- First, WWE loses it's first television deal...in Italy. Might not seem like a big deal from face value, but Smackdown was a very high rated show on this network, which was one of the most watched in the country. There is another network that will air Raw and ECW for the time being, though.

- A second raid was done on Dr. Astin's office. This time though, it was the DEA. Names are about to be named soon, and it won't only be Benoit's name that will pop out of it. The feds have started their own investigation, this time using a battering ram to get into the office, and Astin is nowhere to be found. His MOMMA'S house was even searched.

- After 4 days, the media is (somewhat) trying to get the story behind the story as far as the life of a full-time wrestler is concerned. Jermelle Hill wrote a decent article on ESPN's Page 2. Phil Mushnick lit into the media for waiting so long in the NY Post. Jim Litke admitted that the media rushed to judgement, but it was due to the high death rate among wrestling youth.

- While O'Reilly and Geraldo stunk up the story last night, Chris Jericho was said to come up pretty good on Nancy Grace last night (which is surprising considering how ignorant that woman is about this whole story). He was supposed to be on Greta Van Sustren tonight.
