I actually like your inclusions for the High Dollar Corporation and hopefully you can use the stable wisely in it's feud with 'Taker, Guerrero/Angle needs some closure and hopefully that will come at No Mercy with an also hopeful Angle/Haas feud set to start.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Thanks for the reply y2gudge. The inclusions for the High Dollar Corporation were thought out for quite a while before I even started this diary - they needed to be right. Not to mention the positions filled by these wrestlers fit their character - even before joining the Corporation. A Angle/Haas feud has me watering at the mouth also - not to mention the tester match between the two will be on next week's Smackdown.

Thanks again for the feedback.

WWE Resigns Nathan Jones

The man who left WWE just under a year ago today re-signed a new contract. Nathan Jones missed his family and home country and made the decision to quit his job on the Smackdown roster last December. But now sources say that Jones is feeling fitter than ever and more than ready mentally to return to the ring. While a lot of fans remember the lack of wrestling skill the Australian showed during his last time in the WWE it has to be said that a lot of main officials within the company are very high on Jones, a big push should be expected. His contract is rumoured to be for six months with an option for extension. However Jones is not expected to make his debut with the Smackdown roster until after No Mercy.
