- The tag-team division in the WWF is really heating up. Brother Love might join the Dudleys. Hardyz also took a leap not only for going up against Austin/HHH but because of Jeff winning the IC Title. Expect Jeff and Matt to go in different directions very soon. Farooq and Bradshaw might be next in line to get their hands on the WWF Title, Edge and Christian are the current title holders. Also, the Y2J and Benoit team are forming what might be one of the most talented teams in WWF history.
- Word is that Sting has little interest in joining the WWF and will announce his retirement from the business in the next few weeks.
- Don't hold your breath waiting for Goldberg to surface in the WWF. It seems the former WCW champion is content to collect his checks from Turner Sports and might sit home and wait out his contract.
- Devon Storm (most recently Crowbar in WCW) competed in a dark match at the "Smackdown" tapings and might be on his way to the WWF.
- People on hand for the last few WWF shows say the Right To Censor has lost its heat and might be forced to accelerate its breakup. Fans are begging the WWF for the return of the Godfather.
- HHG Corp., the parent company of ECW, officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, claiming $1,385,000 in assets and $8,881,000 in debts.

- The relaunch of the Shane McMahon-led WCW is set for June 13 in Fairfax, Va.
