 Think Cow(pie) has noticed that The WWF draws Females and this
Hammerhead thing is just what "the doctor ordered" to alleviate
the declining Profits of WCW.
 
 Think about it, Hammerhead is a slimmed down Hulkster with THICK

	wants attention?  He will go away if we don't give him any.
	I am not the first person to say this, but it seems there
	is always someone in this group who cannot resist arguing
	with the boy.  They are as guilty of posting garbage as
	stromer is.  "He started it" is not a legitemit excuse.

Hm!  I had just voted him "most improved" for Herb's poll, thinking he'd be
a new mainstay in the WCW system, but I guess Watts hates to promote anybody
who has shown any willingness to work hard for the company.  I still haven't
seen Too Cold Scorpio, though.

On the E.W.ww watch, now that he's jobbed Iraqi-style to Rude, I guess I
can tolerate watching WCW again...

I am sure there are some folks here who would also like this info, so
I'll post my 4 favorites.

1) The Observer   4 issues for 6 dollars.   Weekly.
   PO Box 1228
   Campbell, CA  95009-1228

Dave Meltzer, editor.  I have gotten Dave at  least 25 subscriptions.
This is the bible of newsletters.  Simply the best.  News from all over
the world. Dave has so many contacts it's is amazing.  If you can only
afford one, this is it.

2) The Torch  4 issues for 6 dollars.  Weekly.
   PO Box 201844
   Minneapolis, MN  55420

Wade Keller, editor.  The number two sheet.  The news is a definite
second place to the Observer, but Wade has the best interviews in the
business.  Also, there are 4 rotating columnists.  My favorite, of
course, is Chris Zavisa and his Japanese column.

3) Arena Report    1 dollar an issue.   Bi-Weekly.
   PO Box 952547
   Lake Mary, Florida  32795-2547

Ron Lemieux, editor.  I love this sheet.  It's a little news and columns
from a lot of well known, at least in the "inner circle", insider
hardcore fans.  I love this sheet.

4) Lucha Libre Weekly   1 dollar an issue.
   1427 West Dickens Ave
   Chicago, IL 60614-3003

Steve Sims, editor.  Steve's a good friend of mine and does a great job
covering this style of wrestling.

Hope it helps.

BTW, you will NEVER read PWI Weekly again after reading these sheets.

Well, if you like old-style wrestling  Backlund should keep you happy.
He wrestles like it was still 1979. He's used every move I saw him use
when I first got into wrestling so many years ago. Of course, he's badly
out of shape.

No need to be ashamed, Catwoman...you're mistaken.  Tiffany didn't show up
until after the first season (when lots of the talent(?)--including Tina
Ferrari--had left for POWW).  Tina's partner was always Ashley Cartier, a buxom
redhead.  "Tina and Ashley"...does it ring a bell (no pun intended:) )?

	Here's my dream Wrestlamania card as of right now:

Opening match: Undertaker d. Doink after 10 tombstones
(anyone know why he has stopped using it?)

Shawn Michaels d. Tatanka to retain I-C belt

Yokozuna d. Typhoon

Kamala d. Nailz 

Steiners d. Money Inc. but Money Inc. attack after match

Ultimate Warrior(!) d. Razor Ramon 
(may the net.gods forgive me, he's my favorite wrestler)

Intermission

Nasty Boys d. Headshrinkers

Bamm Bamm d. Bob Backlund

Bret Hart d. Jim Neidhart
(I always thought the Anvil was a better heel than he was a face)

Jerry Lawler d. Marty Janetty

Mr. Perfect d. Ric Flair for the WWF title

	I didn't say I think any of those matches will happen, just that I'd
love to see them. I do see Perfect-Flair, Steiners-Money happening, though, and
I bet that in reality, Tatanka will beat Michaels for the strap.

This is not right.  While I believe a King of the Ring tournament may
have taken place that year, the tournament won by JYD was the "First
Annual (ha ha) Wrestling Classic."  I belive it was held in November
1985.  This was the WWF's first pay-per-view (although WM I may have
been distributed as PPV on a limited basis).

This seems to be a much used statement,  <wrestler X> can do great things but
<Vince, Bill Watts, etc>  won't let them.  Does anyone know how much of it is 
that Vince or Watts won't let them and how much of it is that if you have no

by this is, if I know that if I do wild spots I'll become the top name in the 
organization and get lots of money, I'll do wild spots, whereas, if I know that
if I eats lots if ICOPRO, do good interviews, be the promoters son, do a stupid
gimick, sleepy with Pat Patterson, etc., I'll become the top draw and get lots 
of money, I won't do wild spots because they are a risk to my health and don't 
help my financial situation any.

Really???? So you mean that they're going to bring Hart's wife into this,
have Flair constantly badmouthing her (I don't count the one incident
on the interview for much), and have Ramon stop Flair from hitting husband
and wife when they return to the dressing room after a match? Yeah, it

I have a question....while watching the match, I think heard some comments

"He looks as if he (Randy) has slowed a step."  (Hayes)


Did I hear right?  If so, they are starting to let on that Macho Poffo is

If he was not king then who did Duggan beat for the crown, and who feuded

My prediction (remember my past history in this department:  Jake and
Papa Shango predicted to be champs, so...)

WM main event will be Perfect vs. Flair for the titie...  who will be
champ I don't know, but I'm guessing either:

Perfect wins the Rumble, and Hart drops to Flair somewhere before RR,
making Razor/Flair a regular match, or:

Flair wins the Rumble, Razor beats Hart for the title, and Perfect
beats Razor soon after.

OR #2:

Hart keeps the title until WM, Flair wins the Rumble, and takes the
title from Hart with the assistance of Perfect ala plan C or D or
whatever they're up to now...

Like I said, remember my past history for predictions, so...

This is now used as a gimmick to sell video tapes.  For example, when
Bret Hart lost the IC title to the Mountie shortly before a Royal
Rumble, this match was added to the Royal Rumble tape.  I think they
are trying to get people who bought the PPV to rent or buy the tape
by including things they haven't seen.

I don't know what charges were pressed, but there was alcohol, pot,

Organization: Iowa State University, Ames, IA

An update on my work:

I have just finished the beta copy of the FAQ, and I still need to check
it for errors (spelling, facts, etc.), and those who requested a pre-post
copy should have it in your box by the end of Wednesday night.

I hope to post it on Thursday afternoon, and we'll see how that works out.

Some miscelaneous things:

According to the general wishes of you readers, I have cut down the size of
the FAQ.  I have deleted everything that hasn't been brought up since I
first started reading this group (except for when i was gone, of course).

The size of the FAQ looks to be 16K, as opposed to 50K for the old one.

I still have the old FAQ intact, in case anything in it needs to be brought
back again.

If you would like a beta copy tomorrow, mail me tonight and i will send it 
to you.

I will be making a 'mail link' so people who want the FAQ can get a copy of 
it without remembering my address.  The address will be:

                      rspw-faq@iastate.edu

Requests for the FAQ can be made at any time (except of course, while im gone).

Also: someone thought it might be a good idea to include something in the FAQ
about the demise of the AWA.  Since i know nothing of the actual death of the
AWA, would someone kindly write up in about 2 paragraphs a story on how
it died?  Thanks.

And something new: every week (on Friday) I will post the "RSPW weekly
reminder" which will be a VERY breif FAQ for those questions we see EVERY
WEEK (the ultimate warrior, et all).
