WWE News: Kristal Marshall discusses departure from WWE, Ross contract, Flair, ratings Nov 21, 2007 - 12:22:01 AM
- Kristal Marshall wrote on her official website regarding her recent release from WWE. Presumably regarding the Teddy Long marriage storyline, Kristal said, "I did not want to do a morally degrading storyline that was already done, plain and simple." She then detailed how Lita was transformed into a "slutty vamp" character, which she did not want to become on TV. Kristal acknowledged talk within WWE of her having a huge ego now that she's out of the company. She called that "b.s. talk" and said that is not the case.
- Last week's Raw from November 12 finished in eighth place for the second hour and twelfth place for the first hour. The show averaged 5 million viewers over the course of the two hours.
- Jim Ross details his current contract status with WWE in his latest blog on jrsbarbq.com. "The WWE and I are negotiating for a new multi year contract," he said. Ross continued that his contract has not lapsed, and there is no truth to reports that he has been working without a contract the past few weeks.
- WWE is running a house show in Seoul, South Korea on February 18 as part of the post-Royal Rumble tour. The Korea Times has a report that the show will be at the 30,000-seat Jamsil Stadium in Seoul. WWE's website lists the show at the 13,000-seat Chamsil Gymnasium. Tickets go on sale December 6.
- In Canada, WWE's latest video game release is the top five most rented video game at Blockbuster for the period ending November 18. Call of Duty 4, which sponsors the Armageddon PPV, is one spot ahead at number four.
