The Rock squeeked in at No. 100, one ahead of "Tomb Raider" star Angelina Jolie. They note that Rock's level of powerdom is "Rising." In the print version, EW states that Rock's brief cameo in The Mummy Returns was a major reason why it was the blockbuster it was. His drawback they say is "the all-too-real physical risks of his day job leave him vulnerable to catastrophic injury."

You can read that article by clicking http://www.wcw.com/news/102401/page01.html -Food for thought: With his US Title win on Monday's Raw, Angle needs only to win the WCW Tag Team Titles to have won almost every belt/title in existence except for the defunct WCW TV and Hardcore titles. If you want to get more technical, he's also won the King of the Ring honor and Olympic Gold medals as well. Getting even more silly, if he wins the Royal Rumble next year, he'd have won every honour a pro-wrestler can achieve. That is unless they bring back ECW's titles.

He still does not have feeling in his body from the neck down but he has regained consciousness and is currently on medication for the pain which doctors say is a good thing. If he does feel pain, that means his brain is registering feeling in his lower body. Doctors are still awaiting test results to see the extent of the damage to Hayabusa's spine.

Preview This past Monday could have been the worst day in the long history of WCW and ECW. The World Wrestling Federation -- led by Vince and Linda McMahon -- simply dominated their competition, nabbing four titles from the Alliance. This Thursday on UPN's SmackDown!, the Alliance will no doubt be out for revenge. What will they do? Who will they target? What will Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley have to say about Monday's events? And where the hell is Stone Cold Steve Austin? Perhaps these questions will be answered this Thursday on UPN! The WCW Tag Team Championship will be on the line this Thursday, when the Hardy Boyz defend against the Dudley Boyz! The Dudleys are already former WWF and ECW Tag Team Champions -- if they win this Thursday, they will become the first team ever to hold tag titles in all three organizations! Can Bubba Ray and D-Von do it? Tune in this Thursday to find out! Fans of WWF Tough Enough know that Al Snow and Tazz had very different styles of training their students. This Thursday, those two men will go one-on-one on SmackDown!, and fans can judge for themselves! Also this Thursday, Trish Stratus goes one-on-one with Mighty Molly! The Rock, Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam will all be in the house this Thursday on UPN -- it's SmackDown! Match listing: *An Alliance battle royal takes place. *Trish Stratus vs. Might Molly. *Christian vs. Kurt Angle vs. Christian. *Chris Jericho vs. the winner of The Alliance battle royal in a WCW Title defense. *Al Snow vs. Tazz. *The Hardy Boys vs. The Dudley Boys in a WCW Tag Team Titles defense. *Rob Van Dam vs. The Rock in a WWF Hardcore Title defense. ===================================================================== Article//============================================================ Stu Hart bio due in March By GREG OLIVER -- SLAM! Wrestling Following in the footsteps of his son Bret 'The Hitman' Hart and his daughter Diana Hart-Smith, Hart family patriarch Stu Hart is having his story told in a book. "Stu Hart: Lord of the Ring" is the name of a trade paperback coming out from ECW Press in early March 2002. The authorized biography is being written by Hart family friend and Calgary lawyer Marsha Erb. "Stu Hart: Lord of the Ring, like Mick 'Mankind' Foley's two New York Times #1 Bestsellers, is a no-holds-barred, insider's look at the highs and lows, the heroes and villains, the triumphs and tragedies of the world of professional wrestling," promises the ECW catalogue. "From the horrific accidental death of his son Owen during a WWF event in Kansas City, to the resulting multi-million dollar lawsuit settled out of court by Vince McMahon, to the rise of his son Bret to the pinnacle of sports entertainment and his subsequent betrayal, in Montreal, by the one and the same owner of the WWF, and back into the glory days of wrestling's colourful past with likes of Andre The Giant, Abdullah the Butcher, and a wrestling bear, Hart family friend Marsha Erb helps Stu weave a touching, thrilling, and at times almost unbelievable account of one of wrestling's most remarkable lives." Erb was the Ellie Neidhart's lawyer in her divorce from Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart. She is known in Calgary for her work as lawyer for the Tsuu T'ina First Nation, and helped establish Canada's first aboriginal court in 1999. Erb is a prominent Liberal as well, and lost a federal Liberal nomination in Calgary West in 1997. This is her first book. Stu Hart has been involved in pro wrestling since the 1940s and his extended family is known world-wide. In 2000, Bret Hart teamed with Toronto Sun writer Perry Lefko to create the picture-book "Bret 'Hitman' Hart: The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be." (Stoddart Publishing) "Under The Mat: Inside Wrestling's Greatest Family" is Diana Hart's book, written with Kirstie McLellan. It was just released by Fenn Publishing. "Stu Hart: Lord of the Ring" promises to also have over 30 pages of photos. ===================================================================== Remember...========================================================== -Remember that if you've missed any TV Shows, PPV's or more?
