- Ultimate Fighter did another 1.1 this week.

- Vinny and I will be back tonight for members with our weekend Bryan & Vinny Show talking Ultimate Fighter, Smackdown, ECW and TNA. Tomorrow we're back with the post-UFC recap show, where we'll be joined by Mike Coughlin to talk the Serra vs. St. Pierre aftermath. Coughlin has a preview column on the match up right now on the main page, with a very specific prediction for the finish. We'll preview the card tomorrow.

- We also hope to have the Dave Meltzer Figure Four Daily up before midnight EST tonight.

- St. Pierre is currently -500 to Serra's +400.

- Smackdown for tonight has Undertaker vs. Big Dave in a non-title match.

- Impact wasn't as bad as I'd heard last night, and apparently next week's Angle vs. Joe match (if you ignore the stupidity of giving it away on TV when you know it's not doing better than a 1.1) is excellent.

- If you have not seen the UFC Countdown show, it airs tonight at 11:00 PM on Spike and is a must-see, especially the Serra/St. Pierre stuff.

- Frank Trigg, who did commentary for Angle vs. Joe Sunday and was awesome, has been added to the DREAM Middleweight Grand Prix tournament on April 29th at the Saitama Super Arena.

- ROH tonight and tomorrow courtesy Dr. Keith:
