*At the Buffalo Smackdown tapings, there was a very large section of fans chanting "You screwed Bret" when Earl Hebner came out. He immediately broke character and flipped them off.
*Chyna will be releasing a fitness video shortly.
*Shawn Michaels at this point is planned to be used on a sporadic basis when needed, and there are no plans to use him as a weekly character. His main thrust continues to be his wrestling school and promotion in Texas.
