— Michael McGroto sent this one in: Just wanted to pass along the word about the Smackdown taping last night in Louisville that my “Michelle McTaker” sign had been confiscated by the WWE during the Layla/Baretta vs. Masters/Kelly Kelly match despite being held up several times throughout the night. Many of the superstars that were in the ring waiting for their match to begin or were on stage for NXT noticed my sign and either laughed or shrugged their shoulders nervously. Just shows the power of the WWE to hide relationships and the amount of power the Undertaker has backstage with the rest of the guys.
— Here is the latest information on the new Florida upstart company that was reported on yesterday…
* Former WCW World Champion Vader has signed on with the company. Sean Waltman is also on board as we noted yesterday.
* Sterling Equities, parent company of The New York Mets organization, is not involved in the financing of the company. Milton Wilpon is personally financing the project.
* As of now, the company is trying to keep things under wraps as they don’t want too much news to get out until they have tapings planned. They also do not want to make fans feel like they are being teased and forced to wait for something to happen.
