I'm feeling the Uso Brothers (especially Jules!). I think Tamina will be ok once she gets over her nervousness.
Bourne Finds His Star Identity
As World Cup fever starts to grip us, we were in a football frame of mind as we watched Raw this week. The show felt like the wrestling equivalent of a 1-0 win. It was a victory, the team were solid and dependable — it just was not very spectacular.
The star performer was Evan Bourne, perhaps the Aaron Lennon of the Raw brand. He is an exciting, quick talent who many would like to see given time to shine...More?

Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore Comments on Triple H
Nick Dinsmore (Eugene) recently did an interview with Ring The Bell Radio. He talked about his time in the WWE, and mentioned a little bit about HHH when the interviewer asked him about who would win in a fantasy match, HHH vs. Andre the Giant. He says HHH would win by a hair. He was also asked what HHH was really like, Nick says that when he knew him he was a very nice guy, funny, 100% dependable and tried to help put over a lot of guys who didn’t make it, and he also said that it’s easy for others to be jealous and talk dirt when they are two steps behind the top guy . He also mentioned that he didn’t feel HHH’s relationship with Stephanie really mattered because he was the top guy at the time anyway, and as far as HHH thinking highly of his self – he really wasn’t because he really was that good. Nick said he’s seen a lot of the dirt sheets and stories on HHH and he doesn’t agree with them. You can listen to the whole interview here. The HHH part starts at 21:43.
