WHY SHANE MCMAHON WAS AT THE MASTERS YESTERDAY, JERCHO THE MATCHMAKER, VENTURA AND MORE

For anyone wondering why Shane McMahon would be as the Masters yesterday outside the obvious, Shane sits on the Board of Directions for International Sports Management. ISM is a management agency that caters to golf clients such as Ernie Els and Rory McIlroy. McIlroy is the golfer who yesterday blew a 4 shot lead, and shot the worst final round since the 1950's from a leader, so you can assume Shane was giving one of his clients some moral support after a rough day. Thanks to Clint Novak.

The CT Post featured a preview of tonight's Raw taping, which they called a wrestling event. I am sure someone in WWE isn't happy about that. You can read it by clicking here.

Jesse Ventura was on WAAF FM Radio in Boston, MA this morning and noted his son is now on the payroll for Ventura's Conspiracy Theory series, which to him meant they were going to go forward with the new season. He also noted that pressure from the Obama Administration caused an episode from the second season to be discarded and ignored by TruTV once it aired.

A number of gossip websites are noting Chris Jericho played go-between to set up American Idol's Pia Toscano and Dancing with the Stars' Mark Ballas for their first date as Jericho and Toscano share a mutual friend. As the story goes, Toscano had Jericho pass along a note to Ballas and that got the ball rolling.
