— Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch is reporting that Chris Masters is indeed a part of the suspension list. He didn’t appear at the SmackDown taping on Saturday night. ESPN.com reported on Thursday that Chris Masters was a client of the busted Signature Pharmacy firm, but his name was never implicated in the article by Sports Illustrated. Masters will be out of action for 60 days because he is a second-time Wellness Policy offender. Masters’ first suspension took place in late May 2006 due to a problem with painkillers. If Masters violates the policy just one more time, he will be subject to termination from the company.

— Shad of Cryme Tyme has posted up a blog on his MySpace page regarding his release from WWE. According to the blog, he’s grateful for his time in WWE and hopes to be back one day. You can read the blog at this link.

— A few months ago, Vince McMahon did a commencement speech at Sacred Heart University and was given the honorary doctorate. As it turns out, he only got to do the speech because Linda McMahon is on their board. When the decision to let him do the speech was announced, there was a petition signed by many members of the faculty to not let him do the speech thinking he was the worst choice possible. In the end, the university let McMahon do the speech.
