**The WWE is on their European tour currently with the ‘Raw' crew in Newcastle, England today and the ‘Smackdown' and ECW crews in Brussels, Belgium today.

**Sunday night on The LAW we will be getting you set for Ring of Honor's return to Canada next weekend as we will be joined by ROH owner Cary Silken and will also be giving away 4 pairs of tickets to the ROH show in Mississauga next weekend. In addition Dave Meltzer of the ‘Wrestling Observer Newsletter' will join us as always for the latest on Hulk Hogan and much more. Tune in Sunday night at 11pm EST on Sirius 98 Hardcore Sports Radio.

**The WWE has alerted a number of cable companies that they will be scaling back to 13 pay per view events in 2010 but in order to compensate for the one show they are dropping, they are planning to increase the price of pay per views to $44.95 per show. If you figure that the company is dropping their least successful show of the year (theoretically), which for 2009 would be the ‘Breaking Point' event at 169,000 buys, that would like mean in the neighborhood of $1.9 million in revenue for the WWE when you take into account that the WWE gets roughly a 53/47 split with the PPV companies as well the 169,000 figure is a worldwide figure of which about 35% are paying less than the $39.95 price tag that the domestic audience is paying. I would assume that anyone willing to spend $40 on the ‘Breaking Point' or ‘Bragging Rights' level shows are not going to be deterred by a $5 increase, however every fan does have their own breaking point (pardon the pun) and eclipsing the $40 mark may be it for some people especially when you take into consideration that the die hard fans are also paying an extra $5 a month now for TNA pay per views, which have increased from $29.95 to $34.95.

**'WrestleMania 26' will be priced at $54.95 next year.
