Internally, the low rating of the most recent WWE Saturday Night's Main Event is viewed as a disaster. While WWE and NBC both wasn't expecting a huge increase from the previous show, they definitely needed something higher than a 1.4 or 1.5. A network like NBC can't afford to have a rating that low, even on Saturday nights.

On the other hand, the belief is WWE is willing to risk some things to appear to be "in" that Hollywood scene.

On CM Punk's commentary: "For those that choose to watch or to DVR NBC's Saturday Night’s Main Event, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with World Champion C.M. Punk's commentary during the opening 8 man tag that featured Raw Superstars. Punk doesn't get the credit yet that he has earned or deserves as the World's Champion. Punk has some RVD-like qualities about him as it relates to having a loyal and vocal fan base. If Punk can continue to navigate choppy waters, he will hopefully establish residence on the "next level" and stay there for the foreseeable future."

On what he thinks ECW should do: "Here's an idea for ECW TV... go young... stay young... and take chances on new individuals and concepts. It looks as if that may be the direction the Tuesday night Sci Fi show is heading. I like watching ECW because one can usually see more wrestling in their hour than many other hours on TV."

If you have $10,000 lying around (and who doesn't?), you can now bid on one of Hulk Hogan's old WWF Championship belts on EBay.

The belt belongs to an old WWF ref, and was taken after the late Mr. Perfect destroyed it on a Saturday Night's Main Event years ago. Good Luck to anyone that actually wants to bid on it!
