Anyone who saw TNA Impact this week may have noticed , amongst the plethora of "stars" gracing us with their presence in the audience, a familiar face in Robbie McAllister, aka one half of WWE tag team The Highlanders.
He was shown on close-up, and even had a caption underneath which read WWE WRESTLER Derek Graham-Couch (his real name).
I thought it was quite remarkable to see an active WWE star on a TNA show, but now it appears the suits at Titan Towers were most displeased at his apparent lack of respect for the "premier brand".
So much so, that it's been reported that he's been sent home and will play no part in tonight's WrestleMania extravaganza (if indeed he had a part to play in the aforementioned extravanza).
Sour grapes or what. I thought kayfabe died when WCW did.
But anyway, with the bigshots in town (Orlando), TNA were forced to check out of one of the top hotels there as the WWExpress steamrollered it's way to the seaside, and hogged all the best rooms.
I know this is childish of me, but I hope someone from TNA tries to pull a prank at the live show tonight. I want to see some rivalry again.
But knowing the squares at WWE, they'll magically, and expertly remove any blemishes from the "live" broadcast, and create a news blackout with legal threats etc, so we never know whether anything untoward happened or not.
Where's the excitement these days?
