- Jim Neidhart worked an indy show in Scotland this past week. After an angle, he claimed he would be bringing in a member of the Hart Foundation on the next show to get revenge. More likely than not, there is nothing to it but I suppose it's possible that Davey Boy Smith could be brought in.- The updated card for the 2001 Brian Pillman Memorial show looks like this:
>> Pepper Parks (w/ Brock Guffman) vs. Sharkboy vs. Reckless Youth vs. Matt Stryker (w/ Hellena Heavenly) - HWA Cruiserweight title
>> Race Steele vs. Nick Dinsmore - HWA Heavyweight title
>> Steve Corino vs. David Flair - NWA title
>> Terry Taylor vs. Bobby Eaton (w/ Jim Cornette) - Legends match
>> Mark Henry vs. Hugh Morrus - WWF vs. WCW match
>> X-Pac vs. Jerry Lynn vs. TBA
>> Justin Credible/Raven vs. Perry Saturn/Dean Malenko - Invasion match
>> Diamond Dallas Page vs. Chris Kanyon vs. Booker T - Special Referee: Ricky Steamboat - WCW Rivals match
>> The Hardy Boyz vs. TBA
VIP Commissioner: William Regal
VIP Guests: Ricky Steamboat, Electra, Missy Hyatt
Ring Announcers: Steve DeAngelis, David Penzer
Referees: Charles Robinson, Joe Kopez, Steve Hooper, Bill Alfonso, Scott Dickerson
- According to reports, Steve Austin's back injury has been hurting so much lately, that he might not even step back into the ring until the Summerslam Pay-Per-View on August 19th. Austin may take ring time off until the PPV in order to be in the best physical possible shape, since he is slated to face the Rock.
- Jerry Lawler's return to the WWF is basically a dead issue at this time. While there is still a chance for Lawler to return, and the door remains open for him to do so, both parties agree that now is not the right time. Some members of management are rather dissapointed at tht fact that the deal fell through for Lawler to return on the 7/2 edition of RAW is WAR.
- Despite the fact that Booker T is already over as a heel, WWF officials feel that they need to push him as a full-fledged heel. His upcoming feud with Kurt Angle should help this get accomplished.
