Daily Rapp Up by Bryan Rapp

Quick RAW Results: La Resistance/Mark Jindrak/Garrison Cade over Booker T/Rob Van Dam/Dudley Boyz, Batista/Randy Orton/Ric Flair over Hurricane/Rosey, Chris Benoit over Matt Hardy, Molly Holly over Lita, and Steven Richards over Chris Jericho.

The RAW crew was in Baltimore, MD last night with HHH over Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit. There are already off air notes and international Heat spoilers from tonight's RAW. Smackdown will be taped in Atlantic City, NJ tomorrow night, and is the final WWE wrestling event prior to Wrestlemania. Ric Flair hosts Wrestlemania's 10 Greatest Matches tomorrow night at 10pm EST on SpikeTV.

Brock Lesnar is reportedly unhappy with WWE and may take time off after Wrestlemania due to concerns over his character's development and dissatisfaction with travel and post-Wrestlemania plans for him to feud with Undertaker. John Cena did a couple Boston, MA area radio interviews and revealed he broke bones in his right hand during last week's Smackdown match against A-Train, but didn't indicate it would affect his Wrestlemania match. Chris Jericho appeared on ESPN 2's Cold Pizza this morning to promote Wrestlemania.

TV Guide has an article on the biggest wrestlers of the Wrestlemania era, although their list is a bit questionable. WWE set up a Hall of Fame exhibit at Toys R' Us across the street from where The World/WWE NY used to be located in New York City's Times Square. WWE will hold a Wrestlemania XX press conference on Thursday at noon at Planet Hollywood in New York City. WWE posted a brief history of Undertaker and Kane's relationship, and updated the evening gown match page.

WWE donated a selection of pay-per-view events representing Wrestlemania's evolution to the Museum of Television & Radio, with screenings this week in New York. WWE announced a new Think Outside The Ring trade ad campaign aimed at attracting new advertisers and business partners. WWE filed their Form 10-Q quarterly report for the third quarter which ended on January 24.

Droz's latest commentary covers Mick Foley's DVD, Mark Jindrak's basketball skills, and his trip to Disneyworld. Tazz's former high school, Franklin K. Lane High School, is the New York City's most hated due to crime, crowding and low test scores.

Someone claiming to be Rob Feinstein wrote a statement to the media about the allegations he's facing and his involvement with Ring of Honor and RFVideo. 1wrestling has since removed the statement because they've been unable to confirm it's actually from him, but if you missed it, here's a mirror. PWInsider didn't run the statement because the email headers didn't match his AOL.com email address.

Some people believe Feinstein is still involved with Ring of Honor behind the scenes, but booker Gabe Sapolsky strongly denies that Feinstein is involved or ever will be again. Abyss and Roddy Piper have pulled out of Ring of Honor's show this weekend due to Feinstein concerns, and the Christopher Street Connection has also been removed by the promotion due to the situation. Samoa Joe expressed his support for Ring of Honor, but said Feinstein's acts were "beyond excuse and explanation." Dan Maff also issued a statement expressing his support for the promotion, and anger towards Feinstein.

Roddy Piper did an interview with Stepping Out Magazine challenging Vince McMahon to come to this weekend's Ring of Honor show, but that's pretty much irrelevant now. Bobby Heenan and Tom Cole were the guests on Wrestling Observer Live last night, with Heenan discussing his book and career, and Cole discussing the Rob Feinstein and WWF sex scandals. Daniel P. Finney of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch has a review of several wrestling DVDs.

Tony Atlas is making a return to Canada on Thursday for Chris Drury's Ring Wars promotion. Alex Shane of the UK's FWA appeared on TalkSPORT radio to discuss his confrontation with Jake "The Snake" Roberts, although others believe it was a work or exaggeration. Representative Alan Powell of Hartwell, GA is attempting to pass a bill to regulate wrestling in Georgia, requiring each promotion to pay a one-time fee of $1000 and $250 for each match.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.
