- Two days ago, wrestling legend Jake "The Snake" Roberts was placed in a nine-week rehab program by World Wrestling Entertainment. It appears Roberts was the first former WWE superstar to take the company up on their offer of paying for rehab for past talents.
Roberts has had a history of substance abuse and it comes to no surprise that he has entered into rehab. Roberts was last seen in a WWE ring before WrestleMania in 2005, confronting Randy Orton. The former WWE superstar also had a brief stint with TNA in 2006, that included a drunken promo on TNA iMPACT.
- Sources say Stephanie McMahon lashed out at Dave Kapoor, who plays Ranjin Singh, the translator for The Great Khali following the RAW Anniversary show on Monday. Apparently Stephanie felt Kapoor was having too much fun at the end of RAW when everyone basically broke kayfabe and celebrated in the ring at the end of the show. Kapoor was shown on TV quite a few times smiling and having a good time, no different than anyone else.
After the show, Stephanie called over Kapoor, who also works on the WWE creative team, and told him his behavior was highly unprofessional. Stephanie also intimated that if he didn't take "the job of a lifetime" serious, then he could be let go from the company. Stephanie also believes that someone on the creative team shouldn't be an on-screen character. Stephanie also mentioned how she had went to bat for him in the past in certain situations, and that he better not screw it up.
