Bill Goldberg's In Ring Return Confirmed; Austin To Follow?
Thanks to Pwinsider.com for the following:
-Bill Goldberg will be returning to the ring very shortly at the Dreamstage Entertainment/ZERO-ONE joint event HUSTLE-3 at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan. This will be Goldberg's first appearance since he left the WWE after WMXX. There are talks to have Steve Austin on this card as well, but nothing has been confirmed at this time.
Kurt Angle To Have Neck Surgery - Out For Months:
Thanks to Pwinsider.com for the following:
-There are more details coming in concerning Kurt Angle's upcoming neck surgery. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Hae-Dong Jho in Pittsburgh, PA. Angle has been having severe pains in his back and is said to have lost feeling in one of his fingers. This surgery is expected to keep him out of the ring at least until late summer if not longer. There are hopes however, that Angle will be able to return to television in an on camera role before that.
The Rock Gets Punk'd, Rob Van Dam Contract Update:
Reports indicate that Rob Van Dam and WWE are close to securing a new contract. RVD's deal with the company expires in June, however, a new contract is just a formality at this point.
The Rock recently had a joke played on him for the upcoming season of MTV's Punk'd. The joke apparently deals with The Rock being blamed for blowing up a trailer on the set of one of his movies.
Sting/Lex Luger To WWE, Charlie Haas/Rico, Eddie Guerrero:
WrestlingObserver.com is reporting that WWE has been in contact with Sting over the past few weeks. Sting reportedly doesn't have much interest in working for WWE, but the rumor going around is that if he could get WWE to sign Lex Luger, he'd be willing to sign a deal. Luger, who is a close friend of Sting's, is experiencing some major financial problems right now due to all his legal expenses, and Sting is using himself to land Luger a job.
According to reports, Eddie Guerrero is taking his role as WWE champion very well, and isn't taking any time off despite being very banged up physically.
There is talk that the reason Charlie Haas is being paired with Rico is to have Jackie begin falling for Haas, and eventually leave Rico for him. Management wants to pair Haas up with Jackie because they feel it would add more depth to Haas's character.
WWE Edits WrestleMania XX, Major Names Added To HUSTLE-3 Event:
WWE apparently cut off both tag team title matches, the cruiserweight open, and all the backstage interviews, promos, etc. from the VHS release of WrestleMania XX. The tape is edited down to three hours. (Who cares? I mean, get the fuckin dvd!)
Steve Corino, Spanky, and Low Ki have been added to the HUSTLE-3 event on 5/8 at the Yokohama Arena. The show will be headlined by Bill Goldberg challenging Toshiaki Kawada for the Triple Crown championship.

Austin Returning To WWE?, Backlash Buyrate; More:
The following news comes from the PWTorch.com Newsletter:
Backlash drew a strong 600,000 buys for Backlash, according to very early estimates. When looking at it in terms of the card, that buyrate is definitely good news and above the initial 500,000 buy estimate. However, because of the WrestleMania aftermath, WWE officials were still a little disappointed with the number.
Currently, the majority of the lockerroom is pessimistic with regards to Austin returning in the short-term, although it's expected he'll be at WrestleMania 21, so as not to miss the large payoff. Austin is still rumored to be negotiating a Japanese appearance for Dreamstage Entertainment.
Possible Bret Hart/Kurt Angle Match?; Goldberg-Lesnar, More:
TSN has posted the one-on-one interview that Michael Landsberg did with Kurt Angle. It was a great interview, one of the better OTR interviews they have done.
While Kurt was on the set, TSN.ca/Wrestling did an interview with Kurt as well. Kurt went and talked more in-depth about his neck. Kurt basically says he can't feel his pinky figure right now. Angle also says wrestling a guy like Brock Lesnar didn't help and his style in the 4 years he has been in the company as a top heel hasn't helped.
However, he doesnt regret what hes done within the past 4 years and is very happy with his accomplishments. He also says that fans love him, which is why he has the "You Suck" chants. He compares himself to Austin and goes on to say that the fans love Austin because he is the underdog that never accomplished a lot and hated his boss where in his life he had gone and actually did something with his life.
In regards to his match with Eddie Guerrero at WM XX, he says that it was really hard to have the match as he didnt want to aggravate his neck injury any more, however it still was a top rated match. He feels the finish of the match is what brought the fans back to the show after the Lesnar vs. Goldberg .
Kurt goes on to say that the reason the fans hated the Lesnar/Goldberg match so match was because they felt betrayed that two of the top talents were leaving the company. Angle believes that Austin shouldve have entered himself into the match and making it a triple-threat encounter, with the ending having Austin stunning them both and then going on to cover them both at the same time, as the fans would have enjoyed this ended a lot more.
However, the big news came when Kurt Angle challenged Bret Hart for an upcoming WrestleMania Match, as that is his dream match. Kurt says that Bret is the very best in the industry, and has all the respect in the world for him. He also would like to think that he would be considered to be among Bret as one of the best ever, and the way to do that is to wrestle him. Kurt says if Bret ever wants to come back for one match and can get his health and status back to a decent level, Kurt wants the match.
New Hirohito Character Causing Backstage Controversy:
- The new Hirohito character that has been alluded to on RAW will be for Kenzo Suzuki. Based on the vignette that aired, there are some people in Japan who feel that this angle will backfire huge to the point where WWE may not be able to return to Japan since it could potentially offend some Japanese right wing politicians who will feel that it is mocking Emperor Hirohito. Right now the plan is for Hirohito to debut on the 5/10 RAW from San Jose and they are also toying with the idea to have him be accompanied by a bodyguard. According to sources, the company has contacted one of the bigger stars in industry for the role.
Inside Details Behind Austin's WWE Release:
- WWE is blaming a lot of the problems between themselves and Steve Austin on Austins lawyer, saying that the lawyer doesnt understand the importance of Austin remaining on WWE TV for his own marketing. However, Austin himself was not going to sign off on a new deal unless he had control of his external deals and reportedly WWE was willing to make some concessions in this area but only in areas that were not in competition to any existing WWE deals. Austin and Vince McMahon broke off talks on 4/16 in a positive manner by saying that they would work together again some day. The company also promised not to bury Austin publicly on TV.
Matt Hardy's Face Turn, Lita News, Angle Storyline *Spoiler*; & Loads More:
Matt Hardy is in for a big push in the coming weeks. The plan is to have Hardy and Lita re-unite as hinted at last week on RAW.
The Undertaker is scheduled to face Booker T at Judgment Day and is expected to return to SmackDown! prior to the PPV. It could come as soon as next week although that's not confirmed.
As it stands right now, Kurt Angle is expected to work the weekend house shows. The last we heard, Angle was supposed to do a wheelchair gimmick to sell the idea he just suffered a broken leg.
Rey Mysterio is off this weekend house shows due to dizzyness as we reported last week.
