What a week! My Sooners lose their No. 1 ranking in college football to our archrival the University of Texas of which my many dear, close personal friends inside WWE have so kindly reminded me, the Mrs. and I celebrate 15 years of marriage which in wrestling is something like 105 years, I actually win at blackjack in the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas where they did not have USA Network on cable so I missed watching the Anaheim Raw live for the first time in years, and Madonna may be leaving Guy Ritchie for the Fink. O.K., so perhaps I embellished on that last one.

Random thoughts from "The Baron of BBQ"...

Big Show vs. Undertaker at Cyber Sunday seemingly has the decked stacked against 'Taker, but how often have we found ourselves saying that? Folks should not forget that The Deadman has a pronounced sinister side when provoked and suffice it so say that The Deadman has been adequately provoked.

Big Show illustrates all three Cyber Sunday options this Friday Night on SmackDown, which airs on MyNetwork TV in case you haven't heard.

Friday night we will see a WWE Tag Title bout featuring the brother team of Carlito and Primo (Last name Colon, but having just one name is sooo much cooler). Who do these guys think they are, Coolio?

Fun loving R-Truth of "Whassup" fame has another tough test this Friday night when he meets MVP in a match that MVP should feel especially compelled to win. It's all about the money for MVP, who I hear spends more than he makes.

Kung Fu Naki? Right.

 As "The Fink" is to Dr. Joe E. Styles, a trusted advisor, so is Ezekiel Jackson to THE Brian Kendrick and we see a whole other side of Jackson this Friday night.

Eve Torres may be the WWE's most physically-gifted interviewer and that includes former college scholarship athlete Todd Grisham. I do know that Eve has better defined triceps.

Are we slowly seeing some sort of personality change in The Great Khali who perhaps would make a great Ambassador to India for the next president of the United States ... whoever that may be?

Certainly, Khali speaks comparable English as the governor of California.

Why isn't Natalya buttering SmackDown G.M. Vickie Guerrero's biscuits in hopes of getting another chance at Michelle McCool's Divas Title?

Speaking of lovely Divas, the French Canadian lass Maryse is never going to win Miss Congeniality inside the confines of the Diva Day Spa. Maryse's natural personality seems to be as black as the esteemed Dr. Styles' newest, black suit from the Men's Warehouse ... I guarantee it.

Yours truly had a religious experience in Vegas when I rode for the first time from the hotel to the arena with the "World's Angriest Man" Tazz, who somewhat disregards the colors of stoplights, turn lanes, and doesn't like taxi drivers who may not be American born. I could be wrong on the last assumption. I'm just so thankful that I was wearing a seat belt and a dark suit. However, a cross-country road trip with "J.R. and Tazz" could be the next great reality show. BROTHER!

"Sources say" that Kenny Dykstra has had to have WWE "shrinks" work with him on is newly-acquired bubble wrap phobia, and I just hope that no one starts calling the talented young man with the prominent proboscis "Bubble Boy."

Little known fact, but any of the wrestlers who speak with Festus during the day make sure that their cell phones are on vibrate, because the last thing anyone wants to happen is for a phone to "ring" with the Corn-fed Colossus standing in front of him. I wonder what happens when Festus gets a wake up call in a hotel.

Hey, didn't you used to be "Gregory" Helms? I'm just saying..

I'm not sure who gets my vote in the presidential election but I do know that I am voting for "Stone Cold" to referee the Jericho-Batista title match at Cyber Sunday in Phoenix. Is that so wrong?

The main event on SmackDown this week is Jeff Hardy vs. the undefeated Vladimir Kozlov and the Vegas crowd was into it without question. Get a load of next week's main event, which will be announced Friday night. It's bigger than the three meats, Slobber-Knocker combo at J.R.'s Family BBQ!

I can't believe that the Hard Rock Hotel in Lost Wages did not have USA Network in their hotel rooms and that I missed Raw Monday night. I'm a big Johnny Knoxville fan, great "Hollywood" name and loved him with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in "Walking Tall."

Good to see that the WWE Universe, I have to say it at least once per column you know, will be empowered to make some decisions by voting right here on WWE.com. Take advantage of the opportunity ... visit the site often and vote numerous times just like folks used to do in the Louisiana state elections.

"Sources say," don't you just love that term as it is so prominent in the 'rasslin world these days, that some Texas born large mouth bass were really pouring it on yours truly hard and heavy Monday in Anaheim over the Longhorns beating the Sooners. I just love these "classy," overbearing, over-cooked pieces of "pork butt" who love to bask in the unhappiness of others. Never fear folks as yours truly can take it and will likely be booed when I walk out in Laredo, Texas this Tuesday night to "Boomer Sooner" for what is going to be a HUGE Friday Night SmackDown taping. You know food will play into my trip to lovely south Texas, and on my agenda will be delicious Mexican food and/or a Whataburger stop. I do love me some Whataburger much like "The Fink" loves his onion bagels and Dr. Styles loves himself some J.R.'s Jalapeño Honey Mustard on his Italian cold cuts.

Boomer Sooner!
