William Regal Seriously Disliked In WWE Locker Room
The following news is derived and re-written from the Torch Newsletter.
Apparently William Regal isn't winning any popularity contests in the RAW locker room. Some say Regal is somewhat of a stooge, always hanging around Triple H and trying to make friends in high places, while he turns around and tries acting like "one of the boys" when Triple H or anyone else in power isn't around.
In addition to that, he has been critiquing a lot of the wrestlers work in recent weeks, which many take as an insult based on how he approaches the situation and the fact that many feel he has become very lazy in the ring.
Regal is considered a moody person and no one ever knows which mood he will show up to the arena in. During a recent house show tour, the general locker room atmosphere was said to be much better in part due to Regal's absent from the particular tour.

Possible RAW Spoiler, Elimination Chamber Changes, & More
On this coming Monday's edition of RAW, there will be a 5-10 minute tribute to the WWE Anthology CD which will be released on Tuesday. Last week, Bubba Ray and Trish Stratus taped segments speaking on their favorite entrance theme songs of all-time. Depending on what is planned for Monday's RAW, this segment could be featured on the Saturday Confidential timeslot instead.
For whatever reason, WWE has dropped the storyline between Christopher Nowinski and Molly Holly. Many may remember the storyline where Nowinski was attempting to take Molly Holly's virginity.
WWE had tossed around the idea of adding Ric Flair in the mix of the Elimination Chamber match scheduled for the Survivor Series pay-per view. The main reason Flair's name was brought up was due to the fact that the match only features two heels, Triple H and Chris Jericho. The idea has since been s Rubbishped as many believe the two heels to four babyfaces ratio won't be a factor in the match.

WWE's New Direction, Another RAW/SmackDown Trade, more
Most of the wrestlers on both RAW and SmackDown! are strongly against the new direction WWE has been taken in recent weeks. Many close to the situation say Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon are very enthusiastic about it. Apparently Kevin Dunn is the creative mind behind taking this new "soap opera" direction with the company, which Vince McMahon ate up. However, after a dramatic decline in ratings a mere two weeks in to the new direction, the McMahon's had no other option but to attempt to erase that particular two-week era in WWE history. The plan is to go ahead with storylines like the HHH/Katie Vick angle, and Undertaker cheating on his wife, never happened.
It seems likely that Bill DeMott will be returning to action on the SmackDown! roster instead of the RAW roster as originally planned. Some argue the point by claiming DeMott was originally drafted to the SmackDown! roster during the website lottery draft, and will be part of Eric Bischoff's "assortment of wrestlers" acquired from the Big Show trade. An idea being tossed around at this point is to have Bill DeMott & Christoher Nowinski vs. Al Snow & Maven at Survivor Series. However, WWE would have to put DeMott on RAW this Monday and announce the match as it is the final RAW before Survivor Series.

I should also mention that on Tuesday Piper will be at the Hollywood Book and Poster Company on Hollywood Blvd. from 7-9 p.m.

Precise Details On Rules For Elimination Chamber Match
The big question going into Survivor Series is what is the Elimination Chamber? What does it consist of? What does it look like? Here is the latest.
The cage itself is being constructed in a remote location in Colorado Springs, CO. That's about 20 minutes away from my home and within the next several days, I am going to try to head down to see if I can find anything.
Right now, the cage is a massive dome, about 30 feet high. From the looks of things, there will be four smaller cages (Chambers) inside the dome itself. With five men in the cage, the object will be to put your opponent in one of the the four chambers. Once all four men are locked in their chamber, there will be one man standing and he will be crowned World Champion.
Many think it will come down to HBK vs. Triple H with HBK actually winning the World Title at Survivor Series.
As of right now, nothing is set in stone and the cage itself is still being built.
