-WWE hat nun Nikita aus ihrem Develovment Contract entlassen.Das ganze vollzog sich schon letzte Woche bei OVW.Nikita gab nie ihr WWE Debut,eigentlich verpflichtete die WWE Nikita um sie in den Storylines als Vince Mc Mahon`s Tochter einzubauen.
-Es ist zwar noch nicht offiziell,allerdings geht man davon aus das auch Smackdown ein 4 Way Tag Team Title Match bekommen wird zwischen: Rikishi & Scotty Too Hotty vs The APA vs The Bashams vs The World’s Greatest Tag Team.So haette man dann fast alle Wrestler bei Wrestlemania auf die Card bekommen.
-Die WWE hat die Houseshow am 26.03.04 in Denver gecancelt.Offizieller Grund “scheduling conflict”.Allerdings fragt man sich dann wieso der Event ueberhaupt gebookt wurde?
-Die WWE hofft das sie mit Wrestlemania XX ueber 1 Millionen PPV kaeufer erreichen werden.Schliesslich hat man Wrestlemania XX bisher gehyped wie sellten eine Wrestlemania zuvor.Trotzdem duerfte es extrem schwierig werden 1 Millionen PPV buys zu bekommen.
-Wie schon einige mitbekommen haben duerften wird Pete Rose vor Wrestlemania XX bei der Hall of Fame Ceremony in die WWE Hall of Fame aufgenommen.Die WWE erhoffte sich dadurch natuerlich nur Puplicity.Diese allerdings fiel wenn sie vorhanden war,vorrallem negativ aus.So warf man der WWE nur Puplicity "geilheit" vor.Bei der Best Damn Sports Show Period meinte Tom Arnold das Pete ja in bester Gesellschaft waere mit denn anderen Steroidtypen.Als anmerkung sei gesagt Pete Rose nahm in seiner aktiven zeit als Baseballer Steroide und flog aus der NFL,seither wird Pete Rose auch gemieden,und er wurde bis heute nicht in die Baseball Hall of Fame aufgenommen.
Folgende Wrestler werden am 13 Maerz neben Pete Rose in die WWE Hall of Fame aufgenommen werden: Jesse Ventura,Bobby "The Brain" Heenan,Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Sgt. Slaughter,Superstar Billy Graham, Tito Santana, Don Muraco, Harley Race, Junkyard Dog und Big John Studd.
