- Raw is tonight with the Orton vs. Edge match that was supposedly bumped last week, and an interview with your new ECW Heavyweight Champion, Vince McMahon. RVD cut a promo on Vince on WWE.com yesterday, so that may be the next great feud, plus Vince can pin RVD to retain the title if Rob is on the way out. Lashley may not be on the show as he's got shoulder issues and they may be writing him off TV for a short while. They'll probably announce a rematch of Cena vs. HBK for the belt at the next PPV. I suspect that Undertaker vs. Dave Batista in a Hell in the Cell match is in the works as well, but that's only speculation. Vinny and I will be back later tonight with a Bryan & Vinny Show running down the program, plus the Cage Rage show from the UK last weekend.

- If you did not see last night's show, wrestling-wise it was awesome and you might want to check out the replay.

- Tonight is also the IFL on MyNetworkTV, with a show that apparently has been improved for the better. I believe they're only airing six matches instead of the usual 9 or 10. There is supposedly a hype special at 8:30 PM on Showtime for the June 2nd K-1 show at the LA Memorial Coliseum, but my Tivo claims a movie is in that slot. Guess we'll see.

- Last night's De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7 special on HBO was out of this world. The final episode airs Thursday at 8:30 PM. If you haven't seen these you must, boxing fan or not, and if you book for a major pro-wrestling promotion it's even more important. All four will replay back to back on HBO Friday night at 8:00 PM.

- Also, if you're a fan of boxing or just this fight, I strongly urge you to check out Mike Sempervive's articles on the subject elsewhere on this site, and also today's Figure Four Daily where we discuss boxing for an hour.

- Alison Danger's last night with ROH as a regular was Saturday night in Chicago Ridge.

- Condemned looks to have brought in $3,807,595 over the weekend, an utter disaster.

- The utter destruction of Mirko Crocop headlines this week's new 24,000-word Figure Four Weekly newsletter, which has been available for members since late Tuesday night! We'll discuss his loss to Gabriel Gonzaga, whether it's a disaster for UFC, the benefits to being fake as opposed to being real, plus the benefits of being real as opposed to fake, which isn't talked about much. We'll discuss Crocop's future, why this loss was different from all the others, dark matches for UFC 70 including one even worse than the Arlovski fight (seriously), everything you need to know about the death of Deep South Wrestling including all the history, what happened with Randy Orton, a WWE scare, why Austin Aries was suspended, what the mood is like in TNA, tons of notes on the Hogan FedEx Forum match this weekend, funniest bullshit story ever, a hype special you must see, a hilarious Police Beat, the most awesome angle of the year so far in Mexico, Shawn vs. Cena and why Michaels is so great, Vince continues his review of WrestleMania XIX, I review ROH The Bitter End, reviews of every major TV show including Raw, Smackdown, TNA and TUF, and TONS more!
