- Undertaker and Steve Austin have recently spoken up to colleagues with thoughts regarding the signings of Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan. Both have publically stated that they have worked too hard in the past few years to bring the WWF up to the stature that it is today to simply sacrifice to people who aren't going to work for it. Austin and Taker have also both made it clear that they will not sell any "crappy offense". Conversely, Triple H has defended all three nWo members to wrestlers.
- There are also rumors that Eric Bischoff will join the nWo within the next few months. The WWF had previously attempted to sign Bischoff but those talks fell through. However, now reports indicate that Bischoff to the WWF is a "lock".
- Here is what the WWF is tentatively planning for Wrestlemania:
Chris Jericho vs. Triple H
The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan
Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall
Undertaker vs. Kevin Nash or Undertaker/Kane vs. Kevin Nash & X-Pac
- Scott Hall has already made an unfavorable impression on WWF management and wrestlers. Apparently one of the things he did to annoy some of his colleagues is walk up to an unknown wrestler and tell him that he would kick out of his finisher for no apparent reason.
- After PPV cut off on TV, the nWo left the arena (which took a while), Scott Hall made his way back down to the ring to attack Stone Cold some more. However, Austin caught him in a Stunner, KOing the nWo member. Afterwards, Austin began to head down the ramp, only to turn back around immediately & had about three or four beers tossed his way. He exited to his theme music. After he was gone, Sgt. Slaughter came out, and made sure that Scott Hall left the arena with no further troubles from him. At any given time fifty refs can be out there, but when the Sarge comes out they all pay attention. After Hall left to the nWo theme.
- There's an interesting article at TSN that gives an overview of the nWo's debut at last night's No Way Out PPV. It discusses their legitimate backstage heat, crowd reaction, and some photos from the PPV including one of Austin with "nWo" spraypainted across his back at the end of the night.
