Regarding the story reported by TMZ.com earlier today claiming that the two individuals named in the Dr. Astin indictment under the initials OG and MJ were wrestlers Rey Misterio (Oscar Gutierrez) and Mark Jindrak, all I can tell you is that the story was pulled and TMZ sent out e-mails saying the story was officially being "recalled". As noted several times, there is no guarantee OG and MJ are even wrestlers (though they may very well be), only that they are patients Astin treated.

We are also sad to report the death of Moondog Nathan last night. No other details at this time.

The Dave Meltzer Figure Four Daily also will likely be taped later this week, perhaps Friday or Saturday. Dave is finishing up a second issue of the Observer tonight (second straight two-issue week) and likely won't be available. Thanks to everyone for your understanding! {plug}
