    -OVW Matchmaker Jim Cornette was in the house for the OVW House show this
    Wednesday night. Cornette thanked everyone for sending their condolences to
    him for the passing of his mother and announced some big plans for the
    opening of the NEW Davis Arena.

    He opened the segment, taped for Television by talking about the new
    facility. The arena will hold five times the amount of fans as the old Davis
    Arena and is in Louisville, KY as opposed to right across the river in
    Jeffersonville, IN. The building also has nice clean restrooms, air
    conditioning and a nice concession area as well.

    Cornette then went on to say that the night will be an "OVW Reunion Night"
    with stars that have gone on to WWE fame coming back. Dr. Tom Prichard, Jim
    Ross, John Cena, Randy Orton, Rico "the Stylist" Costantino, and WWE
    Undisputed Title Contender Brock Lesnar.

    He also ran down the list of current OVW Talent that will be there, with the
    exception of the names of Damaja, Doug Basham and Victoria (Yes the one who
    recently debuted on RAW) collectively known as the Revolution.

    The Revolution then made their way down to the ring, stating that the Davis
    Arena fans didn't deserve a nice arena and were all pathetic. Cornette then
    went on to say that the Revolution will be on the show and said that Damaja
    would be wrestling Randy Orton and that Doug Basham will be going one on one
    with Brock Lesnar.

    Once again this card will take place during the opening of the NEW Davis
    Arena on September 4th in Louisville, KY. There are directions that can be
    found on OVW's website at http://www.ovwrestling.com

    JimRome.com, web site home to the nationally syndicated sports radio show
    known as the Jim Rome Show or more commonly referred to as the 'Jungle' has
    an article up about 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's domestic assault incident
    with his wife. This article is practically the same thing Rome said over the
    airwaves on his show today.

    Rome is known for hosting a 'different' type of sports radio show than most
    are accustomed to, which might help the readers who are unfamiliar with Rome
    to understand the article listed below. Rome also hosts the Last Word on Fox
    Sports Net.

    The article can be accessed at:

    In a followup to what Tito posted yesterday stating that next year's WrestleMania is confirmed for Seattle - here is more clarification. Before the tapings took place last night, a local radio station DJ (Andy Savage of 107.7) told the fans that WrestleMania would definitely be held in Seattle next year. Tony Chimmel then got on the mic and stated that they were considering it, but it was not official yet.
