  • Reportedly, last night's XWF show drew a crowd between 2,000 and 3,000.

  • Vito was apparently upset at being booked to lose to Drezden at the show. During the match, he worked unusually stiff and threw a tantrum backstage after the match.

    On the WWF website, one of the Headline links has a flashback to Royal Rumble 96, it says

    Diesel dominates the Rumble

    Before finally being eliminated by HBK, Diesel dominated the 1996 Royal Rumble. Re-live it at RoyalRumble.com

    So it could be a coincidence or Kevin Nash has reached a deal an has to wait for his deadline on his TW contract, I think it's the latter.

    A number of readers, including LoP's own Turtle2hug also informed us of this.
