- The WWF promotional department received a gold medal @ the Promax & BDA ceremony. The 7 awards the company walked away with were said to bring Vince Mc Mahon to tears.
- The first WWF/WCW card, held in Spokane on Sunday : X-Pac d Jeff Hardy... Tajiri d Spike... Ivory d Jackie... Shane Helms d Chavo, Jr... The Dudleys d Edge/Christian/Hollys... Albert d Kane in a cage match... Rhyno d Raven... Booker T d Buff Bagwell... Matt Hardy/ Lita d Big Show/ Trish... Chris Jericho d Wm Regal.
- Ricky Morton was featured on a card recently in Faith, N.C. as part of the 55th annual Fourth celebration.
- I've received a couple of preview pix of Tammy Sytch from her new website...
- Negotiations with Jerry Lawler broke earlier this week when he was sent a contract but wife Stacy was not. Arn Anderson was the replacement for Lawler last night on WWF Raw.
- WWF Raw last night did a 4.6 rating with a 7.7 share. The WCW angle peaked the show with a 5.0.
- Vince Mc Mahon was noticably disappointed with the WCW angle last night. He was especially critical of Buff Bagwell. The general consensus is that the WWF is botching the WCW angle and last night was a catastrophe. WCW midcarders were pushed as main eventers, and the WWF house did not buy into it. In the end, the WCW stars were pushed out the door, and the fans leaving should have felt the same way.
