Thanks for reading. naidO// ====================================================================== TOP HEADLINE//======================================================== -WWF.com posted an interview on their site today that they did backstage at Invasion with Triple H. Among other things, H said that he is no longer using crutches, but he is a long way from being able to return in the ring. He said he hopes to be able to ride a stationary bike next week. H also said that he has dropped about 15 to 20 pounds since he was hurt. He said he wrestles at 260 but weighs about 245 right now. He was asked about being at TV the last three weeks (which some have actually reported was a full time return for him). Basically, he was at the last two TVs because he was in the area. He said that he has been told by those supervising his rehab that he can't go to TV any more because it's causing him to miss too much rehab time. So, he said he will stop coming to TV and work more on getting better so he can return to the ring.

Dudley will see his doctor on August 3, and hopes to be cleared to return to action then. -Nick Patrick and Earl Hebner were both very appreciative of how the live crowd reacted to their match. Both men said the crowd was tremendous, and Patrick said it was a blast to work in front of a lot of people because he hasn't worked in front of a huge crowd in many years. For more on the referee's thoughts on Invasion, click http://www.wwf.com/news/headlines/1067605 -The cable preview for RAW looks like this: Hour 1: Who prevailed at Invasion?

"I made a mistake. I learned a huge lesson and I'm a better person because of it. It was actually a blessing in disguise. There were times when I thought I was gonna die, where I was like `What am I going to do with my life?'"

You can hear the show live on that station from 6 to 7:30 p.m. every Thursday night. To check them out on the internet, go to http://www.chairshots.com. Your hosts are Rod Siciliano and Brent Fusaro. -Starts off by saying Hi. He says he just wrestled in Allentown for WXW and did a special TV show. He also wrestled at the MCW (Midwest Championship Wrestling) Tag Tournament. -Guido puts over all the guys in MCW. They had around 500 people in attendance. -He's been tagging again with Tony Malmaluke for the last couple months. He says that Tony is doing real good and he has enjoyed working with him again as of late. -They talk about the dark match at Madison Square Garden w/ the FBI against Doring and Roadkill. Guido says that he hasn't heard anything from the WWF since then. -Big Sal is currently working on a movie and looks to be out of the wrestling business for the time being. -He says he'd like to go back to Japan or work other places internationally in the time being. In case you didn't know, Guido worked a short time in Japan before going to ECW. -Rod mentions a story about the FBI and Roadkill/Doring getting heat for working an ECW-style match at the MSG show. Guido says that's just a rumor and denies it. -Rod asks him about Dreamer and Van Dam coming into the WWF and having to work 5 minute matches instead of their usual 15. He says its an adjustment but he can work 7 minute or 20 minutes because he never gets tired. He prefers working 10 or 11 minute matches himself. -He puts over Spike Dudley. He says he is really entertaining and says he couldn't be doing any better. -Brent wants to know where his FBI t-shirt is since Brent himself is a "full blooded Italian" but Guido breaks the sad news to him that they are now extinct since ECW was the group who made them. (Sorry Brent, but your not as full blooded Italian as Tracey Smothers and Tommy Rich!) -He plugs his website, http://littleguido.com. He says its brand new and his webby has made it look great. -They go back to talking about Japan and Guido says he has talked to a few companies over there but he doesn't want to drop any names yet. Nothing is set in stone but he's wanting to go over there and wrestle again. -He mentions Hogan's fed and says that he hopes they can get things going. He says the more companies they have going the better for himself and the other wrestlers. -Gives one last shout out and plugs http://www.littleguido.com and says bye.
