Many in WWE very concerned about Eddie Guerrero
Guerrero is showing signs of stress and many feel he is showing sings of breaking down because of matters in WWE and outside the company.
It is felt that Guerrero is being very hard on himself because of past financial mistakes, and he also feels his run as WWE Champion was a failure due to low ratings and attendances.
The consensus is that Guerrero's long career in pro wrestling is starting to take its toll on his body. Guerrero is now 37 years old.

Rock signs new contract
The Rock reportedly signed a new WWE contract this month, although details are sketchy at this point. It is in Rock's best interest to maintain ties with WWE, because its audience is a great forum in which to promote his movies.

Real story on Chavo's injury
Although WWE played Chavo Guerrero's concussion as serious on tonight's edition on SmackDown!, the word is that it was not a major injury, and he's just being held out of action as a precautionary measure.

Sky edits Raw
WWE RAW aired in the UK tonight, with two major edits. Obviously, WWE edited the diva segment, but they also edited out the tribute to the WWE employee who died in August.

Undertaker violates dress code
Although Undertaker was told to follow the dress code, correspondents around the world have provided information to the contrary: Undertaker is not following the code and has been seen walking around in casual attire.
The fact that he has been walking around in casual attire is even more perplexing, since the defense used against following the dress code was that it would damage his character's "deadman" image.
Agents have reportedly told wrestlers that while Undertaker is still expected to follow the code, there is the implication that anyone who complains about his "breaking of the rules," will suffer consequences. Undertaker has enough stroke backstage that he can get away with breaking rules.
Once again, he is still very likely to comply in the near future, but will not necessarily suffer the reprecussions others would for violating the code.

Wrestlers begininning to turn on John Bradshaw Layfield
Recent reports had confirmed that wrestlers were being won over by John Bradshaw Layfield due to his work ethic, however, it now seems that the opposite is happening and the heat is on him once again.
Many feel that Bruce Prichard is the one who lobbied for JBL, thus the reason he is being given such a good spot. The consensus from other wrestlers is that JBL's drawing power is beginning to diminish and that he doesn't deserve the spot he has been given.
Prichard is not a popular figure in the company, infact he is the most hated man backstage in WWE. To make matters worse for JBL, he is continually being associated with Prichard which will not do his popularity any favors either.

Vince wants Lesnar back
As of right now, there are no plans for Brock Lesnar to return to WWE. The former WWE champion is still very interested in pursuing various football options, and is not ready to give up. However, sources say Lesnar and at least one member of the McMahon family keep in touch, and Vince McMahon would love to have Brock Lesnar back, even though Lesnar was not one of the most popular members of the WWE lockerroom during his run with the company.
