-Steve Austin and Vince McMahon apparently had a public disagreement backstage at RAW this past Monday. The disagreement, which became very "animated," apparently had to do with how an angle was set to go. Word is that Steve Austin got his way in the end.

-The WWF was apparently very happy with how the Undertaker/David Flair segment from RAW turned out. The segment was produced by Paul Heyman.

-Paul Heyman continues to have a hot and cold relationship with Vince McMahon, where at times he has a lot of stroke and at other times he does not.

-Another key member of WWF management, Pat Patterson, apparently wants to lighten his schedule. He and Paul Heyman are apparently the top two WWF management members who have been trying to stand up against Vince McMahon and the general direction that the promotion is currently going in.

-The WWF's new announcer, Marc Loyd, is scheduled to debut this Monday on RAW. Loyd will interview wrestlers backstage in a role like that of Jonathon Coachman. (I guess the Rock needs a new guy to verbally rape every week since Coach is getting old.)

-A WWF Anthology box set is being worked on and should be out by the summer. It will feature all of the greatest WWF entrance songs from the '80s to the present. (Insert joke about awful '80s wrestler's equally awful entrance song here.)

-The UPN Network is apparently interested in adding a second WWF show. UPN will apparently be looking very closely at the "WWF Divas: Sex On The Beach" special that is set to air next Wednesday. If the rating for the show is high, it could be turned into a weekly series.

Interestingly enough, the original idea for Smackdown was for it to be an all-women show centered around Sable. That idea, however, was obviously dropped in favor of the Smackdown that currently airs.

If the Austin story is true Austin has a lot of power.

Anyone sick of the NWO yet. It sucks. It is extremely boring and they are weaker than Austin or the Rock. Unless they have Scott Steiner debuting on Raw on Monday to help punk out Austin and Rock, that tag match will be awful.

Yeah well, it's the nWo. What'd you expect?? It brought a spark to the fed but it's dead now. Things will get better once each of the three members go off on their own.
