WWE STAR SET TO FINALLY RETURN FROM INJURY, CON MAN WHO USED WRESTLER IMITATIONS FOR FRAUD SENTENCED, WWE TRYOUTS AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2009-02-12 11:17:12

Ken Kennedy is expected back in the ring by the end of the month.

WWE will be holding their second open tryout at Florida Championship Wrestling in Tampa this May.  Several talents who took part in the first were offered developmental deals, so if you are serious about wanting to wrestle, this is probably a good investment for you.  For early details, visit http://www.fcwwrestling.com/.

A number of British news outlets picked up the story of Wayne Scott, who received a two year suspended sentence today in regard to attempting to pose as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to dupe an ill teenager into believing the former WWF champion was going to fly him to Miami, among other offenses.  He also imitating WWE star John Cena in an attempt to acquire free tickets from The Everton Football Club.  Some of you may remember stories of a man trying to imitate Heath Ledger's grieving father to several celebrities via phone after the actor's passing - well Scott was investigated for that as well.  Scott will also serve an electronically-tagged curfew at his home between 8pm and 7am, and have to complete 200 hours of community service, plus pay£388 in court costs.

Gambling site Ultimatebet.net will be the Canadian sponsor for Wrestlemania XXV and are hosting an online poker tournament where the winner will get a trip to the event in Houston, Texas this April.
