DUSTY RHODES SPECIAL
REFEREE
Latest word is
that Dusty Rhodes will be the special guest ref for
the Ric Flair
vs. Eric
Bischoff match, where if Flair wins he will
allegedly be the new WCW
commissioner,
at Starrcade. This is such a great plot twist I
can't even do it
justice .
Anyone who was a fan in the 80s, even if they
weren't smart, knows
that Flair and
Rhodes were huge
rivals. If the fans know their history, they
realize how big
of rivals they really were and it just makes it all
the better.
With Dusty's
"turn" this past Monday, a myriad of questions are
now set up for the PPV bout. Did he really turn or
is it an NWO plot? Can he be fair with Flair in the
ring? Good booking.

STARRCADE
MATCHES
Some new
matches for Starrcade will probably be announced
soon as they have
added Kidman,
Juvi and Rey Jr. in a triangle match for the Cruiser
title and a
TV Title
rematch between Konnan and Chris Jericho. There is
talk that if Bret
Hart can go,
due to his bad groin, he will defend the
US title against Scott
Hall.

RUDE BACKSTAGE
AT NITRO
Rick Rude was
backstage Nitro on Monday, but he probably won't be
on TV until
Hennig recovers
from his knee injury. Hennig may miss his bookings
for the rest
of the year. (Reported by

GIANT BABA
RETURNS TO ACTION
Giant Baba
re-entered All Japan rings at the 12/4 AJ show, but
looked in bad
shape and
announced that he will take a long vacation starting
on 12/7 to go to
Honolulu, Hawaii. Baba
announced that he would go to the WWF Vancouver PPV
and
talk with WWF
officials about a co-promotional Tokyo Dome show in
1999. Baba
also announced
that Vader would most likely fight Mitsuharu Misawa,
the Triple
Crown champion,
the next tour (Reported by Micasa at:

THE GOOD, BAD,
AND THE UGLY.......
by Mark George (attkdonkey)
Time for
another installment of the Good, Bad and the Ugly.
But first, let me
update you all
on our Superhero, "Joe Wrestling Fan". It seems
"Joe" was at a
recent house
show and is about to report about his experience.
Stay tuned for
more.........
THE
GOOD.............
1) The return
of "HBK" Shawn Michaels. It may be only as the
Commissioner, but
it is great to
see Sexy Boy in action. In my opinion, one of the
best wrestlers
ever!!!!
2) Babu.
What!!??!! That's right, Babu. He may be weak and
dimwitted, but
there is
nothing more satisfying than watching that poor
little monkey spank get
tossed around
the ring like a rag doll.
3) Booker T.
One of my personal favorites. Good worker and
athletic for a big
man.
I'd love to see
him get a big push.
THE
BAD...........
1) Vincent. A
b**ch in every sense of the word. Why does he
exist?? Now that
Hogan has
retired, Vincent's days are numbered in WCW. Maybe
he can go back to
the WWF and
become one of the Godfather's hoes. Don't let the
door hit you in
the ass on the
way out, loser!!!!!
2) Mongo. What
a fantasy this guy is. Your wife is a bigger star
than you'll
ever be. What a
disgrace to the Horsemen to have that sack of crap
throwing up
the "4
Fingers". Do us all a favor Slappy, and go away!!!!!
THE
UGLY........
1) The Giant
exposing himself, "allegedly". What a sight that
must of been!!!
Nice going,
pig!!!! I can see it now, good ole Paul prancing
around the lobby
flashing his
"little nWoite" to all his loyal fans while he puts
it in a Choke
Slam. UgTriple
H!!! Hey Paul, maybe if you do the same routine for
Pat Patterson,
you'll get a
mega deal with the WWF.

its birthday weekend!
One year ago on
Dec 4, 1997, myself and Webmaster Lee put together
this little
site and one
year later as of 9:45 pm EST we have had 515,645
hits!!!! Can you
believe it!! I
am so happy and proud of all you guys for checkin'
out the site
and stickin' by
me through the past year. Whether you love what I
do or can't
stand it, I
hope I've been able to entertain you in some way!
Anyway, enough
mushiness, let
me just say that if we were an album, we'd be gold.
Let's set
our sights for
platinum...One Million hits! Alot of you guys have
asked what
happened to the
Jerichoholic Ninja. He was maliciously murdered by
Greenburg in
Rochester, New
York, after a spear to the groin. I told you
Greenburg was
propaganda!
The movie of
the week is the trailer for Star Wars 1-The Phantom
Menace. This
is going to be
the movie of the upcoming millenium! I can't wait
until May when
it arrives!
Stay tuned to this page for news of a real life
conspiracy going on
as we speak.
Once again WCW is banding together to try to make me
succumb and I
ain't backing
down. For everyone who knows what I'm talking
about, bear with
me. If you
don't, keep checking this site to find out more as
the plot sickens
I'm still
really diggin the new Metallica release and I'm
still trying to put
together next
year's tour. its hard to get it all started, but
I'm trying,
believe me!
Well, thanks again for the site's tremendous
success, be good to
each other and
God Bless you guys! -CJ

How did you
like refereeing their (Sunny & Sable) arm-wrestling
matches? Is
there anybody
in the current WWF you enjoy watching?......
I enjoyed the
arm wrestling thing, I got to go out and sing the
song and then be
part of a good
little thing they were using as a filler in the
cards that were
some what weak.
It was better to do that than mess with the Billy
angle.
I read once
that the driver that bought you guys to the ring at
WM-5 to sing
"Hunk-a hunk-a
Honky Love" was Diamond Dallas Page. True or
not?......
That is true.
Did you ever
lose a match to the Snake and have to have Damian
get thrown on
you? What was
that like? Did the guys in the locker room ever want
to steal
Damian and make
him into a pair of boots?......
I have had
Damian on me a few times and the guys always kicked
the snake while
it was in the
bag to make it mad.
How come you
left the WWF in 1990. You were currently in Rhythm &
Blues, and
was even listed
as a scheduled particiapnt in the 1991 Royal Rumble,
but you
disappeared
afterwards. How come?......
They had fired
Valentine at the time and I was doing commentary
with Daffy Duck
Piper and
McMahon. For some reason after 4 yrs. and 1500 shows
with out any
plane ticket
problems, Bruce Pritchard couldn't get me the
tickets to be on time
for the things
they had me doing. No one else had that problem,
Pritchard only
booked 6
commentators at the time. I felt there was someone
conspiring to get me
to crack and
leave, because they knew if they messed with the
travel that's what
I would do, and
I did it. Played right into their hand and did it
again this
time, but I
felt better about it this time. I used them for some
exposure, then
split.
Since you
competed in both WWF and WCW, which one did you
enjoy more? Do you
particularly
dislike any of the promoters like Bischoff?......
At that level,
they are all a bunch of liars.
Honky, I
thought I would throw a couple of names out there
and see what your
feelings are on
them. Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, Paul Heyman, Randy
Hales, Jerry
Jarrett, Terry
Funk, Bill Watts, Mick Foley, Gene Okerlund, Eric
Bischoff, Eddie
Gilbert, Pat
Patterson, & Dave Meltzer......
Hogan-Backstabber
Austin-Finally
got over
Funk-Good
politician
Heyman-Don't
know the guy
Jerry
Jarrett-Just another thief
Watts-Don't
know him either
Hales-Lawler's
suck up front man
Foley-A good
guy
Okerlund-A good
guy
Bischoff-Power
hungry "little man'
Gilbert-A good
guy
Patterson-Knows
how to play the game
Meltzer-Sold
out to WWF on Donahue show
I dont remember
who, but I know a wrestler said the Damien was the
worst thing
in the WWF. It
always "did its business" under benches and in
lockers, leaving
behind nice
piles of sh*t and bones. I also heard that Jake
brought it into the
showers with
him and would stick its head up against the stream
of water on high
and punch it as
hard as he could to mkae it mad, which always led to
Damien,
um....urinating
on the
wrestlers after
the match - ALWAYS. Any truth to any of these myths,
I know
that you said
Damien would get kicked, but truth to anything else.
And do you
think that
Damien was the worst thing in the WWF? Or did Jeff
Jarret steal that
spot, lol......
Jake never did
any harm to the snake. He would put him in the warm
shower before
the matches to
warm him up in the winter. Virgil was so afraid of
the snake. The
snake would
urinate, so do wrestlers.
We all know you
hated the Rockabilly angle but do you got anything
against
Rockabilly
himself?......
No, not at all.
Who do you
think was in the wrong at Survivor Series 97: Bret
for not dropping
the belt to
Michaels or Vince for double crossing Hart?......
I tend to pass
the most blame to Brett as far as creating what
happened to him,
but who am I to
pass judgment, I did it too with Savage. They can
screw anybody
at any time, no
one is exempt.

Well both Scott
Putski and Chris Adams works for us at Superstars of
Wrestling,
SSOW.
www.ssow.com . I am head of security for them, do
their website and do
squashes when
needed. I was at Adams house last week doing work
with him. It
is indeed an
angle they are working on. Adams is in the middle of
getting a new
contract with
more money. I know he is a jobber, but remember the
late 80's.
He had a great
battle with Terry Taylor in World Class and the UWF.
They became
very good
friends and that's how Adams even made it to WCW. To
quote Adams "I
was a good boy
in WCW for the first year, now they know I have a
good attitude
and will get a
small push. Some guys don't have a good attitude and
will
probably not be
around much longer. The Giant has a bad attitude but
the young
guys like
Jericho have great
attitudes" The
gimmick will have something to do with his Judo
background.
He wouldn't
tell me too much about it because he hates the
internet. He said he
might be
involved with Sonny Onno and Earnest
Miller..whooo..lol. I hate him
but he is funny
sometimes. -Mike

Ok, is it just
me, or is the LWO getting way too large?!? How many
members are
there now, 11?
That is getting out of hand. I liked seeing
highflying luchadores
against high
flying luchadores. But now, they are all together in
a stable, and
now we won't be
seeing the hardcore high flying, luchadore vs
luchadore, as much
as we used to.

I agree with
Rely...........I hate Bret hart, I swear to God, but
I know that
he's doing his
job and I don't act like a fool to him. After,
Wrestlemania 11, I
hate that man,
but I still held the door open for him to come
through, lol, and
he was smiling,
like for one, it can be expected, but another was
that I COULD
have let it
slam. That just reminded me of what one girl did at
Mania 12, that
dumbass girl,
lol, she hated Diesel and she was telling me how she
couldn't stop
laughing,
because as she was leaving the hotel and here is
Diesel coming out
behind her and
she let the damn door
slam behind her
or even maybe on his face. He caught it and goes 'Um
hello' and
she rolled, and
I was like "Geez H Christ, Diesel is one of the men
that MANY
love, wherever
he is and that was pretty rude. If you ask me, its
his job at
the time to be
bad, and she didn't have to be an ass to him, esp
since he's a
sweetie in
person!!"
That's what she
told me, she did it because he was being so mean not
to give
autographs and
i think at the time he wasn't supposed to because he
was bad,
lol!! But he
gave me one, hehe, heheh!!!:) Besides, he was
leaving as well,
from WWF!! But
I could've let the damn door slam on Bret, but he is
a star after
all and it is
rather rude!!! I don't think I would act like that
to Mark Henry.
I saw him once
in person
and was in awe,
lol, but he was busy!!! :) O and another rude one,
lol, was for
Lawler,
and I died,
because I was sitting in the restaurant and its a
side thing so
that you see
all the people walking to the elevators and get this
one, lol,
Lawler is
coming down with his G/F and this woman stands UP
and points her
finger and GOES
"YOUUUUUUUU, I HATE YOU" and he goes "Thanks"!!!!
LOLOLOL, too
funny!!!:) See
ya!!
