SmackDown's Rene Dupree is in hot water with management right now. He was fined recently for doing his trademark dance during a match. Management has told him to stop doing the dance because it's starting to get a "face's pop" but they want to push him as a heel. In addition to working a couple a of sub par matches (in management's eyes), Dupree continues to fuel the flames.
Arn Anderson has become the wrestlers' favorite road agent. The guys love to work with him when they put matches together because Arn knows the psychology very well and really helps the workers get over with the fans. Dean Malenko isn't exactly beloved backstage, however, stemming from the match he put together for Rhyno which prompted Vince McMahon to crash and put a stop to it right in front of a crowd in Nassau County Coliseum.
Rey Mysterio, Johnny Stamboli and Mark Jindrak were fined for being late to the 8/22 house show in Bakersfield, CA.
John Hedienriech reportedly through a fit after his match with Scotty 2 Hotty at the 8/22 Bakersfield show. John missed a couple spots during the match, so at the end he was furious and cursed up a storm on his way backstage. He rearranged the backstage area a bit right in front management, and they did not take a liking to such behavior at all.
