    And it was, and a very tedious match to boot. Windham dominated Austin
  and won the first fall and the second (lasting forever seemingly) fall
  ended in an expiration of time draw. Thus, and this is their bizarre logic,
  Austin retained the belt. Mercifully, at least there was no third fall.

   Fralic made remarks about possibly being again interested in becoming
  a wrestler. I don't care enough to even guess about the reasons (Falcon's
  contract talk, etc.)

   Windham did an interview, the "highlight" being a heckler in the audience
  who turned out to be Paul E. in a fake beard.

   The next Saturday Night taping (May 2nd?) featured a slow motion match
  between Arn and Hacksaw Josh. The absolutely loathsome Josh had a cold, so
  things were even more grinding than we could fear, and it went three falls
  with Arn getting a late spinebuster for the win. During the third fall
  the high point was Anderson accidently opening a cut above Josh's eye.

   Koloff did an interview where he ripped Lex as being selfish, etc. and
  mentioned that he was now pals with the kid that he terrorized (Kevin
  Sullivan's son?) when he went after Sting last year. I suppose to prove
  his point he then called down a plant (she was seated right next to me
  the next row up) dressed in Sting make up - and hit her; no he didn't hit
  her, but wouldn't it have been cool? He had her name her favorite wrestler
  and in spite of my shouts of "Cactus Jack" she said Sting.

   Hmmm... what else? Oh, Jason Hervey was the host, what an idiot, and
  was of course useless. Quite a few of us booed him and shouted out "Paul E."
   Noticeably Medusa was at neither D.A. match. I guess that by the time these
  air, the plot will have moved further along. (Probably with the Zbysko-Koloff
  match as something went on behind the curtains after the match. We could 
  only see the camera people filming it.)

   As mentioned before, Sting's out with broken ribs. 

  All in all, painfully dull, but apparently we will see Scott Anthony 
  wrestle on one of the shows so I'd imagine that they'll piece together
  some pretty good stuff, they usually do. But the main events just
  didn't happen this time.
  I did speak briefly to K. Frey but only to offer my compliments for
  the new life he's brought back in.
