But why would someone ostsensibly in love with himself wear a mask to
hide his wonderful looks?

I still say there's more than an outside Narci will be either El
Gigante or Jim Garvin.

Oh, is THAT who that was spread-eagled in the ring?  I caught maybe the last 10

Well I hope he doesn't wrestle at the clash.(I mean show up and go into the

Cactus Jack could replace him.  I just caught the end of the tbs sunday

Vacation and a CPU failure have been resopnsible for the absence of my
weekly updates of CWUSA (Championship Wrestling USA, based in Portland
Oregon). Vacation is over and the blown CPU has been replaced.

I left town December 23 and spent Christmas and New Years in Sun Valley,
Idaho. (The skiing was fantastic!) When I returned, the machine that 
links our site to the Internet blew a CPU. I've been unable to post
until today.

Here's where I stand on the CWUSA updates:

	-I was in Portland in late December and I caught a CWUSA house
	 show. I'm almost finished writing up my match report. I'll post
	 that within the week.

	-I've got two CWUSA TV shows on tape. I'm almost finished with
	 the summary for each show. I'll post the summaries within the
	 week.

Unfortunately, it looks like CWUSA has lost its cable deal. For the past
few months, Prime Sports has been showing CWUSA on Fridays at 11PM. But
there was no listing for the weeks of Dec 27 - Jan 2 and Jan 3 - Jan 9.
It looks like CWUSA is off the air. 

Does anybody know what happened to CWUSA's cable deal?

  I am doing this from memory, as wrestling was on last night from 12:30
to 2:30 at home.  ANyways, I'll just give the highlights:


  Kamala wrestled and was yelled at by Kim Chee and Whippleman.  Slick runs
down to ringside and reminds Kamala he is not an Animal.  Kim Chee hits Slick,
Kamala slaps his stomach (an apparent sign of disapproval) and nails Kim Chee
and chases Harvey (Whipplemen, not the rabit).

  The Clown announces his name is Doink and he doesn't really like kids.  He
had a sling on his arm, though he didn't say why.

  Royal Rumble will feature Bret vs Ramon, Shawn Michaels vs Marty Janetty (both
matches for the belts), Bossman vs Bigelow, and the Steiners vs the Beverlys.
Also the RR, where the winner gets a world title shot at WM.  Notable new guys
in the RR are Carlos Colon, Tenryu, and Jerry Lawler, as well as a host of the
other top WWF stars.

  Bobby Heenen will unvail a man named "Narcissus" at the RR.  Supposedly a
new heel to face Mr. Perfect.

  Most exciting was the debut of the Steiners on Superstars.  After a so so
debut on Challenge, the Steiners pulled out the stops for this one.
First, a review of the Challenge debut:

  No real exciting moves, as Rick did a steinerline and Scott did a belly to
belly suplex (a regular one, like everyone else does, and Monsoon promptly
called a gutwrench suplex). They won when Scott went to the top rope and DDT'd
a guy off Rick's shoulders. The Steiner's most lame finisher IMHO.  You could
hear a fan yelling for the Frankensteiner.

  Superstars debut: Much better. Even a new move, as Scottpicked a guy up in
a vertical suplex then ran him into the corner. Scott did a Tatanka slam off the
second rope, and Rick did a belly to belly off the second rope.  The finisher
had Scott do a tilt-a-whirl slam followed by a Frankensteiner that missed
slightly but still looked impressive.

  Like I said, this was from memory, next week I hope to try and get these
back to full fledged reports.

Dino Bravo did not bring a title with him. He was usually the
International Hvwt. Champ, here in Montreal. When Vince first 
started promoting cards in Montreal, he used to have mixed cards
where some of our local wrestlers would wrestle some of his guys.
Bravo also made a few appearances at WWF events (wrestlemania or
some such) and was introduced as the "Canadian Champion". Eventually
he hired Bravo, King Tonga, and Rick Martel, and a couple of
others away. These guys were never over anywhere but around here,
but I guess if you take the cour of talent from a district it killed
local wrestling, and Vince got Montreal (i really miss Milt
Avruskin, and George Cannon). This is a real shame, because our local
stuff was quite good, and a lot of "Big Names" from the indie
circuit would come up here.

BTW, is Headshrinker SAMU the same guy who was the Great Samu in
International?, He was the guy who replaced Dino when he was sick
for a while, then was working for both part time.

     I don't remember when it happened but it was in the day of the
old UWF. Sting and Rick Steiner were wrestling Chris Adams and Terry
Taylor in, I believe, a tournament final for the tag-team belts. Eddie
Gilbert managed Sting/Steiner and at the end of the match, Sting was
holding Adams (I believe) and Gilbert tried to hit him with his boot
but missed, hit Sting, who was pinned to give the belts to Adams/Taylor.
The UWF merged with the NWA soon after that because I remember on a 
NWA Clash or PPV (don't remember which one) in which Sting and Steiner
were on opposite 6-man teams and Sting went after Steiner by diving
through the ropes to the arena floor. Yeah, I know Liger and a lot of
people do that every day, but this was the first time I remember seeing
it, and it was exciting! (Like when I saw the Frankensteiner for the
first time!)

Smoky Mountain Wrestling is great but it is worth clearing up a couple of 
misconceptions. If you really don't like seeing OLDER wrestlers, SMW is NOT for
you. Most of their wrestlers have been around for years and years. This is NOT 
an indy where you send people like Erik Watts to mature. They would have no use
for him. Jim Cornette has picked up people like Stan Lane, Tom Prichard, Ricky 
Morton, Robert Gibson, Paul Orndorff, Ron Garvin, Kevin Sullivan etc. These are
not spring chickens. They are vetrans who know how to put on a good show.

I've noticed that lots of people have jubilantly posted up the
big "news" that Van Vader has defeated Ron Simmons for the WCW
world title...I'll bet that was quite a refreshing announcement
to see on TV!

Unfortunately, we usually get the Observer out here on the 
Thursday or Friday before the press date (i.e., I got the 1/4
issue on 12/31)...and good ol' Dave writes something to the
effect of "by the time most of you read this, Van Vader will have
defeated Ron Simmons for the WCW title...blah,blah,....by now 
everyone's admitted the experiment failed...blah,blah" 

However, and I'm surprised I didn't see this here on the net, there
are some *serious* rumours (not just in the Observer, even though Meltzer
mentions it, but among friends of mine in NY) that Ric Flair is all
but released from the rest of his WWhiFf contract, relegated to mid-
carding, and could be back in WCW by mid-year.  (Please, God, YESSSSSSSSSSS!)

I figure the connection here is that Simmons needed to either drop the
title to a heel now or keep the strap until Summer, and we see what Watts
opted for.  Most likely, Vader'll lose it to Sting, who'll lose it to
Flair (in his jubilant comeback).  We can only hope.        ;-)
