[INFO] Hack Notes 22 February 1995

[heue...@gold.tc.umn.edu]

Michael Hayes is scheduled to have a tryout as color commentator of
Monday Night Raw.

For the "real names" FAQL: Hakushi (Kensuke Shinzaki) was born 2
December 1967 and started with Michinoku Pro on 11 June 1993.

For people who missed MNRaw last Monday, Sid is Michael's bodyguard
(as I reported last week).

After the live Raw, they taped two more weeks. Razor Ramon beat
Bigalow. Michaels (with Sid) beat DBS cleanly after a superkick to
the chin.

WCW has dropped two of the four Clash of Champion shows (June and
November) to replace them with PPVs. This brings the 1995 PPV count
up to nine.

WCW refs are how wired with ear pieces so they can relate instructions
from the locker room to the wrestlers. They will only do this for TV
tapings and possibly PPVs and Clashes.

WCW tried harder to get Sabu for their Light HW division last week.
He turned them down again.

WCW officials took away "Shoot, Vader, Shoot" and "Hogan Blows" signs
from fans during SuperBrawl.

The soonest we'll see the Steiners in WCW is April.

WCW was planning to have the Vder/Hogan match at SuperBrawl end when
one of the wrestlers juiced, which would set up a "no stoppage due to
blood" rematch between the two at the "WCW Uncensored". Upper
management at TBS vetoed this due to the publicity Gene's DeathLine
has been getting. They wanted something more wholesome for the
kiddies for damage control.

No offense.... but if you all your are going to do is quote things right
out of the newsletters (torch), you should at least give them credit for
your info.
