- Bret Hart announced on Twitter that he will be hosting Breakfast Television in Calgary next Tuesday morning.

- WWE Tough Enough trainer Bill DeMott's book "The Last Laugh" is scheduled to be in print soon and available for purchase by the end of May.

- Up until when Edge retired, WWE was planning on holding the Draft in June. The two three-hour RAW shows in June were scheduled to be the Draft and King of the Ring. No word yet on what the other three-hour show will be used for but King of the Ring will still likely take place.

As noted before, WWE has re-written next week's RAW several times already and creative is said to be in a "panic mode" after having to change plans.

- John Morrison spoke with The Miami Herald this week. Here are some highlights:

Changes to his character:
"I think the main reason people take me more seriously now is my beard. I think that is the thing that has made the John Morrison character turn the corner and become looked at as a title contender. As someone people see or could see me in the ring with John Cena, The Rock and Steve Austin, even The Miz. I can’t believe I just said that, but The Miz is there. He is the WWE champion. All those guys were or are at the top for a reason. The more serious attitude, the aggression and the anger is something Johnny Nitro never had and John Morrison had been lacking prior to this year. I think I tapped into some very real things as would any method actor would."

His hopes for WrestleMania 28:
"I love Miami. I’m stoked that we are going there next year. If we are not going to be in Los Angeles, we may as well be in Miami. I love the sun. Next year I hope and expect to be main eventing WrestleMania. I want to come in as WWE champion or world champion or be involved in a WWE championship or world championship match."

Nice... but I doubt they will ever do anything with Regal

 

[Dr. Evil]

Nice... but I doubt they will ever do anything with Regal

He's an announcer on NXT. His future role in WWE, IMO is in a non-wrestling capacity. Same as Chavo Guerrero. Both can be useful in non-wrestling roles.

 

[bullets]

William Regal to Smackdown.

Now we'll get some Regal / Bryan matches

 

[chapin]

boring draft. the only "big move" is orton to smackdown

 

[Dr. Evil]

boring draft. the only "big move" is orton to smackdown

It was expected though when Adam "Formerly Sexton Hardcastle" Copeland retired and had one last five second pose with Christian.

They should of moved Cena. Kids can stay up late on Fridays .

 

[bullets]

Yoshi Tatsu to Smackdown

 

[MoPlaYa]

Im surprised none of the Nexus members got drafted yet

 

[MoPlaYa]

Yoshi Tatsu to Smackdown

Oh Yeah!!!

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

That Chinese dude to SD.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Yoshi Tatsu to Smackdown

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Y'all do know he's gonna get released like tomorrow right?

 

[MoPlaYa]

I doubt Yoshi will

 

[bullets]

This might save him but then again last year they drafted JTG then changed it back like 15 minutes later

 

[Hunter Rider]

Daniel Bryan
Cody Rhodes
Sin Cara
Kofi
Wade Barrett
McIntyre

That's a pretty good mid-card SD has there. Sheamus or Punk should have been drafted and made into the top heel on SD.

 

[MoPlaYa]

Yeah I see JGT being released before Yoshi

 

[bullets]

Drew McIntyre to Raw

 

[MoPlaYa]

Wow Raw has tons of Heels and SD have very few
