The other side of Professional Wrestling news

3/2/99

- Steven Regal will return to WWF (again) in about a month with a gimmick closer to his snooty English lord character in WCW.

- Who will be the next victim/inductee into the Ministry of Darkness?  Look for the Big Boss Man to take a wicked beating in his Hell in a Cell match with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, and join the Ministry on RAW the following night.

2/26/99

- Happy days are here again!  According to WWF.com, Good ol' JR will be back at the announcers table on the next RAW on March 1!  Now Michael Cole can go back to what he does best: being ignored by wrestlers backstage.

- The teddy bear incident on RAW last week will apparently lead to a story angle that has the Ministry kidnapping Vince McMahon's daughter, Stephanie.  I've heard that Stephanie's not a little kid, so the teddy bear was mostly symbolic, and I really hope this is true.  I would hate to see them pull a young kid into that kid of storyline, considering how kids are abducted every day.  That would be in extremely bad taste.

2/23/99

- Look for Chris Jericho to be dumping Ralphus soon.

- Bart Gunn Vs. Butterbean in a Brawl For All match looks like a sure thing for Wrestlemania 15.  It was supposed to happen sooner, but Butterbean got a bit riled up after his match with Marc Mero some months back.  Apparently, Mero was supposed to hit Butterbean with a prop chair designed to fall apart, but accidently hit him with a REAL chair instead, and Mr. Bean was none too pleased.

- Local radio ads have said that Steve Austin will face Gillberg on the March 1st RAW.   This will obviously be intended to make fun of Goldberg's recent challenge to Austin.
