Daily Rapp Up by Bryan Rapp

There are additional off air notes from RAW last night. The Smackdown crew was in Valparaiso, IN last night, and Smackdown is being taped in Milwaukee, WI tonight. There are "virtual time" spoilers for Smackdown courtesy of Pro Wrestling Torch.

Last week's Smackdown was outranked in the ratings by UPN's Monday comedy block, falling to #4 on the network. WWE will release a Ric Flair autobiography in March 2004, as well as a new 2 disc DVD set for Mick Foley, and a Kurt Angle DVD. The Radford, VA Tartan has a fairly lengthy recap of a recent house show match between Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar as they built up to their Iron Man match.

The Rock was on the Late Late Show last night promoting The Rundown and playing 5 questions. The Rock's uncle, Ricky Johnson, reviewed his nephew's movie for SLAM. Rock did an brief interview with Jackie K Cooper at the Vallejo News, covering his young movie career, and his upcoming projects. There are a few more Rundown reviews, from Screen Daily, the Daily Vanguard, and Mansfield News Journal.

Tomorrow night's NWA TNA PPV will feature AJ Styles/Vince Russo vs. Dusty Rhodes/Jeff Jarrett, Michael Shane vs. Jerry Lynn, D'Lo Brown vs. Christopher Daniels, 3 Live Kru vs. Vampiro/New Church, Kid Kash/Abyss vs. America's Most Wanted, and Mad Mikey/Shark Boy vs. Sonny Siaki/Ekmo Fatu, plus part 2 of the Roddy Piper interview and appearances by Raven, Sandman Erik Watts and Don Callis. Prior to tomorrow's PPV, in some markets, TNA will debut their free 30 minute PPV pre-show, to help promote the night's event..

NWA TNA will launch a new website on Monday, which means I get to update my news gathering code. NWA TNA announced additional Xplosion distribution making it available on Rainbow Media’s Metro TV and Empire Sports Network, covering most of the New York City area and upstate New York area. NWA TNA announcer Don West has a new job as host of SportsRadio 56 WNSR's "The Pressbox" in Nashville, TN.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.
