Saturday news...
- The Phoenix Business Journal has an article up about WWE Axxess coming to Phoenix next year as part of WrestleMania 26. The city is expecting 30,000 people to attend Axxess, 100,000 people to come to the area, and for $30 million to be injected into the local economy due to the event. Check out the article here.
- Seth Green appeared on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien last night and there was some talk of his RAW guest hosting gig. Conan mocked Randy Orton's wide eye expression during the segment.
- WWE.com has an interview up with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top about how he is a WWE and pro-wrestling fan. Check out the interview here.
- Bill Goldberg will be one of the contestants for next week's episode of "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" The show airs at 8PM on July 24th on FOX.
I think "mocking" Randy Orton is a bit of a stretch... he made a joke about the look Randy had on his face after Seth Green broke the pin... if you look at it objectively, it was a pretty funny look...

Conan is great. The look was so funny. He was spot on with the impression. I am sure it is on Hulu for you guys to check out.

Why God did I miss Conan?

I'd say something about Goldberg on "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" but that joke pretty much writes itself.

Seth calling hunter and cena "legends" and saying "I got to do my favorite moves!!" and they show him breaking up a pin, yeah, that was always my dream

Rather have seen local guys ZZ Top instead of Kid Rock at WM25.
from the article:
“[ZZ Top is] partial to the Texas boys,” he proudly proclaimed. “‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin’s been a dear friend, and he’s one of the great WWE stars along with Undertaker. Then again, you have Triple H, Big Show, Carlito … the list goes on and on.”
Wait, what..? Carlito?

Conan O'Brien should back Sheamus to a World Title shot.

In the year 3000...
Triple H and Randy Orton will still be having boring matches.

No stop with the CoCo. (If that name sticks I'll be ruined).
