-- Former WWE/WCW star Jorge "El Gigante" González, 42, was on deathwatch as recently as a few days ago due to renal complications, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He's apparently okay now as he was released from the hospital on Tuesday. It was a big news story in Buenos Aries, Argentina since Gonzalez was a national team basketball star in the late 80s before starting his professional wrestling career. His health has deteriorated in recent years due to his overwhelming size (González is legitimately 7-6 ½) as his knees have gotten very bad, to the point that he can barely stand on his own two feet. He uses a wheelchair to get around.
-- Former ECW valet and 3PW owner Jasmine St. Claire is working on an autobiography that will focus on her life in the adult entertainment industry, reports PWInsider.com. The book is set to be released next year. St. Claire is perhaps best known for starring in a number of "gang bang" pornographic movies, in which she has sex with large numbers of men continuously without stopping.
-- ProFootballTalk.com has an article on former WWE star Joe "Road Warrior Animal" Laurinaitis splitting from the DeBartolo Agency. According to the article, "many in the agent community suspected that the move was nothing more than an end-run around new NFLPA rules that prevented any of them from talking to Joe's son, Ohio State linebacker Jim Laurinaitis, who at the time was a junior."
