Last night I saw an ad for this Friday's 20/20.  It mentioned
some woman who is aparently a body builder and questioned
whether her physique was natural or not.  They may have shown
a shot of a hypodermic needle, I don't recall right now.

Could it be that 20/20 will be doing something on steroids this Friday?
Could they also tie it into the WWF story that have not shown yet?

  Well, I went to my tape yet again, and the Masked Skyscraper was 
  substantially (read: a couple to several inches) shorter than
  Mean Mark.  He was roughly equal in height to Animal or Hawk.
  This is clear in any of his spots with Animal or Hawk.  That
  would put the (non-)mystery man at a height of just around 6',
  not at all contradicting the fact that Enos was under the hood.

  WrestleWar '90 took place just before the arrival of Enos & Bloom
  into the NWA as the masked Minnesota Wrecking Crew II, in a special
  deal that the NWA worked out with Verne Gagne (wherein his world
  champs would job under masks for the NWA champs), and this early 
  appearance was a special favour from Verne to help solve Spivey's 
  not working the show.

Johnny B. Badd, aka Marc Mero, came to the Wanderer's Rest Humane
Association animal shelter in Canastota, NY to do a fundraiser on
Wednesday, 8 April 1992.  Badd is from Liverpool, NY (near Syracuse)
and his sister works at the animal shelter.  According to the local
paper, Badd hoped to raise $5,000 by selling autographed photos and
raffle tickets for a robe and a t-shirt.  From the size of the crowd,
I doubt if he came close to that amount.

As things turned out, I didn't get to ask Badd any "insider" questions.
There were people behind us in line and he spent a lot of time fussing
over John, so I didn't want to impose further.  He seemed to be trying
to stay in character anyway -- at least with the people in front of us.

Here's some background on Badd/Mero from the ever-helpful Syracuse
Sub-Standard:

	Mero graduated in 1979 from Liverpool High School where he
	played hockey and football.  He boxed in amateur bouts
	throughout the state and was a state golden gloves boxing
	champion.  He made the U.S. Boxing team in 1981.

If anyone wants to ask me any questions, it might be best to use email.

    Well now, I don't know.  LOD have been going out of their way to threaten
the Beverly Bros. in their first interviews back in the WWF.  On Prime Time 
Monday night they geared their whole interview toward them.  As stupid as this
pairing is, it seems like that will be the program. As for Undertaker, he is
still matched with Jake Roberts at several post-WM8 house shows.  I don't know
hat will become of this, but there is STILL no confirmation that Jake has jumped
or will soon be jumping to WCW.  Stay tuned...

    This news I got from an unimpeachable source right here in Orchard Park, NY,

by a WWF face.  The two will wrestle at SummerSlam '92.  Vince has bought Luger

Yep...Sean, Otto, and I were on #Wrestling with Hamlet (Macho, the guy
who did play-by-play) and two marks. We were discussing what we thought
were the greatest matches of all time, and one of the marks said that
his pick was Hogan vs. Slaughter at WM7.

*ROTFL*

Another mark story is from WM8: I told some mark that Hogan was wrestling
Savage for the belt at Madison Square Garden in four weeks, and that the
undercard featured a WWF Women's title tournament featuring Sherri, Liz,
Wendi Richter and Rockin' Robin. The mark was like "REALLY?!1?! WILL IT
BE ON TV?!~??!!?!??!!!?!?!?", to which I responded "Yep. On NBC." Then
he's like "WOW!!!!!! I GOTTA TELL MY FRIENDS!!!"

Let it be known before I start, I am one of the biggest heel fans of all time
and in no way do I wish to be mixed up with a mark of any sort (bring back
the original horsemen...wishful thinking)


Kip Frey, listen up. A golden oppurtunity for one of the best heels of all
time is pasing you by, his name is Ron Simmons. Yep, ol Mr. Florida State
should have been a heel starting with a membership in the Varsity Club
(herd blew it on that one). Then, DOOM, great team with the masks, then they
got turned into total pussys for the Steiners (keep track with me, that's
mistake #2). Now he's a bad mark at best, teaming him with losers like
Big Josh and JYD (#3,and if you count Ranger Ross,that's 4)


Not even the decency to put him in the WARGAMES? (5)What were you thinking?
Replace that loser who gets his dad, or his dad's old friends to fight
his battles (hint: his name is Dustin). They should have had an elimination
match, because Ron can beat the shit out of Beanpole Rhodes (yeah, sell the
Bionic Elbow bullshit so I believe it)


Better yet, make him a member of the DANGEROUS ALLIANCE (continuing the "drop
Stupid Steve Austin" campaign) At least give him a decent partner again, like
Eddie Gilbert (heh heh) or maybe.....JAKE ROBERTS (beautiful). C'mon, Ron
has talent and power, or maybe he belongs in the WWF (hmmm........). Just
quit using him like he's Pistol Pez Whatley (Shaska, whatever, I used to like
old Pez-head).

  Any thoughts?

"Mark" seems to be the accepted insult, just because no one really thinks that 
anyone is.  Would "dipstick," "sh*thead," "f*ckface," "nimnull," "dimtwit," or
"flywheel" be any better?  Perhaps, perhaps not.  Some are even more insulting
than "mark" actually.  I suppose the non-partisan "hosehead" or "fanboy" might
be used, but they don't have that wrestling feel to them.  (Well, okay, maybe
"fanboy" does. :-)

ObW:  Forgot to mention, Paul "Mr. 1derful" Orndorff and Hector Guerrero (sp?) 
      are also wrestling in Smoky Moutain Wrestling.

Mainly because in the WCW, he wouldn't have to worry about what they might
do at the end if he let them book him for a clean job.  In the WWF, Flair has
to watch over his shoulders for a smear job, as a campaign against WCW.  Thus,
he doesn't know what they'll book him for if he'll job cleanly, so he uses his
negotiating oomph to see to it that he doesn't have to.

You're confusing things here.  The original Fantastics were Bobby Fulton
and Tommy ROGERS.  The "New" Fantastics were Bobby and JACKIE Fulton.

If I remember correctly, the circumstances at that time (can't remember 
exactly what) forced them to go their separate ways.  They still teamed 
in Japan after that, I would assume because Baba wasn't interested in 
using the green Jackie.
