6/11/2011- Lull period for the WWE and UFC, Bad week for the Yankees, Average week for the Mets

Alright then, I'm back after an unannouced hiatus that I took for a while. Please forgive me if I don't update WWE and UFC that often as its the summer season and both the industries of professional wrestling and mixed martial arts are going through a "lull period" means that during the summer season, ratings for Raw, SmackDown will likely to be lower and the PPV buyrates for both the WWE and UFC will be lower as well since fans will most likely be going out on vacation instead of watching PPVs. I will update more as WWE will start promoting SummerSlam though.

UFC is having a pay-per-view tonight called UFC 131 as Shane Carwin vs Junior Dos Santos will be the main event. As I mentioned before, Brock Lesnar was originally scheduled to fight but since he will be out of action for the remainder of the year, Shane Carwin took his place. There will be a total of 12 fights in this PPV. 5 will be aired on Facebook (and for the first time YouTube), 2 will air on Spike, while the remainder will air on PPV. If you are interested in watching the preliminaries, you can go to Facebook.com/UFC or YouTube.com/UFC. In my opinion, I believe that its a great idea to have the preliminaries scheduled to air online on YouTube because when I attempted to watch a UFC fight on Facebook in the past, my computer froze up and I had to restart it. I had no problem watching live events on YouTube before.

By the way, WWE Tough Enough has aired it's season finale, and the winner of Tough Enough is Andy Leavine. Congratulations to Andy Leavine on winning Tough Enough and for having a baby boy the same week. Part of the episode was taped while the last segment was live.

After the Yankees returned home from their West Coast tour, the Boston Red Sox treated them like living hell as the Yankees lost 3 games in a row. But then, the Red Sox are always the enemy to the Yankees. The Mets overall had an average week as they won 2 games out of 3 during their time in Milwaukee. The Yankees managed to recover yesterday as they defeated Cleveland in a blow out, while the Mets defeated Pittsburgh yesterday as well.

Next week will be a three hour WWE Raw as both superstars from Raw and SmackDown will come together for "All Star Night". Stone Cold Steve Austin will be the special guest general manager for the night.
