Tino Martinez from Houston, TX sent this one in: I never thought I would ever see this happen. I heard about how stores don’t like mentioning anything to do w/Chris Benoit, but I didn’t expect to see it myself. At a Walmart a friend notice 2 WWE logo stickers covering someone. Turns out they placed these stickers over all the Adrenaline Packs that had Chris Benoit on the back preview for future series. It was a sad sighting…
Edge and The Major Brothers are expected to be pushed hard on this weekâs edition of WWE SmackDown (taped tonight – Tuesday). There has been talk of having a top heel group being formed on WWE SmackDown due to the lack of top heels on the roster.
