-- I hope all you United States visitors had a good Thanksgiving yesterday. For those who asked (and several of you have), our turkey came out amazingly good :)! This begins the start of the holiday season. We'll be here on a daily basis throughout the new year and beyond. News tends to be a little bit slower as we head towards Christmas but nonetheless we'll be here! Thanks again for your continued support of the website. We can't thank you guys enough!! You can email me at Webmaster@WrestlingINC.com. If you've got a newsbit please pass it along. We'll try to confirm it and then post it here on the website with credit to you.

-- Maria is expected to return to SmackDown! imminently as filming for Celebrity Apprentice wrapped up last week. The ninth installment of the United States version of The Apprentice will premiere next spring on NBC.

In Lawler's case, he never watches ECW nor Smackdown!. In the case of Ventura for the Breakthrough Battle Royal, he likely wouldn't have known most of the wrestlers in the match, plus with both going live there was no chance to edit later.
