Former WWE Superstar Adam Rose is now using the name Aldo Rose. His Twitter bio now reads like this, "Ain't no more PG in this party! For bookings email imalemooon@gmail.com! Formerly known as WWE Superstar Adam Rose."

I hope he wears the yellow jockstrap mask.

Matt trying to leech off of a feud people actually care about for attention is pretty sad.

Cathy Kelley on the Sam Roberts Show. That chick seems super cool and even got the Opie With Jim Norton Show inside jokes, so I think I'm in love.

And I want to buy that Golden Truth shirt. And I haven't bought a wrestling shirt since an ROH one over 10 years ago.

Poor TNA, Cena names PWG, ROH & NJPW but no mention of TNA, even though less people watch them than the latter two named.

Wonder if Vince whispered in his ear "Mention that place & your fiiiiireeeed"

Unfortunate news hits the wrestling world, as news has emerged that Chris Warren, the lead singer of the "DX Band" has died at age 49.

Few details are known at this time, but Warren passed away on Sunday. A funeral service will be held this weekend.

Warren contributed vocals to several WWE themes, including the iconic D-Generation X "Break it Down" song. Warren also was featured in X-Pac's theme, as well as the intro do the late 1990's edition of WWF Superstars. Triple H's "My Time" was also performed by Warren.

Warren performed at WrestleMania 14, with a controversial rendition of America The Beautiful, in addition to playing Shawn Michaels to the ring for the main event. Warren would go on to lead the band Bro-Kin, and contribute several songs to TNA Wrestling events.

His obituary reads as follows:

I remember back then people online said he was HHH's cousin and that's how his band got the gig, but I guess not.

-- It finally happened. Thanks, in part, to going head-to-head with Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the June 13th edition of WWE Raw fell below the 3 million viewer mark for the first time outside of football season.

The show did 2.96 million viewers -- the second lowest for a non-holiday episode of the show since 1997, as there was a show in November that did 2.95 million viewers. The prior seasonal record low was 3.12 million viewers, and while the rating isn't out as of this writing, it should equate to a 2.1 or 2.2 rating.

The Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game on ABC did 20.53 million viewers.

Raw was fourth for the night on cable, trailing Rizzoli & Isles on TNT, Major Crimes on TNT, and The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News.

The show opened weak, even though it started before the NBA game, and had a fairly significant third hour drop.

The three hours were:

8 p.m. 3.04 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.11 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.76 million viewers

The episode was the lowest rated since the 3/3/97 Raw with the pre-taped Germany Raw with the double main event of HHH vs Bret and Owen vs Bulldog in the European title finals (which was obviously a great match.) But Nitro had a shitty show with a Luger/Giant vs Steiners main event and not much else but the last nWo Sting appearance on Nitro.

They are going to get smashed worse than ever when the NFL returns.

Over/under on the amount of shows it takes Vince to tell Cole & JBL to make "Wang" jokes?

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Vince probably won't even have tell them to do it. They just will.

Hopefully they make him wear purple.
