- We're looking for any reports from that show for the main page or newsletter, and also any results from any other major shows (WWE, TNA, etc.) you attend worldwide. Thanks as always!

- AAA also has Rey de Reyes tonight with Mesias vs. Cibernetico for their heavyweight title in the main event.

- As I'm sure most of you are aware of by now, if his 60 day suspension wasn't bad enough Jeff Hardy's house burned to the ground on Friday and he lost his dog. A sad, sad story. There is more on it up here.

- Jesse & Festus get their tag title shot against Miz & Morrison on Smackdown this week.

- Kala Kolohe Hose beat Phil Baroni last night at the ICON show to win the Middleweight Title. Baroni gassed and was knocked out in the fifth round. There is an article on the show up here.

- Adam Lebow writes: Tickets for WWE Raw at the Air Canada Center on May 05 go on sale on March 22. The Score has a big night planed on the eve of Wrestlemania. A special Smackdown replay will air at 9pm the night before Wrestlemania, and The Score will air the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony from 11pm-midnight (replacing TSN as the broadcaster). From midnight-1am (early Sunday) there will be a 'Best of Wrestlemania' highlight show.

- Lots of reports that Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez was awesome, and that if anyone didn't see it and has HBO you should check out the replay on Saturday night.

- WWE on Larry King has been rescheduled for Wednesday.

- Fifteen day forecast currently says NO RAIN AT WRESTLEMANIA.
