'The Hairline Kid' Sean Michaels; Smakdown Preview; WWE Sues Man Over Lost Cell Phone
When fans sh** on certain WWE stars for their piss poor in ring work, WWE changes the audio. WWE pipes in cheers and jeers when their feel a wrestler isn't getting the proper fan response. When a match is sloppy, well because the performer is sloppy and careless, WWE edits matches. Wrestling is and art that only a select few master. But in the wonderful world of WWE, their distortion of poor work magically turns into a Van Go.
Now you can add Photoshop to WWE's arsenal. This morning my email inbox is treated to these pics.

Now look at the right photo, which is currently on the mainpage of WWE.com. Notice is beautiful head of hair. No receeding hairline.
Take notice Candice Michelle. You may want to ask WWE to change your nose a bit for your future pictorals.

PARRISH MAN TAKES ON WWE
BRADENTON --When a Parrish man refused to return a lost BlackBerry communication device, professional wrestling got ready to rumble.
And the court case, at least, isn't fake.
The bout started April 6, when the World Wrestling Entertainment's music coordinator lost her cell phone at a baseball game at Yankee Stadium, where it was found by Louis Glennon Jr.
He kept a hold of it for more than a month.
And the battle - between Glennon and a Miami law firm for the WWE - was on.
On April 17, Glennon contacted the corporation's system administration director, believing the BlackBerry belonged to the wrestling corporation, according to papers filed Wednesday by a WWE attorney in Manatee Circuit Court.
Later that afternoon, the motion states, Glennon forwarded the director some of the e-mail messages stored on the BlackBerry, and stated that he was downloading information from the device that he "wouldn't feel comfortable sending via e-mail."
It was confirmed that evening that the device was WWE's property, and the director asked Glennon to send the phone overnight by cash on delivery, which wouldn't cost Glennon.
A week later they hadn't received the phone, so the company's legal department left Glennon a message asking him again to return the phone.
That might have been a wrong move.
According to the motion, Glennon, who could not be reached for comment Wednesday, returned the call later that afternoon, stating he was "insulted" by the corporation's legal department's call, and that it "seemed like a bully approach" to him.
". . . I mean if this is the approach that you want to take, then I guess, I, you know, I don't want to discuss any of this with any of you, anybody in the WWE, anymore."
Glennon, who admitted to sharing information with a family member, also said he called a few of the contacts on the music coordinator's phone - some of them celebrities in the entertainment world - and downloaded information from the phone.
But on Wednesday, it was smackdown time.
Citing the potential release of confidential trade secrets, as well as business sensitive information such as celebrity contact information, attorney Daniel Casey asked a Manatee County circuit judge to order Glennon to return the BlackBerry, identify anyone he might have shared the information with, and have a court-appointed computer specialist examine Glennon's computer to make sure it contains no information obtained from the device.
Within hours of the morning request, Circuit Judge Paul Logan agreed. He ordered sheriff's deputies to retrieve the device from Glennon's Foxbrook subdivision home and said a specialist would be appointed.
The next match hasn't been set, but Casey said Wednesday he's ready to jump in the ring again if necessary.
"It's an issue we will vigorously litigate in the courts," he said.
