— The “Pretty Ricky” character was to appear in another segment on this week’s SmackDown. Inside reports say that R-Truth personally came up with the gimmick and received positive notice from WWE officials when he was joking around with the character backstage. Chris DeJosephs (Big Dick Johnson) is scripting the segments, and Vince McMahon is said to be a huge fan.
— Regarding Evan Bourne’s absence from RAW and omission from the Six Pack US Title match, sources say there is no heat on the wrestler. Reports claim that WWE never considered Bourne part of the feud with names like Kofi Kingston and Big Show (which is interesting given recent booking on RAW), thereby ruling out the idea that his absence from the match was some sort of punishment. It remains unclear why WWE removed him from the RAW booking, which had him slated to wrestle Brian Kendrick.
— Creative recently threw the Hulk Hogan name around as a potential RAW guest host. Vince McMahon quickly shot it down.
