Randy Orton maturity, more thoughts on the WWE Title change, still looking for a Dot Net contributor

Monday, APRIL 28 - 11:42 A.M.
-Within minutes of posting a recap of the Baltimore Sun interview in which Randy Orton discussed how much his wife's pregnancy had matured him, I received an email from a friend who questioned how much progress Orton has actually made. I haven't heard any negative stories about Randy lately, but I'm told that Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. has. Apparently, Orton tossed a tray of food in the hallway of a hotel room during the recent European tour because the hotel staff woke him up too early. I guess one can only hope that Orton's daughter sleeps through the night when she arrives this summer.
-I know I can't be the only person who is bothered by Triple H, Undertaker, and Kane holding the major singles titles in WWE. If a person awoke from a 10-year coma today, he/she would probably be freaked out by MP3 players, TIVO, and Guitar Hero. However, the person could ease his/her way into the modern era by watching WWE since three guys from the Attitude Era are the top singles champions in WWE. It's like nothing has changed. I'm guessing that whole WWF/WWE thing might throw the person for a loop, though.
-I'm still waiting for my weekly "Heyman Hustle" fix. The UK Sun posted the latest video last Tuesday and it's cut out 36 seconds in ever since. Meanwhile, I haven't noticed any problem with the Sun airing other videos on their main page. I enjoy the Hustle, but I don't like feeling like I'm being hustled. You'd think they'd at least pull the Hustle until it's working properly. At the very least, they could replace the Hustle with the Page 3 girls until it's working properly. I think the Page 3 girls are the answer to most of the world's problems, but that's just me.
-Here's what I know about tonight's Raw. Hunter will make his first appearance as the 12-time WWE Champ. Mr. Kennedy is returning. And William Regal's coronation will take place. Oh, and I guess we won't be seeing Dave Taylor make any surprise appearances at his old pal's coronation.
-I'm still searching for a contributor to write the weekly WWE Smackdown TV report. If you are interested and able to watch the feed that airs at 7 p.m. (CT), drop me a line at dotnetjason@gmail.com.
-For those who have asked, the couple's wedding shower went well. Good food, cold beer, and more than one guy told me, "Don't tell me anything about the NFL draft because I'm taping it at home." I was even lucky enough to have the Vikings trade up and make their second-round pick just as I was arriving at the party on Saturday night. I like to think that head coach Brad Childress was thinking of me when they made that trade. I owe you one, Chilly.
