CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 - The house show in Green Bay drew about 2700 last night. [PWInsider.com] - Trish Stratus has been having numbness in her hand recently. She will be seeing a doctor about it soon. [PWInsider.com] - Training for Tough Enough started today. All eight competitors will appear at the Smackdown taping on Tuesday. It is expected that Tough Enough will take up a lot of time on Smackdown each week as they will have taped footage as well as live footage involving the participants. [WrestlingObserver.com] - The highest rated segment on Smackdown this week was a 3.4 for the Tough Enough segment. [PWTorch.com] - Hulk Hogan has been hinting that he wants to work a tag match with his daughter, Brooke, against Vince and Stephanie McMahon at an upcoming WrestleMania. Brooke apparently hates wrestling but might go along with the idea to promote her singing career. [PWTorch.com] - Vince McMahon missed RAW on Monday due to the Survivor Series press conference. With him gone, word is that the agents meeting was a mess and the RAW script didn't get finished until much later than usual. [PWTorch.com] - WWE's Smackdown house show in Minneapolis, Minn. last Monday drew almost 4000 fans with 3000 fans paid in advance. WWE was said to be very happy with that crowd, especially considering that game six of the ALCS and RAW were on at the same time. [PWTorch.com] - Many wrestlers attended Edge's wedding last week including The Hurricane and Christian. [PWTorch.com] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hopefully it isn't a neck injury with Trish. Do we really need anymore of those? The Hogans vs. McMahons? Hopefully that was just a joke that people took too seriously. Because, uh, who cares about Brook? And finally, congratulations to Edge. Lucky bitch...

Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Maybe if the wives/husbands aren't part of the business at all? Those marriages always seem alright. Well Benoit & Nancy Sullivan have been together for what seems forever and, judging from the Benoit DVD, are still going strong. So there are some notable exceptions. Haitch probably does whatever necessary to appease his wife, as his power position depends on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DeathBecomesYou Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Anyone else notice that the reports of backstage chaos only really started once John Laurinatis was put in charge?

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 I think "Business being down" is the cause for most of the "backstage chaos". Wrestlers are working more dates, but making less money. That tends to make folks unhappy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
