– Former WWE star Orlando Jordan appeared on the Monday Night Mayhem radio show this past week. Jordan was asked about Michael Hayes' much talked about backstage altercation with Mark Henry. Jordan said the whole situation is "very unfortunate," "sad," and "a shame." Orlando said that he never had any problems with Hayes, and that the two had a pretty good relationship. Jordan said that he had a lot of respect for Hayes during his time in the company, noting that he gave him some encouraging words when he was starting out in WWE. Jordan said that Mark Henry is a good friend of his as well. However, Jordan said that if the story is indeed true, WWE should consider removing Hayes from his position. Jordan said he can only speak for what he saw, but cannot speak for what may have happened behind closed doors or behind people's backs.
