Jeff Hardy Prankster Gimmick?, Orton's Future, Lots More

As noted over the weekend, Dusty Rhodes wants an on air role as ECW commissioner, with the idea of Rhodes feuding with an ECW heel general manager. The chances of doing the angle is said to be 50/50. Rhodes is currently working as a ECW writer with Dave Lagana.

Randy Orton has been motivated and seems happier since being sent home for trashing a European hotel room.

The current plan is to push the Hardy Boyz as singles that loses all the time but stays over. There is talk of tweaking Jeff and giving him a prankster character backstage.

The big push for developmental talent Daniel Rodimer (Dan Rodman) is apparently back on. Stephanie McMahon and John Cena are both high on Rodman, who was seen backstage on the 6/11 Raw. He also worked the house show main events last weekend.
