Just watch the whole Flair-Steamboat feud (both title changes in there),
to see Steamer in action. The Rude-Steamboat and Savage-Steamboat feuds
were pretty good, too (and to some extent, Roberts-Steamboat). 

There's lots out there to show that Rick can work.

....As mentioned before, this story is mixed up but true and shows that 
     McMahon has gimmicks in the closet.  Another example was awhile ago
     when wrestler Ned Brady (now wrestling as The Possessor in Eddie 
     Mansfield's IWF) used Repo Man as his name.  McMahon had the name
     trademarked even before Barry Darsow began using the moniker and 
     forced Brady to give up the name.

     However there are examples to the contrary.  The Undertaker gimmick
     was most likely thought up specificly for Mark Calaway. However the
     IWCCW had their own Undertakers, so McMahon asked the Undertakers 
     to drop their name. In return McMahon booked them on some WWF shows
     as Double Trouble.

Yeah, hey, how come?  Everybody can tell that they don't even *look*

Hmmmmm, let's see, Hercules is a WWF persona and Super Invader is a WCW
persona and most marks will not know that they are one and the same and
for the most part marks buy PWI therefore there is no problem in listing
them as different wrestlers.  This does raise an interesting point,
what with all of the federation jumping, should any listing of wrestlers
on the basis of ability take into account the federation in which they
wrestled?  For example, Ricky Steamboat is generally better in the WCW
than his recent stint in the WFF.  This would probably be appropriate
for any listing that spanned a long period of time (e.g., 5-10 years).

I'm watching 'Wrestling Superstars' right now, and they have not
acknowledged Ric Flair's championship victory.  In fact, Mc$ keeps
alluding to Ric's chance of winning the title is about zero (???)
Ric has called a press conference for the next show, here he will 
make an announcement, hinting about 'plan B'.  Mc$ baits Hennig about
Flair dumping Heenan and/or Hennig, but Hennig just denies it.
Hennig hints he and Heenan may dump Flair.  Just -when- do you figure
Mc$ will tell us Flair's the champion?

Hmmmmmm.

Allegedly, McMahon pulled the plug on the WBF because the buy rate
for the WBF championships was lower than that of the UWF Beach
Brawl!

Especially if Vince gets Shango and Smith to play along with it...

Shango:  ...but all of them will learn.  <Takes out newt.>  This was once
	 a man, a disbeliever.  He mocked Papa Shango, and said that if my
	 power was real, I could turn him into a newt.  But I used my dark

	 Bwah-ha-ha-ha!

Smith:  <Runs in, hits Shango a few times, Shango runs out, Smith is left

	NO!!!!!

Vince, bewildered:  Can it be?  Can even Shango, the dark voodoo priest,
	have the awesome power to turn a man into a lowly reptile?

Heenan:  In this case it wasn't much of a change.  Ha-ha-ha.

Camera pans out, with Smith crying for the newt he's cuddling.

All this without even using the name Bret Hart....

Hmm.  A trick question.  I can come up with *lots* of names of people Ali 
boxed.  But, for wrestling, I can only think of two: Monsoon and Inoki (and 
I had forgotten about Monsoon until reading this post).  

On another, slightly related note, on the tape "Andre the Giant" (or some 
such), it was stated that Monsoon was the only person to wrestle with Ali 
and box with Andre.  The boxing match was shown.  It was pretty sad...

	Just another bit o' (admittedly poor) nostalgia from the Johnster.

Boy, are you confused.  Everbody knows the the Ultimate Warrior *is*
Steve DiSalvo who *used* to be Scott Hall. (or is it the other way
around?)

Randy Savage is Lanny The Genius Poffo's brother (note: trick joke).

And they're all Zahorian androids programmed by John Price.

Ouch.

	The WWF has come to the conclusion (probably) that the new talent
pool in north america is shrinking and that smaller promotions can be
worked with in ways that benifit both the small promotion and the WWF.

	The other advantage for the WWF is that they can give various 
wrestlers who have been overexposed/overused (i.e. the sheepwackers)
a rest from the national spotlight and national television without firing
them or leaving them sitting not working.
