On ESPN radio in New York, Stephen A. Smith talked about how he's a big wrestling fan, saying his favorites were Ric Flair, The Road Warriors, Magnum T.A., and "The American Dream, Dusty Baker." He said his all-time favorite was Bill Goldberg and said Vince McMahon made a mistake not keeping him. A caller then said Bobby Lashley is the new Goldberg. Smith said there will never be another Goldberg and there will never be another Flair.

Ric Flair attended the NFC Championship Game between the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, January 21st. He was scheduled to do an announcement video at the start of the game.

WWE's "Born To Controversy: The Roddy Piper Story" is ranked #6 on Billboard Magazine's current Top 10 Recreational Sports DVD list.

Brad Armstrong recently started a stint as color commentator on TV for WWE's developmental organization Deep South Wrestling. He style was thought to be serious old school and no comedy whatsoever. Armstrong also referred to the DSW Tag Team Titles as belts, which according to rumor, is against Vince McMahon orders as he has said that all titles in WWE and the developmetal feds are to be called "titles" on TV not "belts" or "straps".

WWE officially announced the signing of Nattie Neidhart, daughter of Jim Neidhart, to a developmental deal on January 16th. She is a third generation wrestler and the first female brought to the company by the legendary Hart Family.
