Former WWE diva Amy "Lita" Dumas' band, "The Luchagors" will be performing live tonight in Birmingham, Alabama along with "The Dollyrots" at The Nick, which is located at 2514 10th. Avenue South.

WWE brought in Latino wrestling star Dos Caras Jr. at the Tulsa, Oklahoma show on July 1st, to check out his work and see about the possibility of bringing him into the fold. Caras Jr., who has also fought in mixed-martial arts competition for the now defunct PRIDE Fighting Championships operation out of Japan (now owned by Zuffa, the parent company of the UFC), is being talked about as a possible new signee to replace Rey Mysterio Jr. on the SmackDown! side, as the new Hispanic standout for the brand. One of several positive attributes for Caras Jr., is that he speaks fluent English. This should help him from getting thrown into one of the grab-bag prejudice roles we've seen past Hispanic stars stuck with in the past.

Despite reports to the contrary, the show that featured the return of The Ultimate Warrior was not a sell out. The show, which was held on June 25th in Barcelona, Spain, drew approximately 12,000 fans in a 14,500 seat arena.
