 - Strange unsubstantiated rumour in the Toronto Star today has 
   Jake Roberts getting fired by WCW.  This would, of course, cause
   some problems for the "King of Cable" tourney, unless Jake has
   worked and lost his match against Dustin Rhodes last night.

 - The WWF has a Saturday Night's Main Event on FOX on 11/14/92.
   Taped matches are scheduled to include:
     - Money Inc. vs Ultimate Maniacs for the WWF Tag Titles
         (Money Inc. COR; DiBiase, I.R.S., Razor Ramon, Curt 
         Hennig & Ric Flair attack Maniacs post-match)
     - Bret Hart vs. Papa Shango for the WWF Title
         (Hart retains)
     - Davey Boy Smith vs. Shawn Michaels for the IC Title
         (Michaels wins title)
   The show will apparently air at 6pm on Sunday in my area. 

 - The WWF has it's annual Survivor Series PPV from Richfield, OH,
   on 11/25/92.  Matches will include:
     - Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels for the WWF Title
     - Randy Savage & Ultimate Warrior vs. Ric Flair & Razor Ramon
        with trouble-shooting referee Sgt. Slaughter
        (in trouble because of Ric Flair's injury)
     - Big Boss Man vs. Nailz in a nightstick match
     - Kamala vs. The Undertaker in a casket match
        (in trouble because of Undertaker's injuries)
     - Money Inc. & Beverly Brothers vs. Natural Disasters & Nasty Boys
     - Tatanka vs. Rick Martel
     - Davey Boy Smith vs. Da Mountie
    *- Headshrinkers vs. High Energy
   Davey Boy Smith vs. Da Mountie may be in jeopardy since Da Mountie
   quit the WWF.  Ric Flair and the Undertaker will be out until the PPV,
   but will "definitely" work the show.  Brian Nobbs may be out for the PPV.
   After the show, as already posted, Big Boss Man & Randy Savage will
   be taking time (months) off.  I guess that means that Nailz will
   win the nightstick match and Savage will get "injured" in the main
   event tag match.  Nailz will be programmed with UW after the PPV,
   Ramon will be programmed with Undertaker, Money Inc. will be programmed
   with Nasty Boys (with Lou Albano as manager?), and Shawn Michaels
   will be programmed with Marty Janetty, with Sherri Martel apparently
   jumping to the new boy toy.

 - WCW has a Clash of Champions live on WTBS on 11/18/92 at 8:05 EST.
   The replay will take place the next night at 10:05 EST.  Announced 
   match-ups include:
     - Ron Simmons & Robbie Walker vs. Tony Atlas & Barbarian & Cactus Jack
        in a "Ghetto Odds" match
     - Paul E. Dangerously vs. Madusa, presumably in a gimmick match
        where Paul has one arm tied behind his back (will they humiliate
        Paul so much that he quits?  They seem to hope so)
     - King of Cable tourney semi-final match: Sting vs. Rick Rude 
     - Dustin Rhodes & Barry Windham vs. Ricky Steamboat & Shane Douglas
        for the WCW & NWA Tag Titles
     - Brian Pillman vs. Brad Armstrong
     - Kensuke Sasaki & Erik Watts vs. Arn Anderson & Bobby Eaton
        in a bounty match (bounty is apparently on Erik)
     - Johnny B. Badd vs. Scotty Flamingo in a three round boxing match
     - First two teams in Starrcade will be announced 
   I think that Rick Rude will squeak out a heelish win from Sting early
   in the show.  Later, Madusa will effectively turn face and somehow
   Rude will get involved and also turn face.  That way, when Van Vader
   rumbles to the finals of the "King of Cable" tourney to face Rude,
   it'll be heel vs. face, with Vader saying he has a legitimate claim
   to the US Title, having successfully defended it for Rude at Havoc.
   Of course, this means that WCW loses one of it's two great wrestling
   heels (Rude & Vader being the two).  
     To fill the heel void left by Rude, after Barry Windham & Dustin
   Rhodes lose the tag titles, Barry will turn heel.  Maybe they can do
   some sort of creative angle where Barry honestly thinks that Dustin
   screwed up, but we all know that it was Barry's fault.
