There was an incident at last week's WWE live event in Evansville, IN where fans got hurt after Sheamus and Daniel Bryan crashed into the ringside fan barrier. One of the fans was really upset until Dean Malenko came out and invited him to go backstage and meet some of the WWE stars.
The fan noted that Jerry Lawler and a WWE trainer looked over his knee while John Cena, Randy Orton and others spoke to him then took photoswith him. Sheamus came in, apologized and then gave the fan his signed t-shirt that he wore to the ring that night.
The SmackDown live event on March 26 in Grand Rapids, Michigan drew 6,200 fans for $198,000 and the show on March 27th in East Lansing, Michigan drew 4,500 fans for $131,000.

Below are a few notes from the WrestleMania Art show at The FOX Theater in Atlanta, Georgia last night, thanks to Gerald:
* Between 150 and 200 fans were present for the red carpet event. The red carpet event was $10 while admission for the art show was $60.
* Most of the WWE Superstar and Divas' art pieces were sold, raising money for charity.
* Matt Striker, the emcee, hyped up a special mystery guest but they didn't appear due to the bad weather and traffic.
* The WWE Superstars and Divas arrived in limousines and most of them had Make-A-Wish kids as their dates.
* Jerry Lawler's piece may have been the most noteworthy as he drew a portrait of Vince McMahon, Vince McMahon Sr. and Shane McMahon.
- Here's an interesting statistic on LayCool. In 2010, Layla worked 71 WWE live event matches while Michelle McCool worked 17 events, and this was before McCool's foot injury happened. McCool was rarely booked on live events because of her husband, The Undertaker's seniority in the company. McCool was kept off the road while Taker was injured to help him recover at home.
