WWE Smackdown/ECW taping (correspondents needed), Edge note, Sherri Martel correction, Hurricane Helms note, Raw edited in Canada, CZW anniversary show, pro wrestling on ESPN Classic's "Cheap Seats" tonight
Feb 9, 2010 - 09:01 AM |
-The WWE Smackdown/ECW tapings take place tonight in Baton Rouge, La. at the Baton Rouge Civic Center. The dark match main event for tonight's show features Undertaker vs. Batista for the World Hvt. Championship. In related news, Edge is among the wrestlers advertised for tonight's show. We are looking for correspondents who are attending tonight's taping. If you can help with a report, please contact me right away at dotnetjason@gmail.com.
-The show was originally scheduled to be held in New Orleans, but was moved because the city is holding a parade for the Super Bowl Champion Saints today. WWE has announced that tickets for the New Orleans show will not be honored at tonight's taping. Rather, they are only good for the May 28 house show. I believe WWE has also offered refunds to fans who can't make the new date.
-Correction: Sherri Martel would have celebrated her 52nd birthday yesterday, not her 58th as I mistakenly wrote in Dot Net Daily on Monday. [Thanks to Dot Net reader Neil Ragone, who is celebrating a birthday of his own today.]
-My condolences to WWE wrestler Hurricane Helms, who acknowledged the death of his grandmother Callie Veatrice Helms on his Twitter page.
-Dot Net readers Adam Lebow and Anthony Shedden report that Monday's Raw was edited on The Score. Anthony wrote: "For whatever reason, The Score skipped a few segments, like the first DX backstage segment following the Christian vs. Sheamus match, where they actually abruptly cut to commercial, and the first half of the Unified Tag Team title match(they showed the Straight Edge Society come out, but when they came back from commercial they went pretty much straight to HBK pinning Punk.
-Combat Zone Wrestling returns to The CZW Arena in Philadelphia with a free afternoon show at 2:30 p.m. ET with the following advertised matches: Sami Callihan vs. Necro Butcher, Azrieal and Bandido Jr. vs. Rich Swann and Ryan McBride, The Spanish Armada vs. Zero Gravity, D.J. Hyde vs. Joe Gacy, A.R. Fox vs. Jonathan Gresham.
-CZW's anniversary show takes place on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. at the same location with the following lineup: B-Boy vs. Jon Moxley for the CZW Title, Drake Younger vs. J.C. Bailey, The Best Around vs. Team Macktion for the CZW Tag Titles, Andy Hamer vs. Aaron Arbo. For more information on both shows, visit CZWrestling.com.
-The Portuguese wrestling website AWP-wrestling.pt.vu features an interview with El Ligero of 1PW and IPW UK. The interview touches on his career, the death of Japanese legend Mitsuharu Misawa, the British wrestling scene, and more. [Thanks to David Pereira]
-There are no AWA or UWF wrestling shows scheduled for ESPN Classic tonight. However, the "Cheap Seats" show at 10:00 p.m. CT will focus on ICW Wrestling.
