Backstage RAW News: The Draft, JR's Mistake, Big Show/ECW

[JohnCenaFan28]

The Big Show will appear on ECW this week. I've heard he's going to be a main-stay there in the coming weeks but we'll have to wait and see.

Jim Ross made a mistake at the beginning of RAW by calling the venue the Pepsi Arena instead of the Pepsi Center. The Pepsi Arena used to be in Albany, NY but they sold the name rights last year so it's now called the Times Union Center. The Pepsi CENTER is where they were last night.

RAW was legitimately sold out this week with a hot crowd in Denver, CO. There were over 16,000 people in the Pepsi Center (That's Pepsi...... CENTER, JR :) ). It's been years since they've ran an event in the state which is surprising to me.

Beth Phoenix vs. Melina in an 'I Quit' match has been added to this Sunday's WWE One Night Stand PPV. Seriously.

As I just reported, the 2008 draft lottery will be in four weeks. The venue is the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.

The Million Dollar RAW fan give-a-away was a last minute decision made prior to the show which is why the details weren't released yet. They'll obviously be working on how to do it later this week after the TV tapings are finished.

RAW was legitimately sold out this weekhmm, that's odd, the "What you didn't see on RAW" report says that it was 90% full.

I guess it was just from two different perspectives...that, or someone didn't bother to turn their head all the way around.

I will be interested to know what kind of competition it will be to give away 1 million lol.

YESSS . . . . I got my tickets to San Antonio's show! I noticed something was up when it said that it would be a 3 hour show. I was thinking the draft would happen and now it is official . . . . nice

Raw actually was a sellout, as it has been every single time they have come here, in fact the last time, they ended up doing two straight days here, Raw and Smackdown (Denver specifically) and sold both of them out. Not only should they be here more often, but maybe they should even think about a pay-per-view as well. This town is crazy like that for anything that even smells like sports.
