Just heard from the announcers on Summer Slam that this is the last pay per view WWF will have with DirecTV. Is it a hint that there's a deal soon or a hint that piracy is too high for Vice McMahon?

Snooped around both sites (WWF and DTV) no mention of this anyplace...

Probably either low viewer numbers or dave taking too big of a cut or Vince wanting too big of a cut:)

Read on a Wrestling news site a week ago that DTV and WWF were in negotiations for a new contract but that was the last that I had heard about it... I know the WWF was planning on lawsuits against some Canadian bars that were showing the WWF pay-per-views with programmed cards and then charging admission to see it ($5.00 - $10.00 per person on average) Maybe that had something to do with it??
