Greetings, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all from a BBQ loving, Oklahoma Sooner football fan who is happy to be home as holiday air travel is about as enjoyable as discussing the BCS with JBL.

My suggestion to those of you that have a choice of flying or not this holiday season would be, “Are you nuts?!” Tuesday morning I was at the Toronto airport at 4:30 (that’s 3:30 Oklahoma time) and the place was an insane asylum.

It was a worse scene than our pal the Fink OD’ing on chocolate covered pretzels.

How hot was Trish Stratus Monday night when she teamed with Raw’s #1 man John Cena? Trish got the proverbial “Road Warrior” pop when she was introduced to her home town fans. Just curious, but why have some of my most unforgettable moments happened

Happy Holidays to all from under the custom-made, black hat from WWE’s resident BBQ aficionado/restaurateur who has yet to spend one minute shopping for the holidays.

Sunday was a great night for the Hardy family in general and specifically for the new WWE Champion Jeff Hardy who most likely is the first WWE Champion ever that has not only designed his own ring attire but also actually sewn his own ring attire. Jeff winning the main event, yes I said the main event, at Armageddon Sunday was one of those “moments” that will stick with many fans, including yours truly, for a long time.

The state of New York has had more WWE Title changes than any other state, but this one was a first for the city of Buffalo which has a rich, wrestling history including the likes of such

Why am I still full from Thanksgiving? Probably because I feel like I have been eating TURKEY FOR A WEEK!!

Man, I’m glad I got that off my chest. Now on with the show …

If you miss Friday Night SmackDown this week, you will be punished by having to “Out-Think the Fink” in your own living room, followed by a sleepover with the future WWE HOF’er and then a trip to the sauna together.

Is this week’s Friday Night SmackDown big? Oh, hell yeah!

Undertaker vs. Big Show inside the dreaded, steel cage is the main event and what a match you’re going to see. I thought this was one of the best matches between these two, rather large gentlemen that I have ever seen them have and it was more intense, in my humble opinion, than their Casket Match at Survivor

For those in the United States and who may be elsewhere celebrating Thanksgiving, we wish you the very best of this special holiday. And to you that read our blogs here on WWE.com from abroad, we thank you for checking in with us again this week.

The 22nd Survivor Series is in the history books and it was a solid show emanating from Boston in front of over 15,000 fans who sold out the Garden. It was a big night for homegrown John Cena, but perhaps an even bigger night for Friday Night SmackDown's Edge, who left Beantown with his 6th World Title.

Jeff Hardy's bad luck continues in such distasteful ways as he was apparently bludgeoned in the stairwell of his Boston hotel late Saturday night. I did not like reporting on this matter or do I enjoy talking about it here, but the point is that Jeff

What a weekend. Friday Night SmackDown from jolly ol’ England with the final word before Sunday’s Survivor Series all sandwiched, BBQ’ed of course, by Saturday night’s Oklahoma Sooners vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders marquis match-up in college football here in Norman, Okla.

Whew.

The stakes are high Friday night for the enigmatic Jeff Hardy who has the opportunity to wrestle his way into the main event at Survivor Series IF he beats Triple H in this week’s main event on MyNetwork TV … starring MyTazz … according to Michael Cole who still hasn’t recovered from his in-ring two-step with Goldust on Raw a couple of weeks back. But I digress.

The younger Hardy has a lot of folks I come in contact with talking about his antics the past few weeks, and

Just as Dorothy said in the “Waffle House Movie” or was it The Wizard of Oz, there is no place like home. Enough already of coughing people, crying babies, anti-deodorites all contained in a flying cylinder known as an airplane for multiple hours. Nonetheless, travel issues aside, I am happy  that WWE has had such success in their autumn, European tour and the live audience that many of you will see on Friday Night SmackDown will illustrate why so many of us enjoy traveling to the England in particular. 

The “Angriest Announcer in the World,” my partner Tazz, actually landed in Manchester on Sunday so he was there an extra day and many of us barely left the hotel in downtown Manchester, the Marriott Renaissance. Tazz was in rare form when I first saw

Greetings to all from under the black, custom made hat from WWE’s resident Okie, who has looked forward to this week much like many of us do for WrestleMania … it’s time for Saturday’s Oklahoma-Texas Red River Rivalry college football game in Dallas. More on that later, but now on to the ever-popular “Random Thoughts.” (Which is a metaphor for one not knowing exactly what to write about so one writes about many things.)

Even though the “World’s Angriest Announcer” and me had only two matches to broadcast at No Mercy, I personally enjoyed the pay-per-view and thought the fans in Portland helped elevate the presentation. The final three bouts of the pay-per-view, two of which were ironically, wink-wink, broadcast by the Friday Night

Your resident Okie has been as busy as a fruit merchant this week working on a variety of WWE projects including ECW, SmackDown, WWE 24/7, WWE Home Video, and WWE.com.

But alas all is well in Oklahoma as the business at J.R.’s Family BBQ Restaurants is good plus the No. 2 ranked Oklahoma Sooners have a huge, home game this Saturday night against the nationally-ranked TCU Horned Frogs. 

For those of you that may be scratching your head on just what in the heck the meaning of “busy as a fruit merchant” is, please allow me to elaborate. When I was a kid growing up in eastern Oklahoma, fruit merchants would set up shop along varying intersections and sell fresh fruits and vegetables out of the back of their pickup trucks. If business wasn’t good in a particular

From the land where people love’s J.R.’s Family Bar-B-Q Restaurants more than they adore Olympian Michael Phelps, your resident Okie has a weekly helping of SmackDown and some delicious “side dishes” for your sports-entertainment taste buds.

Raw’s John Cena and Batista are now not on the other’s holiday card list. There’s a significant physical confrontation between these two this Sunday at the 21st SummerSlam. This one won’t resemble a Funk vs. Brisco mat classic from the 1970s, and my best guess is that we are going to see a slobberknocker of a brawl along the lines of those of yesteryear in my hometown tavern on a payday Friday night.

Prediction: I’m taking Batista and the points.
