– Sent in by 411 reader Kustard: WWE is advertising a Raw house show in Saginaw, Michigan on May 9th with the main event being Randy Orton vs. HBK vs. Umaga and Chris Jericho defending the Intercontinental Championship against JBL.

– WWE Kids Magazine officially comes out on 4/15.

– The pre-sale password for the 5/25 Smackdown house show in Loveland, CO is EDGE.

– The new issue of WWE Magazine features Joey Styles putting over Jim Ross for helping him transition to the WWE style of announcing. Styles says that he would not have lasted in WWE if it wasn’t for Ross helping him.

– Also in the magazine, Rey Mysterio says that when he came back from his knee injuries, he became concerned with trying not to hurt his bad knee again and thus started overcompensating on his other knee which hurt his in-ring performance.

– In the new issue of Time Out New York, Jesse Ventura is asked to compare pro-wrestling to the U.S. government and decide which is worse. Here is what he said: “Without a doubt, the government. Vince McMahon makes money. He’s profitable. Our federal government has put us $9 trillion in debt. It’s beyond my comprehension. If you did that in the private sector – Enron and WorldCom ring a bell? – you’d be locked up. And yet what will our media do? What will our history books do? They call these people “honorable” and write them up as heroes. They’re bankrupting America and we’re doing nothing about it. Excuse me for saying this…Actually don’t excuse me. We’re a bunch of lemmings.”
