Kavan Hashemian sent this in: I got my tickets in the mail this week for the upcoming RAW house show on August 1st in Springfield, Illinois. On the tickets it says: "WWE RAW and ECW present The SummerSlam Tour". Just thought this was an interesting note regarding the ECW switch.
Devin Cutting sent this in: Brock Lesnar's UFC debut against Frank Mir is one of the fights on the July 19th/20th edition of the syndicated TV program "UFC Wired".
Note from Ryan Clark: This fight has been shown numerous times on the "UFC Unleashed" program on Spike TV. However, with "Wired" being syndicated there is a better chance more people will see the fight now.
Alex Bryer sent this in: I will be attending the Raw house show at Madison Square Garden on 8/23. Just wanted to pass along the current card for the event as seen on local advertising (note: card could indicate possible spoilers). "World Heavyweight Championship Match" CM Punk vs JBL, "Raw Special Challenge Match" John Cena vs Batista, "Steel Cage Match" Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels, "Intercontinental Championship Match" Kofi Kingston vs Kane, "World Tag Team Championship Match" Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes vs Cryme Tyme.
