Hi, guys...I'm back. Did ya miss me? Nevermind.

I've been trying to keep up with the 'rassling business, although at times it seems the more things change, the more they stay the same.

* * *

The selection process for Raw's Host of the Week seems to have no rhyme or reason and has lasted long after its novelty has worn off. Some weeks it has been someone connected to the wrestling business, but most weeks not so much. I still don't know who Seth Green is, nor do I care very much.

Let's see…we’ve been treated to ZZ Top, Jeremy Piven with a movie to plug, Freddie Prinze, Jr., and an abysmal appearance by Sgt. Slaughter. I'm sure it wasn't the Sarge's fault though, since it was probably management who thought it would be a hoot to piss off  and disrespect the fans in Calgary.

At least all of the aforementioned celebrities managed to arrive on time for the show. But what was up with Floyd Mayweather's tardy arrival? Was it a diva-like ploy? Or did Mister McMahon really want his birthday celebration to highlight the first hour of the show?

Assuming it was Mayweather's intention to make a fashionably late arrival, he should have kept in mind that in Vegas, there is no shortage of readily-available celebrities. I'm sure he could have been easily been replaced by Wayne Newton, who would have made as much sense as some of the other choices. 

* * *

I noticed that Triple H and Shawn Michaels are back in DX mode. These two Peter Pans (sing it with me: I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up) trot these personas out periodically, no matter how old they are getting. Do they not have a mirror to see the receding hairlines and crows feet?

Just asking.

* * *

Over on CBS's "Big Brother," Jessie, the muscle-headed, 'roided out wrestler wannabe has been given the heave-ho by his fellow housemates. Not only has he lost the ability to flex his muscles three times a week in front the popular reality show's large audience, but given his graceless exit from the Big Brother House, I'd venture to say he has lost his foot in the door to sports entertainment fame, as well.

Buh bye, Jessie.

Thanks for reading and see ya next week.
