For the Holiday 2006 issue, WWE Magazine privately asked anonymous Superstars to name the “gassiest” people on the entire roster. Here are the WWE Superstars who got the most tallies: Top 7 Gassiest Superstars (as chosen by anonymous Superstars) 7. Armando Alejandro Estrada, 6. Gene Snitsky, 5. The Great Khali, 4. Hacksaw Jim Duggan, 3. Charlie Haas, 2. Big Show, 1. Little Bastard.

Internally, the feeling is that The Sandman better shape up or he could be shipped out. During the European tour in November, Undertaker wasn’t too fond of The Sandman’s obnoxious and loud ways. Undertaker was saying he could put up with Big Show because he’s used to him, but The Sandman was rubbing him the wrong way. Considering that the ECW wrestlers will now be touring with the SmackDown wrestlers, he is going to have to change his ways or he may not last as an employee for WWE.

The general feeling among the writing staff is that Heyman’s departure was the best thing for Paul and the company. Pantelis Ypsilantis was the only writer upset by Heyman leaving because he felt Paul had helped him keep his job over the last three weeks and was considered to be his latest protégé.

Rob Van Dam ended up not going to the Tribute to the Troops after all. They wanted him to go last year and he refused, and they put even more pressure on him this year and he refused again. There is a ton of heat on him for this.

There is talk of another round of roster cuts. With ECW expected to feature more talent from OVW in 2007, cuts are more likely from the ECW roster.
