RANDOM RAMBLINGS
To the dismay of many... some... a few... someone, I'm sure... I have
returned to expound my personal opinions about the greatest non-sport in
on
earth, that little thing we call rasslin'.
I'd like to be able to do a CRZish "I get letters" thing to open up the
second installment of this column, but I got... one e-mail. Wow, my
cheap-heat tactics appeared to have worked. Har har.
So, since I have nothing but my opinions to spew about, I guess I will now
begin.
There will be no Nitro bashing this time. Mainly because I only saw
part
of the first hour. Sure, based on that first hour, I could rant about how
Hogan is making an already terrible product worse. Or I could talk about
how the lack of historical recognition shown by pairing Sting and Hogan is
sickening. I could also talk about how Hogan is trying to make himself
seem
over by surrounding himself with the two most popular WCW faces, Sting and
Goldberg. I could talk about how Nash is booking the company as though he
really is a WWF mole. Or I could say that no matter how cool Rey Jr's
in-ring skills are, the fact that he wouldn't lay down for Vampiro was
glaringly obvious. Just as it was in Konnan's case in the previous two
weeks. Sure, I could talk about egos destroying the company, but I won't,
since I didn't see the other two hours.
I will, however, say that Vampiro is one cool son of a bitch. Its a
shame
they stuck him with ICP, though.
After watching Off The Record with Vince, and then with Vince and Linda,
I
have to say that no matter how shrewd he is, and no matter what he's done
for wrestling, he's still slimy. I don't mean just a little. I mean to
the
extent that I have to wonder if he'd shrivel up and die if you poured salt
on him.
Linda McMahon seems to be pretty cool, but I got the impression that
some
of the above mentioned slime rubbed off on her.
Did anyone else do the quick math on Vince and Linda's marriage? They
married when she was 16. They started dating when she was 13 and he was
16.
Maybe its just me, but when I was 16, it made me feel guilty to even look
at
a 13 year old.
I am looking forward to the episode of Off the Record with Shane and
Stephanie. That could be as much to do with her looks as anything else,
though. And hey, she's not just good looking, she's rich, too.
I haven't heard anyone mention this yet, but wasn't the "fan" that
attacked Ivory the same plant as last time, just with orangish hair this
time?
Speaking of audience plants, they also have had Vic Grimes hop out of
the
crowd to attack people. And they wonder why real fans hop into the ring?
So, now the Ministry is disbanded. Does that mean that Faarooq and
Bradshaw can stop acting like satanists? Maybe they won't. I heard that
Faarooq likes having those symbols painted on his chest. It tickles.
As I was going to bed last night, I turned on my TV, and Extra! happened
to be on. In case you didn't see it, it featured Rena "I'm a Cheap Whore"
Mero. Anyway, my point is that at one point the reporter said "She might
have settled with the WWF for millions, but what will it cost her?" So,
if
I understand correctly, she led them to believe she got some cash from
Titan. Something tells me she didn't recieve anything more than the
remains
of she and Mark's contracts after they were fed through a paper shredder.
Hey, WWF... can we have at least ONE natural pair o' pups? Silicon is
for
computer parts, silly rabbit.
How did Kane get over so huge all the sudden? At first I chalked it up
to
his alliance with X-Pac. But now I think he's transceded X-Pac. I
thought
his little "speech" the other night was cool, too.
Speaking of Kane's speech, what ever happened to kayfabe? A few years
ago, did you ever hear a wrester referred to by his real name?
That right there shows the difference between WCW and WWF. WWF allows
X-Pac to be called Sean. WCW brought Robert Wuhl on the show and had him
play the character of Arliss.
I could go on and on, but really, I need to save some material for next
time.
This column has been brought to you CHEAP HEAT FREE. I hope my one fan is
happy now.
