First off, I know that a lot of you will be heading off for a long weekend so I wanted to take a second now to wish you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. We are truly thankful for the support that all of you give this website. Have a great holiday.
A lot of people are emailing us about net stories that Shane McMahon has cashed out "50 to 80 millions dollars of his WWE stock" to buy a piece of the UFC MMA company. All I can say is I am hearing the rumors, but I don't know if there is anything to them.
Here's a link to Jim Ross' thoughts on Monday's Raw. As always, it's a good read.
Speaking of Raw, I can't believe that I forgot to mention my thoughts on the announce team of Jesse Ventura and Vince McMahon on my hotline yesterday. For those who asked I loved it, mostly because Jesse is so good at dissing the WWE honcho, and Vince plays the goof very well in Jesse's company. I also noticed that Vince is still every bit the hokey announcer that he always was, notwithstanding. Man, it's hard to rip on Michael Cole when Vince goes out there and sounds like that. My other thought was did Vince prerecord himself yelling and then play it into the headsets during their time on air?
While on the subject of Ventura, Michael Motley sent this link, which goes to an interview he did promoting his new TruTV show.
Here's a link to an interview that Mickie James did with The Shreveport Times to promote next month's show in Bossier City, LA.
