– Gene Snitsky is rumored to be working with a broken orbital bone that was suffered at Survivor Series. In other Snitsky news, WXW, the promotion run by Afa the Wild Samoan, has put together a “Best of” DVD from when Snitsky was training there. It can be found here. Thanks to Daniel Swinney for clarification on this story.
– Nikkan Sports and PWInsider.com are reporting that Ultimo Dragon will be returning to WWE in January. The plan was for him to come back without a mask, using his real name Asai, with the storyline that he went back to Japan to find himself, and he’s now a warrior. He was recently seen backstage at a RAW event, and he’ll be facing former WWE developmental talent (and TNA “Elite Guard” member) Chad Collyer at the 12/12 New Japan Dojo event in Los Angeles.
– Rumors abound that WWE has already signed all of the remaining Tough Enough contestants to developmental deals, or at least have plans to do so once the competition proper is over. Of course, the men involved still have reason to “win” the competition, and therefore a four-year $1 million contract.
