I watched ECW on TNN all the way through for the first time yesterday, and I've gotta say, I don't think I've seen anything so damn cool in a long time. The moves that these guys try to pull off, let alone actually do, are unbelievable. When I saw RVD leap from one side of the ring to another, kicking that chair into someone's face, I just sat there, with my mouth open, looking at the TV screen. I know I'm gonna be watching ECW for a long time to come. With Fully Loaded tomorrow, it's not a very big day in wrestling news, so I'll just get right to what there is to report.

Billy Gunn's return date will be sometime this September, and it will mark the reformation of the New Age Outlaws, and begin the breakup of DX. The WWF is putting him back with Road Dogg because it takes the two and gives them much needed angles, and FINALLY gets Road Dogg away from X-Pac. They are pretty boring as a tag team together anyways.

My favorite tag team in wrestling, the Hardy Boyz, are said to be going through a major breakup this Sunday. It is rumored that Lita will cost one of them a pinfall, and it will cause dissention between the brothers. I think this is the dumbest idea I've ever heard of. The Hardys are one of the most exciting tag teams in the WWF right now, and their breakup wouldn't do anything better than what they have right now. Why fix something if it's working perfectly fine?

Sunday Night HeAT will be a good show before Fully Loaded this Sunday. The card looks like this:
-Dudley Boyz v. Low Down
-Steve Blackman v. Funaki (Hardcore Title)
-Dean Malenko v. Crash Holly (Light-Heavy Title)
There is also rumor that Mick Foley might add some sort of stipulation during Sunday Night HeAT to one of the Fully Loaded matches. Be sure not to miss it!

Moving now to WCW news, Disco Inferno's back is sore from his match with Kronic on Thunder. He isn't going to miss any action, as the injury wasn't very severe.

Mike Modest was supposed to be offered a contract by WCW, but that was before Russo and Bischoff came in. They decided that it wouldn't be worth the federation's money to sign him. Despite that, the WCW is still in talks with Mike.

Sting will probrably not be working the next WCW Pay Per View, New Blood Rising, so that he can continue to work up to his match at the August PPV. He will, however, continue his appearances from the rafter's of buildings in the meantime.

Don't expect the Harris Brothers to be on WCW TV anytime soon, because the federation doesn't have any storylines to put them in. They will, however, continue taking place in house shows.

DDP's future with the WCW is up in the air. The WCW doesn't have anyplace to fit him into in the storylines, but he will most likely be back to form a group with Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, and Scott Hall upon his return.

For all of you who are hoping for the rebirth of the nWo, on a WCW monster truck commercial, the announcers were pointing out that the nWo trusk had just been pulled out of retirement. Take that for shat it worth, though.

Well, that's it in a pretty slow day for wrestling news, but with a big PPV tomorrow, you can bet there will be more to come as all of the rumors continue to circulate. Keep updated on the PPV by checking out our Fully Loaded coverage at the top of the page. Tonight is the first night without wrestling programming this entire week. Thanks again for stopping by HW 24/7 for your news and rumors.
