Some interesting factoids from Saturday Night Superstars show on
Atlanta's (GA, USA) Channel 69 from April 4 (night before WM8):

	Both WWF syndies (Superstars of Wrestling and ???) were almost
exactly the same. They showed the same interviews and promo spots. Maybe 3 or
4 short matches were different. These are shown back to back from 8:00pm to
10:00.  I am glad I have a fast-forward button.

	From the McMahon/Hogan interview, it was clear to me that Hogan
wouldn't do a job for Sid. At least in this interview, Hogan didn't do his
usual sweating and screaming. It was a welcome surprise. I actually liked it.

	In an interview with Joe Pedicino, Teddy Long said that Van Vader was
a first round draft pick for the L.A. Rams.

	Next week, Jesse Ventura will be co-host with Tony Shiavone on WCW
World Wide Wrestling.

	On the GWF Major League Wrestling show, Joe Pedicino continues to
keep us up to date on the Patriot's eye injury. The current (and probably
final) word is that he is unable to ever wrestle again. However, we know that
Del Wilkes is now in the WWF. The supposed injury was done by the Dark
Patriot (Doug Gilbert) several weeks ago. I find it unusual that they dragged
the injury reports out so long. I guess there were some questions whether
Dilkes would remain with the WWF and there was a chance that he might return
to the GWF.

	On GWF, Eddie Gilbert continues to be a face, to the surprise of
many^H^H^H^Heveryone.  All the announcers (face and heel) think he can't be
trusted. I wonder why.

	Pro Wrestling This Week (PWTW) is now co-hosted by Sam Kent, former
co-host of SNS) and Scott Hudson (former GWF announcer). Lots of has-beens on
this show. I wonder if that means anything. Steven DeTruth continues with
guest commentaries.

First the question...I missed the very beginning, and later saw
Monsoon missing and Rev Slick gone (again).  Any word at the
beginning of the show as to the official reason for their absences?
Does this confirm the Monsoon has health problems rumor?

Now onto the funny quote of the night.
Tito was wrestling Skinner, and Lord Alfred Hayes pointed out to Sean
that the Mayor of Barcelona had invited Tito to Spain for the Olympics.
Sean asked Hayes what Tito's olympic interests were, and Hayes said
something about track...and mostly amateur wrestling...especially
Greco-Roman style wrestling.  Hayes went on to add that Tito was quite
accomplished at Greco-Roman style wrestling, to which Sean replied:

And his knowledge of Greco-Roman wrestling has REALLY helped him with
his career in the WWF.

When I heard this, I ROTFL....especially since, at the time, the two
wrestlers were duking it out.  Has anyone EVER seen Tito or anyone else
display any Greco-Roman wrestling moves during a match?

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure somebody will) but isn't
this a somewhat narrow view of things?  If we view this somewhat
sociologically, isn't the "mark" tag simply an indication of where
a person stands on the insider-outsider distinction?  If you're a
wrestler or a promoter or involved in the business then you would
be a non-mark because you're on the inside.  If you're not in the
business then you're an outsider (a mark) unless you have some
privileged relationship to people in the business (e.g., Meltzer
or other sheet writers, though its not clear that these people 
aren't part of the business).  An ordinary mark would be an
oustider who buys the show at face value while a smart mark
realizes that there is much more going on though he/she is not
completely in on the deal.  Also, marks are not in it for money
or fame or a livelihood whereas insiders have a real stake in
the action, no matter how it turns out.

To me, the mark-insider distinction is comparable to the distinction
that carnival/circus folks made between themselves and the people
who came to the show (i.e. rubes).  

And remember being a rube is better than being a geek.

Well, according to our... interesting report from germany, 'twould
seem that the Champ is defending the belt, but the injury is
glaringly apparent(non-injury, NEVER accuse me of being a mark) so
my guess is that Sav will reluctantly retire very soon. Or get
beaten very easily by the Nature Boy. When they make this much fuss
over an injury, it means something. Look for Macho to come out for
his Pit interview on crutches or limping badly.

Looks like we'll have a new champ soon. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

On Superstars of Wrestling yesterday, Davey Boy Smith had an interview 
which indicated to me that his feud with the Berzerker is still on.  He
also challenged Sid Justice, which, IMHO, could be the second worst
move of his career (going on the juice was the first).

So, I guess Vince didn't pull the match because either of the two failed
a 'roid test.  Can anyone think of any other reasons?  I can't.  Unless
he didn't want dogs and children worldwide to go nuts when the Berzerker
went "Huss huss" :-).

The Ding Dongs were a face jobber team in the NWA around 1987(I think).
They wore masks are came to the ring with Bells as their entrance music.
They two Ding Dongs would inscessantly(sp) ring a bell during their match.
To the best of my knowlege they won 1 match back when WCW ran the studio
tapings, with Tony S. and David Crocket.

They are probably most known for  being ridiculed time and again by James
E. Cornette.
