    As of today the house show cards for this weekend's WWF shows have not been released on WWF.com. The only thing we do know is that Saturday's event in Philadelphia, PA is headlined by Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. RVD. Also, LoP correspondent Jeff Wilen who will be attending the Daytona show tonight, said that tonight's card will be headlined with Chris Jericho vs. Christian and Torrie Wilson vs. Stacy Keibler.

    Down in HWA, they are also playing off the Alliance losing storyline. At Tuesday's HWA taping, HWA's commissioner noted that the WCW wrestlers wouldn't be in attendance due to the Alliance losing at Survivor Series. It is unknown if this is just a storyline that HWA will play off, or if most of the developmental talent will get ready for a call up with the upcoming split promotions deal. More updates will follow.

    Ken Shamrock has cancelled his 11/27 UPW appearance due to other commitments in Japan.



    Last night's edition of Smackdown drew a low 3.7 overnight rating, but that is to be expected due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Last year's show drew a final 3.3 number, with the show the week before drawing a 4.8 rating, showing the impact the holiday usually has on the show. The final rating will probably not be available until Monday.

    Last night's backstage promo between The Rock and RVD was pulled from Smackdown for unknown reasons.

    Thanks to Jeff Wilen for sending this in:

    The Daytona Beach News-Journal ran a story on Torrie Wilson in Friday's newspaper. It's an excellent read which you can view HERE.



    Thanks to Mark Raymer for sending this in:

    ESPN.com ran a poll for readers to send in their choices for worst movie performances by an athlete. Hulk Hogan was #1 for No Holds Barred, #4 for Mr. Nanny, and even had a dishonorable mention for Santa With Muscles. Check it out HERE, it's pretty funny.
