-- Rob Van Dam forgot his Hardcore title belt at last weekend's house show, so the WWF used a different belt in his match against X-Pac.

-- Jim Ross was sick last week with the flu and showed up at the arena just in time to announce RAW. For Smackdown! the next night, he was still around but was still not recovered from his illness. It is a common fact amongst Ross' colleagues that he is overworked.

-- Veteran WWF superstars are growing more and more upset that their house show payoffs have decreased since the acquisition of WCW. As a result, several wrestlers are in favor of creating totally different shows for the WCW wrestlers.

-- WWF wrestlers also stated that their WCW counterparts have the right look but lack appropriate in ring skills, while ECW wrestlers have good ring skills but lack the look.

Thats always what it was, WCW were show but no work, ECW was all work with little show, and the WWF was the mecca of all wrestling.

Most fans also want the same thing. What don't they get? Too many talents for One FED. Split them up already!

I think wrestling 7 nights a week might be much. Even the 24 hour a day wrestling channel sounds bad to me. two shows a week are more than enough. But if they do a seperate show with the wcw talent they have it will bomb they have no talent in the WVW faction and the ECW faction is mostly WWF wrestlers they already had.

wrestling 7 nights would be way too much, i like to sit down on monday nights watch raw, sometimes smackdown, and have the weekends for sports, wwf already has like 3 recap shows, 3 weekly ones(raw,smackdown,heat), then they have metal and jakked, they have way too many shows already
