TNA & WWE News: Wolfe, 'The Pope', NXT, WrestleMania 26 Card
? UPDATED SATURDAY NOTE FROM RYAN CLARK: As a reminder, we've got a BIG night of free fights later tonight. On free HBO, we've got Devon Alexander vs. Juan Urango (WBC/IBF junior welterweight unification). On free Showtime, we've got Vic Darchinyan vs. Rodrigo Guerrero (WBC/WBA junior bantamweight championship). Then also for free on the Versus network for you MMA fans, we've got the WEC event which is headlined by Brian Bowles vs. Dominick Cruz. The card also features Miguel Torres vs. Joseph Benavidez and Jens Pulver vs. Javier Vazquez. That's a good little card for WEC and a GREAT night of fights (and drinking!) as well. Three events head-to-head-to-head with each other tonight. There are no WWE or TNA pay-per-view events this weekend so it's another Sunday night off. We'll still be posting lots of backstage news though so be sure to check in! Have a great rest of the weekend guys and thanks for your continued support of the website. We appreciate it!!

The post has since been removed, but TMZ has confirmed through the Dodge Theatre that the event will be going down. Tickets are supposed to go on sale Monday, March 8th. But the question is, what kind of show will this be? As of now, it is unclear. Either way, go Team Conan!!
