WWE News: JBL's Injuries, Flair's Return, Umaga Talking and More
Posted by Larry Csonka on 07.02.2008

A lot of WWE news!

- There has been a lot of doubt regarding the future of JBL. His back is in
a lot of pain, and he isn't able to perform at the level he would like. He
is believed to be hurting to the point that he can't train as effectively as
he would like, which is hurting his conditioning.

- Behind the scenes there were a lot of people second guessing Ric Flair
returning to TV in the Chris Jericho segment a couple of weeks back. Shawn
Michaels felt he needed to week off to sell his injuries, and Flair was
called to fill the void. A lot of people feel that his return, after such a
huge send off was wasted because of how last minute it was put together.

- The company's seven-day tour of Australia and New Zealand drew a total of
68,000 paid and a total of $5 million over the seven shows. The company was
very pleased with the final numbers.

- There is talk of slowly transitioning the Umaga character to where he will
eventually do interviews for himself.

- Carlito has been talking like he will be staying with the company.
