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.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
