Batista missed this weekend's Smackdown/ECW house shows because he was sent overseas to promote WWE and WrestleMania 24. (PWI) Did anybody complain?

Paul Bearer (Undertaker's former manager) is scheduled to be at the Smackdown/ECW taping tomorrow in Biloxi, Mississippi. No word yet on if he will actually appear on the show or will just be there visiting friends. (PWI)

WWE has announced that Chris Jericho will kick off Raw tonight with the Highlight Reel featuring guest Big Show, and Raw tonight will also feature John Cena & Randy Orton vs. the entire Raw roster as ordered by Triple H. (WWE) Also they are now promoting the WrestleMania Money in the Bank Ladder Match as featuring seven participants, which means Jeff Hardy isn't being replaced in the match after all.

Speaking of the Big Show, he is scheduled to appear on Late Night with Conan O'Brien this Friday. (411)

The Fort Wayne Journal has an article up about Amy 'Lita' Dumas and her experience with her punk band, The Luchagores. You can read the full article here.

PhillyBlurbs.com has an interview up with Maria where she says Trish Stratus knocked out one of her tooth fillings in a match and she never told anyone; and claims she has been getting offers to pose in Playboy since she was 19. You can check it out here.

Stacy Keibler appears to be ready to unload all of her wrestling gear on eBay! Here's what she told the Baltimore Sun about it.

I was delighted to learn about the interest in my things being offered on eBay. As you can imagine, I have accumulated so much during my 7-year run in wrestling. I would love to keep everything, but it's simply a lack of storage space. It was great for me to reminisce and at the same time be able to give back to my loyal fans who have appreciated my contribution to wrestling. There is a variety of dresses, skirts, shoes, boots, lingerie and bikinis. We are finalizing the certificate of authenticity and articles should be ready to go in about 2-3 weeks.


The WrestleMania AXXESS Tour hits Miami, FL this weekend with appearances by Layla El, Gene Okerlund, Hillbilly Jim, and Jimmy Hart. (PWI) Thankfully Kiebler's items won't be closing on eBay at the same time, so all of you sitting at your PC with a hand on the F5 button won't have to choose between the two!

Good news for The Rock - The Game Plan has now grossed $29.9 million internationally. (PWI) I still say it's a terrible movie though.

A few WWE tidbits to close this update - Rev Theory is set to perform his hit song, "Light it Up" at WrestleMania 24. (411) WWE diva Kelly Kelly has relaunched her website at www.kellykellywwe.com if you're interested. Last but not least if you want to read Al Snow's thoughts on getting released by WWE you can read a radio interview recap here.
