Saw some Rasslenewz type account tweet the "DB to have Tommy John surgery" again. Is there any validity to this?

My guess is they'll just have Cody's wife do it.

I remember Roberts worked some indy fed right before WWE signed him, and he was the absolute shits - I had no idea what they saw in him

He panned out eventually, but his early announcing was rough

Are they still doing that thing from when NXT was ECW where they hire an unending line of terrible female announcers for a few weeks before they're never seen again?
I think they've stuck with Cody's wife as the announcer for matches.

Okay Raw. First I've watched in awhile. Good decision not saving the pole match for HIAC.

Roberts getting fired is confusing. He seemed to genuinely love his job.

In news that matters: Tomorrow at the school I teach at, former WWE wrestler "Marvelous" Marc Mero (this is how it is actually written, bolded in every email I've gotten from my principal) is giving a presentation on bullying to the kids. If he doesn't shoot that damned Badd Blaster I'm gonna be PISSED.

Public school, actually! It is in the South, but we're inner-city so he'll probably dance around the Jesusy stuff.

It's a shame that advertiser's look down on advertising to wrestling fans. Imagine the T.V. deal WWE could have gotten by offering (theoretically) DVR-Proof sport-ish programming that airs every week out of the year if that were the case. The NBA's been on a downturn lately and it still got an absolutely insane amount of money.

I'm just thinking about that with all the cost cutting going around. A really good T.V. deal would have been able to support the company even if the Network was a complete flop (rather than just being unsuccessful as it has been).

The unsubstantiated rumor mill (random Twitters, Facebooks, and Reddit posts) says that Justin Roberts got into a heated argument with Michael Cole during a commercial in the Orton/Ziggler match and flipped him off in front of the crowd.

It was a gamble, flipping off Vince by proxy like that. Either get fired immediately OR be given a push for standing up for himself.

I wonder what argument a ring announcer could have possibly gotten into with a commentator that would warrant such a response.

That was actually the first pole match I've seen where both guys looked credible throughout although I am not going to pretend that I wouldn't be mad if Cena was the guy who won.
