– There was pretty much zero mainstream publicity over WWE refunding everyone's tickets at RAW in Green Bay aside from some local media. WWE also sent out a "Donald Trump Fired" press release which also hasn't been picked up by any national media outlets.
– The following is from Jeff Cohen: Bubba the Love Sponge had Ted DiBiase on last week to promote some Fathers Day event for FCW. They were going over his career and his favorite matches/opponents and of course discussed working with Hulk Hogan. Someone on the show asked about why Hogan never seemed to work a program with Jake Roberts. In fact, Bubba recounted a story he'd heard that Hogan did one test match with Roberts at a house show, then went and told McMahon, "I'm never working with that guy again." DiBiase stated that he had no knowledge of whether or not the story happened as Bubba recounted, and they went on to another subject. Hogan was on later that morning (Wednesday) and gave his side: Apparently he was willing to work with Roberts so they did the match. It was going according to the "Hogan script" except Hogan couldn't hear the crowd reacting to anything: the heel working him over, the cut-off comeback attempt, and the final Superman hulking up and leg drop. In Hogan's mind, that just meant that Roberts wasn't over enough as a heel to work with him in a main event program. I'd actually like to hear Jake's version of that story.
– Apparently Ken Anderson, formerly known as Mr. Kennedy in WWE, is up for a couple movie roles. He posted the following on Twitter: secondpower: Reading through 2 different scripts and working on a new website!
