Well, the goatee and the rabid foaming helped a bit, but half the time, the 
voice-distortion was self-distorted, like his interview at Survivor Series.

 Today's Rasslin' Column in the The Toronto Daily Star wasn't too 
eventful (said Reporter clearly doesn't follow Wrestling and just 
generally rehashes past events and whatever "media clippings" Tunney 
feeds him, besides his "other" column is European Soccer (zzz) or 
Cricket (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)). 
 
 Lately he has been more informative (swear either he or a friend is 
on Rose and following this <C>onference <News>group or whatever the 
nit pickers wish to label it).
 
 Items of interest:
 
 Opinion that Rude is on his way out of the WCW (something as an 
elimination Series to provide a Contender to his U.S. Hvywght Title 
and a MUST Defend date of Jan 23 and the Doctors have mentioned 6+
weeks of R&R).
 
 The next comment did raise my eyebrows, ahem Kevin (NAILZ) Kelly has
filed SEXUAL ASSAULT charges against Vince (verbatim quote). I don't 
believe this, Kelly isn't a "prettyboy" perhaps he's hoping for a
generous "out of court settlement" in lieu of the previous Media 
Attention and Larry King's Staff?
 
 Next, Max Moon has been giving his walking papers (wonder if he got 
to keep the togs)!
 
 The Steiners will be debuted in the weekend Syndies (wonder what the
packaging will be, surely something fancier than those University of
Michigan jackets, that's a guess frankly can't remember the exact 
Logo).
 
 Hopefully the "action" will pick up next week when our <N>et Experts 
are back "to the grind" and a Terminal..;-)

If you can watch this tape, do it! Someone on the net was nice enough to
let me borrow it from them last year, and I taped it all. There are some
really wild matchhes besides the Lawler/Funk one. Fantastics/Moondogs
was also pretty sweet. Still "My eye, My eye" remains with me....

As if it needed any more subsatnce, matches for a tournament for the
US Belt were held at the last Center Stage taping. A friend who went
said that two matches were Steamboat defeating Windham and Duh-ustin
defeating either Jack or Atlas (he couldn't remember which). He said that
these were semi-final matches (setting up a Duh-ustin/Steamboat final)
but I wonder whether they weren't quarter-finals. In any case, it's now
clear that Daddy Bill has his son set on the big prize. Wonderful.
There's a good chance that Michael "Don't Quit" Branch and I will be

Ya know...take away that silly "rap" (well, "talk" at the beginning,

Admit it. Your toes tapped.

But you could get a real sense of the time-element involved. When they
filmed the video, Savage was still an Ultimate Maniac, and I'm sure
Davey Boy was still I-C champ (seeing as he lost his belt and his
career in the WWF at the same time, more or less).

Makes me wonder if there wasn't an Ultimate Warrior section in the
video that had to be edited out. Why would they use Ultimate Maniac
Savage and not Ultimate Maniac Warrior? (Sorry if that sounds
markish..it was intended to<g>)

Gee...I never knew Lawler had done work outside the WWF...I thought Vince 
LIKED bringing in over-the-hill guys as rookies...
 
Despite the fact that Lawler's been king for as long as I can remember, I've 
never liked him (and boy, was it difficult to root for Kerry Von Erich at 
Super Clash III), and I probably never will. He's basically the Hulk Hogan 
of Memphis: No matter what he does, the promoters still make him top dog. It 
gets old after a while...

Subject: More on Nailz's firing
Organization: AT&T
Distribution: usa
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1992 16:01:32 GMT


	There is more information surrounding Kevin "Nailz" Wacholz's 
firing:

	There seems to be agreement by Vince and Nailz that
an argument took place between the two of them concerning
the payoff Nailz got for SummerSlam. Nailz 
then got into it with Vince. WWF officials found
Nailz all over a helpless Vince. Nailz was pulled off. Wacholz
then called 911...It gets wilder!

	Nailz claims that he was sexually assaulted by Vince.
Vince allegedly grabbed Nailz's crotch and Nailz claims that
there were WWF officials who saw that. That is what provoked Wacholz to
attack Vince. On the advice of Nailz's lawyer, Wacholz had no further
comments. Wacholz is a legit tough-guy (having won a Tough
Man contest in Minnesota).

	Police reports have Skaaland, Slaughter and Owen Hart
at the scene of the crime. It was Slaughter, Monsoon,
Dave Hebner and Skaaland that pulled Nailz off McMahan. 

Now, some personal commentary:

It is ironic that I post this on New Years Eve. In my opinion,
the WWF Sexual Harrassment charges is one of the biggest out of the 
ring stories of this or any other year.

Nailz may have cleverly cried "sexual harrassment" even though it is
untrue. In a court of law, Nailz's lawyer may try to establish
McMahan as someone who's past history shows that he has done this type
of thing ("...I now call Superstar Billy Graham to the stand...").
Rather than fight and have all these allegations come out in a court of law, 
Vince may just settle out of court.

Do you watch the WCW syndies?  That's where Jesse usually is.  He does
not do the TBS shows.

I do not watch the syndies, so I do not know if he has quit doing WCW
World Wide.  As far as the arm wrestling contest goes, how can you say
he was dropped from that?  He presented a plaque to Van Hammer after
he won the whole thing, so he was there until the end.

>Has he been terminated by WCW and/or jumped ship to WWF or another

He is currently suing the WWF, from what I've heard, so I doubt he'll
end up there.  Then again, maybe he will.  Bruno Sammartino's lawsuit
against the WWF ended up with him as color commentator and his son
as a wrestler.

I haven't heard or seen Charlie since 74-75. He had a restaurant
in San Ramon, which I'm sure has long been sold. He used to
live in San Leandro up on the hill above the Hospital. The homes
overlooking the Bay and costing lots of bucks.

Truly the greatest skater. He had so many broken right wrists and
forearms such that a whole industry was seeminly invented around his 
injuries. The 1st removeable plastic casts were designed for him. This 
was to protect his fragile bones while skating or after a break (which
was frequent) but allow him time to air his skin and excercise his
tendons. Now we have heavy aluminum and cloth with Velcro.
