-The WWE Unforgiven show takes place Sunday night on pay-per-view. I'll be covering the show live and recording a podcast after the show, so feel free to watch along with me or just check the site for results if you're busy watching the Colts vs. Bears game.
-Dot Net Members received an early edition of the Friday Q&A audio in which I answer member questions on a wide variety of topics. I'll be posting a preview of the WWE Unforgiven pay-per-view audio update later today, and a recap of the show on Sunday night. There will be a short recap of the pay-per-view on Sunday for the ad-based users of the site, and the Dot Net Members will get the extended version with somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes of extra coverage. You can become a member for only $5 per month by visiting the Dot Net Members' Signup Page.
-WWE is holding a pair of Supershow events this weekend. The first show is tonight in Rochester, N.Y. and the second show is Saturday in Jamestown, N.Y. The company has yet to advertise any matches for these events.
-TNA is running three shows in New York this weekend. They're finally shaking up the house show lineups rather than running the same lineup at all three venues. The first night in Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle, Team 3D vs. Abyss and Rhino, Christian Cage vs. Booker T.
Announced matches for Saturday night in Manhattan feature Samoa Joe vs. Booker T vs. Kurt Angle vs. Christian Cage in a four-way for the TNA Title, Beer Money Inc. vs. Team 3D for the TNA Tag Titles, Petey Williams vs. Consequences Creed.
Announces matches for Sunday in Albany, N.Y. feature Samoa Joe vs. Booker T for the TNA Title, Petey Williams and Jay Lethal vs. Sonjay Dutt and Consequences Creed, Kurt Angle vs. Christian Cage.
-Dot Net reader who did not include his name sent the following notes regarding the WWE radio advertising that is taking place in Cleveland, which is the site of Sunday's Unforgiven pay-per-view. "WENZ 107.9 has been airing two different ads for the show and in one of them there is no mention of CM Punk while hyping "the long awaited return of the Undertaker." Taker returned at the last PPV and how could you not mention the World Champ?
The second add plugs "WWE Champion Triple H" while CM Punk was mentioned but not as a title holder and, again, the Undertaker plug was odd as it said "be there live to witness the long awaited return of an icon" while cryptic music played and the big church bell rang. On 96.5 KISS FM the ad runs down seemingly every single participant scheduled other than Shawn Michaels. Most of the divas were mentioned by name, Tony Atlas was mentioned by name but no Shawn Michaels.
-The AWA show on ESPN Classic is preempted tonight. It will return to its normal time slot on Monday night.
