Already, I'm seeing the mid-card bandying together to keep back the WCW people. It's weird that the WWF is supposed to be the heel in the angle yet a bunch of faces are getting together, Add to that, the two top heels in teh company are as well so that throws everything out of wack. Maybe it's because everything is new right now and I'm not giving it a chance? I hope so. but as I saw Vince laying there after Booker's pinarooney and saw both heel and face characters come to his rescue, I had a bad feeling in my stomach. LOVE THE NEWSLETTER?

Thanks for reading. naidO// ====================================================================== TOP HEADLINE//======================================================== -John Leyfield (Bradshaw) was on CNBC this morning discussing stocks. He discussed his top picks, which included WWFE stocks, and Pfizer, "since I know a lot about surgery and pain pills". He also talked about his book which he says is entirely written by himself and due out early next year. It was kind of odd to see Bradshaw in a business suit with slicked back hair and a ponytail. Some of the hosts were sucking up to him, but they all agreed that he explained things much more clearly than other analysts. As one host put it, "... he's had experience explaining this to other wrestlers". All in all, it was a good segment, and Bradshaw came across as being one of the most knowledegable guys on the show.

Here are some highlights from an interview I conducted with Dawn Marie. You can find the entire interview in the Backstage area of RFVideo.com. For Dawn Marie fans RFVideo.com has two tapes featuring a lot of Dawn and the other women of ECW with Extreme Three Way: Bytch, Sytch & Francine as well as The Extreme Women Of ECW. -Dawn says she is training to be a wrestler. -Says being a woman in wrestling is a disadvantage because there aren't that many spots for women. -She does not think plastic surgery is needed to be successful if you are a woman in the wrestling industry. She points to Stacy Kiebler and Jazz as examples of women who didn't need plastic surgery. She says plastic surgery didn't help her get hired in ECW because she was already hired. -Feels that getting plastic surgery is not sending the wrong message to younger girls. -Put over her two-year feud with Francine saying the two worked well together. -Dawn is spending her time now working on being a wrestler and has plans to return to school to finish her degree in the fall. -Has not talked to any major promotions.

When WCW folded its tent, he thought his dream who never come thru. Then Prince Shane, of the Clan McMahon. bought WCW and Doophus, who was fully grown by now, saw a chance to realize his life long ambition. Knowing that The Taker was famous for making people famous, he hatched a plan. He became Dirtbag The Stalker; taking intimate pictures of the Taker's wife Sara, as well as sneaking into The Taker Ranchero and sniffing her undies. Last night at King of the Ring (KOR), Dirtbag got his wish. The Taker made him famous. In an ass kicking worse than any seen on a Friday night at The Boot Hill Saloon in Daytona Beach during Bike Week, The Taker kicked his sorry ass up one side of the arena and down the other. When last seen, Dirtbag was crawling back to his hole in the ground. Sure he got a few shots in; the most damaging one being a kick to The Takers Little Guys (you expected different from our boy)? The entire encounter was filmed by Sara, blow by blow by blow, so she can show the tape to the Little Takers when they are born. In true Sports Entertainment fashion, we have not seen the last of Dirtbag. He may show up tonight on RAW. I suspect The Taker wouldn't mind an instant replay is he does. What else transpired at KOR you ask. Our American Olympic Zero didn't repeat as King of the Ring, losing to Edge in the finals, but he proved once and for all to any doubters that he is a player. Edge defeated Zero, with the assistance of Prince Shane, to become the 2001 King. With few exceptions, the winner has gone on to bigger and better things. I believe that Edge will do just that. Zero actually had the match won until The Prince showed up, but that shouldn't detract from Edge's victory. Zero got to the finals by Suplexing Christian into the next county, while Edge proved The Spear is mightier than The Gore as he dehorned Rhyno. Kudos to both Zero and The Prince for their Street Fight. Both gave and took major hits. Zero played handball against glass partitions with Shane, eventually putting him thru two different panes, winning the match 6-0, 6-0. In every match Shane is in, he shows us a little bit more. If he can energize WCW to that level they are in for a great ride. Tired of his big brothers Bubba Ray and DeVon treating him like Cinderella's sisters treated her, Little Spike Dudley challenged them to a Tag Team Title Match, with a partner to be named later. If you had to pick a partner, who would you pick? Spike thought just as you and I would and picked Kane. It didn't help. Kane kicked ass and took names, however, Bubba Ray and DeVon made Big Daddy Dudley proud of them as they isolated Spike from Kane and 3-D'd him into next Thursday. When Molly kisses him and wakes Spike up, the first question he'll ask is "Did you get the number of the 747 that hit me?" That isn't what Molly is hoping he'll ask. Get your minds out of the road. X-Puke upset 96.7% of wrestling fans around the world being on a PPV with a chance to with a Title, especially against a man every 16 year girl dreams of. He's lucky Lita didn't kick his sorry confectionary rectum. X-punk says that X-Factor needs gold before they can be recognized. Most fans think X-Factor needs to get rid of X-Pus to be recognized. In ECW Justin Credible proved he can be a major player and Alfred proved he can go when he took Kane to the limit. Note to Justin and Alfred: Dump X-Everything and either go it alone or start your own group. Finally we come to the Main Event, with Stone Cold Steve Austin (SCSA) (C) putting the WWF Title on the line in a Triple Threat Match against Canadian Chris Nos. 1 and 2. As the evening started, Paul E. and Good Old JR teased that there was a rumor circulating that if the Title went north, the winner was taking it and defecting to WCW. They repeated it all night long. That had to get people thinking that one of them was going to win. Then again it might have gotten you thinking that it was all a crock and SCSA was going to keep it and Emperor Vince (last week on SmackDown, The Emperor told SCSA they were thru if he lost the Title). It's so hard to see people breaking up. Maybe that's because he treats Vince better than Debra. One has to wonder who keeps SCSA's feet warm at night; Vince or Debra. I see it as a No Brainer. It started as you might expect, with The Canadians kicking SCSA all over the place. Eventually they remembered that only one could win and it became a Triple Treat Match ... for the most part. At one point Chris No. 1 applied The Walls of Jericho and Chris No. 2 The Crippler Cross-Face. SCSA tapped out and each Chris thought they won. The Referee reminded them that only one could win and the match continued. Not to say I told you so, but in my June 19, 2001, Article, I told you so. After chairshots, more submission holds, and an appearance by Booker T, who Ax Kicked SCSA thru the Spanish Announcers Table and into the next Zip Code, SCSA retained the Title. He was the first of the three to wake up as they were all dreaming about being the Champion after beating the snot out of each other. He covered a Chris and took the gold home to show Debra. He allows her to look at it three times a week for ten minutes ... look, not touch. It was a horrible ending to a great match. In fact, it was a horrible ending to a great night. If this was ECW, the crowd might have chanted "You F'd Up" at the writers. ====================================================================== Remember...=========================================================== -Remember that if you've missed any TV Shows, PPV's or more?
