Double ECW/SD! Taping In May, Diva News, Santino, & More

Devin Cutting sent this in: WWE will be holding two Smackdown/ECW house shows on May 4th, 2008. The first takes place in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada at 1 PM and the second takes place in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada at 7:30 PM.

Canadian-based wrestling website SLAM! Wrestling had a chance to catch up with Raw star Santino Marella at the WWE Fan Axxess tour held at a Toronto-area mall on Saturday. Regarding his wrestling influences, Marella said, "Wrestlers like The Dynamite Kid, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Bret and Owen Hart influenced me; I think you can see the pattern there. Those guys were around my height and helped inspire me to believe I could make it like they did. Because the stories of guys starving, guys sleeping in cars, it's a very real thing." In the article, he also talks about his lengthy athletic background, Maria, and reveals his height, which is 5-10 (WWE doesn't list his height on their website or promotional program).
