Daily Rapp Up by Bryan Rapp

RAW scored a 4.2 (4.0/4.3) rating with an overrun of 5.4, which is pretty close to last week's 4.2 (4.0/4.4). Many Smackdown wrestlers were backstage at RAW since both shows take place in Colorado Springs, CO, and the Torrie Wilson/Noble sleep together segment was taped yesterday. Smackdown spoilers should be out in a few hours.

After RAW went off the air last night, live fans were witness to a special Goldberg vs. Triple H match (also includes Heat spoilers). Unfortunately, HHH suffered a groin injury during the match and will not be on the Australian tour this week, as the long flight could worsen the injury. Triple H's status for Summerslam is currently considered "hopeful" by WWE pending visits to doctors later this week, though they currently fear he may have a hernia.

Shane McMahon is expected to wrestle Kane at Summerslam. WWE.com posted an excerpt of Bradshaw's new financial book. Goldust predicts he'll be champion one day. Former New York Yankee Rich "Goose" Gossage was in attendance at RAW last night. Rico briefly discussed his character with WWE.com.

Tomorrow night's NWA TNA PPV will feature Raven/The Gathering vs. Shane Douglas/The New Church in a Clockwork Orange House of Pain match, Jeff Jarrett vs. Legend in a Double Pole match, Chris Sabin vs. Michael Shane for the X Title, Ricky Morton vs. Kid Kash in a special challenge match, plus a sit down interview with Vince Russo.

Bret Hart wrote about his love of rugby, another sport which causes lots of concussions. Honky Tonk Man did an interview on his website about Piper, Flair, Nash, HHH, Lawler and other wrestling current events. Bill Banks talked to Ryan Nation of WTTU 88.5 in Cookeville, TN about his new job with NWA TNA, including plans for more NWA TNA columns, and his time in WWF and WCW. Tough Enough 2's Kenny King discussed losing in the finals, the show, and his current wrestling career. Kevin Kelly is starting with Jersey Championship Wrestling as writer/booker.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.
