Undertaker+update++
? The Undertaker continues to take time off from the World
Wrestling Federation as he heels a nagging groin injury and
a abdrominal strain. He had been working injured for the entire
summer and asked for time too heal his injuries but was not
given time off due to a program with Paul Wight. For most of
August and September the Undertaker did not work in the
ring but rather did interviews and commentary when needed.
He was booked to work the September Unforgiven pay per
view but management replaced him with Davey Boy Smith
a week before the pay per view and gave him the time off. Dave
Meltzer reports that the WWF had hoped he would be able
to make a in-ring return at Survivor Series on November 14th
but plans are now for him to start appearing on television
after the pay per view and return to active competition in
time for the Armaggedon pay per view on December 12th.
WWF+gates+and+attendance+figures+
? World Wrestling Federation gate and attendance figures are
provided by Dave Meltzer.
10/12/99 Birmingham, AL 10,042 for $298,618
10/17/99 Cleveland, OH 17,430 for $478,156
10/18/99 Columbus, OH 10,843 for $312,898
Taz/Kurt+Angles+to+do+vignettes++
? Taz and Kurt Angle are both going to be filming vignettes to
hype their debuts with the company in the next few weeks as both
are reported by Dave Meltzer to begin working with the company
by the beginning of next year.
Kurt Angle has been working in Power Pro Wrestling and has held
the groups title on two occasions. Angle is touring with the World
Wrestling Federation as he has been working dark matches before
each set of tapings. He has been compared to a 70's style babyface
while many opinions on him range from great to poor. Angle appeared
on WWF television in March at a live edition of Sunday Night Heat
when he attacked Tiger Ali Singh as a fan when Singh made derogatory
statements about the United States.
Taz remains with Extreme Championship Wrestling until the end of
the year. He has been working television tapings with the company
and will be at the November to Remember. Its expected that Taz will
put over Rob Van Dam in a clean finish as he has been doing with
Sabu in recent months since his decision to sign with the WWF.

Nitro+confusion+reigned+on+Monday+
? Dave Meltzer reports that confusion reigned during
Monday Nitro as Vince Russo and Ed Ferrera booked
Monday Nitro for the first time. Many were not aware
of changes in the booking plans until the show was in
broadcast and others were not able to get clarification
on if they were too play heel or face before they went
out.
Ric Flair was one of the workers that was not sure about
his role. Flair has been packaged in recent weeks as a
face but was not sure if he was supposed to play heel for
a face Filthy Animals stable. Kidman, Konnan, Rey Mysterio
and Eddie Guerrero were under the assumption that they
were to play face but the Philadelphia, PA crowd sided
with Flair in the 4 on 1 attack.
Backstage is also continuing to be worked by Hogan as
he did not attend Nitro last Monday and the company has
for the most part dropped the main event from being
mentioned. Dave Meltzer reports that WCW Live has been
asked to work on their radio show that Hogan is going to
leave the company due to the influence of Vince Russo.
Many workers are not sure if Hogan will be at tonights
Halloween Havoc pay per view or if he does show, how the
match will go. Hogan has many times along with Eric Bischoff
attempted to work wrestlers backstage in the style that the
late Brian Pillman did. Brian Pillman worked so many in the
company though that he ended up being released when the
angle turned into reality.

Returns+mark+ECW+Arena+show+
? Extreme Championship Wrestling returned to the ECW Arena
for the first time since August 28th in what will be remembered
as a night that two champions returned to the company as Mikey
Whipwreck worked the nights first match in a loss to ECW
champion Mike Awesome and then during the main event, the
man most associated with ECW, The Sandman returned to make
the save for Tommy Dreamer.
The arena show along with TNN tapings the night before in
Poughkeepsie, New York rounded out television broadcasts
leading into the November to Remember pay per view in Buffalo,
New York.
Its not known if Mikey Whipwreck will be a part of the company
long term or if his appearance was a one time appearance as Paul
Heyman told Dave Meltzer and Wade Keller that he had no long
term interest in Whipwreck after he was released from World
Championship Wrestling in late summer.
Vic Grimes was backstage at the show but did not appear in front
of cameras. Rumors have been circulating that he would end up in
ECW to work with the company until he was set to go full time with
the World Wrestling Federation, Grimes has been working with the
Memphis based Power Pro Wrestling for the past year and has been
a part of the company up until recently.
Results from the show were:
Mike Awesome p. Mikey Whipwreck with the Awesome Splash
Nova p. Chris Candido with the Kryptonite Crunch
Super Crazy d. LSD, Guido with a Sitdown powerbomb
Simon Diamond vs. Jazz NC after Dick gave Jazz a Michinoku Driver
