Scotiabank Place will be privy to some WWE Smackdown! action come September 19th. But what's also interesting is that, prior to the show, they will be holding tryouts for anyone who wants to strut their stuff. Here's part of the press release. No, I won't be trying out:

"Many memorable and legendary WWE Superstars have come from Canada," said John Laurinaitis, Vice President of Talent Relations. "We look forward to finding the next generation of Superstars that will carry on that tradition."

Successful applicants could find themselves following in the footsteps of other Canadian WWE Superstars such as WWE Champion Edge(TM), former World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit(TM), Chris Jericho(TM), former Women's Champion Trish Stratus(TM) and WWE Hall of Famer Bret "Hitman" Hart.

WWE SmackDown Superstars will be part of a live event at the Scotiabank Centre in Ottawa on the evening of September 19. Tickets go on sale August 19. The event will be headlined by WWE Superstars such as Rey Mysterio(TM), Batista(TM) and World Heavyweight Champion, King Booker(TM).

"This is going to be a tremendous opportunity for individuals from Canada to have their shot at becoming a WWE Superstar," said Carl DeMarco, President of WWE Canada. "WWE Superstars Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, Trish Stratus and others will be forever be associated with Canada. At the tryouts in our nation's capital of Ottawa, WWE may just find its next Canadian Superstar."
