George Schaffer sent this in: The link leads to a ESPN podcast of "The BS Report," an interview segment conducted by ESPN's top Page 2 columnist, Bill Simmons. I haven't had a listen myself yet, but the caption on the site reads "Bill Simmons invites wrestling expert Dave Metzler onto his podcast to discuss the state of the sport and details of the Benoit tragedy." For those not familiar with Bill Simmons, he writes a fantastic column & often conducts great interviews with people from all across sports & entertainment. He's mostly a casual WWE fan who's written running diaries of his views of several past WWE PPVs (including Summerslam 2001, Royal Rumble 2002, and Wrestlemania XX). Check out his archives, they are a light & amusing read (link to archives: click here - scroll most of the way down the page). To hear the interview, click here. (Thanks to Kurdt Cocane and Alfonso Garcia for also sending word about this)

I missed a majority of it but I caught a very interesting part when asked if the Benoit Tragedy and House Shows effect the ratings. She claimed no but said the recent lower ratings had to do with the story arc being unfinished obviously referring to the Vince McMahon death angle. I found it interesting that they think the reason for the lower ratings is the Vince McMahon Death angle not finishing.
