WHAT A WWE DEVELOPMENTAL DEAL ACTUALLY IS, JAMES DUDLEY AND MORE

Hello, I was just wondering what happened to Daizee Haze since I haven't read a result of one of her matches in a very long time.

Haze is still involved in the business. She often works in a production position for the Ring of Honor TV and iPPVs.

When Brooke Teshmacher defends her Knockout title at Hardcore Justice will Earl Hebner be referee for the title match? He was intrumental in allowing Madison Rayne to defeat (screw) both Mickie James and most recently Tara. Do you expect Rayne to win the title at Hardcore Justice with the help of Hebner? If she does win the title do you see her dropping him like a hot potato?

I haven't heard anything definitive on the finish yet but one has to think that they will have the Rayne interest in Hebner play into the storyline sooner than later. Hebner did screw Bret Hart, so what will he do for Rayne?

Mike Johnson reported that Sarah Del Rey was offered a developmental deal with WWE. Forgive me for sounding naieve but what exactly does that mean? What exactly is a developmental deal? Has she signed with WWE or not?

A WWE developmental contract means you are basically going to work for the company's minor league feeding system, similar to have Major League Baseball has the AAA and AA teams. You go to Tampa and train at their facility and wrestle for FCW. The company monitors your progress and how you can improve when it comes to what they want you to focus on and improve upon. If you nail what they are looking for or even have the right timing to be in the right place at the right time when they are looking to fill a role, you will end up on the main roster. If not, they will bring you up for periodic dark matches so they can how you are doing and what ideas they can come up with for you. I don't believe Del Rey has officially signed yet as she is still working independents.

Is it true that Vinny Mac's limousine driver was inducted into their Hall of Fame? Did he give an acceptance speech and if so was it recorded?

You are referring to James Dudley. He was inducted for his work with the company, including managing and promoting as much as driving Vince McMahon Sr. later on in life. He did give a speech when he was inducted in the first WWE Hall of Fame class in 1994.

Who is Reby Sky?
