-Dot Net Members are listening to the 95-minute recap of WWE's "The Bash" pay-per-view that I recorded with Rich Twilling, who attended the show, late last night. You can gain access to all Dot Net Audio, the Member's Forum, and the ad-free version of the website for only $5 per month by visiting the Dot Net Members' Signup Page.
-WWE Raw takes place tonight in San Jose, Calif. at the HIP Pavilion. The advertised main event is John Cena and Triple H vs. Randy Orton and Big Show. It's likely a dark match since the company has not advertised said match on their website.
-WWE will also be taping next week's Raw tonight in San Jose, as the company will embark on an overseas tour that kicks off in New Zealand on Nov. 3. We are looking for correspondents who can provide details from tonight's taping regarding next week's taping and the dark matches. If you can help, please contact me immediately at dotnetjason@gmail.com.
-It will be very interesting to see how this week's Raw performs in the ratings. After all, there are no gimmicks or wrestlers from other brands advertised for this show, unlike the two previous weeks when all hands were on deck for the three-hour Raw, and then Donald Trump was advertised for the commercial-free show last week. I will be covering the show live tonight as it airs, so you are encouraged to watch along with me.
-Rich Twilling attended last night's "The Bash" pay-per-view in Sacramento and noted that while there were plenty of empty seats during the dark match (R-Truth defeated Shelton Benjamin), the seats filled up quickly and the event was either sold out or close to it.

-Former TNA referee and wrestler Shane Sewell reportedly worked as a referee at a recent Florida Championship Wrestling event last week. He was not renewed by TNA and noted at the time that he was going back to Puerto Rico, where he's worked for years.
-Jimmy Snuka and Cody Deaner are scheduled to appear at the Aug. 15 Pro Wrestling Xtreme event in Tillsonburg, Ontario. For more information on the show, visit ProWrestlingXtreme.com. [Thanks to Devin Cutting of ProwrestlingEvents.tk.]
-The following matches are listed for this afternoon's AWA on ESPN Classic show at 2:00 p.m. CT: Fargo vs. Hennig, Boris Zhukov vs. Patterson, Midnight Rockers in action, Ali Khan vs. Brad Rheingans. There is also a 10 p.m. airing, but no matches are listed for the second show so it might be a replay.
