— Check out this story from TV Bizwire: The Monday night broadcasts of professional wrestling will return to the mats in earnest in March, when Spike TV’s TNA Impact! will go up against WWE on USA Network, reports Multichannel News. Spike TV’s two-hour wrestling show will air every other Monday beginning March 8 at 9 p.m., competing directly with WWE and World Championship Wrestling on USA Network.

— Word is that Jerry Springer was very popular backstage last night, second only to Bob Barker so far.

— Dragon Gate USA is making a major announcement tonight regarding the WrestleMania weekend shows in Phoenix. It will be made public right after ECW on Sy Fy. Rumors of Tommy Dreamer appearing for the company seem unlikely as he is scheduled to be in Japan that weekend, working for Tajiri’s new promotion.

— EVOLVE has announced that Claudio Castagnoli will appear on the March 13 event in Rahway.
