Huckabee Endorsed by Ric Flair

..."It's a tremendous honor to offer my support to such an outstanding leader as Mike Huckabee," Flair said in a statement issued by the former Arkansas governor's campaign. "His authentic conservative qualifications and level of executive leadership experience are unmatched by his opponents."

MMA Fighter Vasquez In Critical Condition After KO Loss

After suffering a knockout loss in an MMA bout at two minutes, 50 seconds of the second round of a recent match against Vince Libardi, fighter Sammy Vasquez is in critical condition.

The following are some updates from Sammy's wife Sandra, posted on the TXMMA.com internet forum:

Good morning,

Sammy really needs your prayers. He is stable, but in very critical condition. As of today, he has been heavily sedated. They do not want him to have any activity, no movement of any kind. It seems his brain is swelling. They are monitoring him very closely. He is on the respirator and he’s keeping his blood pressure at a good range on his own. They have asked that we keep visitors to family only. The doctor said we need to pray for him. Please pray for Sammy and the family. I thank you for your prayers, love and support.

God Bless,
Sandra

Update - Sammy suffered a massive stroke on Friday and the family has contacted LifeGift.

Observations During Survivor Series Weekend

Fan Interaction: One thing I enjoyed this weekend was how superstars including Batista and Triple H interacted with fans. Despite being big stars, it's always important to remember the people who are making the success possible.

Triple H, Major League: Umaga may get the award for the hardest working performer for the weekend with four physical matches in three days, but Triple H gets the nod for most entertaining.

Here is a guy who makes his job look easy and has fully developed his persona. His jokes about past storylines and the 'news' backstage were easily the highlights of the weekend.

Triple H is a rare breed of performer. He can be a comedian, but when the bell sounds, he can instantly be as serious as a heart attack....More?
