New WWE Announcer, Ric Flair, Rhodes/WWE Update, & More

From NYSWF Wrestling: Boxer Larry Barnes defeated wrestler Larry Sweeney in 1:04 in the fourth round of their Boxer vs. Wrestler Match in New Rochelle, NY on April 5. Special Guest Judges Pete Gas & Sam Roberts of The Opie & Anthony Show interfered during the third round but got a receipt from Barnes in the fourth round prior to Barnes pinning Sweeney.

Timmy Baltimore of Derby City Wrestling has been signed by WWE.

Adam Lebow sent this in: During the 2am/morning loop edition of TSN Sportscenter, before showing the Hornets/Warriors highlights, TSN showed Ric Flair doing the player introductions, but mostly him in his robe from Mania doing some 'Wooos' which propted anchor Holly Horton to say that Flair didn't really do anything in the introductions except have his pyro result in Chris Paul having to escape the smoke (they showed video footage of this happening).

WWE.com has an article up about Batista and CM Punk meeting with Make-A-Wish's "Circle of Champions" last Tuesday in Miami.

Several people within WWE felt Dusty Rhodes needed a change of venue, thus his move to developmental should be a good transition.
