-- This past week, there was some major heat between WWE and Fighting Spirit, a magazine based out of the U.K. that covers professional wrestling as well as MMA.
In the latest issue, the magazine printed a memo sent out by WWE to members of the video gaming press covering the upcoming SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 video game. WWE wants to control how the game is portrayed in previews.
WWE told the video game press that they could not show any screenshots of the Superstars bleeding or using weapons. Additionally, WWE said in their memo that they aren't allowed to show screenshots of digital Triple H "in a defenseless or vulnerable position."
WWE was said to be furious that the memo was published (I get the magazine, so I'll post the memo in its entirety as soon as I get my copy).
Additionally, Fighting Spirit defied order by posting a screenshot of Kane hovering over a vulnerable Triple H.
-- As reported earlier, WWE may have parted ways with a muscular Welsh developmental wrestler by the name of Rob Terry, who is a former bodybuilder. His picture was removed from the official Florida Championship Wrestling site late last month. It's interesting to note that the MySpace page of the Team 3D Wrestling Academy (www.myspace.com/team3dacademy), has a memo on Terry, which reads: "September 2008- Team 3D welcomes "Big" Rob Terry 6'6'', 290 lbs and ripped to shreds." Considering that Terry is training at a wrestling school run by wrestlers of the competition instead of the WWE-sanctioned one, it definitely looks like he was let go.
-- Cryme Tyme is scheduled to do an autograph signing this Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Kings Scion located at 9500 Kings Automall Road, Mason, Ohio.
