His name is Rotunda -- with an "a".  Maybe this should be in the

I think Chris is grading this Clash too low.  One of the things that
he doesn't mention and that made this Clash one of my favorites was
that the heat was incredible -- both literally and figuratively.
Clash 7 was held at an army base and the place was filled with GIs
who really got into the action.  As well, it was *hot*.  By the end
of the night, Jim Ross and Bob Caudle looked like they were ready
to pass out.
 
Chris also failed to mention one of my favorite moments when someone
jumped into the ring as the Midnight Express were being introduced.
Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane pushed the guy out to the MPs and Jim
Cornette said, "We're going to do you a favor.  We're going to let
you sleep it off."
 
Despite the problems -- the Ding-Dongs, Norman, the endless Army
promos -- I rate this Clash a solid B.

How about these crappy Pay-Per-View rates?  I remember when you
could view great wrestling for under $15.00.  Last year's
WrestleMania was close to $30.00, and I don't even want to see this
year's cost.
 
Vince McMahon is a money-hoarding little prick whose entire organization
is quickly moving downhill.  I don't think that the WWF fans will support
wrestling as long as the prices are moving into the realm of the absurd.
 
I used to love wrestling, when it was good wrestling.  WrestleMania III
was the pinnacle of the WWF.  Ever since then, it has been steadily
declining.  I refuse to shell out money any longer to these wrestlers
who can't even begin to stand up to their predecessors.  Vince's
gimmicks are getting old.  Hogan never got the chance to face Ric Flair
in a WrestleMania.  That was the match people wanted to see - not Savage!
And what about that picture of Elizabeth they were supposed to show on the
big screen?  Another pay-per-view bullshit scam.
 
I'm fed up, pissed off, and ready to stop putting my hard-earned cash into
the pockets of Vince McMahon.  Are you with me?  I'd like to hear from you.

Nope. Bob Backlund. He was WWF champion when he teamed with Pedro to
win the tag straps from the Samoans. They immediately vacated the
title, and the Samoans won the title back in the ensuing tournament.

The WWF Magazine also referred to Randy Savage as WWF Champion in the
issue *before* he won the title at WM4, and indeed, before the card
had actually taken place.

For some masochistic reason, I decided not to take a sandwich break during

surprised to see them cut to an audience shot and have Jim Ross say, "And
there's Bob Mould and Gary Juster."

Bob Mould, as in Husker Du and his new band Sugar. What in the world would

Well, it seems as if Vince is really intent on pushing Bob Backlund, despite 
any bad blood between them.
 
As for pops, just wait until the 28th when he returns to the Garden! If the 
audience is stil 75% hardcores (like it usually is), they may REALLY blow 
the roof off the building.

Again, when Vinnie wants to push a man, he pushes heavily. I guess Virgil's 
acknowledgement of him is either going to set up a tag-team undercard bout 
for Royal Rumble (or --ACK-- This Tuesday In Texas II!) or just another 
attempt at a push.
 
I don't know for sure if Vince is going to give Backlund the belt again. As 
it is, I never expected Bret Hart to take it, especially after dropping the 
I-C strap.

A description of the FWF is included in the FAQ, but I'll answer your
question.

First of all, the Fictional Wrestling Federation involves three people:
The Stilt Man, Liam Kelly, and myself. It was started by Stilt Man, and
he handles singles' matches in the World and US divisions. Liam handles
the Intercontinental division (singles') and I handle the tag-team stuff.
The wrestlers you read about are a combination of personal creations
of ours and suggestions from people on the net.

Anyone having a good idea for (a) wrestler(s) may send one of us mail,
describe your idea, and from there your wrestler is in our hands for
us to decide if we want to use it or not. We obviously cannot incorporate
every idea that is thrown our way.

Hope I clarified any questions any newbies out there might have had.

Sorry, I forgot that he vacated that title... 
The Greatest 18 Club is a fictious group which is a New Japan version of the
Hall of Fame that is supposed to include the guys who had good matches/feuds
with Inoki, such as Hogan, Hansen, Andre, Singh, Johnny Powers, Thesz, Gotch,

You know, All Japan and New Japan have really changed. What All Japan is
doing now is what we used to call "strong style of wrestling" which is what
Inoki claimed to have. Unfortunately, what New Japan is doing right now is
what used to be called "showmanship style" which was what All Japan used to
have. I guess the New Japan fans today accept any kind of stupid gimmick as
long as the matches are good. I don't really know why New Japan changed...
I would guess that's because of the lack of Inoki on the cards.

Just began to think how lousy the Survivor Series card is shaping up
(anyone know why they decided to break from the established 10to8 man
Survivor matches?).  So I looked forward to the prospects of the next
PPV, the Royale rumble in January.  If most of the current wrestlers
stick around, then I think this would be the heaviest Royale Rumble
date.  Some of the 300+ particapants could included; Bam Bam Bigelow,
Earthquake, Typhoon, Big Boss Man, Kamala, Undertaker, Yokozuna, and
Papa Shango.

Possible Card?Any Ideas?

Also, anyone else hear of a Curt Henning turn at S.S. for a grudge

  Once again from Saskatoon, Canada, where Vince mentions Bret won the
belt from Flair.

  First match: Max Moon defeats a jobber with a reverse flying bodypress,
already Moon's workrate is slowing down.

  Show a clip summary of Money Inc. title victory over Natural Disasters.

  Virgil wrestled.  Did a clothesline off the second rope, won with a
Russian leg sweep.  Vince mentions ICO-PRO and they ask Virgil who was his
idol as a kid.  Virgil says it was Bob Backlund.

  UPDATE:  Hosted by Lord Alfred Hayes, who is sitting in for Gene Okerlund,
who is sitting in for Seam Mooney at the event center, who is on his honeymoon.
They show the altercation between Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels where
Sherri gets the mirror busted over her head.

  Bam Bam Bigelow is coming to WWF.

  Debut of the Head Shrinkers.  Fatu and Samu (Vince actually keeps their
SST names) wrestlle and one watches outside.  Anyone know who the one 
outside the ring is?  It is NOT the Samoan Savage (aka 1/2 of the islanders,
aka the Tonga Kid).  He looks a little older.  Anyways, after some decent
moves (though I was expecting a little more) they win when one of the 
Samoans does a superfly swat off the top rope.

  Musical tribute to Bret Hart.  I think the name of the song was
"Making Some Noise" simply because that was the lyric they kept repeating.
Showed various clips of Bret in action.

  Big Bossman interviewed.  They had a nightstick on a pole.  

  Gene Okerlund on update announced Saturday Night's Main Event would be
November 14 at 9:00  (I assume this is on Fox, I forgot to check if it was
eastern standard time, or doesn't that matter anymore?)

  Debut of Damien Demento.  I think this guy used to be Mondo Klein in
ICCW.  Won with a Rude Awakening followed by a knee drop.

  Surviver Series Update:  Bushwackers agreed to step aside, allowing
the 8 man tag to now be ND & Nasty Boys vs Bev Bro & Money Inc.
Undertaker has completed the coffin.

  Promo for Saturday Night's Main Event, no mention of matches.

  World Tag Title match: Money Inc. versus HIgh Energy- I just saw the
end, where Owen cleans house, fires Dibiase into the ropes, ducks his head
to early and Dibiase does a swinging neck breaker and PINS him!  Talk about
a pathetic job by one of the most talented guys in the federation.

That's it!  I've been half paying attention to this thread over its
duration, but you just brought to mind the good ol' days of Brian
Tramel and his commentaries on the Joel Goodheart groupies there in
Philly.  I have 4 of Goodheart's "luncheons" on tape, and these folks 
scare the piss out of me.  The one with Jerry Lawler is interesting,
as Lawler willingly exposes the business to these people, yet he
becomes violent when dealing with fans who really know what's going
on (such as Brian Tramel).

  I think that the main point of this thread is that the fact that
  pro-wrestling in Japan is booked is irrelevant (to everyone but the
  wrestlers and the booker ;-)).  

  Certainly, as I watch Japanese videos that is my feeling.  The booked
  nature of the sport demands more consideration in North America, where
  wrestlers' gimmicks become part of the match and with rare exception  
  (see Flair vs. Steamboat or Pillman vs. Riger for exceptions, and
  see Papa Shango vs. burning/oozing jobbers or Jake Roberts biting
  himself with his snake at Havoc for extreme non-exceptions) 
  make it impossible to view pro-wrestling as something more than
  athletic theatre.

  Except for possibly an occasional undercard match-up in a shooting
  promotion or even an occasional undercard match-up in All Japan,
  New Japan, or All Japan Women (often, New Japan has karate guys
  vs. wrestlers, and AJW has women kickboxers) every pro-wrestling
  match in Japan has a pre-determined ending.  And those occasional
  undercard matches might have predetermined endings too; it's just
  real hard to tell.

   Just for history's sake, here's a real trivia question: there have been
