JR defends Paul Bearer tribute being hijacked:

''For those complaining about the usage of Paul Bearer's image less than a week after his sudden passing last Tuesday at the age of 58, I suggest that they relax. I'm guessing that I knew Percy better than most complaining within the internet wrestling community and I can say without hesitation that he would have loved how his TV persona was honored notwithstanding how he contributed to one more storyline leading into WrestleMania.''

He went on to say Punk needed to prove he was the villain... Really?, he has been heel for almost a year, we know he is the bad guy, it was not needed IMO.

Drew McIntyre:

Drew says he is fighting fit, despite needing to be helped to the back on Raw this week.

3 more women reject TNA returns:

Sarita, Winter, and Rain take the ''No thanks'' up to 7, this Women's only PPV to be taped this weekend is in trouble of not getting off the ground at this rate.

TNA Fails:

TNA could not not attach the roof to the cage at this past Sunday's Lock Down PPV, the mechanism that lowered the roof malfunctioned.

They have also denied having plants in the crowd at Lock Down, after being criticized for the possibility of fans being hurt by one of them.

And Talent are Furious with the new pay scheme, They record 2 Impact episodes at the new live taping's, and talent are only being payed for the night's work, not per episode as was the case previously. So they are being paid once for two episodes of the show.

Dudley's reunion nixed:

TNA originally planned an angle where after the title change, Aces & 8's stormed the ring leaving Bubba and Jeff in a position where they would have to work together to fend them off, only for Bubba and D'Von to hit the 3D on Jeff. TNA decided Bubba's turn should be all about him, not the reunion of the team.

WrestleMania Tag Title match changed:

Kane & Daniel Bryan will defend the Tag Gold vs Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Langston.

Major backstage heat on The Rock:

Their is already resentment that The Rock is in the main event for the second consecutive year, but the fact that The Rock is hardly turning up for Raw, and will miss 2 out of the remaining 4 episodes of Raw before Mania is going down extremely badly.

Even the almighty Cena is being affected, he was kept off Raw this week despite being in attendance, because WWE did not want fans to notice that their champ, The Rock had not appeared.

He is currently in Australia.

World's Greatest Tag Team splits:

Ring Of Honour have split up Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin, this will leave Benjamin free to complete his WWE return.

Zack Ryder on why he is so over:

"I think because probably from my YouTube show – I really let the WWE Universe into my life. I vented my frustration with the company. I joked around. People saw it and realized, 'Hey, he's one of us. He wants to be at the top, so let's get him there.' Me and my dad were best friends in the show — it was kind of a little five - minute reality show every week. When my girlfriend broke up with me, I cried on the show. It was very much, what you see is what you get. I just did it in my living room with a little camera. There was no green screen, no high-end production. And people loved it."

The Undertaker:

Taker will not appear at any TV's after Mania, he was thought to be at Raw the night after Mania, he will not be.
