Thanks for reading. naidO// ====================================================================== TOP HEADLINE//======================================================== -The Honky Tonk Man has posted the following statement on his website (www.thehonkytonkman.com) relating to him, along with The Bushwhackers, leaving The Wrestling Alliance's UK Invasion Tour early - "To all the UK fans that wanted to see HTM and the Bushwackers, we are sorry for the mix up. The promoter, Scott Conway turned out to be the most dishonest guy we have ever worked for. He did pay us all our wages for the days we worked for him, but he tried to change the "deal" that we had agreed upon. Hence, the three of us decided to pull the plug and head home with 9 days left on the tour. For all of you who missed us, call Brian Dixon (All Star Wrestling) and request us on his next tour. Thanks to you all and I hope to see you soon..." Scott Conway's website is promising to release a statement on this situation within 24 hours. The site currently claims that both HTM and The Bushwhackers were "sent home" from the tour. Please visit for more info www.thehonkytonkman.com ====================================================================== News from the WWF//=================================================== -There is some talk of Scotty 2 Hotty and K-Kwik forming a team sometime in the near future once Scotty's singles push dies down, basically because the two of them have the dance/rap gimmick going on, and they aren't doing much else with them anyway. -Expect X-Pac to take on whoever is the WCW Cruiserweight Champion at Invasion, however the Light-Heavyweight and Cruiserweight Titles won't be on the line, it will just be another WWF vs. WCW match. -Here is this week's detailed DirecTV RAW preview: Hour 1= The task of integrating the WCW into the WWF depends on finding a new WCW Comissioner Hour 2= The integration of the WCW into the WWF turns into a flat out invasion -Here are the scheduled matches for tonight's edition of Smackdown: *WCW Heavyweight Title Match: Diamond Dallas Page vs. Booker T *WWF Tag Title Match: Chris Jericho & Spike Dudley vs. The Dudley's *WCW Cruiserweight Title Match: Hollywood Helms vs. Billy Kidman *WWF IC Title Match: Albert vs. Edge *Billy Gunn and the Big Show vs. The Hardy Boyz *Dean Malenko vs. Scotty Too Hotty *Crash vs. Jacqueline -In a WWF poll, it asks, "Of all the WCW stars that have shown up on WWF programming, which one do you think will have the biggest impact?" The choices are: DDP, Stacy Keibler, Chuck Palumbo, Sean O'Haire, Booker T, Mike Awesome, Torrie Wilson, Buff Bagwell I personally think the saddest part of that is Lance Storm's name isn't there and two woman's names are. -King Edge will guest on this week's Byte This! The 2001 King of the Ring -- Edge -- will be our guest this Friday on Byte This! Give the rising Superstar a call at 1-888-LIVEWWF, or e- mail him your questions to bytethis@wwf.com! -Triple H will be guest starring on tonight's episode of Tough Enough. For those of you who don't know, the show airs Thursday nights on MTV at 10:00 pm EST. I'm sure you'll be hearing about the guest appearance during tonight's broadcast. -In light of the comments made by Linda McMahon at the WWFE's quarterly conference call, there is no SmackDown! spoiler up at WWF.com. Spoilers at the site have been posted for the past 2 - 3 months with consistency but probably won't now due to Mcmahon saying that spoilers have killed SmackDown!'s ratings.

This week he talks about the TV show Tough Enough. You can read it by clicking http://www.stormwrestling.com/commentary/default.asp?aID=1113 Source// ====================================================================== News from the rest of pro-wrestling//================================= -Slam! Wrestling has done a personal piece on Don "Cyrus" Callis that is a pretty good read. It tells us what he's been up to after ECW folded. To read it, click http://www.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingBiosC/cyrus_jul01-can.html -TrekWeb reports that Hulk Hogan may have a recurring role on next year's new Star Trek/UPN series, "Enterprise." UPN would likely crosspromote Hogan's appearance during Smackdown to give the new show a ratings kick. Hogan did have talks with Vince McMahon shortly before WrestleMania earlier this year about coming in to wrestle Triple H. You can read it by clicking http://talk.trekweb.com/articles/2001/07/02/994128590.html -In a recent interview at LVRocks.com with former WCW Nitro Girl Chae An, she talked about Vince Russo ruining WCW and the plight of Eric Bischoff. She also chatted about the the "final" Nitro. She even hinted at a possible nude spread in an adult magazine. Oh have mercy! Source// ====================================================================== Article//============================================================= Official SmackDown! Preview With his mother, Linda, backing him up last Monday night on RAW, WCW owner Shane McMahon made sports-entertainment history when he booked the first-ever WCW match on WWF programming. In that match, Booker T retained his WCW Championship against Buff Bagwell, but not before Stone Cold and Kurt Angle attacked him in the middle of the ring. The duo eventually threw out both Booker T and Buff Bagwell out of the arena and onto the street! Does that signify the end of WCW on WWF programming? Will Federation Superstars allow a WCW match to continue without interfering? How will Shane and Booker T react to the treatment they received on RAW? Find out tonight! Also, Federation Chairman Vince McMahon thought he had a future Superstar in Torrie Wilson -- and he was willing to let her earn it in any way possible! However, it was Torrie that got the last laugh on Mr. McMahon when his wife, Linda, caught him with his pants down! How will Linda react to Vince's seemingly-endless cheating ways? Find out on SmackDown! Also tonight, the Dudley Boyz defend their Tag Team Titles against the team of Spike Dudley and Y2J Chris Jericho! Also, the WCW Championship will be on the line as Booker T defends his title against Diamond Dallas Page! In other matches, Crash takes on 'Tough Enough' trainer Jacqueline, Edge battles Albert for the Intercontinental Championship, the Hardy Boyz take on the team of Billy Gunn and Big Show and Scotty 2 Hotty goes one-on-one against Dean Malenko! It all happens tonight when SmackDown! airs on UPN! Check your local listings for time and channel! Several matches have already been signed for Thursday's show, including a pair of title matches.
