WWE Raw, Ashley Massaro story, Hulk Hogan's celebrity wrestling, Al Snow, Johnny Devine, Marty Garner

-WWE Raw will be held in Toronto, Ont. tonight. The company has yet to announce any matches, but it's safe to assume they'll be following up William Regal pulling the plug on the Triple H vs. Randy Orton title match last week. The WWE.com preview also teases more with Regal and Mr. Kennedy, as well as JBL and John Cena. Rich Twilling and I will be covering the show live tonight as it airs on the USA Network, so feel free to watch the show along with us.
-There have been no new updates on the story Rolling Stone broke over the weekend regarding Ashley Massaro working for a $25,000 per night escort service that was busted in Los Angeles. Massaro has denied the allegations and there has been online speculation that the author may have confused Massaro with a bikini model who goes by the same name. If so, that's a hell of a mistake to make. You can be certain that Vince McMahon will use this story to go after the media if it turns out to be a case of mistaken identity. Either way, I'll continue to follow this story closely.
-Hulk Hogan's "Celebrity Championship Wrestling" show was featured in a story at Multichannelnews.com. "The CMT audience loves professional wrestling, so a show where superstar Hulk Hogan trains celebrities, gets them into character and into the ring, and really pulls back the curtain on how intense, colorful, and difficult it is to be a champion, is a big win for us and our viewers," Bob Kusbit, CMT's head of Development is quoted as saying.
-By the way, the Multichannelnews.com story noted that the celebrities have yet to be identified. However, Dot Not broke the news regarding the first contestant to sign on and the amount of money the celebrities are being paid. To read that Dot Net Exclusive story, click here.
-Poll results: 60 percent of Dot Net readers say they are more inclined to watch ECW tomorrow night to see where the Mike Adamle and Tazz storyline is headed. 40 percent said the angle did nothing for them. I'm surprised that so many people care about the angle. I suppose it's better than no angle, which is what fans are accustomed to getting from ECW.
-Border City Wrestling's return to Windsor, Ont. after a four-year absence is featured in Slam Wrestling. The show featured Al Snow and Johnny Devine.
-Marty Garner (a/k/a Cham Pain) has taken his campaign to catch on with WWE, TNA and Ring of Honor to a new level by releasing a Youtube video. The longtime friend of Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, and Shannon Moore discusses his career and his "Campaign for Cham Pain" at Youtube.com.
