-WWE.com has a poll up about Vince McMahon’s “Major Announcement” last night bringing back Matt Hardy asking if it was a good or bad “business decision”. The current results have it as 83.66% saying that it was a good decision with 16.33% saying a bad decision.

-TSN (the network in Canada that airs WWE Monday Night Raw) cut away from Kane grabbing Lita during the Edge/Kane stretcher match to show some fan signs. What is amusing about this is that TSN obviously went to old footage of fans holding signs up in the arena as some of them claimed "HHH is next!", "HHH: fear the spear". Obviously when TSN wants to censor something WWE is showing live, they should probably update their cut away shots as the Goldberg/Triple H feud was 2 years ago and Goldberg no longer works for World Wrestling Entertainment.

-In case anyone was wondering if Shawn Michaels' claims (from his segment last night) were true about WWE not visiting Battle Creek Michigan, McCulloch informed PWInsider.com that he would attend the shows from 1987 – 1992 and never saw Hulk Hogan appear. WWE has only had a small amount of shows in Battle Creek ever, with most originating from the Kellogg Center Arena. Coincidently it doesn’t appear that Michaels was a headliner there as well as when he was World Champion; WWE was not running shows in Battle Creek at all. The most they ever ran there in one year was 5 shows in 1987 which were mostly B card shows which would explain the absence of Hogan as WWE at that time ran split cards.
