-- Umaga may be turning babyface after being cheered in many cities during WWE's recent tour of Europe. That kind of explains why WWE put him a spot last week on Raw to get a pop by attacking "Barack Obama" and "Hillary Clinton."

-- WWE developmental wrestler Ted DiBiase, Jr. pleaded no contest to his DUI charge from February 15. His driver's license was revoked. DiBiase has also been ordered to give 50 hours community service, attend a traffic school, and pay a few other fines.

-- In what may be a first for WWE in Mexico, they are discounting tickets for their upcoming tour there. Prices for two shows in Mexico City have been cut. They are the final two shows of the four-show Mexican tour next month.

-- WWE's latest theme song CD is considered to be a flop. In its third week out, it sold 5,897 copies, falling to No. 113 on the Billboard chart. Total sales minus Wal-Mart are at 32,257.

-- At the SmackDown/ECW taping in Greensboro, NC last week, one person in attendance showed a "Fire Adamle" sign during the ECW broadcast. One of the tech guys jumped the rail to confisicate the sign. He said he needed the sign, although agreed with what was written on it. He said, "Even though I agree with you, we can't have that sign on TV." WWE now tapes ECW before SmackDown, so they were able to edit the sign off the show.
