Latest on Sting, HBK taking time off, Booker unhappy and more

- WWE management was very happy with the way RAW went last week and the way the Triple H - Shawn Michaels feud got over. They wanted the feud to be the one thing that every single viewer remembered once the show went off the air. The feeling was that the show was not at the level as it had been in the previous weeks during the heavy sweeps period, but it definately accomplished what they set out to do. Expect the feud to get even deeper tonight on RAW.

- Speaking of Shawn Michaels, it is expected that he will be taking some time off following the Bad Blood PPV as his wife is about to give birth to their second child.

- Booker T continues to let it be known that he is very frustrated with the way his current push is working out on Smackdown, and the feeling is that he will be retiring "sooner than later."

- The latest on Sting is that Vince McMahon may actually allow Sting to work a reduced schedule if brought in to World Wrestling Entertianment.

It appears now that Sting is on the verge of working for WWE for the first time in his career, as he has said in the past that he has no interest whatsoever in coming to WWF/E, but things change like the wind in the wrestling business from day to day. During a recent interview, Sting mentioned that he has talked to Vince several times over the past few years and now wants to be able to work for him.

One of the things that kept him from coming in was the number of dates he was asked to work, but now that Vince will allow him a reduced schedule, things may change from this point forward.
