Wow wrestling is doing far better than I thought. http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,272|||cable,00.html
Still a couple million watching. Also Spongebob occupies 5 of the top 15 spots, wow.

As for your comment on Steriods..... Hart was never a big guy in the Wrestling business not sure why you would even suspect he was on steriods....
As much as I like Bret Hart I'm pretty sure he used steroids when he went from Stampede Wrestling to the WWF. He was a pretty small guy back in the Pavillion. Not as noticeable as the Dynamite Kid or Davey Boy Smith but he sure got big pretty fast.

Maybe, but it does not mean he did Steriods...... Could be lots of hard work in the gym....

For those interested... It seems the WWE is starting an angle with Donald Trump vs. Vince McMahon tonight. There have been rumors of talks going on between these two for a couple weeks which would culminate at Royal Rumble with each manager of a wrestler. Since tonight they are doing a "Rosie vs. Donald" segment I would assume that they have reached an agreement but, as all things in wrestling, would be subject to change...

Too funny that the WWF is off the air because the New Westminster Dog Show has 1st priority.

Best in show for sure. I'd take a standard poodle over Shawn Michaels any day. CKC > HBK! hehe

HHH will be out 4-6 months with a ruptured quadriceps tendon.

That's right Burninator. The MMA craze is certainly contributing to the decline of professional boxing, but it would never threaten WWE, TNA, etc.

MMA/Boxing is prize fighting whereas WWE is a soap opera with acrobatics.

That'd be like saying that a show like Survivor or American Idol was threatening to take Days of Our Lives off the air. In actuality, there is no threat, and there is probably even a chance of a large amount of cross-over in demographics who would watch either one.

Is it the same leg? I remember when he first got hurt, the doctors said they were surprised his career wasn't over. I doubt he'd be able to comeback with him being older and getting his quad torn for the 2nd time.

rajah.com says it's the other leg that got injured.
