– PWTorch is reporting that Batista may have initially strained his lats at Taboo Tuesday trying to give Vader a spinebuster, with Vader not giving proper lift on the move the first time around. As previously reported, Batista has opted to rehab the injury rather than get surgery that would leave him out of action for at least three months.
– Stephanie McMahon’s tribute to Eddie was filmed from Connecticut, as she wasn’t able to fly after recent nasal surgery. WWE creative team member Dusty Rhodes was also recently told not to travel after an injury sustained at an indie show.
– Kurt Angle is really pushing Vince to give him another title run.
– Kane extended his contract with less of a downside guarantee in exchange for the chance to star in “See No Evil,” the WWE Films movie set to hit theatres on May 19, 2006.
