A couple Hall-of-famers and others backstage at Raw/SNME taping

Send News


Nikolai Volkoff and Iron Sheik are in the house and both will be used in some capacity during either the Raw or SNME portion of tonight's tapings.

Mick Foley is also there, and so is former WWE wrestler D-lo Brown.

Evander Holyfield is also reportedly in attendance and I'm guessing his involvement will be connected to the MVP Vs. Matt Hardy boxing match on SNME. I vote commentary since his IFL commentary was so bad it was entertaining.

I think WWE should book Sheiky and Volkoff in $2 on a pole, I'd almost come out of semiretirement for that one.

Yes, I'm going to phase out posting wrestling news, but it will be a gradual phase out so that others can pick up the slack.
