Hulk Hogan is rumored to own the new XWF promotion. Some sources believe that he doesn't own it, and that his ownership of the company is a storyline. On the Bubba The Love Sponge show this morning he shed light on the following: He'll have Kevin Sullivan booking alongside himself. His upcoming shows will be on November 13th and 14th, and he has announced that Curt Hennig, Vampiro, The Nasty Boys, Josh (from Tough Enough, btw, read on to see where another Tough Enough student will show up), Disorderly Conduct (the WCW job team), The Shane Twins, and The Harris Brothers. He also noted that Sting and Scott Hall may possibly participate. He wants to have a Hogan/Sting PPV main event. This promotion already looks better than MECW...Rhyno was revealed to be injured by Jim Ross on a radio interview. He didn't specify what the injury is though...World Wrestling All-Stars ran their first ever PPV named "Inception." A few big names took part in this event, such as Jerry Lawler and Jeff Jarrett. Here are the results.

Greg, who was many people's favorite to win the male section of the Tough Enough competition will be debuting for Combat Zone Wrestling. He will be wrestling his first match for the promotion on October 27 vs. one half of the Rachies Danny Rose...Jim Ross has released his weekly Ross Report on WWF.com. Here are some notes. Scotty Too Hotty will be examined for his neck problems, Taka Michinoku will be having shoulder surgery, he said that the Weakest Link taping went well. For the spoilers of the Weakest link, see the next rant. He announced that staff will be going to Manchester England for the Rebellion PPV. He also noted that staff was impressed with the OVW tandem of The Minnesota Stretching Crew, Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin. He noted also that he will be at a TV taping for Heartland. Steve Austin had an MRI on his lower back which was negative. He said that several international tours are being planned for 2002. My prediction is that they will definitely be in Germany. He also announced that Wrestlemania tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster on November 3rd, the same day that Terri Runnels is scheduled to be married again. If you want to read the Ross Report in it's entrirety, be sure to visit The Ross Report.

He reportedly landed right on his head (think of the Chris Benoit/Sabu footage from ECW) and will probably never be the same again. Also, Tatsutoshi Goto was seriously injured when he hit head on the concrete on the outside of the ring. Goto was wrestling for New Japan and has regained consciousness and some feeling in his limbs. May all wrestling fans' prayers be with these two Japanese superstars. For the jpg of Goto being worked on by paramedics, click here.
