'Raw' Back

WWE live (kinda) from the Frank Erwin Center tonight

Just a quick reminder for pro-wrestling fans: The second half of last week's recording of World Wrestling Entertainment's Monday Night Raw from the Frank Erwin Center will be broadcast tonight.

Because the Raw roster is heading back from a brief tour of Hawaii and Alaska, the matches for this week's show had to be recorded last week. As always, we remain spoiler-free (all we shall say is that, love him or hate him, Ric Flair is charisma incorporated). The unmissable part of tonight's show may be the five-star main event of Jeff Hardy versus Shawn Michaels, the Heartbreak Kid. This may be a contender for WWE match of the year. However, fans of Chronicle contributors (we know there must be some, somewhere) may want to keep an eye out for the two guys on the front row who almost got wiped out by John Bradshaw Layfield when the wrestler went flying over the barrier midmatch.

The *a-hem* live broadcast will be on the USA network, 8pm central.
