— Pro Wrestling Illustrated has named Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXVI “Match of the Decade” in its PWI Decade Awards. Runner-ups include Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 21, Hollywood Hogan vs. The Rock at WrestleMania X8, Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XIX, Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker at WrestleMania XXV, and Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H vs. Chris Benoit at WrestleMania XX. Here is what PWI wrote regarding the honor: “In addition to being one of the most dramatic and emotional bouts of the decade, it was also a symbolic changing of the guard and a fitting sendoff for Flair, arguably the top wrestler of the second half of the 20th century. Other matches during the 2000s may have been more physical or high-flying, but this match had the emotion and the incredible energy of nearly 75,000 fans hanging on every move.”
— For those of you who missed this past Tuesday’s episode of ECW, the WWE website has posted video of Tommy Dreamer’s emotional goodbye to ECW and the WWE Universe.
— Former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia will apparently be making a big announcement soon as she hinted at such on her Twitter account earlier today. She wrote: “New Year has started off great! Had great workout, got great news I will be sharing with you guys soon & spending my final day here in SC with my parents :)”
