-"The Definitive Ric Flair Collection" is released today. Here's a list of Flair's match opponents on the DVD along with the dates (courtesy of Amazon.com): Jack Brisco (Aug. 18, 1982); Kerry Von Erich (Aug. 24, 1982); Harley Race (Aug. 31, 1983), Flair and Arn Anderson and Ole Anderson vs. Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A. and Manny Fernandez (Dec. 15, 1985); Sting (March 27, 1988); Terry Funk (July 23, 1989); Roddy Piper (Oct. 28, 1991); Ricky Steamboat (Apr. 17, 1994); Triple H (Nov. 1, 2005); Shawn Michaels (March 30, 2008).
-Flair's farewell address on Raw is listed as a special feature. It's complete with footage of Undertaker and Vince McMahon coming to the ring, which did not air on Raw. The list price is $19.99 at Amazon.com.
-WWE is taping Smackdown and ECW tonight in Baton Rouge, La. WWE is not advertising any matches for tonight's show. I assume we'll get plenty of followup to the Edge and Vickie Guerrero saga from last week. If you attend the tapings and can file a report, please send it to dotnetjason@gmail.com.
-TNA's Moose underwent surgery yesterday to repair her broken femur. The feeling of multiple sources within the company is that it was foolish of her to attempt such a high-risk move on an indy show. That being said, I watched the Youtube footage and it was hard to tell how high up she was when she jumped. It's gruesome footage, but you can check it out at Youtube.com.
-THQ issued a press release on Monday to announce that Triple H and Shawn Michaels will be on the cover of the 2009 WWE Smackdown vs. Raw video game. The game will be available on all major platforms, but the company has yet to list a release date.
-Although the Zap2it.com listings show that "ALF" reruns will air in Smackdown's usual time slot this Friday night on Chicago's WGNTV, the station's website shows Smackdown listed in its usual slot. You can see the listing by clicking here.
-There are no AWA match listings for the entire week at the ESPN website.
