From CNN live: Nick Bollea is sentenced to eight months of incarceration in the Pinellas County jail, five years of probation and 500 hours of community service, revocation of his drivers license for three years, prohibition of consumption of alcohol throughout probation, submission to alcohol counseling and advanced drivers education. The community service will be served at one day every month for the next 60 months. Financial restitution to the courts will also be made, but not determined until November 12, 2008.

It’s tough to admit when things have gone wrong, but I hope WWE can do that. I’m tired of not being sure whether my favorite wrestler is juiced up or not. It’s not fair to them and it’s not fair to the fans. They should also ensure people like Hardy get the help they need, because without that the Wellness Policy does nothing. As much as I have loved Smackdown and presumably Hayes’ booking over the last year, it’s time for him to go. It may be tough to find another booker to fill his shoes, but in the long run Smackdown and WWE will be better without Hayes on the payroll.
