Everyone in WWE was said to be very pleased with the USA Network renewing RAWâ<80><99>s contract through 2010. While the company maintains that they would be able to self broadcast at any moment on WWE.com, no one actually wants to see that happen.

Luna Vachon announced in a bulletin on her MySpace page (www.myspace.com/lunavachon) that she’s retiring from the wrestling business. Her body cannot handle the rigors of wrestling anymore, hence the retirement. Her last match takes place at an indy show in Milwaukee later tonight. Here is her message: You heard it here first. Hey Lunatics. I just want to let you all know how much I appreciate all of your love and support, that is why it hurts me so much to tell you all this. On Friday December 7th in Milwaukee I will be retiring from wrestling. My body has just taken on way too much abuse and I cannot actively compete. I just want you all to know that I love you all and i will miss seeing all my wonderful fans. If you live in the Milwaukee, Chicago area I hope you can make it out and see me one last time. Just so you know this was not an easy decision for me, but I have to do what is best for my future. Hope you can come and see me at Blizzard Brawl more info here www.BlizzardBrawl.com. Love and God Bless, Luna
