**TMZ is reporting that the Pasco County Sheriff's office filed a report stating that crushed pills of oxycodone and a snorting straw were found at the scene where Luna Vachon was found dead this past Friday. The report also lists findings of various prescription pill bottles and pill residue on a tray with another snorting straw. Vachon had gone through WWE sponsored rehab on two separate occasions and had been living with her mother at the time of her death after her house burnt down a number of weeks ago.
**There is no episode of Ring of Honor next Monday due to Labor Day so tonight's show will be the last episode before the ‘Glory by Honor IX' event on September 11th.
**Mick Foley writes about the passing of Luna Vachon.
**Joseph Carl Bailey Jr., who wrestled as J.C Bailey most notably for Combat Zone Wrestling, IWA Mid South and worked some tours with Big Japan Pro Wrestling was found dead Monday morning at the age of 27. Bailey made his debut in 2001 after being trained by Ian Rotten, Chris Hero and Tracy Smothers and became a staple of the hardcore wrestling scene on the U.S independents. Bailey had returned to the independent scene this year after serving two years in prison after stealing a television set from a Wal-Mart location and had just turned 27 last Thursday. His father was also the promoter of Bad to the Bone Wrestling out of Kentucky, where Bailey worked early in his career.
**CZW released the following statement regarding the passing of Bailey:
It is with great sadness that CZW management has the unfortunate duty to again report on the news of the passing of another one of its own. Early this morning, CZW officials learned that Joseph Carl "JC" Bailey Jr. passed away in his home at the age of 27. JC was a beloved member of the CZW locker room, and a member of the extended Combat Zone family for nearly a decade. As a performer, JC was fearless. He was renowned and admired by fans and colleagues alike for his toughness, his resilience, and for the undying passion he showed for the sport of Professional Wrestling... the sport he loved. Away from the ring, JC was a true friend to so many people, and today, we all remember him, and mourn his loss. Rest in Peace JC Bailey.
**Charlie Haas will be our guest on The LAW next weekend to promote the ‘Glory by Honor IX' event headlined by Haas & Shelton Benjamin Vs Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli. We will also be joined by ‘Father' Jim Mitchell in the next few weeks for an in depth chat.

**WWE Studios will be releasing ‘Knucklehead' starring Big Show on November 19th on Blu Ray and DVD. The company will also be releasing a Bobby Heenan DVD on December 28th of this year.
**It was on this date the WWE held the 1998 ‘SummerSlam' from Madison Square Garden in New York City headlined by Steve Austin defeating The Undertaker in the main event to keep the WWF Title in a program that was built tremendously well over that summer and led to the company doing in excess of 700,000 buys for the show. The event also featured a memorable Ladder Match between The Rock and Triple H as both were on the rise and it was clear at this point in time that The Rock was going to be a huge star as that summer was a huge breakout period for him.
