    What's with Ric Flair?  Does he have a chance against the Hulkster?
    And what's with Kevin Sullivan?  Didn't he used to have brown hair?
    Was he from Boston or Southie or something?
    

Is Bob Backlund still on the comeback trail?

    Rumor has it that Flair will lose to the HH guy and retire.
    
    Here's hoping Kevin Sullivan starts up the Varsity Club again!!!

          Anyone see Kevin Sullivan beat the hell out of his brother this
    weekend?
    
    
    Chap

 yes I did Chappy. He deserves it for his hogan wannabe attitude.......

 Rumors run rampant that Flair will indeed do the job again for Hulkie
 Hogan and then retire.

 Rumor has it that after that Hogan will fight Vadar under the condition 
 that Vadar tones down his act and promises not to hurt Hulkie as well
 as loose. Hogan was scared stiff to fight Vadar unless Vadar agreed
 to go easy. Here's hoping that Vadar says screw the script and lays
 a beating on Hogan.

 Also of note Johnny B. Badd finally has a belt. US TV Champ if I'm not
 mistaken. Well deserved imo.

    Did Koko B. Ware turn up anywhere?  How much stock on WWF must people
    like Johnny "I always get pounded" Rodz and those guy have?
    

    George "The Animal" Steele has more hair on his back than most of
    younzes have on yer haid. (Notice I mention nuthin about my haid)
    
    The guy is a freak of nature(although I think mother nature would issue
    a disclaimer about him).
    
    Wrasslin' is nuthin but choreographed dance by 'roid users.

    Compare that to boxing....

    Boxing, Wrestling, doesn't matter.

  Saying that wrestling is fixed is sort of like saying that the sword fight in
Hamlet is fixed. Think about it, you can watch Hamlet 100 times and each time
Hamlet gets nicked by the poison sword, knocks the sword out of the guy's hand,
switches swords, then runs the guy through. 

  So is the sword fight in hamlet "fixed"? Well I don't think so, it's more
blocked, rehearsed and acted. Same with Wrestling. 

  Boxing is different. Sure no doubt there have been guys taking dives, I never
really believed that stuff about Sony Liston and Ali's "anchor" punch, but
it's not really a play in which the moves are planed and rehearsed they way
they are in Hamlet and in Wrestling.

  Same thing by the way in King Lear. Edgar and Edmond have it out a couple
times and both fights always seem to come out the same way.

       Then I guess you already know that Michael "Mediocre Mike" Carbajal 
       is going to get his no talent butt kicked again by the guy who
       smacked the dog snot out of him and took his title. 

    Not until he gets his "Get Out of Jail Free" card.

    
      Chiquita Gonzalez is in jail? I guess then Lopez, Griffen or 
     Johnny Tapia will have to kick Carbajal's butt. They're all 
     capabale of it.

    I thought Carbajal was in jail for something...
    

    That's what I meant.  Carbajal has had some recent run-ins with the
    law.

    Toro Tenaka >> Dr. Fuji >> Chief Jay Strongbow >> Bruno Samartino >>
    Victor Rivera >> Killer Kawalski.

    re Bruno Samartino:
    
    Now there's a legend!  My mother-n-law, alias Dragon Lady, dated him
    for a while.  I can see her now...putting him in a bone-crushing
    leg drop.
    
    Saw him in a steel cage match with Rowdy Roddy Piper.  In was in the
    Gahden just after the Pats were humiliated by the Bears in Super Bowl
    (?).  Piper gets in first and commences to 'decorated' the walls of the
    cage with posters of da Bears.  Bruno comes running onto the scene and
    the 'battle' is joined.  It ends with Piper's head being 'split' open
    on the cage and Bruno depositing the aforementioned posters in Piper's
    ....errr...."where the sun don't shine".
    
    My first and last trip to the circus they call 'wrasslin'!

re: .17

Really?  Gawd, Bruno must have been 73 years old by 1985.  I 
remember him taking a sabattical in the 70's to get a hair 
transplant (or was it a face lift?) because McMahon thought he 
was too old then.

re: .16

Yabbut who was better, Black Jack Mulligan or Black Jack Lanza 
(was he the brother of Mario Lanza?)?

Wow, I'm out and busy for ONE day and we end up with a wrasslin' topic.

Oh well, no nevermind.  I don't mind....8^)


I haven't watched wrasslin' in a while though.....


'Saw

    If you can have a big discussion about huntin', you can one for
    wrasslin'.

    Barry Windham was a Greg Allman looking pretty boy wanna be...
    

    Anybody see the movie "Ed Wood", about the man generally accepted as
    the worst director of all time?  Our hero of yesteryear, George "the
    animal" Steeele has a major role.  Rumor is he's really good!

    Whatever happened to Ivan Putski, the Polish hammer?

    Polish power, bruddah!!!
    

    
    	Eddie Andleman has Polish Power on his show once in a while....last
    time was a few months ago.
    

                      
    Anybody else catch that truly absurd, out-loud-laughable tear-jerker of
    a commercial put on by the WWF during the football game Saturday?  The 
    one where they say that in these troubling times of baseball and
    hockey players ruining our country's youth, the WWF won't ever let
    you down; your kids will always have the WWF to turn to for heroes?
    I'd swear that it was all just a tongue-in-cheek spoof, where they 
    just edited out the scene for length with the syringes scattered 
    around Vince McMahon's throne... ;-)
    
    glenn
    

    I saw that... I thought it was on hardcore TV...
    

    Ok,
    
    So, who's got what title?  WWF?  AWA?  NWA?  Heavyweight?  Tag team?
    Height challenged people?  Women?  What happened to that league that
    Tonya was offered a contract in?  How is that American sumo wrestler
    doing?  Anymore short guys putting silicone in their haid?

	WCW Heavyweight Champ"		Rick Flair - althought they recoginize
						     Hogan, I know he quit 
						     in Flair's figure 4

       HULK HOGAN HAS TURNED BAD.

    Minor nit:  the Hulkster has always been a very bad wrestler; he just
    turned to the dark side in the most recent WCW PPV.
    
    NAZZ

    Hulkster came up as a bad guy back in the early 80's, he used to
    wrestle all-american Bob Backlund every other week somewhere.....
    
    the circle is complete
    
    Jimbo

    re-  the circle is complete
    
    
      Now maybe he'll retire, please!
    
      Tim

Y'all telling me that the Hulkster has turned into a circle jerk?

TTom

    The Hulk Hogan VS Andre the Giant Cage Match was a classic, Hulk
    use to fight Andre and Backland every other week.... He use to
    where these Metal Arm rings aroudn his upper arm (For medical 
    reasons the WWF couldn't make him remove them ) :-)....
