Mere hours after Luna Vachon’s death last Friday, World Wrestling Entertainment issued a statement addressing the many former wrestlers who have passed away as a result of substance abused related issues.

The statement reads:

“Not withstanding our extensive Talent Wellness Program for current Superstars, WWE goes to great lengths to help our former talent who may have substance abuse problems, offering complete drug rehabilitation at no cost to them. Ultimately, however, stars in any form of entertainment should be held personally responsible for their own actions. Prescription drug overdose is a problem not only with former WWE talent, but society as a whole according to the Center for Disease Control, as it is the second leading cause of unintentional death (particularly among younger people) in the U.S.”

-Teddy Hart has entered rehab reports Dave Meltzer. Teddy claims that he was told by his uncle Bret Hart that if he completes the program he will try and get WWE to give him another shot. Hart was recently a member of AAA in Mexico but was fired from the promotion after refusing to do jobs and getting match finishes changed so that he would look good.

- Regarding former WWE Diva Katie Lea Burchill’s tryout match for TNA Wrestling last week, one observer dubbed her performance as “okay” and “nothing spectacular.” Meanwhile, talk amongst others within the company was more positive.

No word yet on whether she will be offered a contract.

-Catching up with Steve Blackman
