- The Big Show - real name Paul Wight - left WWE in the beginning of December 2006 after dropping the ECW title to Bobby Lashley during the Elimination Chamber match at the ECW pay-per-view 'December to Dismember'. Show wrestled another match following the PPV on ECW on Sci Fi and
eventually it was his last match with the company. Since he moved to ECW in June of that same year, Show went on a roll and won the ECW title on the July 4th edition of ECW on Sci Fi by defeating Rob Van Dam. Show said at the
time that he was leaving because he needed his injuries to heal up.
- With RAW starting to broadcast in HD on January 21st on USA Network, Smackdown! will follow that same week and the first SD! show in HD will be on January 25th on the CW Network. Last year CW announced that all their
original programming will be making the switch to high-definition including the WWE show. The Royal Rumble will also be shown in HD and all the shows from that week onwards will be broadcast in HD including ECW on Sci-Fi. WWE has reportedly spent over $20 million in purchasing new equipment and upgrade their TV and mobile facilities for the high-def switch.
- At the last set of Impact television tapings, the TNA wrestlers had to have physicals and get blood tests done on them. At the next set of tapings, they will be drug tested.
The drug testing will be elaborate and not limited to steroids. From what is known at this time, the testing will include drug enhancement substances, marijuana and all other recreational drugs.
- Dawn Marie was backstage at this weekend's Edison, NJ Ring of Honor show.
