**It is being reported that Dos Caras Jr. (the nephew of Mil Mascaras) has signed a 3-year contract with the WWE and will be starting on the main roster imminently. Caras Jr. has been in talks with the WWE for over a year and there were conflicting reports that he has signed last year as well so it's one of those deals where I would be hesitant until he actually shows up on television. One of the major stumbling blocks last year was that the WWE wanted to send him to developmental before being called up and Caras Jr. took that as a slap in the face as someone that has headlined for years with CMLL. Caras Jr. also has a 7-4 record in mixed martial arts with his most high profile fight being a KO loss to Mirko Cro Cop on the inaugural Pride ‘Bushido' event in October 2003 (which for a trivia note was the first Pride event that Mauro Ranallo ever called).
**The WWE sent out a survey
yesterday asking fans what they thought of the following names for a pay per
view event:
*WWE Blackout (wasn't this
the ‘Beware of Dog' event in Florence,
South Carolina in 1996?)
*WWE Annihilation
*WWE Knockout
*WWE Zero Tolerance (that one
would be rather amusing if Randy Orton was headlining)
The company also asked people
about a pay per view event where all the main events would take place inside of
a Hell in a Cell and what would be a good name for the event with the following
options:
*WWE Lock Up (who thinks of
these?)
*WWE Hell in a Cell (does
this not seem like a fairly obvious choice?)
*WWE Rage in a Cage
*WWE No Escape
**A must see edition of TNA's 'Spin Cycle' if you are a fan of Fight Network Radio and our interview last fall with Eric Bischoff.
**Lance Storm will be serving
as a special guest referee on Saturday night in Camrose, Alberta
for the RWF event at the Max McLean Arena. A number of Storm's students from
the Storm Wrestling Academy
will also be working the event.
**Click back Saturday morning for an announcement on a huge edition of The LAW Sunday night.
