- Hulk Hogan is telling people that he has a broken rib, which he picked up before a recent 3-day-workout session with the Rock. Also, Hogan and Rock have set out the plans for their match this Sunday, and both men are said to be happy.
- Apparently, Kevin Nash is upset with his current WWF schedule. He has been heard telling people that he is unhappy with having to work 20 shows over the past month, even though his contract only requires him to work 12 shows per month.
- It is being reported that Steve Austin is also upset. It is unknown what he is upset over, but it's most likely that he isn't happy with the WWF's current direction. He has made his feelings clear to Vince on several occassions.
- Vince McMahon is pushing the nWo very hard backstage. A lot of people have noticed that the nWo are currently his "pet project." It is well documented that Vince takes a lot of interest in the storylines of his top stars.
- Former WWF champion Bret Hart called into the Much Music's "Much On Demand" show yesterday afternoon. He was asked the usual questions, and about the "Legends Of Wrestling" video game. When asked who he thought was the biggest punk in wrestling, Hart said he thinks Triple H is.
- There are apparently no plans to bring back Shawn Michaels in a significant way. Rumors indicate that Michaels still has some heat with Triple H since Shawn believes that Triple H bad-mouthed him last year April. Furthermore, reports indicate that last week when Michaels was backstage at the Smackdown! show, he did not hang out with Triple H, prompting friends of both to state that there is still tension between the two.
- The WWF is still telling wrestlers to expect the roster split to occur shortly after Wrestlemania.
- The nWo are pushing hard backstage for the return of X-Pac. Their tactics seem to have worked, as many think that X-Pac will be back within a week. There is a possibility of X-Pac interfering in Scott Hall's match with Austin at WrestleMania, causing Hall to win. X-Pac would then come out with Hall & Nash the next night in Montreal. This idea has upset some people backstage, since X-Pac would be leap-frogging wrestlers who have been working hard to get over.

More news on why Austin has been pissed as of late, this also explains what he and Vince were fighting about on RAW a couple weeks back.
- Several of the WWF's top writing team members, and top wrestlers, are frustrated with Vince McMahon's current plans for the WWF. Vince McMahon can get his way with most people backstage, including Paul Heyman, Triple H and Pat Patterson. However, Steve Austin does not give in as easily if he think an idea stinks. Austin didn't like what Vince had planned for Austin's angle with Scott Hall at RAW two weeks ago. Austin managed to get the script changed to most of what he wanted. The argument was over the beating Austin was going to take on that RAW. The original script called for a very mild angle, but Austin wanted to take a bigger beating. He went to Hall & Nash, and asked them if they thought the script "sucked as bad as he thought." Hall & Nash agreed with him. Also, Hall wanted to have an evenly contested match with Spike Dudley, but Vince wanted a squash.
