Celebrity Guest Hosts Find Fans, and Some Fun, in ‘Raw’s’ Ring
The addition of celebrity guest hosts to “Raw” coincides with a conscious decision by producers to make the program more family-friendly. Gone, in recent years, is the blood — real or otherwise — that was a staple of many matches, as are vulgar gestures to the crowd by performers past like Stone Cold Steve Austin.
“I’ve got young kids,” said Triple H, whose real name is Paul Levesque and who is married to Mr. McMahon’s daughter, Stephanie, executive vice president for creative development for WWE. “Years ago, we were what we were, and I certainly wouldn’t want to have my young kids watch that product.” “We’ve evolved,” he added.
Mr. Levesque, whose voice is less menacing outside the ring, speaks of the wide reach a “Raw” guest host might achieve with a single appearance. It’s not just the regular viewers — an estimated 420,000 of whom are boys ages 12 to 17. Some of the material will also be repackaged on the WWE shows “Smackdown” (an average of 3.5 million viewers), and “NXT” (1.3 million viewers) as well as on its Web site (wwe.com).
Ms. McMahon, who refers to her father as Vince at work, and Dad at home, took the “Saturday Night Live” analogy a step further, in a reference to the late-night variety show’s creator and executive producer.
“Vince would hate that I said this,” she said. “But he and Lorne Michaels are a lot alike. They both have a clear vision, and they both know exactly how they want you to execute it.”...More?

Jim Ross Criticizes UFC Over Paul Daley
WWE veteran and former announcer Jim Ross is always candid in his assessment of UFC pay-per-view events, and he provided similarly-interesting comments about Saturday’s UFC 113 event.
Specifically, Ross took UFC and its president Dana White to task for permanently banning Paul Daley from the Octagon after his post-fight antics Saturday.
“Daley lost his cool which has apparently got him ’suspended for life’ from UFC but I have a difficult time thinking that decision won’t be revisited at some point,” wrote Ross on his JRsBarBQ blog. “I do agree that Daley should be severely penalized for striking his adversary after the fight had ended with a blatant left hook but to banish the guy for life seems a bit heavy.”...More?

Kidsday Talks With Triple H
Did you play any other sports when you were younger?
I played basketball and baseball. My mom, ironically, wouldn’t let me play football because she thought it was too dangerous. Which is kind of funny right. When I turned 14 I went to the gym for the first time and started lifting weights and kind of fell in love with lifting weights too. I kind of stopped playing sports at that point in time and just kind of focused on being in the gym. I was like a gym rat. I was always at the gym working out. I enjoyed it.
If you could have a rematch with any wrestler who would it be and why?
If I could have a rematch with any wrestler. Probably Shawn Michaels. Even though Shawn and I are best friends is probably why I would wrestle him. We know each other so well some of the greatest matched I’ve had in my career have been with Sean and I consider him, in this generation, the greatest performer of anybody. To have the opportunity, he and I are so close as friends, but to have the opportunity one more time to get into the ring with him. Like a Wrestlemania or a big event like that and just to make people go crazy would be a thrill...More?

Mick Foley Follows Up on Triple H Criticism
Mick Foley published a new blog on MySpace today acknowledging that he could have cost himself professionally down the road after calling out Triple H
earlier this week. Foley says he felt he needed to say something about Hunter's dig at Lilian Garcia during the April 19 Raw, though. (Read Foley's initial blog calling out Hunter.)
"You'll just have to believe me when I say that my feelings about the issue were strong enough for me to speak up - even knowing that doing so may cost me professionally down the line," Foley said.
Foley acknowledged feedback he's received this week since calling out Triple H for his "horsing around" comment directed toward Garcia. Foley said some people have called him a hypocrite, but he felt like he had to stand for certain principles in this situation.
Foley, who titled his blog "do nothing, say nothing, be nothing," explained further: "I could go into great detail about why some of the issues raised (it was innocent joking around on Triple H's part, I'm a hypocrite because I made fun of Al Snow, Test, etc., where was I during the Mickie James angle?) but I think it would be far more productive for readers to try to figure out the differences for themselves."
