The latest on Steve Austin's recovery is that it is going well, but a timeline for his return won't even be considered until Mid-August, so a Summerslam return date is out of the question. It's more likely, that his first wrestling match back would be next year's Wrestlemania from the Astrodome in Houston Texas. Although, the WWF would like to see him back this fall.

- Kurt Angle has completed a year in his WWF contract. His contract was signed for 5 or 6 years when he signed with the WWF so he will be in the WWF for a long a time, at least 4 or 5 more years before his contract is through. Look for Angle to do well in WWF and at King of the Ring and possibly win. He is one of the favorites for the tournament.

- As seen in recent weeks Kane has been using the microphone more often on WWF programming. Well this will continue to be true, as Kane will develop more of an active role on the microphone in upcoming weeks and help add another dimension to his character as he is being pushed towards WWF gold.

- There is some talk of turning Grand Master Sexay heel on Scotty Too Hotty within the next few months. The thought of this was because Sexay isn't getting too much crowd attention that Rikishi and Too Hotty have gotten.

- The Rock, Shane McMahon, and The Dudleyz are described as "inseparable" friends.

- Jerry Lawler was nominated for "Best Professional Athlete in a Movie" by Sport Magazine for his role in the Andy Kaufmann movie. - Steve Austin was nominated for "Best Acting job By An Athlete on T.V." He had lost to Steve Young.

- Chyna is scheduled on The Tonight Show on Friday, June 16. The Rock will be on June 21. The Big Show will be on Connan, on June 22.
