Not like this is new to anyone here, but I have been totally
convinced of the superiority of Japanese wrestling.

After my finals, I went to a local Japanese market and rented
a stack of videotapes. I discovered a one-hour TV show is
better than a Wrestlemania or Halloween Havoc.

You know what did it?  See the State Patrol wrestle a quite
exciting match!! Sure they lost, but they had more moves than
Hogan, Anabolic Warrior, and Nepo Man combined!

Adrian Adonis was killed when the van he was riding in (or was he actually
driving) went off an icy road and over an embankment just outside of
Lewisporte, Newfoundland.  Also killed was "Wildman" Dave McKigney (sp)
and Pat Kelly, one of the infamous Kelly Twins.  I had a newspaper article
which I posted to the net quite some time ago.  I can dig it out again and 
repost it, for anyone concerned.
   BTW, does anyone besides me remember the Kelly Twins in the Oh Henry
commercial?  They were on the end of a seesaw, which was balanced on the
other end by a large Oh Henry Bar, and they were "discussing" what made Oh
Henry so big. All that came from Pat was "It's that BIG CHUNK... UH
FUUUUUUUJJJJJJJ"  I was quite a while ago, but I remember it like it was
yesterday.

   I got the impression that Sting would be drawing a name for his partner,
   and that he is already included as "defending champion". As for Vader,
   who knows. (I do expect him to job for Sting in the King of Cable
   match though.)

   Let me add my name to the list of people that really like this
   "Too Cold Scorpio". Everything but his name and the dancing at
   at the begining of his matches that is. He uses alot of moves,
   is aerial beyond belief for a NA wrestler, and just generally
   seems to work hard, baring injury he is, IMHO, a superstar of
   the future. ("Til he gets too popular and has to job for "Nepoman".)

   I'm not sure about the Windham-Pillman team either. But for differnet
   reasons. I don't buy Pillman as a heel. It just doesn't work for
   me. I would like to see them win though, just 'cause I find
   Shane Douglas' interview style soo annoying. I foresee a Dustin
   Rhodes interference here though.

   Can anyone explain the push that Van Hammer continues to get?
   He seems to generate no heat, can't wrestle, and his interviews
   are pathetic. Is he Watts' illegitimate son maybe?

So I guess Vince has thrown a monkey-wrench into Hogan's New Japan deal, eh? 
I would like to see Hogan on a WCW PPV, just for the shock value. (Beleive

I get the feeling that if he can wrestle for Titan by April 4, he'll 
interfere after the Hart/Kokina match. Either that or he'll belittle Hogan 
forcing him out of retirement...

Herb,
I heard last week that Tenta won't be coming to All Japan.  From what I
heard, a newspaper reported that Baba won't bring him in since he worked
for SWS.  Meltzer collaborated it.  Meltzer also said that Davey Boy
Smith will definitely be in on the February tour.

They will be on the 1\8 show at the Spectrum and may actually go.  They
will be wrestling Double Trouble, the fat guys from IWCCW, in their
first go round.  Also, Bret Hart will be wrestling Rick Flair.  I talked
to a few folks who have seen them so far and they say that match is
good.  I just may go.

Also, WCW is having what appears to be a good card the day after
Starrcade in Philly.  Muta, Chono, Liger, and Sasake will all be on the
card.  I am definitely going to that one.

And on 1\23 in Philly at the Radisson Hotel at the Airport Dennis
Coraluzzo's WWA is co-promoting a show with Tod Gordon's ECW.  The main
event is an "I quit" match between Eddie Gilbert and Terry Funk.  They
had an outstanding match last month in Wayne, NJ that was a consensus 5
star match.

Anyone interested in going to any of these shows, drop me a line E mail
and maybe we'll meet there.

Sting will wrestle Hase, at least if he does not beat Muta or Chono
beforehand.

      The last I heard, he wasn't doing very well, and he was threatened to
be cut. I'll try to find his stats, but I'm afraid that he doesn't look like
an nba prospect.

      On the other hand, we have had players that have failed miserably in the
Spanish or Italian leagues, and then went to be all stars in the nba, (jeff
rulland comes to mind).

Actually, I believe the NBA does allow numbers that have a digit higher than
five (as alluded to by Jazzy J), but I don't know under what parameters;
so far I haven't seen any 87's or anything like that...

You are correct; under National Federation (governing body of high school
athletics in the US) and NCAA rules, the legal numbers are those that you
listed above.  Previously, the rule was written as "No single number (1) or
(2) (i.e. you can't just have a "1" or a "2" on your jersey, but "12" and
"21" would be okay) and no digit higher than five".  Two years ago, both
organizations changed it to "The legal numbers are 0, 00, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11,
12..."

      Hi, guys:

      Some of you sent e-mail to me asking about how Mark Bradke was doing in 
the Spanish league.

      I finally found the newspaper note that I mentioned in a previous 
article. This note was dated on November 23, so I don't know what happened
afterwards.

      The paper said that the GM of Juver Murcia was rather disappointed with
Bradke's performance. His contract was due to expire on November 30, and
they were not going to renew it.

      I couldn't find his stats for the season. I do know, however, that he
was not in the top-20 in any category. I could collect his stats for the last
3 games: 8 of 19 fg, 3 of 5 ft, 15 rebounds, (9 def, 6 off), 1 assist, no
block and 4 steals; with a total of 19 points, (5, 0, and 14 respectively).

      Hope this helps.

      Merry Christmas

The Slam Drunks rode the last week of their two players, Wilkins and
Drexler 
(now traded away) to their first weekly victory of the year. Overall, it
was a 
pretty piss-poor week, with 235 being the lowest winning total yet.

TRADE LINE:

  The Die hards dramatically improved their team, with the acqusition of
bot Clyde Drexler, and Dominique wilikins. THey gave up Tom Gugliotta,
Lionel Simmons, and Jeff Hornecek to do so. Simmons has been disappointing
this year, and Gugliotta, whil very promising, has performed with the
typical rookie inconsistency. Looks like a good trade for the Die Hards.
  THE Admirals kept Charles Barkley only one week before trading him to the
Hounds of Rebound for Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson. 
  Not to be outdone, the Die Hards then picked up the services of Karl
Malone, trading away Kevin Willis, Kenny Anderson, and Sarunius
Marciulonius. This gives the Die Hards the following lineup

G Tim Hardaway
G Clyde Drexler
F Karl Malone
F Dominique Wilkins
C Dikembe Mutumbo
6 Detleph Schremph or Drazen Petrovic

Pretty potent!!!!  We'll see where this takes them. Past those seven
players, there is little to speak of. Injuries killed the Die Hards last
year come playoff time, and Drexler and Wilkins are not known as ironmen...
  The Hounds are now very light at forward, with Christian Leattner and sir
Charles, but no backup *at all*. They also have no trade bait to speak of.
Look for the Hounds to claim J.R. Reid from free-agency, desperately hoping
he comes through in San Antonio.
  The Bricks have stood pat so far, and remain strong. Reggie Lewis is
starting to show some life, and MJ is his normal self. The Jordon foot
injury gave the Bricks a scare, and I see more of the same coming for this
7 man team...
  The Pummelers have been devestated by injuries. Derrick Coleman, Jeff
Malone, and Kevin Johnson have all gone down. And this is the team that
started the year with Magic Johnson! If they don't get healthy soon, they
will be watching the playoffs this year.

Organization: University of North Carolina Extended Bulletin Board Service
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 19:37:13 GMT


Just to be sure, y'all are taking about the DePaul at Louisville game last
night?  That is, when you refer to DePaul and Louisville playing well.

I saw a DePaul team jack up some bad shots and get behind.  I saw Louisville
desperately trying to give the game back at the end.  What was the free
throw percentage for UL?  I saw Rozier get blocked at least 3 times on
moves to the hoop.

DePaul showed grit in fighting back at the end.  Louisville showed some
flashes of good defense and some touch from the outside.  However, my
impression of the game was not of two top 20 teams battling it out but
of two top 40 teams battling it out.

DePaul needs to play more like a team.  Louisville needs to do the same
and learn how to shoot free throws.  A guard who could get the ball to
Rozier in good position would be a plus, too.

Louisville certainly has more potential than DePaul, but DePaul could end up
doing better as long as LeGree is running the show for Crum.


And Denny was doing some weird stuff, too.  Like leaving Rozier on the floor
when DePaul was in foul mode.  Rozier was laying bricks last night from the
line.  Get him out.

I enjoyed the SW Louisiana/LMU game more on ESPN.  SW Louisiana is tough.
