Somebody posted up a couple days ago--it's Rob Zakowski, who goes by
Rob Van Damme in the IWA [?].  Notice any facial similarities?  In WCW, 
apparently, he's just Robbie V...

>Anybody know if this was a one-shot deal or if Watts has signed

I haven't seen his name in Jon and Mike's Center Stage TV Taping
reports, but have seen his name in the Observer and I believe he's
in Japan at the moment.

>First 2 Cold Scorpio, now this guy. Who's next?

I think he was pretty impressive, but not quite Scorpio's level (yet).
What I liked was that Robbie V at least tried high-risk moves...

  So who was it?  I only got to watch the first half hour.  They showed
Chris Benoit vs Johnny Rich, not vs Pat Rose.

  Please summarize who it was and what moves they did (particularly the
finisher).  Please e-mail me if you don't want to post it.

PS  I kind of liked how Benoit sells his opponents movs even in squash
matches (sold a powerslam of Rich's and a few other moves).

Hmmm...

 I've silently (without posting that is) read this group for around
 two years, now I've something to say:

Cut Vince a _little_ slack!

  Granted the WWF today isn't the NWA or WWWF or even AWA of the past
but he's making an effort (for his own financial security I'm sure).
Lately he's loosened the restrictions that made him so hated in the
business.  Sure he comes up with things (jokes to me) like The
Undertaker, Doink and Narcissit(us?), but he's also been doing some
good things.  He's given a big push to his technical wrestlers (not
all [like O. Hart], but not all wrestlers can expect a push at the
same time), hell _Bret Hart_ is Champ, and Shawn Michaels is IC.
Their workrate is not always there but they do use tech moves and have
some good matches (The B. Bulldog, Hart match at SS '92).  

Vince is also letting people keep their out of WWF names (Bam Bam, The
Steiners, Jerry Lawler, Carlos Colone (sp?) in the RR, Ric Flair, Jeff Jarret
[where-ever the hell he is]), in the past he would have changed them
into someone/thing else (like The Legion of Doom, The Bushwackers).

Hell Vince has actually scheduled cards with another Federation
(USWA)!  Flair came in wearing another Fed's belt, with him and 
Heenan actually saying that there was _another_ Fed out there _better_
than the WWF!

It seems to me Vince is making an effort to please everyone and _also_
make money (that is the _point_) of owning a business right?).  He's
not perfect (only Hennig is :), but better than before!

Just $0.02 from Darin

Sean Ryan was keeping the archive, but he's disappeared for the last little
while. I have most all of the tag matches on disk and can easily send
them out to someone on request. Stilt Man (foleye@xanth.cs.orst.edu)
keeps some of his matches, you'd be better off asking him.

This will be disappointing to some netters, and a relief to others, I know,
but the Stilt Man and myself are finding ourselves enduring a heavy
"workrate" academically. FWF matches will consequently suffer a considerable
slowdown. I was trying last semester to write one a week, but that won't
be possible for a little while anyway. Sorry, but that's life. :-/

Where did you hear about this or are you expecting a run-in at
the PPV?  Last I heard is it's still RnR vs. Wrecking Crew...
I'd much rather see Cornette's boys, but we get that on TV 2/6 on
WCWSN (probably to sell the RnR for SuperBrawl; perhaps [and I
hope] to set up the run-in...).

Man, ain't *that* the truth!
A couple o' years ago I was at a production of William Shakespear's
Hamlet. The show was sold out, and I made a total *ass* out of myself
by telegraphing every upcoming event like: "Look, now he's gonna talk
to a skull" or "Here comes the ghost!".
Hey, I just assumed the entire audience was a buncha marks; thinking
that stuff on stage was ReallyHappening. How wuz I to know some people
actually like it for what it is?

Would it somehow be more acceptable if he was a really-truly fan, and
had attended several house shows, and noticed that they were using the
same finishes and angles (and maybe even scripts) in each of the
shows, and then got disgusted and began yelling out finishes?

Organization: Purdue University Computing Center

I just got done watching Monday Night Raw and thought I'd throw in
my two cents.

Flair vs. Perfect was somewhat of a disappointment.  Someone had posted
that it was a four-star match or something like that.  While it was
OK, it certainly wasn't anywhere near the four-star range.

Before the main event, Savage pinned Repo.  Yawn.  Gene reported on
the Royal Rumble.  It was clearly taped before the event since no
footage was shown.  There may have been another forgettable match...
oh yes...Kamala fought Kim Chee!  I found it very ironic that
they had the Brooklyn Brawler aka Steve Lombardi aka Kim Chee
fight Kamala.  I guess someone there has a sense of humor.

The Flair vs. Perfect match was about 25 minutes long.  Perfect
juiced a little.  Flair did most of his usual offense, but Perfect
won with a perfectplex out of nowhere.

I had actually gained some respect for McMahon for letting Flair
leave in a good way.  Even though he had to lose, they hyped it as
two great athletes battling for their careers.  Flair, the good
company man, went along with it, and McMahon was treating him with
respect and not putting his future in WCW down at all.  Unfortunately,
after the match, McMahon blew it with me by announcing that Tunney
has said that Flair will have to honor his committments through this
weekend, "but then it's all downhill from there."  Really classy,
McMahon.

I guess that answers everyone's questions about Flair possibly working
some house shows after this "last" match.

Hopefully Flair will be treated better in WCW.

A quick note folks:

The ballot finally made it up on Friday.  Keep on voting.  I have had

From here on out, I will  E mail important posts to Hisaharu and if the
don't make it up, he'll post them for me.

I did Japanese TV reports last week and they never made it up.  I'll try
again tomorrow.

Oh, and the reason for the question about whether there is enough
material is NOT to do another one right away.  It is so that I know if I
should keep those matches for a possible next tape.

I don't see me doing another tape before nest September, unless at least
25 people ask for one beforehand.

Thanks.

Our Stanford, CT mole (sorry, name escapes me) posted a while back
that he saw El Gigante Gonzales in the Golds buying weight gainers (I
remember because the joke was it wasn't ICOPRO). So presumably he's
been doing both...maybe it just wasn't enough.

If you are talking about the masked wrestler who was Kabuki's tag team partner,
he's dead.  His real name was Kazuharu Sonoda.  After coming back to Japan,
he kept using the gimmick for few years and later started as Haru Sonoda.
He died in the plane crush in South Africa in '87, on the way to his honeymoon.
Shohei Baba, the promoter of All Japan Pro-Wrestling still puts the Haru Sonoda
Memorial Match every year.

That's Ryuma Go, who wrestled several times last year in Oregon for the
CW-USA group.  He started Oriental Pro-Wrestling in Japan but was kicked out
from the promotion.  I haven't heard what he's doing now.  I think Kengo Kimura
of New Japan hasn't wrestled in the US at least ten years.

"And the sign said: long-haired, freeky-looking people need not apply,
so I pulled my hair up under my hat, and I went in to ask him why.
He said, 'Son, you look like a fine upstanding young man, I'm sure you'll do.'
So I pulled off my hat and said 'Imagine that, me working for you.'
