The cause was that Sammy had made a unapproved insult about Eddie's weight in a promo , which Eddie did not take well at all. Eddie was later suspended for a few weeks as a result of this incident. Eddie still had a match at All Out, just not with Sammy-who also had another match with someone instead. Sammy would also a few weeks after the Media Scram incident, get into another backstage fight. This time it was with Wrestling/AndradeCienAlmas, which started when the two got in a twitter argument and Andrade confronted Sammy the night of that week's dynamite show in the arena it was held at, and attacked him.

* At one point Wrestling/KevinSullivan became booker much to the chagrin Wrestling/ChrisBenoit, Wrestling/EddieGuerrero, Wrestling/PerrySaturn, and Wrestling/DeanMalenko. Benoit in particular had issues with Sullivan due to their wrestling feud over Sullivan wife a few years ago leading to a RealLifeWritesThePlot case where Sullivan's wife really did leave him for Benoit (a storyline famously referred to as Sullivan booking his own divorce) so there was till linger issues there between the two. Sullivan tried to keep Benoit happy by having him win the WCW title at Souled Out 2000. However this did not endure him to Benoit and the others. Benoit, Guerrero, Malenko and Saturn quit the next day and Benoit was believed to have thrown the title in the trashcan before he left. WCW then kayfabe stripped Benoit of the title and refused to recognize his title change[[note]] Though WWE after buying WCW does in fact acknowledge the title win[[/note]]. All four men would debut on WWE Raw two weeks later and even lead to Wrestling/MickFoley making a TakeThat comment towards WCW telling them "what was it like to be in front of a full crowd".

**For that matter it became common backstage with how when WCW would punish someone like Steiner, it would be a suspension with pay which basically means there was no real punishment. It got so bad with that, they even made a on-air subtle joke about it.

He also made comments too about how he "shares a bank account with his mother which tells you all you need to know about what kind of character that is". It didn't stop with Cabana as Punk proceed to accuse the Elite of going to the wrestling journalist and "couldn't fucking manage a Target".[[note]] The elite are famously friends of Dave Meltzer and The young Bucks even affectionately referred to him as "Uncle Dave".
