-Believe it or not, there are no major wrestling events today. No ceremonies, no pay-per-views, no television tapings, no fanfest activities, nothing. The WWE crew is understandably exhausted and ready for some R&R. Nevertheless, it will be a very busy day here on Dot Net. Along with the usual news updates (including multiple Dot Net Exclusive stories), I'll be posting more of your favorite Ric Flair memories.

-Also, check back for a new Dot Net Podcast later today. For those of you who are new to the site, they are free like everything else on Dot Net.

-Two matches planned for WWE Backlash are Undertaker vs. Edge for the World Hvt. Title, and Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero for the ECW Title, according to WrestlingObserver.com.

-The new Heyman Hustle features Paul Heyman discussing politics with Ice T and his Playboy Playmate wife Coco. Check it out at the UK Sun.

-Trish Stratus chimed in on the BunnyMania match during an interview with Fight Network Radio's Jason Agnew. "I think there is a place for it because particularly there is a deal with Playboy so there is obviously a place for it," she said. "There always will be, but I really think they could always provide the other additional idea, that is kind of what I did, I had the women's storyline going for the women's championship and then it's like Beth is the champion and there is no women's championship match. So I just... boo hoo, I don't like it. I don't like it one bit." [Thanks to Dot Net reader Adam Lebow]

-Final WrestleMania 24 Poll: Which match did you least enjoy? I left out the women's match in tribute to Santino Marella, who didn't deserve the treatment he received from the Divas on Monday. Here's to you, Santino! Actually, I know a number of people automatically vote for the Divas matches and I'm curious to find out what you all think of the non-Diva matches from the show.
