ECW Rating Is In, Austin/MMA Story Update, Rhodes/FCW, & More

? IGN.com has a video interview with Florida Championship Wrestling commentator Dusty Rhodes. He talks about his role training WWE's developmental wrestlers.

? We reported here earlier this week that Stone Cold Steve Austin accidentally broke the nose of Paul Lazenby, the MMA fighter co-starring in Austin's new movie, "Damage." Lazenby tells TMZ.com: "I want to stress that this was NOT a case of negligence or incompetence, just one of those things that can happen even between skilled performers when they're swinging their fists at one another. I don't blame Steve at all." He added: "He just made a mistake that even the best stunt performers can make (and one of which I'm certainly not innocent). As a guy who's been a stuntman for eight years and a pro wrestler/fighter for 17, I think that I'm a fair judge of ability in those areas and I still rate Steve extremely highly as a film fighter and overall performer. I'd work with him again anytime."
