Before we begin, AngryMarks Podcast Network would like to announce that our shows will now be replayed daily on GoFightLive Radio at 3:00 PM ET. We are happy to be a part of the GFL family of radio shows and look forward to the many new listeners who will be exposed to the fastest-growing and top-ranked network in Internet podcastery!

In addition, AngryMarks.com will be promoting the ECWA 15th Anniversary Super 8 Tournament, which will debut on GFL iPPV on Saturday, April 30th at 3:45 PM ET. The tournament frequently hosts not only the top talent in indie wrestling, but some of its fastest-rising superstars. The show is only $14.99, support great indie wrestling and support AngryMarks.com by ordering the show today! Later this week we will be announcing details on a special contest for AngryMarks.com subscribers of our RSS feed and Facebook page, so sign up and stay tuned for this special announcement!

We have more new shows for you to watch on AngryMarks TV today, including a new episode of Last Call with Scott Hall and Insane Championship Wrestling. And we have yet ANOTHER BONUS ANGRYMARKS PODCAST with Stevie J & Ed in San Antonio, covering the fallout from WrestleMania XXVII.

Coming out of Sunday night's WrestleMania XXVII, there's not a lot of major news to report.

  • If you missed the PPV, Killa Kev has a full recap of WrestleMania XXVII from start to finish.
  • WWE sent out a press release touting that the show broke the Georgia Dome's all-time attendance record of 71,617, and the live gate record at $6.6 million. The previous attendance record was 65,658, set by The Backstreet Boys on February 19, 2000. The previous live gate attendance record was $5.7 million, set by U2 on October 6, 2009. CORRECTION: Billboard.com reported in 2009 that the Backstreet Boys concert actually drew 73,337 in attendance. Apparently Vince McMahon is fudging the numbers.
  • There are no injuries to report on coming out of the show.
  • The Roman Soldiers who were surrounding Triple H during his entrance were workers from FCW, all of whom were ordered to hide their faces behind tehir shields so they could not be identified. CORRECTION: the soldiers are now indentified as Lane Vasser, Wes Grissom, JT Talent, Chrisjen Hayme, Jessco Blue, Shaun Tempers, Matt Boyce, Lani Kealoha, Jacob Ashworth, and Andrew Alexander, most of whom work for regional promotion NWA Anarchy.
  • Comcast Cable subscribers had issues ordering the PPV, a glitch in the system prevented them from ordering via their set-top boxes and were instructed to call in to order. There was a 20-30 minute wait, but the glitches seemed to have been cleared up shortly after the show started.
  • WWE has posted several interviews with some of the participants in WrestleMania 27 after the show last night.
  • This year's WrestleMania was the first where the Royal Rumble winner's title shot comes in the opening match instead of the main event. It is also only the second time that a heel has ever won the main event and left as the champion.

After spending twelve hours over three days recapping more wrestling and mixed martial arts than any sane, solitary person should, Killa Kev FINALLY has the recap for ROH Honor Takes Center Stage Night 2 completed! Another great night of action which sees a hard-hitting main event between the American Wolves and Wrestling's Gretest Tag Team, a shocking turn of events for ROH Television Champion Christopher Daniels, and Davey Richards being offered an opportunity of a lifetime... but will he take it? Gotta read the recap to find out!

And yet, not to be outdone, we also have results from Sunday afternoon's Dragon Gate USA "Open the Ultimate Gate" PPV taping. More action from Ronin and Blood Warriors, the debut of the NWA World Tag Team Champions, the Dark City Fight Club, the final match of Austin Aries, and both the Open the Freedom Gate and Open the United Gate titles were put on the line.

Tonight at 8:00 PM ET will be the final broadcast of ROH on HDNet. The entire hour will be taken up by one match: Davey Richards, Mark & Jay Briscoe vs. Roderick Strong, Claudio Castignoli & Chris Hero.

If ROH isn't your thing (and, it should be, it's just that damn good!) then USA is stacking up four hours of sports entertainment as the alternative. A short broadcast of the 2011 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony, with the induction of Shawn Michaels, will air at 8:00 PM ET. From 9:00-11:00 PM will be Monday Night Raw and the fall-out from WrestleMania 27, and then from 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM will be the debut of Tough Enough, featuring "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Booker T and Trish Stratus as they train the newest crop of professional wrestling  ENTERTAINMENT stars looking to break into the top of the business.

Or, if that's not your style at all, GoFightLive is offering two amateur MMA events to satisfy your thirst! First is Asylum Fight League XXXIV from the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, NJ on March 26th. The second is Absolute Action MMA XII from Frankfort, KY on April 2nd. Watch these new and rising talents in the world of MMA begin their trek to fame.

UPDATE 2:00 PM ET:  Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson announced on Twitter that he will have "a special announcement" on Raw tonight. Johnson is also scheduled for NBC's The Tonight Show on Tuesday night. Tonight will also be the debut for Sin Cara, f/k/a lucha libre star Mystico.

Jim Ross posted on his Twitter account, "Still celebrating my 1 off appearence @ wm27. Loved worked w/ @jerrylawler again. Not plans @ this time 2 reunite. Happy 2 b on the team."

In Strikeforce news, Mike Kyle's replacement against Gegard Mousasi on April 9th will be "the Dean of Mean" Keith Jardine. Kyle broke his hand last week during training.

UPDATE 2:45 PM ET: In Bellator new, the company just announced that Bellator Heavyweight champion Cole "the Polar Bear" Konrad (7-0-0) will take on veteran fighter Paul Buentello (19-13-0) in a non-title super fight at Bellator Fighting Championship 42 on Saturday, April 23rd on MTV2 at 9:00 PM ET.

Friend of the AngryMarks Podcast Network Paul Lazenby just announced on The Fight Show w/ Arda Ocal that he will be the stunt double for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's next movie project, Recoil, currently in production.

GoFightLive sent us a press release for this Saturday's RingSide 10 MMA iPPV, featuring UFC veterans Patrick "the Predator" Cote and Kalib Starnes facing each other in the main event. You can buy this iPPV through AngryMarks.com for just $9.99.
