SmackDown This! (Dec. 31 2008) from WWE.com

Happy New Year everyone! Here’s hoping that each of you have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2009.
Nice, quick trip to the Izod Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey this week to tape Friday Night Smackdown. I really admire the fans, and there were lots of them, who stayed with us until the end of the marathon taping session.
Did you know that there is a Vickie Guerrero action figure and that it is hot? If you tune in Friday night you might see more of it than you ever dreamed thanks to HHH. I know that “The Fink” has an extensive collection of Diva action figures including his favorite Gladys “Kill'em” Gillem and one would assume that Mrs. Edge’s will be added to the future Hall of Fame Ring Announcer’s collection soon.
Just please don’t tell me that Fink alternates the action figures’ attire. Bad visual and we shall move on.
The tag team duo of the ruggedly handsome Great Khali and the “Quiet Man” Dave “We can’t call you Fit” Finlay joining forces this week invoking my use of the term “corned beef and curry”, not to be confused with biscuits and gravy.
Hey, didn’t you used to be Hawkins and Ryder, former WWE Tag Team Champions…the pride of Long Island…and two gentlemen formerly known as “Edgeheads?” Just checking. Perhaps the two of you should try your hand at singles’ careers and seek a trade. Or think about playing for the Long Island Ducks. I’m just saying.
Once of my trusted sources, Stocky Balboa, says that Finlay is having some issues with his mischievous son, Hornswoggle. Seems the little person is just plain ornery as he is in obvious need of a shave and is known to run up his dad’s tab at hotels watching endless movies while Dad’s away.
I did not see the effervescent Maria this week thanks to the ambush by the uncool Michelle McCool who used to be the Divas Champion. McCool’s change of attitude certainly isn’t becoming of her. What must FSU’s Bobby Bowden be thinking of the Seminole alum?
The new Divas Champion, who never met a mirror she did not like, Maryse, suffered a dislocated knee cap recently but isn’t expected to miss much ring time. The French Canadian can return to Montreal and enjoy a healthy portion of smoked meat…..from Schwartz’, which is world famous in Montreal.
Is it just me or does the WWE Divas hair grow faster than any other human beings on earth?

Happy New Year JR and Family and God bless!
All Hail the King of Glory!
Although, in reality I know that my opinion does not
count and that this is a waste of my time, I thought I
might as well share my opinions. I was at the Friday
Night Smackdown! TV Tapings last night in East
Rutherford, New Jersey. I camped out overnight in the
bitter cold for these tickets as I and four other WWE
fans got fifth row seating from the ring on the TV
angle side. I was having the best time of my life
until WWE and security confisicated my sign in which
on one side stated: MICK FOLEY>TAZZ and on the other
side WWE FEARS RANDY SAVAGE. Although my mother
actually made the sign with hours of hard work,
measurement, and dedication, I still felt like I was
betrayed and slapped in the face by World Wrestling
Entertainment; a company that I have been extremely
loyal to for over 20 years by going to live events,
giving to charities that the company has supported,
buying thousands of dollars in WWE merchandise, and
giving WWE and all of its employees a job (including purchasing several items of your website) because
without people like myself, there is no World
Wrestling Entertainment. I thought it was a shameful
act on their part since the sign had no vulgarity
represented, no sexual references, no anti-"good guy"
remarks, and no mention of any other wrestling
organization. I thought it was my right as a member
of the WWE Universe to voice my opinion. All these
years I have been hearing that when you come to a live
event to "voice your opinion, to scream and boo
whatever you want, etc." just as long as you do not
jump over the guardrail (which I completely
understand). I was doing what I was told to do and
that was expressing myself. Until recently, I
realized that WWE's very own message has been
ranting on for years about is nothing more than a
hypocritical statement. One can only express his or
herself to the COMPANY'S liking and not to what one's
actual opinion is. Besides this, everyone still had a
great time and I actually ended up getting the last
laugh because I went home with Jeff Hardy's t-shirt
that he threw into the crowd after his match. At this
time, I would like to thank World Wrestling
Entertainment's own Jeff Hardy for turning a sour
experience into a positive one and for redeeming World
Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. for their partiality in
a fan's 1st Amendment Right. Thank you, Jeff Hardy.
I hope you contact WWE Fan Services with your issues. I am personally sorry you had a negative experience but I certainly appreciate and respect fans with your passion.
All the best to you and your family for the New Year, JR.
Hope to see you in Toronto in 2009.

Happy New Year to you JR, I hope 2009 brings a great year to your family, and sports entertainment.
My comment is you've had alot of broadcast partners over the years, but one in particular I dont think you had alot of time with, but gelled very well the little time you did have with him. I remember in 1993 when you first came to the WWE and many of your broadcasts were with Bobby Heenan. Bobby is my personal all time favorite for commentary while you are for play by play, but both of you admittedly were at different stages in your careers when you worked together in 1993.
Speaking of Bobby, Have you heard how he is doing healthwise lately? I have not and I wish for a speedy recovery and can only imagine some of the stories you and many others could say about him.
Best wishes
Jon
