Here's what even morer people are saying about Andyville

I'm fine. I've just been somewhat busy this summer. If the Panda had killed me, nothing would get published here.

Especially with the liver enzymes issues that changed the whole card on the Bash, Smackdown! is weak, and an old school ECW show in its place would be a welcome sight. However, as you've probably seen, they have elected to go with a watered down ECW instead. Would you still swap that with Smackdown!? Also, I totally remember hearing them call Umaga the 'Samoan Smashing Machine'. They should have kept it. The Spirit Squad sucks, but they weren't on RAW last week, and I heard something about WWE breaking them up. Have you heard that?"

This may be the most coherent, well spoken reader mail we have ever recieved. I have no idea how to pronounce your id, but you can actually spell and create full sentences. This is a very welcome change indeed.
Hmm, WWECW swap with Smackdown? The interesting part of this is that ECW is drawing near Smackdown ratings at 9PM (CDT) on SciFi. So, one could rationalize that with the wider available audience of Smackdown's timeslot/network combination, that ECW could flourish, and post better ratings than Smackdown. There's really no way to prove this short of WWE actually doing it, and they won't. So, I think I'll just hold out for them to give Paul E. more creative control of ECW, and leave it at that.
I loved them saying "The Samoan Smashing Machine," and agree that they should have kept that. The reasoning that I can see them using for not keeping it is that they were afraid one of the announcers might slip one night and say "Samoan Submission Machine," leaving them in an awkward position.
I too have heard that WWE is breaking up the Spirit Squad, citing crowd reactions (the apathy, I assume). Firstly, what did they expect? Secondly, WWE pays attention to crowd reactions? I'm getting off track here. As an ode to the eventual breakup of the Spirit Squad, here are a few more chants that the crowd can do better than the Squad can do a scripted promo:
• "You take steroids"
• "You can't wrestle"
• "You both suck"
• "Change the channel"
Bye Spirit Squad, thanks for comin'! Have fun in Louisville.

Does anybody know what the hell this says? I don't speak Tard.

Cray replies:
I have a blog at MySpace as well, and if I feel some posts have wide enough appeal, then I may republish some of that content here the way Ninja Andy has. If you want to just look at what's there already, the blog is linked to my MySpace profile, which is big_cray. I may soon have another blog separate from MySpace. Also, there has been some thought about having an official Andyville blog. Just keep reading Andyville for updates.

That's it for today. Keep the mail coming. Each writer's respective address is on the page with their article listings. Thanks for reading.
