Although a personal issue will keep him from appearing on WWE NXT Takeover tonight, you can see Ric Flair (well, his voice, anyway) on an episode of Cartoon Network's Uncle Grandpa at 7:30 PM tonight. Here's a clip from the episode, titled "History of Wrestling":

An official press release for Flair's appearance was released today as well:

Wrestling Legend Ric Flair Guest Stars on Tonight's Episode of Cartoon Network's UNCLE GRANDPA

The history of wrestling is full of iconic matches that fans will never forget. Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant, Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat. But what about the nuttiest match in wrestling's long and glorious existence?

Tonight at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT) Cartoon Network presents an all-new episode of Uncle Grandpa, "The History of Wrestling." The documentary-style episode gives a very special look into what has been deemed the "nuttiest match ever," the earth-shattering bout between Chicken Man and The Best.

With very special commentary from wrestling superstar Ric Flair and Mysterious Gus, "The History of Wrestling" goes behind the scenes to reveal startling details about the match that would completely reshape the sport.

In an update from earlier, all CM Punk related merchandise has now been removed from the WWEShop.com website. Any attempts to search his name result in nothing being found.

WWE has released an official t-shirt for Charlotte as well as tonight's Takeover event. They've also added a lot of great looking art prints from artist Rob Schamberger, who we've had in the Elite section of PWInsider.com a few times for some really good interviews.

NXT will also tape TV tomorrow at Full Sail University. If anyone is attending the taping, we are seeking reports.

Mick Foley, in an interview with The Vancouver Sun noted that he's hoping to get some relief from the back pain he's been experiencing with his recent surgery and then use DDP Yoga to cut down some of his weight. He was promoting his one man show, which will be touring the Western End of Canada this month and next at this link.

Jack Swagger was interviewed at ThisisInfamous.com looking at his current run and some of the things he was involved in with past WWE storylines that didn't work out.

The Wilkes Barre Times Leader featured a piece on The Miz and The Usos doing an anti-bullying appearance at a school in Hannover, PA at this link.
