- Carlito is still being punished for wanting to leave for TNA but once the WWE feels he has been humbled he should be in line for a nice push.
Brooke Hogan had the following to say on her MySpace in response to her friend having an affair with her father:
"When your best friend and one of your closest family members that you have loved unconditionally since your first day on this earth betrays you together, you could maybe find it in yourself to forgive one day, but you will never forget the hurt they caused you and how it hurt the people who mean the most to you.”
According to a July 2005 article in the San Diego Union-Tribune, David Chao, the doctor who performed biceps surgery on Rey Mysterio yesterday, has been sued 18 times in San Diego Superior Court, including four times by San Diego Chargers football players, for medical malpractice, negligence, or fraud. Five of the suits have been settled with undisclosed payouts to the plaintiffs, and eight others were dropped for various reasons. Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf is among the former players who claims his career was cut short because of malpractice by Chau’s company Oasis Sports Medical Group. However, Leaf later dropped his claim against Chao and his former business partner because he didn’t feel like pursuing it.

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Wrestling Entertainment issued a statement from Chairman Vince McMahon concerning comments made at today’s Congressional Hearing in Washington, DC.
Any suggestion made today by Members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce that I or my organization, WWE, have been uncooperative or that I have in any way “flipped [my] finger” at the Committee by not accepting its invitation to testify today is inaccurate and unfair. The WWE has provided over 3,000 pages of documents and cooperated with all requests from the Committee, as we have with similar requests from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The first and only response to our cooperation from the Committee on Energy and Commerce was an invitation to testify at today’s hearing sent to me by Congressman Rush on January 23, 2008. In that letter, he clearly states that I have the right, according to House rules, to be accompanied by my own counsel. I responded to the invitation to testify by declining for that very reason. My attorney of 20 years, Jerry McDevitt, is unavailable because he is currently representing another client on trial in Pittsburgh, PA (U.S. vs. Cyril Wecht). Since I sent my letter of declination 30 days ago, there had been no response from the Committee until today’s unfair and inaccurate comments made by members of the Committee. Despite this, as I pledged in my January 28, 2008 letter to the Committee, I remain willing to cooperate fully with the Committee's inquiry.
WWE has provided two attachments that include WWE Letter of Declination to Chairman Rush and Chairman Rush’s Invitation to Vince McMahon to Testify.
