THE BUFF REPORT
Supplemental

Hello.

I am Buff.

Your favorite sex symbol.

Admit it.

And I still score.

This is my second supplemental column; hold your applause...

You can't resist - I'm dead sexy....



The Future of WWF or How Buff Saved the Fed and Learned to Love the Writers


I've done it. I've thought of a simple, yet brilliant plan for solving the WWF's writing situation. The solution was so obvious I can't believe I haven't seen it before...

Ok. I'll get to the point.

Hire Mick Foley.

I know he already works for the fed, but if Vince has any foresight, he'll realize the potential Foley has for being the greatest head-writer in the history of the WWF.

Think about it Foley is:
1. A best-selling author.
2. The best mic-worker in the biz, bar-none.
3. Someone who knows the business, in and out - both on and off the tube.
4. As evidenced in the ring - Owner of one of the best work-ethics in wrestling today. Acting or kicking ass, Foley never rests on his laurels.


But he has to get out of the ring.

I'm not saying he's getting rusty in his old-age or even that he couldn't continue at his current level for many years, far from it, but for for chrissakes, the guy has kids. I'm sure he doesn't want to spend the bulk of his children's formative years confined to a wheelchair, or worse.

He needs to get out of the ring to save his neck, his skin, his carcass, whatever you want to call that battered shell he calls a body.

Oh, he still needs to be on TV - that goes without saying. Foley is always one of the highlights of any show where he's handed a microphone. He is always funny, and in the year I've been watching religiously, I've never seen him take a proverbial crap when he's speaking.

He would make a much better commissioner than SCSA. Sorry, Steve...

Not only that, but the product would also become a bit more PG (it's not a bad word, I swear), yet at the same time entertaining. After all, Foley's a daddy, and he rarely makes an "R-rated" comment. Hell, he carries a sock-puppet; you can't get more tame than that! It sure would help Vinnie lure advertisers back to the fold. Of course they could always "sexy it up" too, to keep the show edgy, if they so desire...

Downsides to Foley writing the product?

Well unless you don't like to laugh, or be entertained, there really are none. The other writers would obviously be there to cut anything that Vinnie Macaroni thinks is too goofy, though with recent events I don't put anything beyond the realm of possibility in the fed...

This solves SO many possible problems. Vinnie Macaroni could relax on writing and run his business, Foley could continue to pay his mortgage and at the same time help develop the atrocious mic-skills many workers seem to have, and we the fans - the most important piece - would be entertained.

Foley truly is God.


Ok superfans, here's your chance to be the Superfan of the Week! If you can tell me in which column on this website yours truly was mentioned, you will be next week's Superfan of the Week! (Nothing wrong with a little cross-promotion, eh?)

I plan on having a different question each week, so keep your eyes peeled. Hey, send me a picture with your answers and I'll put a link to your pasty mug right up on this certain column, on that certain website that starts with a "Sla", ends with a "ling" and has a "Shwrest" in the middle. Oh, and you have to send me the picture in the form of a link, 'cause neither I nor C to the R to the Z are going to host pictures. Ok? Righto.

Before your sex symbol gets too wordy, this column will end.

If you're good, maybe you get to see why I am your favorite sex symbol.

Soon, my little Buff-o-Maniacs, soon. AND I'll deliver the goods, unlike some columnists around here...I'm just saying, is all.

Is next : WWF - Land of the Giants

Thank you for coming, or however you reacted.
