Daily Rapp Up by Bryan Rapp

The RAW crew is in Spokane, WA tomorrow night, while the Smackdown crew is in San Bernardino, CA. WWE announced Judgment Day is officially sold out (although ticketmaster disagrees) but more tickets may become available Sunday after the building is setup. WWE's Judgment Day at the Staples Center moved the Lakers-Spurs playoff game 6 to Saturday, which gives TNT the right to air instead of ABC. There were rumors that the NBA offered WWE money to move the PPV, but WWE's Gary Davis denied there were any discussions held.

Smackdown kept UPN in fifth place last night, ahead of WB. Steve Beverly wrote about RAW's ratings decline for the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. WWE renewed the trademark for "The Hardy Boyz".

Dr. Tom Prichard's latest commentary is about the reasons people get into wrestling and how Bradshaw has changed since he first met him. WWE.com has an article on their youngest referee Chris Kay and his training in OVW as not only a referee but a wrestler. WWE.com posted the latest edition of Miss Jackie's Jargon in which she discusses moving to Smackdown and her dating application. Batista spoke before senators and congressmen yesterday at the Dirksen Senate office building about the need for challenge, and the chance the National Guard's Youth Challenge Program provides.

Jonny Fairplay won greatest villain, as well as best fight with Rupert, in last night's Survivor Awards. Mike Johnson has several NWA TNA notes about company in-fighting, "Moody" Melendez, contracts, and plans to possibly bus wrestlers from Nashville, TN to Orlando, FL. Christopher Daniels was expected to appear at tonight's USA Pro Wrestling show in Queens, NY, although he and other NWA TNA talent were originally pulled after TNA's new booking policies.

Derek Burgan reviewed Ring of Honor's The Battle Lines Are Drawn from January saying it has a slow start, but has an unbelievable main event. Bryan Alvarez and R.D. Reynold's book The Death of WCW is now listed on Amazon.com with an October 2004 release.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.
