"Diesel" Kevin Nash Signs Three-Year Contract to Join His Buddy Scott Hall in WCW; Could Bret Hart Be Joining Them in WCW After WrestleMania? The Ultimate Warrior Returns to the WWF; A Current Affair Runs Piece Mocking ECW; Benoit, Malenko, and Guerrero Re-Up with WCW For Three Years; Bam Bam Bigelow Could End Up in WCW

Kevin Nash (Diesel) gave his 90-day notice to the WWF and will join his best friend Scott Hall in WCW. Nash signed a similar three-year guaranteed contract that Hall signed last week. It is known Hulk Hogan wants to work with Nash. Both Nash and Hall are 36 so they need to to think about their long-term status and financial future.

Unlike Hall, who is suspended for six weeks after failing a drug test and will likely miss WrestleMania, the WWF is still using Nash for main event-caliber matches such as against The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Hall will likely be replaced by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper against Goldust (Dustin Runnels) at WrestleMania. Hall was shown getting in the face of Piper during the 2/20 Superstars tapings over how he's handled Goldust only for Piper to slap him in the face. That likely won't air.

Hall was supposed to take on Goldust in a Miami Street Fight and was even to take part in the WWF Tag Team Title Tournament where he and Savio Vega defeated The 1-2-3 Kid and Tatanka in the first round in a match that was taped on 2/20 and will be shown on the 3/9 episode of Superstars. No word on if they will still air that match and whether or not they will remove Hall from any WWF TV.

Hall's earnings in 1995 were far below what he earned at his top in 1994 and has been unhappy for several months with his role in the company ranging from Goldust's homosexual angle to not working with his buddies Hunter Hearst Helmsley and The 1-2-3 Kid and the whole baby bottle and diaper angle with the Kid.

There are reports now that Bret Hart will also be leaving the WWF after WrestleMania going with Hall and Nash to WCW. Despite being a strong WWF guy, Hart is not happy with how things are going and does not like how The Kliq has a strong influence in the booking. They are all also not happy with the WWF's decision to bring back The Ultimate Warrior.

After negotiations in December between Warrior and the WWF to return to the WWF failed, Warrior has now agreed to return to the WWF for the first time since late 1992. Warrior will make his return at WrestleMania where he will take on Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

Warrior will likely work all major events and some house shows but not all. Vince McMahon says Warrior will be under the same policy for steroid testing as the rest of the company. No one, not even McMahon, has really seen Warrior and do not know how he will look physically if he stopped taking steroids or has not and you will see the physical changes if he has stopped taking them.

There have been changes to the WrestleMania card as the original Yokozuna vs. Vader match will now be a six-man tag team match between Yokozuna, Jake Roberts, and Ahmed Johnson vs. Vader, Owen Hart, and Davey Boy Smith since Yokozuna's massive weight gain makes it harder for him to work singles matches.

The Bodydonnas (Skip and Zip) will win the WWF Tag Team Titles against most likely The Godwinns in the finals of the tag team title tournament held at the Free for All show shown right before the WrestleMania PPV. They were supposed to defeat the Smokin' Gunns for the titles originally at Mania before Billy Gunn's injury sidelined him. The Huckster-Nacho Man match will also be on the Free For All show.

The show A Current Affair ran a piece about ECW on their 2/23 show. It was a cheap negative piece showing nothing but violence but that helps ECW gain national exposure. ECW had recently switched to an anti-blading or "no blood" policy shortly before which was totally coincidental.

Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Dean Malenko all re-signed new three-year contracts to remain in WCW. Brian Pillman continues to appear and draw major attention at ECW events.

Bam Bam Bigelow appeared in ECW in an angle with Taz and will likely be going to WCW. However, Bigelow will have to wait until the end of the year as his WWF contract doesn't expire until October.
