UNDERTAKER'S ROLE?
The first is The Undertaker. We're happy to report that UT returned to
action over the weekend in Caguas, Puerto Rico, where he faced Kane in
the main event only to end up destroying Kaentai who ran in, making
the whole thing a no contest. It appears that he'll be back on the
live RAW next Monday...and will be the "Him" behind the Acolytes.

TANAKA VISA
Odd story coming out now... apparently Masato Tanaka is having trouble
getting his work visa and will now work the FMW tour in January (why
do I have trouble believing this story? Hmmm... first the Candido
no-show, then FMW won't pay the ECW guys, and now this.) I really
have to wonder what this does for his status on the ECW PPV as well.

SANDMAN FINALLY DEBUTS
Thunder saw the long awaited debut of Sandman & Chastity. For those
of you not familiar with ECW, Sandman was James Fullington, Raven's
friend who pushed Kanyon in the pool; Chastity was Raven's sister.
While I know that the skits are pretty campy, I am enjoying Raven's
trip home. Scott Levy is a terrific actor......

NORTON UNHAPPY
Scott Norton is said to be unhappy with his loss of the IWGP title.
Apparently he was promised a longer title run. Reports are the New
Japan - WCW relationship is on the rocks again. Reported by Micasa
at: http://www.wrestlemaniacs.com/

LOU THESZ UNINJURED
Six time NWA World Champion Lou Thesz suffered a major car accident on
1/2, totalling his car about 100 miles from St. Louis, driving in from
Virginia in a blizzard to attend Sam Muchnick funeral. Fortunatly, he
was fine.
(Reported by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer)

ALL JAPAN/WWF?
Kenta Kobashi of All Japan Pro Wrestling talked about The Rock or
Austin as potential opponents for this year's Tokyo Dome event. At
this point negotiations haven't even been opened for this to happen.
(Reported by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer)

SAVAGE'S VALET
The working idea for Randy Savage's new female valet is Gorgeous
George; the two are slated to feud with Bischoff & Elizabeth, among
others. It may be a month or two before Savage is ready to wrestle,
though.
(Reported by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer)

SOULED OUT MAIN EVENT
The main event for the 1/17 Souled Out PPV looks to be Goldberg VS.
Scott Hall with a taser on a pole. (Reported by Dave Meltzer of The
Wrestling Observer)

"IF THE NITRO BIMBOS WERE PRESIDENT"

BY SAMJERRY
VISIT my Home Page: http://members.aol.com/~samjerry

1. The Capital would be change weekly and be located at a "No
Happening" place that has nothing better to do than stage a "NITRO
Party." Care would be exercised not to conflict with other exciting
events at these locations such as "The Annual Watching The Grass Turn
Brown Ball" and "The Winter Watching Our Dogs Turn The Snow Yellow
Mixer."

2. The Bimbo's joint autobiography, "T*ts Beat Talent Every Time" or
"Someone Has To Keep The Viewers Awake" would serve as an inspiration
for every young girl that ever tripped over her own feet at the Junior
Prom. One chapter, "How To 'Bare Your Bosom On National TV And Not Get
Fired," brings goose bumps to the reader.

3. Appointees: All positions in the government will filled by The
Bimbos themselves, with Chastity, The Ultimate Blonde Bimbo's Bimbo,
available for consultation and support, and Debra McMichael only a
phone call away.

4. The top Christmas toy would be Dancing Bimbo Barbi's Broadway Stage
Show, complete with each of the NITRO Bimbos in various Short Shorts
and Tiny Tops outfits; Choreographer Ken not included, but available
with all of his friendly dancing buddies at additional cost. It would
be available at Dance Schools everywhere and at The NITRO Announcers
Desk. Note: Those purchased at the Announcers Desk cannot be returned
just because they have tongue tracks on them. They can also be found
at all Bimbos "R" Us Stores, may be ordered on the Internet at
www.KimsBims or by calling 1-800-2LFTFEET.

5. If Saddam got out of line, The Bimbos would threaten to go to Iraq
and stage a NITRO Party. In a Man On The Street Segment, CNN quoted
Iraqi citizens as saying they would prefer Desert Storm pick up where
it left off.

6. The National Symbol would be a group picture of The Bimbos holding
up their IQ Test Scores. This would also prove that each of their
scores do in fact exceed their bra sizes.

7. New rules for NITRO Parties would be introduced. Parties would be
held monthly instead of Quarterly. The "winning" entry would have a
catered party hosted by Mumbles, and the runner-up would win two
parties.

8. The military would be would consist of enlistees signed up at each
NITRO Party. After all anyone hard-up enough to tape themselves having
their very own NITRO Party definitely needs to get a life and can use
a change of scenery.

9. The dollar bill would have Shae and Whisper's Picture getting down
on one side, and Kimberly laughing all the way to the bank on the
other.

10. The women of the WWF would have contracts put out on them by the
Bimbos, who say this country isn't big enough for both of them.

if he could beat Nash on Monday NItro...that he could take the spot of
the Giant in the NWO.

FANTASY BOOKING- THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN
Submitted by reader: Michael Harsha (Fanged_one)
Nitro-11 Jan:
Ric Flair calls Goldberg out to the ring to apologize to him for what
happened last week. Flair says he will do everything in his power to
make it up to him. Goldberg says that the only thing Flair can do is
to give him a title shot against Hogan and for
Flair to stay out of the way after that. Flair says he will make it
happen.

Thunder 14 Jan:
At some point during the course of the show it comes out that the
Executive committee has ruled that because Nash was the last title
holder, he is the number 1 contender. The committee also rules that
Goldberg has to "climb the ladder" to get another title shot.
Goldberg confronts Flair and the rest of the Horsemen backstage
concerning the Exec Committee ruling. Flair tells Goldberg not to
worry about it and that he has everything under control. We find out
that Goldberg is going to meet Scott Hall at Sold Out. Flair tells
Goldberg it is the perfect match to not only take a big step up the
ladder, but to make Hall pay for what he did at Starcade. Goldberg
likes the idea and accepts the match.

Sold Out:
During the match the NWO presence is definitely felt. Goldberg stays
in the middle of the ring most of the time to prevent then from
interfering. Hall manages to get Goldberg to the ropes and then
distracts the ref while Nash gets in some cheap shots. At this point
Mongo and Benoit come down, followed by Arn and Ric. The match is
paused and Ric says that the NWO has to leave the ringside area. With
some prodding the NWO members leave. Goldberg ends up winning the
match.

Nitro 18 Jan:
Goldberg against Stevie Ray. Instead of not allowing nWo members to
be at ringside, Ric sends the Horsemen out with Goldberg. During the
course of the match there is some minor distractions by the nWo.
Chaos finally erupts. Mongo goes after Stevie Ray but accidentally puts
Goldberg down. Stevie Ray makes the
pin and gets the win. Goldberg gets in Mongo's face about it.

Thunder 21 Jan:
Mongo ends up costing Goldberg a match against Horace Hogan.

Nitro 25 Jan:
Goldberg and the Horsemen interview in the ring. Goldberg is still
upset that Mongo cost him the match against Stevie Ray. Mongo
apologizes and then says there is no love lost between us from when
you first came to WCW but on my honor as a Horsemen, I will help you
get your title. Later that night, Mongo helps Goldberg get a win over
Horace Hogan.

Thunder 28 Jan:
Backstage The nWo are talking with someone about Goldberg. They are
saying things like how they have him fooled and what an idiot Goldberg
must be to think that he will ever get the belt back. In a match
later against Bryan Adams, Mongo screws things up and Goldberg looses
the match.

Nitro 1 Feb:
Goldberg comes out to the ring for an interview with Gene about the
losses he is accumulating thanks to Mongo. Goldberg calls Mongo out.
Mongo enters the ring and wants to know what is going on. Goldberg
challenges Mongo to a match at the PPV. The rest of the Horsemen
appear. Flair asks Goldberg if he knows what he is
getting into challenging a member of the Horsemen. Goldberg says he
doesn't care and that he wants Mongo. Mongo agrees to the match. On
the shows building up to the PPV The Horsemen constantly run in and
beat Goldberg. Mongo, Benoit and a now healthy Malenko start beating
the big man down before the PPV.

PPV:
Benoit and Malenko are at ringside to watch the match. The match
isn't 5 minutes underway when the nWo appear. They storm the ring and
begin taking care of the Horsemen outside the ring. Nash gets into
the ring and helps Mongo beat on Goldberg. Arn comes out with a
baseball bat and starts hitting home runs, starting with Mongo and
Nash! Beniot and Malenko eventually overpower their attackers and
come in the ring, roll Nash out and start pounding on Mongo with
Goldberg. Once the three are satisfied, Goldberg raises his hand in
the sign of the Horsemen.

The next night on Nitro, Mongo comes out to the ring with the nWo
wearing an nWo shirt. Hogan cracks jokes about Goldberg trusting
Mongol. He then turns to Mongo and says, "But you know what Mongo?
You are even dumber for trusting us!" NWO attacks Mongo, leaving him
face down on the mat and spraypainted.
