    - In a recent radio interview, MECW owner/promoter denied the allegations that Buff Bagwell refused to job to Steve Corino at MECW's inaugural show. Collins states that the reports were started by the same person who stated that Barry Windham didn't want to wrestle and that Tracy Smothers was upset that he wasn't booked to compete. Collins denies all three reports.

    - MECW will be on television in 60 days.

    - The official MECW website is under construction.

    - Curt Hennig, Public Enemy and The Sandman are all officially under contract to MECW while negotiations with Barry Windham, Mike Rotunda, Dr. Death Steve Williams and The Road Warriors, among others, are underway.

    - For those wondering, just because Rey Mysterio Jr.'s website links to WCW.com does not mean he is confirmed to sign with WWFE. KevinNash.com also links to WCW.com and we all know that he won't be headed to WWF any time soon, if at all.
