Your host is the legendary Todd Pettengill. He wonders if the net worth of the house they gave away is still in the positives after the housing market crash. Sheesh. Forget that this guy still has an ’80s-sitcomy vibe about him, he’s making 2008 jokes. Read the rest of this entry

Another Sky Sports edit. Sorry, guys. We’ll go back to the original full-length USA network feed for the rest of the year. This week, you miss out on not one, but two matches. This means I must give you the missing results in Eric Bischoff fashion. I want to let all you fans with the clicker in your hand know what is going on over at the World Whining Federation. Steve Austin beats Scotty Taylor with the cobra clutch. Didn’t we fire that guy? What a loser. The New Rockers battle the Hillbillies to a double countout. What’s new about Marty Jannetty? Seriously! Stuck in the 1980s much? Oh my. Are they trying to put us to sleep? What is the deal. Come on. Okay, now that we got that out of the way…
