Indeed she does

Even got his wife living the coffee gimmick.

She gave a fantastic performance at the Grammy Awards on C4 the other night.

I'm still surprised that they haven't had her sing the national anthem at WM yet. Maybe this year as Otunga is featuring quite heavily at the moment.

Bounty Hunters (staring Trish Stratus) is up on the PlayStation Store to rent or buy, along with a trailer (in which she's in a school uniform delivering a bulldog).

It currently has a user rating of 1/5.

If only pornography existed.

John Laurinaitis @WWERawGM
With all this talk of "Lin-Sanity," I'm pitching my own last name-based disease for my fans. Considering "John Laurinaitis-itis." Thoughts?

Gold.

I've been thinking about this .... No way in hell is santino making it to the start of the match. Someone will beat on him and nick his spot.

WWE RAW Ratings Breakdown 13th February

Quarter 1: Show opened at a 2.9
Q2: Lost 49,000 viewers (Chris Jericho vs. Kofi Kingston)
Q3: Lost 24,000 viewers (Backstage shenanigans with John Cena and Zack Ryder; John Laurinaitis and David Otunga)
Q4: Gained 93,000 viewers (Big Show vs. Randy Orton)
Q5: Gained 822,000 (return of Michaels, Triple H, Undertaker video) to take the show to a 3.6
Q6: Lost 621,000 viewers (Dolph Ziggler vs. R-Truth)
Q7: Lost 320,000 viewers (Tamina Snuka vs. Brie Bella; Eve walking into the back of an ambulance & ensuing snog with Cena)
Q8: Lost 139,000 viewers (C.M. Punk vs. The Miz) to do a 2.8.
Over-run: Gained 505,000 (Kane zooming Ryder off a 3ft stage) viewers to close out on a 3.1.

One bad segment after another led to over a million viewers leaving. What the hell are they going to do when they can no longer rely on the 90s to draw a rating in 2012?

In a big surprise, Vince McMahon made the call to take Brodus Clay off television, feeling his ring work wasn't good enough. Apparently it was a match with Heath Slater that was taped and pulled from SmackDown that did him in.

And one of the best mid-card gimmicks in a long time hits the buffers. You can't get behind anyone in this company. "Ring work isn't good enough"? I can only presume McMahon happens to time his gooseberry fools when Khali is wrestling.

While not officially announced, the belief is the Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, will be the home of WrestleMania in 2013. It had been the frontrunner for at least a month or two. The idea would be to do Axxess events in Manhattan.

I reckon it was to do with him not being able to remove his trousers properly.

And what about the two hot dancers! They need to create the RAW GIRLS or something...

Or maybe they can hold up signs, like you get in boxing & the UFC. Or when RAW first started...except that was a fat old boot.

So Ryder is a massive joke now then?

He's been made to look like an absolute tool in this storyline.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Not doing any more of his online show either.

strawberry floating WWE.

So Ryder is a massive joke now then?

He's been made to look like an absolute tool in this storyline.

And from what I understand...He's no longer even in control of his youtube show. The ultimate burial.

Edit - Sorry Jam! Didn't see your reply.

[Drumstick]

Just listened to a vintage theme.
