Bradshaw has been fired!!! Thats a bad thing!
I think that X-Pac has been fired. Im not sure though.
Did you know that Taker was involved in the fight???
Latest news is that Austin has threatened to quit. Thats a very bad thing.
Goldberg might be joining the WWE too out of the money spare from Scott Hall an Kurt Hennig.

Confidential is the equivilant of Excess, and will be on Sky!
Well, the more shows on Sky 1, the better.
Most of them shows bar the equivelant of excess will probably be shown on Sky one as the sports channels do not have enough time for them. They should scrap a few anyway, Livewire was enough on it's own.
Sounds good. Even more air time for wrestlers.
