-Today is Memorial Day in the United States. I will be taking off most of the day, but things will get back to normal tonight, starting with my Raw coverage.
-WWE Raw will be live tonight from Tampa, Florida at Yeungling Center. The show features more Money in the Bank qualifiers. Join me for my live review as the show streams live on Netflix at 7CT/8ET. My weekly same-night Raw audio reviews will be available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
-The Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast will be recorded and released on Tuesday due to the holiday. Submit your questions for Jonny Fairplay and me via dotnetjason@gmail.com.
We are looking for reports from Raw in Tampa, Tuesday’s NXT in Tampa, Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite (and Collision taping) in El Paso, and Friday’s WWE Smackdown in Knoxville. If you are going to an upcoming show or taping and want to help, email me at dotnetjason@gmail.com
