After seeing WCW Main Event last night and reading this, I'm beginning to 
think Cactus Jack may be his replacement if Hammer can't work the CoC. 
Considering the post-match interview (if you can call anything involving 
Michael Hayes and a madman with a shovel an interview), it's obvious Cactus 
will get involved in Thundercage, and Hammer's injury leaves an opening...
 
Of course, doing this would require turning him face, but afterwards, he 
could mess up Sting and Simmons with something big and heavy, like a garbage 
can. :)

   Funnily enough, while I agreed with most everything you said, I
  actually thought the crowd was pretty dead. Certainly a change
  of pace from all the canned heat (Time Was) that they usually
  pump at us. Other than seeing kids chasing and hitting Doink

  something so out and out racist and offensive that they get their

Well, in the mid-80's he brought in the Spoiler as a National champion,
and the belt looked just like the NWA's National Championship.  He seemingly
"stole" the women's titles, which until then were shared by all promotions.
You mention the Japanese title.  I believe Dino Bravo also came into
the WWF with another federation's belt (which disappeared after a while).
Then there's the infamous Flair incident with the NWA/WCW belt.

Much of this is, admittedly, from a mark perspective.  Perhaps all of
this was a work, like Flair's title, but at the time it seemed to me
that McMahon had somehow got wrestlers from other promotions to leave
with their belts.  Can anyone elaborate on these incidents?

>Any more info on McMahon's belt-pinching? And are we talking Junior or
>Senior?

Junior as far as I know.  His father ran the promotion when it would
work *with* other promotions.  It was a different time -- which is
not say say he wasn't (or was) as slimy as his son.

Lesse, most of the "it's not my fault" interview stuff was from NWA
in mid 80's, round 86, before his face turn when he was reunited with
his "brother" Ronnie.  His World Class days were around 83, he switched
teh Texas title back and forth with David quite a few times, and also
held the American title once, winning it from Kevin VE, and losing it
to Chris Adams (if my mmory serves...)  Before that, he was in Florida
where he also did some decent work...

  In Japan, it's not at all uncommon to see suplexes off the turnbuckles.
  They occur with the suplexer on the second or third rope (would you
  include these separately?  The second rope variation is what we are
  used to calling a superplex.  What's the third rope one called?)
  
  You're right that only the more generic versions of suplexes (vertical,
  belly-to-back, belly-to-belly) are physically possible from the ropes.

  Maybe superplex should be defined in brackets after the vertical
  suplex.  Really all of them can be describe as a (...) suplex off the
  nth rope.

I have to throw my hat in here as well. When Dave came out with tape
number two, I suddenly noticed something when I went to order mine:
The Canadian - American exchange rate!

Herb's tape was $25 Canadian, which (by today's prices) is less than
$20 American. Dave's ended up costing me about $35, and that was when
the Canadian dollar was stronger. While proposed Tape #3 looks inviting,
the cost of it has become more than I'm willing to shell out.

If you guys want to keep charging $25, that's your perogative. I certainly
think you deserve to make a little profit for your efforts, but with
the number of people buying, a more reasonable profit margin is
acceptable. Once the master tape is made, the only work involved is
inserting the tapes and turning the VCR's on for 6 hours.

Again, no offence meant to any of the parties involved.

  This isen't true.  There was a little cornerback for the Redskins in
the '70s, who was 5'7" and weighed 170.  He could HIT!  In a highlight
film on *This is the NFL*, I saw him put a 230 lb. fullback down, in
his tracks, with a perfect tackle.  One of the best nosetackles in the
NFL, Tim Krumrie (Bengals), is smaller than average.  He doesn't get
pushed all over the field.

  Vader, in the same neighborhood in skill as Liger????  BWA-WHA-HA-HA!
Agree that if Vader does get a handhold, it's probably over - but what if
he doesn't get a handhold.  What happens if Liger hits Vader right in the
nose, full force, with a drop-kick?  Vader goes down with a broken nose,
game over.  Rem: He quit a match because he broke his wrist.  With his
nose broken, not only is he bleeding all over his face, he's choking on
the blood, too.

  Having just finished watching my tape of last week's (well

  wonder if people would be interested in me posting a summary,
  much in the same way as Smokey Mountain is done here. The reason
  that I bring this up is that while I can't provide the insights
  and house show reports that our poster from Memphis does so 
  well, I could go into much more detail with the television tapings,
  as each one is always inspired...
   The drawback would be that we see the shows down here on something
  like a two week delay. So, one would have to keep in mind that I'm
  merely "fleshing out" the plots that the other USWA poster has 
  touched upon earlier. But there are so many incredible moments; remember,
  this is the organization that had Gilbert hit Lawler with his car...

I disagree.  I was, two years ago, a 400 pound bencher.  There is a big
difference between moving dead and live weight, even if the live weight

Absolutely.  The momentum that is given by a slight jump by Andre is a
bigtime help to anyone trying to move him.

While it is true that Liger against the big guys looks unrealistic, that
should not detract from an intelligent appraisal of his ability.  Julio
Cesar Chavez is probably the world's best boxer.  By your theory, he is
nothing because he would lose to Riddick Bowe.  That is not a fair way
to judge an athlete.  You have to judge him on skill and what he does
against similar sized opponents.

In addition, the Tyson bit seemed to last for what, about twenty
