* With Rikishi now available to work indy shows following his release from the WWE, many indy promoters have found his asking price far too high. Many just released WWE wrestlers often begin touring the indy circuit at select shows paying them inflated amounts for the first few months, then dramaticly reduce their asking price in order to work more shows once their WWE fame subdues. Expect to see the same from Rikishi. There is controversy as to whether he will be able to perform the "Stinkface" among other character attributes that Rikishi used while in the WWE as the company will likely claim it as trademarked to the company and the Rikishi character the company made famous.
* Rumors are continuing to circulate that JBL will beat the Undertaker in the WWE Title match at SummerSlam. However, if the title doesn't change hands at the PPV, many within the WWE believe that in the near future it will be the Undertaker and not Eddie Guerrero that will win the belt from JBL.
