WWE Upset With Released Star, Tiffany Update, SD!, & More News

As you would imagine, WWE was really upset over the recent DUI arrest of Mike Mondo of the Spirit Squad, which soon led to his release from the company. His arrest was considered to be a "company embarrassment" since they had just warned the wrestlers about this sort of thing after getting some unwanted publicity from similar arrests involving Santino Marella and Ted DiBiase, Jr. He had been working under a mask as Mighty Mikey in Florida. He's now back work indy shows near his hometown in New York.

In case you don't know, Tiffany, the new assistant to ECW General Manager Theodore Long, has posed nude a few times for Playboy under her real name, Taryn Terrell. WWE used to shun girls who had posed nude before, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore.

WWE already has some dates scheduled in Latin America next year. WWE will be holding a SmackDown tour in Mexico from 10/16 to 10/19 with shows tentatively scheduled in Torreon, Guanajuato as well as two Palacio de los Deportes dates in Mexico City. WWE has plans to do a South American tour from 2/5 to 2/8 starting in Costa Rica. From 5/27 to 5/30, there will be another Smackdown tour of Mexico. From 8/5 to 8/8 there will be a Raw brand tour of Central and South America. From 10/8 to 10/11 there will be another South American tour from the Raw brand.
