More WWE News and Notes Steve Gerweck - Friday, July 3 2009 - 10:01 PM
- Apparently the announce teams are a lot happier these days with Vince McMahon more involved in the storylines. The common practice of Vince yelling down their headsets during TV tapings was what led Mick Foley to leave the company.
- Jemma Palmer, the model and former British Gladiator, will be going by the name of Penelope Carwin in FCW. She was just signed to a developmental deal.
- Joey Styles has been banned from espousing extreme political rants on his Twitter. Even though they got him over with Vince McMahon there was a lot of heat on him from some executives who were worried about upsetting advertisers.
- Former WWE official Dave Hebner was on the Bubba radio show in Tampa on Monday. Apparently he now works in a bowling alley in Richmond, VA. He said in his best year he made $218,000 while working for WWE. He put over Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and Triple H but buried Ultimate Warrior saying he was the dumbest guy he ever came across in wrestling. Well, of course he would say that. Bubba brought up how WWE fired the Hebner's a few years ago over the merchandising scam, but Dave didn't have much to say about it.
