Lacey Von Erich was really upset over how her interview with the Miami Herald came out. This of course was regarding quotes attributed to her where she inadvertently rips Angelina Love. On her Twitter account late last night, she wrote: "Angelina Love was amazing in The Beautiful People and I hope I do it justice... I think Angelina will be missed in TNA and hope we can work together someday!" Lacey said she was contacting the newspaper to retract her statements. The Herald said they were under the impression she was partly talking in-character when she did the interview but those comments about Love where her exact words.

Ric Flair's ex-wife Tiffany went on the Unholy Matrimony radio show this past week and noted she was disappointed that Ric was returning to the ring to wrestle Hulk Hogan in Australia. She said: "The WrestleMania and the Hall of Fame was so unbelievable... it was such a proud moment. No matter what I've been through with him, I was really, really proud to be part of that... It's really unfortunate that he's coming back under these [financial] circumstances, because that should have been the last day he wrestled. It was phenomenal and he should have been proud of that and it should have stayed that way." You can listen to the show via
