Former WWE wrestler Sean Waltman also known as "X-Pac" was arrested at an airport for possesion of drugs in New Jersey. This is the second WWE wrestler this month to be arrested. ------------------------------------ Also Matt Hardy is "on very thin ice" with the company, amid rumours that he may about to leave.
Controversy and confusion surrounds his status after WWE took the unusual step of confirming that they excluded him from the last live event on their recent mini-UK tour.
A story initially emerged on wrestling websites that Matt had been sent home to the US, but the grappler offered a quick and firm rebuttal with a YouTube video proving he was in England, with footage of cars driving on the left.
However, despite his initial denial, Hardy has since admitted "the whole story certainly isn't out there".
And yesterday, a spokesman for WWE confirmed to New York paper Newsday that Matt WAS left off of shows in the UK.
Bryan Alvarez, of Figure Four Weekly, now reports that Hardy is "on very thin ice".
After his YouTube video, Matt took to Twitter on Tuesday night with a series of messages that seemed to contradict it.
He posted: "Here's a quick hello to all my people and a reassurance to everyone that I'm fine, healthy, and in good spirits. Thanks for all of your support.
"When the time is right, I'll put everything out there as far as what 'really' went down. I know I have to protect me and my brand, and I will.
"I appreciate my fans so much that I'll always be honest with them and the whole story certainly isn't out there now.
"I appreciate all of the things the WWE has done for me in the past, they have been gracious to me but now, it's decision time for me. Thanks all."
In Hardy's video, he attacked Internet wrestling sites that "hate me" and wondered aloud how rumours got out citing a "random, nosy, stooging punk", with a great deal of emphasis on the word "Punk".
Matt is rumoured to not get along with CM Punk, who incidentally also dated his former girlfriend Amy Dumas (known in WWE as Lita).
Hardy was in a six year relationship with Dumas. They first met in January 1999, at a NWA Mid-Atlantic show, but did not begin dating until a few months later. They used to share a home in North Carolina but the couple broke up when she had an affair with one of Hardy's close friends, fellow wrestler Adam "Edge" Copeland in February 2005. Hardy has stated in interviews that he and Dumas have since patched things up, and he still considers her a close friend.
Another report suggests that he doesn't like Punk because he convinced Vince McMahon (WWE Chairman) to include a cheap shot at Matt's brother Jeff on a promo at a WWE P.P.V. In 2009, Punk was involed in a rivalry with Jeff before CM Punk defeated Jeff it a Loser gets fired match. A week or so after the match went on air, Jeff was arrested on drug charges.
WWE have been down on Hardy's performance for some time but fear releasing him, as he will almost certainly join his brother Jeff on TNA to reunite their famous tag team.
Reports suggest that Matt was not present at Tuesday's Smackdown TV tapings.

Yet another former "DX" member is in the headlines; A representative for former World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler and “Celebrity Rehab” cast member Joan “Chyna” Laurer said she was hospitalized Monday in Los Angeles for an overdose of the antihistamine Benadryl, not alcohol poisoning as was originally reported, according to E! Online.
Laurer’s manager, who goes only by the name Sato, said Laurer, 39, had a bad reaction to Benadryl, an over-the-counter allergy medication. “Her hands were shaking after taking the medication," he said.
A source told entertainment website TMZ that Laurer took four to five times the recommended amount of Benadryl to help her sleep Sunday night, and woke up Monday morning throwing up and having difficulty walking.

In an historic night, Paul Bearer stunned the entire WWE Universe as well as World Heavyweight Champion Kane – by emerging from a casket, hoisting his mystical urn high and reenergizing the Undertaker.
After Kane demanded The Undertaker face him at Hell in a Cell, a group of druids hauled a casket to ringside. But when the champion raised the lid expecting to find The Deadman, he was stunned to see Paul Bearer.
As The Big Red Monster recoiled in fear, the “Father of Destruction” sat up displaying his infamous urn. Then, after a few seconds of tense darkness in the arena, the champion found himself standing in the ring between Paul Bearer and The Undertaker.
No longer the listless Superstar we saw at the close of their Night of Champions match, The Phenom was full of fury. As The Undertaker launched a vicious assault on his brother, Paul Bearer looked on, clutching his urn. Terrified and confused as to what was unfolding, Kane ran up the entrance ramp. Finally, as Paul Bearer raised his urn high, it was clear that The Undertaker had transformed back into The Phenom who struck fear into countless souls.
This isn't a good sign for Taker fans. Bearer returning makes me feel that Taker's retirement is coming up very soon. ---------------------------- The wrestling world is buzzing with news that Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy may be leaving WWE.
Well I'm happy to report that Jericho will not be leaving WWE.
In storyline terms, Chris promised to leave if he didn't win the WWE Title at yesterday's Night Of Champions PPV. Reports are now suggesting that was a mistake.
Jericho will be competing in a match this week on Raw against Randy Orton. Reports suggest that Y2J will be taking a huge beating in the match and will be missing in action for a while (In other words: He is taking a break from wrestling to go on tour with his band).
As for Hardy well that is still up in the air. -------------------------------- 6 time WWE women's champion Mickie James has finally signed for TNA Wrestling, ending months of speculation. The 31-year-old brunette, who was unceremoniously released by WWE in April is now expected to make her debut on the special live version of Impact on October 7.
James is widely regarded as one of the best female grapplers on the planet and is a great catch for TNA, who badly need to re-ignite their once-great Knockouts Division.
After leaving WWE, Mickie concentrated solely on promoting her new country music album.
However on May 20, TNA President Dixie Carter tweeted that she had been to watch James in concert sparking rumours that talks were on.
James actually had a spell wrestling for TNA in 2003 under the name Alexis Laree, but it wasn't until she debuted as Mickie James in WWE and went straight into a major storyline with Trish Stratus that she shot to the wrestling public's attention.

This is one of the weirdest rumors that I have ever heard regarding WWE but some media outlets are reporting that Justin Bieber, no you didn't hear wrong "Justin Bieber" will next April perform at WrestleMania. The rumor is that WWE really wants Justin to come out and sing at their annual event. I can tell you now, I'm pretty sure a lot of WWE fans are going to love Bieber...

mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/03/tough-enough-wrestling-is-set-to-return-on-usa/January 3, 2011, 12:26 am ‘Tough Enough’ Wrestling to Return on USA By BRIAN STELTER Wrestling is taking over another hour of cable television. World Wrestling Entertainment will announce Monday that it is resurrecting “WWE Tough Enough,” a competition to cast a new member of the organization’s roster. The program was retired by MTV in 2003, but the USA network is bringing it back and pairing it with the hit franchise “Monday Night Raw.”
The return of “Tough Enough” deepens W.W.E.’s relationship with USA channel’s parent, NBC Universal, the media company that Comcast is on the cusp of acquiring. For years, USA has been the home of “Raw,” and last year the Syfy Channel became the home of “Friday Night Smackdown.” W.W.E. executives have spoken publicly about wanting to start a cable channel, and the relationship with NBC and Comcast may prove useful.
Kevin Dunn, the executive vice president for television production at W.W.E., said “Tough Enough” would be “a brand builder for us.” It will feature 12 men and women jostling for a one-year W.W.E. contract.
“It’s a way to bring eyeballs to the W.W.E. product that wouldn’t necessarily watch a live event wrestling show,” he said.
“Tough Enough” is being introduced as USA, known for scripted dramas, seeks to return to unscripted programming. Its last reality show premiere was “Made in the USA” in 2005. A USA spokesman said the channel was hiring unscripted development executives.
Mr. Dunn said W.W.E. had been talking to USA “for years” about resuming “Tough Enough.” After a splashy premiere on April 4 following “WrestleMania,” the show will be broadcast at 8 p.m. on Mondays before “Raw.”
Mr. Dunn said the addition of “Tough Enough” on USA did not reflect any change in the company’s plans for a channel of its own. “We’re talking to partners,” he said, and those include NBC Universal.So what I'm wondering is whether this is replacing NXT or they'll both be going on.

This seems pointless since they already have Nxt. So much for the next evoloution of sports entertainment. Official statment from WWE.COM: USA Network has given a 10-episode order to “WWE Tough Enough,” a non-scripted series in collaboration with World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. and Shed Media US. “WWE Tough Enough,” slated to debut April 4, 2011, will feature a group of 12 individuals looking for a once-in-a-lifetime shot to become the next WWE Superstar or Diva. The grand prize winner will be awarded a contract with WWE, joining its roster of talent. “WWE Tough Enough” will premiere at 11/10 p.m. CT the day after WrestleMania XXVII and immediately following USA’s ratings juggernaut Monday Night Raw. It will then move to its regularly scheduled slot, Mondays at 8/7 p.m. CT, starting on April 11th. "We're thrilled to tag team with the WWE in bringing Tough Enough back to television," said Chris McCumber, executive vice president of marketing, digital and brand strategy for USA Network, and Jeff Wachtel, president of original programming USA Network and co-head of original content for Universal Cable Productions. "By focusing on both the physical and the performance challenges of becoming a Superstar, the show will shine a new light on what it takes to truly make your mark in the WWE universe." “For years, the return of Tough Enough has been one of the most talked about and speculated topics amongst reality show fans and television industry insiders,” said Kevin Dunn, executive vice president of television production for WWE. “With the combined promotional muscle of USA Network and WWE, the right time slot and the reality show experience of Shed Media, WWE is looking forward to the successful return of one of television’s first reality show hits.” The diverse group of men and women will live and train together in a house in Los Angeles. To see who has what it takes to be the next WWE Superstar or Diva, the contestants will battle it out each week in a series of unique challenges designed to test for such characteristics as showmanship, creativity, athleticism and desire, just to name a few. Each episode will feature a current WWE Superstar, who will introduce the contenders to a quality that they must possess to make it to the top of the sports-entertainment world. Along the way, viewers will witness the trials and tribulations of what it takes to be one of the best in the world’s greatest sports-entertainment organization. Each episode will conclude with the elimination of one of the hopefuls who is left outside of the ring, while those that remain will move one step closer to their dream. In the final episode, the remaining contestants will battle it out for the grand prize. Shed Media US, noted for its strong characters and memorable casting in the non-scripted arena, will produce WWE Tough Enough. The company’s previous reality credits include “The Real Housewives of New York City,” “Who Do You Think You Are,” “World's Strictest Parents.” Producing for Shed Media US are Alex Demyanenko and Eric Van Wagenen. www.wwe.com/inside/news/toughenoughreturnsAnd for those who missed it, The Awesome One retained the WWE Title on Raw
