ECW Taped Before RAW Next Week, Iron Sheik Book Coming

WWE will have a slightly different taping schedule over the next few weeks. This Monday, they will tape ECW prior to RAW. Then, on Tuesday, they will tape ECW for the following week (9/2) prior to taping Smackdown. And on 8/31 (a Sunday), they will tape both RAW and Smackdown from St. Louis, meaning the 9/1 RAW will not be live.

WWE has plans to release an autobiography on WWE Hall of Fame Iron Sheik under the Simon & Schuster banner. Keith Elliot Greenberg has signed on to help Sheik put the book together.

Amazon.com recently sent out an e-mail to their customers informing them to pre-order a Randy Savage DVD from WWE. However, Vince McMahon actually cancelled the project after he found about it late last year and Amazon.com apparently weren't informed. Plans for the DVD were made without McMahon's approval as he quickly put the kibosh on it. Amazon.com still has a product page for the nixed DVD, which you can see at Amazon.com. It was tapped to be a nine-hour three-disc DVD set entitled Randy Savage: Macho Madness scheduled for release on November 18, 2008. In its place, WWE decided to release another DVD set on Eddie Guerrero, which is scheduled to be released on November 11.
