Here are the notes and news items from the week in pro wrestling: Ted DiBiase — not “The Million Dollar Man” — broke his wrist last week at a WWE house show. Despite the bad break, DiBiase is considering wrestling through the injury.
“It’s just my wrist,” he tweeted. “Not my neck, knee or back. Got no problem fighting with one arm!”
• Matt Hardy will return to the ring at an independent show on March 3 in North Carolina.
• John Cena was recently honored by the Make-A-Wish Foundation for granting his 250th wish, the most wishes ever granted by an individual.

Last week’s question: Which wrestler is most famous for his finishing move, “The Iron Claw”?
Most famous is a relative term, so if you answered Blackjack Mulligan, Killer Kowalski, The Spoiler, Fritz Von Erich or Baron Von Raschke, consider yourself a winner.
