These packages will be available until September 18, or until sold out.

My guess is that regular ticket purchases will not be available until after the September 18 date, but I will be sure to spread the word when I hear about it.

10. Mickey Rourke – The Jericho rivalry had a pretty weak finish at Wrestlemania. I know this is because he had signed on for Iron Man 2 and therefore couldn’t take part in the action as much as we all wanted to see. I am still holding out hope that one day he can afford to do a Ram Jam in a WWE ring.

9. Warren Sapp – Really, this could be replaced with any retired NFL’er. I picked Sapp because he’s a big goofy guy, and he might be able to pull off some backstage skits similar to what I expect to see from Shaq this Monday.

8. Scott Stapp – No good reason, other than the fact that I’d love to see Roddy Piper punch this tool in the face.

7. William Shatner – Captain Kirk had an appearance on Raw in the 90′s to promote a short lived sci-fi show on USA Network, called TekWar. I’d like to see him take to the ring and throw a famous Star Trek style left hook at Cody Rhodes. I’d also really like to see Cody Rhodes oversell the move like crazy. It’d be a hilarious YouTube clip, if I’ve ever seen one.

6. Mike Tyson – Hot off the heels of The Hangover, Iron Mike should keep his momentum going by hosting Raw for a night. Now that he’s in position to become a likable character, I could see Tyson knocking out Big Show to close out the episode.

5. Barack Obama – Coming in with a new piece of legislation called the Raw Stimulus Package, Obama would showcase the underprivileged class of the WWE. A ladder match would be held in the main event, showcasing the likes of THE Brian Kendrick, Evan Bourne, Shelton Benjamin, Zack Ryder, and Tyson Kidd. While we’re at it, Kofi Kingston gets put into the match, and his Intercontinental Championship gets hung over the ring. PPV caliber stuff right there. If it doesn’t happen, I could see it as next year’s Money In The Bank.

4. Mr. T – He’s got comedy down, as anyone who has seen him on Conan O’Brien’s show will be able to attest. And he’s got history with the WWE – taking part in the first ever Wrestlemania alongside Hulk Hogan. So.. why not?

3. Hulk Hogan – Speaking of The Hulkster, it’s been a little while since he made a WWE appearance. We last saw him in a rivalry with Randy Orton, after Orton made some moves on his Amazonian daughter. Sorry Hulk, I didn’t really mean that. She’s a lovely girl. Anyway, it could make for a fun night of The Legacy getting their asses handed to them as Hogan gets creative with match ups.

2. The Rock – Sorry, I mean Dwayne Johnson. That’s what he’s calling himself these days, if I’m not mistaken. I’d just love to see him in the ring again, even if he’s not been competing. Hell, I’d just be happy if he belts out a rendition of ‘Smackdown Hotel’ to the tune of Elvis’s ‘Heartbreak Hotel’.

1. Stone Cold – Who doesn’t want to see Stone Cold on WWE programming in some way, shape, or form? An overabundance of beers and middle fingers would be a nice change of pace to the increasingly family friendly programming. I have nothing against the family friendly angle they have taken, but a little bit of the Attitude Era can’t hurt every now and then.

Other notables:
Jesse Ventura, Brock Lesnar, Hugh Hefner

We all know that SNL has become a great platform for celebrities and sports figures to take on whenever they have something to promote or want to heighten their media exposure. But what about the downtime, when SNL isn’t filming new episodes?

Vince McMahon has stepped up to the plate to fill that void. He began a few weeks ago with Donald Trump, by “selling” the show to him. Of course, he immediately “bought” it back (for twice the cost – you can’t beat Trump when it comes to money).

He later declared that Trump had made some contractual changes to the way Raw is run, by mandating celebrity guest hosts every week. So far, Seth Green and ZZ Top have taken the helm, to much success.

It was announced earlier this week that Shaq will host next Monday. Perhaps Carlito will exact some revenge on the big man from a chair shot delivered to him while Shaq was a member of the Heat. Or maybe they’ll just do their best to forget it ever happened, as it was most definitely one of the weakest chair shots ever given.

Within the past hour or so, WWE broke the news on twitter (@WWEUniverse) that Jeremy Piven, who plays asshole agent with a heart Ari Gold on Entourage, will be hosting the week after Shaq. Things just keep getting better…

Ratings are up and people are enjoying the shows. Even WWE stock is up compared to where it stood in May. WWE stock prices have historically fallen in the post-Wrestlemania downtime of the summer season. All is well in the world of professional wrestling. Vince triumphs again.

The fact that he’s on the cover of the latest Muscle and Fitness is a good sign that he may come out victorious at Night of Champions. I’d place my money on him, at least.

you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’re well aware that twitter is the latest craze to take over our internet lives. It stretches to all aspects of our lives – even the world of professional wrestling.

That being said, I’d like to do a wrap up every so often of the most entertaining or interesting tweets by our favorite personalities.

Jeff Hardy shows how truly frustrated he was after losing the belt to CM Punk on the night of The Bash. Kinda sounds like Eeyore:

Eve had some fun at the beach:

Maryse and The Miz dance around each other, even online:

And finally, Jericho and The Miz begin to prove that they really get how entertaining Twitter can be. I got a little bit of insight from this, as they are clearly close enough friends to rag on each other so much. With that, perhaps The Miz didn’t straight up steal his Cena angle from Jericho’s Goldberg angle – maybe Jericho coached him along. Just thinking as an outsider:

Jeff’s brother, Matt, on the other hand… Well, just take a look at his twitter page and try to stay awake. It’s kinda like his singles pro wrestling career:
