Sunday 5:15 p.m. ET --Only two hours left until the Live Blog tonight, and I'm sitting next to Raw General Manager Mike Adamle, discussing tonight's big Raw matches and some of the finer points of Ronald Reagan's foreign policy. Hail the Gipper!
No matter what the detractors say on the WWE Fan Nation Forums, Adamle has put together a great Raw side of the SummerSlam card, featuring both titanic battles (Cena vs. Batista) and innovation (Winner Take All Titles Match).
And surprise.... just as Adamle walks away, he passes SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero. They exchange nods, but no words. Maybe Vickie feels threatened by the new innovative GM?
Brrr...did it just get cold in here?
Sunday 3:00 p.m. ET -- Four hours until the Live Blog tonight. I took a walk into the arena, and was blown away by the sight of the Hell in a Cell, hanging ominously above the ring.
This will be the 16th Hell in a Cell matchup in WWE history. Undertaker will have been in half of them, going 3-3 in one-on-one matchups and 0-1 in a six-pack challenge.
Will he be able to turn away the challenge of the newly-energized Edge? We'll find out by 11 p.m. tonight.
In the meantime, the Nation continues to talk about tonight's action in the WWE Fan Nation Forums. Interesting arguments and predictions being made.
Sunday 12:42 p.m. ET (Miles Driven: 980) -- After 5 hours driving across Ohio, I'm finally live at the Conseco Fieldhouse, getting set for tonight's SummerSlam Live Blog with our special guest, Edge. Our position is just feet away from the stage set, so I hope we'll be able to quickly get winners from tonight's matches on the LIve Blog.
BTW, Brandon Campbell from WWE.com is following our Live Blog guest all day long. Follow Edge's Superstar Diary all night on WWE.com.
This is my first visit to the "crossroads of America", and when you get off the highway in Indy, the first thing you see is the ENORMOUS new Lucas Oil Stadium, the home field for the Indianapolis Colts. It's easily the biggest stadium building I've ever seen (until Dallas gets the new Cowboys Stadium done) ... I can definately see this place hosting a WrestleMania down the road.
More updates to come all through the night.
Saturday 4:48 p.m. ET (Miles Driven: 705) --I'm back in Sharon, Pa. resting up for my drive to Indianapolis tomorrow. So while in town, I'm going to take advantage of one of Sharon's unique places.
Buhl Farm is a nearly 2,400-yard golf course that was created by Pennsylvania steel magnate Frank Buhl. It's 9 holes, par 34, and the best thing... it's completely FREE!
Thanks to the millionaire's trust fund left to manage the course, it's free to anyone that wants to play, provided you have clubs and balls. The final two holes of the course were designed by the great Arnold Palmer.
As usual, I hit about 50 for 9 holes.... I'm no good at golf that doesn't involve hitting the ball around waterfalls or through windmills. :-)
