 > NWA.
 > 
 > \_/ RAW put up a good fight but Nitro regained the top spot in ratings.  Nitro
 > had 5.1 which beat RAW's respectable 4.4.
 > 
 > \_/ Val Venis, Sid, and Brian Christopher may be joining DX.
 > 
 > \_/ Sable broke her toe in three places during an encounter with Luna. The
 > injury came when referee Tim White fell on her foot during the altercation.
 > Sable will be seeing a specialist today, and might have to have a pin inserted
 > in her foot to avoid problems with arthritis. The injury will undoubtedly
 > cause WWF officials to make changes in the way the Sable vs. Luna match will be
 > handled. If Sable is able to appear, it will be in a limited role. 
 > 
 > \_/ Yokozuna was at a WWF House Show yesterday in Springfield, MA. He was
 > watching the show, wearing sun glasses, and has lost a lot of weight. It is
 > predicted he is around 450 lbs now.

 > 
 > -"Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and "Too Hot" Scott Taylor over Taka Michinoku
 > and Aguila.
 > -Faarooq over the Rock via DQ when NOD interfered. The ref actually counted
 > three before the Nation interfered but they just made it look like it never
 > happened and announced it as a DQ. I also believe this match was for the IC
 > belt too.
 > -Justin Bradshaw over Savio Vega.
 > -Headbangers over Midnight Express.(non-title)
 > -Owen Hart over Goldust w/Luna via sharpshooter.
 > -LOD over New Age Outlaws via DQ when Chyna interfered. Sunny wasn't there.
 > -Undertaker over Kane via DQ when Fat man (Paul Bearer) interfered.
 > -Steve Austin over HHH for the WWF Heavyweight championship. Chyna was also
 > stunned.
 > 
 > \_/ Steve Reagle and Duke "The Dumpster" Drosie will join WWF.
 > 
 > \_/ Kane and Undertaker will fight at Unforgiven, and then maybe have one more
 > match before they accuse Bearer of setting the fire.
 > 
 > \_/ X-Pac should be back in the ring in June or July.

 > \_/ Randy Savage's loss of the belt was to give him more time to recover from

 > 
 > \_/ WCW is suing Flair for 2 million dollars for breaching his contract by
 > missing many Nitro and Thunder shows.
 >

 > 
 > \_/ Rey Mysterio Jr. is planning to leave WCW and join the WWF when his

 > 
 > \_/ As you already know, Hall is in rehab again because of his addiction that

 > Louie Spicolli overdosed on.
 > 
 > \_/ Malenko, Benoit, Jericho, and Regal are all upset with WCW and now that
 > Syxx got the big deal with WWF their fears of WWF not pushing smaller guys are
 > gone and they could be headed up north.  Chris Jericho and Dean Malenko both
 > told fans that they are unhappy with WCW and want to jump ship when their
 > contracts are up. Jericho's ends in August.

 > *If you want to advertise a web site, it'll cost $5 a month! The ad should

 > column brief.
 >      The thing I'd like to address this week is judging someone or making fun of
 > them when you don't know them. It has been reported that Hunter Hurst
 > Helmsley (Paul Levesque) and Chyna (Joannie Lee) are engaged. If you have
 > been on the wrestling newsgroups or some of the wrestling sites, a lot of
 > people have made fun of Joannie, claiming she's a man, she abuses
 > steroids, numerous things. You may have done it, I know I have, and the
 > thing is, we shouldn't. This is a human being with feelings just like you
 > and me. She does get paid to take heat in the ring, but the comments
 > concerning this lady that do not happen in the context of a show can be
 > very hurtful. I know I would be very hurt if I was her. I think we should
 > lay off this lady and let her live her life. If you are going to give her
 > heat. If you are going to verbally abuse and make fun of this lady, you
 > had better be willing to be abused, made fun of, and hurt. I'm not, are
 > you?

 > We would also like to acknowledge dedications to Lyle Root, who died of Lou
 > Gehrigs disease awhile back. Lyle is obviously Jerry's father. The last
 > dedication is to Jerry himself, who has constantly helped out TRE in and
 > behind the scenes. All three of these people are truly TRE Legends.
