If he loses Saturday night, Randy Couture should pass a torch to Brock Lesnar along with the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title.A Lesnar victory on the "UFC 91" pay-per-view show emanating from Las Vegas would signify a changing of the guard in the promotion's heavyweight division.

While he was wrestling as "Cactus Jack" in the mid-1990s, Mick Foley had his ear legitimately torn off when his head became stuck between ring ropes that were too tight.But even that pain was tolerable compared with the earful Foley was receiving from World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon.

He was "special" for more than his nickname.S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones - one of the more memorable World Wrestling Entertainment performers during the 1970s and 1980s - died Sunday following complications from a stroke, according to the promotion's web site. Jones, whose real name was Conrad Efrain, was 63.

Bret Hart was touted as, "The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be," during his magnificent grappling career.When it comes to pro wrestling books, the same could be said about Hart's autobiography.

Finally, Hulk Hogan is back in the spotlight for what he does best: Pro wrestling.Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling debuts at 8 p.m. Saturday on CMT (Country Music Television). Over the span of eight episodes, 10 B-list entertainers and athletes will compete in elimination-style fashion to crown the inaugural CCW champion.

Talk about your Wilde rides.Introduced as a "fan" that answered an open challenge from Awesome Kong, Taylor Wilde became the TNA 20 Wrestling women's world champion in just her third televised match on TNA Impact (9 p.m., Eastern, Spike TV). But the road Wilde traveled to reach such heights was far bumpier than reflected by her on-screen character.

The possibility of Rey Mysterio losing his mask is overshadowed by other World Wrestling Entertainment storylines on Sunday's No Mercy pay-per-view show.This wouldn't happen in Mexican pro wrestling, where such costuming is treated with far more reverence.

Norman Smiley was committed to returning to school in 2008.He just never thought it would be as a teacher rather than student.With his 22-year pro wrestling career winding down, Smiley had started making other plans for the future. He began taking classes at a community college and working at Walfab, a South Florida textile store owned by friend Rick Donoff.

He is a shell of a mixed martial arts fighter, but Ken Shamrock's mouth works just fine.

The comment still makes Danny Davis chuckle.In 2000, his Louisville, Ky.-based promotion became World Wrestling Entertainment's flagship developmental territory for young talent. Davis said WWE's expectations for Ohio Valley Wrestling were low -- to say the least.
