– NBC is said to be very happy with the success of Hulk Hogan's new show, American Gladiators. It finished in the #9 slot among all shows on television in the 18-49 age group last week. It was behind only heavyweight programming such as the NFL playoffs, Law & Order SVU, CSI, Family Guy and a few others.

– Thanks to site reader WWE2ECW1991 for passing along that Lena Yada's profile on WWE.com has been moved to the ECW section.

– Tomorrow night's TNA Global Impact on Spike TV will only air one match, Kurt Angle vs. Yuji Nagata. The rest of the show will be footage of TNA talent's trip to Japan.

– ECW on Sci-Fi scored it's regular 1.2 broadcast rating last night.

– One of the ideas being tossed around by the WWE creative team right now is to have Ashley Masssaro in a serious program with Beth Phoenix, with Ashley eventually winning the Womens championship.
