"Tribute To The Troops" Taping, Jimmy Wang Yang, Claudio, More

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

The annual "Tribute To The Troops" show will be taped sometime after 12/19. The show will air on Christmas day. In prior years, WWE would tape the show several weeks in advance. Also, WWE 24/7 will be airing all three "Tribute To The Troops" shows during the month of December.

The current WWE program sold at shows lists James Yun as being Jimmy Wayne Yang, not Jimmy Wang Yang. WWE originally introduced him as Jimmy Wayne Yang, but the middle name was changed to Wang about a week later.

Recent WWE developmental signee Claudio Castagnoli is actually expected to start in OVW in January, not DSW.

David Cone of Harley Race's World League Wrestling has been refereeing on SmackDown as of late.
