Just thought I'd pop in to say that this weeks RAW was the best one in AGES, I mean literally in years. There was no Hornswoggle, no Santino and no damn Bella twins. They put on some decent matches and the Hart vs McMahon angle finally became interesting. I'm hoping this wasn't just a one off, with Wrestlemania around the corner, because I actually really enjoyed RAW this week.
Your not alone there. xD Here are the ratings for Raw and TNA this week:
Raw 3.7
TNA 0.8
Raw went up from last week, good, good. They so deserved it. Sorta surprised that TNA went down. I didn't see it though, so I wouldn't know. xD
BREAKING NEWS:
WWE Bans Chairshots To The Head
By Michael Bluth
WWE has updated its talent Wellness policy with a section about concussions (click here to read the amendment). Part of WWE's effort to limit the number of concussions sustained by its Superstars is a ban on chairshots to the head, which actually went into effect back in January. The section on chairshots reads:
*The WWE has eliminated using folding metal chairs to "strike" an opponent in the head.
*The WWE penalizes through fine and/or suspension the following:
-The intentional use of a folding metal chair to "strike" an opponent in the head.
-Any blow to the head that is deemed an INTENTIONAL act.
*The fine and/or suspension will be directed by the EVP of Talent Relations.
WWE spokesperson Robert Zimmerman recently commented to Connecticut's Hartford Courant newspaper about the chairshot ban:
"In January 2010, WWE amended its Talent Wellness Program, specifically regarding the ImPACT™ Concussion Management Program originally instituted in 2008, eliminating the use of folding chairs or props to "strike" an opponent in the head."
