Moon-Taylor was scrapped so they could fill in the empty spots in the Rumble
and bring it up to 30 men. There never was a tag title match! DiBiase
was one of the first participants announced for the Rumble.

But this is different.  Hogan was known for his strength, not his wrestling
ability.  Hart is being put over as a wrestler: "exellence of execution,"
and "the greatest WWF World Champion ever."  Yokozuna is just another rite
of passage for him.  He's proven himself against wrestlers (Flair,
Michaels) and against strength (Ramon) and against the smaller big men
(Bigelow).  Now to really prove that he is the greatest WWF champ ever, he
has to do something like what Hogan did.  Hogan beat Studd, Bundy, and
Andre, so Hart has to beat Yokozuna and possibly "Gonzalez."  Once that is
out of the way, Hart can get back to defending his title against more
normal wrestlers.

It's Kensuke Sasaki, Hase's former partner.  Now he wears face paint

his face paint comes off, like how The Great Muta turns back into Keiji
Muto and stops cheating...   ;-)

Even if they do show it, it'll probably be just clips.  Or, it may be to get 
Hawk and Power over to the WCW fans--which is weird, since I think the match 
was a DDQ.  You know they won't be selling this for Rick and Scott...

Sigh, the uneducated masses.  

Carlos Colon - real name, Carlitos Colon, age 47, been wrestling for
27 years.  He's spent most of this time working for and running the
WWC in Puerto Rico, where he's held the WWC Universal title 10 times
between 1982-1992.  He is also rumored/believed to have been involved
in the murder of Bruiser Brody, which puts him at the bottom of my
list of birthday party invitations.

Genichiro Tenryu - real name, Ganichiro Shimade, age 42, been wrestling
for 16 years.  Was one of All-Japan's top wrestlers from ~83 til
he left in 89 (?) to help form the SWS.  He can be a very good wrestler
to watch, but his North American appearances to date (NWA in 88, 
Wrestlemania in 90 and the Rumble) have been disappointing.

I can vouch for that; I was in the 82nd for a while in the 80s and he'd be
dead for referring to one of us as USMC (Uncle Sam's Misguided Children).  
Also if he referred to us as Screaming Eagles (the 101st Airborne)...

BUT, I think the gimmick of Kirchner, along with Don Kernodle, was "trainees"
of the alleged USMC drill Sgt. Slaughter.  Since Marine drills don't train
Army troops, I'd suspend belief and say Kirchner was "playing" a jarhead...er,
Marine.

Something that also adds credence to the idea that Kirchner was at least
*playing* a Marine is that he has tights I have seen in the NWA, WWF and
GWF that are red and gold (USMC colours), not black and gold (Army colours)
or red, white and blue (82nd's "division" colours; it's the colour of the
"AA" [All-American, not Arn Anderson] shoulder patch). 

I thought Kirchner played semi-pro football or something, anyway.  But I
guess that's maybe a post-militia hobby...

Bryan Adams also manages to hold down a second career as a rock star,

and the wimpfest "Everything I do I do For you" (reminises about working
for Vince). It has also been reported here on the net that Crush also
moonlights as a country-western singer, thus his finishing move is
the "Achy Breaky Head".
Ruomour has it that Bryan is going to form a band with fellow
wrestler/musicians Sting and Sid Vicious.
It's true; trust me.

I just saw an ad on a local TV station for a new device called the "Macho 
Machine".  Being personally endorsed by "OOOOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEAAAAAH" himself.
The offical title of it is the WWF Macho Machine or something like that.. 

If you have seen the ads for "NordicFlex Gold" which is competing with 
SoloFlex, this machine is similar to the NordicFlex, except its about $500
cheaper.  I thought the ad for it was pretty funny, which shows this wimp
getting sand kicked in his face, and then this same guy (I think) working out
on the "Macho Machine" while Randy rants and raves, basically repeating what
the announcer is saying, except adding an appropriate "OOH YEAH!!!" where 
appropriate, and at the end, the wimp is pumped up, and pushes the original
Bully over.

Watch for this one.. It'll probably get hyped on the shows, along with 
Ico-Pro, both of which I'm sure what all the wrestlers use to get so pumped up
(YEAH RIGHT!)
