The following is a tidbit from the latest Ross Report on WWF.com: "Dean Malenko is having knee problems, but he is still scheduled to be at TV, and is expected to continue his interaction with Lita. Malenko's MRI results are not available as I write this." Hopefully the MRI results will be encouraging. If they are made available, I will post them here. Until then, please keep Mr. Malenko in your thoughts and prayers. Let's hope for the best!

In other news, Dean Malenko was paid compliments by two women this week. First, when asked how she feels about working with Malenko, Lita stated, "That actually is really great. I�m really close to the Hardys, so that any time I�m with them, I feel a lot more confident than by myself. When I go into a singles match with another girl, I feel a different kind of nervous without them. When I�m out with them, I�m nervous but in a way I want to do my best. I want to impress my big brothers, which is what they are. Jeff is younger, but he�s one of my mentors. Dean being out there helps me. It�s kind of calming. Even if (the Hardys) are nowhere to be found, I know I�ll be OK out there.� (Credit: The Wrestling Observer.)
Next, last night on Byte This, Molly Holly was asked who has been her biggest influence in coming to the WWF and she replied that she would have to say Dean Malenko because he helped her get to a point of wrestling where she felt comfortable and confident in the ring. In addition, when she actually went backstage to talk to Jim Ross and the other WWF employees, Dean was the one who introduced her. (Credit: WWF Byte This.)
Added a match report from the Raw, to the TV Reports section.
This is not very newsworthy, but in his latest online audio commentary, Perry Saturn states that Dean Malenko is always in a good mood, always telling jokes and that he has never seen Malenko in a bad mood. You can listen to the commentary at PerrySaturn.com.

In a completely useless, yet somewhat interesting piece of information about Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, in the latest online audio commentary said Malenko is one of the best drivers in the business and the best at always knowing where he is. To add to this, earlier this year, in one of his commentaries, Chris Benoit stated, "I think the best driver of the group is Dean. He is like a homing pigeon, he could drive to the most obscure place with 100 different turns to take, go back 2 years later, and find the place without asking directions."

Dean Malenko and Lita will be going out to dinner on Thursday. If you missed Raw, read about how this happened here.
