Review of Rey Mysterio: Behind the Mask

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:36:16 +0000

Do you remember Rey Mysterio's feud with Kane last year when Rey was missing for several weeks? Rey reveals where he was during that time in his autobiography which was released on Tuesday. It is so shocking that I can't believe it was never revealed before, especially in light of recent news involving Rey. If you want to know where Rey was during that time as well as whether or not you should buy this book, click here for my review of Rey Mysterio: Behind the Mask.

The last time a boxer hosted Monday Night RAW, Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show and Chris Jericho didn't roll out the welcome mat. Will Ricky Hatton be in for the same treatment when he hosts Monday Night RAW on Monday?

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:15:51 +0000

Tickets for WrestleMania XXVI will be going on sale Saturday at 12:00 PM EST and will be available via Ticketmaster.com. This year's event will be taking place on March 28 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. If you will be traveling to the Phoenix area for the event this year, I highly recommend you check out About.com: Phoenix by Judy Hedding. Her site offers all the details about hotel information, rental cars, and all the other info you need to know to have a good time in Phoenix.

Just make sure you don't have too good of a time in Phoenix. It is the home of the infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio. If you are visiting the area, you need to stay out of trouble unless you want to be forced to wear pink underwear, eat green bologna, and sleep in "tent city". One great way to stay out of trouble is by taking in all the wrestling events that will be taking place that weekend. In addition to all the WWE related activities taking place that weekend, Ring of Honor and Dragon Gate USA will each be holding two wrestling events.
