Bret Hart posted the following message today on Twitter, remembering his late brother:

“my life has forever changed after losing you Owen, it’s been an incredibly sad and lonesome world without you and it surely can’t be fair that heaven is echoing in laughter at all the pranks being pulled on the rest of the Angels …. and all of us here on earth are left with just our memories.”

“He said everything looked great, that I was good to go. I asked if I can go back to doing what I’ve always done, and he said it wouldn’t be a problem, that it actually should be good because it will be cardio work, which is good for me. Anything to get my heart rate up. I asked if taking a body slam would be an issue. He said nothing like that would affect my heart.”

How the release of her new album is being received by her peers and by TNA: “They have been really accommodating. TNA got the album a couple days prior to the official release date, and Dixie (Carter) has been totally cool since Day 1. She already knew this is what I wanted to do. They have been amazing.”

Why she wants Velvet Sky at 100% for their TNA Knockouts Championship Match this Thursday night: “I am little bit worried because I’m worried about her knee. She wasn’t 100% last time, and I really want to get in there and go. Even if I do win it, I will know that she wasn’t at 100%.”

The influence of Trish Stratus on her career: “She taught me so many little things. She is an amazing individual. The fact that she took time out of her moment at her (WWE) Hall of Fame speech to recognize so many women that have been a part of that along the way just shows what kind of person she is.”

“Tammy Sytch via Facebook: OK , time to go type up my book…. there are 480 handwritten pages to work on! talk to you all through out the night!”

Christina Vargas is a 28 year old, 5 foot tall and 180 lbs. figures and bikini competitor on the bodybuilding circuit. She was a junior national champion in 2009 before going pro and competing at the Olympia bikini contest the past 2 years.

Alexis “Lexi” Kaufman is a 21 year old bikini contest competitor who recently placed 14th at the Arnold Classic. Like Vargas, Kaufman also has had exposure in bodybuilding magazines.

Former WWE developmental head Tom Prichard, who was released when Triple H brought in his own crew, wasn’t happy about the WWE releases last week. He tweeted:

“Guys trust me; Karma gets everybody. From the ‘Lil Napolean to the Volleyball expert. Time will tell… Those who KNOW ‘know’ who Napolean and Mr. Volleyball are. ‘Nuff said. And I have no dog in this fight. But facts are FACTS!”

“Volleyball expert” refers to Triple H hire Canyon Ceman. The Napoleon jab refers to Matt Martlaro. He was nicknamed Napoleon by talents in WWE developmental because he started with them in Florida and once he started working for Triple H, the feeling was he started treating everyone differently and became unbearable.

It’s said that morale is at an all-time low in WWE developmental, according to one person. Another described it as at a mixed level. Prichard was much more liked as head trainer than Bill DeMott is. A lot of people are also being cautiously optimistic regarding the move to Orlando for the new WWE Performance Center.

There is said to be no laid out program for Brock Lesnar now that the feud with Triple H is over. Some people in the know within WWE are strongly speculating that WWE goes with a babyface CM Punk vs. Lesnar much sooner than later, with the idea of Heyman turning on Punk.

Former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas noted on Twitter that the happenings will air live on The Score right after RAW airs. He noted that Vince McMahon, Shawn Michaels and some members of the Hart family are scheduled to be involved.

“When you find out who somebody really is, it can be hard to take,” Hogan admitted. “People hide behind smoke and mirrors. When you find out somebody was never really your friend and never had your best interests at heart, yeah, it’s hard to take. But there is no more of that person in my life at all on any level.”

As noted, the May 20th WWE RAW did a 2.97 cable rating for 4.32 million viewers.

In the segment breakdown, Chris Jericho and The Miz vs. Fandango and Wade Barrett lost 360,000 viewers. Sheamus vs. Titus O’Neil gained 206,000, which is a very good gain for a match like that. Paul Heyman introducing Curtis Axel gained 365,000 viewers. The rest of that segment with Triple H coming out gained 13,000 viewers at 9pm for a 3.10 quarter rating.

Big E Langston vs. Alberto Del Rio and Layla vs. AJ Lee lost 47,000 viewers but that could be considered a success. Cody Rhodes vs. Zack Ryder and Ryback’s appearance lost 358,000 viewers. Kofi Kingston, Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. The Shield in their lengthy match gained 290,000 viewers for a 3.03 quarter rating.
