-- Britney Spears has been mentioned quite a bit as of late on the company website and television broadcasts. Internally, a number of people are in the dark on what the deal is, but the feeling is that writers Brian Gewirtz and Michael Hayes -- who would be in WWE's "inner circle" - know something that others aren't aware of. It should also be noted that all mentions of Spears are planned and not a coicidence. There were talks of using her in late 2006 in the Kevin Federline angle, but her separation from him put an end to that. They approached her again to do a Royal Rumble-to-WrestleMania storyline, but she was such a mess at the time that they went with Donald Trump instead.

- The new RAW theme music CD is said to be a major disappointment. The album debuted at number 86 on the charts and moved to 66 during week two. Historically WWE CD’s open strong for two weeks and then fade off.

- To correct a report we made last week regarding Mick Foley retiring, it was only a prediction by Brian Fritz and not an actual announcement by Foley. Foley did however make indications on a radio show that retirement could be a possibility in the near future.
