* Jesse "The Body" Ventura is set to participate in a live chat which will be held at http://chat.msn.com/msnlive_feature.msnw?id=artist/jesseventura on March 23rd at 9pm EST to promote the release of the "Ringside Special Edition" of Beyond The Mat on DVD. The special edition of the documentary will feature a new commentary track with Ventura, Mick Foley, and director Barry Blaustein. It will also feature a special 16 minute roundtable "dinner discussion" with all 3.

* In an article that can be read in its entirety here, Brock Lesnar's former High School wrestling coach, John Schiley, stated that it was the recent tour of South Africa that pushed Lesnar to walk away from his WWE deal. Schiley stated, "He was tired of the grueling thing, he never had a day off, didn't have a weekend, every Sunday he worked, his weekends were Wednesday and Thursday and last night he was probably the most calmest, well rested I've ever heard him," said Schiley.

Schiley stated that Lesnar's current plan is to head to Arizona to work with a personal trainer, then eventually attempt to tryout for the Minnesota Vikings.
