-RE: Kronik, J.R had the following to say: "Certainly the situation with Kronik just did not work out here. Bryan Clark will not be utilized any longer. Brian Adams will be sent to either Louisville or Cincinnati to work with some of the students on their TV shows. There are no plans to bring him back to RAW or SmackDown! at this time."

-Russ Haas, one of the WWF's developmental prospects suffered a heart attack and seizures early in the week. He developed some pain after competing on TV Sunday night and was in the emergency room on Monday morning. He is now out of the hospital and is at home, but his wrestling future is uncertain as more information from his cardiologist will be needed as to how much damage the heart attack caused.

-Shawn Stasiak saw a specialist on Monday, and the early indications from the radiologist are that if he has an athletic hernia, it is mild and probably will not require surgery. He will probably be out 3 or 4 weeks, but will know more next week.

-Billy Kidman has been released to return to work by his doctor, and he will be going to OVW on Monday for a week of in-ring conditioning just to get the ring rust off, and ready for a return to the WWF.

-Shelton Benjamin will go see Dr. Jim Andrews on Monday for a follow up on his surgically repaired elbow. He should be released for work on Monday.

-HHH's rehab is going very well. He is looking at getting in the ring to do some exercises probably next month, maybe November, but his return date looks to be around December.

-Jerry Lynn is about 2 months away from returning from knee surgery, as his rehab is going very well.

-Eric Angle will be going back to the doctors within the next few weeks. They're going to try to determine if he needs further surgery to repair a ligament in his arm.

-Kurt Angle's book seems to be doing very well, as pretty much everyone who has read it says it is a good read.

-J.R noted that Russ McCullough is continuing to improve, but still has a long way to go. He will be evaluated at some live events in October.

-J.R said that he will also be evaluating Randy Orton on 10/20. J.R said "This young man, a third-generation star, has got wonderful potential. He has every tool it takes to be successful."

-Regarding the Tough Enough winners, Nidia will be sent down to OVW in the next few weeks to train with Victoria, Paisley and Jazz. Maven will be sent down to HWA where he'll train under Les Thatcher and Dave Taylor.

-Torrie Wilson and Stacy Keibler did a photo shoot Wednesday in Stamford, CT for an upcoming edition of RAW Magazine.
