- It is almost 99% certain that Ric Flair will not be facing Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania. There was some thought after Raw that he might be asked to but it is not happening. However with that said the Legends vs Jericho match is not final. There is some talk that Sunka and Piper could be taken out of the match with Jericho facing Steamboat one on one.
- Former WWE and WCW wrestler Juvi was invloved in a backstage fight at a recent AAA show. He was beaten up badly by former WWE developmental talent Teddy Hart and has accused Konnan of crapping in his gym bag.
- Big Show was scheduled to win Money in the Bank when he was originally booked to be in the match.
- The all Divas edition of ECW will take place on 3/30 in Dallas.
- There have been several people internally who were negative about Koko Ware, citing that it made the Hall of Fame induction less prestigious when the bar is lowered that much. But others noted the obvious, that between the celebrity wing, James Dudley and Johnny Rodz, the Hall is what it is, people that either Vince wants to honor or is convinced that year to honor by someone who pushes hard enough.
- Dory Funk had called Bret Hart and asked him if he could induct him. That was before Dory found out those decisions are made for you. Hart did accept, although I don’t think he really believed he would be doing it.
- The St. Petersburg Tines last week ran an article on how there were 35 home owners in the area who, despite the drought, used more than one million gallons of water during 2008. Third on the list was Cena, who lives in a mansion in Land O’Lakes, FL (as opposed to the living modest that he publicly claims) and used two million gallons of water during the year. I’m assuming he’s got his own waterfall or something because not only did he use more water than anyone, but he’s never home, and he doesn’t even have a family, and while he’s got dozens of cars, they don’t run on water. I mean, when guys talk about being on the road 300 days a year, they are exaggerating, but because of all the P.R. work he does, he’s home very few days per month except when he’s injured. Anyway who consumes more than 180,000 gallons per year is considered a heavy user and a typical family that doesn’t conserve would go through 90,000.
- Howard Finkel is the final inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. No word on who will induct him. In the video, which aired on ECW instead of Raw, they made it out to be a complete joke, with the highlights of his career being marching like a Bushwhacker and being stripped to his red underwear and otherwise being the butt of jokes, as opposed to him being one of the best ring announcers wrestling has ever had. There are some people where the Hall means nothing, some who are in who consider it a joke, and some who take it seriously, but for Finkel, this is a really big deal that he’s talked about for years as if it would be the ultimate achievement of his professional life, and that’s probably why the induction video made it come across like a comedy pick.
