......1.) They just called him the "Masked Skyscraper".  I tried to figure out
       who he was but I thought he looked a lot bigger than Enos.  2.) No, 
       The Minnesota Wrecking Crew II never wrestled on a PPV.

Hmmm...do people actually read my posts?  I already went over this.  The
term "smart mark" originated in the Observer several years ago as a way
for those in the business to justify their position while still
acknowledging that there are fans who know the game.  The underlying
idea here is once a mark, always a mark, regardless of any other
circumstances.

>To me, the mark-insider distinction is comparable to the distinction

Yes, that's exactly where "mark" came from.  More specifically, its
origin is from slang related to counting heads in the house during a
performance.

  I found this rumor hard to believe, for Eflow's reasons, plus one other:
Hasn't Eddie been known to be pretty friendly with the sheets and other 
kayfabes?  (Arezzi comes to mind, but only from memories of stuff seen here.)
With massive damage control efforts ongoing, bringing Gilbert in now would be
a big surprise.

	This morning on "Geraldo" they were discussing sex scandals in sports.
They had Rita the female ref tell her story about Vince, nothing new added.
They also had the announcer, forgot his name already, he just told what was
said to him without mentioning any names, Geraldo asked him how much he was 
offered to keep quite, he didn't say but Geraldo said he heard it was $165k.
Total time on this segment was around 5 minutes for the hour long show.  I

You're right.  It would have worked much better if he was shown sitting
in the crowd.  When Sid & Papa Shango went to beat Hogan up, he could
have jumped over the railing and saved Hogan.  The two could have hugged
and Hogan could have then hoisted the Warrior onto his shoulder as the
theme music played....

    IMHO: Dee should be the Celtics starting Point in the playoffs!

        Dee Brown will eventually be a very good point guard!! But not
    for another year or two. Some of the things he has not mastered at
    the position are:

        dribbling through the press
        passing down to the low post
        passing off of the drive

    These are all things that Sherman, and the Bags are better at. The
    current rotation has been, Dee amassing most of the first half
    minutes, with Bags playing the third quarter, and Sherman Douglas
    as the finisher.

    This seems to be a very effective rotation at the point. Dee gets
    his minutes to work on his game... John Bagley carries the Celts
    over the, after-the-half slump, which was the teams downfall for
    most of last season... Sherman Douglas comes in fresh (spot minutes
    in the first three) and hopefully beats the usual fourth quarter
    press which most teams throw at you...

    One of the best aspects of this rotation is the potential injury
    problems of the Celtics.  I think this team needs a new trainer.

    The other is the possibility of Dee being moved to shooting guard.
    I will predict that with his off-season work ethic he will come
    into next season with a 100% improved outside shot.

Michigan played that same style of ball (cocky) all tournament and season.   
Do you suppose that they should change the style that got them where they  
were?  And you don't think they played Duke tough?!?  That game was an  
intense defensive battle until the last 3 minutes when it became  
Desperation Time.  I wouldn't say that Duke blew them out - the twenty  
point margin doesn't tell the whole story.

You might want to count how many NCAA wrestling championship banners hang
down from OSU's (of the Okie variety) Gallagher-Iba Arena before you make 
that statement.  I can't remember exactly how many, but seems like there 
were 15 or 16 of them.  

Besides, how many reigning Olympic Gold medal winners does Iowa have 
as coaches...as in OSU's Kenny Monday and John Smith?

A particular year, Iowa may be best, but overall school, I think not.
