- As noted earlier, tonight is the big WWE "Supershow" with both a RAW and SmackDown taping at Madison Square Garden. We reported incorrectly before that SmackDown would be taped after RAW goes off the air. Obviously, that wouldn't make much sense being on the east coast so SmackDown will be taped before RAW goes live on Spike TV. If anyone attends the show tonight, we would appreciate a full report from the SmackDown tapings (which will include Dark Matches & Velocity Tapings) as well as any Off Air Notes from RAW (including Dark Matches & Sunday Night Heat Tapings). To send us a report, either click here or click the "SEND US NEWS" link on the main page.

- World Heavyweight Champion Batista made an appearance on ESPN 2's "Cold Pizza" program earlier this morning. It was noted in the beginning of the interview that he didn't start wrestling until he was 31 (Dave later corrected him saying it was actually 29). He mentioned that he felt he wouldn't be where he is at right now if it wasn't for the mentoring of Triple H. Towards the end on a rather sad note, the host brought up that Batista's wife, Angie, is currently battling cancer. Batista got noticeably choked up and apologized for his reaction saying he wasn't expecting to do that, but noted that dealing with it has made him appreciate everything more.

- Steve Austin will be on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Show tonight.
