He wrote that Nick Bollea is serving a jail term for "simply being a complete, unmitigated redneck boob." To read the full article, click here.
-Meanwhile, the season premier of "American Gladiators" bombed in the overnight ratings with a 2.9, according to Zap2It.com. This is also lousy news for TNA wrestler Matt Morgan, who is scheduled to debut in the middle of the season as gladiator "Beast." The show finished ahead of only The CW's "Gossip Girl" in the overnight ratings. Ouch. For more information, visit Zap2It.com.

-In related news, Bill Watts comments on the deaths of Banner and Leo Garibaldi via email, which Jim Ross published at JRsBarBQ.com.
