Speaking of RVD, there was a lot of talk backstage among the workers last night about the fact that it certainly appears he has been de-pushed since he has been programmed on Velocity for two straight weeks now. When I saw that they did that to him again, I wondered if maybe he hadn't signed his new deal yet but I was told he has, so WWE is just not pushing him, for whatever reason. With SummerSlam a few weeks away, that is not a good sign for RVD since spots on the show will already be tough to get since it's a co-branded show. It's amazing to me that WWE just can't find an effective way to use a guy that so many fans have loved in the past and still want to cheer today, despite not getting much of push since coming to the company.
