-PWInsider reports former ECW champ Justin Credible, who lives in the New England area, is backstage visiting at the Backlash PPV. It’s the second time in recent months he’s popped up visiting at WWE events.

The following is an excerpt from Haas WWE Universe blog.

SO now, the question is….or should I say the statement is : Smackdown, here comes the Haas! Being on the Raw Roster has brought me back into the WWE but now that I am returning to SD, I can honestly say that I feel a bit more at home! From the matches of Team Angle, Rico . Miss Jackie & I (whatever you want to call that matchup) and WGTT…I have always called Friday Nights “home”. LET ME KNOW ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS FOR HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ME BACK IN ACTION! I know that I have several of my own and if I have anything to say about it - you will see me DO something about it!! Read the complete entry here.

Mike Mooneyham of The Post and Courier in today’s article talks about former WWF ring announcer Charlie Minn. Minn was an ring announcer who worked for WWE (World Wrestling Federation at the time) in 1994 for only six months. Now being 15 years later he believes he has more insight to give to the WWE and hopefully redeem himself.

“I would love to return to the WWE. I feel that I have a story to tell,” he says.

Minn, 39 of Korean descent, believes now that WWE is global he has more to add being of an Asian background.

“The fact that WWE is global … just having an Asian announcer now would be more visible than 15 years ago. I was just a kid, a few years out of college, 15 years ago. I’m still young and feel I could go back and do a good job. People say you’re in your prime in your 40s as an on-air person.

“I don’t know if they’ve ever had another Asian announcer. Most of Vince’s Asian talents have been managers and performers. Wrestling is popular in Asia. With the Internet, the reach and visibility would be tremendous if he decided to go back in my direction,” says Minn.

“If you’re Asian and you’re on the air, it’s a rallying cry for Asian people because they’re so underrepresented in the business. I’ve been very popular with the Asian audience in every city I’ve worked in.” read the complete article ..Shawn Michaels taking much-needed break

-This update is from The Hardy Show Tamran who runs the Myspace for Jeff, Matt and Shannon. This update is from Myspace bulliten:

tamran here…ok i’ve gotten a lot of emails about me being on the fake jeff account on facebook. first of all i am on facebook. i did add the fake jeff to see what he was doing and saying to get him taken down. so if you see my profile there it is me. my name on facebook is “tamran sullivan thigpun”.

as you can clearly see no where have i made a post on the wall. that is an update this fake put up using my name. this is a FAKE! it’s not real!!! i do not run it or have anything to do with it. i added them to check up on them and i was shocked they actually approved me! now they are using me to get it over.
i don’t think so loser!

ALL MATT, JEFF and BETH’s are FAKES on facebook!! none of them have a page over there!!!!!

i will be deleting him from my list and going about this in another way. so faker…you will get taken down. it’s just a matter of time. you shouldn’t have used my name.

the fake jeff has something up there right now sayin that it’s me and something about getting all jeff’s shut down or something. so clearly this FAKE knows who i am. well not that i’m a big secret. but now using me to get them over. well no more. here is a cap of the fake jeff’s page with the message he has up using MY name. please click the thumbnail to make this bigger so you can see it clearly.

-WWE diva Maria has been on Smackdown for an couple of weeks. Here she has updated her Twitter account:
What’s up all you stars and studs? Sorry for not being on. I have been working on something which you’ll find out soon twitters

-Jim Ross has posted his thoughts for this Sunday’s WWE Backlash predictions:

Backlash will fill the Dunkin’ Donuts Arena this Sunday night with nary a Krispy Kreme in sight. Should be a big night for Tim White’s Friendly Tap as well as it will be an exciting evening in Providence, Rhode Island. Here are a few predictions on the pay per view:

The Khali Kiss Kam….may scare small children and make even “The Fink’s” hair raise. I’m begging for a closed mouth, Hollywood kiss.

C.M. Punk vs. Kane….two Smackdown wrestlers face off and I have to give the nod to “The Big, Red Machine” in this one even though Punk’s Muay Tai strikes might lead to a “Chicago Made” win.

Jericho vs. Steamboat….I love Ricky Steamboat and have all the respect for him in the world but unfortunately Jericho doesn’t and will likely win this match. I hope that I’m wrong.

Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy….Who will say “I Quit?” I’m guessing Jeff Hardy finally beats his older, insecure brother.

Jack Swagger vs. Christian….be careful of wrestlers with only one name, JACK! Christian left WWE for a long “hiatus” and returned to win titles so here’s Captain Charisma’s chance. If Christian doesn’t win Sunday his road back to the Promised Land will go from being a freeway to being a gravel road.

WWE Title Bout….this is a unique way, to say the least, to put the WWE Title on the line and almost impossible to predict. Until someone beats The Game, he’s my pick but Randy Orton has become a huge star, has momentum, and even has his share of fans. Orton will no doubt be WWE Champion again but will his next reign start this Sunday?

World Title Bout….Did Edge essentially win the title Monday night after scrambling John Cena’s brains with a concharito? That’s what I’m thinking plus Edge is a desperate man who is down to his last chance to come out on top of Edge’s biggest rival. I give the “slight lean” to Edge in this one but I’m rarely right and suggest that you do no wagering. Read the complete blog entry.

Here is the complete line up for this Sunday’s April 26, 2009 WWE Backlash in Providence, Rhode Island at 7:45 p.m.

-Slam Wrestling has photos of Booker T’s Charity Fanfest that helped raised over $60,000 for needy kids. You can see the wrestling superstars who attended the event here. Even current WWE superstars Chavo Guererro ’s father, Chavop Sr. attended the event.
