* Rick Rude looks strange without the moustache. Is there anything serious
  between him and Madusa? Last I heard she was either married to or getting
  a divorce from Eddie Gilbert. (is there a woman in wrestling has hasn't
  married, besides maybe the Fabulous Moolah?)

* I finally saw Max Moon this weekend. Don't know what you guys think, but
  he's definitely a cheap Liger impersonation. The forward roll he did on
  Spicolli could hurt someone pretty bad if he screws up.

* WHat are those scars on Jake Roberts' face?

* Remember how badly everyone panned Van Hammer, until you finally (and
  grudgingly) admitted he is making an effort to improve? I think the same
  will eventually go for Erik Watts. He did Curt Henning's suplex on 
  Michael Hayes and it looked pretty good for someone so green. Maybe daddy
  gave him this job, but Cowpie Bill didn't get his son the college 
  quarterback position. Be patient. 

* Damien DeMento? Oh brother. The most notable thing I can say about him is
  that none of us heard about him coming. Who is he? Mondo Kleen?

* When was the last time someone used a swinging neckbreaker as a finishing
  hold? Owen Hart got screwed over this weekend. As if a series of lame
  partners isn't a slap in the face enough.

* Interesting video on Bret Hart. I got a kick out of the old home movies
  of him being taught the moves by Dad. Anyone know who that was he pinned?

* I took the advice given here and visited a Japanese market today. I can't
  imagine how out of place I looked. A 6' American with brown hair and a 
  black leather jacket must is not something they must see every day. 
  Anyway, I spoke to a clerk, who said he liked wrestling also, but he had
  nothing from Japan. I had to take his word for it, since I can't read
  Japanese. :-)

     Money Inc's victory over the Natural Disasters got me thnking of
a trivia question: What was the last team (before Money Inc) to regain
the WWF tag-team titles from the team which ORIGINALLY beat them for
the titles? I think I know the answer, but I want to see what 
everybody else thinks.

He had an insurance settlement based on a career ending injury, so even

I'm not sure if EQ leaving is definite. One reason why Disasters
dropped the belt is because Typhoon just became a dad and he took some
time off.

They are doing false break ups at the houses with Kamala, Dr W and
Kim Chee.


At the TV tapings, they are setting up Finkel as a wrestler.
First, it was mentioned that the Fink shoved the Doctor off the podium
during a Mean Gene segment. At the last tapings, Kamala chopped
the FInk and splashed him twice. They tossed his carcass onto a streacher
and he fell off. On the way to the back, he fell off again. Meltzer
said that they may not air any of this footage.

Also, a Sensational SHerry face turn is being scripted.

I have to partially disagree here.  How often does Choshu or Hansen or
Tsuruta job?  I think there is an "elite" in Japan that are protected
from jobs, sit just isn't as big as the group of people who avoid
jobbing here in NA.

	Sorry Ben, as it is today, there has been five versions of the MX.  The Lane/Eaton was just the most pushed.  about the same time as Lane & Eaton, Conrey had teamed in the UWF with some one who's name I forget, as the MX.

As far as I know, Sting has at least another year at 700K left on his

he declined.

Sorry if this is already known. I haven't been able to poll for some time
and it may be in the news I'm going to receive. The following was mentioned
on GEnie.

Jimmy Garvin is in the WWF. He's done heel-ish interviews wearing a suit and
tie.

Hawk (of LOD fame) will make his debut in New Japan some time this week.

Bob Backlund's first program will be with Rick Martel.

Not to be confused with Samu, the guy that used to the Tonga Kid is
named Sam Fatu.  I'm not sure if he's supposed to be Samu or Fatu now, but
I know he's not Afa (why is he the only one who speaks in interviews?  Sam

True enough, but all the ferderations are guilty of the same crime.  For
instance, at this years Great American Bash, Rick Steamboat covered Brian
Pillman and the ref counted 1.... 2.... thr... no, 2 count.  AND THEN pillman
lifted his shoulder.  (This was the Kolof&Steamboat -vs- Pillman&Liger bout -
before Pillman turned heel)

Just proves once again that despite contary belief, WCW is just as bad (if not
worse) than the WWF.

I'd also like to see Madusa in the strong-arm tournament.  It's a
fact that women often have a leverage angle on men due to shorter
arms and Madusa's arms are plenty strong.  It would be a neat angle
to have Madusa compete and even win a few rounds.
