How about the series where he and DBiase were a team?  Or when he teamed
with the Fantastics to wrestle the Sheepherders and Jack Victory in a
barbed wire cage match?  Great stuff and Taylor was over huge.

BTW, if the group does want me to do a tape, you should definitely put
the barbed wire cage match on it.

I haven't stopped to go in yet. It's not a tower, really. More like a
cube. When you drive by you can see right in the front entrance, and there
is a reception desk. Haven't seen security yet, but it wouldn't surprise
me. 

Hell, all you have to do is hang around this area and you'll meet someone.
Sgt. Slaughter lives in Trumbull, which is about 15 minutes from here.
Henning lives in the area also, since he's doing commentary. And I already
told you all about the producer I almost ended up house-sharing with. I
should have gone in just to find out what's going on. ;-)

As long as I'm zipping through September 1991 tapes,
Mick was asking viewers to order ten wrestlers by age.

I think I posted this a year ago, but for old times' sake
here it is again, from youngest to oldest:

Mean Mike Enos
Playboy Buddy Rose
Hulk Hogan
Ric Flair
Greg Gagne
Baron Von Raschke
Larry Hennig
Nick Bockwinkel
Butch Levy
Lou Thesz

I don't know about the rest of you, but I wouldn't have guessed
that Hulk was younger than Greg Gagne.  For some reason, I still
picture Greg as this snot-nosed 160 pound kid and Hulk as this
balding, flabby middle-aged guy.  :-)

If you look carefully at the eyes of some interviewers you'll see them

O.K. here is how it worked. The hype you saw for weeks was the hype for your 
local house show. This match occured all over the country all summer and 
Ultimate Warrior won every time. I assume that the match in your area went the 
same way. We in columbus just had the good fortune of having this and other

Incidently, Mark has a new (well, old by this time) tattoo in addition to the
self portrait Reaper on his forearm.  It looks like a wizard in a red cloak,
sitting on a throne with skulls decorating the top of the chair.  The cloaked
one also has a thick black beard and a very surprised expression on its face.

My friend first said the wizard reminder her of the Berserker, but we both came

Yeah, Luger had a motorcycle accident, which was well-documented at
the WBF PPV, where he was supposed to do a guest pose-down. Instead,
they showed him in the hospital with his arm in traction. He broke his
elbow (well, shattered was the word used, I think) but he wasn't
anywhere near Magnum TA condition. 

Last I heard he was recovered and working out again.

Of course, all this information stands to be corrected. Heaven knows

Finally, after three months, I'm back in a computer lab.  I watched so much wrestling over
the summer and was frustrated by not having a place to voice my opinions.  Now, I don't want
to reopen topics long dead, but here's what I felt about what happened this summer.

	Sting loses to Vader: makes no sense, if the whole purpose was to give the belt
  	to Simmons.  IMHO, WCW had an excellent opportunity to take a blonde steroid abuser
	from Venice Beach, and set him up as an irresistable force, which is (sadly) what
	gave a huge push to the Whiff.  Now I think the whole purpose was to further set
	the two leagues apart.

	Natural Disasters win the WWF tag belts: makes sense, since they most likely dominated
	all the house shows, thus giving no credibility to Money, Inc..  Also, another 
	attempt to drive up attendance at the houses, since a title *might* actually change
	hands.
	
	Warrior vs. Savage at "SlumberScam":  hats off to who came up with that name.  I 	wanted it to be Savage/Flair, and believe Wembley still would've sold out.  Is Flair
	and Savage really on their ways out, with Randy to retire and Ric back to WCW?
        I also predict that Perfect won't be in anyone's corner at the Scam.

	Simmons wins belt from Vader:  hell, why not?  He's gotten far too many pushes in the
	past.  Now, if he could just *wrestle*.

Well, that's about it.  One more thing: the difference between WWF PPV's and WCW PPV's - 
the Whiff uses them to start feuds (Kamala/UT, Tatanka/Martel), while WCW uses them either
to end or enhance them.

Opinions?  Please post 'em.  I know I'm not one of the more prolific posters, but I do what
I can.

Organization: University at Buffalo
News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41


   Recently, I have discussed with Dave Scherer the possibility of him putting
together a new "best of" video much like the one Herb has done for RSPW.  I
suggested the idea, and Dave has agreed to try it so long as enough people are
interested in buying it. It would be along the same lines and regulations as 
Herb's tape: six hours of wrestling for $25.  Dave has a very large collection
of Japanese matches (something like every TV show for the last several years
from Japan) as well as a wealth of Lucha Libre from Mexico, and matches from 
these two countries would make up the bulk of the tape.  Matches would be 
selected in the same way Herb did his selecting (by vote).
    What we want to know now is this: how many people would be interested in
buying such a video?  If only a couple of RSPW readers would be interested,
then it probably wouldn't be worth the effort.  But if many people would want
in on it then we're going to go ahead with it.  
    If you are *seriously* interested, then e-mail me in response to this post
and simply say you're interested.  Then, I'll tally up the replies and forward 
them to Dave and we'll see if it would be worth it.  I'm just trying to see
who would be interested at this point but you gotta let me me know as quickly
as possibl    This way we can assess what the response will be and then move
ahead without delay.
    Hope to hear from you.

Anyone catch the tag match on World Wide Wrestling (I think)
between Stink/Nikita and Buddy Lee Parker/Tracy Smothers?

At then end, as Stink is pinning Buddy Lee, Nikita gave a 
clothesline to Smothers that put him over the top and onto
the concrete.  Nikita looked worried that Smothers had hurt
himself with such a bump.

Probably the best move of the week.

And the best line of the week?  Probably Larry Z on the Power Hour.

From Michael Branch, who had some trouble with his posting software
acting up on him:

  Some remembered moments from the WCW Saturday Night 
  Tapings at Center Stage...

  The Barbarian seemed to be in at least 15 of the 10
  or so matches last night. And his workrate continues
  to stop time itself. 

  Bagwell, Zenc and Johnny B. Badd won against Slater,
  Valentine and Flamingo. Some guys above us (Craig Johnson,
  from North Georgia Wrestling) had a nice poster that
  said "I'm a tan man!" that was waved at Johnny B.
  Flamingo is being jobbed into oblivion...

   Paul E. and Austin came out and interviewed next to the
   cage that Dangerously is to be suspended from during
   one of the upcoming bouts (can't remember if it's the
   Clash or not). Dangerously did alot of emoting (his face
   resembling Brother Love at one point) but it all just seemed
   a bit silly. 
 
   Rude and Simmons are being scheduled, Rude came out and interrupted
   a Simmons interview and drew lots of heat. (By this point,
   The Barbarian had wrestled 16-17 times and was now selling
   t-shirts)   

   Definitely the highlight of the evening: Bobby Eaton and Arn
   came out with Michael Hayes as their manager, for a match
   against the Steiners to determine "The number one rated challengers
   for the world titles." And, unbelievably, the Steiners jobbed
   for them! Hayes had some great remarks in the post match interview,
   especially towards Gordy, and it's great to see him back as
   a heel. And it still is impressive as to how much of a pop
   Eaton gets. As we were leaving, I also saw him take time
   from loading his car out in the parking lot, to pose with a
   group of kids for a photo for the family. He's a class guy.

   Another nice result, Cactus Jack, Jake and the Barbarian
   defeated Nikita, Windham and Dustin (minus dummy strings)
   in a 6 man tag match. Nikita and Barbarian had many - Guess? -
   that's right < Tests of strength >. Would someone please, however
   gently, let Nikita know that, minus the roids, he hardly evokes
   terror with a body like Joey Maggs?

   Vader won a squash and looked impressive once again. The more I
   see him in person, the more incredible he looks.
 
   And Sting and Nikita beat some jobber and Pat (Fargo) Rose.
   Rick "Georgia" Duggan kept yelling at Rose as a Fargo and
   afterwards Rose told him to shut his mouth.             

   And now for the grim news, we spotted The Iron Shiek!?!
   around afterwards and Rick was told that, yes he is around
   WCW now. 
   God have mercy!

It's a work.  It comes from when he was ``injured'' in the match
where he tagged with Pillman.  But at the next TV taping, he drove
by us and didn't have his sling on.  As a matter of fact, I don't
even think he had it on when he left the TV taping at which he
was ``injured.''

Well, since you asked: not only would I not be interested, I would look
upon such posts with nothing but disgust.  It would immediately be
added to my KILL file, which still wouldn't prevent the embarrassment I'd
feel knowing that the newsgroup was being degraded with such idiotic,
puerile prattle.
 
On the other hand, life would go on. :-) 
(That's what you get for asking.)
 
I know that fantasy booking can be fun, but I doubt that the alleged
thousands of r.s.p-w readers are going to have much interest in the
details of a game being played by a handful of people, and to tell them
all to change their KILL files is a pretty contemptuous attitude.  Unless
you get A LOT more than the 10 players you mentioned, I think the
game belongs in e-mail.
