Final Smackdown rating, Triple H's return, XWF schedule, and more Submitted by William Martinez on Friday, December 14, 2001 at 6:02 PM EST
Last night's episode of Smackdown scored a 3.6 (6 share) final rating. This has to be disappointing news for the WWF considering last week's episode drew a 4.2 and Monday's Raw scored a good 4.7 rating.
According to radio ads in the Atlanta area, Triple H will be wrestling at the Royal Rumble. With news of Triple H being booked for upcoming house shows along with this latest development, it certainly seems like his return is coming sooner rather than later. Triple H himself has gone on record as saying that he will be back by the Rumble.
At least one XWF official is telling wrestlers to expect to work shows three nights per week throughout the month of January. The promotion has already officially scheduled three dates for January along with expected plans for a second two-day television taping early on in the month.
Chris-tian! Chris-tian! At last, you're hosting HEAT!
The European Champion himself will be at WWF New York this Sunday for HEAT, at 7/6 CT, live on MTV! Christian is always a handful, but after being choked out by Tazz on SmackDown!, will the European Champion and the HEAT co-host be able to get along? Find out this Sunday!
Several matches have already been announced for this Sunday's show. Trish Stratus will defend the Women's Championship against Jacqueline. Also, Big Show takes on Chuck Palumbo, and Perry Saturn goes one-on-one with Funaki!
So be sure to catch all the action this Sunday at 7/6 CT on MTV, when Christian hosts HEAT!
There is a little story on Page 2 of ESPN.com and one of the features and one of the things is , what would happen if Vince Mcmahon held the Jason Giambi press conference. It's really funny, and they even mention Jim Ross, and they have Giambi going "heel" to the Yankees and JR, saying "My God"! a really funny take on the WWF and Baseball.
