- At a recent meeting in Danbury, Connecticut, with the ECW wrestlers, Paul Heyman assured them that the company would be completely caught up on payroll within the next month, as they were still a week behind. He also told them that the company was not going out of business and said that there were big things in the works which hang on the outcome of the WWF vs. USA Network court case. In addition, he said that one way or another, he believes ECW will have a new television home in the coming months and reiterated his take on the changing TV landscape. Furthermore, he gave the wrestlers advice on dealing with the media by telling them that he doesn't discourage anyone from talking to them, but he asked them to think about how it would affect the company and families of the wrestlers; he also pushed the wrestlers on the record, assuring them that they won't get in trouble as long as they spoke the truth. Also, Heyman denied the Internet reports about Balls Mahoney and/or New Jack asking him about the late PPV bonuses at the last meeting.

- Balls Mahoney got into an altercation with a fan outside the building in Salem, Massachusetts. Apparently, Balls was posing for pictures in the parking lot and a fan asked him which hurts more, blading his forehead or blading his arm. Balls got upset and "pie-faced" the fan. As he was leaving in his car, the fan yelled something at Balls, which further upset him. Balls then ran after the car and yelled something at the fan as he sped out of the parking lot. Balls isn't very popular in the locker room. Many say that he tries extremely hard to be friendly, but he is unpopular nonetheless. This could be the reason why he is booked on many FMW tours, but his defenders say that FMW officials are said to be high on his work.
