Summary: The final lineup that will be used at Dreamcard V.
Date: 16 Apr 92 02:47:17 GMT
Organization: Oregon State University


The following is the final lineup for Dreamcard V:  the Rising Sun, coming
to you in the next week or so from the Tokyo EggDome in Japan.  I will post
this article one last time the day I actually put the results out.  The
format will be as a two-parter.  The first part has the bulk of the matches,
and the second part will be the FWF part (the bulk of the bandwidth, if you
will.  :-).  The lineup goes as follows . . .

RSPWF World Heavyweight Championship (the REAL World Championship :-)

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

RSPWF World Jobber Championship

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

Mega-face vs. mega-face

HULK HOGAN			vs.		STING

Newly returned to American wrestling . . .

THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR		vs.		THE GREAT MUTA

Exclusively on Dreamcard!

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

Squeegie match--the two men will be tied at the wrists with a squeegie
suspended from the midpoint of the rope, for use as a weapon by either man.

SID JUSTICE			vs.		BRIAN PILLMAN

Fastest squash match.  The two men will each be placed against the Iron
Mustafa and the "Mighty" Hercules.  The man who can squash the two opponents
in the quickest amount of total time wins the match.

THE UNDERTAKER			vs.		BIG VAN VADER

For the RSPWF North American Bandwidth Championship:

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

And in the main event for Part I, the RSPWF World Bandwidth Championship,
laughing face vs. monster heel, in what likely will be a bloody war:

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


And, for Part II . . .


World Champion vs. World Champion!  Title for title! 

JOHN GIRDER {with the Magician}		vs.		DOCTOR DEATH

(EMWA World Heavyweight Champion)		(FWF World Heavyweight Champion)


There is the final lineup for DREAMCARD V:  THE RISING SUN, coming to you
on APRIL 22nd from the Tokyo EggDome, exclusively on rec.sport.pro-wrestling.

Snake and Sid had an aborted fued before Sid got injured before the
Survivor Series last year. The injury was explained to marks as
being Jake's fault, and because Sid was out, Vince had to persuade
Savage to come back into the ring.

The point I'm trying to make is that any mark who remembers the Warrior
has to remember that Jake "almost killed him" before he left. To
have either UW or Sid forget about Jake completely strains 
credibility for even the marks.

By the way, one more word about Jake. Most that posted pointed out
how Jake loses every fued now. If you look at the outcome of a
fued as who does the most damage to whom, then Jake clearly
killed Savage. Jake ruined the wedding reception, he slapped
Elizabeth, he had the cobra bite Savage, and DDT'd him three times
on a PPV. Savage winning a string of matches and breaking his nose
doesn't compare.

Does anybody else view a fued this way?

Trust me,

I don't know if this has already been posted or what, but I saw a couple of
interesting things on the GWF today.

The Coast to Coast Connection of John Tatum and Rod Price lost the GWF
tag-team championship to the team of Scott Putski and Terry "Garvin" Simms.
The match was hair vs. belts, while Putski's original partner, Gary Young
was unable to compete because of an injury.

Also, that annoying announcer, Craig Johnson, announced at the end of the
show that after two years of work for the USWA and GWF, this was his last show,
and Joe Pedicino would be announcing next time.

Does anybody know when this match oroginally took place?

        Who has held the second most and third most?
        NOTE: Consider only the currently active WCW/NWA and WWF belts (i.e.
              WCW/NWA World & World tag, US & US tag, WCW/NWA TV, WWF World
              & tag, and IC)

        HINT: The top guy has 10 reigns while #2 has 9 and #3 has 8.

         1. Bill King
         2. George Emmons
         3. Dominic Macika (even though he thought Flair only had 9 reigns)

        The following had all 3 guys right, but in the wrong order:
         1. Liam Kelly
         2. Francois Laramee
         3. Matthew Kaufman

        others that got at least 2 guys in the right spots:

         2. Stilt Man
         3. Brian Wawczak



    2.  There have only been three WWF tag team champions which have sucessfully

I think what you're missing here is a difference in the nature of boxing and 
wrestling.  Generally, most small guys have vastly more skill than the big 
guys (because they need it to be believable in the business), and a small 
guy can use moves like hip-tosses and arm-drags which have an effect 
proportionate to your opponent's size (ie. the bigger they are, the harder 
they fall).  In boxing, however, the only tthing that affects the damage you 
blows do is where they hit (and how flush they are), and how strong you 
are.  I'd say that the last one is the most important here.  A big guys left-
hook can only be absorbed by another big guy's trapezious (sp?) muscles, 
while a small guy's left hook would be a glancing blow to a big guy.  Such 
is not the case with a figure-four leglock (for example).

Is that what you're trying to say, Herb?

I think you're seeing too much in this (regardless of Jake's future
plans)  When Jake was a face, he'd wait for the fans to cheer, and then
give the guy a DDT. Now he's a heel, the fans still want to see the DDT,
and he doesn't do it, so the fans hate him more.  I don't think it has
anything to do with WCW.
