- Last week on "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central, Stephen Colbert made fun of a WWE kiddie product, "WWE Ruthless Aggression & Pay-Per-View 6" Figures." The crowd laughed. Colbert added, "Not only do they promote ruthless aggression, but they're the best way to teach your kids to hit each other with folding chairs. That is a tough skill to learn"
- Paul Heyman was informed by Tommy Dreamer before he dressed up as him on the Halloween edition of ECW. Obviously he didn't seem to mind.
- Brock Lesnar's first MMA fight with the UFC will be against UFC heavyweight veteran Frank Mir. The fight takes place on pay-per-view on Feb. 2. In his blog at MMATorch.com, Jerry Cattelane writes: "There is no question that Lesnar has entered the deep end of the pool and that the talent development really thinks he has what it takes to be a contender. I didn't think there would be any shame in letting Lesnar fight a no-name, but in 2007, I guess the thought of getting the name fights in early is a good strategy. On paper, this doesn't look like a bad matchup at all. It'll be interesting to see what Lesnar brings to the cage. It's a little early for me to think about the winner, but my gut has me really leaning towards Lesnar"
