OK, Lets get a few things staight from the start:
-Yokozuna (correct spelling) is NOT going to challenge Bret Hart at Mania. He
may wrestle Bret Hart (I stress MAY), but he will NOT wrestle for the strap.
-Too Cold Scorpio is not that good. Sure he looks pretty good, and the extra
flips are nice, but he is all show. All the extra bits and flips and jumps
do not make his manuevers any more effective! Its just like the Franken-
steiner: Sure, it looks nice, but the Rockers used to do it every day.

Now that I have that out of my system, oon to bigger and better things...
-Does anyone else think that all this prediction over the Mania Main Event
and Rumble winner is kind of useless? McMahon probably won't know whats
going to happen for a while yet. Also, I get the strange feeling, that even
though it is only mockingly reported here, that Flair will be both Champ and
#1 contender. That way they can announce a new contender and therefore
choose anyone they want without having them win the Rumble. This would also,
as a side-effect, cheese-out all the built up expaectations, which happens to
be McMahon's for-tay (I don't knoe how to spell it so I'll do so phonetically)
-Can you imagine the kind of push Tatata-puke-ah would get if he could actually
wrestle?
-It has been said many times that Rude will probably win the WCW World Title
at Starcade. I tend to agree, but if I were Rude, I wouldn't want it. Think
about it. By beating Simmons, he loses his US Title. He then goes on to job
for Sting, so Sting can be champ again. That leaves Rude with Jack-shit. He
should just hold on to the US belt. That way he'll be a champion forever.
-Can anyone see the Headshrinkers as a good team? I cannot. Sure, they are
beating The Disasters, but that team is on its way out. These guys were in
the WWF for months, not even getting TV time until Money Inc. beat the
Disasters. I have to think they will sink to the level of feuding with the
Bushwhackers after their Disasters feud is over.
-Is there anyone else here that actually likes a wrestler from some reason
other than "He's a heel."?

"The Living Shall Fall,
The Dead Shall Rise,
PAPA SHANGO!!!! will reign
Over Tatanka's DEMISE!"

(and then The Undertaker will bury him in the white man's grave yard just
to piss him off. :)

Yep! The Undertaker... heel, face, slow work rate, fast work rate - don't
care. He brings out the mark in me (no pun intended)!

Okay since the semester coming to a close I can finally post this.
The following is what WWF or Mcmahan has planned in 1993 (or what they want
to do).

1)Bret Hart will lose title to Flair (that's a given, but just don't
know when. This will set up feuds for the title between Hennig,
Undertaker, and Bret Hart. Hogun will not return (yeah that's right).

2)The IC strap will be contended for by Tatanka, Janetty (will not win
at WM9), Yokazuna, and Bam Bam Bigalow. Shawn Michaels will drop it
sometime in the middle of next year. To who, I don't know. Oh, I
almost forgot, include Backlund and Crush to the list also. It seems
McMahn is going to give Backlund a title shot but its not going to
be the big one.

3)Steiners are not going to go after the tag belts right away. There
will be a feud with the Samoans. Nasty Boys are suppose to take the
belts from Money Inc. Also watch for something nasty to happen to
the mouth of the south.

Comments) What is with McMahan and giving the titles to people who has
once held them already. Such as Savage, Flair, Money Inc., Nasties
(hasne't happen yet), and Hart Foundation.

4)Look for people that are now heels to turn face like Yokozuna
(McMahan thinks maybe Yokozuna might fare better as face. then what
will happen to Fuji?), Lex Luger, Kamala (you all probably know this
one by now). Look for several faces to turn heel like Koko, Doink
(is that really his name?), and Lance Cassidy.

5)Don't expect Max Moon to be around much. Same with Damien Demento.
There will be also some new people coming over from other feds. Tony
Atlas, and Ventura might be back in WWF. Don't expect much wrestlin
from King Lawler either.


6)Rumors---> Warriormight be back! Yes you heard it hear. Ultimate
Warrior might be running around the WWF once again. McMahan spent alot
of $$ on promoting Warrior and merchandising isn't quite the same with
the disappearance by the Warrior.

THese are only the opinions. If it appears that I have info in on WWF happenin
I do in a way. But as many know McMahan changes his mind like a baby changes
diapers.


PS
Oh yes . . . many of you will find this interesting. The WWF executives do read this news group

On the subject of Shawn Micheals defending his title against Bob Backlund,
Bob is supposed to wrestle Micheals in early Feb at Hershey Park Arena for the
title. I don't think that Bob will win though.

Hart should drop the title to Flair in Jan. They keep talking about to much on
the shows that it surely is going to happen. This might set up some Flair vs
Perfect matches down the road after the Rumble.

With the "so-called" return of warrior, who knows what is going to happen next,
and what if the warrior turns heel?

Ya know, whatever way it goes, it looks like we'll see some decent wrestling
whenever there's a WWF title match. We can have Hart/Flair, Hart/Perfect, Perfect/
Flair. Sadly, UT is the odd man out, but if he starts working hard again he could
be the "dark horse" :-).

Hey, might actually get some good wrestling here, too. This is provided Bam Bam
and Yoko are allowed increase their workrates a little. I've always kinda been
impressed with Crush's wrestling. Not sure why, but it's definitely not his neon
attire.

I just hope they'll sell some moves and keep up their workrate.

Yoko? Why? Lex supposedly doesn't want to wrestle anymore. If Koko turns
maybe Owen can finally get a decent partner (I'm hoping for Janetty). Don't
care much about Lance.

I'm heartbroken :-). Seriously, Max Moon talks like he's a fugitive from
Starfleet or something. Will Vince bring in a Klingon-like character? Hope not.

Well, last time he left, he came back and had to vomit. Now he'll probably have
to lose a limb or something. :-)

Here's a partial list.

I like Ric Flair, Brian Pillman, Jushin Riger, Hiro Hase, Keiji Muto,
Rick Rude, Big Van Vader, Brazo De Plata (heh heh) because all of them
can work and do work hard in practically all of their matches.

I sort of like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, 2 Cold Scorpio, Ricky Steamboat
because they can work and sometimes do work hard in their matches.

I sort of hate Undertaker, Yokozuna, among others, because they can
probably work but never do.

I hate Ultimate Warrior, Tony Atlas, Giant Baba, Nitron, among others,
because they can't work. B

While some of these likes/dislikes depend on the character that the
wrestler portrays, whether that character is a face of a heel has no
relevance.

Herb...
