— This week’s WWE Classics Five Star Match of the Week was selected by Matt Striker. He picked a Best of Three Falls Match between Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko that aired on the August 26, 1995 episode of ECW TV. He told WWE.com: “During this time, I had dreams of being a professional wrestler. I would study these tapes and steal these moves. I tried to emulate Dean and Eddie to a tee and I was nowhere near as talented as either of those guys. Watch that match and see the story that these two men are telling. There are no catchphrases. There are no T-shirts being sold. There’s no cool fanfare on a TitanTron behind you. It’s just two guys in a dingy wrestling hall in front of true wrestling fans doing what the sign on the arena says. They are wrestling. The ovation, the appreciation, the camaraderie and the brotherhood is something that transcends all of sports, all of pop culture. For one brief moment, you believed in what Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko were doing. And because of those men and their dedication to our craft, that moment that you believe stays with you for the rest of your life.”
— Ezekiel Jackson told fans on Twitter that he will be back very soon. He has been out for months due to injury.
— Paul Heyman will wrestle at Madison Square Garden tonight against Ryback. He wrote on Twitter: “The storm pounding New York City tonight is NOTHING compared to the beating I’m handing Ryback tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden!”
