Wrongo...he is still employed by Titan and at this point (I say that cuz we
all know Vince changes his mind in two seconds) he is scheduled to appear as
soon as his WCW contract expires in the spring.  Also, at this point, it is
expected he will be a transitional champ and drop the strap to Backlund.

And you can see for yourself. About 10 JPEGs of Rie Miyasawa have
been posted in alt.binaries.pictures.erotica in the past few days.

Note: if you haven't decoded binary postings before or if you have
no idea what a JPEG is, READ THE FAQ in alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.
It will save you a lot of time and grief.

And now, a personal note if you please.

I've finally gotten ahold of a laptop and will begin doing weekly
updates of Championship Wrestling USA (Barr's Portland promotion).
Look for the first two (the shows from 10/31 and 11/6) to appear
starting Monday.

I have never kept the FAQ.  My only role in this was as the first one
to volunteer to compile an FAQ, a role which I relinquished after
about 5 months.  I only say this because apparently, some folks on 
here still haven't gotten the message, despite it being about 14 
months after I made that announcement.  I provided the base of
material for the initial FAQ posting made by Chris Bertholf and was
working on a complete revision of his document before I had to give it
up.  Maybe now that the election is over, I can find some time to get
back to work on it.  Don't get your hopes up, though.

Hmmm...  There is a Richard Rood (his original name) and  an R  A Rude both
north enough  in Minneapolis  to be  our friend  Rick from  Robbinsdale.  I
thought Madusa was from St.  Paul Minnesota, but don't see her under Miceli
in the white pages anymore.  Do I  have the  spelling wrong,  did she move,
did she get an unlisted number,  has she  really moved  in permanently with
Rood, or what?

This might  explain  why  Rick hasn't  had any  Asian women  painted on his
tights for quite a while.

Date: 13 Nov 92 03:02:35 GMT

A news from fj group for those who care....

New Japan and UWFI finally had a meeting, without Takada. At the end of the
meeting, Miyato & Anjo told NJ that they'd be back after UWFI has its own
meeting to decide whether they accept two of the requests NJ asked for.
Choshu said "everything could be decided more smoothly if Takada were here.
There won't be another meeting."  UWFI had a press conference and said the
NJ just doesn't wanna have the match. Those two things they couldn't accept
are:

1)  The challenger for the NWA world title will be determined in a battle
    royal that will take place on 12/32(?) in the famous Ganryujima. This
    match will include Takada, Choshu, Saito, two others from NJ, and three
    others from UWFI.

2)  UWFI has to pay 30,000,000 yen(more than @200,000) for a membership of
    the NWA(in order to challenge for the belt).

Sakaguchi said that the whole thing is over since they couldn't accept these
two things.

Well, I guess that the 20 years glory of New Japan is over as well(although 
Katz would probably say it was over several years ago).

If the match will take place, this is still gonna be interesting.

  I just got my copy of the wrestling tape Eric & Dave put out.  All I
can say is, if you wanted to know how such moves like Max Moon's rolling
firemen's carry or Johnny Gun's tilt-a-whirl power slam are supposed to
look like, watch they tape.  In the tape, these moves actually look good (like
they hurt).

  I was also interested in the number of wrestling moves that were refered
to by their American names (Despite Japanese announcing, I distinctly 
heard "Frankensteiner" "DDT" "bow and arrow").  I can understand DDT, but
surely their is a Japanese translation for bow and arrow hold.

  A very action packed tape, but I'm gald I didn't work in the concession stand

    OK, I see your point.  While I don't know that the average age at a WWF
show is seven (although that can't be far off), the point is that Bob is a
total nobody to most WWF marks.  So, I think he's no more likely to win the
belt than anybody else at this point, rumours aside.  
    Also, besides Meltzer pointing out that word is Bret Hart will be the
champion for a healthy run, there was other shocking evidence on Prime Time
Monday that I'm sure will get some play here.  Al Hays said that Bret Hart
was the greatest WWF champion of all-time including (quote) "All the great 
ones lumped in there."  You know who that means.  Then, later on, Monsoon
said the exact same thing about Hart!  Coincidene?  After that match, when
Vince was interviewing Hart "from Calgary", *Vince himself* called Hart "the
greatest wrestler ever to hold the WWF title."  Is this a major hype job or
what?  Amazing, considering Hogan's history with the company.  Perhaps Hogan
has no plans to come back, and Vince is trying to build himself a new mega
face.  You never know.  Not even Savage or Warrior got that treatment.

Looking at BBM and UT on TV, it's hard to believe that they are 300+.
I realize that WWF inflates heights and weights,

     It's too bad, really.  The two of them will take a lot of getting used
to as single wrestlers.  IMO, they are the most misused tag team in the past
dozen years.  Why is it that all promoters are afraid of letting them be 
violent, maniacal monster heels?  Merchandising, I guess; as if fans wish
there were no heels in wrestling because they only like the faces.  Right.  
Doesn't anybody understand that some of the most popular wrestlers around
are heels?
     Anyway, this is a pipe dream, but it would be great if the Road Warriors
could work things out and reunite in Smoky Mountain.  It would be like old
home week for the NWA tag team scene: Rock n Roll Express, Midnight Express
(when Eaton gets there), Road Warriors, Fantastics.  All they'd need would be 
to get David Crockett to do color.  Then again, maybe not.

I find it hard to believe any relative of Dusty Rhoades would be in
