EARLY RAW PREVIEW, BROCK LESNAR RETURNS TO HIS ROOTS, FORMER WWE STAR HOSPITALIZED AND MORE

Announced for tonight's Monday Night Raw thus far is WWE Intercontinental champion William Regal vs. CM Punk.

The WWE's deal with Tribune Entertainment for the new Superstars revival that will launch in April has already been picked up by more outlets than the Congressional letter and interview transcripts released on Friday.  Some world, eh?

Former WWE and ECW star Stevie Richards recently had a hospital stay to get a nagging lung infection drained.  I am told he's already out of the hospital and feeling better than he has in some time.  Our best to Richards, who was one hell of a heel during his run in the original ECW, was one of that company's hottest babyfaces in 1997 and sadly, never seemed to get a push commensurate with his talent in WWE.  Richards is currently working as an instructor at the Connecticut School of Broadcasting and maintains his own technology website at www.t4show.com/.

Former WWE champion and current UFC Heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar will be making a signing appearance this Wednesday 1/7 for Ohio Valley Wrestling.  For information, visit www.ovwrestling.com.

Supertickets for the ECW Original-themed Hardcore Reunion convention set for this March in Allentown, PA are now on sale at www.wrestlingmarx.com.

Add a 1/24 appearance in Westland, Michigan at Best Buy for Ken Kennedy to promote Behind Enemy Lines - Colombia.
