Last edition of Heat confirmed + announcers also up for grabs in Draft?
On Friday, May 30, 2008 at 6:52 PM EST WWE's Josh Mathews has confirmed at this link that the final edition of Heat (its 513th episode) will be airing this weekend on WWE.com. This confirms reports last week that WWE has plans to scrap the show and bring the ECW brand over to Raw every week beginning after the company's tour of Australia that lasts from June 13-17.
Jim Ross has a new blog up on his official website (jrsbarbq.com) where he talks about the upcoming WWE Draft in a few weeks and how announcers could be involved as well.
JR added quote, "It will be a big night in San Antonio on June 23 as the, apparent, Annual WWE Draft will be held during a 3 hour Monday Night Raw. I am interested in how the order of the draft will be determined and the process that will be utilized to make the selections. I read where the TV announcers are also eligible for the draft, which is perplexing. I can’t speak for the King, but I am personally not interested in leaving Monday Night Raw. I hope that I didn’t just jinx myself. Working regularly on another broadcast would feel strange at this stage of my game."
