Micheal Hayes did almost word for word, the promo that was planned for Flair last week. The "you kids get days off" line was written in due to many wrestlers complaining about the travel.

The boys are all weaning themselves off the roids, however some have prescriptions for roids and still aren't sure whether that is punishable or not. No tests have been done and no guideline has been set.

From Aug - Oct of 05 the WWE grossed 12 million dollars

Vince McMahon increased his yearly dividend from 24 million up to 47 million dollars.

During the conference call, they made sure some stockholders couldn't ask any questions - the WWE knows generally whose gonna ask the tough ???? and try to avoid them

HHH has a movie on tap, assuming Kane's and Cena's movies don't bomb - Afer HHH there's a plan for a Kurt Angle/Big Show buddy comedy. The WWE also wants to do made for TV movies

One Night Stand buyrate is up to 330,000 now....Vengence with HHH/Batista HIAC did 472,000

Each PPV isgiven a 2 million dollar budget by the WWE, and they only need 154,000 buys to break even

Jamal was half of the All Japan tag champs when he resigned in WWE. He quit Japan abruptly and did not job the belt.

Konnan is booking a Eddy Memorial card in Mexico. It is believed that WWE will let Beniot, Rey, Chavo, Psicosis and Crazy work it

CMLL wants Lesner to defend his IWGP belt in a one shot

A week or 2 after saying he was finished with Pro wrestling, Antonio Inoki stated he would start a group up if he had $$$ backers

Chris jericho lost his mother shortly after losing Eddy, and he has canceled Fozzy's remaining 2005 tour

Tommy Dreamer lost his mom recently as well

WWE is grossing a mere 14,000 average on house shows, making TNA's thinking of doing some seem pointless, since they won't make money

Beth Flair (Ric's soon to be Ex) spent 65,000 last year on clothes and 50,000 on Xmas

Ric Flair hasn't been paid since April, since the IRS is taking his wages

Beth said Flair used to expose himself in front of her friends

To keep him under wraps, Paul Heyman has been offered a new deal He is making 250,000 a year now

March will be the 1st SNME - with WM build

Eugene lost his hotel room key when he OD'd weeks ago, had he found it quicker, no trouble would have occured

Dave Meltzer's Raw is Night Court recap was hilarious IMO. Read it if you can find it.

Bret Hart in a recent interview RE: Shawn Micheals : "That's one Christian who should be fed to the lions"

Ricky Steamboat ref'd a recent house show and chopped Bob Orton jr

Dr Death/ Carlito and Arn Anddeson/Coach segments were on recent house shows as well.

I like the Johnny Polo picture better. Besides, too many people on other message boards are using it, so it seems less (a lot less) creative.

Scrooge showing his unoriginality since 5 minutes ago.

I should also point out even my user names haven't been my own. I think Swiggy came up with Scrooge Mcsuck, and you came up with JPAI.
