The following comes off of the newswire. If using this news, please credit Wrestling Observer Online.
» The WWF is beginning to ban moves that would cause a wrestler to land on his or her head. It has been previously reported at DDTs and Tombstone Piledrivers were banned, but that statement isn't 100% true. They weren't banned completely; rather wrestlers were told to shy away from using them. Other moves that are going to be treated the same way are piledrivers, brainbusters, and other suplexes that would cause a person to land on their head. This doesn't mean that we will never see any of the moves again, it is just a precaution the WWF is taking to protect the safety of its wrestlers.
» Perry Saturn was told last week to change his finisher from a brainbuster to the flying elbow drop, because of this new safety precaution the WWF is implementing.
» The bump at last week's Smackdown! taping involving Rikishi splashing Val Venis off of the entry ramp was practiced several times before the show began, to ensure it was done correctly.
» At RAW in Rochester a few weeks ago, one of the Godfather's hos teased taking her top off during a match involving Edge, Christian, and Kurt Angle, which took the heat off of the match and devoted the crowd's attention to her. WWF officials were furious with this.
» Tori will continue to play the role of Stephanie McMahon's bodyguard, while Lita will continue to chase the Women's title. This may lead to the Hardyz and Road Dogg & X-Pac getting involved, setting up a feud between them.
