Reported by Logan on March 22:

For those wondering what happened to former Radical Perry Saturn since his release from the WWE, he has been working in Japan. He will be an instructor at Inoki's Los Angeles dojo for half of 2003 and the other half will be spent working for New Japan Pro Wrestling.

It's offical. Sid Vicious has announced his retirement from the world of professional wrestling. Vicious was put out of action at the WCW Sin PPV when he broke his leg in a very horrific fashion. The doctors have told Vicious that he would never regain full mobility of the injured leg. This will also prevent Vicious from ever working in the ring again. Vicious had numerous runs in the WWE, WCW, and ECW and held numerous championships, including the WCW title and the WWE Championship.


To update the story posted yesterday about Goldberg appearing on the cover of next month's WWE magazine, there is talk going around on if the image of the cover that was seen was doctored in any way. The cover was photographed by a digital camera while the magazine laid on the floor. While there are still no word for the WWE (naturally) to confirm or deny this magazine cover, it is generally believed to be authentic, since it would have taken someone a lot of work to set a hoax like this up

However, some sources inside the WWE and sources close to Goldberg have claimed that "Da Man" signed with World Wrestling Entertainment about two weeks ago and that they are setting his debut up for either Wrestlemania or on the weeks following that big event. As for what brand Goldberg will appear on, the early word is that he will appear on the Raw brand. This might be done to set up some instant fueds with guys like Triple H & "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. This is in no way confirmed and Goldberg could easily be switched to the Smackdown brand, especially considering that they are short two of their top stars now that Kurt Angle & Edge are out for one year with neck surgery.

The final numbers for Smackdown! are in. The show did a 2.7 broadcast rating with a 4 share. This is a one of the lowest ratings ever for Smackdown! but it can be blamed on most of the UPN affiliates which decided to air Iraq war coverage in many markets instead of the show.

Apparently, the WWE let Kevin Kelly go due to budget cutting. Kelly's depature was announced yesterday on Byte This!


According to sources, they are reporting that Goldberg did indeed sign with the WWE about one week ago. Of course, there is no offical confirmation by the WWE on this issue but there wouldn't be if they're trying to keep Goldberg's debut a suprise
