WWE Raw in Australia this week, TNA and Bellator note, Dot Net Audio, WWE NXT events featuring a WWE Hall of Famer, Cody Rhodes, and Damien Sandow, Kizarny note

By Jason Powell

-The WWE Raw crew is Australia for a live event tour that begins Thursday night in Brisbaine, continues Friday with a stop in Sydney, and concludes on Saturday with a show in Melbourne, Australia. We are looking for correspondents for all three events. If you are going to one of those shows and want to help, contact me at dotnetjason@gmail.com.

-The advertised talent pool for the WWE Raw tour of Australia includes John Cena, C.M. Punk, Big Show, The Miz, Daniel Bryan, Tensai, Kofi Kingston, R-Truth, Santino Marella, A.J. Lee, and Layla.

-The Bellator Fighting Championships promotion will be holding a media event on Thursday at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla. from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET. King Mo Lawal, who is under contract to Bellator and TNA, is one of several fighters who is scheduled to appear. Given the timing and location, one has to wonder whether King Mo and/or other fighters will appear on Impact Wrestling given that the Impact Zone is in Orlando. Of course, nothing is official on that front.

-Dot Net Members will be listening to the Dot Net Countdown show with Will Pruett and Jake Barnett later today, assuming Will can pry himself away from the new Madden '13 video game. The show includes Will and Jake counting down the best and worst moments of the week, and one can only assume some notes on the Madden game this week.

As always, we are looking for correspondents for the NXT events. For more information on upcoming NXT events, visit NXTwrestling.com. [Thanks to Devin Cutting of ProwrestlingEvents.tk.]
