Bobby The Brain
    about
Mike McGirck(sp?): 

She's the only woman I know who has been using a thigh master on her face.

Tony S:

I've always respected the way The Hammer controls the pace of a match. He
slows it down by not moving when the pace gets too high. He is in complete
control of the tempo here... [As greg SLOWLY lumbers toward his opponent].

I have to admit, the quotation from Tony is not exact, but it is real
close. I almost fell off the couch in a fit of uncontrollable laughter
when I heard that one.

On th WWF syndie (Superstars I think) Wince interviewed the Hulksteroid.
It was precious. The way Hulk said he "can't say if this will be my last 
match until I step out of the ring" really had me wanting to buy some 
tickets or get the PPV just in case he decided never to wrestle again.

			NOT!

The interview spot was so cheesy. With McHamnEgger thanking Hulk for
"all of the years... thank you for Hulkamania". Vince must really be 
feeling this one in the pocketbook to lay lines like this on us!

Thtas all. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

Yes... I thought I was the only one that noticedd that.
It could set up a possible face turn again for Michaels.
(And that is something McMahon likes to do.. take a great heel 
and turn them into a wishy-washy face).

It could be set up with Rick, "The Model" Martel, who at one time
a while back (when he began the Modl schtick) called himself the sexiest
man alive. 

These two could battle it out for a while and then have Sherrie 
betray Michaels (because he treats her liek dirt).  I would be mega-POd though
if that were to heppen as the WWF would lose one of its prime heels!

But you know VINCE... anything is possible.

    Wait a second.  Is that scheduled to be on a WWF card, or on a USWA card,
or some other organization.  I haven't heard anything about Iceman coming to 
the WWF.  Seeing how the WWF can use a few good face teams, maybe this would be
a decent idea.  Well, anyway, do you know if Jackson showed or not?

Both Royal and Champion were injured in a car crash in June of 1987.  It

  I would have settled for a few minutes of furious non-stop wrestling.
  Fortunately, my expectations of the match were so low to begin with 
  that Hogan and Sid just had to walk to the ring to put out the expected
  amount of work.  
  
  They did what, on paper, could have been the best match of the show
  first (Michaels-Santana), and that was not very good.  As is usual
  with the WWF, the post-PPV memories are of things that happened outside
  of the context of the wrestling matches.  Paul Ellering's appearance,
  UW's appearance, and Flair kissing Liz to keep the vengeance angle
  alive.

  This show did not a hold a candle to SuperBrawl.  Pillman-Riger alone
  was worth more money.  Oh well, we die-hard fans take what we can get.

I believe that they run at the Thomas and Mack Center, which is on the

Thus, the remark by Curt Hennig during the brodcast a little while back . . .

Vince:  "The only two men to appear in all the WrestleManias . . . the Hulkster
	and that man, El Matador!"

Hennig:  "He's about due to win one, don't you think?"


He loses to Michaels this year, he lost to Da Mountie last year, he jobbed
for the Barbarian the year before, I think he and Martel split as a team against
the Brain Busters the year before that, and past that I can't remember.

Subject: Re: Hogan and steroids: What I'd like to see
Date: 15 Apr 92 03:28:53 GMT


The following is a scenario I'd like to see the WWF play out
if the "Hogan took steroids" story gets any bigger. I don't
expect this to happen, it's just an idea.

While Hogan is taking his time off to make a movie, UW and
Sid fued, culminating in a UW victory at Summerslam. Sid
disappears, gets off the juice, and comes back after the 
Survivor Series considerably smaller. He apologizes to UW
and the fans, explaining that his semi-psychotic behavior
was a side-effect of his steroid usage. He claims that
he is finally straigtened out, and he and UW shake hands.

Hogan runs out, and screams for UW not to accept Justice. When 
UW explains how he believes Sid, and that Hogan would understand
what Sid went through if he, Hogan, would finally quit using
steroids. Hogan goes nuts, and attacks them both.

This sets up a fued between UW and Sid, vs the new heel Hogan
(who the marks now boo, but Hogan is in such denial, he
still poses and babbles about his commandments), and the
only man who believes Hogan when he says he isn't on
drugs, Lex Luger. The fued culminates with a tag-match at
the Royal Rumble, where the heels look good, until the 15
minute mark, when they blow up, and the superior
cardivascular systems of the de-roided UW and Sid (ok, I
know I'm pushing it here) take over, and they pin Hogan.
Luger turns on Hogan. Hogan, realizing the error of his
ways, sheds crocadile tears to the fans and begs their 
forgiveness.

Unfortunately, he gets it. He then goes off the juice for
good, and a much smaller Hogan exacts his revenge against
the roided-up Luger at Wrestlemania IX. At the post-match
in-ring victory celebration, Hogan points to Sid and UW,
and proclaims that he can retire, now that Hulkamania
is in good hands.

Comments? Revisions?

I'm sorry, C Taylor, but I think that the underlined text clearly states that
this was a list for ALL PAY-PER-VIEWS. I took Joe's last statement about the

broadcast PPV's on tv.....

Flair did clean jobs for Von Erich, Rhoades, Garvin, and Sting, and
maybe Race also in losing the title. I don't know why this would
