Haas/Benjamin Reuniting?, Rodney Mack's Return, & More News

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

There has been talk of putting Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin back together as a tag team to work a tag title program on Raw. There is on and off talk, usually off, of Benjamin being on a "death sentence", because the feeling is his promos are average and you need to be better than that. One insider said he could be a player but "because he can t recite several pages of a scripted promo he's considered hands off."

As reported earlier, WWE signed Rodney Begnaud aka Rodney Mack, 33, to a contract two weeks ago. The report of his signing on WWE.com said that he would be a teacher of sorts for the younger wrestlers while on the road, but that's not the case. He will only be wrestling and given a few month tryout. If he does well, he'll be given a long-term contract. Also, Mack is scheduled to wrestle for the ECW brand and they have a program idea for him. His wife, Carlene Begnaud aka Jazz, is currently on the ECW roster but has been sparingly used thus far. One would think that she'd be brought in to be his manager.

ECW.com has posted an article on original ECW Vixen Francine. The article is pushing her feud with Shelly "Ariel" Martinez. "I don't know who this butt-ugly vampire chick thinks she is," said an angry Francine. "Every time Balls has a match, she keeps sticking her mug into his business. ECW original stick together and Ariel's going to find that out the hard way." Interestingly, one passage of the article read, "The Sci Fi succubus (Ariel) told ECW.com that Francine's role in ECW is limited at best." Also, the preview for tonight's ECW on Sci Fi show says that you can expect something to take place between Francine & Balls Mahoney and Ariel & Kevin Thorn.
