Former WWE & ECW champion Rob Van Dam has a new blog up on his MySpace, talking about the Monday Night War from this week between WWE and TNA. Here's what he wrote:

Monday night wrestling, let?s talk about it. Many people have called,texted or emailed me to get my opinion of the live wrestling shows that competed for our viewership earlier this week. I can critique just like you, but let?s talk about what we liked. I switched back and forth between both shows, just like you did. It was cool seeing the crowd reaction for Brett the Hitman Hart. I know he has wanted to step back in the ring for a long time and I have no doubt that the ?welcome back? felt like a warm blanket in Canada. On the other show, the NWO appearing was a nice surprise, as was Jeff hardy in a big way. I was a little concerned since all the pre-Monday advertisements just said ?We got Hogan?. They had a lot of ex-WWE?ers-whether money drawers or not-so the element of change and hope was in the air. I thought that was nice. They also had some good matches. fans like that. I?m still confused on the schedule for TNA?s Monday night shows.

I thought this was going to be an every-Monday night thing but I?ve heard I?m wrong on that. Anyone else confused with me? Anyone know what they?re doing?

Do we tune in again next week or next quarter or WTF?

I?m sure that wrestling had it?s highest ratings in awhile so that?s good and TNA must?ve had their largest viewing audience. Many people have told me that they were glad I wasn?t on Monday night. I don?t think that I feel more inspired to return than I did before Monday, for that matter. I do hope that public interest in wrestling does grow as it would be good for everybody...except that guy that tried to blow up that airplane in Detroit. He?s ****ed!

I probably feel the same way that you do about Monday night. It intrigued me to watch, which I normally don?t, and I believe I?ll watch again next week...if it?s on.

- The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that WWE is considering to axe the RAW Guest Host concept soon and use a big start to be a full time General Manager of the brand.

YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man could you imagine if Bret Hart was GM of RAW for awhile? That would be awesomeeeeeeee.

Several sites are reportng that Rob Van Dam could possibly make an appearance at this year's Royal Rumble.

According to a source I spoke with recently, that idea is definitely a possibility, however nothing has been confirmed yet. As far as RVD making a debut wtih TNA, that seems unlikely at this time, as the source I spoke with told me that he is content just sitting back and watching how the entire situation with WWE vs TNA plays out.

Additionally, I was told that it would take a big money offer from TNA to get Rob to work for the company, as he still considers TNA to be minor league compared to WWE.

Based on what I was told, it would seem more likely to me that RVD would make a one-time appearance at The Royal Rumble, as he did last year, as opposed to returning to WWE full-time, however that is just speculation.

I just wish he'd come back full time already. I mean, it's not like he won't be over when he comes back, he's still hugely popular (last years RR should indicate that much) and he could really shake things up in the main event scene (or the upper mid card at the very least).

Whoever gets Heyman can only expect good things! Very good booker IMO. The new ECW had so much promise of old reliving old glory and then Vince McMahon screwed it all up!

yeah I was oh dearing at the fact he could go to TNA, he needs to get back to the big time!

RVD at the Rumble KO'ing everyone in the ring! Bring it on!

yeah I was oh dearing at the fact he could go to TNA, he needs to get back to the big time!

Unfortunately, I think the propect of more creative control in TNA would be more endearing to him than having Stephanie McMahon ditch all his creative again. And if Tommy Dreamer signs for TNA...

Thanks to Raul & F4WOnline.com:

Not sure if anyone noted this but on Monday's Raw, when the Miz spoke French to Maryse he said: "Je suis gai, tu me veux" which legit translates to "I am gay, you want me". I was wondering if that was some kind of practical joke or something

Tony Halme, who had a spell with the WWF in the mid-90s, passed away Saturday night at his home in Finland.

The 46-year-old, who wrestled as Ludwig Borga in the WWF, had enjoyed more success with New Japan Pro Wrestling.

After leaving the WWF, he turned to MMA and was Randy Couture?s first-ever opponent when they met in 1997. Couture won the match, which took place at UFC 13, via choke inside a minute to go 1-0.

No details regarding Halme?s death are known at time of writing.

Brent Turner sent along the following: I was watching Smackdown tonight, and they advertised the upcoming February 1 Raw from Nashville. During the commercial, it was said that the champ John Cena will be wrestling. I thought this was interesting to announce him as the champ.

Joshua Rivette sent along the following: It seems WWE.com forgot to erase Chris Benoit completely as he is still listed in the Longest Time in Rumble Box in the Royal Rumble Facts. You can see it here: http://www.wwe.com/shows/royalrumble/facts/

Tom Baker sent along the following: Just in case your counting, during this Friday night's edition of Smackdown in the UK there was an advertisement for TNA coming to the UK. Seems TNA is doing well getting these adverts during WWE showings.

I really do not want Rey to ever remove his mask in WWE :no: I don't care about Punk's hair though :p

he did it in WCW and was quite cool :p

ProWrestling.net is reporting that Booker T was very close to re-signing with WWE, and most likely would have returned to the company at The Royal Rumble, however, negotiations fell through between both sides and an agreement was never reached.

According to the report, Booker T was demanding a much lighter schedule, which included working less house show events. He was apparently asking for a "Shawn Michaels" type deal, and WWE would not agree to the terms. Booker is currently accepting indy bookings through Bill Behrens at [email protected].

Forgive me because I have been out of the loop for quite awhile. Does Stone Cold still come around?

nope he quit the scene and became an actor, but he appears now and again to advertise his films.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
