Dudes, didn't anything else happen at Bash at the Beach?
Oh, yeah. Never mind.
Larry effectively writes Vince Russo out of the storyline.
Back to Nitro, and Booker T's fun-filled first night as champion.
Can I take a moment to wonder why Stevie Ray can't say "Fruit Booty", but
Jeff Jarrett can say "Slap Nuts"?
It ain't right.
To Thunder 7/12,
and the stuff surrounding the Kanyon/Jeff Jarrett main event.
Vampiro's controlling the Demon's mind
Why? I mean, if I could control souls and all, I wouldn't go for a rookie.
I'd control Meng.
Maybe his skills in the mind control area aren't strong, so he can only
control bad wrestlers.
I mean, who did he go after last time? Riggs, Evan Karagias and... someone
else not so impressive, if I remember right.
And ICP. I think that speaks for itself.
To Thunder, and Major Stash's (farewell) match vs Demon.
Tony: "That's Sting!"
Bobby: "How do you know?"
Tony: "Because...we saw him Monday night!"
Thanks for including that.
It's time for Ask WCW.com
I wish y'all luck finding the Worldwide link on the WCW.com
page.
They've hidden it well, now.
Larry does his Carnac impression, giving us the answer before Scott even
reads the question.
"Watching Bruce Lee movies."
Larry's still a cheater, I think.
This week's question if from Mark Halling, from Oakland
Wait a second, that sounds familiar. Like a reader I got mail from?
Anyway, it's for the Cat
I was wondering what exactly is The Cat's Karate
background? Is he really a three-time world Karate champion?
The Cat says yep, he really is a three-time champion, winning it for the
first time 1997. He's got three different kinds of black belts, earning his
first one in 1978.
I won't even try (mis)spelling the names of the disciplines
Larry and Scott talk about the Cat moving away from the dark side, and
being an okay commish.
