Ryland report

's good to report that we have no injuries right now.

I encourage everyone to come and see us live. You really don't realise how good our guys are until you see them up close.

Hulk Hogan has been rumoured on other sites to be in negotiations with us. I will say that as far as i'm concerned, although we are of course keeping an open-mind, we have had no meetings with this talented performer.

Another great show from Raw, it's becoming a high point of the WWE week. Everyone is happy with the way Heat has turned out recently.

I'd like to thank our great sponsors - World Domination Inc, Droese Garbage, Irwin's Taxes and EWR 4.0 - for their continuing support.

Until next time, take care...
Adam Ryland

7/10. Matches are getting better. My only thought would be to drop Dawn Marie as Storm's manager, as the game's telling you he doesn't need her. Either that, or download a stats update where it has Dawn Marie with more charisma. As it is, she's not helping Storm get over at all.
