Heat Over Teddy Long/Vickie Guerrero, Flair Return?, More

Big Backstage Update On Ric Flair & WWE
-- The PWTorch Newsletter reports that many WWE workers were upset with Theodore Long being put on storyline "probation" based on the mere possibility that his tenure as Smackdown general manager could be in jeopardy. The feeling is that Long serves as a great ambassador for WWE and is a true team player--"I think they would be so poorly advised to make a switch in the management role,” a source told the Torch.

-- WWE officials made it clear to Ric Flair that while the door remains open for his participation, there is no interest in an in-ring return for "The Nature Boy."

-- In an archived interview with John Cena that G4 has up, the description for him is, "Wrestler turned Mix Martial Artist John Cena."

-- A number of sources have come to WWE's defense regarding rumors that Vickie Guerrero was severely underpaid during her tenure. While no one says she was setting earnings records, sources have said that she was getting paid the expected total for someone in her role. Reports that she was forced to pay for her own hotel room and transportation also appear to be false. There has been discussion about her treatment in the company, but it definitely appears recent reports exaggerated the negatives.
