First, the bad news: Shark Boy is not scheduled to appear at tonight's Total Nonstop Action Wrestling event at the Family Arena (2002 Arena Parkway, St. Charles; www.familyarena.com or 314-534-1111). But dry those tears, little ring rat, because Curry Man is totally gonna be there. The high-octane wrestler, equally famous for his electric dance moves and the plate of curry affixed to his mask, brings new meaning to the phrase "over the top." Who doesn't love a food-based concept wrestler whose signature move is called "the Spicy Drop"? I could watch clips of Curry Man in action all afternoon, and in fact, I just did. But wait, there's more! Big names such as Booker T. and the current TNA world champ Kurt Angle are also on the bill. It's gonna be loud, action-packed and totally nuts at the Family Arena tonight. The action gets under way at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $27.25 to $77.25.
