There is a Saturday Night’s Main Event scheduled for December 20 from 9 to 10 p.m. on NBC.
Selling last night's angle, Undertaker's profile has already been removed from the Smackdown Superstars page on WWE.com.
Friday's Smackdown did a 2.2 fast national number, which is lower than usual. We should have the final number in the next day or two.
Carol sent word that a Batista vs. Edge dark main event is being advertised for tomorrow's Smackdown taping at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
For what it's worth, the word going around is that Batista will take on Edge at the Night of Champions PPV later this month.
Tom Mehs sent this item. ... I went to the Pre Wrestling Hall of Fame inductions in Amsterdam, NY last weekend. It was a blast. All wrestlers were personable and friendly. Tony Atlas is still huge! Paul Orndorff, Lou Albano, Superstar Billy Graham, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, Dick Wuerhle, Destroyer Dick Beyer, Baron Mikel Scicluna, Mae Young, George “the Animal” Steele and many others were there. The induction dinner was a lot of fun. Beyer told a great story about teaming with Bobo Brazil in Japan. He had told him to eat the flowers given to them to get heel heat. When he did so before a big match against Baba and Tsurata, Brazil bit the flowers only to find a bee in them that stung his mouth. It caused all participants to crack up before the match. I definitely recommend this place/event to you or one of the other crew. It is just outside Albany, NY. I also want to mention that Steele said he has been contacted to appear at the next TNA PPV to be involved in the Lethal/SoCal Val wedding. He accepted initially, but is not sure if he will go or not.
Our old buddy Frank Wilson sent this item. ... ECW Originals Sandman and Jasmin St. Claire, as well as WWE Hall of Famer Captain Lou Albano are scheduled to appear at the Big Apple Comic Book, Art, Toy & Sci-Fi Expo's Summer Sizzler Convention next weekend, June 7th & 8th, at the Penn Plaza Pavilion directly across from Madison Square Garden. In terms of Captain Lou, the Going.com events listing site is describing this as "possibly his last convention appearance" (SOURCE: newyork.going.com/bigapplecon). Albano had survived a heart attack in May 2005 (per Mike Johnson's report for PWInsider.com on 5/12/2005) and will turn 75 on July 29th (SOURCE: wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Albano).
