Speaking of crazy fans, Zavr Peygumbari, 22, from Brooklyn, NY was
arrested on 4/30 after he threatened to blow up Titan Towers.

He also
threatened to visit the WWE offices and take care of business with a
machete and machine gun, according to a published report in the
Connecticut Post. This all came about after he discovered that WWE fired
his favorite wrestler, Mickie James, so we know for sure it wasn't Jim
Cornette in disguise. Peygumbari was arraigned Monday afternoon and
ordered not to contact WWE employees, go near its Stamford offices, or
attend live events. His defense attorney, Mickey Sherman, described him
as an enthusiastic WWE fan who did not intend to follow through on his
threats. The charge list included four counts of fourth-degree
threatening, one count of second-degree harassment and two counts of
second-degree threatening. Peygumbari called WWE offices several times
between 4/24 and 4/27 demanding answers as to why Mickie James had been
let go. During one call he threatened to kill a WWE employee and his
entire family.

Peygumbari was caught when police arrested him in New
York City on marijuana charges and they matched his cell phone number to
the number that had been making the threatening calls. Police described
him as being, "emotionally disturbed." Peygumbari is due back in court
on 5/25.

probably the same they always state : Creative has nothing for that talent. The truth is, she put on a little weight, they told her to drop it, she was pursuing her music career and looking at outside projects, and on the European tour she was late to the bus making everyone wait on her and that was the last straw..

Sad really, hard to believe there are still fans like that.

As far as the WWE releasing her, she was pursuing other interests that Vince didn't have his hand in, therefore, they let her go as soon as they had a reason to.
