THE MAT POTATO II
French Fries

Travels with my computer, or a quick surf around the net.

For those of you who access CRZ at his home page, and don't go over to wrestleline, I strongly urge you to head over there for one of the singularly most hilarious columns I have read in quite some time. I'll admit, when I first started reading the "WCW to debut Wrestling Jesus Character" story I marked out big time, then about a third of the way through I recognized beautiful satire.

I don't know who wrote it, (Madden? Our own CRZ?) But to whomever wrote that brilliant piece, a doff of the chapeau. You really made the Potato's day with that one.

Ponderables.

How many world titles do you think that Kevin Nash would have won if he hadn't been handling the book when he did?

If a title is guaranteed in your contract, does it mean as much when you actually "win" it?

Regarding said guarantee, do(es) the Cruiserweight, Lightweight, European and/or Hardcore title(s) count?

Wouldn't you love to see what's under Juvi's mask?

Then again, after seeing under Rey-Rey's mask, would it be worth it?

Is Eric Bischoff marking the days on his calendar until the Russo/Ferrara era proves to be the giant, overblown Hindenburg it appears to be?

Does Bischoff have a Russo voodoo doll?

Does JR have an "Oklahoma" voodoo doll?

Would either of them be interested in buying one?

If enough people ask CRZ when a certain wrestler is going to return, or make a jump, do you think it will mysteriously give him the power to make it happen?

And if CRZ had said power, would he use it for good? Or would his natural (WCW/WWF) bias take over?

If you ran your own fed, would you hire Hogan?

Doing what?

Are we having fun yet?
