Arrrgg!!!! The WCW had a card downtown that same night for $5 and you went to 
the WIFF! You should be ashamed of yourself. THe WCW card sounded much better 
IMHO. How can we ever hope to see good wrestling in North America when educated
wrestliing fans go see the Wiff when it is head to head with WCW.
