— NXT Rookie David Otunga is scheduled to work SmackDown house shows. Company officials feel he has star potential and the feeling is they want him to get more experience on the road since his wrestling isn’t close to ready.
— The pre-sale code for the July 13th WWE SmackDown! event in Lousiville, Kentucky at Freedom Hall is SMACK2010. The pre-sale begins tomorrow.
— As noted earlier, World Wrestling Entertainment today denied a report from wrestling author Irv Muchnick that the company fired general counsel Jared Bartie over a sexual harassment claim. In an e-mail to CorpCounsel.com, WWE said Bartie “was not terminated by WWE. Jared Bartie and WWE have parted ways amicably. James Langham is acting general counsel for WWE.” It should be noted that WWE did not actually deny the sexual harassment claim. According to Muchnick’s report, a female co-worker from the company’s sales department accused Bartie of making unwanted advances on her at a WrestleMania XXVI after-party in late March. Muchnick also reported that the female co-worker in question was terminated last month. She was reportedly caught in a sex act with a subordinate male employee at the company’s work offices, during work hours.
