-- Hardcore Holly, who has been with WWE for nearly 15 years, is said to be on the chopping block. Holly's no longer being used and may not be brought back this time around. The feeling is that it would take someone such as Undertaker to speak up for Holly to give him another shot in WWE. Vince McMahon is said to be indifferent to Holly in that he's kept him around for so long, but has never really had any plans to push him. Holly was tapped to be in a tag team feuding with Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes, but the feeling is that he wouldn't get the young duo over in the right way. Basically, he'd lose in the end, but make them look bad. Holly has a rep of working very stiff with newcomers and has the old-school mentality that the youngsters have to prove they can survive in the tough profession of professional wrestling. At this point, his only role is to make the newly pushed stars better than they are. Furthermore, Holly did some taped promos before the Cody Rhodes turn, but WWE decided against airing them because they're weren't good enough. Holly turns 46 years old in January.

-- Monday's edition of Raw drew a 3.1 rating, a 10 percent drop from the 3.43 figure scored last week. The first hour rating was quite lackluster as the show drew less than a 3.0 rating -- a 2.98. However, the second hour drew a 3.18 rating to bring the overall rating up. The show was watched by 300,000 less viewers than last week.

-- Apparently by mistake, last week WWE.com had the profile of Super Crazy in both the SmackDown and ECW sections. His profile was eventually deleted from the ECW section, so that makes him a member of the SmackDown roster. As part of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft, Super Crazy was drafted to the ECW brand back in June, but he never debuted on their show. Super Crazy returned to television on SmackDown last week, losing to The Brian Kendrick.
