From the news:
The following is from WWF.com:
Effective Sunday, October 3 at 9:45 p.m. ET, Vince Russo, one of the creative writers, will no longer be with the World Wrestling Federation. Russo abruptly resigned over the phone and will now be working for WCW.
I basically can't believe this. This is definitely one of the most surprising stories in a while. WWF Booker/Magazine editor Vince Russo has quit the WWF and signed with WCW. This could very well be a huge turning point in the world of wrestling. More on this story as it becomes available.
Boy, was Triple A right!

I looked forward to AAA's thoughts.
Some "Richard Gray" did the news in 2001. Not bad writing at all.

Wow, this really takes me back. I can't believe I've been coming to this website for over 12+ years. I actually can vaguely remember reading a lot of these news stories/posts originally. Good times.

From WWF.com:Due to a contract dispute between J.R. and Jeff, Jeff Jarrett will be leaving the World Wrestling Federation for World Championship Wrestling. Although his contract with the WWF expires this Saturday, he will be at No Mercy on Sunday, which is a testament to the kind of human being Jeff Jarrett is. The WWF hopes to do business with Jeff again in the future.
lol
I like how WWF gave more detailed explanations into the release of a roster member back then. NO FUTURE ENDEAVOURS!

Scarier still than the choices is who is in second place behind HHH: Bossman! He beats The Outsiders by 3%.

A teacher at my middle school told me about this website when I was in 6th or 7th grade. Back in the angelfire days. OG as fuck.

With everyone but the World Wrestling Federation itself confirming the signing of former ECW Champion, Justin Credible to a 3-year deal, much speculation has arisen as to what his role in the Federation will be. It should also be noted that with Credible being good friends of both Triple H and X-Pac, his role in the company will more than likely be more significant than that of Tazz or Raven who came from Extreme Championship Wrestling as well. With that said, Credible could very well return to the company alongside X-Pac, who is set to return to a WWF House Show on February 2nd. Not only will that give Credible an immediate role in the company, it'll help X-Pac get back on track quickly. A second scenario would put him up against other former ECW competitors such as Tazz, Raven, The Dudleys, or even Saturn to name a few. And yet another possibility that exists is that Credible could be the man who Vince McMahon met in the limousine on the Smackdown prior to the Royal Rumble. It was never officially revealed who McMahon's special guest was, but it could be argued that it was either Haku or The Big Show. At any rate, Justin Credible has several places in which he can fit in the World Wrestling Federation.
How wrong we were.

At least the tradition of random "Click Here" links at the end of news posts hasn't changed after over a decade later.
Dial up internet was horrible, that EEEEEEURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAARRRRRRR noise at the start....
One of my first "favorited" websites. Man, I feel old now.
I'm also stoked that the link to 5StarWrestling still works. I used to write a column for them (after Triple A chose not to give me a "job" when I made the top 10 of his columnist search back in 2000). Wish that still existed somewhere.

The dude that wrote this column was pretty kewl.
"Jarrett still sucks and he ain't winning the strap. I'll show you fucking stroke you talentless moron. Just because you were beginning to get over in the WWF doesn't mean you're any more talented than you were (or weren't).
On the subject of insulting people I HATE THE FILTHY FUCKING ANIMALS! They're getting far too much air time, maybe that'll decrease now Gey Rey is injured.
Hmmm, don't know what ame over me then, I guess I don't like watching things that BORE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME!
Sting is a face again. Big surprise there. This must be the most failed heel turn attempt I've ever seen with someone the status Sting has. Absolutely pathetic. At least he's shed this dark soul image now, that was getting old."
