* William Regal & Eugene's segment on RAW was edited down in the UK. UK TV Programme Code as set out by the UK's regulatory body Ofcom states the following on the portrayal of people with disabilities:
"There is a danger of offence in the use of humour based on physical, mental or sensory disability, even where no malice is present. Reference to disability should be included only where necessary to the context and patronising expressions replaced by neutral terms. It should be possible for people with disabilities to be included in programmes of all kinds."

Following last night's New Japan Pro Wrestling event in Tokyo, Japan, Director Uei had several important announcements to make. Among many announcements regarding upcoming New Japan talent and shows he made a comment about former WWE superstar Brock Lesnar.
Uei plans to contact World Wrestling Entertainment to negotiate the possibility of Brock Lesnar participating at New Japan's "NEXESS" at the Tokyo Dome on 5/3, which is said to be much like New Japan's equivalent Wrestlemania and will showcase many different wrestlers and styles of wrestling. If the negotiations could be pulled off, Lesnar will be facing rising star Hiroshi Tanahashi in what would be a huge matchup in Japanese wrestling.
