Some recent dirtsheet stuff all from the Wrestling Observer:

Van Dam’s deal was described to us as similar to that of Chris Jericho. The idea is that he’ll be put in a similar position, since he’s starting roughly the time Jericho is leaving. We didn’t get clarified how long it was, other than it’s a several month deal where he’ll work TVs and PPVs, and some house shows, but not a full schedule.

On the Fandango concussion front, there is more concern on this one than some of the others because apparently Curtis Hussey has suffered a few documented concussions already.

Jacob Hager(Swagger), currently out after hand surgery, is scheduled for trial on 6/25 from his 2/19 arrest for a DUI in Gulfport, MS, shortly after a Smackdown taping in Biloxi. Swagger is facing fines of $437 for marijuana possession, $188 for speeding (he was going something like 45 in a 35, so it’s not like it was excessive speeding), and $1,300 for a first DUI offense, as well as a maximum two days in jail and potentially being ordered to attend classes.

Mike Bennett was told to hang tight but hasn’t been given a start date for Florida. He’ll be working for ROH until he starts up.
