As part of the celebration of current WWE gold-bearers, champions of the past are present in Houston for tonight's Vengeance pay-per-view. Magnum T.A., Harley Race and Rick Martel are currently backstage. They are doing a theme where veterans will be doing cameos on the show talking about winning championships for the Night of Champions theme. Many others who are retired and under WWE contract will also be appearing in that role. WWE.com has a photo of Rick Martel meeting up with his former tag team partner Tony Garea.
In addition to the legends appearing in some segments tonight, two legends are scheduled to compete at the pay-per-view. At last word, the plan was for Sgt. Slaughter & Jimmy Snuka to be Deuce & Domino's opponents. This hasn't been 100% confirmed, but this is the expected match-up.
Mike McGuirk, the precursor to Lilian Garcia, made a surprise appearance at last night's Raw brand house in College Station, TX. Maria brought her to ringside to be the guest ring announcer for a match between Cade & Murdoch and London & Kendrick. McGuirk was the first female ring announcer in WWE history. She was a ring announcer for WWE from 1988 to 1993. This was her first appearance in a wrestling setting since '93.
