    Submitted by William Martinez on Friday, June 28, 2002 at 11:54 AM EST

  • According to an article in The Calgary Sun, Bret Hart was able to be treated by EMS via his cellphone after his bicycle accident on Monday that resulted in a stroke on the left side of his brain. The article states that doctors believe Hart can make a full recovery but it will take several weeks of physical therapy. Hart will remain in hospital for at least three more weeks.

  • The overnight Smackdown rating came in at a 4.6 (8 share) which places UPN in fourth place among the networks for the evening. Look for the final rating later today.

  • A segment featuring announcer Mark Loyd where he toured the trailer of Jamie Noble and Nidia was cut from last night's Smackdown due to time constrictions. No word on whether or not the segment will air in the future.

  • Reportedly, there are no greater plans for Raven at this time than to leave him as a Heat wrestler meaning, currently, this angle of wrestlers involved in Loser Leaves Raw matches will not result in the return of The Flock.

  • Despite Ric Flair not being used on Raw Monday, he remains in WWE's current plans and is not at odds with management or anything like that.

  • WWE.com has opened the official WWE Vengeance site at www.wwevengeance.com. The site features a page for announced matches (of which there are none yet), information on how to order the event, a chat and downloads. Interesting to note that they have changed the official poster for the event as it now features Edge as opposed to Steve Austin.
