Before I start this news update I'd like to again thank wrestling superstar Lance Storm for taking time out of his busy day to join us on the Thursday Night AMP. Please take the time to visit StormWrestling.com and make plans to be in Toronto on July 24th and 25th then go to ROHWrestling.com and get tickets to see Lance in person - this may be your last chance to ever see one of the best wrestlers in the business live.
Here is the updated card for the WWE's The Bash PPV this Sunday. (WWE)
* John Cena vs. The Miz
* NO DQ Match: Dolph Ziggler vs. The Great Khali
* WWE Women's Title Match: Melina {C} vs. Michelle McCool
* IC Title vs. Mask Match: Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio
* Unified Tag Team Title Match: Carlito and Primo Colon {C} vs. Legacy
* ECW Title Scramble Match: Tommy Dreamer {C} vs. Christian vs. Finlay vs. Jack Swagger vs. Mark Henry
* World Title Match: CM Punk {C} vs. Jeff Hardy
* WWE Title Three Stages of Hell Match: Randy Orton {C} vs. Triple H
ECW's rating this Tuesday was actually a 1.05 that got rounded up to a 1.1. (PWI) I guess the monster commercial-free Raw rating didn't help ECW one bit.
The reason that the USA Network has been pushing so hard is because they have been battling TNT to win the second quarter Prime Time ratings battle. Mediaweek has an article up on the battle HERE.
The following matches are scheduled for tonight's edition of Friday Night Smackdown. (WWE)
* R-Truth vs. Shelton Benjamin
* Alicia Fox and Michelle McCool vs. Gail Kim and Melina
* Non-Title: CM Punk {C} vs. John Morrison
* Cage Match: Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio vs. Edge and Chris Jericho
The San Jose Mercury News has an article up on Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr., discussing being second generation wrestlers HERE.
