Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Bill Goldberg as well as former boxer Sugar Ray Leonard are the celebrity contestants for tonight's taping of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. The episode should be airing soon. An e-mail was sent out saying that it's the last taping of the season and that all tickets are free. The e-mail also said that the show tapes in Hollywood and the minimum age to attend is 12.
As noted earlier here on the site, the official website of ECW star Elijah Burke, TheElijahBurkeExpress.com, was hacked last night. Burke posts blogs on the website, and a blog supposedly written by him claimed he was sideswiped by a car and hospitalized as a result. That is in fact a hoax as Burke is perfectly fine. The hacker then posted a number of racial epithets against Burke. The website was then shut down/put offline to prevent any future issues.
The TV listing for the upcoming WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event show doesn't list any wrestlers, only celebrities. Here is the on-screen cable guide preview for the show: "Jenny McCarthy and other celebrities host an hour of wrestling to raise awareness for children with Autism. Featured: Toby Keith, Jewel, Piers Morgan, Carmen Electra, Billy Ray Cyrus, and the cast of Nashville Star." Video messages from Cyrus and Jewel didn't appear before the crowd at Monday's taping, but they can splice them into the show I suppose. Also, WWE has yet to advertise a single match for Saturday Night's Main Event on the company website or on television.
Last night, Todd Grisham jumped into the open ECW announcer seat next to Tazz, left by new Raw General Manager Mike Adamle. He is now a member of the ECW roster. You can see his bio in the ECW section at WWE.com. And now that Mike Adamle is the General Manager of Raw, he is no longer a commentator on ECW. His profile has been moved to the Raw section.
