– As we’ve been reporting, former WWE Champion Rob Van Dam is returning to WWE and is expected back on television in the next week. We’ve heard Van Dam’s travel plans to New Orleans have already been booked.

– The latest word regarding WWE’s talent scouting philosophy is that they’re looking for standout independent wrestlers. As usual, wrestlers with larger physique are still getting a stronger look.
