There are off air notes and Heat spoilers from last night in Huntsville, AL. There are also a few backstage notes about Spike and HHH's bachelor party. The Smackdown crew was in Columbus, GA last night with Kurt Angle/Undertaker over Brock Lesnar/Big Show. Smackdown is being taped in Birmingham, AL tonight, so spoilers should be out early.

RAW did a 3.6 rating (3.5 / 3.8 / 5.4 Share) down from 4.3 (4.2 / 4.5 / 7 Share), at least in some part due to Monday Night Football. WWE continues their fundraising for the Armed Forces Family Scholarship and Assistance Fund with autograph signings in Knoxville, TN, New York City, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Bismarck, ND and Chicago, IL. WWE announced a new licensing agreement with TVN Entertainment to provide monthly PPV events and the Fanatics PPV series.

Chris Jericho was a guest on the Orland Jones Show last night discussing wrestling, the internet, and his unborn's son's name. Mick Foley and Bradshaw were guests on Get in the Ring radio. Foley discussed New Jack, Hulk Hogan, and his latest Tietam Brown signing, while Bradshaw discussed book sales, hazing, and Vince's recent house show stoppage.

THQ has laid off most of the RAW 2 development team as the game nears an official release. IGN has an in-depth look at Goldberg in Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain.

Tomorrow night is NWA TNA's one-cent PPV (for fans with inDemand/TVN Entertainment/ExpressVu/Viewers Choice). It will include highlights from the Ultimate X match, Sting/Jeff Jarrett vs. AJ Styles/Sean Waltman, Raven vs. Jeff Jarrett, AJ Styles vs. D'Lo Brown, Raven vs. AJ Styles vs. Jeff Jarrett, and Triple X vs. America's Most Wanted in a cage. Fans with DirecTV will have an alternate PPv (at regular PPV price) featuring the Best of NWA TNA's Title Matches DVD preview. NWA TNA representatives handed out fliers for the one cent PPV to fans attending RAW.

The Dover, DE city council approved a city ordinance banning "ultra-violent" professional wrestling. The measure was reworded a bit to allow for WWE to hold events, but it prohibits the use of foreign objects such as thumbtacks and glass. Diamond Dallas Page was a guest on the Squared Circle Talk On Pro Wrestling and discussed the highlights of his career and his thoughts on the business today.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.
