The WWF's interests/negociations :
- Keller said there has been a lot of talk that Diamond Dallas Page is trying to get his release from WCW so he can go to the WWF. Keller said that Page may want to bring Eric Bischoff with him. He said most of the people in WCW who have heard the rumor think it is a publicity stunt by Page and that he's not serious.
- According to Dave Meltzer WWF trainee's Reckless Youth and Joe E. Legend may soon be brought in as a tag team in the WWF. The Wrestling World Hotline is reporting that if the two were brought in as a team they would feud with Too Cool.
- The World Wrestling Federation might be interested in bringing in Lodi and Lenny Lane if they could obtain their release from WCW.
- The WWF has shown on again and off again interest in Chris Daniels who is well known as one of the top workers on the indy scene. The WWF thinks he is to small as he is only about 5'8" tall and weights around 130-140 pounds. There are also rumors that the WWF is uninterested as he has a bad attitude. Daniels was known for being hard to work with during his short stay in ECW. Whatever the case the WWF knows he is out there, they just don't seem too interested at the moment.
The WCW's interest's/negociations:
- Meltzer also says that Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are pushing very to try to get Shawn Michaels into WCW. WCW seems unsure as to if they should try to contact HBK. Recently Kevin Nash has been trying to convince HBK that there is a major role for him in WCW if he were to go their. This whole situation depends on a few things though, first of all Michaels has a year and a half left to two years on his WWF contract, also many close personal friends of Michaels seem to think that he is not that interested in WCW especially at this point in his life.
Both's Negociations:
Wade Keller reports that WCW upped their offer to Torrie Wilson upon hearing that she met with WWF officials during the WWF's California swing this past weekend. WCW has been trying to sign Wilson to a contract, but Wilson has been reluctant because the money WCW put on the table was substantially less than her per–night payoffs had been.
A source close to the situation says negotiations became heated when WCW v.p. Bill Busch hung up the phone on Wilson's agent. WCW has tried to strong–arm her into signing the deal, at one point telling her she had "one day to sign." WCW, since hearing that Wilson spoke with WWF officials, is said to have raised their offer. The rumors of meeting with the WWF could be a negotiating ploy by Wilson, but all indications are it is not just a ploy; WCW apparently believes it to be true, also.
If Wilson stays in WCW, she may end up being the person who is secretly working from within the Filthy Animals to split them up on behalf of the Revolution. If Wilson leaves, the traitor will likely turn out to be Eddie Guerrero, who management doesn't believe fits in well with the Filthy Animals.
