NOTES

----Corey promised there would be an announcement about live wrestling…DK in the ring with Doom was good…They turned Brian C and “Too Kool 2” without really running an angle; right??…Lawler being examined was funny…I liked White’s “Timberlake” gimmick.

----Take a look at the full report and some other things that I found that were mentioned on the show.
