    It's Halloween week here at WWE.com -- my favorite non-PPV-related time of the year in the Stamford HQ offices.

    Also, we've been sharing that creativity with you all week long on our WWE.com HalloWWEen page.  Make sure you spend a little time checking out the following features before they get put away until next year...

    A night in the City of Lights

    WWE Universe has touched down in the "City of Lights", Montreal, Quebec, Canada -- just hours before WWE Breaking Point at the Bell Centre. 

    And just as the WWE.com crew hopped the plane to the Great Not-Yet-White North (it's not quite cold enough yet...), huge news broke as the United States Championship will be up for grabs Sunday night, as Kofi Kingston defends against The Miz.

    55005527d78bf20966cad2615d9f89ae.jpg?v=91200

    We'll be talking more about this match and the other six exciting throwdowns on the WWE Breaking Point Live Chat, Sunday night starting at 6:30 p.m. ET.

    Don't miss your chance to chat with the Intercontinental Champion John Morrison, starting at 7:30 p.m.  Join Howard Finkel and me for a night of exciting action and live results from the Bell Centre, plus surprise guests all through the night.

    This is the Universe Live Chat crew's first excursion into Canada. Walking on Rue St.-Denis tonight, I got a good look at Old Montreal, and the beautiful waterfront.

    And also, upon recommendation of Live Chat co-host Howard Finkel, I tried a "smoked meat" sandwich here from a downtown eatery. Pretty delish, but I'm sure Jim Ross would rank Oklahoma-style BBQ above this sliced smoky beef.

    Plus, I took a quick trip to Casino Montreal ... doesn't this amazing post-modern building look like it was inspired by Superman's Fortress of Solitude?  Also, check out the cool BioSphere nearby.

    Well, it'll take Superman-like performances by current WWE Champion Randy Orton and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk to overcome their opponents in their "I Quit" and Submission Matches respectively.

    It's the ultimate test of endurance! It's WWE Breaking Point, and it's LIVE Sunday night, right here on WWE.com Webcast, PPV providers, and in our Live Chat section.

    We'll see you then!!

    Eight years ago...

    Friday, September 11, 2009, 12:31 PM EST [WWE]

    Eight years ago....

    The first public gathering of a large size after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. was in Houston, Texas, as WWE went live with SmackDown on Sept. 13.

    "We will not live our lives in fear! The citizens of Houston are not afraid. The citizens of Texas are indeed not afraid. And by God, the citizens of the United States are not afraid! 

    For we are a proud people, proud of who we are, and we are damn proud to be Americans! ... We will fight for our families. We will fight for our rights. And we will fight for our great nation! 

    America's heart has been wounded, but her spirit shines as a beacon of freedom, that never has been or never will be extinguished!" 

    Mr. McMahon
    SmackDown, Sept. 13, 2001
    Houston, Texas

    Watch the video of Mr. McMahon's speech and Lilian Garcia's tear-enducing National Anthem here.

    Never forget. God Bless our Troops. And the USA!

    Barker buzz abounds

    If you grew up watching "The Price is Right" in your youth as I did, you probably had a smile plastered across your face throughout Monday Night Raw last night, as guest host Bob Barker transformed the AllState Arena into "The Price is Raw."

    And the Internet took notice of Barker's appearance on Raw. As Bob took the Raw stage, Twitter exploded with Barker mentions, making him the No. 1 Top Trend on Twitter throughout most of the show (and in the Top 25 in Google Search Trends as well) ... which had some in the non-WWE media concerned. With all the legendary celebrity passings this summer (Michael Jackson, most notable), I can understand the assumption/worry.

    And the glowing reviews of Barker's performance keep on rolling in.... The author of "Priceless Memories" (which all proceeds go to the DJ&T Foundation) was very well received by Examiner.com's Rick Rockwell...

    "Bob's appearance on WWE RAW was fantastic. He displayed great professionalism, command, and could interact with anyone. He truly is a legend in television."

    Also, TV Squad, Entertainment Weekly, the Hartford Courant and the Baltimore Sun chimed in on Barker's appearance on the longest-running episodic program in cable history.

    So, what did YOU think WWE Universe? Chime in on the comments below or in the Raw Forum. Also, don't miss this weekend's WWE Breaking Point Live Chat, only here on WWEUniverse.com.
