* Today's New York Post's "Page Six" has a small blurb discussing Pete Rose and his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. They went as far to call it the "Hall of Shame".
* With all the speculation surrounding Howard Stern and his possible appearance at WrestleMania XX, he confirmed yesterday that he is not going to be at the event in any capacity. He did state that when discussing it with McMahon, he asked for $1million and Mcmahon only offered $5000. McMahon had suggested that Stern would be involved in a match somehow, but details never were ironed out before the negotiations stopped.
