame, Responds To JR's Comments About Women's Wrestling/Gregory Helms' WWE Release, If She Will Be Involved In The Forthcoming WWE Divas DVD Release, The Legacy Of Her "Hair vs. Title" Match vs. Victoria At WrestleMania XXV (And If Victoria's Departure From WWE/TNA Success Surprised Her), The Return Of The Monday Night Wars, & The Chances Of Wrestlicious Succeeding 

Courtesy: http://www.MondayNightMayhem.com 

Former WWE Women's Champion, Nora "Molly Holly" Greenwald, was one of the special guests on this week's live edition (03/08/09) of Monday Night Mayhem (presented by ReelWrestling.com), hosted by The Big Mosh, Blade, & "The Chairman Of The Board" Todd Vincent. You can feel The Mayhem live & in streaming audio every Monday night (at 7PM ET/6PM CT), exclusively on The Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network (www.MondayNightMayhem.com, www.AudioWrestling.com, www.Hybrident.tv, www.ITunes.com, www.Facebook.com/MondayNightMayhem, www.Twitter.com/FeelTheMayhem, & www.MySpace.com/MondayNightMayhem). 

The former Holly "cousin," sidekick to The Hurricane (as "Mighty Molly"), & without a doubt one of the most recognized Divas in WWE history joined The Monday Night Mayhem Radio Network for her return to the airwaves of "Your Home Of Wrestling Radio." As we count down the days to WrestleMania XXVI, Nora joined The Big Mosh, Blade, & "The Chairman Of The Board" Todd Vincent for an exclusive interview (to promote her forthcoming appearance at the Promolast Atlanta Reunion Pro Wrestling Fanfest (Friday, June 4th & Saturday, June 5th), which is now available in Windows Streaming Media or via Monday Night Mayhem's official Podcast on ITunes:

Nora "Molly Holly" Greenwald/Monday Night Mayhem Interview (MNM Podcast On ITunes): http://www.mondaynightmayhemarchives.com/mar10/030810.mp3 

Interview highlights courtesy of The Mayhem's official correspondent, Paterson From New Jersey:

The lasting legacy of WrestleMania to her/challenging Victoria for the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania XX in New York City in one of 'Manias most memorable matches/storylines ("Hair vs. Title"): "For me, WrestleMania XX was definitely the highlight of my career. I mean once you have your head shaved at Madison Square Garden, where do you go from there? So for me, that was definitely the peak of my career."

The rumors of the forthcoming WWE Divas DVD release (and her potential involvement in the project): "I don't know. They (the WWE) own the rights to my name & likeness, so whatever they wanted to do with my footage & stuff, they could do. My guess is in Trish's (Stratus) segment, I will be the one getting pantsed a lot, so I'm sure I'll be on there."

Addressing comments in Jim Ross' recent blog about the current state of women's wrestling today. What is lacking in women's wrestling that has prevented it from becoming legitimate, and will we ever see a women's match headline a Pay-Per-View?: "I remember there was some mixed tags as a main event with Lita & Trish, and it was fantastic those girls got to be in the main event in a mixed tag. As far as them headlining a show, personally I have never met a girl as talented, charismatic, & athletic as people like The Rock, Triple H, or 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. I've seen a lot of talented girl wrestlers, but none that had as much talent as the men in my opinion."

How viable can Wrestlicious be in the world of professional wrestling: "The reason I think it (Wrestlicious) might work is there is so much serious drama on TV, and to have something totally ridiculous just might be a change of pace for people to escape their realities. It would great if it succeeded, and it could be one of those things like G.L.O.W., where there was just this sub-culture that was so drawn to it and was this thing that people talked about for years to come."

If the time will come for "Molly Holly" to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame: "I could not shine the shoes of those ladies in the Hall Of Fame now (The Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young, "Sensational" Sherri Martel, along with Wendi Richter). I don't ever see myself being in the Hall Of Fame. Although I had a great career, I'm nowhere as talented & amazing as those ladies. I totally respect them, and I'm sure Trish, Lita, Chyna, & other girls did way more for the business than I did will hopefully be in the Hall Of Fame."

Her thoughts on the return of the "Monday Night Wars" between the WWE & TNA: "I think that's exciting as far as wouldn't it be great if we could regenerate those 'Monday Night Wars?' I was in WCW when those wars first started, and I remember sitting in Eric Bischoff's office watching Y2J (Chris Jericho) debut on RAW, and it was fun. So I think hopefully it'll generate some interest. I think it's gonna be a good thing for everybody, and I'm excited to see what happens."

More is contained in this exclusive interview with the former Molly Holly, including Nora's memories of working with "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair (and being a part of WrestleMania XXIV weekend, which saw Flair being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame & his final singles match against "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels), her thoughts on Gregory "Hurricane Helms" being released by the WWE (and having the chance to team up with him as part of their respective superhero personas), if Victoria's success in Tara in TNA after departing the WWE has surprised her in any way, along with the charity work she has been actively working on since leaving the business full-time.

Former Pro Wrestler Passes Away

Credit: The Wrestling Globe Newsletter

Angus "Sandy" Scott passed away this morning following a lengthy battle 

with pancreatic cancer. He was 75 and his family had just moved him to a 

nursing home earlier this week. 

Scott broke into the business in 1954, when older brother George brought 

him into the Calgary territory to work for Stu Hart. From the 1950s 

until the 1970s, Scott and George competed as The Flying Scotts tag team 

and as singles wrestlers in regional promotions across the country 

including the National Wrestling Alliance, particularly the Midwest and 

Mid-Atlantic territories, as well as successful stints in the American 

Wrestling Association, Maple Leaf Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling. 

In the 1980s, Scott became a key front office executive for Jim Crockett 

Promotions, booking towns and venues, and for the most part keeping a 

lucrative business thriving during it's glory years. As well as 

influence and responsibility behind the scenes, Scott was also a 

prominent on air personality, and was involved in some of the biggest 

Crockett angles of the 1980s. 

He also worked for World Championship Wrestling when Ted Turner’s 

company took over JCP, and was one of the driving forces behind Jim 

Cornette's Smoky Mountain Wrestling during the early 1990s. 

Scott was inducted into the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Hall of Heroes in 

2008. 

He is survived by his brother George, and his wife Sandra, daughter 

Tracy and grandson Coleton.

*We from RF Video wish his family nothing but the best and are sorry for their loss.

Interview With Shawn Stasiak!

credit: Alan J. Wojcik of http://alanwojcik.com and OWW Radio

Alan Wojcik: For anyone who is not aware, you are a second generation wrestler. Please tell us who your father is and his major contributions to wrestling, plus where did the Stasiak name come from?

Shawn Stasiak: My father wrestled for 27 years. Was one of the pioneers of the wrestling industry and was the fifth wrestler in the WWE to become champion. He was a big hit all over the world namely the in the Pacific Northwest where he was a multiple time champion. The name STASIAK actually came from the original Stan Stasiak who was a wrester back in the 1930’s I believe. He actually passed away from blood poisoning he got from a wrestling match. Years later, my dad came along and was just getting started with the business and a promoter saw that my dad resembled the original Stan Stasiak. Look so much like him and so they gave him that name. Later, my father put the moniker “The Man” to the name and the rest is history.

Alan Wojcik: It seems second generation stars like Ted DiBiase & Dwayne Johnson are pre-destined to wrestle. Did you feel that way or did your dad try and stop you from it?

Shawn Stasiak: He had mixed emotions about it. He knew the hardships of the business and what all it entailed. Some of the cut throating and demeanors of a lot of the folks involved but knew it could be a great life that was full of prosperity and fulfillment. He just wanted to make sure that I was protected and had more good things happen to me and my career than bad. I now understand what he must have felt as if I ever have a son and he wants to get into the business, I would have mixed emotions too.

Alan Wojcik: Before we get to your recent medical training, you attend Boise State University and also wrestled there (Stasiak was a 2-time Pac-10 runner-up). Why was communications your course of study and any college wrestling memories; if you have any, you wish to share?

Shawn Stasiak: Sure, I majored in Communications because the type of courses I was mainly interested in were speech, video, audio productions, and journalism. It is more of an art orientated type of field. And because I loved the professional wrestling business so much and had such a passion for acting and entertainment, those types of courses enabled me to connect with those passions the closest. Apart from theater classes I loved writing stories, being in front of and behind the camera, setting up scenes, working with lighting, editing, etc…..and of course working in the college’s radio station and playing around with special effects and music to make my own productions was something I was always drawn to.

As far as my amateur wrestling career at Boise State. I had a successful wrestling career. I was one of the most successful heavyweights in the schools history. Though I didn’t achieve winning the Pac-10 championships or the NCAA’s, I was a force to recon with, placed second two consecutive years, won lots of matches and was ranked high up on a national level. Looking back however, and of course hind sight is 20/20 and talk is cheap……….still there is no doubt in my mind that if I could go back in time with the mind I have today, I would win the Pac-10’s and NCAA’s if not place in the top 3 for sure. I feel very strongly about that. What kept me back from accomplishing that back then was me. I was my worst enemy. Man, I wish I could go back sometimes and get a few matches back that I fell short of. But it is what it is and you live and learn and I have definitely benefited in life from my wrestling experience at Boise State. It is where I learned how to build character and be disciplined. 

Alan Wojcik: What led you to decide to go into the family business and what was the training like under Dory Funk Jr. and Tom Pritchard? Also who is Phobia?

Shawn Stasiak: Of course my father’s influence of the wrestling business. I was brought up around it especially in the territory days such as the Pacific Northwest territory. Portland wrestling was big for many years and a lot of the biggest names in the industry came through there. I had the opportunity and experience to grow up as a kid around that environment. What great memories now looking back. Thank you Portland wrestling for all the wonderful memories. Training under Dory Funk Jr. and Tom Prichard was some of the best training a young aspiring pro wrestler could ever ask for. Dory’s camps were brutal but fun and very valuable. Dr. Tom’s training was very technical and psychology driven. Tom is a great guy. 

“Fobia” is a Halloween alter ego come to life comic book hero……….wow, did I just say all that? Yes, he is my creation, I own it, and love playing the character. People trip out on it when I bring him out. It gets more attention and requests to have a picture with it then Shawn Stasiak. LOL. I love playing the character. Stay tuned as I will be posting something on “Fobia” on my website www.shawnstasiak.com and on You Tube. You should get a kick out of it. Also, the character looks to be involved in some upcoming TV projects soon. Stay tuned.

Alan Wojcik: Most fans will remember you debuted in WWF as the character Meat, the brainchild of the Pretty Mean Sisters (Terri Runnels, Jacqueline and Ryan Shamrock.) First off who came up with the Meat character and how did you get along with the ladies “controlling” Meat?

Shawn Stasiak: Not too sure who came up with the idea but I think it was Ed Ferrara. I just played the part the best I could for what I was given. Not my favorite character but it was a start and ya gotta start somewhere. I had no problem working with all those gorgeous ladies. And I don’t think they minded working with me. 

Alan Wojcik: You were the 1st WWF opponent of current TNA star and 1996 Olympic medalist Kurt Angle. Can you talk about that match and are you surprised Angle is still competing today with all the injuries he has accumulated over his career?

Shawn Stasiak: It was great to work with Kurt. I looked up to him in college. We had some great matches together that were never televised. He is a great athlete and so am I and I would love to face off with him one more time but do something with merit. Work an angle with him……..no pun intended. I travelled with him for almost a year. He was doing a lot of dark matches during my rookie year as “Meat”. I got to know him pretty well and thought that we had created a bond of friendship. Doesn’t surprise me he is still wrestling. He’s a pro wrester………competition is in his blood just as it is in mine. Plus, he’s Kurt Angle, he’s a world class tough son of a bitch athlete, a real stud. So no, I am not surprised. But I do hope he considers it soon as I feel he has nothing more to prove and his health and well being and family and friends are what he should probably now focus on and put more energy towards. Cause at the end of the day……..that stuff is what counts the most. 

Alan Wojcik: In 2000 you left WWF to join WCW. What led to that decision and were you aware of the power struggle taking place in WCW on what seemed to be a daily basis? What level of interaction did Turner/AOL Time Warner management have if any at wrestling events?

Shawn Stasiak: Honestly, I don’t know.

Alan Wojcik: We're going to be talking about some people who have sadly left the world. The first would be the man you attacked in your Nitro debut (April 10, 2000) Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig. At Slamboree 2000 you wrestled him and then were coached by him. Talk about the Curt Hennig experience.

Shawn Stasiak: It was an honor to work with Curt. It is sad that he is no longer with us. He was a great asset and value to the business. I idolized him when I was a teenager. And it was a match I was watching with him wrestling back in high school that I made the mental claim that I wanted to be a professional wrestler. So I looked up to him. It was an honor to have the “Perfect” moniker put to my name but at the same time was concerned and didn’t want it to be disrespectful. I think a lot of fans felt that way but hey………it got a lot of heat with the fans and that is what they were bringing me in as. I just did what I was told at that point. They wanted to do the “Perfect” thing.

Alan Wojcik: From May 31, 2000-July 10, 2000 you and Chuck Palumbo held the WCW World Tag Team championship (1st of three reigns) defeated Brian Adams and Brian Clark (Kronik). Were you cool teaming with Chuck and thoughts on holding the tag titles.

Shawn Stasiak: Yes, I like Chuck he’s a cool cat. He had fun together working with each other, travelling together basically living on the road together. Winning the tag titles was exciting. I had fun teaming with Chuck and working the big Kronik giants.

Alan Wojcik: Throughout the rest of 2000 you and Palumbo faced off with several teams. Did you have a favorite WCW opponent and address the schedule WCW had you working.

Shawn Stasiak: That year was a year full of diversity, I wrestled with Chuck, against him, with the Natural Born Thrillers with Kevin Nash which was fun and then of course began to get a single’s push with Stacey Kiebler as my valet. I was getting tons of TV time, promos, and working a full time schedule. I have no complaints with WCW as I worked more, had more fun, and made more money. The only issue was the quality of the product, too many chiefs and not enough Indians so to speak, there was no direction. But my overall experience was good.

Alan Wojcik: In 2001 you under went change of sorts, becoming billed from Planet Stasiak. Was this the creation of Vince Russo/Ed Ferrera, Bischoff or you and why the change?

Shawn Stasiak: WCW completely and utterly screwed that up. That was my creation and was not at all showcased as what my vision of the character was. The character Planet Stasiak was supposed to be a take off from Jim Carrey’s character he played in Batman as the Riddler. He was supposed to be graceful, funny, articulate and smart, but a force to reckoned with. Not a joke or an enhancement for other wrestlers. Although I have no problem doing business and what’s best for the company so putting guys over is a must but not job out a character and make a joke out of it. That’s what they did. Planet Stasiak was also a message to people that they can connect with lost loved ones such as my father Stan “The Man”. Planet Stasiak was a character that was someone who could connect with his father’s spirit and draw from that positive energy to use in the ring and kick some butt. That was my intention with the significance of the name. A positive message, an inspirational piece that fans could relate to and use in their real lives. But for some reason, WCW had their plans with me and it wasn’t nothing more than to make a joke out of me. I really thought eventually through busting my ass, doing what I was told, staying in shape, perfecting my craft, that I would eventually get a fair shake at it. I thought that would come, it never did and then they fired me. In essence, I really did feel betrayed in so many ways. But I am over it now and all things do happen for a reason. I learned from that experience and now have a much bigger self value. I would never allow that to happen again. Why would I? It’s a waste of time for me and a company. Why not do something with merit that could actually make money. Especially with someone of my background, lineage, experience, and attributes that I do possess. I am a humble man and respectful to others but now I am just calling a spade a spade. Let’s see what the near future holds with my one last run at this business. I feel that is coming real soon. And it will finally be something that draws and puts asses in seats and draws good ratings. I sometimes feel like Vince McMahon didn’t like my dad or something and took it out on me. Seriously, why else would you waste a good talent and someone if given the proper backing and marketing support to draw big money? Makes no sense. Someone obviously in office or with political pull didn’t like me and the rest is history. But I do believe in Karma and what comes around goes around. Those people know who they are and I say no more. 

Alan Wojcik: You were with WCW until it went out of business and WWE made the memorable purchase. How in the dark was the WCW roster kept and how soon after WWE bought it, did you decide to follow your fellow co-workers into the WWE?

Shawn Stasiak: I didn’t worry about it too much as I was at the top of my game in so many ways at that moment in time. I felt confident that my year with WCW was a productive year and that I had proven myself as a good talent in the ring and on the mic and that I had learned from previous mistakes. I had matured and was really starting to develop my craft. And at the time of the purchase, I had been getting tons of TV exposure and was given a bit of a push as a singles wrestler and felt that with what they gave me to work with was working out ok. So I really felt good about being accepted over. Besides, most if not all knew that the “Tape Recorder” incident was completely blown out of proportion and was just an excuse that was used by a few to get me fired a year or so prior to all of this. It just goes to show the paranoia and insecurities that are within that industry. Most if not all knew in their hearts that I meant no harm or wrongful intents but rather a rib that I was playing on a couple of guys that went sour and got blown completely out of proportion. It was a crock of shit of what happened to me. And if that situation hypothetically ever presented itself which it never would but let’s say I was disrespected like I was by a few back then, and those folks know who they are there would be some ass whippin’ goin’ on and I am dead serious when I say that. But lesson’s learned and you move on and for me it was probably the best thing that could have happened as I ended up going to WCW to have more TV time, fun, and made lots more money. So no complaints there. But I do wonder and wouldn’t be surprised if there was someone backstage or who had Vince’s ear when I did come back for my second tenure that prevented me from ever getting a push or at least a fair shake. Something other than knocking myself out on milk trucks and steel armors or playing a whacked out guy who thought he was from another planet. That was not my intent or vision. I wanted and knew that I had all the potential in the world to develop into a top guy in that company if not THE top guy eventually. But that never came and quite the contrary happened. Oh well, maybe the “Tape Recorder” incident was something some insecure and paranoid person that had some political pull up there had something to do with the derailment of my second run. Who knows. But the second release I received allowed me to a new freedom and I went on to become a doctor with my time away from mainstream. 

Alan Wojcik: As noted earlier you already had been part of the WWE. There were online rumors that the WCW talent had issues initially getting along with the WWE talent, specifically with the WWE talent feeling they were superior. Did you witness any of this and was the WCW talent told WWE was planning a separate TV show & traveling company of WCW?

Shawn Stasiak: I didn’t feel that way as it felt like home for me initially. I really thought in the beginning of my second run with WWE that they were going to let bygones be bygones, forget about the stupid “Tape Recorder” incident and see me for my talents and attributes that I could bring to the table. I really felt excited and glad to be back and had this faith that with my improvements and sheer desire to be the best I could be, I was a sure thing to eventually get to the top and be a big team player for the WWE. I got along with everyone, WWE or WCW, we are all the boys trying to make a living but there was a feeling of competition and I just felt I had to be at the top of my game to not just keep a position on the roster but to climb to the top. I really thought that this was it and that my time was finally going to come. But history speaks for the reality of what really happened. But it all happens for a reason.

Alan Wojcik: Like many on the WCW roster you had to deal with WWE also merging in former ECW talent into the invasion storyline. Did you feel lost in the shuffle and who was doing the creative work at this time?

Shawn Stasiak: Like I said, I just went with the flow with an underlying feeling of faith I had at the time that the main decision makers in the office would see true talent out of the bunch and I felt that as long as I did the best I could do and keep improving each and every week, I would single myself out and be seen for what it was. That it would elevate me to that next level. I didn’t get too caught up with who was writing or who was with who as far as ECW guys and WCW guys, etc. I was back home, where it all began for me and a place I felt so loyal to dating back to my teenage days I was back in the WWE where I belong and I am going to make sure that everything works out here. I had made a mistake, a harmless one, it backfired, I got fired, went away to another company for a year, proved myself on many different levels, my contract got purchased over back to WWE and thought things would only grow and climb up from there. That never happened.

Alan Wojcik: Around the time of Survivor Series you underwent surgery for a knee injury. Was it a “wear & tear injury” or did it occur during a match? For fans interest does WWE have medical insurance for the talent or did you have to pay for surgery on your own?

Shawn Stasiak: I jumped off the top rope to splash Billy Gunn, but he moved and I came down hard on my knee cap which ruptured my bursa sac on right knee. It was very painful, tender, and would swell up as big as a softball many times before I had to get it drained. This went on for a few months when I just finally had to have the bursa sac removed. So, it wasn’t a major surgery or anything but still painful. Now I have no issues with it. The wrestling talent is responsible for their medical insurance or at least it was that way when I worked for WWE/WCW. But if you had an injury or a ring or work related injury while you were at a wrestling venue, they covered the expense. 

Alan Wojcik: By early 2002 you were back wrestling on Raw and Heat in addition to working with Les Thatcher’s Heartland Wrestling. Did you go to HWA to rehab from the injury or did the office send you down for another character change?

Shawn Stasiak: Both reasons. 

Alan Wojcik: In late April/May you faced current UFC star Brock Lesnar during his rookie time in WWE. What are your memories of working with the “Next Big Thing” and the obvious follow-up, could you ever see yourself competing in the mixed martial arts?

Shawn Stasiak: Probably the strongest human being I ever competed with. Brock had an underlying respect for me as he knew I came from his same background, amateur wrestling. Wrestlers always stick together for the most part. If I was 10 years younger or even if let’s say Dana White or some promoter who could set up a good fight for me that I had at least 4-6 months so train for and worked out a good pay day for me, I would totally consider doing it. Though I am 39 years old, I am a young and healthy and hungry 39 year old that feels like a caged bird salivating to get out and kick the crap out of someone. Not in a malicious way but in a good sportsmanship kind of way. But I am still an athlete, I love to compete, and am full of piss and vinegar. I would consider it even NOW. But the money has to be right cause I don’t care how tough you are, you are still kicking the crap out of your body, still getting punched in the face, and who knows what other damage you are doing to your body. But I do have an extensive amateur background and have been training submission wrestling and boxing off and on for the workouts. Stuff kicks your ass but I love it. I am a big Randy Couture fan. He is truly an inspiration and a class act. 

Alan Wojcik: In July of 2002 Eric Bischoff proved hell could freeze over when he joined WWE as an onstage performer. What was your reaction to seeing Eric and thoughts on 3 Minute Warning who squashed you and D-Lo Brown on an episode of Raw?

Shawn Stasiak: I thought it was completely dumb. What was the logic to that? My case in point with what I was saying earlier in the interview regarding WWE’s way to market me.

Alan Wojcik: September 2002 saw your tenure with WWE ended. Did you ask for your release, was the creative department or someone else the reason?

Shawn Stasiak: No, Johnny Laurinitas called me and said that they were releasing me. I was back home visiting friends in Toronto from a loop I had just finished and got the call. I thought it was a joke at first as I had heard rumors that I was being moved to Smackdown, but no it wasn’t a joke, they released me. Again, mixed emotion a feeling of betrayal but yet so relieved as I was so frustrated with them for months. And this freed me up to finally go and pursue my other aspiring career as a doctor of chiropractor. 30 minutes after I received the call to hear I was being released is when I made the decision to go back to school and become a chiropractor and that is exactly what I did. 

Alan Wojcik: Your official website (www.shawnstasiak.com) has a hyperlink to another site (www.drshawnstipich.com) which takes people to your current day job, chiropractor and personal trainer. What made you decide to go back to school for medical training and at any point during the course work were you ever contacted by TNA Wrestling during their initial opening?

Shawn Stasiak: I don’t want to say too much about TNA but I will say that yes, there is definitely a possibility and an interest to join TNA. I like the newness with Hogan there, now my good buddy RVD, among others. I like their schedule much better than WWE and can see myself having a fresh slate with a new company. I am doing independent shows lately; feel real good in the ring. I am much leaner, a bit lighter on my feet, don’t get blown up and am now seeing and doing things in the ring that I had never done before. I am really connecting with my fans. I have a whole new fire, passion, and emotion that I draw from my real life. The struggles, adversities, challenges, etc. I take all of that emotion and channel it into an energy that fans can feel and believe in. That’s because it is REAL emotion. Makes my work in the ring and on the mic much easier now. And makes for a great show and experience with the fans. I chose to be a chiropractor and do some personal training on the side as the fitness lifestyle has been a culprit of who I am and what I have built my foundation on. I feel like Clark Kent, the sophisticated doctor by day, but the Superman, Super hero that performs in a ring every once in a while. The wrestling business is in my blood and always will be. I am in the best place I ever have been on a mental and spiritual realm and happen to be in the absolute best shape of my life. NOW is a perfect time to unleash the energy that has been built up for 7 years. This will make for great TV.

Alan Wojcik: In addition to being Doctor of Chiropractic as well as certified personal trainer, you also have training in Manipulation Under Anesthesia. What exactly is MUA?

Shawn Stasiak: It is a specialty that I am certified in that deals with chronic pain patients. It has really helped a lot of folks who felt they had no hope to live a life free of pain. MUA’s gives the certain candidate that hope. It works. 

Alan Wojcik: In 2007 you starred in “Shawn Stasiak Determined.” What was the genesis of that project and what made you decide to add motivational speaker to your resume?

Shawn Stasiak: Just had the opportunity to share my life on all facets. I wanted to give the wrestling fans a REAL and AUTHENTIC and GENUINE peek into my life. Not what they saw on WWE programming in the way they exploited me. And just getting older and gaining wisdom has made me open up to people and has given me this intuition that God placed me on this planet to make a TRUE difference in as many people’s lives as I can. A positive difference for people to stand in their greatness and live a life that is full of passion, inspiration, peace, love, fulfillment, joy, real purpose, and to live a life that is full of good health, enchantment, and vibrance. I feel a need to connect with people now in that fashion. 

Alan Wojcik: In 2007 you worked in the local Dallas area for PCW. What is Shawn Stasiak’s future? Can you see yourself working full time for either WWE or TNA and do you watch wrestling at all?

Shawn Stasiak: Yes, I am now ready for one last kick at this. But this time make it truly count. I didn’t even scratch the surface in my past tenures. Though I am a bit older, I am wiser, don’t take things for granted, am very grateful and thankful for all the things that I do have but am ready to make a TV return to showcase the talents I have always had. Now is the time and I am more ready than ever. I am willing to put my chiropractic career on hold for a few years if that is what it is going to take and as long as the wrestling business finally treats me right with the right business opportunity. But I am returning to what I love to do and what I have a passion for. So, to all of my fans, I love you, thank you for all of your support over the years and get ready for something real special. Blessings!!!

Colt Cabana On Being In WWE

Cabana said the following during an interview with The Sun;

"They were going to call me Scott Colton, which is my real name, but Vince McMahon knew my heritage was of the Jewish sort, so they just changed it from 'Colton' to 'Goldman'. That was the creative process that went into my name. It was almost like there were two different types of people in WWE. There was the people who knew who I was, and the people who had no clue who I was. The people who knew who I was were the ones that liked me doing commentary, were the ones who fought to get me my own Internet show. I was never able to develop as a wrestler or a person. It was upsetting and ignorant."

WWE/TNA Rating In UK!

Impact from February 25 (airing on Bravo on February 27) drew 91,000 viewers in the first airing of the week (+26,000 viewers) - the Bravo+1 airing didn't draw a rating in the top 10...

For some reason we don't have Raw ratings (from February 22) - I'm not sure whether Raw aired on a different channel (it was meant to air on Sky Sports 3, but they have no mention of Raw this week) or what happened, but that would potentially mean that Raw drew 25,000 viewers or less for this week in its various airings.

SmackDown from February 26 - drew 165,000 viewers in its first airing (another reason to believe the lack of Raw is a snafu, and not some huge anti-Raw movement)

The debut episode of NXT drew 38,000 viewers in its first airing.
