– This week's episode of ECW On SyFy did a 1.2 rating.
– FightLine.com is reporting that UFC star Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson will be playing the role of B.A. Baracus, made famous by Mr. T, in a remake of The A-Team scheduled to be filmed next year.
– Site reader Gaz writes: "The Floyd Mayweather appearance on Raw received coverage on Sky Sports News here in the UK today. They said he 'caused havoc' on the show, talked about him restarting his feud with Big Show and said he was friendly with MVP. They showed him making the match between MVP/Henry and Show/Y2J as well as talking about how he caused MVP/Henry to win by passing the foreign object to MVP. The presenter was very complimentary about WWE in general, calling it 'brilliantly promoted'. It was interesting to see it picked up, although they didn't mention his upcoming fight with Marquez. It's not often that news outlets in the UK pick up things like this, and it's not a slow news day by any means, so the WWE should be happy with the publicity."
– Tickets for WrestleMania next spring will be going on sale November 7th at 10:00 AM.
