Eugene/WWE Update, RAW Rating Note, Foley, & More
? There is a good chance that this week's WWE Raw rating will be hurt by the Home Run Derby. In the past, Raw usually suffers when it goes up against the Home Run Derby. The rating will be out later today around 6EST, give or take a few hours.
? Mick Foley is scheduled to be performing a stand-up comedy routine on August 22nd at the Hollywood Improv in California.
? As noted last night here on the site, Nick Dinsmore, previously known as Eugene in WWE, has signed a contract with WWE. Dinsmore was contracted to WWE in 2004 and was released on September 1, 2007. WWE want Dinsmore to help groom young talent. He'll likely make appearances here and there as well but nothing full-time right now. I'd assume they'll have him backstage in an agent/producer role on ECW/SmackDown!.
? WWE returns to the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida on October 19th, 2009. Tickets go on sale August 15th, 2009 at 10 AM. (Thanks to Devin Cutting)
