-WrestleMania 29 week begins today with WWE Raw in Washington, D.C. at Verizon Center. It's all hands on deck for the go-home show, as The Rock, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and Triple H are all advertised. WWE needs a home run tonight after delivering two poor editions of Raw and then a ho-hum show last week. Join me for live coverage tonight beginning at 7:00 p.m. CT.

-We are looking for correspondents for tonight's WWE Raw event. If you are going to the show and want to help, contact me right away at dotnetjason@gmail.com.
