So I guess they won’t be call ’em minis:
In an unprecedented collaboration, network executive Palmer Canon and SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long announced today the introduction of a new WWE wrestling division exclusive to Friday Night SmackDown: The Juniors.
The Juniors Division will be comprised of world-class athletes at or below 5 feet tall. “Midgets, dwarves, the little people; they’re all welcome,” said Long. “We don’t discriminate against anybody on my show, as long as they can bring it.”
“The network believes there’s big ratings and big excitement in the new Juniors Division,” Canon added. “I think fans will be shocked at what these tiny, but very talented, competitors can add to the already incredibly gifted roster here on Friday Night SmackDown.”

I strongly suspect this means Tzuki/Mascara Sagrada I to lead the division, and maybe 3-5 more guys to round out, on a limited length contract.

Meltzer said they’re negotiating w/ Pena.
–The WWE web site announced that Smackdown would be bringing in a “Juniors” division which would be basically a minis division. No names were announced, but it is believed to be minis from the AAA promotion, as Antonio Pena had been contacted over the past two days. The company is also trying to bring in non-minis from Mexico for Monday in Sacramento.
Thanks. Must’ve missed it reading that today.
