Hi grapple fans.  Jimmy 'Whizzkid' Hussell here with the Papa Shango interview
from Septembers WWF Magazine which I promised.

Prologue :

The WWF hasn't been the same since Papa Shango arrived on the scene.  Shango,
a voodoo practitioner, has used his sorcery and black magic to haunt numerous
people, including the Ultimate Warrior.  Shango says he has cursed the Warrior.
Although the Warrior denies he is under Shango's spell, he has had some strange
things happen to him over the last several months.  For example, after the
Warrior defeated Nasty Boy Knobbs an national T.V., the former WWF champion
suffered from severe stomach cramps and nausea.  The Warrior blamed these post-
match symptoms on the ferocity of battle; Shango, of course, said otherwise. 
A week later, a mysterious black goo dripped down the Warrior's face during a
live interview with Mean Gene Okerland.  The Warrior was overwhelmed and at a
loss for words.
	Papa Shango was not.  He said his curse will intensify on a daily basis
until it totally engulfs the Warrior's body and soul.  WWF Magazine caught up
with Papa Shango.  Here is what he had to say .....


WWF: Papa Shango, it looks as if your supposed curse is weakening the Ultimate
     Warrior.  However, he denies that he is under your spell.  He, like 
     millions of his fans, says all the strange things that have happened to
     him are a matter of circumstance.  They could happen to anybody, he 
     reasons.  What do you say ?

PS: A warrior can rise and a warrior can fall.  But, the curse of Papa Shango
    will make the Warrior crawl.  The Ultimate Warrior can live in denial.  
    He can wish that the things happening to him are only coincidental.  That's
    fine.  He is only clinging to false security, and that will only make Papa
    Shango's curse increase with intensity.  It will fill Papa Shango's soul
    when the Warrior's fire is reduced to mere embers and coal.

WWF: What else can we expect from you, Papa Shango ?  What more do you have in
     store for the Ultimate Warrior ?

PS: Don't open the door; don't turn on the lights.  Expect the unexpected night
    after night.  The Warrior has experienced but a small sum of my limitless
    powers.  Soon he will feel the wrath of all my black magic.  Soon he will
    feel the power of my gods such as Ybo.  Ybo has blessed Papa Shango with 
    powers that are far greater than those of any god, living, dead or undead.
    He has filled Papa Shango with the knowledge of the Ultimate Warrior - 
    knowledge that will bring about the Warrior's demise.

WWF: Would you care to share this so-called knowledge with our readers ?

PS: Papa Shango detects that WWF Magazine, just as the Ultimate Warrior, 
    doesn't believe in the powerful forces of voodoo.  So, if you are a dis-
    believer, then it would be quite futile for Papa Shango to share his
    knowledge with you or with the other people who disbelieve in voodoo power.

WWF: Fine, we will continue with out discussion.  As you know, or may not know,
     the Ultimate Warrior will challenge WWF Champion Macho Man Randy Savage at
     SummerSlam later this month.  Do you feel you alleged curse will play a 
     significant role in their upcoming battle ?

PS: Before, during and after.  The curse of Papa Shango will continue to eat
    away at his soul before the Ultimate Warrior will meet his frail foe at
    SummerSlam.  During his match at SummerSlam, the curse of Papa Shango will
    be eating away at the Warrior's strength.  After the match at SummerSlam,
    curse of Papa Shango will reach a new peak, one that the Ultimate Warrior
    won't endure.  And as summer extends into autumn, the Warrior will feel
    his life ebb.  It will ebb further and further away from him, until he
    finds his body - devoid of a soul - in a place he knows all too well, parts
    unknown.

WWF: Now, your hex isn't exclusive to the Warrior, is it ?  I mean after all,
     we have seen you ... well, we have seen other wrestlers - mainly young-
     sters just trying to establish themselves - catch on fire, fall uncons-
     cious and awaken with evil goo dripping down their faces when they step
     into the ring to go up against you.

PS: It is all part of Papa Shang's curse upon the Ultimate Warrior.  He suffers
    , so his followers will suffer.  He is cursed, so his followers - warriors,
    I believe he calls them - are cursed as well.  They, like the Warrior, will
    live in fear.  They, like the Warrior, will come undone.  They, like the 
    Ultimate Warrior, will forever share the curse of Papa Ybo's son!  It is I,
    Papa Shango!  Ha, ha, ha, ha.

WWF: Thank you.
