As reported exclusively on Dot Net early this morning, WWE senior vice president John Laurinaitis and TNA vice president Jeff Jarrett were among the representatives of both companies hanging out together in an Orlando bar on Friday night.

One observer who was among those at the bar said Jarrett looked very surprised when he walked in and spotted so many WWE performers at the bar. However, he and Laurinaitis were spotted chatting for a brief time and all the wrestlers continued to hang out.

Here's a list of some of the talent and personnel who were hanging out at the bar/restaurant located near the airport: Laurinaitis, Jarrett, Kevin Nash, MVP, Karen Angle, Mr. Kennedy, Shelton Benjamin, Edge, Christian, Samoa Joe, Rhino, Robert Roode, Gail Kim, Scott Steiner, ODB, Traci Brooks, Jeremy Broash, and poor David Penzer, who was telling people he lost his cell phone.

Former WCW wrestler Glacier (a/k/a Ray Lloyd), who is now a middle school teacher, was also hanging out at the bar and visiting friends. At least one member of Curt Hennig's family was in the bar.

Powell’s POV: I originally sat on the wrestler names because I didn't want to see anyone from WWE get in trouble even though I assumed they wouldn't since Laurinaitis was with them. Better safe that sorry. However, the word going around now is that WWE officials weren't that specific regarding fraternization.

They definitely weren't happy about Robbie McAllister appearing on camera at the TNA event and they don't want their performers making appearances at TNA functions or posing for pictures with the other company's performers, but I don't think they went so far as to order no contact whatsoever.

Of course, there were plenty of fans at the bar and pictures were probably taken, but one can only assume that the WWE talent was wise enough to avoid posing for any photos with their supposed rivals. In other words, there were probably no 10-second poses with Edge and Christian, which is a damn shame.

I was also told that Undertaker and his regular female companion were spotted picking up (and I don't mean that in the Johnny Fairplay sense) Booker T and Sharmell at another location in Orlando. In other words, I think the WWE edict was either overstated or just isn't being taken very seriously by the talent and even management members.
