Prowrestling.net is reporting that MVP upset members of WWE management recently by making a derogatory comment to one of the testers who watches the WWE performers while they submit urine samples. His comment inspired WWE head of talent relations John Laurinaitis to indirectly address the matter in locker room meeting. Laurinaitis instructed talent to be respectful of the testers. Those who were aware of the MVP story felt it was obvious that the meeting was held because of his incident.
From J.R.'s blog:
"Did you hear about the MAJOR altercation in the locker room area of a recent wrestling event where a top hand had it out with a tester. Seems as if someone in catering failed to test the mashed potatoes and they weren't creamy and buttery enough and there was quite the issue that ensued. Thank goodness that the fish that was throughly cooked that day or this matter could have gotten really ugly and made big news on the 'net. I hear a team meeting will be held to discuss this issue but that the potato matter won't be specifically addressed. Hey, being a tester and doing one's job can be very...'testy.'"

Rumor Mill - MVP & J.R.'s Rib
TNA superstar possibly returning to the WWE
A former WWE champion and one of the most controversial names in pro wrestling may be coming home. The rumors have been hot for the last few weeks regarding TNA superstar Kevin Nash. Nash has been telling sources that he could return to the WWE as soon as October.
Talk about stirring the pot? Kevin Nash has been both a blessing and a curse since coming to TNA Wrestling. On the plus side, Nash brings with him national recognition and has been able to give his “star run” to some of the younger talent. On the minus side, Nash has walked out of tapings and been a terrible headache according to some within TNA. Is this what the WWE needs in 2008?...More?

Mick Foley leaves WWE; signs short-term deal with TNA
As of today, I am a free agent in the world of professional wrestling. I will always be grateful to WWE for affording me so many incredible opportunities over the past thirteen years, but feel the time is right to pursue other endeavors.
This move frees me up to participate in more film, television and voice roles, autograph sessions, speaking engagements, volunteer work, and will allow me the time to start work on a third novel, a fourth wrestling memoir and a new children’s story.
Over the next few weeks I will be working with my management team at Braverman/Bloom Co., Inc. in pursuing a couple of unique investment opportunities.
I can confirm I have had discussions with TNA Wrestling and have come to a short-term agreement. I am very excited about the specifics of this agreement and the potential it holds.
