- Recently, its become more noticeable that many wrestlers are not happy with the way they are being used. The latest on this situation is that WWE management are very aware of this. However, if there are plans to fix that or not, is unknown.
Needless to say, there are alot of frustrated people backstage and while WWE management may not be addressing the problem to the talent's liking, they are acknowledging that there is a situation and not acting as if nothing is happening.
- Backstage at Raw and SmackDown, WWE showed the employees the videotaped footage from Vince McMahon's impromptu birthday bash, that took place after SummerSlam PPV. The Birthday Bash was taped by camera's but not shown on TV. Many people were saying that the segment was really well done and entertaining, which was impressive because the segment was improvisational and not scripted.
- For those wondering, Raw is shown backstage every week at Smackdown. This allows the talent to see what is happening on the other brand.

- The Rock will play a protagonist named Alec Sects in the movie "Spy Hunter" and will face off with a major villain to create a "Good Guy vs. Bad Guy" kind of movie.
The movie will begin production in early 2004, which obviously would interfere with Rock's previously reported January-February 2004 wrestling return. Rock definitely will be at WrestleMania XX, but he may be only to work televised event shows during his short wrestling stint due to he having to be at the pre-production for "Spy Hunter".
- Kevin Nash will play a henchman in the upcoming movie "The Punisher". His character hasn't been given a name yet, but he is expected to have a small to moderate role in the film. Filming for the movie is going on now in Tampa, Florida.
- Expect Jazz to make her wrestling return this Monday. Whether she is on Raw, Heat, or involved in a dark match is currently unknown.

- The RAW script was completely re-written from what was originally planned. One of the storylines that was changed was one involving Goldberg.
The original plan called for Goldberg to come out and destroy Test in a matter of seconds. Goldberg told the creative team that it made no sense for him to do that and that he needed to sell the beating storyline that he took from the Elimination Chamber.
So a compromise was made that he would still sell the beating a little bit and the Test match was scraped.
I think you have to give the credit to Goldberg on that one as WWE was trying to build up Goldberg as a monster going into his match with HHH at Unforgiven. In this case, Goldberg going to management was a good thing
