By This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it - WWE is doing an angle where Chief Operating Officer Michael Sileck is in the building for Raw, and perhaps Smackdown and ECW this week. We're told the Vince McMahon storyline continues tonight, that the show will not be very reality-based (meaning, likely, more death-related wackiness), and that there probably will be no mention of Sherri Martel. This was a Kevin Dunn call and many in WWE were strongly trying to get that changed this afternoon. "In the ashes of tragedy," WWE.com wrote, "life begins anew on Raw."- No update on Sherri's real-life death except that nobody in WWE had heard anything as of this afternoon. The police are apparently keeping it very quiet. - There will be a final Strike Force press conference on Wednesday at 11:30 AM PST at the Grill restaurant in the HP Pavilion. All the main fighters will be there. The weigh-in takes place Thursday at 2:00 PM. - The IFL finals have been moved to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, FL with a new date of September 20th. More info is up at IFL.tv.
