Monsoon, Heenan has same Xmas list as for Superstars

Undertaker v. Dwayne Gill
	UT wins with tombstone and body bag. Many foam urns.

Update with Lord Alfred about Hart-Flair-Ramon-Perfect melee
	Does anyone keep a list of great Flair qoutes? He's got one to add to 
	that list, "You think I'm breathing down your neck? I'm in your king
	size bed with your girlfriend in my arms, I'm that close"
	Hart responds with boring predictable comments.

Headshrinkers v. Dave Morgan & Matthew Williams
	The Clown plays with kids in audience. No evil tricks.
	Bobby predicts Samu & Fatu are next tag champs, apologies to Money
	Inc.
	Shrinkers win with head butt off top rope.

Preaching from the reverend.

Marty Jannetty v. John Richner
	Monsoon, "Jannetty is master of a couple hundred moves"  
	If only McMahon would let him use more than 10 of them in a match.
	Jannetty wins with fist drop.

Promos: GI Joe, Talking Battleship, Out Of Gas for Gameboy

Bamm Bamm v. Mike Collins
	During match, Gorilla reminds us that the ref can stop the match at
	any time. Has anyone ever seen that done?
	Bigelow wins with splash.

Shmuck new interviewer with "Santa's helpers"
	Apparently, the Bushwhackers weren't enough help, because High Energy
	also are helping him. Owen & Koko give gifts of WWF junk to fans.
	Brain, "Will someone gong them?"  My sentiments exactly.

Nasty Boys v. Chris Allen & Gus Kantarikus
	Clown has two presents with him, with which he teases the humanoids.
	Nastys win with Bulldog's then Savage's finishers
	The presents are for the boys, first they recieve two plastic tag
	title belts. They are pleased,but give the belts to humanoids. The 
	next "present" is a picture of Money Inc. which causes an upset
	reaction from Knobbs & Saggs. My question is, why?

RR Report
	see RR report for Superstars.

Razor Ramon v. John Paul
	Heenan tells us that Hennig can't read or write.
	Ramon wins with Razor's edge.
	
Promos: WWF video games, Savage's Slim Jim spot, Foreman's KO boxing

Next week: Nailz, Interview w/ Yokozuna, Crush, Money Inc. and a "special
	piece" on Mr. Perfect

You don't remember Haku being a king?!?!?!?

Shortly after Race left for "surgery for an injury inflicted on him by
Hulk Hogan but he wrestled in the WM4 battle royal anyway", Heenan made
a big deal about who the next king would be, then he picked Haku (since
Islander Tama - Samoan Savage??? left). Big crowning ceremony. After awhile,
Race returned wanting to know why his crown was given to another. At one of
the earlier Royal Rumbles, they had a non-PPV crown match where Haku retained
and Race faded out of the WWF scene.

Shortly thereafter, Duggan won the crown and Savage beat him for it in the
summer.

Ramon might have a title in his contract, but I doubt Backlund. If Vince
was grooming Backlund to be a champ again, he'd be trying harder to generate
some heat for him. Besides, for Backlund to have that in his contract
would indicate that Vince came after him to get him to return. Backlund's
return to the WWF seems to me to be more Backlund's decision and Vince
saying, "Sure, give it a shot." I can't see Vince chasing Howdy Doody
saying, "PLEASE come back to us. We NEED you."

  Jim Ross said that the buy rate for HH was higher than any other WCW
PPV since Havoc of 1990.  This would suggest that, at least to the executives
who hire and fire men like Watts, Bill Watts is doing well.  So, all this
talk about Watts "needing to hit at hoem run at the Clash/next PPV" seems
a bit unfounded.  Or are all or you referring to the quality of wrestling.
I agree, quality needs to improve, but if Watts has improved PPV sales,
then head offices are not going to fire him.

  This is just an observation.  I know that if quality drops, PPV sales
will in turn frop, but it doesn't seem like Watts is up against the ropes
just yet.

	Parsons used to wrestle for Portland about ten years ago.  I don't
have an answer to the question at hand, but the easiest way to identify
King Parsons is to lookat his chest.  He has a large tattoo of what
looks like a either a sun or a compass rose on the center of his chest.
 I've seen it on many occasions (after Portland also), so it isn't
makeup or something false like that. (Something false in P-Dub? No!!!!)

   Probably a little confusion of recent history. He is talking about Ric
Flair badmouthing Elizabeth. Jake the Snake never really badmouthed Elizabeth
during the Jake the Snake-Randy Savage feud that led to the Undertaker turn
and his feud with Jake.  (He just gave her the wedding present) |:^) 

Jake Roberts' wife was badmouthed by Rick Rude a few years back.

    Mr. Fuji was the manager of the Powers of Pain when they were in the WWF
after they made their heel turn. It was during a Survivor Series. Mr. Fuji,
who managed Demolition at the time, was outside of the ring. Demolition and
the Powers of Pain were the only teams left. Fuji interfered by hooking one 
one of Demolition's (Ax I think) legs. The Powers of Pain won, and Fuji went
from Demolition to the Powers of Pain. The Powers of Pain turned heel, and
Demolition turned face. Fuji stayed the manager of the Powers of Pain until
they split up. Warlord went to Slick, Barbarian went to Bobby Heenan. Now
they are both out of the WWF.

    From the Wrestling Relations section of the FAQ, it shows Curt Hennig
is married to a sister of Bret Hart. (I doubt they're going to use the
brother-in-law angle again, if a match does take place between them, though.)
I have no idea when he got married. (Anyone else know?)

Let me add to the RR/WMIX debate by saying I think Mr. Perfect is going to
win the Royal Rumble and Ric Flair will win the WWF Title at a house show,
probably a while after RR, leading to a Perfect-Flair showdown at WMIX.
I think this is the most probable thing that is going to happen.
I see a Hart win at the Rumble over Ramon, probably by DQ.

Also, I believe Marty Janetty will win the IC-Title from Shawn Michaels,
and lose it to Jerry Lawler (in an angle concerning who has the best off-
the-top rope fistdrop.)

I agree.  I think Sting is already *in* as "defending champion", just as 
Germany doesn't have to qualify for the '94 World Cup (soccer).

IMHO, however, they're wasting time if they use BattleBowl (tm) to push Sting
more since he's already top face.  I'd really like to see someone like
Stunning Steve win.  If I'm not wrong, he hasn't jobbed since losing the
TV belt to Scotty Steiner, so it wouldn't be *that much* of an upset to
see Austin pull it out.  And it would be a great way to get him over for
the future.

Somewhere (in the news.* hierarchy, most likely) is a posting about net 
ettiquette. I read the post September 1991, and from what I remember, it was 
VERY adamant about behavior like Phil's being AGAINST nettiquette.
 
I voted not to allow him back on this newsgroup. He's had two chances 
already, and from what Mike Palij posted, Phil isn't about to change his 
ways.
 
Now, if Phil were to agree not to post his homophobic, racist drivel to this 
group, maybe then I'd accept him on this group.

Don't know, but I would assume they are still friends.  From what I

Greg could not do since Papa Verne was the owner\destroyer of the AWA.

I didn't hear.  He was only suing for 25 grand though so it was probably

another reason why Jim Cornette is a great guy.

He is Mark Canterbury, who was the exclusive jobber to Erika Watts.  He

I'm too confused to pick a winner, considering all the permutation and
combinations. But I'll take it this far

1) Herb reported (prior to this week's Superstars and the Rumble title
shot deal) that the tentative main event for WM9 was Hart-YokoOnoZuna.
The obvious conclusion to draw is that YokoOnoZuna wins the Rumble.

BUT....what's the set up, other than YokoOnoZuna won the Rumble? Big
deal. He's not feuding with ANYONE right now (has he even appeared at
a house show yet?) and as far as I can tell, is drawing minimal heat
at the TV tapings. He'd have to attack Hart or something to really
villify him. The only other real angle I can see is that he's too
cruddy fat to have the sharpshooter put on him.

2) Pardon me for sounding markish...but what did Rrrrazor Ramon have
to gain by saying, in front of Flair, "I am the only person who looks
good in gold"? And what does Heenan have to gain from his Ramon-Flair
"dream" main event at WM9? He'd lose one or the other, quite soon
after losing Flair. And given that the WWF has pulled that trick with
Jimmy Hart a little too often....

3) Keep in mind that Vince has been Making It Up As He Goes Along <tm>
for the past year and a half. The Hart-Ramon match may never come off.
Superstars could start next week with The Clown as WWF champ (ok, not
likely, but did ANYONE predict Hart beating Flair when he did? I think
not.)

Point is, we can speculate all we want (and we probably will) but I
don't think any of us are going to pick the right combination of
circumstances all the way to WM9.

4) BUT...Rick Rude WILL beat Ron Simmons for the WCW title at
Starrcade.
