I'm kind of suprised they did the turn for Curt, but this has been in the works
for a while.  Henning and Flair supposedly had a shoving match at a Nassua card
a bit before Summer Slam and there was talk of a Flair face turn.

I don't think Vince will have Curt do a sneak attack on savage because there
are virtually no mega-faces to fill in for Savage after he is gone.  Plus, I
think Vince will catch Hell for putting together probably the weakest PPV since
Tuesday in Texas last year.  If he thinks house shows are low now, wait til none
of the marks show because they don't have anyone to look up to.

As for Hart being champ :  I like Bret Hart as a wrestler, but he seems to lack
in the charisma department.  Bret can't do an interview like Slick Ric or even
steriod Hogan, this could hurt the possibility of an extended reign as champ.

Although, I don't know what's running thru Vince's steriod enduced mind.  I 
think he should be the poster child for "Just say no" or for birth control.  

About Damein Demento not getting a push.  I'm not sure about that.  I kind of
think he'll stay a jobber just because of the lame name they came up for him and
because he lost to Santanador......But......

I remember back when I would actually consider going to a WWF show (because they
were really the only thing in the NY/NJ area and I live less than a mile from
Giants Stadium).  I remember the night 'Ravishing' Rick Rude made his area debut
in the WWF.  You know what happend?  He jobbed for....get this....JERRY ALLEN!!!
I couldn't believe that the former WCCW champion lost to a jobber supreme from
both the WWF and WCCW!  At any rate, within a month, Vince realized what 
potential Rude had and he defeated Allen convincingly in MSG and the picked up
Heenan as a manager.

I still can't figure out why The Big Razor Diamond Scott Ramon Studd Hall got
such a push.

I give up.

Actually, I wonder how long the turn will last.  I like the concept of
the whole thing being some sort of set-up with Hennig turning on Savage
and being saved by Hogan or Backland or someone.  This keeps him as a
heel.  It also makes it easy for him not to wrestle again...

You miss the point entirely.  WWF and WCW have been going down the
sewers for as long as any of us can remember.  None of us really
bothered to care previously because they were making money before, and 
that could be used as a scapegoat by the skeptics.

Well, if you remember, when Hogan and the Steroid Warrior went up with both 
as title holders, that the IC belt was declared open! If ToyBoat was to win
over Hart, I assume the same would be true?!

On another note:
As to speculation about Hogan, and McMoney......it's totally up to Hogan as to
a return. As I recall, the last time Hogan's contract ran out, he was given a
cut of the action by McMoney. At the time, he and his wife owned the now defunct
Cape Cod Coliseum, and a semi-pro hockey team there. About the time he sold
the joint, Hogan's contract was up. In the ensuing settlement, the WWF, Titan
Sports, etc. were split by McMoney, his wife, and Hogan getting a substantial
piece of the action. So, I guess in that respect, Hogan is his own boss in the
matter of returning to the ring. BTW, a friend of mine spotted a recent show
which seemed to be a small-time talk show, and he said Hogan was on, looking 
to be about the same size!

I have to agree with those who say that this was the worst Clash of the
Champions I've ever seen.  I missed about the first 50 minutes or so, but have
it on tape (waste of tape, for what I've heard).

I pick it up at the end of the "Ghetto Odds Match".  Too Cool Scorpio, you're
too good!  That forward sumersault onto an "unconscious" Cactus Jack is
probably the best move I've seen in WCW in months.

Paul E vs. Madusa:  BOMB!!!!
Why, oh why, oh why would you have such a match if you weren't going to have
Madusa do a full face turn and just go after Paul E. ??  The match had no work,
no common sense, and very few wrestling holds.  Madusa should go back to Japan,
where she can at least be a respectable wrestler again, in a place where women
are actually given the chance to be athletes in the wrestling ring.

The other two matches I could have called before they even started.  I mean,
why have the judges if you aren't going to use them, and who couldn't just see
by the look on Windham's face that the turn would take place.

So, now, here's what I see, after seeing the posts from Center Stage:

Simmons vs. Orndorff
Windham vs. Rhodes
Vader vs. Sting   (Starrcade King of Cable final)

But who will the tag champs be programmed against, with Eaton and Anderson

Uh, can we get back to talking about maybe how to save WCW
instead of tripping out about Erik Watts endlessly?  He's not
going to leave WCW unless his dad does anyway.

Plus, I think he *is* showing a ton of improvement.

And--you fucking brain surgeons out there (there's at least two of
you) who call Erik's finisher a stupid move and don't even know
the move--it's called the Stepover Toehold Facelock, or STF, and
is the favorite submission finisher of current NWA world champ
Masahiro Chono.  And people *always* submit to it in Japan.  So, it's
an over move.  C'mon guys, whaddya want--a legdrop finisher?

On the subject of Chono, any idiot out there who has said he sucks
just because the only matches *you've* seen him in are US style WCW 
events, lighten up!  He really is good.  If WCW had showed the entire
first Rude/Chono match (at Sumo Hall), you'd see this; however, it
seemed they just tried to get Rude over with highlights of the ref
"distracting" him...  Anyway, look for Chono vs. Muta at Starrcade to
steal the show, especially if they go at it NJPW style, which they
should.

Sorry, bad day.  What's getting old to me on this group is people
bitching about Watts too much, announcing Perfect's face change too much 
(we fucking know, and some of us *don't care*), announcing UW and
BB leaving WWF too much, fighting over which fictional shit is okay
to post here and what isn't, fighting over who's a "net.god" (NOBODY, 
okay kids?), and Stromer, who is obviously a schizophrenic with latent
tendencies (who else gets asked to leave the net, fired for posts, returns
a year later and *apologizes*, then attacks again?).  The signal-to-noise
ratio is getting out of hand again here, IMHO (and in this post)...

Not necessarily.  If both belts are on the line, it may go to a
time limit draw or a DDQ.  I'd assume in either of these cases that 
both men would retain their original titles.  Might be interesting
if there were a "loophole" in the contracts they signed that had
some clause about titles changing hands on a DDQ or TLD, and each
man would get the OTHER guy's title!  :-)

Let me make a stab at this.  Being a net.god (tm) on Usenet is relative
to the newsgroup being read.  In RSPW this refers to people who can
speak with authority on the real (or apparent) nature of wrestling
either from reading wrestling sheets and/or contacts in the business
and/or from following wrestling for many years.  RSPW net.gods (tm)
sometimes seem to be tied into the business because they're able to get
news of changes or of upcoming events before anyone else (not
identifying one's sources also adds to the mystique of being a net.god
(tm)).  Some of the people who are certifiable net.gods are Herb Kunze,
Gary Will, Sean Ryan, and perhaps a couple of others.  You might
remember that a while back someone on the net said that *you* were
something of net.god (tm) because of your knowledge of Japanese wrestling
and other promotions in the U.S.  Perhaps the above will make it clear
why that was said.

As for me, I'm still trying to become RSPW offical net.mark (where the
hell is John Price these days?  We haven't heard from him for a long
time).

As always...

so-called "wrestling fans" want to see this silly, costumed clowns and fat pigs
carrying on with managers, valets, etc.  The promoters of these big leagues 
make a fortune off this crap.  If there is any semblence of "wrestling" the 
idiots start screaming "boring, boring.."  The "wrestling" aspect of 
pro-wrestling has been dead for along time.  So-called fans are getting exactly
what they deserve when they PAY on PPV for this garbage.  And you will notice 
the same 90% posting on this group every week, getting all excited 'cause Bam 
Bam Lardass is coming back! Wow!  This goes along with the weekly, junior-high 
school mentality of the homophobic netgods with their AIDS jokes and homohatred

He's been using that line a lot recently. He said it during the
Superstars' interview this weekend, and the crowd popped BIG TIME, and
it wasn't one of those canned crowd pops, as Vince is wont to do, but
a spontaneous outburst from the fans.

Rather refreshing, I thought.

I think Hart sounds rather good saying that. After all, he IS "the
man" now, Flair is not. Anything to turn a line on Flair is good in my
book!
