WWE STAR BACKS AWAY FROM CLAIMS OF SWINE FLU

Cryme Time's Shad Gaspard backed off claims he was suffering from swine flu when he pulled out of a bout set for the final WWE TV Taping before last week's Bragging Rights PPV.

After writing he was officially recovered from the disease, Gaspard wrote, "Yea I'm feeling better....no pig flu just wasn't feeling well." on his twitter account.

There were some in the company that felt Gaspard used illness as an excuse to avoid losing to Matt Hardy on that episode of Smackdown, something Gaspard somewhat denied during his apology to fans for missing the match.

Thanks to Brandon Kosal for his help.
