Due to NHL Playoff hockey (New Jersey @ Carolina), WWE Raw will be preempted in Canada on May 8th, resulting in a start time of 10pm (Eastern, unless the game runs long) and shown on tape delay. The usual midnight replay (May 9th, or late on the 8th) is still scheduled, as is the 3:30 am replay on the 10th (late 9th).
The following week, RAW will be shown LIVE on TSN without a tape delay, as CBC and not TSN will air the hockey game that evening.
Depending on which teams advance to the Conference Championships, there is still the possibility for preemptions on TSN in 2 weeks time.

Hogan's wife Linda, 46, daughter Brooke, who turns 18 on Friday, and son Nick, 15, co-star in the reality show, in its second season.
''We fell in love with the place,'' Hogan says. ''I'm dead serious about living there.'' The family will start moving in next week. ``We'll head toward Miami like the Beverly Hillbillies.''
Due to overwhelming demand The Original G.I. Ho vs. The New G.I. Ho match crashed our servers last night as many fans emailed us telling us of the situation with the website. You'll be glad to know that the site is up and running at 100%.

Maximum Xtreme Pro Wrestling's "Lords Of The Ring" results Saturday, April 29, 2006 in Boca Raton, Florida (taken from Blair Russell's review of the show):
1. Black Market defeated The Heartbreak Express (w/ So Cal Val). The fans enjoyed cheering on Market, and loved to laugh and groan at Sean-Phil Davis. Market used their finisher, a double team neckbreaker, to win the match. This was an entertaining opener.
2. The Naturals defeated Modern Day Theory (w/ Amy Vitale) by DQ. Naturals replaced Michael Modest-Donovan Morgan. The TNA guys, despite the obvious presence of some vocal TNA fans, were the heels here. I'd say that this was good as both teams did some tandem moves and other things, and those things weren't superfluous or unneeded. The ending came when So Cal Val came out to taunt Amy and then a catfight between Amy and So Cal Val ensued, which the people in the audience more than enjoyed the hair pulling and rolling around. Both refs were distracted by having to separate the girls, so the Naturals did something straight out of Memphis or Mid-South. They handed Preston James a chain and Chase Stevens fell back, feigning being hit with the chain. The ref saw that and the chain in Preston's hand and assumed what happened, so he disqualified MDT, ticking off the crowd
3. The SAT's defeated Trent Acid-Chasyn Rance. Trent's Backseat Boyz partner, Johnny Kashmere, wasn't able to make it due to being injured. Acid chose Chasyn as his partner, and it was a perfect fit, as Rance comes off as acting just like a Backseat Boy. This was pretty good as Trent and Chasyn did some double teams and you know that's what the Maximos did too. It was funny that the top half of the bracket was "Florida teams" and the bottom half was "teams from the Northeast". The styles of the top half and bottom half of the bracket were markedly different too. Anyhow, Acid and Rance argued with each other during the course of the match, Homicide and Low-Ki came out to distract Acid and that allowed Rance to receive the Spanish Fly.
4. The Briscoe Brothers defeated Homicide & Low-Ki. This was the "strong style" you would come to expect from this matchup. Mainly, it was the Briscoe's that got whupped. After some kicks to the chest from Low-Ki, Jay's chest was beet red. They went back and forth. Mark and Jay won after Acid and Rance came out to distract Ki and Homicide, getting their revenge. After the match, Trent left Chasyn high and dry, and we saw what I'll say is THE SCARIEST MOVE I'VE EVER SEEN LIVE. It was the Double Stomp Cop Killa! It's Homicide doing his finisher (a.k.a. The Kudo Driver or The Vertebreaker) while at the same time Ki jumps from the top rope and drives his legs onto the legs of the guy receiving the Cop Killa. Chasyn suffered a concussion, a pinched nerve, and separated shoulder. They spent about 5 minute tending to him and he had to be "stretchered" out on a table and taken to a hospital.
5. Tyson Tomko defeated Hack Meyers. This is teacher vs. student as Hack was the one who trained Tyson to become a pro wrestler.
6. Black Market defeated The Naturals. This was an entertaining match which had its fair share of comedy, the highlight being Andy and Chase ending up in some compromising positions. During the match (and afterwards too) they worked over the knee of Murphy, and he had to limp to the back.
7. The SAT's defeated The Briscoe Brothers. For most of the match the little kids that were at ringside were chanting "SAT". The guys did a bunch of nutty moves and they kicked out of most of them. Amongst the moves they did included:
* A springboard Doomsday Device
* A springboard Doomsday Device, except that it ended in a DDT rather than a clothesline
* One of the Maximos doing a dope, but once Jay, I believe, caught him, it turned into a tornado DDT
* The finish, which was I believe Jose delivering a powerbomb, except that instead of hitting the mat Mark (I think) landed on Jose's knees.
8. Kenny King defeated Kahagas. Kenny ended up being popular here. It was another entertaining bout.
9. The Warlord defeated Chaz to win the MXPW Heavyweight Title. Warlord won with a straight up powerbomb.
10. Black Market defeated The SAT's to win the 2006 Lords of the Ring. After the match, they received the trophy for winning the tournament
