Fast Three Counts

Some news from inside the squared circle and beyond...

- Huge Monday Night Raw tonight from L.A. where DX (Shawn Michaels and Triple H) will team up to take on W.W.E. Champ Randy Orton and Umaga.

- "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will return to answer Santino Marella's derisions

- Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio will face Mr. Kennedy and Finlay in a inter-promotion bout.

- Will Chris Jericho finally return tonight? Jericho was a guest last week on Opie and Anthony and took one of their sidekicks to task for making fun of the late Christopher Reeve. I just can't get where the humor is in making fun of someone like Reeve.

- D.H. Smith and Chris Masters were both suspended for violating the W.W.E.'s Wellness Policy, which means they both had some form of steroid in their systems. For Masters it was his second offense, which means he won't be around for 60 days. For Smith, 22, it is especially sad being that his father Davey Boy, died in 2002 at the age of 39 of an enlarged heart most likely due to years of steroid use. D.H. was only recently brought up to the Raw roster and has "superstar" written all over him. I hope he gets it together for the sake of his health. I saw some articles already comparing him to his father, for all the wrong reasons.

- Former Women's Champ, The Fabulous Moolah, passed away over the weekend at 84.

- Nicolas Cage was ringside Saturday night for Ring of Honor (R.O.H.) wrestling at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Cage was there scouting in preparation for his role in The Wrestler which begins shooting this winter.

Keep it in the Ring!
