Very Busy Weekend (ROH/TNA/WWE/MMA/Boxing), Burke **SPOILER**

Elijah Burke (Pope D'Angelo Dinero) is expected to debut in the X Division escape the cage match at Hard Justice. That could change though.

This is a huge weekend with the Strikeforce event for free on Showtime tomorrow night (Gina Carano vs. Cris Cyborg) as well as the Roy Jones Jr. vs. Jeff Lacy boxing PPV. Both events look really good on paper. ROH is also taping their TV's this weekend from Philadelphia. The TNA Hard Justice PPV is Sunday night from Orlando, FL. Monday has the live RAW in St. Louis featuring Freddy Prinze Jr., and a main event of John Cena & Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho & Big Show. TNA is also taping in Orlando and there is a Smackdown house show in Lincoln, NE. Tuesday has Smackdown & ECW taping in Kansas City featuring C.M. Punk & David Hart Smith & Tyson Kidd vs. Matt & Jeff Hardy & John Morrison as the Smackdown main event. There is also a second night of TNA tapings in Orlando.
