Triple H, Promoting McMahon, Draws Fans From Tri-State Area
"Great experience overall," Colman said of meeting HHH. "Very nice gentleman."
Shawn McCoy, a McMahon campaign spokesman, said HHH's appearance was designed to motivate college students and other campaign workers to knock on doors for McMahon this weekend. About a dozen students from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. came to Fairfield for the door-to-door campaigning.
HHH said he came to Fairfield Saturday morning to motivate and thank campaign volunteers. "I'm glad people are getting up and taking that challenge to try to change things," he said.
HHH said there was a flipside to criticism that McMahon was trying to buy an election - he said everybody buys an election and that McMahon would be beholden to no one since she was using her own money. "She will owe no one when she gets in, and she'll be able to make huge changes," he said.
HHH said he'd support McMahon regardless of whether she was his mother-in-law because she knows how to run a business and was fiscally responsible. He added that it was noble of someone to use their own money and time "to get elected to a civil service job, really, that's probably a thankless job, in my opinion."
"She's doing it for my kids. She looks at the state and thinks things are screwed up, looks at the government and thinks things are screwed up, and she's going to spend her time and money to try to fix it. She's making a sacrifice, sacrificing all these things - money, time and personal life - to better the state and country," HHH said.
HHH confirmed his absence from wrestling was due to a torn biceps, though he said he also had been filming two movies for World Wrestling Entertainment, where McMahon formerly worked as CEO. He said he didn't know when he would return to the ring. "I'm kind of taking it day-by-day and rehabbing the injury as best I can," he said...More?

SmackDown Results: Unstoppable Force
Just as they did at the start of the night, The Nexus intervened in the action by attacking before a winner could be determined in the evening's Lumberjack Match. After focusing their assault on John Cena, the house lights dimmed. Then, from out of the darkness, The Undertaker emerged. With Paul Bearer looking on, The Phenom unleashed his fury on The Big Red Monster both in and out of the ring. Kane tried to battle back, but was met with the full force of his brother’s chokeslam as "The Father of Destruction” raised his mystical urn high. Full results.

Rumor Mill - No "Tribute to the Troops" in the Middle East This Year
According to a report by Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE will not be holding its annual "Tribute to the Troops" event overseas in the Middle East this year. The belief is that with some live event schedule reshuffling in late November and early December, it will make it impossible for an event to be arranged. Were told WWE is looking into doing something similar domestically at a military base. WWE had held events in the Middle East for the last seven years since 2003.
J.R. Comments on Raw's Ratings Decline
Lots of talk about Monday Night Raw's last couple of TV ratings and them being lower than normal. There are two primary reasons for this matter, in my opinion. Monday Night Football provides immense competition on cable TV on Monday nights. ESPN/ABC has a huge investment in the NFL and they spend countless hours promoting each Monday Night Football contest. MNF on TV is a right of passage in America. ESPN battles with the USA Network for ratings supremacy and popping big numbers on MNF is the key to ESPN's success from September thru January. The flexible scheduling is much more amenable to strong football ratings and that did not exist years ago. Bottom line is that football has seemingly become America's game of choice and MNF still has significant cache as a brand...More?
