– The current plan for the combined ECW/Smackdown house shows for them to last until around Wrestlemania. As previously reported, there are no plans currently to have standalone ECW shows.
– Teddy Long spoke with WWE.com about protecting his Champion King Booker from RAW and ECW:
“We all know about ECW and RAW,” Long told WWE.com, “you never know what may happen when dealing with the likes of Paul Heyman and Jonathan Coachman. I’m not taking any chances.”
Long added that he wants to see SmackDown’s king become the absolute undeniable Champion of Champions. In order to see this plan come to fruition, Long said that he was considering finding someone to watch the World Heavyweight Champion’s back.
“I don’t want to reveal any plans that I have,” Long said. “I don’t want anything to leak out where the guys are one step ahead of me. But, I will guarantee you this: I will protect the World Heavyweight Championship. And I will protect King Booker.”
– WWE.com also has an interview with Kristal Marshall, who used to work on The Price is Right, about Bob Barker’s retirement news and a story on Vito posing for Playgirl.
