-WWE Raw takes place tonight in Bakersfield, Calif. The WWE website is still advertising the ECW tapings on Smackdown events, but the plug has been pulled on Heat already, so it's only a matter of time before the ECW show is taped on Monday nights. No matches have been announced for tonight's show. Look for an update on Randy Orton's status (he told the referee that he broke his collarbone during the match against Triple H last night), and Vince McMahon will reveal more details about his million dollar giveaway.

-By the way, Vince stated last night during the pay-per-view that he'll be giving away one million dollars each week on Raw.

-Former Diva Torrie Wilson is among the WWE talent scheduled to appear on the Boise house show on June 14, according to IdahoStatesman.com. However, she is not listed on the WWE.com preview for the show.

-MVP attended Saturday night's EliteXC fight in Newark, according to WrestlingObserver.com.

-Great Khali is still making headlines during his stay in India. "He is our own Rocky Balboa," student Darshan Rewar told the Deccan Herald. The man's sister added: "We want to go backstage and touch him, just once. I want to see the 63-inch chest." I thought she was going somewhere else there for a second. You can read the full story by visiting DeccanHerald.com.

-Thanks again to WrestlingInc.com for including Dot Net in their daily newsfeed. I know many of you discovered Dot Net through WrestlingInc.com, and I'm grateful to Raj Giri for continuing to feature us so prominently.

TNA Impact tapings will start at 5:30 p.m. (ET). The shows previously started at 6:30 p.m. Dot Net reader Devin Cutting forwarded the following taping schedule for the remainder of 2008.

-June 9-10, 23-24

-WWE is returning to the home of the soon-to-be NHL second place finishing Pittsburgh Penguins in August. Sorry, Pens fans. I was rooting for your team, but I lost faith after Saturday night. Anyway, WWE will be in Pittsburgh at Mellon Arena on Aug. 26. Tickets go on sale on June 21. [Thanks to Devin Cutting of ProwrestlingEvents.tk for the last two items.]

-The following matches are being advertised for tonight's AWA on ESPN Classic show: Wahoo McDaniel squash, Badd Company squash, Mando Guerrero squash, Mr. Saito vs. Curt Hennig, John Paul and Ricky Rice and Robert Gibson vs. Manny Fernandez and Ali Khan and Soldat Ustinov. The show was taped on July 1, 1998.
