FATAL FOUR WAY AT BACKLASH?
- After a good showing on RAW WWE officials are playing around the idea
of having Shelton Benjamin added to the Backlash main event for later
this month, changing the main event once again this time to a fatal four
way with Benoit, HBK and HHH. One thing for sure is that it will be
interesting to see where Benjamin's career will go from here considering
similar angles always failed in WWE camp before, such as The Rock
putting over the Hurricane which resulted into no further storylines and
Triple H losing the IC title to Jeff Hardy, only to get it back a week
later in a quasi squash.

SUMMERSLAM LOCATION STILL UP IN THE AIR
- The location for this year's SummerSlam has yet to be decided as the
company is trying to figure out which would be the ideal place. Tampa,
Toronto and Manchester, England are on the shortlist to host the event.
WWE Canada President Carl DeMarco is trying to get the event in either
the Air Canada Centre or the SkyDome. Meanwhile WWE officials seem also
interested to have the event held overseas, in Manchester England at the
Old Trafford Stadium. Considering the stadium holds more than 65,000 in
a normal soccer setting, it would hold around 10,000 more on the field.
However a decision will not be done until the next WWE UK tour in May.
One problem with holding SummerSlam in the UK is due to time difference
and with the power of Internet today results could be out just minutes
after the show is over which would certainly hurt the buyrates of the
PPV in the United States since it wouldn't air live.
