I can't even pretend to understand the suits at TNN... it turns out that the WWF aren't pleased with them, as they haven't obtained more stations as promised. Apparently, this is why the weekly ratings - while still great - are lower than the zenith of the USA days. On top of this, parent company Viacom are trying to prevent the WWF buyout of WCW because it isn't airing on their channels.

First they screwed over ECW now the WWF... why do they seem so thick-headed?

OK. It's been a month-and-a-half now. I've been watching WWF Sunday Night Heat on MTV the whole time - and I've seen enough to see that the show stank and still does.

Heat fails on so many levels, it isn't funny... let's start with this idea of bands and videos on the show. What do they add? It was bad enough when the Heat package began to use videos and music as part of their summary of the week - but now it's worse. Who watches wrestling just to check out the latest videos? Not many; the concepts don't mix.

Then there's the setting. WWF New York could be fitting... but having to stand and watch the matches on a screen, instead of just being in the arena... it just feels wrong.

Next, the hosts. DJ Scribble has no place near wrestling. Rebecca is nice eye candy, but she has even less reason to be there than Todd Pettengil. Tazz...

Every week, I mourn more the loss of a great ring talent, washed down into a third-rate comedian. He just isn't funny. Even less so than Jerry Lawler - and anyone who's read ABomanation for awhile knows how little I think of him.

No, MTV Heat is a failing experiment every week.

Samoan wrestling legend Afa recently spoke about his nephew Rodney / Yokozuna's death.

First off, he insists that Yoko didn't die of a heart attack, but of natural causes. Actually, a heart attack is natural causes... nonetheless, whether this is an uncle's denial of facts, or the truth, is irrelevant. A young man was taken from the world far too early, no matter how you look at it.

Meanwhile, news has been released that Davey Boy (David) Smith has been arrested for threats to the lives of his wife Diana and Ellie Hart.

Asked to comment on it, Bret Hart was quoted as saying he "didn't care about any of them". Whether this quote is true - whether this news report is true to begin with - there are some interesting (and frightening) times to come.
