Not gonna happen. I think it would be best for both sides, but it's not

I agree. His work ethic (what there is of it) is questionable, he
is injury prone, he has a huge ego, and he has this annoying habit 
of playing softball in the summer.

Depends on how McMahon books him. If McMahon books Davey Boy the way
he has booked Flair (one good match to win the title and then lots 
of squeaker/screw job wins) then Davey Boy will remain the bloated
wrestler with the low work rate that we've been seeing lately. However 
(and it's a big however), if McMahon allows Davey Boy to show what he
can do, and if McMahon books him properly, and if McMahon allows Davey 
Boy to bulk down, then we could see some good matches from DBS. 

#		Hart is over rated
#		anyway.

I agree. I haven't been impressed with his work lately. I'm not sure
if it's bad booking, bad opponents, or bad wrestling, but Hart hasn't
lived up to the billing he has received on r.s.p-w lately.

A 10-minute time limit draw. Good match though. I'm sure Otto will
put it on his permanent wrestling tape. I did. (FWIW, I also put
the Pillman/Austin match on my permanent wrestling tape.)

Isn't that why Arn had the TV title for soooo long? He's a hell of a
wrestler, and a hell of a company man, but he just doesn't draw the
way a champion should. Until Watts can convince people that wrestling
IS the name of the game (and not gimmicks or make up or muscle size)
Arn will remain at the card level he's at.

Agreed. I thought that The Widowmaker was the perfect character for
Windham. It fit his personna and his tall, lanky build quite well
and he handled the gimmick quite well. An inspired bit of booking
by McMahon/Patterson/whomever.


BTW - why to you type all of your posts so far away from the 
left margin?
