-- CM Punk & Elijah Burke were very happy work a tag match with Ric Flair on ECW a few weeks ago. Backstage, Burke asked Flair to sign his wrestling trunks and Punk was moved to tears saying it was due to working as Flair's tag team partner in one his final matches before he retires.

-- CW may regret losing SmackDown come next year. Last week, CW averaged a 1.5 rating and MyNetworkTV was up to 0.9. If you take away SmackDown's numbers from CW and give them to MyNetworkTV, they're about neck-and-neck for fifth place in the network ratings battle.

-- Chris Jericho was on Pittsburgh's ESPN Radio 1250 with Mark Madden Friday from 4:40-5:00
Here are the highlights:
Jericho says that Chyna is too busy being drunk all of the time, and being high. He called his and Chyna’s intercontinental title run as the best angle in history.
Jericho believes the MITB ladder match is the best part of mania just because it’s a new spectacle where creativity is a must, since there is so many ladder matches, it has to be different. He also promises something unique and never seen before in a ladder match.
Is Mania Flair’s last match?: Jericho thinks flair will have his last match, but thinks he will come back as a special guest ref or a backstage talent.
Flair: he compares him to Gordie Howe, as older and slower but his instincts are better than 60% of the other wrestlers and is mentally great. Jericho reflects flair and says Ric is he is one of the only guys who cares and gives legit advice to the younger wrestlers. He calls him a friend and a really good dude. Not the greatest of all time, but top 5 or top 3.
They make fun of DDP, since Madden was fired because of DDP while at WCW, and Jericho calls him the best wrestler ever, most likely a joke!!
He picks Pittsburgh and Calgary in the Stanley Cup.
