SMALLVILLE: "COMBAT"
The CW has released a description of "Combat," the Thursday, March 22 episode of Smallville.
Here's how the network describes the episode, which features Kane and Ashley from WWE.
"Clark (Tom Welling) and Chloe (Allison Mack) discover Titan (guest star Kane), a Zoner, is the star of a secret fight club whose bloody battles to the death are broadcast on the internet. Lois (Erica Durance) smells a story and decides to investigate on her own but is captured and forced to participate in the fights with Athena (guest star Ashley) as her first opponent. Clark reveals his powers so he can fight Titan but is stunned when he is thrown in the ring with Lois instead."
The episode was written by Turi Meyer and Al Septien and directed by James Marshall.
BRIEFLY
Ghost Rider pulled in $1.0 million on Thursday to remain on top of the box office for a 14th consecutive day. The film's domestic total going into the weekend stood at $83.3 million.
