 - "Spin the wheel.  Make the deal."  Anybody else get the idea that
   that video was expensive enough that we'll see it a million times
   before the end of October? 

 - Ric Flair defeated Randy Savage to become the WWF World champ for
   the second time on Tuesday night in Hershey, Pa.  They played up
   Savage's injury from SummerSlam as one might expect and there was
   lots of controversy (at least, lots of things for Vince to yell
   about while commentating).  Savage "had Flair beat" with a Boston
   Crab, but Heenan came in the ring and made the save.  Savage got
   dumped to the outside, where Razor Ramon made a surprise appearance
   to work on Savage's knee.  Once back in the ring, Savage was put
   in the Figure Four by Flair, eventually collapsing from the pain
   and getting pinned.  This seems to set up Savage vs. Ramon and
   Flair vs. Warrior.  

 - Fans of the Jr. Heavyweights may be in a great position unless
   somebody screws things up in WCW.  At last night's Clash of Champions,
   the title was declared vacant, with Bill Watts saying that a 
   tournament would be organized in the future.  They also set up
   a possible final with Brian Pillman turning heel and slapping
   Brad Armstrong.  Although there are some duds in the WCW 
   Lightheavyweight division, with Pillman, Armstrong, Jushin Riger,
   the newly-signed Chris Benoit, and maybe even Lightning Kid 
   involved in the tourney, things could be very, very good.

 - Reportedly, Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton will not be given new 
   contracts when their current ones run out at the end of the year.
   They are supposedly already talking with Japanese promoters and
   Smokey Mountain Wrestling.  Paul E. Dangerously's contract still
   runs for just over a year and a half, but it's no secret that
   Watts doesn't want to use him any more, as evidence by the erosion
   of the Dangerous Alliance.  The Steiners will also have to take
   a big pay cut if they stay on in the new year.  With them jobbing
   for Arn & Bobby this weekend on WTBS, one wonders.

 - It's expected that after working the October tour for New Japan 
   Big Van Vader will be brought into WCW full time.  

 - I've seen a few more goodies on video from the batch of old Japanese
   stuff I've been watching.  I'll post a summary in the next day or
   two.  Also, I've revamped my video list and mailed it out to several
   people that I've traded with sporadically.  I've included the short
   list of my videos below - it will grow by about 30 tapes next week!
   (Including my syndie tapes and the stuff that will come next week,
   I will be well over the 200 video mark.  Yikes!)
     If anybody reading this is interested in video trading and seeing 
   the match lists for my videos, drop me some e-mail and I'll send you 
   the detailed list and we'll see what we can do for trading.  

                                                             Herb... 
Here's the list: 
----------
- "*" in column 4 means that a tape is new since last update.
- This list includes almost everything in my collection.  I still have to
  catalog my tapes of syndies and some miscellaneous stuff.
- If a tape has no "Length" specified, I haven't watched it and, as such,
  there won't be any detailed information for it.
