This Day in Wrestling History
Another WWE Release
According to a report by PWInsider, WWE has released Ryan Braddock and did so in the last few days. Braddock, who debuted on the Smackdown brand in August 2008, was hardly used by the company and had been sent back to the Florida Championship Wrestling territory. There were reports he was slated to be repackaged with a new gimmick for TV, but nothing ever ended up taking place.

Rumor Mill - WWE Planting Information?
PWInsider.com is reporting that WWE officials are planting a number of red herrings in order to keep their creative plans a mystery to the internet wrestling fans. The word backstage is that almost anything could be planted. This is also being done to discover the individuals within the company leaking confidential information to the people behind wrestling news websites.
They should have done this a long time ago.

JBL a Good Guy?
A few weeks ago, WWE's former developmental promotion, Ohio Valley Wrestling, lost their television deal on the CW affiliate in their home base of Louisville, Kentucky because they were unable to pay the $2,000 per week fee for the Saturday night time slot. Fortunately for them, the company regained their time slot and are back on the air — all thanks to the generosity of WWE star John Bradshaw Layfield.
When JBL was at an autograph signing at OVW, the crew told him about the money problems and JBL said he would do everything he could to help. Ohio Valley Wrestling now has a new sponsor in Layfield Energy, JBL's dietary supplement.
Another WWE Release
Laurel, MD's own Kaleb O'Neal (Patrick Brink) was released from WWE developmental.
According to The Sun, in December he got heat because he added some tattoos on his forearms which when under WWE contract you need their permission to do. He was fined $1,000 and suspended for one week. Because he was only making $500 per week, after the fine he started struggling financially. He told the office about his money problems and was given a pay rise to $750. This past week he was late to an appointment for physical therapy that WWE was also paying for and when word got back to the office they basically told him his recent behaviour was unacceptable and they were letting him go.
Patrick explains why he was let go.
So, Apparently Shane McMahon is Tougher than Triple H
On the last episode of SmackDown, Triple H was ambushed by Legacy. He fought for about seven minutes until he was defeated and destroyed. Legacy has attacked many wrestlers, but only one person has survived the attack and defeated all three members. Seriously? What happened? Did Shane O'Mac turn into Superman?...More?
