WWE Byte This Once Again Blasted By TNA Callers
A caller named Pat phoned Byte This! earlier tonight and asked Todd what he and Vince McMahon thought about TNA signing Sting. Todd said he didn't think Vince really cared because he was the interim GM of RAW and was having a good time. He then quickly hung up on the caller.
Another caller from Calgary, Canada called in and asked Chris Masters a question and then quickly noted "and be sure to check out TNAWrestling.com". Click. Todd ignored it like it never happened.
Another caller phoned in at the end and said "Hey Todd, I love how you dodge TNA questions like you dodge women". Todd was about to answer him and the caller hung up!
Someone in the chat stated "TNA Sucks" and Todd noted it and said "Wow, that's good".
They also showed a video preview of Heat this week which showed former TNA knockout Trinity.

RAW Advertisement With SmackDown! Stars, Jake Roberts Lawsuit, More
Look for "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan to appear in a movie that features Dennis Rodman and the late Pat Morita.
An advertisement for this upcoming RAW was aired during TSN Sportscenter tonight. What was weird about the advertisement is that it featured SmackDown! brand wrestlers Matt Hardy, Chris Benoit and RAW wrestler Rob Van Dam.
Jake “The Snake” Roberts and the WWE may have some problems up their sleeves soon. Members of Jake Robert’s family especially his farther are not to please with some of the comments made on the recently released DVD of Jake Roberts. Currently the family has not taken any legal action as of yet, but it will most likely happen soon.

More On Juvi's Release From WWE, More News Inside
Mike "The Miz" made his last official appearance for Deep South Wrestling last evening. He will now report to OVW where he will start working with Chris Cage as a tag team, which has been in the works for a while.
Michelle McCool returned to Deep South last night after a lengthy absence due to illness. The former Diva Search contestant and current Smackdown interviewer Kristal Marshall was used as a ring announcer for the TV segments as well last evening and former WCW referee Johnny Boone worked the dark matches.
With his release, it is obvious that Juventud will not be in the Triple Threat matches this weekend. Following up on Juvi's release, it appears that he had been warned by management several times about his behavior, so much that Psicosis and Super Crazy distanced themselves and refused to travel with him. What seemed to cause the release is that Juvi and Kid Kash went over their scheduled match time by several minutes on Tuesday's Smackdown tapings. This was expected and should not come as a surprise.
WWE.com are directly linking to ABC.com's Dancing with the Stars online voting page. A "VOTE NOW" headline is the main story on WWE.com. This move will definately give Stacy an advantage over the other contestants as they probably aren't getting assistance from a big popular site such as WWE.com.
