Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

» WWE Diva Mickie James was in the doghouse before her WWE firing after she became late on several occasions during their European tour as we noted earlier. There were some WWE wrestlers who believe James’ was out partying a little too hard. While her partying it up has no real repercussion, the issue came to her being on time when the crew was ready to hit the road the following morning. She was late and held up the tour buses on numerous occasions. The feeling backstage was after her health scare, and the fact she’s had heat on her a few times over the last year, she would go out of her way to not direct attention on herself. Obviously, this was the last straw her for her as she was fired on Thursday.

» The latest word on next Monday night’s WWE Draft is that it will feature the usual RAW vs. SmackDown! matches with the winning teams getting the next draft pick.
