MARVELLOUS MUSINGS

By Jimmeny its me again, complete with appalling column name and THREE READERS, THREE READERS, THREE READERS (nine?).

If you read my last column (HA!) you will see that Russo deliberately went totally against everything I said just to SPITE ME (paranoid? moi?). So forget everything I wrote last time, forget, forget, fooorget

Admittedly, I have yet to see Nitro because I live in Britain and have to wait until Friday, but I have read numerous opinions, some good, loads bad. It appeared that it pretty much sucked ass, WCW is becoming "sports entertainment" and Russo and Ferrera are killing wrestling. It seemed Russo managed to say "fuck you" to most of Mexico in three hours. That's quite impressive in a twisted and depressing way. I've been hearing some stuff about Russo being rascist, I really hope this doesn't become really obvious in his booking or some shit is going to fly I can tell you.

When Juvi and Karagias came out to wrestle, they had NO IDEA that Bret Hart was going to interrupt their match. They thought he was coming out afterwards, and they prepared themselves to get attacked when he turned up. Good to see that Russo and co make sure all the talent are on the same page huh?

Why couldn't WCW have been proud of the fact they were putting on a different show to the WWF instead of trying to copy them PURELY to get the ratings up. If you want to accuse something in wrestling of being a 'sell out', you could have a pretty good argument here.

For the record, I LIKE CRUSH 'EM!!! It rocks like a quarry (TM Marvellous Martin), and so does the rest of the album ('tis called RISK) - BUY IT!!!

I was watching a Best of Raw video from a few years back and I saw something that reminded me of how shit the Road Dawg is. Its Jesse James, dressed in crappy cowboy duds, coming to the ring singing country music. It's so funny watching him being so 'with it' and so 'down' now, when he used to look like Chad Brock only thirty pounds heavier. Funny shit if you ask me, then again, I thought seeing an old lady hit on the head by a lowering car park barrier was funny so........

I hope I don't get in trouble, but some of Mark Madden's WCW.com reports verge on the farcical. A recent Madden report was on Sting being a heel. He talks about Sting's inner turmoil - that I can handle. But old Markie doesn't leave it at that, he then details how a ten year old Sting fan came up to Sting outside the arena and said "say it ain't so" and cried. At this point, I could still have let him off. But then he says that since Sting went bad, lil' Jimmy was "caught skipping school, smoking cigarettes, drinking beer and listening to Insane Clown Posse." For heaven's sake the kid's TEN. What's next? Here are a couple of suggestions. " STING MAKES TWELVE YEAR OLD GIRL TURN TO PROSTITUTION". " STING CHEATING AGAINST BRET HART MAKES A GENERATION OF TEENS FORGET HOW TO READ." How about after Halloween Havoc - "STING RETAINS BELT AND CAUSES COLLAPSE OF BRAZILIAN ECONOMY"?

Wow, Ric Flair has really gone all out with his interviews as of late. The guy is a genius and bloody hilarious. Laugh? I BLED ALL NIGHT LONG BABY WHOO!!!!!

That's all from me for now, may I request that you email me, like THE MAN CRZ says. Go on, I'm sure I've pissed off at least one Road Dogg fan. Somebody must disagree with me, TELL ME!!!

I'll leave you with this question - Who is the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?
