Are You Ready for a Presidential Rumble?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Cable, Gossip,
All eyes are turning toward Pennsylvania, where a highly important primary war will soon be waged. Pundits expect the race to determine the outcome of the Democratic nomination…but the pundits have said that about many, many primaries during the current race to the White House. Before you Pennsylvanians cast your votes, let’s see how the Presidential hopefuls handle themselves in a wrestling ring.
The three contenders will appear tonight on the USA network for Monday Night Raw, each with taped messages for wrestling fans at large - and Pennsylvania voters in particular. “Tonight, in honor of the WWE, you can call me Hillrod,” Senator Hillary Clinton will say in her message. “This election is starting to feel a lot like ‘King of the Ring.’ The only difference? The last man standing may just be a woman.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Games, Reality, Sports, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Ratings,
Although she may be loved in indie films, Parker Posey is apparently not a star on the small screen. The premiere of her new show was a disappointment for FOX’s Friday.
8pm
- The Price is Right (8.7 million, 2.0/7 in 18-49) lost 1.6 million in change.
- Amne$ia (4.8 million, 1.4/5) was up slightly.
- Friday Night Smackdown (1.4/5) averaged 4.3 million over its two hours.
- Grey’s Anatomy* (3.8 million, 1.0/5) discharged 200,000.
- The Return of Jezebel James’ debut (3.2 million, 1.0/4) was the lowest-rated show of the evening.

Reality News: ‘WWE’, ‘Big Brother’, ‘Dancing with the Stars’, ‘Survivor’

After ten years with the CW/UPN organizations, the wrestlers of the WWE are now in search of a new home. Friday Night Smackdown - a decent ratings earner for the network - wasn’t apparently considered worthy of its renewal price. Displeased with recent negotiations, World Wrestling Entertainment has started shopping its product around town.
Although the loss of the show will now create a two-hour void in CW‘s weekend lineup, the network will now have a place to shelve their experiments gone wrong (e.g. Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants). Or maybe they can use the spot to air marathons of America’s Next Top Model or Beauty and the Geek?
Whatever they ultimately do, they have until Sept. 12th to figure it out.

Project Runway: Season 4: ‘Raw Talent’
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Features,
What is the polar opposite of high fashion? I’m guessing professional wrestling after watching tonight’s episode of Project Runway on Bravo. Tonight’s challenge had the six remaining designers creating a look for the Divas of WWE. (That stands for World Wrestling Entertainment for the uninitiated.)
This challenge took the lingerie and figure skating challenges of seasons past to a whole new and tackier level. You don’t need a degree from Parsons to know that under the best of circumstances it is hard to make spandex, stretchy lace and rhinestones classy or wearable.
Despite the violence they inflict in the ring, the Divas of WWE seem like fairly nice gals. They requested outfits that best showcased their wrestling alter egos… like the sexy tomboy or sexy gold digger or my favorite: the classy sexpot.

WWE RAW Reflections (12/17)
Posted by David Onda Categories: Action, Prime Time, Sports, Cable, Cable/Satellite, Editorial, Features, News, Spoilers,
Fresh off of last night’s Armageddon pay-per-view, it’s time for Monday Night RAW! Last night, Edge became the World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Batista and The Undertaker, WWE Champion Randy Orton retained the title over Chris Jericho when JBL interfered and Shawn Michaels beat Mr. Kennedy. Tonight, we’ve got a big divas match, Ric Flair vs. Umaga, a tag title match and a big return to RAW.
The show kicks off with a delicious “Santa’s Little Helper” match featuring Victoria, Layla, Jillian Hall and Melina taking on Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, Michelle McCool and Maria. Jillian opened with her usual entertaining destruction of a Christmas classic. All the girls look absolutely amazing. Kelly Kelly has really gangly looking legs. Lillian Garcia accidentally announced Kelly with the heel team - awkward. Maria wrestled the least, while Kelly botched a move at some point. McCool is starting to get some respect and seems to be getting to work a good portion of women’s matches. Once again, Mickie seems to be the sexiest of all the divas. I don’t know what it is, man. She is just on fire. Mickie scores the pin on Victoria for the win. Couple of nice impact moves and sells from Melina in this one.
Join me after the jump to find out which retired WWE Champion is joining the RAW roster.
