MISCPaul London has surgery on his nose this past Thursday. He suffered a break during a match with Booker T and needed to get it fixed, thus the stretcher angle with Billy Kidman. I am not sure how long he will be out of the ring or if he will appear on TV in a non-wrestling role until he is ready to wrestle again.
WWE's 1/5/05 PPV will be titled "New Year's Revolution." The event will be the first WWE PPV to be held in Puerto Rico.
There are plans for Ultimo Dragon to return to WWE in a heel role using his last name of "Asai" and working unmasked. The planned back story is that Dragon returned to Japan to find himself and his true calling as a warrior. There is talk of putting him into a faction with Kenzo Suzuki as well, although that hasn't been confirmed.

Dan sent this one. ... I received a call today from a Nancy with World Wrestling Entertainment. She said she was working out of Toronto. She called me because she knew I had attended WMXX and she wanted to ask about what I spent money on while I was in New York City and if WrestleMania was the reason, or partially the reason for me being in the city. She asked if I spent money in local stores, restaurants or parking garages. She asked if I stayed the night, how many people I brought with me, and how much we spent. Not sure if this is a common WWE practice, but it was interesting. I suppose they're collecting data to sell WM to other cities in the future.
