Smackdown scored a 3.4 (6 Share), which is the same as last week (although that was preempted in Los Angeles, CA). The peak quarter hour rating was for Eddy Guerrero vs. Rhyno. Smackdown helped put UPN in place third last night between 8-10pm. Tomorrow night's Confidential will feature a piece on Zach Gowen.

The Denver Post has a preview of Vengeance which takes place there Sunday. Rocky Mountain News also looks at WWE's current business. Australian WWE fans are preparing for next week's RAW Ruthless Aggression Tour. Wrestlemania XX may not have a fan AXXESS convention as other recent Wrestlemanias have.

Miami's UPN 33 did a post-Smackdown interview with Jim Ross in which he thanked Bischoff for firing him and discussed Austin's health. WWE.com has an article on a very odd Operation Enduring Freedom Inferno Match among the superstars that visited Kuwait. There's a recap of John Cena and Big Show's appearance on Byte This! yesterday.

1wrestling is reporting that Sylvan Grenier has backstage heat with the RAW roster because his quick push has reportedly gone to his head. They also have some possible spoiler information on upcoming character turns. Someone made a humorous prank call to CNN-FN's "Money & Markets" show doing an impression of Triple H.

The Undertaker's father Frank Calaway passed away Tuesday, which has caused his to miss recent events like the Asian tour. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has Q&A with Mick Foley about Tietam Brown. Tony Batalla at the Torch has a less positive review of Tietam Brown.

MLW's show tomorrow night will feature Abdullah the Butcher vs. Terry Funk and Steve Corino vs. Mike Awesome. One of Ernie Ladd's wrestling boots is part of an exhibit showcasing Orange, TX's black history, where Ladd grew up.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.
