STAMFORD – WWE (NYSE: WWE) announced today that the first 1,000 vehicles to arrive at the Save Mart Center in Fresno for the Monday Night Raw Supershow on August 20, 2012 will receive free event parking.

WWE.com is reporting that Triple H suffered a broken arm at the hands of Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam. An article at WWE.com speculates that Triple H's arm was broken by Lesnar's Kimura lock and also states:

"It has also been released that The King of Kings broke his left arm in the same place that he did when Brock attacked him of the April 30 episode of Raw, an assault that lit the fuse on their tremendous rivalry. Although Triple H had initially refused medical attention last night, an examination this morning confirmed the severity of the injury."

Lesnar and Paul Heyman will open tonight's RAW at 8PM EST.

Guess this means he's going to be making another appearance with The Money Team no-selling the injury.

WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels teased an appearance on Raw. "Time for me to go," Michaels wrote on Twitter on Sunday night. "I gotta make a few calls and see if I can get a satellite truck out here by tomorrow night."

Guess the WWE doctors are really stupid. It is nearly impossible to break your arm twice at the same place... The healing process will make the broken bone a lot stronger on that particular place. However, it IS possible to break the same arm twice.

wrestling sucks

so i'll be watching

 

[captaincharisma]

can't catch this at 8, maybe get to the last hour. steve austin flipped the bird EVERY WEEK, now this is a big deal? this election can't come any sooner.

The main items: Brock Lesnar will be opening the show at 8 p.m. in the latest quest to get viewers there for the start, plus Shawn Michaels will appear "via satellite." It's expected to be Chris Jericho's final show, although he is off next Monday as far as performing with Fozzy, but likely this is it. The impression is the World title situation with Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio will be done on Tuesday's show.

-HHH is not retiring, but they wanted you to think it's his swan song as part of the story of him building to making his next match mean something. In storyline, Brock Lesnar broke HHH's arm again, which means that they are likely to be rematched as opposed to that being the end of the program.

--WWE was the second most searched item on Google on Sunday in the U.S. with about 100,000 searches, which would be the number you would predict for a SummerSlam show. Tony Scott was first at 200,000. This was searches for WWE, SummerSlam and main participants.

--Kevin Dunn reportedly blew a gasket last night when Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst flipped off the camera on the live show. It wasn't on a seven second delay in most places like Raw is so they couldn't edit it out. TMZ had a story and picture with Durst and WWE officials saying that he was not kicked out of the building. Durst said he left to apologize to WWE producers. A WWE rep told TMZ that Durst apologized and they apologize to their audience for it being on the show. Durst first claimed that he left the building after the incident to beat traffic home.

--The reason Maria Menounous was wearing a Bob Backlund T-shirt last night in the crowd is because she did a movie with him called "In the Land of Merry Misfits." (thanks to Ken Bowen and others) Among the people backstage were Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather and Lita.

NOPE

in my mind she wore the shirt because she's secretly a wrestling smark.

 

[DaylitoJames]

Am i the only one that dont want to see cena come out and cry about not winning last night on some "you didnt pin me" bullshyt leading to him getting Yet Another title match and main event? I rather someone new like kofi kingston come out during punks promo and throw diwn the tag team title in some "im tired of teaming with a crazy nikka with an imiginary friend. I want a title shot! I deserve a shot!" it would be something new.

Can't wait til 8pm
