Who Is Under WWE’s Scrutiny?, Regal, Matt Hardy Rumors

— As has been reported in recent weeks, the pressure Vince McMahon and other WWE officials have placed on announcers has subsided in recent weeks. Such pressure is instead being placed on the referees, the performance of whom has come under recent scrutiny.

— Figure 4 Weekly reports that Vince McMahon is not a big fan of Internet-favorite William Regal’s in-ring work. WWE officials have, nonetheless, been happy with his recent string of performances on ECW television.

— While Matt Hardy categorically denied his “being punished for the sins of others” was about his booking in the wake of Jeff Hardy’s arrest, instead saying it was about his having to pad his colleagues’ poor tips when they went out to eat after a SmackDown! taping, it was not as if no one within WWE speculated that the comment was meant to be about the Jeff Hardy situation. The Observer notes that even if Hardy was being completely honest about the reasoning behind his Twitter message, its superficial correlation to the more juicy situation was believable enough to make some internal sources skeptical.
