    A couple things.  The Moondogs seem to have free reign to brutalize everyone
in the USWA quite freely.  Tom Pritchard could not have been too happy about
getting beaten bloody in the ring.  This practice of the Moondogs being 
especially vicious almost amounts to shooting, so far as I can tell.
    Enter the StarRiders.  If they beat Larry Booker severely in a shoot, it
may have been in retaliation for past beatings inflicted upon them or others.
Perhaps other USWA wrestlers got the StarRiders to do this for them.
    Or is this whole deal just another clever USWA angle?
    With all this talk of shoots lately, I wish we got the USWA program here
in Buffalo.  It is somehow comforting to see that there are still promotions
where this old-style type of wrestling is alive and well.

Isn't Ferrigno on the cover of the new WBF magazine (perhaps available
on newsstands this Tuesday!.  I saw something about the mag on the
syndies this week, and I'm pretty sure he was on the cover.  The talk of
him being out has been for at least a couple of weeks now hasn't it??
It seems like they could have made a new cover if he's gone.

Summary: The final lineup for Dreamcard V from the Tokyo EggDome.
Date: 13 Apr 92 23:31:40 GMT
Organization: Oregon State University

Greetings to all those who were wondering if I'd forgotten about Dreamcard
in the last week or so since I last posted.  The answer is, no.  I was simply
putting it on a back burner until I could arrange something that I think will
be quite monumental.


The lineup . . .

RSPWF World Heavyweight Championship:

"NATURE BOY" RIC FLAIR		vs.	JUSHIN "THUNDER" LIGER
	(champion)				(challenger)

Ric Flair was beaten only for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania; he still
retains the RSPWF World Championship . . . (dare I say it?) the REAL World
Championship.  :-)


RSPWF World Jobber Championship:

"RUGGED" RONNIE GARVIN		vs.	"YOUNG PISTOL" STEVE ARMSTRONG
	(champion)				(challenger)


Mega-face match:

HULK HOGAN			vs.	STING


Newly returned to American wrestling!

THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR		vs.	THE GREAT MUTA


Newly returned exclusively to Dreamcard!

"TOTAL PACKAGE" LEX LUGER	vs.	"MR. PERFECT" CURT HENNIG


Squeegie match!

SID JUSTICE			vs.	BRIAN PILLMAN


For the RSPWF World Bandwidth Championship:

"JOKER" JOHN PRICE		vs.	"FLAMMABLE" PHIL STROMER
	(champion)				(challenger)

RSPWF North American Bandwidth Championship:

"TIDBIT" HERB KUNZE		vs.	"TEASER" JOSEPH AVOLIO
	(champion)				(challenger)


And, just released by the Fictional Wrestling Federation and the
Electronic Mail Wrestling Alliance:

The EMWA World Heavyweight Champion and the FWF World Heavyweight
Champion will be engaging in a title-for-title matchup!  The winner
of the match between Titan Morgan and Doctor Death will represent
the FWF against the EMWA World Champion, John Girder!  Who is the
REAL World Champion in fantasy wrestling?  It will be decided at
Dreamcard V:  The Rising Sun in the Tokyo EggDome!  Thus, the final
matchup to round out the lineup for Dreamcard V:

JOHN GIRDER			vs. 	THE INVINCIBLE TITAN MORGAN
						or
					   DOCTOR DEATH
(EMWA World Champion)			(FWF World Champion)


It will all come your way no later than April 25th only on rec.sport.pro-
wrestling!  No fewer than the three largest wrestling promotions on internet
access will be represented at Dreamcard V:  The Rising Sun!

   When you look at a list of credentials like this, then watch Brad in the ring
and the great work he does and skill he has, you have to wonder out loud (as I
have in the past) why Armstrong doesn't get a push in WCW.  Obvious lapses into
bad judgement like this are starting to make me wonder if Kip and the boys know
anything about wrestling, or even if they know what they're doing at all.  They
need to move faster in WCW to acquire talent, and they need more consistent 
booking.  Think about it.  Where the WWF has half a dozen legitimate world title
candidates (Hogan, Flair, Justice, Warrior, Savage, Luger) WCW has but two 
(Sting and Rude).  Rude might even be pushing it a bit.  He's a great US champ
but a world champ?  If Sting and Rude left WCW, they would be in a serious heap
of shit.

How about Muracco taking the IC belt from Moralas. Haku and Andre
crushed Demolition for the tag belts. The Wild Somoans cleanly
pinned Jules Strongbow of the Strongbow bros. and Adrian Adonis
(teaming with Dick Murdoch) got a sneaky, but clean roll-up
on Rocky Johnson (teaming with Tony Atlas).

How about Perfect's win in the IC tournament over Santana in the
final? I remember that as clean, although Perfect "cheated" to
get Beefcake out of the Tourney.

Free is a very good price. Trust me.

   Okay, I'll give you that.  That would be pretty strong evidence for a Jake
jump.  But what are the details?  Was he just visiting Dad?  I for one hope he
jumps.  And more evidence: I just watched WWF Prime Time on USA, and I've never
seen them play up a loss so much.  They made it sound like Jake got beat in ten
seconds.  Even Heenan and Perfect were saying how soundly Jake was whipped!

Now.....

   Also on Prime Time tonight they showed several clips from WM8.  Glad I didn't
pay $29.95 for it when they gave the result of every match on the card only 24
hours after it ended.  They seemed to be setting up a Warrior/Sid angle with
interviews in which they berated each other.  BTW, Hellwig did an interview.
It's definitely him, end of discussion.  I forgot just how stupid his interviews
were.  Also, they showed a clip of Papa Shango in Sid Justice's dressing room
before the Sid/Hogan match and an interview with Ellering and LOD in an alley
setting up an angle ith the Beverly Bros.  Huh?  What a stupid Pairing that is.
No word whatsoever on the Centerfold or on a title strip for Savage, although
Perfect and Heenan pointed out that Savage held Flair's trunks for the pin.
    Top off-beat highlights of WM8: Skinner scrocking tobacco juice in Owen 
Hart's mouth and face (Yuck!) and Mr. Perfect lifting Savage's leg to kick him
in the nuts after the match--that was classic stuff.  
    Incidentally, I have this lousy habit of givng credit where credit is due.
Congratulations to Tom McDonell (the guy who only types in capital letters off
to the right) for correctly pointing out the return of Ultimate Warrior and the
event "no one would believe anyway" while the RSPW so-called resident "experts"
(you know who you are) flamed him.  You're right.  I wouldn't have believed
the whole Papa Shango deal either.

Wasn't he the one that sunk all the $$$ into the GWF to get it started?
Figures I heard (don't know how accurate or inflated they were) was around
$1,000,000.

Did Joe sell the org to someone else or will the GWF just fold?

The UHF station that used to carry GWF around here dropped it a few weeks
ago, and since I stopped remembering to tape ESPN afternoons I haven't
seen any matches in a while.  I'm sad to hear Joe won't be with the GWF
anymore, as he seemed to have a lot of good ideas... even if Vince kept
stealing all his talent.  WCW snapped up Cactus Jack and Scott Anthony,
but from what Joe has said (at least on the former) he doesn't hold any
grudges against WCW of Cactus, as Cactus is making a LOT of $$$ for his
two-year contract.

If the GWF is folding, I'm doubly sad to hear that.  We need an
alternative to the WhifF and although Kip seens to be doing an excellent
job since he took over (though someone recently said he isn't the one
behind most of the changes (??)) it would be nice to have a third
alternative.

> Eddie Gilbert will be finished by the

Hmmm... I would have expected him to jump to WCW if either of The Big Two
(especially since that's where his wife works).  Any rumors about Madusa
jumping to the WWF as well?  When is her contract up?

I know the WhifF has been actively pursuing Paul E., but I hadn't heard
anything about Madusa...
