Big Daddy V missed the Wrestlemania festivities and was pulled from the ECW Battle Royal on the Wrestlemania pre-show as he's suffering from a bout with pneumonia.
Pretty much every WWE contracted talent was in Orlando over the weekend, with the two lone exceptions I am aware of being The Boogey Man and Johnny Jeter. No official word on why, but they haven't been utilized in forever.
Some of the WWE developmental talents in town for Wrestlemania weekend ended up getting chewed out by WWE management for disrespecting the main roster at the Hall of Fame. Their crime? Taking food and eating at catering before the main roster talents could arrive and eat.
The original plan for the Undertaker entrance was to feature 24 Druids, but they later cut them down to 10 as the PPV progressed.

Talent from all three brands are backstage at Raw. Ric Flair has not arrived yet, but one would think he would at least make some sort of farewell address.
Actor Macaulay Culkin (of Home Alone fame) was at the Wrestlemania after-party. He's been a fan for years as I can remember him being shown as a child at one of the earlier Wrestlemanias.
WWE developmental talents from FCW were used as extras for Melina's paparazzi and the Undertaker's Druids last night. I am pretty sure Colt Cabana and Matt Sydal were part of Melina's entrance.
Jesse Ventura will appear on Larry King Live on 4/1. He's currently finalizing an action figure deal with Jakks Pacific, who will produce him as both an announcer and wrestler. Ventura will be doing a book tour to push his third book in April.
WWE is pushing their advertising offices in New York City to work towards getting more higher profile companies to advertise with the company, especially major auto companies. It's been a major headache for the office because management has pressure on them to get Fortune 500 companies to sign on and that's a hard sell due to the stigma of professional wrestling and wrestling fans.
