— As reported earlier, referee Marty Elias (real name Marty Rubalcaba) was let go this past week by WWE. In a trivia note, Rubalcaba’s daughter was the woman Hurricane Helms saved from falling off something in a backstage segment on ECW a few weeks ago.
— Next Tuesday’s SmackDown/ECW taping is almost sold out with a $280,000+ advance. It will actually be the first show in the city since hometown wrestler Chris Benoit’s double-murder suicide. It should be noted that there has been zero mention of the murders or any bad press in the city — at least yet. While next Monday’s Raw taping in Calgary isn’t sold out, it is said to be doing fine. Lastly, ticket sales for upcoming live events in Regina, Medicine Hat and Red Deer have been sluggish.
— Edge is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Power Slam, which asks if WWE can replace the long list of inactive WWE headliners with fresher stars.
