Dot Net Exclusive Notes: Undertaker update, ECW creative plans changed

-Just to put an end to all the conspiracy theories, Undertaker is not retiring or leaving WWE, nor has he violated the Wellness Policy. The line used by multiple sources is that Taker is merely taking time off to let nagging injuries heal. "He's making huge money," said one source who stressed that Taker isn't going anywhere. "He has a long-term deal."

-Vince McMahon called for a slew of rewrites for the ECW show on Tuesday. The original draft of the show included a number of pre-taped backstage segments, but Vince wanted more of a straight forward wrestling show. The show wasn't finalized until early afternoon on Tuesday.

Powell's POV: I'll have more to say about both of these stories in the Dot Net podcast later today. As far as the ECW situation goes, I really enjoyed the show last night and I wish Vince would take this approach more often.
