All I have heard is that after Scott's fight with Watts, where he
allegedly threatened to kick Watts' pompous rear end, the Steiners will
be gone from WCW when their contract expires next month.  They are most
likely going to the WWF, but New Japan has a decent shot also.

Well, since he did the job in the finals of the New Japan tag tourney, I

Stuff from PWI Weekly, some of which has already been mentioned here:

* Reported on Shawn Michaels WWF I-C title win. They say the S.S match
will be for Hart's title only. They also note this is the third title
change in the WWF in three weeks.

* Eric Embry in serious but stable condition after being run off the
road by a jack-knifing 18-wheeler. Police say if the flatbed had been
loaded rather than empty, he would have been killed. He has a badly
bruised liver and severe ligament and cartilage damage in his left
knee.

* Reported the Harvey Whippleman-Howard Finkel run in. Kamala splashed
Finkel twice and the announcer was removed by stretcher. "Finkel spent
the night in hospital and was released."

* Sting will take on Muta for the IWGP title in Tokyo on Nov. 22. The
following night, Scott Steiner will challenge Chono for the NWA title.

* WCW has accouned its 1993 European tour, starting March 11 at
Wembley Stadium and running through the 17th, finishing in Dublin
Ireland. (Sinead O'Conner is scheduled for the ceremonial pope-bashing
and anthem-singing-boycotting! <g>)

* A new independent promotion is starting in the Pacific Northwest,
featuring many of the stars of Championship Wrestling USA.

* Terry Taylor is obviously programmed for bit things: at the WWF
taping in Springfield, he drew with Lance Cassidy. He redeemed
hismself two nights later by pinning Jim Brunzell. At the Terre Haute
tapings, Bret Hart beat Virgil. In Louisville KY, at the WWF taping
there, Herman the German beat Louis Spicoli. Whatever that means....

No, this is incorrect.  Travelling has nothing to do with it.

It is called $$$$$.  That's right...no one in the Whiff is making any money
any more.  Watch for Davey Boy to drift out now that Michaels has the strap.
Watch for John to disappear.  Where to?  Where the money is...Japan.

Speaking of Japan, I asked John about the name Yokozuna, and yes, all reports
are true.  It IS a special lifetime award given very rarely to sumo
wrestlers, and no, this guy is not a Yokozuna and he agreed that chances are,
Vince has pissed off a lot of Japanese people.

Subject: Un-Survivor Series
Keywords: Guess that card!
Date: 11 Nov 92 01:50:46 GMT


The latest ad for the 1992 Survivor Series resembles something you might see  
on your cable system, or Preview Guide, or what have you.  It is chock full  
of interesting information.  To quote: "EIGHT major matches! TWENTY-SIX  
stars!  ONE HUNDRED slams...blah blah blah"

Eight matches?  Ok, let's see now, again from the ad...

1. Ultimate Madness v. Ramon + Flair       (OK, 4 wrestlers)
2. Undertaker v. Kamala                    (That makes 6)
3. Hart v. Michaels                        (8)
4. Big Boss Man v. Nailz                   (10)

Now, add the ones given to us on the syndies or Prime Time...

5. Model v. Tatanka                        (12)
6. British Bulldog v. Da Mountie           (14)

and let's assume that the eight man tag takes place.

7. Natural Disasters and Nasty Boys v.
   Money, Inc. and Beverly Bothers         (22)

Now, unless I miss my counting (and I would assume they aren't counting  
managers, executive consultants, commentators, special referees), that leaves  
one match (assuming they aren't counting run-ins, locker room brawls, fights  
in the stands) of four wrestlers.  A tag match mayhaps?  What teams are left?   
We have the 'whackers (Not bloodly likely!), High Energy, the Headshrinkers,  
and Brunzell and Powers.  Of course, it would be like Vince to hastily  
assemble four wrestlers into a tag match.

We can either assume that, OR (as has been rumored) change match 7 to a tag  
strap match.  But we'd still need eight men to keep the star count at 26, so  
ok, an 8 man tag.  Maybe some single wrestlers in it.

What this comes down to is there is now only a VERY small chance that we will  
see a single Survivor Series type match on this card.  How sad, especially  
when you consider that this type of match is featured on the SNES WWF  
cartridge.

Oh well, times change, and Vince changes with them.

Well, I used to be a regular writer for Faces, a heavy metal magazine. At
the time, Lorna Alexander was my Editor. She's now at Guitar for the 
Practicing Musician. Anyway, she lives in Jersey, close to Danzig, and knows
him VERY well. She told me many things about him, and one of them is that
he used to be a wrestler in the late 70s. If I remember right, she said it
was mostly in the Northeast, around NY/NJ.

Drop her a line at Guitar... if you don't believe me. Don't mention my name.

Organization: The Ohio State University

There has been some recent discussion and description of wrestling moves and 
submission holds and their variations. For example, the Japanese wrestling 
features variations of holds used in the U.S. and some holds not often seen in 
the WCW or WWF or other U.S Leagues.  The Fantasy Wrestling League probably 
uses and/or describes a better range of moves and holds than we actually see?
Whatever happened to the Abdominal Claw or Brain Claw? The Indian Death Lock?
Abdominal Stretch used as submission? Flying Hammerlock? Bow and Arrow aka 
Suspended Crossbow? It might be useful as wrestling "vocabulary" to have a list
or video catalog of new and/or old wrestling moves and submission holds, 
similar to the FAQ.  Any room for discussion or listing of such a thing for 
this group ?  Comments/additions welcome by  e-mail too!

I'm sure Paul will end up as a name jobber again, but not quite yet.  Give

Yes.  Also, she did wrestle in a single's match against Sensational
Sherri.  As far as I'm concerned, this was one of the WWF's lowest
moments for two reasons:  1) Sherri was a former AWA and WWF World
Champion, so this should have been a horrible mismatch, but it wasn't,
and 2) Saphire won by pinning Sherri, but she was so overzealous in
the rollup that she actually lifted Sherri's shoulders *completely*
off the mat by rolling Sherri all the way over onto her *head*.

Despite the fact that Sherri's shoulders were not even touching the
mat, the ref kept counting, the announcers didn't complain, and
Savage and Sherri didn't say anything about the non-pin.  I know there's
a script, but you'd think when something unexpected happens they
could go with it.  The ref could have stopped the count and the
match could have ended differently.  The ref could have counted the
pin, and there could have been controvery about it.  But NO, since
the script called for a pin at that point it didn't matter what
happened, it would be counted as a pin.
