Steve Austin is scheduled to start shooting for his new movie, Damage, next week on October 17 in Vancouver. Of course, Austin is booked to appear at WWE's Cyber Sunday pay-per-view in the middle of shooting. Don't expect to see him involved on WWE television past Cyber Sunday. The plan is for the film to take a day off from shooting so Austin can fly to Phoenix, Arizona for Cyber Sunday and then immediately fly back to Vancouver to resume shooting the next day. Austin is the lead character in the movie, playing a convict who just got out of prison and gets pressured into underground fighting.
During the month of August, WWE shipped a total of 164,000 DVD units. The top four DVDs are WrestleMania (314,000 units shipped, which is actually considered to be a huge disappointment), Triple H (239,000), "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (228,000), and The Rock (200,000 units shipped to date). The numbers on the Ric Flair DVD should be out soon, but it will likely end up as the No. 5 DVD of the year
