Ultimo Dragon will be making his return to WWE this November.
It's expected his return will be towards the end of the month.
Upon his return, he will be wrestling without his mask, working as under his real name.

WWE released former tag-team champion Rikishi last week.
Rikishi hasn't been in action lately due to an ankle injury, and the general feeling amongst others was that he wasn't exactly hurrying to return as quickly as he could have.
Reasons for this were believed to be down to the fact that he had a higher downside than an upside to wrestling, thus made just as much money not working, as he would have working.

GREENBELT, Md. -- The president of the North Beach chapter of the Hells Angels is heading to federal prison.Anthony Beal, 38, of Dunkirk, was sentenced Monday to three years and 10 months in prison for cocaine and firearms offenses.
U.S. District Court Judge Alexander Williams also ordered Beal not to have any contact with the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club for two years after he's released.
Undercover agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found a gun in the North Beach chapter's clubhouse in Owings and saw Beal sell $180 worth of cocaine.
ATF agents later searched the clubhouse and found two pistols and a shotgun. Ammunition was also found at Beal's Dunkirk home. He pleaded guilty in January.

MTV spoke to Adam Sandler who revealed new cast additions for his upcoming Paramount film, The Longest Yard, featuring Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, and James Cromwell.

In what is likely to be the smallest backfield former NFL linebackers Brian Bosworth and Bill Romanowski have ever faced, Nelly will play the running back to Sandler's quarter- back in the remake. He'll also record a song for the film.
Sandler's team of inmates, who take on a team of prison guards, will have an NFL star of their own in former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin, as well as a few wrestlers.

"[Eric 'Extreme'] Goldberg, Steve Austin, Kevin Nash - [will face off against the prison guards]," said Sandler. Veteran actress Cloris Leachman will play the secretary for the prison's sadistic warden, played by Cromwell.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia--ICANN, the U.S. body overseeing Web site allocations globally, has launched a new technology that will allow virtually unlimited Internet addresses, its chairman told Reuters on Tuesday.

Vinton Cerf of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) said the next-generation protocol, IPv6, had been added to its root server systems, making it possible for every person or device to have an Internet Protocol address.

Rapid growth in the use of the World Wide Web has in recent times prompted concerns about future scarcity of domain addresses, with demand threatening to overload the existing system, IPv4.

"This is a big, big step," Cerf said, speaking on sidelines of ICANN's annual conference in the Malaysian capital.

Los Angeles-based ICANN was given the job of overseeing the Internet's naming and numbering system globally by the U.S. government.

Cerf said that about two-thirds of the 4.3 billion Internet addresses currently available were used up. He added that IPv6 could magnify capacity by some "25,000 trillion trillion times."

He said the IPv6 system would run parallel to IPv4 for about 20 years to ensure that any bugs or system errors were weeded out.

Pfizer Corp. announced today that VIAGRA will soon be available in
liquid form and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage
suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to
literally pour himself a stiff one.

Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new
meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old
fashioned "stiff drink" Pepsi will market the new concoction by the
name of...................Yep, you guessed it. ... "MOUNT & DO"

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.

For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still shaking driver said, "I'm sorry but you scared the daylights out of me."

The frightened passenger, apologized to the driver, and said he didn't realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.

The driver replied, "No, no, I'm sorry, it's my entire fault, today is my first day driving a cab.... I've been driving a hearse for the last
35 years."

Guy gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to a cute blonde.
He immediately turns to her and makes his move.
"You know," he says, "I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.
So let's talk."
The blonde, who had just opened her book, closes it slowly and says to the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"
"Oh, I don't know," says the guy. "How about nuclear power?"
"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic.
But let me ask you a question first.
A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff--grass.
Yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cow turns out a flat patty, and the horse produces muffins of dried poop.
Why do you suppose that is?"
The guy is dumbfounded.
Finally he replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."
"So tell me," says the blonde, "how is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"
