WWE issued the following statement: WrestleMania 27 Travel Packages will be available for purchase at WWE Shop at the end of July. As soon as information is available, it will be posted on WWE.com.
Wade Barrett and Drew McIntyre were written off television this past week due to visa issues. Nobody knows for sure when they will be back as both will have file new paperwork from the UK, and that process can take time, perhaps longer for McIntyre as he recently married Tiffany, and the process is more complex when your spouse is a U.S. citizen.. [reported by Mike Aldren]
Undertaker (Mark Calaway, 45) and Michelle McCool, 30, got married this past weekend at what was described as “a beautiful” ceremony in South Texas. The ceremony was attended by family and friends, including former Divas Torrie Wilson and Lisa Marie Varon (Victoria/Tara), and Booker T with a very pregnant-with-twins Sharmell Huffman. The couple got together three years ago. This is the third time down the aisle for Taker while McCool was previously married to her high school sweetheart. . [reported by Mike Aldren]
TNA Bound For Glory on October 10th, 2010 will be held in Daytona Beach, Florida.

ECW & NXT ring announcer Savannah (aka Angela Fong) has been released by World Wrestling Entertainment. This comes as a shock to many as she may not have been the greatest ring announcer, but she wasn’t even given a chance to be an active wrestler OR an on-screen character on WWE television. She was thought to have a lot of potential quickly after being signed several years ago. There’s another one for TNA to scoop up! [reported by Brad Dykens]
A new announcer hired, Ashley Valence, has taken over Matt Striker’s hosting spot on NXT. Virtually nobody knew she was coming in until she showed up this week for TV. Ashley is her legit name but the later part may be kayfabe. She was previously co-emcee for the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum, a job she got after sending in some modeling photos that landed on the desk of Michael Heisley, majority owner of the Grizzlies. Her previous hosting experience includes working the rodeo circuit in Nashville. She’s originally from South Florida and was once a contestant in the Miss Florida pageant. Apparently, she likes to party hard, and was kicked out of four different colleges. She is also a huge UFC fan, which is a dirty word in the company, because it is with Vince. .

Jake Roberts has issued the following statement on an upcoming show where he has been falsely booked: “To my fans, friends, anybody else planning to show up August 15th, 2010 at Justin Credible’s Pro Wrestling Icons II show in Cromwell CT. I won’t be there. Any questions? Maybe YOU can get Justin to call you back. GOOD LUCK with that. Good luck if you are going, I’d sure make an advance inquiry as to who’s really going to be there, or if there is really a show. I have no idea what has happened, except everyone that I have spoken with that is involved has abandoned ship. I got the message, I hope you do too.”
