Kathie Lee and Hoda discussed their WWE RAW appearance on Today yesterday. They joked about getting booed, and Hoda said that it was "kind of exhilarating." Lee then said that she was against the appearance from the beginning noting that it "did not smell good," but was talked into it. Lee and Hoda then said that they wrote the segment. Lee later talked about being backstage and said that the wrestlers were "the sweetest gentlest giants" and very polite, a big shift from when she ripped the business and "sleazy" wrestlers in her autobiography.

So Creative wasn't to blame for why that Lee-Hoda segment was bad after all.

Earlier in the show TAJIRI betrayed W-1 and joined the top heel group, DESPERADO, by helping Kono defeat Masakatsu Funaki in a W-1 championship semi-final match.

The only good news is average viewership went up each hour - 3.577 to 3.891 to 3.924. The NFL game drew a typical viewership of 13.2 million, so it wasn't as if the NFL was the reason for the lost viewers. Raw was still no. 2 on cable behind the NFL game. The male 18-49 was at a near rock-bottom level for the show.

Some other stuff included Michael Elgin "quit" announcement was confirmed to be a work by the Observer and SummerSlam's buyrates ended up being lower than initial reports (30k-40k lower).
