Undertaker's Mistress, McMahon's Embarrassments, & More

Tracy Dali, the women that played the Undertaker's mistress on WWE SmackDown! has an official website over at TracyDali.com. Fans of her work are encouraged to check that out.

Shane "Hurricane" Helms ahs updated the Diary section on his site. To see what one half of the Tag-Team Champions had to say, click here.

It seems Vince McMahon's legal loss to the World Wildlife Fund, Rock and Steve Austin bailing on him, as well as being sued by Nicole Bass, all contributed to him falling down the list in "Entertainment Weekly's" annual "101 Most Powerful People In Entertainment". The company's poor performances and poor fiscal ratings were not even mentioned

More on Lennox Lewis/Brock Lesnar, NWA-TNA; more

- There was a report in the Daily Star, which is a United Kingdom tabloid, that Vince McMahon is trying to get Lennox Lewis to face Brock Lesnar for the No Way Out PPV on 2/23 in Montreal. Apparently Vince McMahon had a meeting with Lewis two weeks ago though Lewis's people refused to comment or confirm anything. Just keep in mind that this is a long shot and is no way confirmed yet.

- In an interesting move, the NWA-TNA Tag Team Champions Chris Harris & James Storm will be making their first championship defense outside of the NWA-TNA when they defend their titles against opponents to be determined at the NWA Main Event show in Columbia, TN at the "Freddie’s Auction House & Sportatorium".

Goldberg Announces His Return To The Wrestling Ring

- Bill Goldberg's official website, BillGoldberg.com has announced that Goldberg will be making another return to the ring for All Japan in Tokyo. The date is scheduled for December to sometime in January. When asked about a meeting with Vince McMahon and WWE he said he doesn't know about a meeting yet.

Goldberg will spend about a week this month filming his Warner-Brothers movie, and another week in November, too. Goldberg recently filmed his first scene from the movie with Steve Martin and another with Yosemite Sam, where the former WCW World Champion slams Sam’s head into a treasure chest.

When asked what he's been into recently he had the following to say; “Training, I haven’t really had the ability or necessity to train full speed in a while. Now I need to and I can. I’m really focused now on getting into great shape,” said Goldberg, who has even been doing daily muay thai classes while in San Diego. “That’s tough, very tough. Weighing 280 pounds and doing the things I’m doing, such as throwing 500 kicks and 500 punches, is not easy.”

Backstage Controversy Over Holly/Lesnar Incident

The following news is derived from the Pro Wrestling Torch newsletter.

As mentioned in the Ross Report the last few weeks, Bob "Hardcore" Holly will be out several months with post-concussion syndrome. The injury occured in his match with Brock Lesnar when he was dropped on his head during a botched powerbomb spot. Holly told the referee during the match that he was okay to continue, and even worked more matches after that during WWE live events. Holly has since been suffering from post-concussion syndrome and may even be experiencing neurological problems as well.

The match in which Holly was injured has garnered a lot of talk in the locker room. Apparently the spot where he was dropped on his head was accident. Lesnar seemingly gave up on lifting Holly during the move, or Holly was sandbanging him. Many say Holly has done this in the past with rookies, sandbagging them (not co-operation, basically being dead-weight), to make the guys look weak. Although Holly hasn't admitted to doing such a thing, many in the locker room feel it was just Holly being Holly.

Jeff Hardy Fined By WWE, Kurt Angle To Olympics, & More

Many in the locker room of WWE claim Jeff Hardy has completely lost his passion for pro wrestling in recent months. After arriving late for shows in Denver and Fresno recently, both of which he was fined by WWE for, he has been nobody's sweetheart in WWE to say the least. At the last WWE pay-per view, Unforgiven, Hardy was supposed to be backstage all day, as every wrestler is during WWE televised/PPV shows, but didn't even arrive to the building until the UnAmericans match was going on during the pay-per view itself. Many claim Hardy is in hotter water than people realize in WWE, and wouldn't rule out the possibility of Hardy being released from the company if he continues on this route.

Kurt Angle continues to think about making a return to the Olympics in 2004. If he were to make such a move, Angle would take off from WWE most likely at the end of this year to enable him a little under 2 years to train for the competition. Many in WWE believe Angle is leaning more towards staying out of the Olympics, and staying in the WWE, at this point. However, there is no proof to those rumors, and the situation is seemingly still up in the air at this point.

Lesnar To Defeat Undertaker, This Monday's RAW, & More

The following news and rumors are derived from BlackJack Brown at SunTimes.com.

Next Sunday at No Mercy, Brock Lesnar will have the chance to dispose of another legend in the Undertaker. Lesnar has already crushed Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania as well as defeating the Rock at SummerSlam.

Next Sunday's match against the Undertaker all point to signs of another famous Brock Lesnar win. Firstly, the Undertaker has suffered a broken hand, which will not stand him in good stead for entering the infamous Hell in a Cell. Secondly, and probably most importantly, Lesnar will be determined to show the world that his previous victories were not flukes and that nobody can compete with his size and strength. One thing is for sure, if Lesnar defeats the Undertaker at No Mercy, it will catapult him to stardom.

It has already been reported that Vince McMahon will be holding a meeting before RAW this Monday. It is said that the meeting is mainly to give the RAW roster the proverbial 'shot in the arm' as standards have not been to McMahon's liking recently. It should be interesting to see how the show pans out after the meeting.

It is rumored that Test may be gone from the WWE before Christmas. The big man recently angered WWE officials by refusing to cut his long hair and lose the leather pants.

Torrie Wilson Speaks On Her Boyfriend, Fellow Divas, & More

Thanks to reader Andrew Adams for the following.

Hey, I was home flicking through the channels and I passed one that Torrie Wilson was on. Anyway, here is a little run over of the stuff I did hear her talking about:

- She says the divas are all friends. So it makes it easier wrestling them because if she happened to hit them harder than planned by accident, they wouldn't take it personally.

- She said that wrestling is "a guys soap" (opera)! She said that it is intended for the men mainly, but they love that the female viewers are also into it.

- She also said that she is engaged to her boyfriend, who is also a wrestler... we all know that's Billy Kidman.

- She went on to talk about how she is surprised day after day when people notice her in airports, or walking down the street without make-up on. She said it surprised her because without make-up I guess she figures herself as unprepared and ugly, I don't know... I just heard her say walking through airports and stuff without my make-up looking ugly.

- She said that people would like the shows planned here in Canada. And that's the last part of it. Camera shuts off showing a picture of her in a bikini.

(Oh yea... while they were interviewing her, at one point they played her entrance video, and of coarse the bikini photos, I believe from Divas In Hedonism or something, and she, rolled her eyes. I could be wrong, but it seemed she did. Like I said I could be wrong.)

Inside News On Lesnar/Taker Cell Match, New WWE Style

The following tidbits are partially derived from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:

If you recall, a few weeks back Terry Taylor went backstage at WWE events as a try-out procedure to get a WWE agent position. There was a lot of heat on him from his previous time with the company, but he was given a fair shot. It was actually Taylor's suggestion to make the Taker-Lesnar stipulation a Hell in a Cell match. This obviously shows that Taylor is interested in the Internet fans because many of them were not happy with the result of the Taker-Lesnar match and a rematch that did not feature an exciting stipulation would not draw good buys.

WWE is currently trying to bring back mat-based wrestling. Many fans have praised Smackdown's "wrestling style", which I would imagine to have been somewhat of an influence in that decision. Currently, wrestlers are being told to lay back on the amount of punches and kicks in the bottom of house show cards, which is creating some tension backstage.

RAW News & Notes: Kane's Murder, Kevin Nash, & More

Next on TSN: Mon Oct 14 @ 9:00 PM et
WWE Raw : Is The Big Red Machine a murderer? The answer could be at Montreal's Bell Centre, as RAW airs live with six days to go before No Mercy!

On another RAW-related story, last week it was the injured Randy Orton, this week it will be Kevin Nash hosting the RAW party live at The World in Times Square, New York. The WWE website doesn't mention if there will be live cut-backs to Nash during RAW like they did with Orton last week, but it is likely that they will.

Scott Steiner's Return, Undertaker Leaving WWE, Tommy Dreamer News

The latest word is that Undertaker will be taking some time off after the UK Rebellion PPV for elbow surgery. Details are sketchy right now as to how much time he will miss.

Tommy Dreamer did not work the RAW shows this weekend as he was given time off to marry Theresa Hayes (known to wrestling fans as Beulah McGillicuty). Additionally, Spike Dudley also had the weekend off to attend the wedding. This website would like to congratulate Dreamer and McGillicuty on their marriage and wish them the best.

As an update on Steiner's big return to wrestling on October 29th, Scott Steiner will not only be competing at Hell-O-Ween at Medieval Times in New Jersey, but will also be attending "FanFest" before the show. Steiner, along with Steve Corino, will be signing autographs and meeting with fans.

Lesnar/Lewis Update, Undertaker's Injury, & More

Apparently, the Lennox Lewis camp approached Vince McMahon about working a shoot-fight in WWE, not the other way around. Basically, Lewis doesn't have too many high-dollar opponents in boxing right now, unless he fought Mike Tyson in a rematch that probably wouldn't turn out as big as the previous. He has lost random titles for not fighting mandatory opponents in boxing, and has even contemplated retiring from professional fighting. His team contacted McMahon as a way of making a quick couple million dollars to wrestle someone, and the interest is definitely there on both sides.

In a similar story, there is a rumor going around about the possibility of another former world boxing champion, Michael Moorer, who most may remember as the guy who lost the title to a 47 year old George Foreman, wrestling for WWE in a match as well. The opponent being talked about for Moorer, would most likely be Kurt Angle.

Tommy Laughlin (Dreamer) was given the weekend off from WWE as he married his former valet from ECW, Beulah McGillicutty, real name Theresa Hayes. Matt Hyson, aka Spike Dudley, was also given the weekend off from WWE to attend the wedding as well. Beulah McGillicutty's first job in wrestling was the storyline sister of the late Brian Pillman for Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling promotion out of Canada. She later worked with Tommy in ECW and the two have been dating ever since then.

The Undertaker will be taking time off from WWE following the UK-only pay-per view, Rebellion. Rebellion takes place a few weeks after next Sunday's No Mercy pay-per view, in which many believe Undertaker will further aggrivate his elbow injury in the Hell in a Cell match with Brock Lesnar.

MTV Makes a Huge Mistake on Tough Enough, The World

- Today's New York Times has a column on The World, WWE's Times Square nightclub. "The surest cure for the ailment is to pass an hour at The World," states the article. "Wandering in, you are reminded just how provincial this town is, and how the World's television-saturated bar may be the most diverse establishment in Times Square. If you weren't raised here, the unpretentious crowd makes you long for home. The place attracts its share of patrons who drink beer straight from the pitcher and order dinner by saying things like, 'I'll take the cheeseburger,' with an unprintable adjective modifying the burger." It then goes on to transcribe conversations among patrons regarding world events.

- On an interesting note, WWE aired the second of a pair of Tough Enough re-runs today, the interesting part about it is, none of it was edited. There were cuss words everywhere. Obviously a mistake on the part of MTV. The new season of Tough Enough debuts this Thursday night at 10 PM.

Another Wrestling Lawsuit, WWE Mess-Up; & More

- The following news bits were sent in via email. You can do the same by clicking above.

- I found this info on OWOW.com and thought it was interesting news. It was in there internet rumors section, so take it for what it is. It is about Missy Hyatt being on Judge Mathis. Former valet Missy Hyatt and former manager Bill Alfonso will settle an ongoing case they have on an upcoming episode of Judge Mathis. This case has to do with Alfonso borrowing Missy's Porsche, crashing it, and not having the money to pay for the insurance deductible. Now, from my perspective, that is bogus!!! I got shall we say, not the most positive vibes from him the one time we met, and he was fired from the independent promotion I was working then. Missy Hyatt and Bill Alfonso have been flown to Chicago to tape the show. All people who appear on the show are paid $100. The real advantage of appearing on a court show like Mathis, however, is that the court pays the losers fee. So, if Alfonso is found guilty and has to pay Hyatt a fee, the court pays it. Not to mention being on TV, and the publicity surrounding that. There is no word yet on an exact airdate.

- I was checking out wwe.com an I went to the live events to see where WWE was going, and I came across something I found unusual. The two events for this weekend (Saturday at Rochester, New York and Sunday at Buffalo, New York) and I noticed that there are a few Smackdown! Superstars on the Raw brand events. I found this odd because there is also a Smackdown! brand event those same days. The Smackdown! superstars are Kurt Angle who will fight Kane in an Interpromotional Match, and Billy and Chuck who will fight Rosey and Jamal in another Inter promotional Match. Batista is also there fighting Justin Credible, although I do not know if he has already jumped yet or not, I may have missed it. I just thought I would let you know about that it may mean something or it may be for something like the Smackdown! your vote thing.

- I was at my local gym a few days ago in Minnesota, and Molly was wrestling with some guy. He did a bunch of sweet high flying moves and stuff. Afterwards, he was resting in the ring, and Molly was signing autographs and stuff, and I walked over to the guy and talked to him. His name is Jake, he's Molly's boyfriend, and he works with the writing team in the WWE. He seemed really cool. Both he and Molly are from Minnesota, and were here during some break time.

Hulk Hogan Possibly Returning Tonight On RAW

There is a chance, not a great one, but a chance nonetheless that Hulk Hogan will make his WWE return to tonight's RAW.

Tonight, in Montreal, a city that Hogan made his babyface return to WWE after WrestleMania, speculation is persisting that Hogan will show up on a WWE show for the first time since jobbing to Brock Lesnar on SmackDown! a few months ago.

Many point to the fact that Hogan's autobiography is set to be released in a few months as evidence to the fact that he would be pushing for a return, something WWE wouldn't be against at this time. Hogan is said to have shown interest in returning, any many feel that the pieces could fall into place on tonight's show.

You can also look to the official WWE.com RAW preview, pointing out Hogan's memorable appearance on the last RAW held in Montreal, as even more proof that there is a possibility.

While nothing is confirmed at this point, it wouldn't shock many if Hogan showed up on RAW tonight.
