Lance Storm officially finished up with Ohio Valley Wrestling on Thursday and was given a "sendoff" by the crew in OVW. Storm will now be heading home to Calgary to finish up any details regarding his new wrestling school. For more on Storm's wrestling school, click here.

Eugene is scheduled for a return to the WWE house show circuit for an August 6 RAW house show in Albany, NY at the Pepsi Arena. Nick "Eugene" Dinsmore has been working in OVW since making brief appearances here and there on WWE TV. It remains unclear if he will become an active character on TV again.

The following press release was issued on XWFDVD.com:

“LOST” XWF SHOWS FINALLY AVAILABLE ON DVD

One year ago, after nearly three years in limbo, Jimmy Hart acquired the rights and chattels to the XWF for $100,000. In addition to the ten one hour episodes that were filmed at Universal Studios in 2001, he obtained the ring, the belts and a mountain of behind the scenes footage and interviews. He was determined that although the XWF wasn’t ever given the chance it deserved, he would persevere and make sure that somehow the fans would finally get a chance to see what so many worked so long and hard to produce. Now that time is here.

On Sunday night, July 10, during “Hogan Knows Best” on VH-1 (check listings for times), fans will get their first opportunity to order the first 3 DVD set in the series along with details on how to win a day with Hulk Hogan.
