There are off air notes and Heat spoilers from RAW last night in Montreal, QB. Goldberg had a scheduled match against La Resistance for RAW, but it was pulled due to an arm infection. The Smackdown crew was in Cleveland, OH last night with Brock Lesnar over Kurt Angle and the Big Show. There are also results from Sunday night's show in Ocean City, MD with Shelton Benjamin/Charlie Haas over Rhyno/Chris Benoit. Smackdown is being taped in Toronto, ON tonight, so spoilers should be out early.

Mick Foley was a guest on this morning's Today Show and was interviewed by Matt Lauer about his new novel Tietam Brown. USA Today has an article on Tietam Brown, too, and Foley also announced additional book signing dates in cities around the country. Billy Kidman appeared on Canada's The Socre last night and discussed his shoulder recovery, cruiserweights and his upcoming wedding to Torrie Wilson. Eddy Guerrero and Zach Gowan will be the guests on Byte This! on Thursday. WWE has a Bad Boys II promotional website with a contest and comments from WWE wrestlers about the first movie.

Bret Hart posted a statement on his website saying he has never received an apology from Shawn Michaels. Michaels said he had apologized to Hart for the Montreal incident, and he was likely referring to an Off the Record interview he did on TSN. Atlanta's Creative Loafing examines life after wrestling from Larry Zbyszko, Abdullah the Butcher, and Ray "Glacier" Lloyd. Diamond Dallas Page posted a new State of the Union address to update fans on his current activities in California.

Business Week has an article on some of WWE's business problems lately and whether the company might be better off going private again. Spike Lee cited free expression as a reason he decided to settle with Viacom over the Spike TV name.

NWA TNA's PPV tomorrow night will feature AJ Styles defending the NWA Championship against D'Lo Brown, America's Most Wanted vs. Simon Diamond/Johnny Swinger, Jeff Jarrett vs. Legend, Jerry Lynn/Erik Watts vs Kid Kash/Abyss, and part two of the Sting interview. Negro Casas and Shocker, who were previously advertised, are off tomorrow's PPV due to scheduling conflicts. In its place, a six man X Division match between Frankie Kazarian, Matt Sydal, Derek Wylde, Eric Young, Matt Stryker and Kid Romeo will take place.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.
