Too Cold Scorpio will start appearing in a WWE ring near you in November. Scorpio still has a few obligations to fulfill in October for Japan's Pro Wrestling NOAH promotion. Upon his debut, Scorpio will more than likely be a part of either Smackdown or ECW.
The Manila Times did an interview with Batista when he was there two weeks ago. In the interview, Batista was asked if the death of Eddie Guerrero scared him. Batista said, "It didn’t scare me. We were well aware that Eddie Guerrero abused himself for a while. But he was clean and sober for a long time, but the damage he has done to himself was obviously irreparable. It didn't scare me at all because I didn't abuse myself like that."
Ted DiBiase's sons, Ted Jr. and Mike, are not under contract to WWE, even though Jim Ross mentioned them in a recent blog entry. DiBiase doesn't want them under WWE contract just yet. He wants Harley Race to train them, and when they're ready, to then tour NOAH in Japan and become good workers there rather than be brought up too soon and burning their careers out too early. He'd rather they become good wrestlers elsewhere and then come in, similar to the path Harry Smith took.
