– Also relating to DSW, according to PWInsider.com, Bill Behrens has left the promotion going back a few weeks due to internal conflicts with owner Jody Hamilton and trainer Bill DeMott. Additionally, due to a delayed start, Behrens didn’t have much of a role, while he supposedly was brought in to handle TV and house show duties after closing dowin his NWA Wildside promotion. Behrens may also have had heat due to being an agent for TNA stars AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, and he may look to return to TNA at some point, but that nonwithstanding, he’s under WWE contract until January 2006.
