Backstage Invasion notes, Updates on Spike and Triple H, and more Submitted by Calvin Martin on Monday, July 23, 2001 at 1:48 AM EST
Ellis Burks from the Cleveland Indians was in attendance at Invasion with his son.
Spike Dudley was backstage at Invasion moving around alot better than he was a few weeks ago. Spike has a doctors appointment on August 3 and hopes to be cleared soon after to return to the ring.
WWF.com has an article up about the Nick Patrick vs Earl Hebner match with quotes from both of them as well as quotes from Ellis Burks, Spike Dudley, and Perry Saturn. You can read it by clicking HERE.
WWF.com has an interview up with Triple H. Triple H says he is not on crutches anymore. He has lost 25 pounds since his injury but gained about 7 of it back so far. The reason Triple H has been backstage alot since his injury is because he has been playing the role of a road agent by giving people advice and laying things out for them. The doctors have told him that he is gonna have to stop coming to TV's because it is slowing down his rehab. Triple H also made an obvious indirect comment about Chyna. WWF.com asked him if it's true that he is "married to the busines". Triple H said, "Yeah, I think that'd be pretty accurate. I'm sure some of the people that have been in my life in the past would say that very bitterly. And I can't say that they're wrong." You can read the entire interview by clicking HERE.
The reason Mick Foley was the referee of the "referees match" is because since he has been in all three federations, WWF felt he was qualified, atleast in the fans' eyes, to "call it down the middle". Foley received the call for the job on Thursday. It had been about a month since Foley was backstage at a WWF event. http://www.wwf.com/news/headlines/1069639
WCW.com has gotten a a new look already. However, they still have Lance Storm, and Mike Awesome as part of WCW. Also, Chavo Guerrero's name is STILL not on the list of stars either. Another interesting tidbit is that they have a TV section. When clicked it says NOT FOUND, the url is http://www.wcw.com/tv/nitro/index.html. This will obviously be for WCW Nitro WHENEVER it begins, but why would wcw.com ALREADY have this link up?

I live in Detroit and the radio station WRIF is going to run an advance ticket sale promotion starting next Wednesday for WWF Smackdown on August 28. Tickets normally go on sale next Saturday. Does any know how the promotion is running? I have been trying to get information about it but haven't been very successful. Email me at expresso83@aol.com with any info you can give me.
