Thanks for reading. naidO// ====================================================================== TOP HEADLINE//======================================================== -Dave Scherer reports that next month's Invasion PPV could involve a multi-man match between the top (signed) WCW guys against a team of WWF guys. Scherer further notes that choosing the men for the WWF team is critical in the invasion angle. If WCW goes against men liek X- Factor then they naturally will not go over and kill the angle before it starts. WCW men must go up against men in Austin's league for it to have life. Source// 1Wreslting ====================================================================== News from the WWF//=================================================== -Off air raw happening posted by Dave Meltzer: *Dark matches: -Jim Steele d. Buck Quartermain -Vito DeNucci d. Chris Nelson *Metal/Jakked matches: -Kaientai d. Scott Andrews & Christopher Daniels -Haku d. Billy Fives -Test d. Mike Sullivan -Crash Holly d. Jerry Lynn *After RAW, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho posed with Austin's belt and left. Austin got up and made Lillian Garcia announce him as WWF champion and started to drink beer, but threw the cans down; eliciting a chorus of boos from the crowd. *Backstage at RAW last night were Chris Kanyon, Shawn Stasiak, Bill Kidman, Torrie Wilson, Mike Awesome (who had a professional talk with Paul Heyman. Awesome jumped ship to WCW while still being the ECW champion). As reported earlier, Arn Anderson, Fit Finlay & Ricky Santana were backstage w/ the already signed Johnny Ace. -After RAW is WAR, here is the final four that will take place at the King of the Ring pay per view Sunday. The rest of the card is here as well. KOTR *Kurt Angle v. Christian *Edge v. Rhyno *Steve Austin v. Chris Jericho v. Chris Benoit *Shane McMahon v. Kurt Angle -To check out Y2J's new entrance video and semi-new music can be seen exclusively at http://www.WWFY2J.com -Due to Tazz being in New York to host the 'Tough Enough' premiere at the restaurant, Paul Heyman will be filling in for him at the SmackDown! taping. -Click for a feature article at SLAM! Wrestling on Edge & Christian. In it, they mock rumors about their split-up: http://www.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingEdge/e_and_c_18jun01-can.html -The donuts over at TSN last night censored Molly getting the stunner from Austin during the RAW opening segment, yet showed the replay of it before the main event not 1h 48 minutes later. Must've went to get some coffee. -Mick Foley was on Regis & Kelly yesterday morning and what you saw on RAW last night was pretty much the interview. For those that missed it, they talked about amusement parks, his retirement and book (of course). They weird thing about the interview was that they cut Mick off when he started another topic. Maybe they know he likes to ramble.

However, that could aslways change. The thought process of DDP being the stalker was not to get him over as a heel per se, but to use it as a way to make him a true main eventer for the new WCW (as he said in his promo on Raw last night). WCW is still being booked as the babyface of the invasion angle.

Source// Dave Meltzer ====================================================================== Comment//============================================================= ROUNDING THE SQUARED CIRCLE "DIRTBAG'S DASTARDLY DEBUT" OR "THE TAKER CORDIALLY INVITES YOU TO A SCUMBAG'S FUNERAL" BY SAMJERRY@AOL.COM Visit My Home Page At: "http://members.aol.com/samjerry The Stalker's identity was revealed last night on RAW. Unlike how Emperor McMahon blew the surprise of who The Higher Power was (himself), he nailed this one right on the head. In an art imitates life move, Dirtbag Doophus Page (DDP) was revealed to be the slimeball stalking Sara, The Taker's foxy young wife. It has been pretty common knowledge that the voice we have been hearing playing The Stalker was The Emperor's and the signing of Douchebag wasn't final. I suspect the WWF was throwing everyone off. I think DDP was signed some time ago and The Stalker angle created for him. Who better to play such a vile, disgusting person than DDP? DDP following Stacy Kiebler; talk about a 180 degree difference. Having Satan follow an angel. Dirtbag revealed himself on RAW and immediately went into a tirade ripping on The Taker and how he planned to use him to shoot immediately to the top. The Taker may make DDP famous all right; famous as someone who debuted and was buried the same night. I can't think of anyone (or anything) worse to be pissed at you than The Dead Man. There's an old saying "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it." In Dirtbag's case, it is a death wish, and he is going to get it. There is also a rumor that Dirtbag may be used on WCW's Booking Team. If true, it brings McMahon's wisdom into question. I have never run across anyone who brings an immediate hate or love reaction than Dirtbag, and most are in the hate category. If memory serves me correctly, DDP's "talent" as a Booker was utilized by Good Old Eric (GOE), and it led to him winning the WCW Championship shortly thereafter. He had the reputation of being GOE's buddy and used that relationship to his advantage. While they need star power to jump start the New WCW, they have to guard against that type of thing. It hurt WCW and it could hurt the New WCW. Bang! Other than that, RAW was a winner. The Final Four for King Of The Ring (KOTR) was established. Last years winner, The American Olympic Zero, Rhyno, Edge and Christian. Unless the WWF wants to set a precedent and have Zero repeat (that in addition to his Street Fight v. Prince Shane, Dare Devil In Waiting), we can expect one of the young lions to win and take a major step up. Rhyno is new, so he is long shot. Having The Canadian Clueless Brothers meet in Finals is a natural. It breaks up their tag team and gives one a major push to Main Event status. The loser doesn't move as fast, but getting that far wont hurt. Who has the Edge? The Main Event gave us a hint of what might happen at KOTR when Stone Cold Steve Austin (SCSA) (C) put the WWF Title on the line in a Triple Threat Match v. Canadian Chris No. 1 and No. 2. The match ended with SCSA taping out as he was trapped in both The Crippler Cross Face and Walls of Jericho. If this happens at KOTR, who is the Champion? Is it No. 1 or No. 2 ... or does our beloved Commissar, The Ass With A Mouth and/or Emperor Vince declare that it is impossible to determine who won and therefore SCSA keeps the Title or possibly declare the Title vacant. We also saw the long overdue beginning of The Dudley Boyz heel turn. Watching Bubba Ray and DeVon playing nice in the sandbox just doesn't seem right. They should be kicking sand (and anything else they can their hands on) into the face of everyone around. Big Daddy Dudley will be proud; finally his two oldest boyz are going to be tearing the place up, and beating the crap out of their outcast half brother Little Spike Dudley every chance they get. Now if only Big Dick Dudley, Sign Guy Dudley and Snot and Snerd Dudley get the call. ====================================================================== Comment//============================================================= Leno's Top Ten Hi my Leno-maniacs!! Its that time of the year again, and I'm really anticipating this year's King of the Ring. I thought I would change pace a little bit. Here are my Top Ten Reasons to Watch King of the Ring next week. However, in order to look at it, please go to: http://members.aol.com:/jasonemmettmyers I worked hard on this, so please don't ignore it. Please look at it. It does take a solid 5 minutes to load up, because it is the very first web page I've ever done. I just wanted to express myself a little differently this week. It is best to look at it in Internet Explorer, if you don't have AOL. Thank you for your patience, and PLEASE at least TRY it out, and tell me how you like it.
