Update on Nash/WWF negotiations, XWF postpones shows, and more Submitted by William Martinez on Monday, December 31, 2001 at 1:18 AM EST
According to AudioWrestling.com, any previously scheduled radio interviews with Kevin Nash require clearance from the WWF before the interview can take place. This doesn't officially mean that Kevin Nash is under WWF contract but it does show that they are, at the very least, involved in some of his personal decisions.
The XWF has announced that they are postponing their upcoming house shows in Port Huron, Battle Creek and Toledo. The reason the promotion is giving for the postponing of the shows is that as a stipulation for their negotiations for their television deal, the television company, which was not named, asked the promotion not to use any footage for their "Countdown to the XWF" informercial. The promotion originally announced the house shows to see how successful informercials could be to sell tickets. Since the company cannot run the informercial, they decided to postpone the shows. However, the XWF did state that they will announce new dates for the shows soon.
For fans in the United Kingdom, Sky may pick up the rights to the four WWF pay-per-views and Sunday Night Heat that Channel 4 dropped.
Negotiations between Kevin Nash and the WWF are going very well and should be finalized within the next few days. Reportedly, there are no signs of any roadblocks getting in the way of the deal. Nash could debut as early as the January 7th Raw although there have been conflicting reports on whether or not the debut will take place then.
