Jeff Hardy/WWE.com Angle - Who's Idea Was It?, Stephanie's Weight Issues

? SmackDown writer Michael Hayes pitched the idea of WWE.com to do the publicity stunt involving Jeff Hardy. Vince McMahon gave him his full support and Stephanie directed the creative team on how the storyline would play out. WWE decided to go with the angle last week and only a few people outside of the writing staff were aware of the idea. Hardy, Edge and Triple H were among the few wrestlers approached about the storyline.

? In case you didn't notice, on Monday's RAW, WWE's cameras only shot Stephanie McMahon from the waist/chest up. Strangely, there were absolutely no full-body shots of Mrs. McMahon. According to a backstage source, it was no accident as the production crew did so on purpose due to Stephanie's body shape at the moment and because she was in somewhat of a form-fitting outfit on RAW. WWE's really particular on how they want their performers to look on television, as they don't want to show them in a less-than-stellar light. As you all know, Stephanie gave birth to her second child this past July, a daughter named Murphy Claire Levesque. This same camera tactic was done as recently as a few weeks before she gave birth when she made some on-camera announcements regarding the status of RAW from WWE's Studios in Stamford, CT. Of course, Stephanie was quite pregnant at the time, but you would never know it from the way she was shot on camera as she was only shot from the chest up. Anyway, Stephanie gained quite a bit of weight during her second pregnancy, which unfortunately for her, she hasn't completely lost yet, hence the business suits and slimming black outfits, and why you shouldn't expect to see her don anything too revealing in her latest on-camera role. It's pretty well known within WWE that Stephanie has had confidence issues in the past regarding her appearance, going as far to say that a rude fan sign at least in part influenced her to get breast implants, and once saying on-screen "that she's no Torrie Wilson" and that one of the reasons America is so great is because there are different body types and images.

? John Cena vs. Randy Orton will begin on the road this week.
