A DISGRUNTLED WWF FAN
Written by reader: Roy Bhandari (Three1Six)
Wrestling Sucks! I never thought I would say this but wrestling is
really starting to wear off me and I just cannot watch it anymore. I
consider myself a huge fan of the WWF and lately it has gone down the
drain.

No, this is not because Austin has disappeared, no this is not because
the Big Show is the World Champion, it is because of the mediocre shows
they are putting on every week. I live in England and we don't get RAW
until Friday so I do read "Spoilers" and after reading them, I have no
desire whatsoever to go and watch the show, especially since I can
think of a lot better things to do on a Friday night.

There are a number of things that I think the WWF are doing wrong:
1) Degrading the WWF Title. I think that Big Show could be a
respectable champion BUT what the hell is WWF doing? Putting him
against Big Boss Man? Opening the Smackdown card against Chris
Jericho? Hardcore Holly?
What is this? This is NOT how to put someone over. He needed to get
out of the Boss Man feud before winning the World Strap. I only hope
that the Bossman/Big Show match is midcard for Armageddon and
Undertaker interferes, causing Big Show to win but loses it later on in
the night to the Undertaker because the WWF have degraded Big Show and
the World Title.

2) Having a woman as IC Champion. No disrespect to women wrestling
fans, but honestly, what has the world come to? Chyna, another
mediocre performer, and Jericho carried her ass to a decent match.
There is a lot of rumors about Jericho "paying his dues" but having
anyone job to a woman wrestler is downright degrading. Jericho is WAY
better than this and I think Chyna is starting to get a little over her
head. She was good as Triple H's "lacky" and that is about it.

3) Triple H v Vince McMahon. This in itself is a good angle, but
haven't I seen all this before? The boss, putting a wrestlers back
against the wall in EVERY single match yet that certain wrestler always
manages to find a way out? Hmm, brings me back to the Austin v McMahon
feud. It's been done. You can tell that the WWF are all out of idea's,
they are doing what has already been done. Triple H is doing well in
this role and in my opinion is the best heel since Vince and has filled
his boots well. Why the hell did they reform DX? We want DX to be
doing their skits and hilarious interviews. Have we seen this? Nope.
Another desperate move by the WWF because they didn't think before they
did it.

4) Pushing wrestlers, too far, too quick. This was a problem with a few
of the last PPVs. Val Venis, in my opinion, is a tremendous talent and
can be pushed if done well. The Mankind feud was too quick for him and
the WWF didn't get him over before pushing him. Same with Big Show/The
Holly's. The opposite to this is once someone is actually over, they
don't push them. Perfect example, Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian.
Neither of them have received proper pushes.

I just thought I'd throw in my two cents and hope you read it. If you
want to give me some feedback, go ahead, my E-Mail address is
Three1Six

Let me know by the subject what it is (I.e. Booking Sheet Feedback or
whatever) so I wont delete it.
Thanks,
Roy Bhandari

IN DEFENSE OF THE WWF
Written by reader: Chris Davis (cd7890)
Isn't it funny that people aren't willing to take responsibility for
themselves and just throw it on some other person or group? I'm tired
of these people trying to eliminate WWF programming. This is America,
land of the free. Why is it that people see fit to take it upon
themselves and make a mockery of the document that made this country
what it is today? Why is it people think that they can make up our
mind about what we can watch and can't watch.

I say be a responsible parent and tell your kids what they can and what
they can't watch instead of blaming somebody else and thinking that
your in the right when it isn't true.

Let me tell you something.....

When I was a little kid and something was on that my parents didn't
approve of me watching, they'd just say, "Chris, listen, I don't want you
to watch this show. So if I catch you watching this show I'll make
sure you regret it." They would leave it at that. Then you know damn
well I wasn't about to watch it. If your children watches a
objectionable show then that's your bad parenting. That's no one
else's fault but your own.

I admit, there are certain things on television like ECW and the WWF
(and now WCW) that children under a certain age shouldn't be watching,
but it's up to you to make sure they don't watch it. It's your job.

That's like saying "Guns kill so many people, I think we should
petition for the removal of guns from the public market". We all know
that that is just B.S.

So friends, I encourage you all to support the WWF, whether you like
them or not) and send letters and E-Mail's to their sponsor's thanking
them for staying with the WWF and stating how much you disapprove of
the PTC.

Also, E-Mail and write the people of the PTC, and I don't mean being
immature and sending them hate mail, and tell them how much you enjoy
the WWF's programming and how their methods are preposterous.

Cite the positives of the WWF while not overlooking its negatives.
Together we can overcome this. Please send this message to everybody
on your list (Canadians included). E-Mail to friends also. Thank you
for your time.......
-Chris Davis

Ultimate Pro Wrestling: Entertainment Overload
You can probably hear it all over Huntington Beach like echoes in a
country valley. The screaming of the torture. Dropkicks, leglocks,
clotheslines, hurricaranas and even chair shots. This is the sound of
the stars of Ultimate Pro Wrestling training and getting ready for
their next big show.

So far this year, the UPW has invaded famous theatres like The Coach
House and The Roxy. Being billed as the next 'big thing' is something
to live up to and this company does it well. But there is only one
direction for this fast growing company and that's up, straight to the
top.

Already familiar with the TV and movie screen by appearing in such
shows as ER, GvsE, City Guys, Later, Mad About You, Drew Carey, rap
videos and of course Universal Soldier: The Return, these mastadons are
ready to
invade one of the worlds most famous theatres.

On December 2nd, 1999, Ultimate Pro Wrestlings takes center stage at
none other than the ROXY in Hollywood! That's right, this mega event
will rock the foundations of this historic venue. With the high flying,
heart stopping, breath taking action you will find out firsthand why
many see UPW rising to the top.

With 6 of our athletes already signed to a WWF contract this year
alone, you will be witnessing the birth of new superstars as they
collide in the grandest of all independent promotions. This year has
seen a lot of the top promotions stars come out to join UPW in making
every show a show to remember. We've had Kanyon, Rob Van Dam, Sting,
Ivory, UFC champion Oleg Taktarov to name a few. Who will show up at
the next show? Can anyone topple the UPW Champion MadDog Mike Bell? Who
will be the next UPW star to sign a major contract with the WWF or WCW?
There's only one way to find out and that's to come out and cheer, boo,
or just sit back and enjoy quality sports entertainment at a UPW show.

UPW is the future and the future is now!
