- WWE.com says Kansas City Chiefs stars Eddie Kennison and Napoleon Harris dropped by the locker room last night before ECW went on the air. Harris tells WWE.com that he is a longtime WWE fan.
- To upate you on Candice Michelle, she has now been removed from the WWE.com preview for the Halloween Costume Contest at Cyber Sunday this weekend.
- The Boogeyman has been out of action with a calf injury since we last saw him on WWE TV. He is expected to return to ECW sometime in November.

- Several wrestlers who received the inquiry letter from Congress have said they refuse to talk to Congress about anything. Congress was very interested in whether Vince told wrestlers directly to get on steroids. The general belief is Congress knows they have nothing on Vince personally and won't much more happen with the whole situation.
- As previously posted, the future of ECW looks to be OK for now as WWE and Sci-Fi signed a one year extension for the program. Shane McMahon originally wanted ECW to be an internet only program, but once Vince saw the success of the One Night Stand PPV, he wanted to look for a cable deal for the brand. Sources say WWE wanted a long term deal for ECW on Sci-Fi, but NBC Universal didn't want to commit to that and said the one year extension wasn't open for negotiations. Vince took the deal obviously, but wasn't happy with it.

- One Soundscan source reports that Lilian Garcia's new CD didn't even break the Top 200, selling less than 3,800 units. The number 200 entry on the list sold 3,897.
- Final numbers are still coming in, but WWE's recent 19 show tour of Europe may be the most successful in history.
- More details are coming in on Kristal Marshall's release. According to one source, she had been caught lying to WWE writers a few times. Apparently she would tell people that Teddy or Vickie weren't happy with certain angles, then Teddy and Vickie would be upset when word got back to them about what Kristal had said. She was also known for ignoring feedback from WWE agents about her segments and matches at live events. Agents would ask her to sell beatings and instead she would just jump up and slap hands with the fans all the way to the back. There was a plan to move her from SmackDown to RAW since she is dating Bobby Lashley but as the heat piled up on her, Vince finally had enough and asked why were they investing in her. One plan had Vickie gaining power and firing Kristal about a week later once the Viagra angle went down. This would have been a legit firing, and not just a move to RAW.
