Quick RAW Results: Rico/Jackie over Scott Steiner/Stacy, Dudley Boys over La Resistance via DQ, Christian over Spike Dudley, Eric Bischoff over Kane via CO, Molly Holly over Trish Stratus and Gail Kim, Hurricane over Rodney Mack, and Goldberg over Ric Flair.

Last night, the RAW crew was in Des Moines, IA, with the unexpected victory of Christian over Booker T to capture the Intercontinental Title. The unusual title change is due to Booker T's injured back, and he may be out 6-8 weeks for recovery. Also last night, the Smackdown crew was in Wichita, KS with Kurt Angle over Brock Lesnar and Big Show. Tonight, the Smackdown crew is in Kansas City, MO, and tomorrow night, they tape Smackdown in St. Louis, MO. 1wrestling says rumors about OVW and WWE ending their developmental relationship are false.

Mick Foley will appear on Conan O'Brien Wednesday night to promote his book. WWE is teaming up with Suncoast and Weekly Reader to encourage kids to read with free posters.

Planet Gamecube has captured the Wrestlemania XIX intro movie. IGN has a video of their version of Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar in Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain.

A Fulton County, GA judge has ruled that Hulk Hogan does not have enough evidence to support his defamation claims against Vince Russo from the Bash at the Beach 2000 incident. However, Hogan's suit over a WCW breach of contract for not allowing him creative control and not featuring him on 6 PPVs will proceed to trial. Today is also Hulk Hogan's 50th Birthday.

NWA TNA issued a preview for Wednesday's PPV. Included on the card are Raven vs. Shane Douglas, America's Most Wanted/Dusty Rhodes vs. Simon Diamond/Johnny Swinger/Glenn Gilberti, Michael Shane vs. Frankie Kazarian in a ladder match to determine the #1 X Title contender, Jerry Lynn vs. Elix Skipper, and 3 Live KRew vs. Devon Storm/Vampire Warrior/Sinn. Also, AJ Styles may defend his title, and Kid Kash may insult another legend. Mad Mikey was also on No Holds Barred radio discussing his new career in NWA TNA, Mattitude, his new name, and his 24/7 hardcore gimmick.

Ring of Honor is planning a Wrestlemania Eve show on March 13, 2004, in Elizabeth, NJ (near New York City) to give the wrestling fans in the area for Wrestlemania a chance to see their promotion. FAN SLAM! has added several ROH wrestlers to their convention, including Justin Credible, the SAT, Dan Maff and Special K.

Jimmy Hart was a guest on No Holds Barred radio, and he discussed Hulk Hogan, working with WWE, wrestling's decline, his upcoming book and a lot more. Canadian wrestler Precious Lucy is headed to Japan to wrestle for A to Z (formerly Arsion) under the new name LuFisto.
