WWE Weekly Roundup – By Luke Constable
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2 May
* Kevin Nash's bicep injury is expected to heel sooner than first thought. Now that Nash is no longer wearing arm protection, he could be available to return in a months time.
* Some wrestlers within the WWF locker room have stated that the roster split, or brand extension, has created much less pressure and an easier schedule.
* Kevin Nash's injury is the sole reason behind the addition of the Big Show to the nWo. Nash, Scott Hall and X-Pac had an understanding that no new members would be added.
3 May
* Former WCW Champion Bill Goldberg negotiated a contract buyout with AOL/Time Warner making him officially a free agent. This would indicate that it's highly likely that he will be signing with the WWF soon.
6 May
* The WWF issued a press release stating that the company will now change it's name to WWE - World Wrestling Entertainment. The logo will now change ,and it can be best described as the original WWF logo with the 'F' dropped off. The press release can be read in full at TWO from the following link:

Inno’s Corner – By Inno
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So the WWE (still can’t get used to that) have decided to cut their losses and release Scott Hall after he was reportedly “wasted” for most of the European tour last week. You have to wonder about Scott Hall’s sanity - this was without a doubt his last chance to make it in the big time, all he had to do was stay sober. Having said that, sending him on a tour to Europe when there is drink freely available on the plane there and back probably isn’t the smartest decision ever taken...
But where does that leave the nWo? The active roster now consists of a greasy haired wannabe ninja who thinks he’s main event material, and an overweight Jolly Green Giant stand-in with a cheeseburger fixation. That sure makes me afraid of them...
Being serious for a moment, it’s a shame for Scott. He’s arguably one of the most talented in-ring performers never to have had a world title run (along with Mr. Perfect) and if nothing else, he’s sure to be offered a contract by one of the fledgling indy promotions, be it the XWF, WWA or Jerry Jarrett’s NWA. I hope he goes on to clean up totally and make a positive out of this situation, but Hall’s used up so many last chances, it’s unbelievable. Hopefully, we’ll get the chance to see the Razor’s Edge once again somewhere... but it doesn’t look good for him.
