- Ric Flair said during a twenty minute interview with Peter Rosenberg on Hot 97 in New York City today that he is not finished with wrestling yet and will be back on SmackDown. Flair, however, did not give a timetable for his return. Also in the interview The Nature Boy compared today’s wrestling from the product fifteen years ago.

- Edge will be a guest on the Ron & Ian show tomorrow morning on Tampa’s sports channel 620 WDAE. It is unknown what time Edge will be on the show but it airs from 9 AM to Noon Eastern.

- WWE is promoting Shawn Michaels and Triple H taking on WWE Champion Randy Orton and Umaga in a dark match main event for the November 26th edition of RAW from Charlotte, North Carolina.

Newsday.com posted an article yesterday claiming that former WWE Heavyweight champion Chris Jericho was rumored to return at last night’s SmackDown tapings in Long Island, NY. The article states:

Tonight promises to be a homecoming on two different fronts for Jericho. Not only will he be signing copies of his recently published memoirs, "A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex" at the Carle Place Barnes & Noble at 5 p.m., but he is rumored to be making his return to the ring after a two-year hiatus at the Nassau Coliseum for a taping of WWE's "Smackdown!" program.

Of course Jericho did not return last night and it is still unknown if he was backstage or not. It appears that Vince is saving Jericho’s return and it is being kept highly confidential.

Raven filed a notice of opposition over TNA Wrestling’s registration of the 'RAVEN' trademark, in October last year. Almost a year later, in September, TNA sent an answer responding to claims which Raven issued in his opposition. TNA want the judge to dismiss Raven’s notice and allow them to register the trademark.

Hulk Hogan recently transferred ownership of all his trademarks from himself to his limited liability company called, 'Hogan Holdings Limited'. Trademarks include, Hulk Hogan, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Hulkster, Hogan Knows Grillin, Hulkamania.com, Hulkapedia.com and Paul The Giant Wight which is used in boxing contests.

Tickets for next year’s WWE Judgement Day pay-per-view will go on sale on May 18th at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Tickets are priced, $250, $90, $70, $50, $35 & $25.
