UFC PPV Reminder, HHH/Smackdown, WWE & TNA House Show Info

August 8, 2008

Just a reminder that the UFC 87 “Seek and Destroy” PPV will be televised tomorrow night from the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN. The show is being headlined by George St. Pierre vs Jon Fitch for the Welterweight title, however mainstream buzz has been more concerned with Brock Lesnar’s fight against Heath Herring. During last night’s UFC preview for the PPV, the Lesnar/Herring fight was the final fight the broadcast decided to hype.

Triple H will be making an appearance on tonight’s edition of Smackdown taking on The Great Khali in an “Indian Broken Glass Arm Wrestling Contest.” It will be his first appearance on a WWE show since Stephanie McMahon gave birth to their second child.

WWE has a full weekend of house shows. The Raw crew will be in Wildwood, N.J. tonight, in Newark, N.J. on Saturday, and in Salisbury, Md. on Sunday. The Smackdown/ECW crew will be in Syracuse, N.Y. on Saturday and in Binghamton, N.Y. on Sunday.

Styles vs. Kurt Angle, LAX vs. Team 3D, Rhino vs. James Storm, Consequences Creed vs. Sheik Abdul Bashir, Traci Brooks and Roxxi vs. Velvet Sky and Jacqueline, Curry Man vs. Johnny Devine vs. Kaz. The TNA website claims this is one of Kaz’s “last” live events in TNA.

The following matches are listed for tonight’s AWA on ESPN Classic show: The Lumberjacks vs. Burton and Bennett, Texas Hangmen vs. Carlson and Evans, The Trooper vs. Magnum, and Sgt. Slaughter vs. Jonnie Stewart.
