**WWE ‘Raw’ did a 3.7 rating Monday night compared to TNA ‘Impact’, which drew a 0.8.
**Tonight the ‘Smackdown’
and ‘NXT’ TV tapings take place in Los Angeles, California at the Staples Center.
**There was an earthquake
this morning just east of Los Angeles
but it will not affect the TV tapings tonight.
**Randy Orton Vs Ted
DiBiase Vs Cody Rhodes was officially added to ‘WrestleMania 26′ last night. I
have to say this angle has been a letdown and fizzled as the weeks have gone
on. They did that great angle a few months back with Ted DiBiase restraining himself
against Randy Orton in that match and that seemed to be the direction to go for
‘Mania but they have done every combination of matches and positioned Orton so
far above these two that there is no interest in the match.
**Stu Hart and Gorgeous
George were both announced last night for the Hall of Fame on March 27th (they had announced George earlier in the day via press release and they have
optioned the rights to George’s life story for a future WWE Studios film that
will begin production in early 2011). The entire Hart Family has been invited
to WrestleMania that weekend and most are expected to be attending.
**Dixie Carter on her

exporting of characters on a worldwide basis. The piece includes comments from Stephanie
McMahon-Levesque, Paul Heyman and others.
