Banned WWE Terms, Backstage X-Pac News, Triple H, More

WWE has made a list of words that announcers are not allowed to say on the air. The terms "belt" and "strap" have been banned on WWE television, not to mention OVW and DSW television. Vince McMahon thinks those words are linked to old-time wrestling and he wants to get away from that.

At the moment, Sean "X-Pac" Waltman is not in talks with WWE about returning even though he was at last weeks RAW brand house show as an invited guest of Triple H. The holding point that prevents him from joining WWE is that he is signed to a contract with Wrestling Society X – MTV's wrestling show project. Waltman was able to appear at the WWE house show because the WSX contract does not prevent him from working non-televised events. He can also appear in dark matches, but if WWE wants him to appear on television, they would have to strike some sort of deal with WSX.

Former WCW wrestler Tank Abbott has been signed to the Jakks Pacific WWE Classics Superstar line.
