Tickets for WWE's return to Australia go on sale this weekend.

WWE is taping Smackdown and Main Event tomorrow in North Charleston, South Carolina. If anyone is going, we are seeking spoiler reports.

Freemantle Enterprises posted a FAQ about their takeover of WWE DVDs for the European market at this link. They noted they would be releasing WWE material via digital means for those markets, that they would look into continuing the "Tagged Classics" (re-releases of old Coliseum Home Video and WWF VHS releases on DVD) but did not promise they would, noted that Blu-Rays would be coded for Regions B and C (this won't make collectors happy as Silvervision would often release Blu-Ray titles that were not released in the States region-free, allowing collectors to import them) and that they would continue the Live in the UK DVD series, made up of TV Tapings that were held in the UK.

WWE made an investor presentation at the UBS New York City media conference. If you'd like to check it out, click here.
