— Colt Cabana’s The Art Of Wrestling Podcast features Adam Pearce this week and is available for free at WeLoveColt.com.

— The Score won’t be airing WWE Vintage Collection on 9/11 due to NCAA football. The show will instead air tonight at 10:30PM ET.

— The NFL opener between the Saints and Vikings last night did a monster 17.7 rating, making it the highest rated NFL opener ever. Spike TV didn’t air iMPACT! last night because they figured iMPACT’s rating would be way down due to the NFL game.
