One of my favorite stories from the takeover. I remember Steve Corino (who had signed with WCW but never debuted) mentioning on a podcast that he didn’t know if his contract was absorbed by WWF or if AOL kept it, but all he knew was due a big bonus a certain number of days, if they didn’t opt out of the contract by that day the money was guaranteed. He didn’t want to draw attention to it though, so all he could do was helplessly sit at home and hope JR or whoever didn’t have enough time to sort through all the talent contracts before the day arrived.
