Ruined Returns

[NormanSmiley]

this topic brings me back to something I wonder about with debuts,returns, insider info.

who is the fucking rat? if say vince calls guy x about coming back and they work out a deal shouldn't it be as easy as picking a day and the guy hopping a flight?

someone in corporate sees contracts and leaks it? a ring guy is the one getting info and passing it? or is there a network of guys always scoping indy booking and airports looking for links?

how did they keep the rock coming back under wraps? and if you were the WWE and wanted the rat found wouldn't you send out false info to diff people and see what comes to the surface?

I would imagine Rock's was easier to keep under wraps. He's a huge movie star that 1. doesn't need and/or want the pre-hype because he'll get plenty of attention after the return; 2. he's not dependent on WWE for another shot at glory/fame/wealth; 3. he has an exclusive team of people that he pays handsomely to handle his schedule, contracts, etc., that are true professionals and know when and how to keep their mouths shut

Plus, I believe he said he dealt exclusively with Vince when negotiating his return arrangements, so there was less chance of it leaking I suppose.
