-The WWE Smackdown tapings will be held tonight in Sacramento, California at Sleep Train Arena. The Rock and C.M. Punk are both advertised for tonight's taping so it appears they will continue to hype their Royal Rumble main event on Friday night's television show. I'm not sure why this wasn't emphasized on Raw, where they showed the generic Randy Orton commercial for Smackdown.

-We are looking for correspondents for tonight's WWE Smackdown taping in Sacramento, California, and all of the TNA events that will be held in the UK this week. If you are going to any of those shows and want to help, contact me at dotnetjason@gmail.com.

-The season finale of British Bootcamp will air tonight at at 10 p.m. in the UK on Challenge TV. I ran my reviews of the first three episodes on Monday. I will have my reviews of episodes four and five on the site today.

-Today is the only off day the TNA crew has during it's overseas run. They were in Dublin, Ireland on Monday, and will continue the tour with a show in Glasgow, Scotland on Wednesday.
