WWE News: Weather Update, Video of Stage & Lighting, More
– There is a 50% chance of rain during the 8PM-11PM hours in Orlando tonight, which would be during the WrestleMania XXIV PPV.
– Sent in by Adam Lebow: WWE has some interesting photos on their website here of things not shown on the broadcast from last night’s Hall of Fame ceremony.
Picture #7 – Macaulay Culkin was sitting among the fans
Picture #8 – Freedie Prinze Jr was sitting among the fans
Picture #21 – Festus dressed up in a tux, yet still looking in character
Picture #74 – Ric Flair shows the cuff links that HHH gave him of the NWA Title
Picture #80 – Ric Flair shows the picture of himself and Gordon Solie
– Sent in by Adam Lebow: Also, over at WWE.com they have Josh Matthews hosting updates throughout the day with Candice Michelle (in a sling). The first video, taken last night after the HOF shows Matthews in the arena while testing is going on, so if you want a glimpse of what it will look like the 1st video is neat. The 2nd video is more-so a filler, but the 3rd one sees Josh and Candice go down to the tailgate party outside the arena where they ask fans what they want and Candice gets to share a beer with some of the local tailgaters “It helps after surgery.” They are promising that in the 4th update for later today, Candice is going to wear her new outfit that she had planned to wear for the show tonight and they are going to show off more of the inside of the arena. You can access the video, along with an interview Matthews did with The Rock after he was on stage during the HOF, here.
