Ring Report II Vol. I Ed. I
Well this is a new thing for me…..Journalism, with a twist. Maddog has given me concent to create this totally editorial spin-off of the origional Ring Report. In the weeks to come, I’ll comment on the happenings in the world of wrestling. Particularly the WWF. I do not watch the WCW much and I’d appreciate anyone who does watch it that would like to write about it. I look at wrestling from an outsiders point of view. I make predictions, based of tips of cource, and give trivia questions. This will hopefully be bi-weekly, so enjoy.
Vince McManican-This guy is ruining the WWF. I was recently at a card, pre-WMX, at MSG….I couldn’t believe it. There was no one there. Why, you ask? The matches were BOREING! The feuds were uninteresting. I mean, how many times can you see a USA vs. Russia, Finland, Iraq, or anything else match? They are over run, over used and over played. Vic, my boy, you need some new blood in the WWF in a bad way, Jim Ross wasn’t it. We need to hear some life in the booth, some life in the ring and some life in the feuds. What ever happened to just plain old bad guys. Breaking up their enemy’s big matches. Stopping interiews. Look back to WM 1-5. That was great. As little as most of us want to admit it, we need HH and Ultimate Warrior back. Thats the facts and they are undesputed.
——————————-THIS WEEK IN TRIVIA—————————
1) Name the person who stole the WWF World title from HH and broke it with an
ice pick.
2) Who were the Bolshevicks?
3) What tag team did the British Bulldogs beat for the WWF Tag Straps?
4) Who did HH beat for his first WWF strap?
5) Who did Macho Man Randy Savage beat for the WWF King Title?
6) Who did Bret Hart beat in the finals of the KOTR tourny last year?
7) What was the main event of the first Summerslam?
8) Who was involved in the Christmass PPV No Holds Barred Tag Match?
9) Who are the two wrestlers to hold the Million Dollar Belt other than Debiase?
10) How is Jack Tunny related to Vince McMahon? (no one but me knows this)
10-Tunny is his uncle…..NO JOKE!
Feuds to look for:
Quake vs. Yoko-Yoko or Quake will change faces to form a tag team….Look for Yoko to go good.
Jaques vs. Pierre-Pierre will go good….should be an ok feud.
Stieners vs. Gunns-Just a hunch.
Shrinkers vs. Bodies-They are hanging around without a feud.
Michaels vs. Diesel-After Michaels ruins Diesels chance at Hart, he’ll go face.
Doink vs. Jarrett-Good tech wrestling.
Piper vs. Lawler-Does anyone really care? Two washups. They once were good, but you can bet they aren’t still.
Is it just me or is anyone esle sick of IRS’s tax crap?
Newcomers:
Dumpster: I think that this guy could have some fan appeal, but he is in the wrong type of role. Why not just Doug Druse. The Dumpster is too much like a Repo Man trick. Make him a real bad guy, doesn’t like anyone.
Rumors are still flying about the WCW releasing many superstars to afford HH. The latest is that Pillman, Rude, and Missy (yes!) will come to the WWF. I’d, for one, love to see a Michaels/Pillman feud. Rude was always great, and Missy…..I’ll let you figure that one out. She is not with WCW now, but she is looking for work.
Sum it up Scott:
