      Ya know, whatever way it goes, it looks like we'll see some decent wrestling 
      whenever there's a WWF title match.  We can have Hart/Flair, Hart/Perfect, Perfect/
      Flair.  Sadly, UT is the odd man out, but if he starts working hard again he could
      be the "dark horse" :-).

       Hey, might actually get some good wrestling here, too.  This is provided Bam Bam
       and Yoko are allowed increase their workrates a little.  I've always kinda been
       impressed with Crush's wrestling.  Not sure why, but it's definitely not his neon
       attire.

       I just hope they'll sell some moves and keep up their workrate.

        Yoko?  Why?  Lex supposedly doesn't want to wrestle anymore.  If Koko turns
        maybe Owen can finally get a decent partner (I'm hoping for Janetty).  Don't
        care much about Lance.

        I'm heartbroken :-).  Seriously, Max Moon talks like he's a fugitive from
        Starfleet or something.  Will Vince bring in a Klingon-like character? Hope not.

        Well, last time he left, he came back and had to vomit. Now he'll probably have
        to lose a limb or something. :-)
