Randy Orton on Ken Anderson: "I Hope He Finds Something He's Good At"
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Randy Orton recently made some harsh comments concerning former WWE and current TNA star Ken Anderson. Orton had the following to say:
"He is in denial. He thinks you have to be able to do a moonsault to know how to work. And, as far as dropping me on my head, he did. He never got to see all 4 camera angles of him doing it. I did. Plus, the left side of my neck down to my trap was sore all week in Mexico. I did tell Ken that he shouldn't be dropping me on my head with such a simple basic move. He never said sorry, and even called me a liar after the match. I remember looking at him in disbelief. And yes, I did tell management I did not want to work with him after that. Who wouldn't? That's my side."...More?

More Raw Guests Hosts Revealed
From wwe.com:
Oct. 18, 2010: Bobb'e J. Thompson
Starring alongside Big Show in the upcoming WWE Studios film Knucklehead, which opens October 22, Bobb'e J. Thompson is quite familiar with the kind of over-the-top thrills that can only be found within the WWE Universe. But when the Role Models star visits Raw to serve as guest host, the young comedic actor just might have his hands full.
Oct. 25, 2010: Toby Keith

Raw Results: Nexus or Against Us?
In the glow of victory over Mark Henry, Barrett was joined by his Nexus cronies, who awaited a meeting with John Cena. Earlier in the evening, a flustered Cena hinted that he may be open to joining the group that had cost him everything. And while Nexus initially hinted that they may be open to a truce, Barrett insisted on more. He told Cena that, in order to further his career at WWE, he must join The Nexus. Cena refused, though, and informed Nexus that they should enjoy the next three weeks because at SummerSlam, The Nexus isn’t going to make history, “The Nexus is history!”
Cena's disposition changed when he announced the formation of his own group, including Edge, John Morrison, R-Truth, The Great Khali, Chris Jericho and WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart, who hadn’t been seen since The Nexus had attacked him! The newly formed group then charged the ring and chased off the outlaw group. Full results.

No Word On Pacquiao-Mayweather Fight
Boxing could be enjoying a major B-12 shot right now. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. could be hyping the second in a highly lucrative series of fights. They could be setting up other contenders for when that well runs dry. Someone could be trying to make sense of the dropped dinner plate that is the heavyweight division.
Instead, Pacquiao is mulling offers for rematches that mean nothing while Mayweather is riding his Segway around a mansion paid for by fans who had some foolish expectation he was a competitor. And their sport is sinking into the ground.
Of the trifecta of pay-per-view attractions in this country -- the UFC, the WWE and boxing -- only the UFC and WWE have anything approaching a steady business. When boxing offers an event that features neither Mayweather nor Pacquiao, it sinks like a stone. And even with those two, 2009's Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto and Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez bouts failed to exceed the buy rates for UFC 100. The boxer who devours most of the media's attention, Mike Tyson, hasn't fought in five years and will never fight again...More?
