Matt sent the following....Just a quick note that the tallest of the Jurors last night in the Little People's Court and the subsequent attack on "Jeri-show" was Robbie "The Giant" Araujo who is part of the New England Championship Wrestling roster as "Mr. Mini-roe". This was his first time working with the WWE.

Jeff Everett sent the following....www.ACVClub.com listed WWE the Music Volume 9 as part of their "least essential albums" of 2000, writing, "What could be less necessary than an album of wrestlers singing? How about a collection of wrestlers' walk-on music? Yet Voices is the ninthcollection of themes written by WWE house composer Jim Johnston. A league veteran since the 1980s, Johnston has a way with generating crowd-pumping bangers that sound great against the roar of an audience in the 30 seconds or so needed for the WWE�s slabs of beef to reach the ring. But as an album, Voices offers little but one clangy, repetitive ProTools anthem after another. Even Dice Raw and Punjabi MC do little to break up the grind. It's the perfect soundtrack to accompany kids injuring themselves while bodyslamming off the couch, but little else."
