WWE European tour continues (correspondents needed), TNA Impact Wrestling and WWE NXT live coverage, Dot Net Weekly audio show, Brian Pillman, Traci Brooks, Scott Putski, Global Supercard on ESPN Classic


-We are looking for correspondents for both WWE shows tonight. If you are attending either event and can help with a report contact us immediately at dotnetjason@gmail.com.
-One half of the WWE crew is at the O2 Arena in Dublin Ireland tonight. The show is headlined by John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt, and features Sheamus, who is sure to get a rowdy reaction from his countrymen, Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, and more.
-The other half of the WWE crew is at the Country Hall Liège in Liège, Belgium. That show is headlined by Big Show vs. Kane in a last man standing match and features The Shield, Randy Orton, Ryback, Curtis Axel, Paige, Emma, and more.
-TNA Impact Wrestling was taped on May 8 and is headlined by Willow vs. Magnus in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Dixie Carter is also supposed to address the MVP situation. Join me for live coverage of the show as it airs on SpikeTV at 8:00 p.m. CT.
-WWE NXT was taped back in April and features the last semi-final match in the NXT Women's Title tournament of Sasha Banks vs. Natalya. We will not have live coverage of the show tonight because Zack Zimmerman has the night off. Darren Gutteridge will be by on Friday with his review.
-Dot Net Members will be listening to part one of the Dot Net Weekly audio show later today. Jason Powell and I will be discussing the news of the week with an emphasis on the WWE television deal with NBCU and the fallout around Wall Street. Part two will be available on Friday. If you enjoy our All Access audio, help support Dot Net by signing up for membership to the ad-free version of the website via the Dot Net Members' Signup Page.
-WCW/WWE star, the late Brian Pillman, would have turned 52 today. Pillman was found dead at age 35 of arteriosclerotic heart disease, hours before he was to appear on a WWE In Your House pay-per-view. His "loose cannon" character and "Pillman's got a gun" angle with Steve Austin are considered iconic of 1990s era wrestling.
-Former TNA Knockout Traci Brooks (a/k/a Tracy Brookshaw) turns 39 today. Brooks is currently married to another former TNA wrestler, Frankie Kazarian, with the couple having their first child in 2013.
-Former WCW/WWE wrestler Scott Putski (a/k/a James Scott Bednarski) turns 48 today. Putski is the son of Ivan Putski and worked about a year in each major promotion with minimal success despite matches against Chris Jericho in WCW and a feud teaming his he and his father against Brian Christopher and his father, Jerry Lawler.
-ESPN Classic has three hours of Global Supercard Wrestling today. The first two hours are from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CT. and the final hour is from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. CT. There are no match listings for any of the shows.
