ADMINISTRIVIA: I haven't been checking my sources for the last few weeks, so none of this is really "new" news, but I don't think I've seen it posted yet. I'll be keeping opinion out of the "Hack Notes" as much as possible. I will be cross-posting Hack Notes to RSPW and RSPWI. I will then follow up to the copy that went to RSPW, adding in my comments. Ric Flair is angry at Eric Bischoff for the way he treated Marc Mero and for not getting him to re-sign with WCW (this was (obviously) about a month ago). WCW liked what they saw when Kid Flash had his tryout with WCW. He has been made an offer (this was a few weeks back; haven't heard if he accepted the offer or not). Mr J.L. (Jerry Lynn) has been made an offer by WCW. This was about four days ago. No word on whether he has accepted the terms or if he is going to try to negotiate some changes in it. The French Connection should make their debut on Monday Nitro in July, when they are no longer under contract with the WWF. Sorry with the spareness of this edition. I'll try to bring it back up to the level you're used to by next week. As always, the info in this post comes from various sources, hotlines, and newsletters.
