This week, Jericho talks about the Internet, the WWF Canadian tour, the 'Break Down The Walls' video, the Jericho Soccer jersey, and more. To read it, click http://www.chrisjericho.com/commentary.htm -A rumor has come up that Dimension Films is pursuing The Rock to play the lead role in the movie version of Duke Nukem. Rock, who has earned a good reputation from his latest movie The Mummy Returns, has stated that he would like to work in more movies which will have him in a more realistic role. CDMag.com has posted an article on this. It can be read by clicking, http://www.cdmag.com/Home/home.html? article=/articles/031/125/010511-01.html -Some WWF officials feel that Perry Saturn should be fired after his behavior in his match against Mike Bell that aired this weekend on Metal and Jakked. Saturn also didn't appear on Smackdown tapings. -Though Mick Foley's book is soaring up the list of best sellers, he still may have a different role to perform on WWF television. According to latest rumors, Foley maybe asked by the WWF to return to full time in-ring action. Mick Foley, who retired in an angle in a match with HHH early in 2000, did appear on WWF television for some time as the Commissioner. Insiders believe that with not many major faces in the WWF currently, Foley may well have to return as a top face again. -Tajiri, one of the many former ECW wrestlers to make it to the WWF debuted last week on Raw in a dark match. Though he may not have completely impressed the WWF officials, sources believe that he still has a bright future ahead of him in the WWF. He is expected on Raw and Smackdown in the coming weeks. The only hurdle however for him is his inability to speak English. This may have the WWF to think about pairing him with some other established superstars. -Here is the road schedule for the WWF this week: *Monday, May 14th -- Cincinnati, Ohio (RAW) *Tuesday, May 15th -- Louisville, Kentucky (Smackdown! tapings) *Sunday, May 20th -- Sacramento, California (Judgment Day PPV) Source// 1Wrestling, UltimoWrestling ====================================================================== News from WCW//======================================================= -Former WCW wrestler, Mike Modest will compete in Calgary's Stampede promotion this summer in the "Mid Summer's Nightmare" tour. Modest will challenge Bruce Hart, who is the current North American Heavyweight Champion. -There is now almost 0% chance of Bill Goldberg signing with WWFE. According to sources, Vince McMahon is willing to offer Goldberg very less compared to his current AOL Time Warner contract. So, it looks as if Goldberg would sit out and collect almost $7 million from AOL Time Warner. -Though Booker T has expressed strong desire to sign with WWFE, he may well have to give up around $750,000 from his AOL Time Warner contract. Source// 1Wrestling, UltimoWrestling ====================================================================== News from the rest of pro-wrestling//================================= -RFVideo recently did an interview with Rob Van Dam, in which he talks about his future, his meeting with Jim Ross and more. According to an inside source, Rob Van Dam is next to sure of signing with WWFE.

So what if the football wasn't the best...at least it was football. The sheer hypocrisy of NFL fans who routinely complain about high NFL ticket prices, balloon contracts and poor performance can kiss my bottom line. This list is dedicated to: (1) the fans of the XFL who feel jaded, and (2) the fans of the NFL who, like sheep, accept the very things they complain about (ticket prices, high contracts) by NOT supporting the XFL. Hey, you had your chance. Top Ten Reasons Why NFL Fans Refused to Watch the XFL 10. They thought that "He Hate Me" was simply the extent of OJ's vocabulary 9. They thought that Mark Henry was the full- back 8. ESPN thought that "triple H" was Aaron Gibson's helmet size 7. NFL fans thought that the XFL would interfere with hours of preparation for their Timothy McVeigh execution party. Pass the Old El Paso!! 6. They also thought it would interfere with their K-mart "blue-light special" savings. 5. They thought the Big Boss Man was Paul Tagliabue 4. By not buying XFL gear, they could buy MORE gear for the Bengals, Bears, and Browns 3. They thought Kai and Tai were Warren Sapp's favorite seasonings on his Mighty Wings 2. They thought the dime formation was Tommy Maddux's favorite foreign object in the endzone (alla Curt Hennig) 1. I've got two words for ya: "Screw Job!" NOTE TO SELF: Write the fans who thought they were to good to watch the XFL, "Eat your Mighty Wings, smoke your Pipe, and SHUT- UP!!!!!!!!!" Until next time drones, don't drink and drive, unless your with an adult. Thank you.
