That was a 19% increase for the show since its season premiere. -Also according to Neilsen's, SmackDown! finished in 88th place with its 3.6 rating last week. -A Byte This!

To read it, click http://www.wwf.com/news/headlines/1101664 -Dave Meltzer reports that former RollerJam star Brian Gamble, who worked at Monday's Jakked/Metal taping, received a bloodied nose from Perry Saturn after refusing to sell during most of the match. This hasn't been the first time Saturn has worked stiff against an opponent after they made a mistake, as a similar incident occured earlier in the year against indy worker Mike Bell. -Meltzer also notes that the plan for Triple H at this stage is to have him return on RAW at 1/7, and to announce that he will be wrestling at the Royal Rumble. He won't be wrestling on TV before the PPV, because the WWF wants to build the PPV around his return to the ring, which will hopefully draw a better buyrate. -According to Meltzer, as of last week the plan was still to split the WWF into two on 1/7. Many believed that Vince McMahon was going to change his mind, but as of last week, was still adament about splitting into two at the MSG RAW. -Numerous reports indicate that the Green Frog was paid aprroximately twelve thousand dollars for the brawl that happened at their Supermarket for last week's smackdown. -Jim Varsallone of the Miami Herald recently interviewed Ric Flair. To read the transcript, click http://www.miami.com/herald/content/sports/wrestling/digdocs/051900.h tm -The Miami Herald reports that WWF's RAW tapings to be held at the Miami Arena tomorrow is already a sell out. The event has filled nearly 13,000 seats and grossed more than $300,000, a WWF record in Miami.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to The Russ Haas Memorial Fund c/o Bank of America, 777 N. Eldridge Pkwy., Houston, TX 77079 Attn: Jeannie Gray -The WWA are in talks with Eddie Guerrero to see if they can get him on their April tour of Australia and New Zealand. -WWA are also interested to talk to Kevin Nash, since his AOL-Time Warner contract will have expired by that point and it doesn't look like he will be going to the WWF straight away, if at all.
