Stu Hart biography, XWF notes, WM ticket info, Kidman injured, more Submitted by William Martinez on Thursday, October 25, 2001 at 6:06 PM EST
Here are more notes on the XWF from Hulk Hogan's appearance on the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show this morning:
> Hogan will be booking with Kevin Sullivan.
> Scheduled for the Nov. 13-14 shows are Vampiro, Curt Hennig, The Nasty Boyz, Tough Enough's Josh, Disorderly Conduct, The Shane Twins and the Harris Brothers. Scott Hall and Sting are also possibilities.
> The promotion would like a Hulk Hogan vs. Sting main event for their first pay-per-view.
Keep in mind that everything Hulk Hogan says on his appearances on the radio show should be taken with a grain of salt.

Billy Kidman reportedly reinjured his knee during his match with Tajiri on Raw. There is no word yet on if he will miss any action.
As we reported yesterday, Hayabusa will be undergoing tests over the next several days to determine the extent of his spinal injury. Doctors are afraid that he will never lead a normal life again.
