The Chicago Tribune has picked up the Muhammad Hassan/Undertaker terrorist storyline from SmackDown. You can read their article on the controversy online at chicagotribune.com.

Both Steven Richards and Blue Meanie were backstage at the SmackDown! tapings last night, but were opted not to be used by WWE management on the show. Mike Bucci did appear during the taping as Simon Dean, so it appears he'll be working as him and as Hollywood Nova for now.

Tommy Penmanship of Chaotic Wrestling was the guy who appeared in The Undertaker segment that will air on SmackDown! this Thursday. Mo Sexay, Nigel McGuiness, and Matt Striker were also backstage at the show last night, but not used.
