It came down to Nash and Hall demanding fewer dates per month than everyone else in the WWF including Steve Austin, Rock, Triple H, and Undertaker. The WWF stood ground on needing them for more than just TVs, PPVs, and occasional house shows. They decided not to invest in wrestlers who weren't willing to work a full time schedule. Negotiations could resume if Hall and Nash reconsider their schedule demands in coming months, or if the WWF experiences decreases in business next year and decides it needs to bend in exchange for the potential boost Hall and Nash might provide TV ratings and PPV buys. According to WWF officials, Scott Steiner is now their no. 1 free agent target since Goldberg has shown no interest in returning to wrestling. Steiner has not sought out WWF negotiations recently since he wants to get his health in order first before committing to any kind of a full time schedule. There is no urgency to signing Steiner, but rather a feeling that sometime next year he will be the next "big free agent signing."

After a long absence from this fine newsletter, I am back. Did you miss me? Probably not, but I guess I understand. My computer crashed a while ago, not to mention that I'm in the thick of exams right now, but enough of personal problems, let's get on to my views of the world of pro-wrestling. To be honest, the WWF has been dirtier than ass lately(and literally). This ass kissing angle does not exactly make me very interested in the new direction of the company. Apparently they are doing this because they want to make the product more edgy, well I don' think this poor attempt at homosexual(not that there's anything wrong with that) amateur porn is the way. When I first saw the Regal/McMahon ass kissing scene, I was shocked that such a thing happened, and no matter what Regal said in interviews, God only knows he wished for some other way to get TV time while that whole thing was going on. Entertaining or not, it made me as a fan feel ridiculous. I remember non-wrestling fans saying "You watch guys kissing other people's asses??", what the hell am I suppose to say to that? How do I rectify it? This only re- enforces the weak theory that wrestlers are repressed homosexuals (not that there's anything wrong with that) Although the Regal/McMahon scene was degrading, a lot of people found it entertaining, and it was presented an a comedic way. The Jim Ross/McMahon scene on the other hand, was absolutely disgusting! I felt really weird watching that, I felt as if I was watching a security video of a gang rape! The fact that I saw the Undertaker shove Jim Ross' face in Vince McMahon's ass while Vince danced around, for some reason(maybe I'm nuts), disturbed me! It felt like I had taken a hallucinogen and was seeing things. Especially the way the show ended. All I remember was Jim Ross lying in the middle of the ring, Taker standing over him and Vince dancing around the ring slapping his bare ass with a cowboy hat while Limp Bizkit's Rollin' blared throughout the arena to udder shock of the crowd. My reaction to all this? First off it was "WHAT THE F**K!?". Then I broke out laughing because I couldn't believe what the hell I was seeing, and then I kind of paranoid and looked over my shoulder because I didn't want to be caught watching it. So there we have it goddamnit, just when we thought the WWF couldn't cross the line anymore, they piss on it! Now I am in full support of pushing the envelope, but I don't really know anyone who is actually enjoying this. Fans will remember Regal like they remember the Red Rooster, this will haunt him, no matter what he does in the future, he will be known as the man who kissed a bare ass in the middle of the ring.
