Umaga News & More

-- There have been some rumblings about Umaga switching brands to go to SmackDown. Head Raw writer Brian Gewirtz is pushing hard to keep him. At one point, there was a plan for Umaga to go to SmackDown to feud with Undertaker.



-- Vince McMahon was said to be furious over how the Roddy Piper & Santino Marella segment came off on Raw last week. No word yet on why McMahon was so upset with the segment. Bruce "Brother Love" Prichard produced the segment and got an earful from McMahon as a result.

Initialy, Umaga was supposed to be moved to Smackdown right after Wrestlemania to continue the feud with Batista. But as we all know, that didnt happened. Now the plans are that Umaga get switched to SD and feud with the Undertaker, witch would be an interesting feud.

As far as Vince being unhappy of how the Piper/Marella segment came off last week, well all i have to say is that if he thinks he can do better then he should produce the angles himself. Otherwise i would advise him to keep his mouth shut as he is the one who gave the approval to air the segment after all.
