* Since replacing Jim Ross as head of talent relations, Johnny Ace has received tremendous amounts of heat and found the job to be much more strenuous than first believed. His mess ups have resulted in Lita missing her scripted part at RAW with Kane which had to be rewritten to be just only Kane, Vince having to send his private jet to pick up wrestlers and Ace in Florida and Snitsky in Dallas due to his poor planning. McMahon believes the day of live shows/tapings should have as few disruptions as possible.

* At a recent WrestleMania press conference in Los Angeles at the future site of WM 21, the Staples Center, Vince McMahon hinted that there will be interpromotional matches at WrestleMania 21. McMahon stated that while there are 14 PPV events per year, and four of them are dual-brand Raw/Smackdown events, WrestleMania will be the only PPV where wrestlers from different brands allowed to compete against each other.
