• Trivia Answer: Grand Forks, North Dakota

COMMENTS: I can't believe that Austin got tossed off a bridge! Yes, the Brood left the Ministry! The 3 were perfect as a trio and shouldn't of been lackeys of the Ministry in the first place, now lets get some more gold around these guys like giving Gangrel or Edge the European Title and Christian the Light Heavyweight Title. The WWF just recently let off a lot of employees: Disciples of Apocalypse, The Blue Meanie(explaining his absense tonight), Jim Cornette, Golga, Fatu, Public Enemy. And here's the list of good talent they fired: "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, The Legion of Doom, and "Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman. Gillberg was rumored to be let off, but he wasn't. The was ok, they could've did better on the matches though, and the show gets an A-. C ya next week.
