- Although WWE did not have a huge presence at UPN's upfront presentation this Thursday, UPN still made nice remarks about the show, and promoted it very well. It was correctly referred to as Thursday's strongest show amongst male teenagers.
UPN still did refer to its strongest show, America's Next Top Model, as a stronger and more essential part of the network, especially since it brings in such a large part of the key young women market.
- Jerry Lawler was said to be downright embarrassed by the actions of Brian "Grandmaster Sexay" Lawler, and totally understood the rationale for the firing.
Sexay has a reputation for acting like a teenager in lockerrooms and is considered one of the worst-behaved wrestlers when it comes to backstage antics. WWE hired him recently with the hope that his attitude had improved, but clearly, it had not. The release was purely due to conduct, so speculation over his drug problem being a cause for THIS release is not true.
