Developmental wrestler arrested, Eminem - WWE rumor, shareholders
On Friday, February 15, 2008 at 6:14 PM EST PWInsider is reporting that WWE developmental wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr. was arrested and charged with DUI earlier this morning in Tampa, FL. DiBiase, who is 25, was taken into custody following a 3:30 a.m. crash when his SUV struck another vehicle. The Tampa Tribune has an article up about the incident at this link.
MediaTakeOut.com has an article up at this link noting that hip hop star Eminem is "secretly training" to appear for World Wrestling Entertainment in the next few months. At this point, this shouldn't be considered anything more than just a rumor. It is known that WWE has been wanting to book a potential celebrity match for WrestleMania 24 this year, so this could be it.
