WWE SIGNING GETS BIG PRESS COVERAGE, RAW RATING COULD TAKE HIT THIS WEEK, JAKE ROBERTS OFF THE WAGON, TREVOR MURDOCH TALKS AND MORE

This may be the one week where WWE can credibly blame Monday Night Football for chopping into Raw's rating.  Last night's Dallas Cowboys-Philadelphia Eagles game was a classic, with tons of lead changes from the get-go.  The way the game was going, I could see a lot of people staying with it at 9 p.m. and not switching over to Raw.

The Associated Press has an article covering WWE's signing of Naofumi Yamamoto.  That is some pretty major coverage.  You can read it by clicking here.

In an update from a story from last night, Devin Cutting sent word that the Raw replay in Canada aired in its entirety. 

Jim Ross has posted the latest Q and A entry on his website.  You can read it by clicking here.

TMZ.com has picked up an audio interview with Jake Roberts where he said he fell off of the wagon and drank last Friday before his infamous appearance at an Ohio indy show.  He said that while he did quaff adult beverages on his own, he still thinks someone slipped something into his drink later, which led to his bizarre behavior at the show.  Yeah, that sounds really feasible to me Jake, certainly much more so than, say, starting to drink in the morning and continuing to do so all day.  In any case, you can listen to him at this link, if you have the gumption to do so.

Javier Gonzalez reporting. ... We have an exclusive chat with Trevor Murdoch, in his first appearance at a wrestling event since his departure from WWE, at this link. He comments on his career, Harley Race and everything he's been doing since he was released form the WWE. All this in exclusive for LLO News and Luchalibreonline.
