    Wasn't Van Hamster supposed to be WCW's version of the Ultimate Warrior? You know,
    a steriod ridden power wrestler who spent more time stomping around the ring than
    doing wrestling moves?  (Actually, UW had some good matches, especially against Rick
    Rude at both SummerSlams.)

    I also thought they sent HamsterBrain to wrestling school.  When he made his return,
    it seemed he did a little more mat wrestling, but I haven't been keeping up with WCW
    lately.  Thank gawd they never continued the feud between him and JT Southern.

    To tell you the truth, if he would combine a few more mat wrestling moves with his
    power moves, he'd be as exciting as Ron Simmons.

I have a different question though.

Can someone please provide me with a listing of all holders of the belt
and dates they had them?

WHOA! Now maybe boxing IS a work, but do not use the Tyson case as
your example. For one thing, look at Mike Tyson before the big $$ and
Robin Given got to him. Do they words "went soft/the easy life" mean
anything to you. Tyson used to beg for quarters on the street AFTER
he won the championship because he liked being in touch with the street
This was all before he bought that huge house, married Givens, etc.
Then again, I'm sure some are gonna argue that after Tyson got all
that publicity, the WBF promoters decided they wanted a new champ.
Who knows? The whole concept of judging any sporting events is so open

It's cool to see that one organization still has a champ who's pumped way too much iron and can't wrestle, and the other has a champ who's an excellent ring tactician.

Who would've thought the WWF and WCW would switch their criteria of what a World Champ should
embody.  Vince is trying to bring back wrestling, whereas Cowpie just wants men who can
"hook 'em up" (with a few exceptions).

Opinions?  Flames?  Bring 'em on.

I realize I just erroneously posted a statement that Scott Steiner
took the WCW TV strap from Steve Austin, thus that was Austin's 
last job.

Of course, as the message was posting, it hit me that Austin really
lost the TV title to Ricky Steamboat, who in turn lost it to Steiner.

Sorry.

Question:  Didn't Steiner beat Austin in a later rematch anyway, or
           is the Steamboat match Austin's last TV job?  I think that's
           how Scott got hurt (wrestling Austin).

Haku was WWF tag champ with Andre The Giant from December 1988 to March 1989 
(they lost at WM6 -- if the years are wrong, forgive me.)
 
Despite that, Haku wasn't king.

Pro-wrestling fans,

First of all, please accept my apology for posting this administrative
trivia, but from the complaints I received from this group about Phil
Stromer's posting, I can only conclude it is of sufficiently general
interest to the group.

Phil Stromer's account has been restored. He has promised in writing to
never again post to this group while he has an InfoServ account (this
means he will not post even from another host which has a totally unrelated
account).

After reviewing the complaints, the InfoServ administrators agreed unanimously
that his postings were not appropriate for this group. However, he is also
active in other groups from which we have neve rec'd a single complaint.
Therefore, we could not, in the free-speech spirit of the Net, censor him
from those other groups (there just ain't no justification for that).

Also, in fairness to Phil, he claims that many people in this group are on
his side. So, please decide democratically among yourselfs if you want
him back. I have heard only one side so far; if there is a second, I would
like to hear it. But please, email me results only; not individual votes.

thank you,

P.S. I also promise never to post to this group again also ;-)

News from NiftyServe...

NJ had a card in Osaka on 12/14.

The Hell Lasers, Hawk(Road Warrior) & Power (Kensuke Sasaki) captured
the IWGP tag titles from Scott "Flash" Norton & Tony "I think I'm a good heel,
and that's why I always get booed" Halme, who just won the titles from the
Steiners few weeks ago.

Also on the card, Takashi Ishikawa & Kitahara from WAR beat Fujinami & Akira
Nogami when Ishikawa pinned Nogami.  On the main event, Tenryu powerbombed
Koshinaka for the pin.  When Tenryu entered to the ring after Koshinaka 
did (which indicates that Tenryu is more important in this match), some in
the audience yelled "hey, this is New Japan!!!"  I guess they forgot Koshinaka
originally started in All Japan too.

Adonis and Murdock left the WWF before Wrestlemania I, so Adonis wasn't there.
Adonis did come back, and slowly started being transformed before Wrestmania

Maybe.  This is what I would like to see.  Bret drops the strap to Ramon
either at the Rumble or in a house show.  Bob Backlund wins the Rumble
and faces Ramon at WMIX.  Why?  Ramon, although he's not a monster,
is a big heel and is really over in this role (in this sense he's more
like Sgt. Slaughter).  He is the antithesis of Backlund.
Another reason is my belief that both Hall and Backlund probably have 
title reigns in their contracts.  Yokozuna has yet to demonstrate any
real heelishness and so is a monster in size but not in style.

Distribution: world

PWI isn't that great a waste of money.  Pro Wrestling Illustrated has
two can't-miss issues a year.. Their PWI 500 issue and the year-end
issue.  

If you've spent any time in a locker room during the September/October
months you would be surprised to see how many of the independant stars
pay very close attention to where they stand in the annual 500 wrestlers
rankings.

The year end issue tells the direction the marks see the sport going. 
And it's interesting to see which non WWF/WCW stars actually take home a
plaque (last year the Patriot was the only one).  Besides when the Brain
Busters won the Tag Team of the year a few years back I was shocked to
see them in a PWI spread with their WWF titles.  Usually none of the
WWFers cooperate with TV Sports.

If PWI had no impact on the sport, then why did the WWF and even WCW
come out with their own mags (granted the WCW magazine has the exact
same staf as PWI)

They should be given credit for basing their entire existance on
legitimizing the sport without resorting to sheet tactics, no small task.


In addition every month has thousands of match reports that would
otherwise would never be reported.

That's why PWI is definitely worth a look once in a while.

It is only an indication if the show is good.  I thought that Havoc,

Hopefully, Watts will realize their is a corner to turn and will make
the move.
