That's this. :-)

| 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).

I took this as good news (that Flair would stand up for someone who
wasn't treated very well).  But then again, I took it as good news
that Hogan would be downgraded if Uncensored didn't do well.  Much to
my chagrin, Uncensored was the most-watched WCW PPV in a year (since
UnCensored 1995).  Doh!

| 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).

FWIW, I haven't seen KF wrestle yet.  I've just been waiting in
anticipation of the 42nd person to be tagged with the label "The Next
Lightning Kid".

| 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.

...and I gave up going to see (possibly) his last indie card due to
"other commitments".
 
| The French Connection should make their debut on Monday Nitro in July, 
| when they are no longer under contract with the WWF.

Speaking of people defecting from WWF to WCW, what if they teamed
Kevin "Diesel" Nash up with Chris Benoit (not that WCW is hurting for
tag teams, though) and their finisher can be Benoit doing a moonsault
off of Diesel's shoulders.  Always thinking up new finishers...

| 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.
