— Lucha Libre USA begins filming on the show’s second season this Sunday at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The show doesn’t have a current air date on MTV2. The plan is to film once a month at the Hard Rock.
— A&E is listing the episode of Strange Days with Bob Saget related to wrestling at 11 PM ET tomorrow. The episode will feature Saget joining a group of independent talents such as Christina Von Eeire, Erik Watts and Extreme Loco heading to Phoenix, Arizona to tryout for a spot on Dragon Gate USA events. Roddy Piper may make an appearance.
— Eric sent this one along: I had a chance to catch Scott Hall make an appearance at a CCW show in Coral Springs. Florida on Saturday night. He came out with some dude trying really hard to look like a much younger, and smaller, Dave Batista. He didn’t wrestle and was mainly doing an advisor type thing. He did get involved at one point and took some shots for his trouble though. Most of his action was limited to being the mouthpiece for this young kid. After his part in the show, Hall came out and took pictures and signed autographs. He was really nice to everyone and looked genuinely happy to be getting the adulation from the fans. On a sadder note, he was moving extremely gingerly and looked as beatdown as one could be. He was also doing a weird camera shtick where he was filming everything he was doing and commentating it all. He filmed the fans, the performers, and even handed the camera to his partner during the match so he could be filmed slapping the guy.
— WWE has filmed a segment with the cast of Pawn Stars, showcasing how much certain pieces of wrestling memorabilia would be worth. WWE taped the segment during a recent tour of Las Vegas. You can check that out at WWE.com.
