My quick (low confidence) predictions: Angle, Goldberg, Chris Benoit, Dudley Boys, Shane McMahon, Undertaker, Rob Van Dam. Dave Scherer has some notes on how Zach Gowen vs. Matt Hardy maybe handled on the PPV tomorrow. Rhyno did an interview with St. Louis' The Stranglehold to hype Summerslam, but he also found time to discuss working as a face and heel and ideas for his return that didn't happen.
The winner of WWE's Diva Search contest will be announced a bit later tonight. The official RAW rating (4.0) didn't change after the overrun of 4.5 factored in. Chavo Guerrero, Jr. may return to Smackdown Tuesday. WWE made Forbes People to Watch for this week because of their first quarter 2004 fiscal earnings report on Tuesday.
Wrestler and Marlborough, MA mayoral candidate Christopher "The Skunk" Antal is in the middle of a major political scandal after details of his arrest for sexual assault 17 years ago became public. Antal plea-bargained from rape and kidnapping charges to indecent assault and battery, with a suspended two year jail sentence and three years probation. But, according to Massachusetts law, he should have registered as a sex offender. Antal says he was never told to register by anyone, and thus didn't, making him in violation of the law.
