But you'll still have to break your own necks.

Trivia Question: Whose ring is bigger, WCW or the WWF? (answer at the end of the report)
The mailbag:

  Hi, I was playing a snowboarding game for the PlayStation 2 called SSX. I get to the track called Merqury City Meltdown and I noticed a familiar voice. So I ran through the intro to the track again and sure enough......it's none other than "Mean" Gene Okerlund. I ran through it one more time and he actually says his name in it. Just a cool tidbit I thought I'd pass along.

  I was really, really, really bored Saturday AM and turned on some Monster Trucks. Well, not only does Goldberg have his own truck, but so does Madusa (they described M as a "former nurse who was looking for excitement").
  Madusa apparently doesn't know quite how to take the corners, as she rolled her truck while going around one. To her credit, she was doing good up to that point. Goldberg whupped up on Gravedigger for the win.

  Hello, Bill. I haven't written to you in ages, and I have not watched rasslin' in a couple of years now. However, I saw something a couple of weeks ago that I felt was worth noting.
  I traveled to Ft. Belvoir Army base in Virginia for a couple of days of meetings. These meetings took place in a building located across a parking lot from a building named "Scott Hall." Proof that the army is made up of a bunch of nWo-ites.
  I had to laugh when I read this. I went to RPI, and they had, and still have, a dormitory called "Hall Hall". The name was funny enough back then, but even funnier in this context.
I got a lot of e-mail related to my comment that Dusty Rhodes used to play professional baseball. I did not put that in on the assumption that the major league baseball player named Dusty Rhodes from the 1950s and 1960s is the wrestler Dusty Rhodes. When "our" Dusty Rhodes played pro ball, he went by his real name of Virgil Runnels, and I don't think he ever made it to the majors.
As Aldo said when he sent this to me..."Feel the ego!". Click here
Mark B. from Santa Clarita, CA sends in a very interesting link about Val Venis' political views. A must-read if you are interested in libertarianism at all. Click here
So, where I work, a co-worker and I were (believe it or not) using AOL's Instant Messanger for a business-related purpose...to communicate with each while on the phone with someone else. I tried to send him a link to something and I accidentally sent him a link to my buddy icon.

So he, and a female coworker, who don't realize this is a picture of a professional wrestler are thinking "What the hell is Bill into?" I had to show them both the little Arn Anderson doll on my desk and attempt to explain that I'm not "into hairy men".
