Zzzzz... oh, sorry, thought you said something of relative importance.

No surprise.

Excuse me?  Papa Shango?  In the middle of a war with UW?  Oh, wait... that's
over, isn't it?  But against Bret Hart?  Sorry, no... I see a Shango upset of
Hart for the I-C title sometime in the not too distant future.

On an interesting side note, has Mike Sharp won 5 matches since 1984?

Yeesh.  See above.

I wonder if Vince knows that gold chains and Chicano accents are out this
year...

Why do I have a feeling that it's not Chris Walker... Walker is not an
incredibly big guy, not too much bigger, if at all, than Steve Simpson.

Who DOESN'T, besides the jobbers?  Keirn needs to give Stan Lane and Jim
Cornette a phone call.

Well, at least he didn't eat people.  But I wasn't aware that Kimala, as
Kimala, could talk... I thought he was an Abdullah type person.

Yeesh again.

You dope... they were chanting for LUKE!  ;)

Three guys I can't watch.  Crush's outfit makes me turn the colour down on my
telly, Duggan slobbers more than he wrestles, and Razor... well, see above.

That'd be my guess as well, but I would think Martel will turn face within the
month, if he turns at all.  This is typical.  Generally, in a heel-heel
situation, the heel turning face will remain a heel for a brief period of time
before making his turn.

I think perhaps maybe the Disasters should get Oscars for posing as tag
champions.  Sorry, I'll take something in a LOD, or maybe an MVC... hell, even
a Destruction Crew woul be more appealing.

So much for the Powers push.

Haven't there already been two different versions of a "Samoans" team in the
WWF?  There's been at least one, but its been a while since them.

Perfect got the pop?  Oh, GOD, is this a mistake on Vince's part... if either
of them, Flair needs to make the turn, so Hennig can call his old buddy,
"Big Magnum, Razor Ramone, Diamond Studd" Scott Hall, and the two of them can
chase after the Fat Boys... er, the Disasters.

And you probably didn't miss much.  If the card followed form, UW and UT won.

Okay, is it rambling, is it mumbling, or is it just a bad case of gas?

But he, of course, knew the answer.

Anybody willing to bet that it'll be Savage's, following the pop he got as
listed above?

Nah... can't be.
