In an interview last month Todd Grisham told WHTK-AM in Rochester, N.Y. that he was hired by WWE by him sending a demo tape to WWE after one of his friends suggested that he should. WWE then brought him in for an interview and hired him. Grisham said that he has no worries from moving from "real sports" to "pro wrestling" as he was just working weekends for the Tucson, Ariz. TV station at that time.

Carlito's brother, Eddie Colon, was given a tryout at the May 8 WWE SmackDown & ECW event. He wrestled against Shannon Moore and defeated him.

The current word in the WWE locker room is that Mr. Kennedy was definitely expected to win the WWE championship until he got injured. Edge was then moved to SmackDown and was the replacement plan.
