The Outsiders have apparently halted negotiations with the WWF. The dilemma is said to be Vince's downside guarantee being too low for the duo. This does not mean that WWF and The Outsiders Hall and Nash will not renegotiate though...Mick Foley and Vince McMahon's disagreements may be shoots. According to sources closer to the situation than I am, Foley has had many disagreements with the WWF's direction of late, and has made those disagreements known. This seems like another case of McMahon making someone into a superstar, and the superstar repays him by trying to play hardball with him. They seem to always forget that Vince has great pitch selection...Joanie "Chyna" Laurer was on Howard Stern this morning. I listened to it live (Chyna shot on Howard calling him a pig) and it was pretty interesting. Here is the analysis of the interview.
-She was insulted because Stern said that he believed she was manly.
-When asked about her voice, she said that she had a larynx injury.
-After being called a homo by Joanie, Howard offered to take her into the bathroom and prove that he wasn't, and prove that she was a woman.
-Howard asked her about HHH and Stephanie, and she obviously got emotional. She said that Triple H (or Paul as she called him, as in Jean Paul) was trying Stephanie's pie when he had cake at home, and wishes that he would have been honest. She also said that Stephanie disappointed her with her unprofessionalism, but she also added that he has to play a kiss-ass. Isn't it ironic that Triple H and William Regal are good friends?
-Chyna then plugged her appearances and her website Body By Joanie.com. She also said that she was looking for a good man, so all the single guys out there need to get to it.
