Steven Fernandes at PWInsider.com has posted that WWE will stream tonight’s Hall of Fame ceremony on their website beginning at approximately 7:30 PM. It was not stated exactly how much of the event will be shown, but considering 7:30 has been listed as the start time for the proceedings themselves, that would suggest the entire HOF will be televised online.
The USA Network (as well as The Score in Canada) are scheduled to air the final hour of the Hall of Fame at 11 PM. The Score will also present a special “WrestleMania Highlights” program immediately afterward.

WWE has prepared the ’Mania ring for less-than-favorable weather by erecting a tent-like structure above the ring, but the rest of the Citrus Bowl will remain unprotected. Bring your umbrellas, folks! Be first to comment this article | Views: 264 | Read more... |

Dave Meltzer has reported that many TNA performers are unhappy with the company’s decision to air WWE wrestler Dereck “Robbie McAllister” Graham-Couch sitting amongst The Impact Zone crowd during Thursday’s live broadcast. Apparently, the talent feels that TNA placed Graham-Couch’s job at risk, as WWE wrestlers have been told to evade both TNA and ROH members during WrestleMania weekend.
This situation may in fact worsen, as Meltzer also stated that Graham-Couch was sent home by WWE yesterday.

Just for a little break from the WrestleMania news this weekend, in the MMA world MMAWeekly.com is reporting today that former UFC heavyweight champion and legitimate contender for the most boring fighter ever Tim Sylvia is expected to part ways with the UFC.
Sylvia hinted to this on his personal website on Wednesday saying "“I’ve got a couple of big announcements to make about my career.” He had one fight left on his current deal with the UFC following his his loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueria at UFC 81 for the interim Heavyweight championship.
Sylvia's manager, Monte Cox has declined comment.
Sylvia's been in the game since September 2002 defeating Wesley Corriea at UFC 39. Sylvia has not always had the most harmonious relationship with the UFC after lackluster title defenses at UFC 61 and 65 he began publicly stating his opinion on the UFC's business decisions and attacking former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar's pay as well as his willingness to leave following UFC 81.
Sylvia has pointed at heading to M-1, run by his manager Monte Cox, using the grounds that Lesnar is making more money than him and that has to change
So with that there is one less fighter in what used to be a stacked heavyweight division in the UFC. While this has the potential to be ultimately for the better time will tell if the implications this could have on that division either way.
That's your little MMA blurb and now back to your regularly scheduled WrestleMania news.

I grew up in Orlando, so I’ve been looking forward to returning home for WrestleMania for a year now. After arriving in Orlando last night I woke up this morning to find this story in the Orlando Sentinel.
Apparently the gigantic WrestleMania billboard that hangs on the Orlando bus station had the nipples of the wrestlers airbrushed off. This occurred because somebody mistakenly believed that there was a city ordinance prohibiting the display of nipples. The article also notes that “there is, in fact, no city law that bans the display of male chests. In fact, the exact same image can be spotted -- with nipples aplenty -- on Lynx buses.”
Oh Florida, how I’ve missed you and your craziness! Thanks to Prowrestling.net for pointing out this story.
