Well, over the past few days, WCW postponed that taping in Memphis, and then Jerry Jarrett canceled the entire scenario, apparently claiming that word had leaked out in wrestling.
Chris ZonaHOST
As WCW officials were saying on the 7th, and friends of Dangerously were confirming, the story given out was that Paul E. told Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert.
Chris ZonaHOST
Somehow this caused Jarrett to feel that too many people knew.
Chris ZonaHOST
Since he was used to all his angles being secretive since he's from the old school, he backed out on the deal, or at least that is how the story goes.
CharlesGUEST
I don't know if it does WCW any good at this point in time to be kind of on a level playing field with the USWA.
CharlesGUEST
I don't know if the angle was really going to be a good idea anyway um i mean i know okay it makes more sense now because i always thought it was that it leaked out but it's not so the newsletters hadn't covered that this was going to happen it was just that jerry jarrett found out too many people knew about it that makes more sense
Chris ZonaHOST
well the thing is is is that when he found out that eddie gilbert knew That's the thing, that Eddie Gilbert knew that now too many people now know about it because it's Eddie Gilbert.
CharlesGUEST
