WWE is
advertising
Brock Lesnar for the edition of Raw the
night after Summerslam, which is set for August 18 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

— Fans who regularly attend the WWE NXT live events in Florida
note that Solomon Crowe, formerly known as Sami Callihan, has developed a really
strong following. Crowe continues to work dark matches at NXT TV tapings, which
has become somewhat of a running joke among the NXT regulars. Crowe should get a
very good reaction on TV when they finally have him debut.

— The following are highlights of a new blog by WWE Hall Of Famer Jim
Ross:

On the Mark Henry/Damien Sandow angle from RAW:
“The Sandow/Mark Henry…OU vs. Texas bit in Austin, home of the Longhorns was
neither entertaining nor did it have anything to do with Summer Slam. So why was
it on the show? Was it a cheap shot at your’s truly? Surely not. JBL knocking my
family’s BBQ products was a low blow but in the wrestling biz that it is called
ribbing on the square and “all in good fun” which is a lame explanation. I did
not see RAW live and watched it on our DVR but my twitter followers had alerted
me of the announcers having fun at my expense or so they perceived. Perhaps some
one actually thought the segment was entertaining and if that’s true that
explains many things regarding today’s product.”

On the new Paul Heyman documentary: “The
documentary aspect of the @HeymanHustle DVD is excellent….simply excellent.
The video is now on sale and I can’t recommend it enough. For me to be included,
along with the departed from WWE CM Punk, was a nice surprise and I feel that we
both were able to contribute some to the production. Paul is in the same
conversation as a manager as is Bobby Heenan which is rarified air as far as I’m
concerned.”

On possibly doing some MMA work: “My agent is
working on a play by play gig for me for a MMA event and let’s hope that gets
done. I’m motivated and ready to stick my toe in the MMA waters and if I get the
broadcast partner that I’ve requested then this broadcast could be a helluva lot
of fun. Stay tuned.”

On WWE moving SmackDown tapings: “Someone with WWE
told me that WWE was considering going back to the Super Show TV Taping concept
where they do RAW live on Monday night and also tape Smackdown the same evening.
That’s a load of work….more than a load….but it would save WWE tons of money
by eliminating the Tuesday Tapings. Time will tell if this cost cutting move
will actually happen but it’s a giant undertaking nonetheless.”

“If it does occur then it might be a timely move to split the announce teams
on the two shows so that the announcers can all prepare for one show plus it
would make the shows sound differently as they all sound pretty much the same
including the PPV’s. @MichaelCole is carrying a mazing work load and it’s
inevitable that this much over exposure will burn him out sooner than later. WWE
can ill afford for that to occur. I’ve said it before, few people at TV work
harder than Cole who runs the show at the announce desk during the busiest and
most unique time for a broadcaster ever in WWE with so many masters to serve and
to promote while the matches are on going.”
