Submitted by Calvin Martin on Wednesday, July 18, 2007 at 4:58 PM EST







• Mexico is now at peak interest of WWE for the expansion of a new developmental territory.
  
  
• Because of Sandman's unusual gimmick, WWE is likely to give him an undercard push due to Vince McMahon's interest in the character.
  
  
• Santino Marella's push is coming to an end because Vince McMahon has lost confidence that he can pull off the characteristics of an under-dog wrestler & Italian ladies man gimmick.
  
  
• The Dusty Rhodes in-ring promo with Randy Orton on the July 9th Monday Night Raw was 90% unscripted. Dusty mainly got over the main points of the original script and ad-libbed the rest. In other Dusty Rhodes news, he is expected to sign a talent contract. This will give him three paychecks from WWE - talent, writer, and legends.
  
  
• On July 2nd at the Dallas TV tapings, Vince McMahon made it clear to everyone to get off any illegal drugs if they were using any.
  
  
• Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn have decided not to participate in the Summerslam Jackass angle. Steve O will is still active and will be the crew's leader.
  
  
• The newest WWE video game in production, despite being close to finalization, had to be re-done in order to have all the Chris Benoit references removed.
