John Silva sent this in: Just got an email response from the WWE themselves that the "rerun" of Wrestlemania XXIV on MyNetwork TV for October 2nd will NOT be the full show. I asked them if it would be the full show (which if you think about it would kind of be hard when you factor in that it was a four-hour show) or if it was a highlight show. They have informed me that it will indeed be a highlight show. Here is the email and official response: "It will only be highlights. Thanks for your email."
Devin Cutting sent this in: The Spokane Arena is advertising The Undertaker & Triple H verses The Great Khali & MVP as the main event of the Smackdown & ECW taping in Spokane, Washington on October 7th, 2008. Tickets go on sale September 13th, 2008 at 10 AM.
OSUSNOWMAN sent this in: Colt Toombs, Pipers' son, is making his MMA debut here in Portland at Sportfight 24, kind of cool.
Big James Field sent this in: I just went out and bought the new SoulCaliber 4 game. As I was playing I noticed a strange likeness. The character Brock on the game carries a sledgehammer as a weapon. In one view of using him he has something on his head so that you can't see his face. In the other view he looks like Triple H. Everyone I have showed it to has said the same thing. It's weird but I thought I would pass it along.
