- WWE Hall of Famer Greg "The Hammer" Valentine has been telling people in the business that he's going to play a part in the upcoming movie "The Wrestler" starring Mickey Rourke. This is the same film that was originally set to star Nicholas Cage before he backed out.
- Several readers in the Chicago area sent word of major problems with Comcast and the WWE Armageddon pay-per-view last night. Comcast was promising credits for the show if they couldn't work it out.
- Former WWE superstar Gangrel, who appeared on the Anniversary show, has a wrestling-themed adult movie coming out soon called Rated XPW. The movie will feature adult film star Mary Carey, who is also a friend of Chyna's.
- WWE sent feelers to Paul Heyman to appear on the RAW Anniversary show, but he was never officially invited to attend. Sources say Heyman wasn't interested anyway as he feels that whatever fans would have popped for his appearance have been run off from the business because of the direction it's gone lately.
- The original ending for RAW's 15th Anniversary show last weekend had Vince McMahon being laid out by either Steve Austin or The Undertaker, then Bret Hart would come in and put Vince in the Sharpshooter as RAW went off the air. Of course the deal with Hart didn't work out and WWE went with the ending with Foley, Austin and The Undertaker with the WWE superstars celebrating in the ring.
