Dave Meltzer is reporting that Jerry Lawler is back with the WWF and an angle with him is going to beging very soon. On the other hand, ProWrestlingTorch.com reports they have contacted Lawler and Lawler told them he has not talked with the WWF recently. More info will be passed on as we learn it. Jason Barrett sent this in This past week on the No Holds Barred radio show, WWF Superstar Al Snow joined the program and shared his thoughts on Tough Enough, King Of The Ring, Steve Blackman, WCW, Running for commissioner and a whole lot more. Below is a brief transcript of the interview. Jason: Al, how excited are you right now knowing that your the first official guest on No Holds Barred on ESPN Radio. Al: To be quite frank with you Jason, I am so excited right now that my genitalia is pulling right up into my body. SA: Put yourself in the shoes of a tough enough contestant, what would you have done to impress WWF officials in order to get that once in a lifetime WWF contract? Al: I would have probably strutted into the restaurant naked, lathered myself in a mixture of baby oil and kerosene and then lit myself on fire. Jason: You ran for commissioner prior to WrestleMania and came up a little bit short. Do you feel the state of Florida was involved to some extent? Al: Yeah and much like Joel Lieberman and another Al who got shafted, I think we need to demand a recount. I mean common guys, the state of Florida, what are they doing down there? Jason: On the topic of Steve Blackman, will he ever find a personality? Al: Only if he tracks it and kills it. SA: Did you teach him any of those dance steps he was using a few weeks ago? Al: Yeah. I'm surprised nobody hit the ring and tried to hold his tongue down. He looked like he was having a seizure. Talk about giving white people a bad name. He set our entire race back a couple of centuries as far as rhythm and harmony are concerned. Jason: In your eyes, is the WCW being owned by the WWF good or bad for business? Al: It's good and bad for business. Competition is the very heart and soul of american business. Part of the big boom we enjoyed was from the competition we had between the WWF and WCW. It is my understanding that they plan to develop WCW to stand on it's own 2 legs and to be a competitor of the WWF. SA: Al if you're a betting man and we hope that you are, who do you put your money on in the King Of The Ring tournament? Al: Kurt Angle. Jason: They've got to give him the strap back Al. Al: Oh man, they've got to. Jason: It's killing me. Al: It's tearing me up inside too. Right now I'm thinking about going into the bathroom and hanging myself in the junker. Jason: On the topic of Tough Enough, is Thursday at 10pm going to be the permanent time slot? Al: Every Thursday at 10pm is when the show will air, immediately following UPN's Smackdown. Jason: If the rest of the series is anything like the first episode then I'm sure the show will succeed. Al: Believe me, you guys haven't seen anything yet. Just from the stuff I know happened you guys will be very entertained as the week's go on. The full interview with Al Snow will be available later this week in audio for your listening pleasure on http://www.noholdsbarredwrestling.com The No Holds Barred radio show airs every Saturday morning on 1340-1390 ESPN Radio in Poughkeepsie, NY and is hosted by Jason Barrett and SA Miller. Samir Nurmohamed sent this in TORONTO -- This past week on Live Audio Wrestling, Dan Lovranski conducted an exclusive one-on-one interview with former ECW Champion and two-time WWF Hardcore Champion, Rhyno. In the interview, Rhyno showed a completely different side of himself, as he discussed several issues with Lovranski. Here's what the "Man Beast" had to say: » Rhyno said that the closure of ECW did not hit him so hard since it had been rumoured for a long time. » He went on to say that the ECW Heavyweight Title is locked up safely at his brother's house. » As far as the WWF goes, Rhyno emphasized that its a real treat to be part of the company. He said that the biggest difference between ECW and the WWF is the size of the company. » Rhyno talked about Paul Heyman and said that he has really help him make the transition from ECW to the WWF a lot easier. Rhyno tells Lovranski that Heyman knows the "Rhyno" character better than anyone else, which has brought out the strong points in Rhyno. » Rhyno clarifies that the reason why they changed the spelling for his name was for merchandise and legal reasons. » Rhyno talked about working with Edge and Christian and he said that you will probably always see the three of them helping each other out in the future. He said that he even stays at Edge's house in Tampa, when ever they go to Florida. Rhyno said that the three of them work together in the ring very well, and they have a close relationship with each other. » He said that he didn't expect to get a big push when he entered the WWF. Rhyno emphasized that he is very greatful for what he has done so far in the WWF. » Rhyno said that he is the last to find out about everything, so he does not know who will win WWF King of the Ring. He expressed that it would be an honour for him to win wrestling's biggest tournament, and thinks that King of the Ring elevates many wrestlers. » Rhyno said that it was very hard to get used to being the small guy in the WWF. He emphasized that he was probably the biggest guy in ECW, and when wrestling guys like the Big Show and Kane, there is not much you can do against them. He tells Lovranski that the Big Show's "monkey paws" hurt when he stings you with his right hands. » He said that when facing opponents, he prefers being a heel over a babyface. » Lastly, Rhyno puts over the fact that he would love to see Goldberg in the WWF to face Austin in a WWF ring. Also, Rhyno emphasized that he would love to face Goldberg as well. He tells Lovranski that a recent magazine said that the "Gore" is more powerful than the "Spear" since Rhyno has a lower center of gravity. Thanks for Reading, Samir Nurmohamed
