-Steamboat is unable to attend the induction ceremony this weekend due to the WWE's overseas tour.

If you attend the weekend events, please send reports to dotnetjason@gmail.com.

-The WWE Raw crew is in Perth, Western Australia tonight at the Burswood Dome. Meanwhile, the Smackdown crew is at Budokan Hall for the second night of their back-to-back shows in Tokyo. The Raw crew has had an especially grueling schedule, as the Australian shows are far enough apart that they each require a plane trip. If you attend either one of the shows, please send a report to dotnetjason@gmail.com.

-Jim Ross noted in his blog on Monday that the company has been doing huge business on the Australian tour with over $650,000 grossed at the box office for Brisbane, and $550,000 in Adelaide. Ross also noted that he's curious to see how the Japanese dates go given the fact that pro wrestling is not booming in the country these days. You can read that full blog at JRsBarBQ.com.
