WWE.com has learned that 12-time World Champion Triple H will kick off SmackDown. What will The King of Kings have to say about his new home just days before he defends his title against John Cena at Night of Champions?...More?

Smackdown gets best of draft
Every year following the latest WWE draft we feel like we write the same story – Raw got the better deal. But now, for the first time ever, we’re pleased to say it’s rival show Smackdown everyone is talking about. The Friday night broadcast gained wrestling’s biggest star and best commentator in Triple H and Jim Ross...More?

Why J.R. is a crybaby
The most surprising move of the supplemental draft was one that did not take place. Jim Ross did not move back to Raw, so I guess we will be seeing him on Friday nights for the indefinite future. J.R. is actually going to be the central figure of this blog. Let me preface this by saying I have a lot of respect for J.R., but at the same time, this needs to be said and in the process, I am sure I will ruffle some feathers.
Ross is an old school tough guy who marches to the beat of his own drum. That would work just fine if his only jobs were his restaurant and barbecue business. However, he works for World Wrestling Entertainment and more specifically, Vince McMahon. When you work for someone else, you cannot and do not always get your way. Ross seems to forget that...More?

Sonjay Dutt getting good reviews
Even though the Pink Taco brawl with Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt last week on Impact didn't come off as well as hoped, officials think Sonjay Dutt is doing a great job as a heel with his character and ring work.

Why JR Got Smacked: A Look Inside the WWE
After watching last night's WWE Draft/Annual "Kill Vince" show, the most shocking draftee wasn't Triple H, Kane or anyone in tights. No, it was Jim Ross, who was drafted to SmackDown and no draftee has looked less thrilled since Eli Manning got picked by San Diego.
Why trade announcers? Vince has told fans for years that the announcers don't matter (don't call matches, ask moronic questions, look stupid, be a boob) so how can trading JR for Michael Cole help either show? It can't... this was personal...More?

Rumor Mill - Vince & JR argue after Raw
Reportedly, there was an argument between Jim Ross and Vince McMahon after Raw as Ross turned down an invitation to fly on the WWE corporate jet from San Antonio to Houston for SmackDown. As noted earlier in his blog, Ross contemplated quitting WWE with his wife until 6:00 a.m Tuesday morning. Anyway, McMahon told Ross that he (Vince) risked his life on Raw and ruined his son-in-law's life for the sake of the company. Word got out on what Vince said regarding Triple H and it gave some people a chuckle considering that his move to SmackDown is greatly beneficial to his personal life.

Who tried to kill WWE Chairman Vince McMahon this year?
World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman Mr. McMahon was nearly killed in an accident at the end of Raw Monday night, about a year after his limo was blown up and he "died."
While last year's storyline was controversial (I liked it), it was rightfully pulled after the real-life Chris Benoit double murder-suicide. This year's drama could be just as interesting as last year's was before the plug was pulled...More?
