-This will be the final Dot Net Daily article for at least couple of days due to the Christmas holiday. This feature will return on Thursday or Friday. Be safe during your holiday travels and on behalf of the entire staff we wish you a very Merry Christmas.

-WWE Raw was taped on Tuesday in Austin, Texas and is heavy on the Christmas theme. There will be a Jingle Bells Divas tag match, and the commercials for the shows tease "Good Santa" Mark Henry vs. "Bad Santa" Damien Sandow. The show is actually headlined by John Cena, C.M. Punk, and Big E Langston vs. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose in a six-man tag match. Put some brandy in your eggnog and join me tonight for live coverage as the show airs on USA Network at 7:00 p.m. CT.

-Dot Net Members will be listening to my WWE Raw audio review tonight or on Tuesday morning. If you enjoy our All Access audio, help support Dot Net by signing up for membership to the ad-free version of the website via the Dot Net Members' Signup Page.

-33 percent of Dot Net Poll voters gave the WWE TLC pay-per-view a C grade. 30 percent of the voters gave the show a B grade. 18 percent gave the show a D. 11 percent felt it was an F. Only seven percent gave the show an A grade. Both Chris Shore and I settled in on a C grade in our TLC audio review that same night.

-88 percent of Dot Net Poll voters would like to see WWE Smackdown go live and change nights. Only 12 percent want the show to remain taped and air on Friday night. I'm definitely among the 88 percent. I dig the big show feel of a live show and I believe WWE could build up Smackdown as a "must see" weekly event.
