JR talks about TNA & Kurt Angle, Kanyon wants attention, + UK ratings
On Thursday, September 14, 2006 at 4:42 PM EST Jim Ross has a new blog up on his website where he talks about the recent TNA angle with Jeff Jarrett, Kurt Angle, thoughts on WWE & ECW at Madison Square Garden and more at this link.
Chris Kanyon, who many have labeled as becoming very desperate for attention lately, was on an internet radio show in Canada recently where he claimed Bret Hart admitted to him that the Montreal Survivor Series incident in 1997 was a "work" and that he was involved in orchestrating the whole thing. Kanyon said Bret told him this in WCW. Line of the day goes to Dave Meltzer on Kanyon's comment, "Sure, he told you seven years ago and you kept the secret until now."
WWE ratings in the UK for the week ending of September 3: Raw on Thursday drew 101,000 viewers (down 9%), Friday Night Smackdown had 112,000 viewers (up 93%), Saturday afternoon replay of Smackdown did 36,000 and a Saturday night replay did 50,000. ECW drew 37,000 viewers on a Sunday morning airing, while a Sunday night replay drew 36,000.
