They are selling at 2.99 brand new. I just thought I let you know.

Jim Ross has posted a blog on his website talking about last night's Raw/Saturday Night's Main Event taping in Washington D.C. He talks about Mike Adamle being named the General Manager of Raw, saying that it was a shocker. Ross wrote, "The naming of Adamle as Ras GM was universally considered a shocker by the Raw superstars. I did not see this one coming and it will be most interesting to see how the former NFL running back and sports broadcaster settles into his new, high profile. Some wrestlers were especially vocal regarding Adamle’s announcement which was kept as a well concealed secret." He also said Michael Cole will be back on Raw next week. Now that Adamle is going to be busy on Raw, it looks there's going to be a new ECW announcer. Apparently, Ross gave the name away. Ross wrote, "With Adamle focusing on Raw, rumor has it that Todd Grisham will join Tazz on ECW TV show going forward."
Regarding the supposed Raw/ECW taping on 12/1 in Washington D.C., the ECW taping is still on, reports PWInsider.com. The deal is that WWE will be taping ECW prior to Raw on weeks in which SmackDown is being taped on a Sunday for some reason. SmackDown's occasionally taped on Sundays to accommodate international tours. At the moment, it doesn't look like ECW will be with Raw full-time.
