Reports that Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart was arrested turn out to have been incorrect.

He was never incarcerated or in police custody at any time. (PWI)

The following video link is Shane Helms' Thoughts on Edge's Retirement.

Bret Hart offers his thoughts on WWE shedding the word wrestling. "I'm kind of scratching my head about that. I don't know that it makes any difference. Wrestling is wrestling. Call it whatever name you want, it's still wrestling. I think WWE is synonymous with wrestling. If WWE doesn't stand for World Wrestling Entertainment then what does it stand for? It may be a case of Vince trying to monopolise wrestling even more than he has. I think a lot of the wrestlers today, judging by the styles they have, they are wrestlers. They are not bodybuilders or powerlifters or strongmen like in the days of Hulk Hogan, where it was more the look. The young stars today don't want to be Hulk Hogan. They want to be Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels."

Here's The Rock on Jimmy Kimmel, and here's part two.

4:00 PM ET. JCW's 4/20 iPPV is only $5. They are promoting Sabu, Rhino, Colt Cabana and Jimmy Jacobs as part of the show.

Doctors have determined Jeff Jarrett's ribs aren't broken - just severely bruised. (WO)
