• DX vs. Kaientai DX in THE BATTLE OF DX on Raw Saturday Night.
• Davey Boy Smith attending the WWF house show in Calgary two days before he nearly ends his career at WCW Fall Brawl.
• Vince McMahon talking shit on Bret Hart to Mike Mooneyham.
• AJPW needing to change up their main event scene.
• CMLL changing up their Anniversario plans (and why).
• Justin Credible's wedding causing various people to miss ECW’s weekend house shows.
• Barry Blaustein's crew filming for “Beyond the Mat” at the APW show in Hayward.
• The Sandman signing a three-year deal with WCW.
• Ralphus making his TV debut on WCW Thunder.
• The complete piece of garbage known as Fall Brawl '98.
