» This is just a reminder that there is a FREE UFC event tonight on SpikeTV. There are five live fights on the card (Jardine vs. Hammill, etc etc). The super-6 middleweight boxing tournament on Showtime also returns tonight. Andre Ward is in the main event of that show. Also in addition to the WWE Fatal 4 Way PPV tomorrow night, there is a WEC show on Versus (head-to-head) featuring Jamie Varner, etc etc. What a crazy weekend.

» Jim Ross will be spending some time looking at talents at WWE’s developmental territory FCW in Florida soon.

» Ricky Steamboat has been temporarily taken off the road to work as a trainer in Florida Championship Wrestling. It’s said to be a temporary position. Dennis Condrey joined WWE as a full-time trainer a few months ago, but has since parted ways with the organization.

WrestleMania itself would be held at the Sun Life Stadium while Fan Axxess would be held at the Miami Beach Convention Center with the Hall of Fame and RAW that week being held at the American Airlines Arena.
