- Apparently Earl Fish is under the microscope. He barely escaped breaching contract this past week and has one week to redeem himself or we could see him on the way out.

- Look for a new singles title as well as the rumored return of the tag team titles in the next few weeks.

- Former champions are on their way back to the nWEFF with rumored new looks and gimmicks.

- A former BDWF head turner has been in talks with the nWEFF, look for him to probably debut in the coming weeks.

- A two huge names were in talks with the nWEFF this week about possible returns for limited programs. The two names are absolutely huge, I can not stress that enough, the hugeness.

- Rumor has it that The Boss did less than he's done in recent memory to put together this ppv and it's success can largely be laid upon those who chipped in some help. If you get a chance, thank Finley, XP, DPB, Steel, Lewis, and Dustin for all chipping in this week.

- Look for more fed updates in the coming weeks.

4-20-02 Hotline Report
- It has been officially announced that Shit Happens 4, Live from the American-West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona will take place on Tuesday, May 14th. No matches have been announced yet but there are some obvious matchups forming so it�s plausible we could see some officially announced matchups as soon as this week�s Gutcheck.

- The Shadow had an interesting attitude turn briefly on Gutcheck as he applied what appeared to be a very painful new submission hold. He�s calling it Darkest Night and it�s a dragon sleeper from a camel clutch position. Seryph felt the wrath but was later apologized to by The Shadow who seemed genuinely regretful of his outburst. For those watching closely, he also debuted his new inverted Death Valley Driver which apparently has become the new Nightfall. For those who have been watching closely for a while, the Shadow has been focusing his arsenal on opponents neck�s. I understand some people in the fed are concerned that he may starting hurting wrestler�s seriously as he becomes more proficient with these newly learned moves. There�s obviously not much that can be done as the Shadow isn�t some one you tell what to do.

- In a related note, it appears as if Seryph has gone and turned face on us, or at least, it appears as if him and the RTC/Hell�s Children have parted ways, but not by his doing. Thorne, a very controversial man in the federation at this point, left Seryph �out to dry� during their tag match against Ramsey and Shadow this week. During the Shadow�s attempt at an apology on Gutcheck, Seryph seemed to be preoccupied with other thoughts and one would assume it was Thorne if not the entire group. Seryph isn�t booked this week as I understand he�s nursing sore ribs but I presume this angle to continue on Gutcheck.

- I was at the nWEFF offices earlier today and a possibly major impact player looks to be on his way back to the federation. I understand a verbal agreement has been reached with this legendary superstar and a final contract is expected to be signed in the next 2 days. The superstar�s record is sketchy, admittedly, but he apparently has expectations to be very dedicated this time around. Of course, we have seen that from guys in the past, Attitude comes to mind as of late. However, if this man can get back to his old self he will make ripples in the seemingly well oiled nWEFF machine.

- The Boss, who has been going through a very busy time as of late has recently fallen under some good fortune and had his schedule greatly reduced and gotten new offices. It is felt that this new arrangement will benefit the fed greatly and we should start seeing this shortly. The merchandise section is close to complete and the roster revamping will begin in the next few days. Also look for overall better produced shows and promos.

- Rumor has it that talks with Erik Kutter have not been going well. It was thought that the addition of the dedicated Thorne would wow Kutter into a full time contract but apparently Kutter is very happy in his other fed and actually went so far as to show buy time during an nWEFF broadcast to air a promo of his from this independent federation. The nWEFF as a whole, fans, staff and crew included, would like to see Erik Kutter competing with an nWEFF jersey full time but it appears that that may not be a possibility at this point. The feeling is that maybe he can continue to be around for storyline purposes or one match type of deals like we saw with Ramsey at Return 2 Glory. Here�s to hoping Kutter can change his mind and join us full time.

- The Candidate isn�t booked this week. He had some personal engagements to attend to, including a martial arts tournament. No word on whether he�ll be on t.v this week or how it might effect his standing as nWEFF Internet Champion. We�ll keep you posted as this story continues to unfold.

- The once fairly serious talks of a new belt have been laid to rest for the time being. What was thought to be semi decent pick ups in the Juicy Bear Hour of Pathetic ended up being a bust. For the record, anyone who didn�t know this or who cares, Benjamin Smith was the former Kevin Starr who has proven now for about the umpteenth time that he is an absolute joke who, if you�ve ever talked to him, completely blows out of proportion his place in nWEFF history. He finally burned a bridge here in the nWEFF and unless he sneaks under the radar, will never be an employee of the nWEFF again.

- Rumor has it to expect a pretty big show on Tuesday. Not many matches but big ones that there are. I expect a big show to kick off the buildup to SH4. 4-10-02 The Day After Hotline Report
- Well, Return 2 Glory is in the books and from most accounts, it was a success. Critics and fans are giving the show postive reviews and it seems that the nWEFF is going strong for the time being.

- Word on Attitude is he's out indefinitely. Angle was done last night to explain the absence. It's just too bad that he couldn't dedicate himself to the cause becuase when he's on, he's good.

- Justin Taylor, as of this point, is done with the nWEFF. The door is open for him to come back in but he'd have to prove himself first.

- The Joe Burke/Benjamin Smith situation at this point is unresolved. The feeling last night was that they were made to look good and that with the addition of Jack Burke to their angle, there should be reason enough for them to stay and try and be a part of the fed. However, if they feel they cannot function within the system, they will be eliminated. The ball is in their court.

- All of the nWEFF merchandise sold out at the United Center last night and the merchandise was all old. The fed had hesistated on getting a merchandising deal with the future of the company in jeopardy but with the recent upswing, it looks like we could see some merchandise from the fed soon.

- Some are calling the Down Match last night one of the best hardcore matches in nWEFF history and that's saying something. The match was full of original spots and both men took an extreme beating. Both men sustained minimal injuries but SLR did the stretcher job last night simply to put over the match. SLR should be back on t.v. shortly even though he isn't booked next week. Expect him to put out some promos this week.

- The return of Thorne was a surprise to most but it still remains to be seen whether or not Thorne will be on as a full time competitor or as simply an on air character. He's booked to wrestle this week so that could be the deciding factor. Thorne was the mystery man who was posting a few weeks back.

- Finley James had a meeting at the nWEFF offices before the PPV to discuss his future with the company. The feeling coming out of the meeting was that Finley is a talented individual that simply needs to figure out how to work in the nWEFF system. He assured execs that he still wanted to be a part of the company and has said he plans on working hard to prove that. How he does this week in his match against the Candidate will say a lot.

- JT Steel winning the nWEFF title last night is being considered an upset by most and a surprise for pretty much everyone. There will no doubt be detractors and doubters as to whether or not Steel should be in this position but the feeling in the office is that he's been given the ball now and he must run with it.

- On a related note, the return of Lee Lewis and the subsequent attack on Steel leads many to believe that the two will be facing each other down the line, most likely at the next PPV. Lewis has been working with numerous outside sources to put together what will be a memorable feud between the two men who have a very rich history together.

- The Shadow has been working on adding new moves to his arsenal. People forget because of his early sucess that The Shadow is new to the business and actually hasn't seen that much ring time.

- No word on the date of the next nWEFF PPV but it will be entitled Shit Happens 4 and will take place live from the American West Arena in Phoenix, AZ.

4-8-02 Eve of the PPV Hotline Report
- the nWEFF returns to Pay Per View tomorrow as Return 2 Glory will eminate live from the United Center in Chicago. The nWEFF has an excellent track record when it comes to PPV and the higher ups are looking at this PPV as a very important one for many reasons. The first being that if the nWEFF can put out a PPV like they are known for doing, they will, at least for the time being, keep the fed alive. The momentum and buzz surrounding a blockbuster PPV like the nWEFF is known for having could be a big boost for the fed, which has seen it's better days.When the fed started however many weeks back, though the roster was small, it looked to be packed with names like Slayer, SLR, Sinister, Attitude, Xero and Finley James all established names and headliners. But with the injury to Slayer,and the inconsistencies of Attitude and Finley James, the fed began to suffer.In the past week however, since announcing it's return to PPV, the nWEFF has rebounded and things appear to be on an upswing.An influx of new talent has arrived, all seemingly willing to put in the effort it takes to make both their characters and the fed thrive.On the eve of Return 2 Glory, we'll disect the line up, talk about each match up and decide if in fact the nWEFF is ready to return to glory.

- "Juicy" Joe Burke/"the Bear" Benjamin Smith v. Attitude/Finley James: It's no secret that Tude and James are in the proverbial 'dog house,' and both have made statements regarding their future in the fed. Burke and Smith did a promo together and happen to be friends outside of the fed which shows why they have such great chemistry. I don't think anyone expects Tude and James to win this match and I expect to see them phased out of the scene after tomorrow night. Whether or not either man will return is up in the air. As for the futures of Burke and Smith, things look bright. Given the time to develop their characters, both men look to be a major part of the nWEFF in the future and if both men stay hungry and work hard, there's no reason to believe they won't be successful.

- nWEFF Internet Title Match - DPB v. Justin Taylor v. The Candidate (C): There have apparently been some complications with Taylor's contract and his status with the fed at this point is up in the air. It's believed he'll be at the show tomorrow and will wrestle but will probably be a non factor as far as the match goes. The real story coming out of this one is the constant back and forth between DPB and the champion, the Candidate. DPB, new to both the nWEFF and efeds in general, has shown lots of improvement since coming aboard and has worlds of potential. I think it's safe to say that DPB is perhaps the most promising of the recent talent acquisitions showing an extreme desire to get better and work hard. I expect, win or lose, DPB is in line for a huge push. Russ Mar aka The Candidate has once again changed the rules in efeds. The Candidate has taken on a life of his own and his promos (some refreshingly unconventional) have been excellent. He's taken the nWEFF Internet Title and made it a coveted title once again. It is hard to make predictions for this match as both DPB and TC have lit up the board this week. The match can go either way but no matter what, both men are poised to be come cornerstones in the rebuilding process of the nWEFF.

- RPG/Dark Angel v. Seryph/Alexandra: Well, apparently once you get a few of the Hell's Children, you get a lot of the Hell's Children. RPG and Dark Angel have been in contract negotiations with the fed for weeks and finally inked a deal last Tuesday morning and were flown in to Gutcheck to appear and be booked for the PPV. They have proven to be solid additions to the roster, with RPG's character being very original and Dark Angel proving to be a formidable female. On the other side of the ring, we've got Seryph and Alexandra, members of Xero's RTC. Their promos lately have done wonders as far as fleshing them out as characters and not just being someone for Xero to converse with. Alexandra will play the perfect role of 'the girl who doesn't wrestle' for this match and it should be entertaining to see her against Dark Angel, a proven wrestler against men. I expect your typical mixed tag affair here but with that sadistic Hell's Children twist. There are rumors of SLR and Dark Angel being romantically involved but nothing has come of that as of yet. I'm also hearing that RPG has really impressed the people in charge and may be in line for a big singles push.

- Scott Ramsey v. Erik Kutter: The rookie versus the seasoned veteran and evil head of the company. Ramsey has a buzz around him like few people in nWEFF history. He's poised to become a huge superstar in the nWEFF. Kutter on the other hand is signed to a one match deal at this point, so a lot of people would predict a Ramsey win here but let us not count out Kutter. He's proven to be a formidable force and from what I understand is still in negotiations to come aboard as a full time member of the nWEFF. His promo against Ramsey was very well done and showed that he hasn't lost a step. Ramsey's promo's have been also very good so there's really a toss up here. I think the match itself will be good as Kutter has the experience and enough great matches under his belt to almost ensure a good match. Ramsey's youth and athleticism should also shine here. I look for a good match here with the possibility of some outside interference. The future of the 'Kutter Owns the nWEFF' angle, from what I understand, is in limbo and we may or may not see a blow off in this match.

- Down Match - SLR v. Xero: One of the few matches that actually has some build up. The two men fought on Gutcheck a few weeks ago and to rave reviews. Xero seems to have a renewed fire and has been putting out great promos as of late.It's obvious that the additions of RPG and Dark Angel have made him more motivated. SLR, on the other hand, has been streaky. SLR is still regarded as a superstar in the nWEFF but needs to rededicate himself he wants to continue to flourish.The match itself will be an instant classic. SLR has proven time and time again that when it's a hardcore match, he pulls out all the stops and Xero has proven on numerous occasions that he does the same. Plus, it's PPV and that means they get more time and more freedom to go 'balls out.' I expect the Down Match to be an absolutely sick affair and one not for the weak of stomach.I expect a classic hardcore battle with both men just barely surviving the Down.

- nWEFF World Championship - JT Steel v. The Shadow (C): Well, there's a lot to say about this match. Two weeks ago no one would have predicted Steel to be in the World Title hunt but due to his hard work and the planned Finley James/Shadow feud that fell through, he's found himself in a great position.He turned pretty much face a few weeks ago and his promos have gotten better. He's working hard for the respect that he feels he's deserved and a win in this match could get him that respect. The Shadow has been a presence on nWEFF t.v. since the reopening but has been sidelined here and there for various reasons. He seems to be back full time and ready to roll and his character continues to be one of, if not the, most interesting character in the fed.There has been some business with the whole 'unification' of the belts but I expect that to be phased out and the focus placed more on the importance of the nWEFF Title. The match itself will pit the technical expertise of the champion agaisnt the more headstrong style of Steel.I think this may be the type of World Title PPV main event that the fed heads have been trying to do for a long time. Both men have lit up the board and this match can literally go either way.

So that's the ppv match by match and on paper,it looks very promising. Will the nWEFF have any of it's trademark ppv debuts or returns? We'll have to see. A lot is riding on this ppv, with lots of new talent on the brink of ushering in a new era and the nWEFF still has to prove that it has what it takes to continue to be a force in the efed world. Check back Wednesday for a post-ppv run down and update.

315-02 Hotline Report

- Well, that was some Gutcheck...or should we call it Kutcheck? Erik Kutter was all over that show but to a good result. The chaotic nature of the show, with all of the twists, turns, and surprises resulted in the rating of the show increasing from start to finish. The show opened with a first quarter hour of 2.7 and by the end of the show had gotten all the way to a 3.9. That's good news for the nWEFF. Some are calling this a turnaround show for the fed as things have really started to pick up. I guess we can chalk it up to excellent booking and jaw dropping surprises.

- For the record, Erik Kutter is under contract only as an on air personality and will not be wrestling in the near future due to contract obligations with another federation. Kutter has been in negotiations with the fed for some time, trying to strike a deal to come in and do something, as he wants the fed to do well, just like everyone else. What? Am I breaking kayfabe? Yes, it is just a storyline marks, he doesn't really own the fed.

- As for Sinister J, he too will not be wrestling but he will be taking over the commentary position. There wasn't a reason for Payne being removed, simply as a storyline tool. Payne will stay on board as a road agent.

- The Shadow will be gone this week, as many of you know, but is expected to be back next week. His absence, however, made booking Gutcheck a challenge as the show was literally booked on the fly, with matches and angles changed right before they happened.

- Look for the 1st and only Down Match in nWEFF history between Xero and his brother Thorne to be featured as the 'Match of the Week' in the History section. This was a brutal one folks but a classic and should get people excited about the upcoming Xero/Ramsey Down Match.

- Slayer's rehab is coming along better than expected but the former champ is still a ways from being able to get back in the ring.

- There have been some talks with lots of talent in the last week, included in those talks are former nWEFFer Platinum, former BDWFer GUY and former ICWer Peter Kohler. All three men would be major additions to the roster.

- The higher ups are hoping that the upturn in business this week will continue and allow them to lock down a day and place for Return 2 Glory because after all, the nWEFF is known for it's PPV spectaculars and that's what the fans are waiting for.

- JT Steel is really turning heads as of late, showing a renewed fire and dedication. Is it time that we finally respect this guy? His match up this week with Attitude will be a very interesting one. The two, in both of their long histories in the nWEFF, have never faced each other. Both men have had runs in the company but their runs have only briefly overlapped and for some, this match is a long time coming. This is a match that could easily headline a PPV because of the name value. Two of the nWEFF's all time great heels squaring off, both using similar finishers...sounds like a winner if you ask me.

- Speaking of first time match ups, SLR and Finley James will face off in the main event of next week's Gutcheck. Finley James' name is synonymous with the BDWF, just as SLR's is with the nWEFF and though SLR did spend a brief time in the BDWF, the two never faced off. For some people, this is one of the few dream cross over matches left out there and it should be a great one as both men are phenomonal workers and are both as crazy as a pet coon. And of course the element of Kutter in there as a ref makes it even more interesting.


3-9-02 Hotline Report

- The big news circulating is a major meeting that took place following Gutcheck on Tuesday. Apparently the talent met with some of the Board of Directors about the state of the fed. The Boss announced that the fed has been losing money hand over fist due to several factors. Many of the superstars in the fed signed big money deals and thus far, the nWEFF hasn't delivered as a product and the income and revenue flows have been nonexistent. Ratings are down from what was expected when the fed reopened and the nWEFF has yet to secure a date for the Return 2 Glory PPV because of it. The execs met with most of the talent roster to talk about what the future holds for the federation. All of the superstars were asked to renegotiate their contracts on an incentive based structure, similar to what JT Steel and Goat recieved. SLR, Slayer,and the Shadow all agreed to the restucture. The Boss and the BoD also announced that they would be looking to outside investors to try and keep the fed afloat. The nWEFF offices have apparently been very tense as of late because of the failure to produce a compelling product thus far and steps are being made to try and reverse that momentum. The talent search continues with Kevin Starr being the most recent name tossed around as an addition to the roster. Nothing has been finalized but apparently the lack of guranteed money is something that's holding a lot of guys back from joining. If the fed could get it's act together, the money would come and the talent would follow but it appears for it to get it's act together, the fed will need to get some new, fresh and dedicated faces and so it's as if they're chasing they're own tail on the situation.

- The other big news coming out Gutcheck was the re-injury to the knee of now former nWEFF World Champion Slayer. The knee had been bothering him all week and was the reason it was worked into the angle and used in the match. Slayer's knee will require surgery and it is not known at this time how long he will be out of action. On a related note, following the meeting with the entire staff after Gutcheck, Slayer met privately with The Boss and we're hearing things got a little hot. Slayer apparently was not happy with the creative direction of his character and was relieved to get the time off to try and refresh the character. The Boss was very upset to be losing such a pivotal part of the federation and tempers got out of hand. The two then had lunch two days later and smoothed things over.

- Speaking of Slayer, he recently negotiated a developmental contract for a young man named Scott Ramsey. Ramsey is a discovry of Slayer's that he found in the Phoenix area. Ramsey, as far as we can tell, has no wrestling background but will be given a shot based on Slayer's recomondation. He may be sent to SLR's training school, Thomer University, before being on nWEFF television but nothing is certain at this point as The Boss wants him on t.v. ASAP.

- The only dark match from Gutcheck was a comedy match between Goat and Dirty Frank Huvey that went over well with the crowd.

- JT Steel came and went from Gutcheck with little or no disruptions. People backstage reported he was nothing but professional. Rumor we're hearing is that Steel may be working towards a theme change in the near future. He's apparently been in contact with rap superstar DMX to work something out. You may recall that SLR did something very similar a few years back with DMX, remixing his hit 'What's My Name?' for SLR's use in the OWO and elsewhere. No word on if the same connections were used to get Steel the meeting with DMX.

- Sinister J arrived at Gutcheck in what some are calling a 'sad state'. He was sent home immediately after his match with Attitude and was told to 'rethink what it means to be an nWEFF superstar'. More on that when we get it.

- John Chase informed the nWEFF offices earlier this week (after the advertisements for next week's Gutcheck had already been posted) that he would not be attending Gutcheck due to his 'vacation.' The Boss apparently was quite peeved about the situation, knowing that it was something that Chase obviously knew about for some time and did not contact him or the nWEFF offices earlier. The money that it's going to cost to send out disclaimers and retractions about the advertised John Chase v. Attitude match will be taken out of Chase's check.

- Attitude is not happy with his lack of competition thus far in the fed. With the exception of SLR the first week, Attitude was booked against Sinister J last week who did nothing and against John Chase this week who will not be around. That was apparently the reason for his refusal to rework his contract and steps are being taken to remedy the situation.

- The new nWEFF World Champion the Shadow was given this week's schedule of appearences on Wednesday morning and apparently was a bit upset. It seems the Shadow was not aware of all the meet and greet type things that are required of the World Champion, who is the ambassador of the fed and was a little surprised to find that he would need to make all of these appearences. I understand that his agent is working to reduce the number of dates he's required to make.

2-28-02 - *** Breaking News *** I've heard from a very reliable source with in the nWEFF that JT Steel has just inked a deal with the nWEFF. No word on when he'll be appearing or to what capacity. No contract details are known at this time, but it is believed that there are mulitple stipulations. This announcement is sure to be met with backlash, as Steel is one of the most hated men in the game, both on and off camera. We will keep on this story as it develops.

- The return broadcast of Gutcheck earned a 3.7 rating. High rated segments included the SLR v. Attitude match which garned a 4.0 rating and the main event which had an overrun of 4.5.

- There are apparently contract talks in the works with 3 members of Hell's Children, the brotherhood of sorts that includes current nWEFF superstar Xero and former nWEFF Internet and Tag Team Champion Thorne.

- I'm told that the next major project from the nWEFF History team will be a revamping of the Hall of Fame. Look for that to take place in the coming weeks.

- Still no word on a date for Return 2 Glory but word has it that it should be finalized shortly and could be announced as early as Tuesday on Gutcheck.

- Nothing new to report the Lee Lewis situation. He was seen recently at the premiere of the Britney Spears movie, 'Crossroads' a movie that Lewis wrote and executive produced. Way to go Lee!

- Slayer has been dealing with a severe stomach infection, believed to be due to some food poisoning. He is still scheduled to appear on Gutcheck and defend his title against the Shadow.

- I've heard rumblings of a new member of RTC being revealed soon.

- Goat was seen at the nWEFF offices recently. No word on his situation with the company. Speculation around his returning the nWEFF has begun since appearing in a cameo roll in a recent SLR promo.

- That lack of rps in the fed has some concerned, perhaps something should be done.

No DQ Falls Count Anywhere

#1 Contender for the nWEFF World Title
John Chase v. Finley James


nWEFF World Championship Match
the Shadow v. Slayer (C)



2-18-02 - It's the eve of the nWEFF's return broadcast and there's some big news to get to:

- First, it appears there have been some complications with Lee Lewis' contract and he will NOT be appearing on Gutcheck and that explains his lack of promos. As far as we know, Lewis WILL be in the nWEFF at some point it's just a matter of when. What that means for the nWEFF Internet Title semi final match he is apart of is unknown but we assumed something will be done. If any more news on Lee Lewis is uncovered, we'll bring it to you.

- John Chase, former nWEFF Hardcore and Internet Champion (also maybe a tag? not sure), made an abrupt return the other day, cutting some surprisingly good promos. He's made hints at just about everyone and has mentioned going after the Internet Title. No more information is known at this time.

- Word I'm getting is a major name was signed recently but that he won't be debuting for at least a couple of weeks. All we've been told is that he is a big name no matter which way you cut it.

- Also hearing that the results may not be up until later tomorrow due to them doing some work for their dad unexpectadly. Shouldn't be a major problem, just don't start asking.

- Rumor has it the nWEFF will return to PPV with 'Return 2 Glory' apparently a play on words, playing off the last time the nWEFF reopened with 'Return to Glory,' perhaps the 2 is to indicate that it's the second installment? Oh shit, I dunno.


2-12-02 - The nWEFF announced the signing of The Shadow about a week ago. Little is known about the competitor, save for the glimpse into his life we've gotten through is promos, but one thing is for sure, this man's past is hectic. In the following article, we'll get some of the quesitons answered about The Shadow.

The Shadow: New member to the nWEFF, new threat to all members

There is a new man in black that stalks the halls of the nWEFF; he is The Shadow. At an imposing 6'7 and an impressive 290 lbs., this man is intimidating in his own right. His past only makes him more so. The Shadow has told some of his past, yet it's apparent that he has intentionally omitted some details.

The Shadow says he was born into a typical nuclear family, right up until the age of four. During a game of hide and seek, The Shadow had his innocent world destroyed by a pair of gunshots. He was sent to live with his uncle, who was not only a war veteran, but a veritable master of fighting arts. For many years, The Shadow learned, honed and trained his skills into that of an incredible warrior. The Shadow had finally developed the mental discipline to come to grips with the tragedy that had shattered his life when cruel fate struck again and his uncle, the man that raised him from age four to age twenty, was gunned down as well. This sent The Shadow over the edge, pushing him to not only avenge his uncle, but enter the world of contracted hitmen.

The Shadow became the world's premiere hitman, but only on the terms he chose. If you wanted an accident, a heart attack or one to die in his sleep, you didn't call him. But to make an example, to show how safe people weren't, to create a serious attack, he was your contact.

And yet, The Shadow one night came to realize what he was. He was not the man he had been raised to be. Full of remorse, he immediately contacted the FBI. A man of meticulous records, The Shadow managed to negotiate a deal: his departure from the profession would allow him to live unharassed by any law enforcement agency if he turned over the information the FBI wanted. Within months, hundreds of crime lords fell, all because of the documents The Shadow had turned in

The Shadow turned to a life of wrestling, hoping ot find work in which his intense physical conditioning and fighting skills would support him. However, lately he has struggled with the beast within; the cold ruthlessness of the assassin's heart threaten to surface once more...


2-12-02 - The nWEFF announced the card for it�s return show on the 19th of February. On the card we�ve got 2 matches that will determine the following week�s Internet Title match. One would think that the favorite out of these four men would be former nWEFF World Champion and nWEFF Hall of Famer, the �Legendary�ELee Lewis but since little is known of Block Vander, Jaisen Wallace appears to have improved greatly and Serpyh having the RTC on his side, the title is really anyone�s to win.

Also on the card is a match between Attitude and SLR, two men who know each other very well. The past between these two men is well documented. Attitude is coming off a long lay off but seems to be hungry while SLR is hot off a run in the PTC sponsored Old School Wrestling and some are saying he�s better than he�s ever been. I expect a great match between these two and this will be a test of sorts for Attitude, who comes in after a few disappointing returns in the past. If we can see the Attitude that once dominated the fed as the nWEFF World Champion, then the landscape of the fed changes. However, if we see the undedicated Attitude we saw the last time he was in the fed, then perhaps people will give up on Attitude.

We�ll see a #1 Contenders match between Xero, a man who�s becoming an nWEFF faithful and The Shadow, a new competitor in these parts but said to be managed by someone with fed ties who saw success here in the past. Xero is strongly looking to establish himself as well as his Right To Corrupt group as a strong heel force, look for him to go all out in this match as a way of cementing himself as a player in the fed. On the other side, rumor has it that The Shadow will be a very intriguing character in the fed. He had a very good meeting at the nWEFF offices earlier this week and what we�re hearing is that everyone is very excited about where this character is going.

And finally, the main event of Gutcheck will see Sinister J (formally just Sinister; we�ve gotten no word on the reason for the name change but who�s gonna say anything to Sinister?) challenge his former stable mate for a title he held shortly after the last nWEFF restart. Sinister and nWEFF World Champion Slayer were once a part of the mega-hot heel faction Generation NeXt, a stable that was a major part of the nWEFF�s previous run. Sinister has never been one to keep friends and the two eventually parted ways. Sinister will now try and beat Slayer, who holds the nWEFF title but hasn�t really defended it in quite some time. No one doubts Slayer�s ability but his first title defense in awhile comes against a proven competitor and one who know�s Slayer as well as just about anyone in this game. This match should be very interesting.

- It�s also reported that Finley James will make an appearance, presumably to cut a promo of some sort. James was scheduled to compete on Gutcheck but sprained an ankle during a workout this week and was deemed unable to compete for the broadcast next Tuesday. All signs indicate that he�ll be ready to go on the following card.

- The nWEFF announced that the broadcast booth will see some new faces next week. Former nWEFF World Champion, the retired Seargant Maxwell Payne and his significant other and former nWEFF reporter Channon Russell. The nWEFF is always turning heads and the move of putting a female in the booth is sure to stir a little controversy. As for Payne, he will no doubt bring some interesting insight to the table as he is familiar with many men on the current nWEFF roster.

- The nWEFF�s History section is expected to be up later this week. Word has it the section will feature great matches from the nWEFF vault, often times with insight from the competitors. I understand that the first match to be featured will be a match many consider to be the greatest in nWEFF history, the Death Wish Rules Cage match for the nWEFF World title. A match that many people feel made superstars out of two men who will compete on Tuesday, Attitude and current nWEFF Champion Slayer. Look for this to be up within a couple of days.

- Should be back later in the week with another hotline report. Keep your eyes on the rp board as things should start to heat up.


2-10-02 - Bob Frapples sat down with Xero and Alexandra to talk about a range of topics:

An interveiw with Xero and Alexandra

Bob Frapples took the time this week to sit down with the dark pairing of Xero and Alexandra of theRTC and ask thema few questions about the past and their present.

*We see Bob sitting in a dark room across form him is Xero and Alexandra from Right to Corrupt Inc. Xero and Alexandra are smileing looking rather normal today.*

Frapples: It's good to see you guys here again.

Xero: *smiles* Thank you Bob. It's good to be back in the nWEFF

Frapples: So what have you guys been up to? It's been a little while since we seen the RTC inc.

Alexandra: *thinks momentarily* Well we took some time off and decided to just let our bodies heal and rest up.. you know we've been going hard since the UTW.

Xero: *laughs* Yeah there comes a point when even we have to rest.

Frapples: I know there are a lot out there who don't know about your guys and your past. Let's give thema quick reiew you guys got started in Jeff Meidl's UTW?

Xero: *nods slowly* Save a few indies, yeah that was our big break. We hooked up with a group call the Atomic age and well.. pretty much did crazy things.

Frapples: Including Invading the nWEFF under tommy brents to get ratings up.

Xero: *glares darkly at Bob* You had to bring that up didn't you?

Alexandra: *sighs* Always with the invasion thing... it was over two years ago.

Xero: *shakes his head* Yeah we did. We crashed some house shows and a televised events and bribed people to come down the road to where we were playing. Made a big spectical of it too. Our ratings went up.. Tommy and the Nweff was off t.v. fast after that.

Frapples: So what happened after that?

Xero: *Says irritatedly* Well I got into a feud with RPG and Film buff Fusaki and making a long story short ended up with a title. But just to Dramatically shorten this part Bob.. because lord knows the fans don't really care who I am and What I've done, or how much I've bled. *Starting yell a bit* I got the title and kidnapped, burned, Beat wrestled and danm near annilated everything in my path. Be it for Jeff, Niq, The Atomic Age, Hell's children, or myself... I took everyone in my way out...

Frapples: Save Thorne...

Xero: *Growls* You know you are wearing on my nerves Frapple..... *sounding rather angry* Thorne is an Egomanic that Me and Xavair took under our wing then stabbed us in the back. We're not here to talk about Thorne though.. We're here to talk about the RTC inc. and the nWEFF

Frapples: Alright... So what is the Right to Corrupt doing here?

Xero: *Smiles smugly* Isn't that obvious? What ever we want. Me and Seryph with Alexandra here.. WE take what we want? WE do what we want. Who's gonna stop us? I'll tell you who. No one. Accorrding to our contract as long as we don't attack the president or the execs... we can't be suspend, expelled or fired. *grins Evilly*

Frapples: *Surprisedly* You've got to be kidding.

Alexandra: We're not look at the contracts yourself.

*she drops a contract on the table in front of Bob. His eyes widen as he reads through the pages*

Frapples: *Astoundedly* This is insane why would...

Xero: *yells* Because we sell that's why! Because weare the most evil human beings on this planet! *Get's in Bob's face* Look at me Bob! Look at me! *Screaming feircely* I have been through more tables.. more explosives... Then anyone! I been thrown through Cages, off buildings... I was buried alive for two months bob... TWO MONTHS!!! *grabs bob by the shirt* Do you understand me!?! In the ground .....with nothing but earth around me. Do you know what that does to a person? DO YOU?

Frapples: n..no sir...

Xero: *Still screaming* That's right.. Because no one has been through that hell. I am Hell. I have earned the Right to Corrupt!! I have earned the right to do What I want. And no one will get in my way.. In Alexandra's way... In Seryph's way.. because I have no problem hitting you or anyone with a bus.. Just like I did to Jeff back in the day!

Alexandra: *Places a hand on Xero's shoulder* Xero calm down... I think you've scared him enough.

Xero: *Takes a few long deep breaths* Alright alright...I'm cool. Is there anything else. *sits down

Frapples: um... uh... Who in he nWEFF if anyone do you have your sights set on?

Xero: That's simple.... The highest paying contractor.

Frapples: EXcuse me.

Xero: *Growls* Are you Deaf? The-High-est-Con-Tract-or. You forget Bob.. We work for money. We'll beat up anyone you want us too.. for a price. Money, A favor.. if the price is right... We'll get the job done. No matter what. And through that... Bob.... WE will slowly show everyone the path to true rightousness... the path of darkness... and everyone.. even you will see... that our pleasure... *whispers* is for... your.. own.... good.....

*bob stares at him and nods slowly*

Xero: Are we done?

*Bob nods again*

Xero: good.....

*Xero and Alexandra get up and walk out of the room.. *
