— Most of tomorrow night’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown will be taped during tonight’s WrestleMania Axxess event in Houston (instead of live tomorrow as was talked about at one point). On tomorrow night’s show, Jim Ross and Tazz will pitch to Todd Grisham and Jerry Lawler, who will host the Axxess portion of the broadcast.
— Jimmy Hart appears to be back in the good graces of World Wrestling Entertainment again as he is slated to appear at the WrestleMania Axxess event this weekend. The Hall of Fame manager was previously scheduled to appear at Booker T’s Legends of Wrestling Fanfest, but his picture has since been pulled from their website.
Hart is the latest talent to cross over to WWE after being announced to appear at Booker T’s event, following Torrie Wilson, Tito Santana, Nick Bockwinkel and Ron Simmons.
This past fall, Vince McMahon vowed to never use Hart again in any a capacity due to his involvement with Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling. Although it should be noted that Hart asked John Laurinaitis if he could appear on the show, and he said yes.
