— WZR Radio did not air tonight as I am unable to contact my co-host (Matt Boone). I’m not sure what the deal is. If I am able to get a hold of him, we’ll do a show tomorrow night (Wednesday) from 7-9EST. I’ll post an update/confirmation here on the website once I find out what is going on.

— I’ve heard rumors that Steve Austin will be the special guest referee in the Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon match but I can’t confirm them just yet. We’ll see next week for sure.
— As noted earlier, Triple H mentioned in his promo last night on RAW that everyone who faces him at WrestleMania goes on to win a major world title. Here are more details on that sent in by reader Chris Woreman: In actuality, just facing Triple H at WrestleMania guarantees you a major world championship, with 1 exception. Since, WrestleMania XVI every person but one Triple H has faced at WrestleMania has gone on to win a major world championship. At WrestleMania XVI, Triple H defeated Mick Foley, The Rock and Big Show. Mick Foley had to go to TNA to get his World Championship, but they all would get another run with the world championship. At WrestleMania XVII, Triple H lost to Undertaker, who has had numerous runs with the title since then. At WrestleMania XVIII, Triple H defeated Jericho, a current World Champion. At WrestleMania XIX, Triple H defeated Booker T, who would go on to win a world championship. At WrestleMania XX, Triple H lost to Benoit in what would be Benoit’s only world title reign in a match with Shawn Michaels. Michaels is the lone “failure” among the list of opponents Triple H has faced in the last 11 years. Michaels has not won a major world championship since WrestleMania XX. At WrestleMania XXI, Triple H lost to Batista, a reigning world champion. At WrestleMania XXII, Triple H lost to John Cena who has held the world championship many times. At WrestleMania XXIV, Triple H lost to Randy Orton in a match with John Cena. Cena is less then 1 month removed from his last title reign. Orton has also held a world title multiple times since that match. At WrestleMania XXV, Triple H defeated Orton, who in the past year has held a world title multiple times since that match.
— WrestleMania weekend is turning into WrestleMania Week. Roddy Piper was recently announced as performing at the Tempe Improv in a stand-up show called “Roddy Piper & Friends,” which will take place on March 24 (Wednesday).
