- In another note from Hulk Hogan's appearance on ESPN's Sports Nation with Michelle Beadle this week, Hogan said he wasn't sure what happened with his banner that was removed from the rafters at Madison Square Garden just one night after it was put up for Hulk Hogan Appreciation Night. After fans noticed the banner was missing earlier this month, WWE issued this statement:
"The banner was a part of our show and was never intended to stay at MSG."
- Steve Austin tweeted the following about WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar signing a new multi-year deal with the company this week:
Happy to hear Brock Lesnar has signed a deal w @WWE. Terrorizing the federation for a few more years. Give em hell, champ. #WM31
