MARVELLOUS MUSINGS
Stuff. Well, I don't think I have any particular point. It is called MUSINGS, its not like I called it Marvellous Specific Discussion Points or anything.

"Until you've tasted the coppery zest of the blood of the sense of the innocent...you only know half the story!" - Marvellous Martin

Hello darlings. I'm here again? Its not enough I updated on Sunday and had a mail printed in some chick's column? Well I couldn't go without making one more update before Christmas. Thanks to all the people who took the time out to mail me concerning my last column. When I get around to it (Christmas, work and Quake 3 permitting) I will be doing a proper follow up in a future column. I bet you can't wait. HA!

Thanks also to my lovely readers who mailed me about my Matt Borne trivia question. That poor bastard Matt Borne appeared in both WCW and the WWF and on both occasions and he had dreadful, and I mean DREADFUL gimmicks in both organisations. In WCW he was BIG JOSH, the wrestling lumberjack whose finisher consisted of stamping on his opponent's stomach, I think it was called the 'Log Roller' or something. Then he left to join the WWF and he became the wrestling travesty known as DOINK THE CLOWN. He's had a rough time hasn't he? Anyway, big shout outs to all those who succeeded in naming one or both of them: Vidyan Ravinthiran, Eric "The Cleric" Taylor, Peacock, Edward Knox II, Bethebunny (nice story), and Sam Zimmerman. If I missed you out, mail me and berate me and I'll be real sorry.

You may have noticed my little Muta gif. Good innit? Any way, does anybody know where I can get more? I would like to have a few to cycle through, it would be kinda cool. Mail me if you can help.

I HAVE PROOF OF THE HARDER AND MORE ADULT STYLE VINCE RUSSO HAS BROUGHT TO WCW. Don't believe me? Well just read this message from WCW.com:

WCW Statement

Monday evening some strong language aired live on WCW Monday Nitro. The reason for this occurrence was a network delay booth operator did not report to work on Monday evening. This absence was not immediately realized due to the fact that the Broadcast Operation Center and the delay booth are located in different areas of the building. Once the personnel shortage was realized, the BOC took action to staff the delay booth.

The network has taken corrective measures to prevent this type of incident from happening again in the future.

There was no intent by WCW or the network to allow offensive language to air on the program.

Good to see that Vince is pushing his style ever onwards isn't it? HA!



What is Russo thinking? Has he burnt out already? Bishoff flogged the dead horse of the NEW WORLD ORDER for so long I don't think there is actually much of a horse left. Plus, how lame did Bret Hart look standing with those other guys? Why the hell didn't they end Starrcade with that instead of the clusterfuck the served up instead?

Russo has the gall to blame Standards and Practices for the low ratings? Could it not be that he is putting on a crappy show? Could it not be that by bringing in T&A and shortening matches he is alienating the viewership WCW had to start with? I'm really starting to believe in these conspiracy theories that McMahon said Russo and Ferarra could go and that they are going to destroy WCW and then go back. He need not have bothered sending them if it is the case, the WWF is destroying WCW on its own.

That repeating of the Rhonda Singh video segment from last week's Nitro was terrible. What kind of a film editing team have they got working there who can't spot when the same thing is being shown twice?

Miss Kitty must now be one of the most 'over' women in wrestling EVER now... She had better be careful, with all the extra attention she'll be getting, it could lead to her OVER EXPOSURE. BOOM BOOM!!! (did you like the way I put the punch line in capitals like MAD Magazine does?)

I got an email from one of /wrestling's top columnists, Peacock. After he told me how brilliant I was and how much he wished he could be more like me, he asked me to help in his campaign. The campaign is to have Kurt Angle's finisher called the RIGHT ANGLE. 90 degrees of pain apparently. I think this is a brilliant idea, because JR's choice of calling it the "Fireman's Carry Type Manoeuvre" isn't quite so catchy. Take signs to events, mail whoever you can, this MUST happen. It would make his day I'm sure, bless his little cotton socks.

What's next for the battles between the Hardy and Edge & Christian? How about evil clones? Edge & Christian could be wandering about doing nasty things - telling everybody how the Road Dogg used to have a country and western gimmick, challenging Steve Austin to races and then laughing at him, that sort of thing. Then when they are confronted a week or so later, they look confused and say they weren't there last week and didn't know what was going on. Nobody believes them and beats them up until Edge and Christian are doing an interview and telling nasty jokes about JR's face when SHOCK!! HORROR!! ANOTHER EDGE AND ANOTHER CHRISTIAN APPEAR!! THERE'S FOUR OF THEM!! THERE'S FOUR OF THEM!! THERE'S FOUR OF THEM!! Then they have lots of stellar matches and everyone is happy. The down side to all of this is that Edge and Christian would have to have identical twin brothers, or they would actually have to be cloned. Well they grew a human ear on a mouse's back, why not grow an Edge on the back of a cow or something? Christ what an I on?

I have to admit, I'm really starting to enjoy watching Evil Stephanie. At first I wasn't too sure because she was sooooo irritating when she was Good Stephanie. But as long as she doesn't speak and just stands/sits looking dastardly, evil, and hot, I dig it. What is it about BAD girls that makes them so...so...so... GOOD? What's more, I think she is pretty justified turning on her father. JR is there blurting "HOW COULD SHE DO THAT?" but its true that Vince had his own daughter kidnapped and married to the Undertaker. What was he expecting, a thank you?

That repeating of the Rhonda Singh video segment from last week's Nitro was terrible. What kind of a film editing team have they got working there who can't spot when the same thing is being shown twice?

Well, that's it for this column. This is the tenth Marvellous Musings and I'm quite proud that I've lasted this long so GOOD FOR ME. I'd like to thank THE MAN CRZ (for that is his official title now) for allowing me to force my opinions on you chaps.

Mail me if you have the time, I LOVE EMAILS. I've decided I like mails better when you compliment me. Like that I'm a genius, that I'm the best columnist from Britain, and how this site would have closed down ages ago if it wasn't for me bringing in the hits :)

Have a lovely, lovely, lovely Christmas. Take care all of you. Remember to check back here for not just my breast-free, irony laden column, but for all the columns written by all these wonderful people, some of whom do have breasts. Just remember, I know I'm quirky but its meant to be endearing.
