> [stuff deleted]

When I saw the promo for Duggan/Whackers vs Beverlies/Repo man I thought
this had to be one of the dumber six-man tag team combinations.  I mean,
Duggan and the Whackers seem to make a believable team (but who would
want to watch them?) but does anybody see the Bevs and Repo Man as a
team?  The guys who eat off of silver plate working with the guy who
reposes the plate?  There's a thematic inconsistency here.  However,
in thinking about this I wondered whether Repo had ever been teamed 
with Money Inc?  That team makes sense from both a thematic and
wrestling perspective.

A couple of other points:

(1)  I don't know why I didn't see this before but while watching Razor
Ramon during this weekend's Superstars I remembered that razor blades
are/were used to cut cocaine into lines and occasionally as a platform
for snorting coke.  Given the Latin connection (admittedly more Cuban
than Columbian) there certainly seems to be a strong implicit drug
connection.  Anybody else see this or have I been watching too much Mr.
Subliminal?

(2)  In the NYC market, during the update segments, Mooney has
been opening with a presentation of two different charity events, one in
Connecticut and the other in upstate NY.  Neither is WWF sponsored but
they do have Vince McMahon participating.  Vince and the WWF have
previously participated in charity events but these have been occasional
things.  Being involved in two events now is unusual and smacks of
damage control on Vince's part.  What I would like to know is if there
has been a sudden increase in the WWF's participation in Charity events
in other parts of the country?  Maybe the Penthouse article does have
Vince worried.

Anyway,
Just this person's view of netlife.

When Saito won the AWA title from Zybysko in 90, he was a face.

Add his Billy White Wolf name to that and you've got him as a face.

   Well, it's like this.  Sailor White entered the WWF as Ripper Hawkins,
managed by Albano, about 1979 or 1980.  The next week he had changed his
name to Moondog Hawkins.  Week after that, he had a partner (don't know the
name) and they were called the Moondogs.  Their names were Rex and King.  Later
on, as the WWF is wont to do from time to time (Funks, Demolition, Samoans,
etc.) they got a third member for the team (named Spot).  If Sailor White is the
dude with the tatoos, then he was King.

In the late 60's-early 70's he was a mega-heel with tag
partner Dick Murdoch.  They can be seen in the 1973 Vern
Gagne movie ``The Wrestler'' as Dirty Dusty Rhodes and
Dirty Dick Murdoch.  From what my dad remembers, they were
pretty convincing heels.

We could probably add some more to this list:

Jim Powers
Blair and Brunzell
The Nasty Boys
Ricky Steamboat?
Kerry Von Erich

I'd also add a few observations about face/heel turns:

First, if a veteran heel turns face in the WWF, it seems to mean he's
leaving.  (Nicolai Volkoff, Greg Valentine, etc.)

Second, if a young face turns heel, Vince seems to give him a VERY 
strong initial push. (The Rougeaus, Poffo, Shaun Michaels, etc.)

Third, if a mid-term heel turns face, it means Vince has gotten tired
of re-dubbing their push matches (Undertaker, Demolition I, Disasters).

Finally, heel/face behavior depends less on persona than on crowd
reaction.  I have seen a match between Santana and Koko B. Ware where
the latter exhibited classic heel behavior.

To conclude:  Given a choice between face and heel personae, I'd bet
the average wrestler would prefer to play the heel.  You get to play
the ham to the upper limit, and there's less pressure to be a role
model (sorry, Martel).

He was a face in the old Georgia Championship Wrestling with Gordon Solie days.
This was his pre-demonic days (:-). He was much smaller back then. I think he
teamed with Tony Atlas and they went for the tag team championships.

No, I think that was someone else. Moondog Spot and Rex did not have
the proliferation of Tatoos that Sailor White has.

I feel old, I remember when "The Sailor" was a jobber in the old Grand Prix
Wrestling in Montreal with "Tokyo Joe" as his jobber tag partner. Then again
I remember the first "Clash of the Giants" Don Leo Jonathan against 
Jean Ferre (Andre The Giant to others).

   This is the worst thing about Watts.  He's done many good things for WCW,
but I can just him at a board meeting going, "We don't want none o' them 
sissy panzy pretty boys flyin' around the ring.  We need REAL MEN in there,
like the Barbarian or Jim Niedhart.  BIG guys who can really beat the hell
out of each other.  This is wrestling, boys, not the goddamn ballet."  The
ironic thing is that if Watts went out and got Ligtning Kid and Benoit and
guys like that, fans would look at WCW and see that their product was so much
better and more exciting than the Whiff I'd bet they'd be WCW fans for life.
After all, when Papa Shango has one of the highest workrates you're used to
seeing, Lightning Kid would seem miraculous to an average mark.  The lack of
signings of available light heavys who are of world class calibre is the worst
mistake Watts is making at WCW.

A few things about this week's Superstars:


1.  For the second week in a row, they skipped the opening credits.  I'm
wondering if this is because they want to drop Hogan from them, but
don't want to make it obvious.  Assuming Slim Jim wins the title at
SummerSlam, they could either bring back the old credits from when he
was champion or create a new one featuring him.

2.  Is it just me, or does one hope that Vince is paying the Hart family
a great deal of money to go through some of the interviews?  Last week
we had Stu & Helen Hart (Stu just sat there and Helen rambled on; maybe
she's had too many piledrivers put on her).  This week we get Davey
Boy's wife crying her eyes out...

3.  The upcoming card here in Cleveland was originally billed with
Savage/Ramon as the main event & Flair/Undertaker as another match.
This week they announced a change to a Flair/Savage in a steel cage main
event.  Maybe we're lucky and Razor Ramon is not going to be around for
long.

4.  I notice that the promo now calls the show BODY STARS and drops the
WBF from the title.

Enough rambling.
