Diva search drawing disinterest, JBL gaining support, Eddie injury update and more

- Apparently John Bradshaw Layfield has converted some members of the locker room in WWE to back the idea of giving the WWE Championship to a wrestler of his talent level, as now many in the locker room are defending him and praising his improved workrate.

In his latest column at WWE.com, Tom Prichard wrote: "I feel that JBL has proven his worth as a champion and is getting more comfortable in that role as time goes on,". These words are said to reflect not only Prichard’s feelings, but reflect most opinions within WWE regarding how he is handling his surprising jump to the main-event scene.

However, not everyone is convinced with the idea of having Undertaker beat Bradshaw for the WWE Title at Summerslam, even short-term, especially those who have a stake in house show business.

Undertaker doesn’t work full time for Smackdown, as you may have guessed, he works part time, and some within WWE with power strongly believe they can't afford to have a part-time champion, even for a very short period. On the other hand, there are people within the company that believe Smackdown needs a top star to hold the title for a while to restore some credibility for the Smackdown title with casual fans.

- Road agent Dean Malenko has been unofficially put in charge of keeping an eye on Eddie Guerrero and trying to make sure he kept his spirits as high as possible.

- To update a story posted on this website yesterday, Eddie Guerrero is now being pulled out from all house shows until he has fully recovered from his hamstring injury suffered whilst working in Japan.

He’s likely to be resting for at least 2 weeks, if not longer. This shouldn’t affect plans for him to wrestle Kurt Angle at the upcoming Summerslam PPV as his resting is more precautionary than absolutely necessary.

If he had a big match on PPV Sunday, he could wrestle, but he'd be limited in what he could do and at great risk of another injury.

- Chris Benoit tells WWE.com that he doesn't dwell on the match in Japan where he broke Sabu’s neck. "No. At the time, it bothered me a lot, but it doesn't now," he tells WWE.Com. "I did something that is in the past, and it doesn't come across my mind. It was something that happened many years ago, and from that was born 'The Crippler'"

- Regarding the Flair-Foley-Hart controversy, one insider says: "All three of these guys love it. They shoot to the public and media but then smile at themselves in the mirror. All this does is re-affirm that the audience still cares for them which is what performers and athletes live for." Although most think Bret Hart is taking the war of words very seriously, many suspect Foley and Flair are enjoying the attention as much as they are upset by anything that is said.

- According to reports from correspondents at Raw, during the last two weeks, fans in attendance have not shown great interest in Diva Segments, with many heading toward the concourse during those segment.
