However, some people have gone back to using marijuana and their push has not gone anywhere yet. We do need to realize that this does not mean that it won't stop so wrestlers don't need to get fixated on the idea that we can use it because "name your user here" didn't get in trouble.
They probably will get in trouble, and you will too if caught, especially if you're a young up-and-comer in the company.
Tony Atlas's Contract Expires
It has been reported that WWE Hall-of-Famer Tony Atlas' one-year WWE contract has expired. The WWE is said to not be re-signing Atlas, and this seemed obvious when Mark Henry got drafted to RAW without him.
ECW Writers have no idea how to use him, and they feel he won't be able to do any management role. He also won't be able to wrestle, considering his age and physical ability.
We will have to see if he, indeed, is not resigned, but that is the story for now.
Jerry Lawler...Mayor???
For some reason, WWE RAW announcer Jerry "The King" Lawler wants to get back into politics. He left the WWE for a little while because of his run for mayor of Nashville back in 1999-2000, but came back in 2001 after the Invasion storyline. He received 12 percent of the votes that year.
Now, he wants to get back into the fold. Will he win? I'm not too sure. I don't live in Tennessee, but Alabama, so I am not too sure who his opponents are. He isn't going to be running the city I live in, so I could care less.
Now, if he does the same as he did around 2000, then Lawler will be leaving for a little while.
I don't see him winning, but if he does how will that affect the RAW announcing team? You can't run a city while being on the road, so the WWE needs to be looking for someone to take his spot if you ask me. This is where you come in, B/R Writer and Editor Jeff Gorman!
Dolph Ziggler News
While we all know my love for Dolph Ziggler, I am not the only one. Recently, I was able to talk with an insider within the WWE that said he will be getting into the Intercontinental Title hunt very soon.
As the 411 reported, the WWE really loves what John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler are doing right now. Both are making the most of their pushes, and because of that, the WWE wants to push them even more.
While Edge and Matt Hardy are out, on top of having Undertaker out too. We have to think that the WWE will be pushing both soon just to fill spots anyway.
The insider I spoke with told me that the WWE is impressed with Ziggler and were surprised how well he did with such a small push. He looks to be a main event guy in a mid-card feud according to many, speaking of his storyline with Great Khali.
This means they feel he would work in a few main events, and he really would be a guy people saw as a true villain if he went over on a guy like Rey Mysterio. The WWE is also in contract issues with Mysterio, which means he may have to drop the title to someone soon anyway.
That someone looks to be Ziggler, so unless plans change, Ziggler will probably be the next Intercontinental Champion.
I, personally, would love to see this. Some have not been sold on Ziggler just yet, but I have been since day one. I saw what he could do, and I know what else he is capable of.
I went on a limb before saying he was the next biggest star in the WWE. I am going on another saying that he will be a World Champion within two to three years. He has all the talent in the world, and if he stays healthy, the WWE has no choice but to give him a World Title.
That is all for the 411 today. Make sure to come back for the next 411 Friday!
