? In an update on Sean Waltman showing up late to the iMPACT tapings several weeks ago, he apparently gave the excuse to management that he was battling the stomach flu. He was on-time at the most recent set of TNA TV tapings.

? Hulk Hogan was in noticeable pain last Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Wrestlers were surprised that he was able to jog backstage at the end of Monday's show because he was struggling to get around backstage because of his recent hip surgery.

? Last night's edition of ECW on SyFy drew 1.158 million viewers, for a 0.9 cable rating.
