— Matthew Pringle sent this one in: There are local spots running for the live WWE RAW event this Saturday in Wheeling of a Last Man Standing match between Jericho and Punk. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Punk going to be at SmackDown events this weekend?

For those not familiar with the show, it’s pretty much what the title implies. Celebrities tell of an account that happened to them that is supposed to be a real life ghost story. Just wanted to pass it on.

— sfcruz sent this one in: Hi everyone! As we know, WWE has used Metallica’s song “For Whom…” for Triple H´s entrance vs. The Undertaker at Wrestlemania and at this year´s Wrestlemania. Some recent promos for Undertaker used Metallica´s song “Memory Remains.” There was hope for us fans of WWE and Metallica to see the boys play, but as a rumor, it never happened… I have sad news for you guys… The HUGE RUMOR running around that finally Metallica will play this year at Summerslam WILL NOT HAPPEN. Why? SUMMERSLAM will be in California´s own Staples Center on August 19th… show is scheduled to start at around 5pm that Sunday. If Metallica is to play at the event, they need to verify many things before even doing a sound check… PLUS on August 18th they have the second Edmonton Concert… So to fly that next morning to California, set up, and finally play later on that night (cause probably the Triple H vs. Lesnar match will certainly be the last one on the show) would be one heck of an achievement! PLUS 2… Metallica NEVER play 3 gigs in a row… Hats off TO EVERYONE if it happens!!! If it doesn´t, well… there´s always Wrestlemania 29.
