World Wrestling Entertainment released Russell Simpson from his developmental contract. Simpson had been assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling. He was a signed out from Booker T's wrestling school, so you can bet there is a cause and effect here.

This is completely random, but was it ever explained why Shawn Michaels was wearing those hideous-looking tights when he returned in 2002 up until he went back to the classic HBK stuff at Armageddon 2002?
Yeah, Undertaker made a big return at Survivor Series 2005 after Randy Orton and Bob Orton relived Royal Rumble 1998 and set a casket on fire that Taker was in at No Mercy 2005.
Orton was the sole survivor in the Raw vs. Smackdown main event tag match and all the mid-carders came out to celebrate. Taker came in and chokeslammed everyone but Matt Hardy because he left the ring when Taker got in.
Taker got in Matt's face backstage for bailing before taking the chokeslam and said he was too much of a mark himself, so Matt got the jobber treatment for a few months before Jeff Hardy finally came back.
Who is this "we" you speak of? It sure as hell don't include me.
you're kidding, right?
I would hope he's kidding, considering this week's video said stuff like:
-- 6_DAYS_23_HOURS_30_MINUTES
-- NEXT_MONDAY
-- BREAK_THE_WALLS
And that Jericho on the latest WWE magazine with SAVE_US.222 all over it leaked yesterday.
Brian Lawler already did an interview uncovered with CNN on Wolf Blitzer's show a few days after the killings. He has a very, very raspy voice as well and I don't think CNN's audio disfigurers would go to the trouble to fill in his empty vocal spots.
The piece said "longtime WWE employee". Daivari wasn't even there for 3 years. There's no way he'd even risk doing that because he said he wants to go back one day and claims Vince told him he'd be welcomed back with open arms when he was ready to return.
I'm still saying it was Scotty 2 Hotty.
For what it's worth, WWE is advertising Melina vs. Mickie James on WWE.Com Heat. I have a feeling they're going to be rolling out a new Diva section or possibly an entirely different website tomorrow. It would probably explain why everyone's stuff was taken down except for Vickie Guerrero.
Well, they billed him as a longtime WWE employee.
My guess is Scotty 2 Hotty. He was in WWE for an astronomically long time. A jobber for most of the 90s up to earlier this year when he was fired.
According to Bret Hart's book, the WM13 match between Hart and Shawn Michaels was originally talked about to be a ladder match with the loser having to shave their head bald.
Smackdown is going HD on January 8, 2008 on The CW. No word on Raw or ECW, but it's likely they could jump over to HD since USA and Sci-Fi just launched their HD channels.
