WWE News - Reason For Candice Michelle Trade; Dudley Boyz
Submitted by Daniel Pena on Tuesday, August 23, 2005 at 1:14 AM EST







• A storyline reason for Candice Michelle's sudden trade (and return) to the Raw brand was because she was deemed too hot for network TV as Smackdown! is on UPN. Here is what it says in her updated profile...
  
  After the 2005 Draft Lottery, Candice was traded to SmackDown! Candice was quickly traded back to RAW, however, after the Diva claimed Theodore Long thought she was too hot for network TV.
  
  
• To go along with the storyline, Chris Jericho's profile has been removed from the Raw page because he was fired by Eric Bischoff last night due to the prior stipulation that the loser would be fired. Jericho probably won't be back on WWE programming until sometime in 2006.
  
  
• The Dudley Boyz are still technically under WWE contract at the moment, at least until this Friday on August 26 when it runs out. They'll be free to wrestle anywhere they want as early as Saturday if they wanted to as they don't have a 90-day clause as they're weren't released, their contracts were just not renewed.
  
  The Dudleyz will likely end up in TNA and Japan in the near future. They're asking for a $5,000 apiece per appearance, a $10,000 commitment as a promoter would obviously need both of them. With a price like that, it's not likely that they'll get that amount very often unless it's in TNA or Japan, and even that would be a stretch. For comparision reasons, the going rate for regular headliners in the independent circuit is about $1,500 as that is the amount the likes of Raven and Terry Funk charge.
