The main would have been a rematch of the RAW main event but with HHH on the shelf, Kurt get's bumped up. Word is that this main event, or versions of it will be on the House Show circuit from now until that time. -There is a very interesting article over at NFL Under the Helmet about how our Olympic Hero almost ended up playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and much more. Its a very interesting read and you can check it out by following this link: www.nfluth.com/articles/200291p1.html. -Dean Malenko is telling people that when WCW starts up, he is considering going to work there as an agent. -Chyna was reportedly in a foul mood backstage at Smackdown Tuesday night. Several people told me that she was very upset that super agent Barry Bloom was in the back at the show. Bloom recently sued Chyna, who he used to represent, for money he feels is owed to him due to the way she ended her professional relationship with him and no doubt the lingering animosity came to a head when she found out he was backstage at the show. Bloom, who has worked with many wrestlers, is based in Los Angeles and usually attends shows in the area. -Tazz' official website for over two years, www.Tazmission.com is closing. Tazz has posted a final commentary, thanking the internet fans that have supported him throughout his career.

Chavo Guerrero Jr., who had his contract bought by the WWF when they purchased WCW, was there as well. Source// 1Wrestling ====================================================================== News from the rest of pro-wrestling//================================= -Over the past few weeks, several readers have sent emails and news submissions inferring a Bret Hart return because the domain brethart.com points to WCW.COM. To make a long story short, when WCW decided to make a website for Hart, they purchased the domain brethart.com. WWF now owns WCW, so they own the domain. Other sites (such as jackhammer.net, Goldberg's site) also point to WCW.COM. For those of you looking for Bret's official website, it's brethart.net. -www.SteveCorino.com has been updated with the latest edition of IT'S GOOD TO BE KING where the NWA champion looks at a special charity event he was involved with this past week, Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling and more. -www.NovaECW.com has been updated with a lengthy commentary by the inNOVAtor looking at his tour with FMW in Japan, the never-ending trip it took just to get there, and more. -www.ECWAnderson.com, the internet home of the Enforcer, has been updated with his latest commentary.

The site, which is being built by Stampede Wrestling's Blake Norton and graphic designer Dayna Everett, is currently in the later stages of development. The project is being created as an opportunity for fans, friends and family to celebrate one of the most remarkable people this industry has ever seen. Along with photos of Owen's life, both at home and in the spotlight, the website will house original memories and moments from Owen's mother and father, brothers and sisters, as well as contributions from his co-workers and fans all over the world. The Hart Family respectfully invites the wrestling media to help pass along this information to the fans and friends of Owen Hart. We would like to hear from any of his co-workers and friends that would like to contribute their thoughts to be put along side those of the family's. The site staff can be contacted at the e-mail address Owen@StampedeWrestling.com We also invite fans to send in tapes of their favorite Owen Hart matches and moments, photos and otherwise, which will also be featured on the site. We look forward to hearing from fans with such contributions via e-mail. An Owen Hart message board has been launched on StampedeWrestling.com. Until the official site launches next week, it gives fans the opportunity to contribute their thoughts and memories, many of which will be printed on the final site. The World Wrestling Federation has agreed to contribute to the upcoming site. Owen spent most of his career with Vince McMahon's WWF, where he became one of the top names in the industry. His achievements include recognition as King of the Ring tournament winner and two reigns as Intercontinental Champion. The Owen Hart Online Memorial is scheduled to launch as soon as all main contributions have been processed, which should be sometime next week. A second release, with further information, will be made available at that time. More information can be found by looking around the Stampede Wrestling Site http://www.stampedewrestling.com/. ====================================================================== Remember...=========================================================== -Remember that if you've missed any TV Shows, PPV's or more?
