- Expect Kenny Dykstra to be in line for a slow push on SmackDown. The feeling is that Dykstra has a lot of talent but still needs some time to develop as a superstar in the company. While he was transferred brands to make a bigger impact, do not expect to see the push happen overnight.
- The reason that Bob Holly was moved from ECW to SmackDown was because of backstage heat with ECW writer Dave Lagana. Holly stayed on with the brand for months after injuring his elbow and was told he would receive a big push on the brand if he held out until WrestleMania. Holly stayed the course but never received his push, which upset him.
- Vince McMahon mad the decision to move the Major Brothers from ECW to SmackDown because he changed his mind on the ECW Tag Titles. McMahon now feels that there are too many title belts in the company and is against adding new ones. With that being said, there was no good spot for the Major Brothers to fill on the brand, prompting their switch.
- As we have been reporting for months, William Regal requested his move from SmackDown to RAW to receive a singles push. While it is not for sure, Triple H probably had something to do with the request being granted seeing as Regal and Triple H are friends (they tagged together in Triple H’s early days in WCW). Regal’s partner David Taylor may end up as a casualty of this deal because there’s really no place for him on the SmackDown roster as a singles superstar.
- Johnny Nitro has the potential to be a top heel on ECW. However, it is not really certain if it’s possible to get a superstar over on the brand. With how ECW is taped it is clearly seen as the “C” brand of the company. Take Bob Holly for example. He never received a big push on SmackDown, but was sent to ECW to work with the top guys. Instead of fans seeing Holly as a top superstar, they saw him as one of the guys that was not good enough for RAW or SmackDown. Nitro will have to overcome that same problem.
- Many have wondered why WWE decided to send ECW Original Sandman to RAW. The reason is because he will become more of a Jim Duggan or Eugene character where he puts people over and will thrive off of the nostalgic feel about him because of his entrance. More than likely he will end up on Heat always losing to the up and coming superstars of the company.
- RAW will be live from Corpus Christi, Texas tomorrow and will be a special three-hour funeral edition for Vince McMahon.
Austin, Eric Bischoff, Jimmy Hart and Charles "Godfather" Wright have been confirmed for the show.
The show will be in comic nature to turn fans around on the whole "death" angle.
A memorial will be setup outside the lobby so WWE fans can give their personal eulogies to Vince. Expect parts of this to be televised.
