- Last night's episode of WWF Smackdown! scored a 5.0 (8 share) overnight rating. The final rating should be up later today. - WWF.com has started a new feature on the website, Crash Holly's movie review. In this edition, Holly reviews "Osmosis Jones". To check it out, click HERE. Credit: WWF.com - Prior to their match on Sunday Night Heat, Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler spent significant time in the ring with Ivory to prepare for the match. - The two first employees who were laughing at Booker T at Raw on Monday were WWF public relations directors John Porco and Adam Hopkins. - The Undertaker recently moved to Austin, Texas. - The reason the ring ropes were so loose at Summerslam was because a screw came loose in one of the turnbuckles. Following the Jericho/Rhyno match, the ring crew wiped the ropes and tightened the screws. Credit: Cody Monk at DallasNews.com Jason Barrett sent in the following: Recently the 9th wonder of the world Chyna joined the No Holds Barred radio show and had some very interesting things to say. She discussed her split from the WWF, her future in movies, embarassing moments, posing for playboy, career highlights and a whole lot more. This is a must read if you are a wrestling fan. Here are some quick samples of the interview. SA: As far as the characters, their development, such as you just mentioned yourself being the former Intercontinental Champion. Ladies like Lita who are getting some exposure now. What's your opinion on them and do you foresee anything such as being Intercontinental Champion for ladies like Lita? Joanie: No I don't. Reason being, and I like Lita very much. I think she's a great girl and I think she'll be great for women's wrestling but I think the one thing that was different for me was that I was blessed genetically and as an athlete and like I said I lent that sense of credibility. Are there a lot of 5 foot 10 180 pound females walking around out there who know how to wrestle or are athletically inclined? Not really, truth be known. Jason: Of all the angles you worked during your time in the WWF, which one stood out the most for you? Joanie: Well, I think obviously the one with Jeff Jarrett, the Intercontinental Title Championship. I don't think that my skills were particualrly as good as they were when I was finishing, but I think that that was the great gender barrier match. We had a lot of fun and people were into it. The girls were screaming on one end of the arena and the guys were screaming on the other and we were hitting each other with toasters and I even got a frozen fish for that match (laughs). It was just so much fun and it's something that I gained enormous amount of respect for Jeff Jarrett. SA: Now switching gears a little bit Joanie. I don't mean to switch the subjects so fast off the website, but on to the book "If they only knew". Now, what was the reason behind writing the book and what are some things that fans will be surprised by in reading your book? Joanie: Well I think the company had been doing different books and they approached me about writing a book. A couple of years before I tried to write my own book and again we came up with the whole issue of if it was not a wrestling product than I could not do the book as Joanie. I had always wanted to write an auto-biography because I felt the position that I held was very intriguing for many people. I felt that Chyna had made her mark as a character and I felt that it had been long in the running to get there and stories that I felt people would really like to hear.
