Let's hope that this year the woman's match is actually an elimination match and not a "sudden death" match like they've done in the past. It's the Survior Series so make it a fucking elimination match.

Hey John what is that status of Christian? Is he going to re-sign with TNA or is he going back to the WWE? Second when is Edge due back? The sooner the better as Smackdown has been very boring without him.

Security Question: 30 + 30 ?
