    - Apparently, Perry Saturn has been living his gimmick backstage at WWF events in the fact that he is carrying his mop with him around. Others wrestlers are seemingly split over whether Saturn is just goofing around of if he wants everyone to think he actually is crazy.

    - Booker T has been very "excited" backstage since joining the WWF and is really enjoying his time in the "big time". Booker is coming off as very confident in himself, but not cocky.

    - The Heat replay did a 0.9, which is down from last week's 1.2. However, it should be noted that this week's Heat was the Invasion preview show and due to the fact that the replay occured after the pay-per-view, a lower rating should be expected.

    - It appears that the WWF upper card talent were watching the Rob Van Dam/Jeff Hardy match at Invasion very closely so as not to get shown up, similar to what Hulk Hogan and company were doing in WCW. In a related note, backstage politics are said to be heating up lately as well.

    - WWF management has been keeping a close eye on Rob Van Dam. Officials are targeting anyone who came in with a reputation after being burned by Buff Bagwell. Thus far, RVD has been a model employee and has made a good impression backstage.
