In what is a story that could end up having big ramifications to pro wrestling (TNA in particular), today's Hollywood Reporter notes that Howard Stern's TV deal on the E! channel is expiring on 7/8, and they have openly talked about the possibility of a deal with SpikeTV. They key point here is that Stern's show on E! airs at 11PM Monday-Saturday, and if Spike keeps that timeslot and runs a show on Saturday's, it would almost have to effect negotiations with TNA, as they are currently planning on a late-night timeslot on Saturday's following the UFC shows.

John Cena will be on The Best Damn Sports Show Period tonight on Fox Sports Net.

Bill Goldberg's regular series Automaniac will air again tonight on The History Channel at 9:00PM EST.

WWE Diva Ivory is currently taking indy bookings. Those interested can contact her through Tony Hunter at legendsbooking@yahoo.com.

The 8/14 SmackDown! house show originally scheduled for Chatham, Ontario has been moved to Owen Sound, Ontario.
