Austin comes out for a chat with Marc Lowrance. He says his career is going better than ever, but first of all he’s got someone he wants to introduce; the sexiest girl in all of America, the gorgeous, the lovely, Jeannie. Lowrance questions who is Jeannie? Austin repeats himself, ‘the sexiest girl in America’ and the only woman good enough for the ‘Stunning’ one, Steve Austin. Jeannie walks out and Lowrance again asks who is she and what is her relationship with him, but he tells him it’s none of his business. Jeannie says how wonderful it is to be with a real man like Steve and Austin says that with Jeannie by his side he can’t be defeated and he will be the World Heavyweight champion! Austin gets a chair for Jeannie to sit in and she prepares to watch his upcoming match from ringside. Austin is facing Frogman LeBlanc, but during the match Chris Adams comes down to ringside and heads straight over to Jeannie. The two of them exchange some heated looking words with Lowrance speculating that it looks like they know one another. Jeannie slaps Adams which shocks him and he tells her ‘that’s it’, before returning to the back. Austin defeats LeBlanc with a Samoan drop and after the match Lowrance questions Jeannie on why she slapped Adams? She says she has ‘no comment’ on that at the moment and Austin also has ‘no comment’, but blondes have more fun and they’re on their way to the top. Best Austin interview so far and he’s come on leaps and bounds on that front. Although still green in the ring there is a noticeable improvement on that front as well, and this is the first time we see him leading a match. This feud has just picked up with the arrival of Jeannie and now roll on Toni!

[1990-04-21-USWA-Championship Sports] Interview: Jerry Lawler
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Lawler says that it never ceases to amaze him that these brain damaged imbeciles in the city of Dallas, TX, these morons who come to this dump they call The Sportatorium, sit out there and cheer for Jeff Jarrett! They think he is a popular wrestler, but the truth is Jeff Jarrett is the most hated, unpopular wrestler in all of the profession. If you pick up a wrestling magazine like Inside Wrestling or The Wrestler and you look at the list in the back where it says ‘Most Hated Wrestlers’, Jeff Jarrett’s name should be right at the top of that list! He is so disliked by his fellow wrestlers that he can’t even have a match with him without somebody else, who he’s already ticked off, coming in and wanting to beat him up. He was supposed to wrestle him a few weeks back but somewhere down the line he makes Jeff Gaylord mad at him, he comes out and puts him in the hospital before he’d even had a chance to get his hands on him. This week he was wrestling him, and he’s clearly done something somewhere to the Dirty White Boys as they’re hot at him and they come and beat his brains out before he has a chance to. He tells Jarrett that the reason he’s the most unpopular wrestler around is because he’s a punk, and nobody, not men, not professional wrestlers, like a punk. The only people who likes punks are other punks, like Billy Joe Travis! Two punks in a pie! He wanted to take them on by himself but his good friend Ronnie P. Gossett wants a piece of them too, so this Friday the two of them will take on Jarrett and Travis. Lawler doesn’t even think he will have to get in the ring himself as Ronnie has promised him he’ll finish them both off all by himself! Shame we don’t get the Travis face turn, and similarly a shame there is no footage of the Lawler & Gossett tag match. Surely Lawler can’t really believe one of the most unathletic physical specimens ever to step inside a ring like Gossett is going to beat Jarrett and Travis all by himself?- 13 replies

Lawler is still struggling and he’s helped out to the announcer’s desk by Sweet Daddy Falcone, Rockin’ Randy, Reggie B. Fine and Brickhouse Brown. Reggie says that ‘The King’ shouldn’t even be out there, he hit him with something, he had to! To which Dave retorts ‘a hand’! Lawler tries to cut a promo but he’s doubled over and again has to be helped to the back with Reggie telling him that he needs to save himself for Monday night. With ‘The King’ gone, Reggie says that he doesn’t like what they’re doing in the USWA and he had to go to a lot of trouble to get himself and Brickhouse reinstated. He’s got himself a new team in Sweet Daddy Falcone and Brickhouse Brown and they’re going straight to the top. Pretty funny still seeing Lawler sells the effects of that awful shot from Nitron, while the Reggie and Brickhouse promo that follows is nothing special (and something that I can’t see going anywhere).

[1990-04-21-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler and The Thriller
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Jerry Lawler is scheduled against The Thriller, but he’s still showing the effects of that punch from Nitron. He’s on wobbly legs with Sweet Daddy Falcone and Rockin’ Randy helping him out and to the ring. Lawler can’t do much and is getting dominated by The Thriller. He almost falls out of the ring and at that point Falcone and Randy take him to the back. Lawler gets counted out and under the new rules that’s a ‘technical loss’ and a win to The Thriller. -
Nate is back out and he’s carrying a tray of food and drinks. He tells Jerry Lawler that he wants to talk to him and to come up front and out from behind that desk. Lawler looks at the tray and warns Nate that if he’s got it in his pea brain that he’s going to try to throw some of this stuff at him, or if he gets one speck of something on his shirt he’ll beat him to within an inch of his life. He comes out front and Nate says that a few weeks ago Lawler called him on the phone wanting him to be his assistant, or as he thought, his manager. It didn’t take him long to realise that ‘The King’ only wanted a gopher or a stooge, to which Lawler chimes in ‘you were a good one’, but he was happy with that. He sent him to get a McDonalds and while he was gone Kerry Von Erich came out and poured a bucket of water over his head. He then took that out on him when he got back; he hit him in the face with a pie, he degraded and humiliated him. It irks him because when he walks down the street everyone says ‘Nate, come bring me a Big Mac’ and ‘Nate, how about a pie?’ He knows that he can’t beat him up, but what means more to Jerry Lawler than anything in the world is that belt, and if he could just guide or manage someone to take that belt it would satisfy him. Lawler laughs and says how he got Mike Awesome, who had a lot of potential, but with him managing his career he slid down the ladder of success so quickly he got splinters in his butt! He used to be in the main event wrestling him, and now thanks to Nate he’s in the opening matches jerking the curtain! Nate says that at that moment when Lawler hit him in the face with that pie he learned what hatred was like, because he hates Jerry Lawler and now wants to feel that hatred one more time. Lawler is finding all this extremely funny, but Nate puts on a gown and he wants ‘The King’ to hit him in the face with that Big Mac he bought out. Lawler’s not too keen at first, but Nate keeps asking and goading him saying ‘come on big man!’ He says if it will make him happy though, then rubs the Big Mac in his face. At Nate’s encouragement Lawler then throws fries over him, a coke, he slaps him (because he remembers that he did that), throws the pie in his face (‘The King’ says that was the best thing that happened to Nate as he looked really good for a while…until that pie fell off!) and finally the milk. Lawler’s really enjoying himself by now but Nate is forgetting one more thing that day, he took his fist, beat his brains out and left him lying on the floor, ‘let’s relive that too’! He starts shoving and stalking Nate around the ring, when from behind comes Nitron wearing Ultimate Warrior style face paint. He tosses Lawler into the ring and then nails him with an awkward looking clubbing blow which ‘The King’ takes a nice bump from. Lawler is KO’d cold while Nate berates him with Nitron looking on. We return from a commercial break and Lawler is still out with Sweet Daddy Falcone and Rockin’ Randy tending to him, before literally dragging him to the back. Good angle but this seemed like it went on far too long. Nate was pretty wooden in his delivery so I don’t know if he was the problem and caused it to drag, or whether it would’ve still been the same with someone else in the role of Lawler’s lackey. ‘The King’ seemed to be enjoying himself for real out there when he was throwing the food over Nate. Nitron was a surprise as I never knew he was in the USWA (which would indicate that he is gone fairly quickly), and wondered what happened to him as he just disappeared from the NWA. The face paint doesn’t work and from that one punch alone you can tell Lawler will need to work miracles to get something passable out of him. Kudos to the sell job for that punch and putting him over so strong originally.

[1990-03-31-USWA-Championship Sports] Interview: Eric Embry & Percy Pringle
GSR replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
The crowd loves them some Eric Embry! Marc Lowrance tells us how the fans are known as his ‘family’ and Embry, in a sparkly, gold, sequinned robe with ‘Eric’ on the back, is out with Percy Pringle for an interview with him. Pringle says that last night they had their match with ‘old rag head’ Skandor Akhbar and Gary Young and as soon as that match was over into the dressing room came John Brozell, Max Andrews’ right hand man. At Akhbar’s request, Brozell had a contract in his hand for a singles match against Gary Young next week. Embry didn’t even think about it, he snatched that contract and put his name to it. In his other hand he had a stack of other contracts, Eric took those too and signed five or six blank ones so he doesn’t know what’s going to happen now. Embry says that there is a lot going on, but that Texas title that Kerry Von Erich and Billy Joe Travis are fighting over belongs to his family, and one of them is going to have to defend it against him. He doesn’t know what Akhbar is up to? He may be a little goofy, but he’s not stupid. Friday night he’s going to take out Gary Young and he then tells Akhbar whatever he’s got planned, bring it on! He’ll meet any body, any place, anywhere and at any time, because he and his family don’t like him. After thinking that he wasn’t bad in the previous segment, I’ve gone off the Pringle character already as there is something that I find quite irritating about him. Embry is going to have to carry this feud for me.- 9 replies

[1990-03-31-USWA-Championship Sports] Interview: Mike Awesome
GSR replied to Loss's topic in March 1990
Mike Awesome says that going to the gym seven days a week, training hard and getting huge is what it’s all about, because when he gets Jerry Lawler in the ring he’s going to squeeze his neck and pop him like a pimple! Jerry Lawler likes to run down his opponents and talk bad about them, but it’s not psyching him out. Everyone knows that he’s a disgrace to that belt that he doesn’t deserve it, and in Dallas, TX he will take it from him. Bar the goofy look on his face at the end when he took off his glasses off, I thought this was a fine interview and there was nothing wrong with it. Responds to Lawler’s comments, hits his points and builds the title match. Job done. Yeah, he’s no Jerry Lawler, but who is?- 9 replies

[1990-04-21-USWA-Memphis TV] Jerry Lawler and Eddie Marlin
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Eddie Marlin comes out to a fair few boos which makes ‘The King’ laugh and he’s sure to point them out to make sure that Marlin heard them. Dave says how he and Eddie were talking before the show went on the air and there are some new rules in the USWA. Marlin says that part of his job is to talk with the fans, see what wrestlers they like, who they don’t like and book them against each other as that tends to bring a good crowd in. This past few weeks they’ve been seeing what the fans don’t like and he’s got together with the committee and Max Andrews to draw up some new rules: 1) All the matches will end by pinfall or a technical loss. This means that there will be no more disqualifications, every match will have a winner and a loser and titles can change hands on a technical loss. Lawler queries how can you not be disqualified? What if someone is blatantly punching someone in front of the referee, will they not get disqualified? Marlin explains that they will lose the match on technical loss. He’s also checked the records and found out that Jerry Lawler has saved his title more times by getting disqualified than he has by actually pinning his opponent. This new rule means that if he does something that would previously have warranted a disqualification (be it pulling a chain, hitting the referee etc.), now it would be a technical loss and he would lose the title. 2) The first time a man interferes in a match he’s not assigned to he will be fined $1,000, and the man he’s going into the ring to help will be awarded a technical loss. The second time that same man interferes it would be a $2,000 fine and if he sees fit to interfere a third time he will be suspended for 30 days. Dave thinks that should cut down on the Ronnie Gossetts and the like running into the ring and costing people matches. 3) As there are no draws, from now on if a match goes to the time limit be it 15 minutes, 30 minutes, whatever, when the time is up, the referee will ring the bell. He’ll then get both wrestlers in the ring, start the match over and the first wrestler to takes the other off his feet will be declared the winner. Lawler is not too thrilled with these new rules but Dave Brown is rather excited by them. As Marlin leaves Nate the Rat comes out and starts putting a plastic floor covering down in front of the announcing desk. Dave asks him what he’s doing but he doesn’t reply and ‘The King’ tells ‘brain damage’ that Dave is talking to him. Nate says he’ll find out soon enough and Lawler jokes that Nate has bought his carpet from home out. I don’t think these rules will last too long, for as much as the second one makes sense, I’m not overly keen on the other two. The technical loss seems exactly the same as a disqualification, just that belts can now change hands on a DQ and I absolutely hate rule three where a winner is declared by taking your opponent off your feet. I hadn’t contemplated that these were alternative screw job endings for Lawler as they’d exhausted all their current ones, but it certainly seems like that is the case. I’m all for giving them a go at least if it means we’ve seen the back of the ‘ref bump/foreign object’ finish that was a staple of the first couple of months!- 10 replies

The show opens and the first thing we see are some fans in the audience with a poster saying ‘Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler is #1 World Champion’ and Dave says how he’s bought the fan club with him today! Lawler says that he sees there are some intelligent fans around here which gets a good cheer from them. Dave runs down who will be appearing today and announces that Eddie Marlin will be here later to explain all about the ‘new’ USWA.

Rick Rude is in the gym again and doing some work on the speed bag which has the Ultimate Warrior’s face painted on it. He says how he’s beaten the Warrior before and will beat him again. All his skills will be sharpened, he’ll be as quick as a cat, as strong as an ox and when skill collides with opportunity it is going to be the end of the Ultimate Warrior. Impressive job again by Rude cutting that promo while concentrating and punching the speed bag at the same time.

[1990-04-18-USWA-Evansville TV] Chris Champion & Mike Awesome local promo
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Champion says how they took on Jerry Lawler and that fat pig Ronnie Gossett and like always they cheated! They’ve a rematch and he wants to know if Mike Awesome is up for it, because if not, he’ll get someone else. Awesome says that last time they weaselled their way out, but this time they’re going to beat them bad and leave them laying in the ring. Champion says no more wrestling, it’s now a fight, the rules have gone and Lawler and Gossett will wrestle no more when they are though with them. Chris Champion’s hair looks more ridiculous than ever, while Mike Awesome has ramped up the goofy levels to ten. It sounds as though he’s doing a Hulk Hogan impersonation with his promo too. I thought Awesome was perfectly fine last time out, but he’s something rotten here with Champion not much better.- 10 replies

[1990-04-15-WWF-Wrestling Challenge] Jack Tunney statement
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Tunney says that on April 1 WWF history was made with one man holding both the WWF Intercontinental and WWF World titles. Since no-one man can properly fulfil the requirements needed to defend both titles at the same time, the Ultimate Warrior has surrendered the Intercontinental title to him. He has declared it vacant and ordered a tournament to be held to determine who will be the new champion with the participants to be announced next week. This looks as though Tunney was reading this off a board somewhere! -
[1990-04-14-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] "THINK IT OVER, CREEP!"
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Jim Ross says that they’ve received a special videotape from Sting before they went on air today and no-one has seen it yet. Jim Cornette thinks it’s going to contain a message from Sting saying that he’s going to quit wrestling as he doesn’t want the Horseman to cripple him any further. He doesn’t want his career ended, his neck broken and he’s going to stay away from wrestling for the rest of his life. Ross gets them to roll the tape and Sting says how the time has come to introduce Robocop who will be at his side for Capital Combat. Ross takes delight in Cornette being wrong, but he isn’t happy about Sting bringing a creature like that anywhere near professional wrestling. ‘It’s malarkey!’ He says that the Horsemen are not going to be intimidated or scared of some big pile of scrap metal standing ten feet tall and they will still triumph because they are the elite in professional wrestling. We’re they really trying to get PPV sales of Robocop??? -
[1990-04-14-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Ric Flair and Lex Luger
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
The special guests on the Louisville Slugger today are the number one couple on America. Cornette doesn’t mean Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, Elizabeth Taylor and Richards Burton or even Prince Charles and Lady Diana, he’s talking about Ric Flair and Woman! Cornette starts with his usual gushing over Woman, referring to her as ‘a paragon of sartorial pulchritude’, but is glad that Ric Flair took time out of his busy schedule to show all these rednecks what ‘class’ looks like. Cornette says how Lex Luger has had the audacity to come out here the past few weeks claiming he’s going to be the next World Heavyweight champion, but he knows Ric Flair and knows that he’s not going to relinquish that strap. Flair says how Luger has promised everyone that if he gets him in the ring with the title on the line, no interference, maybe in a cage, he’ll be the next World Champion. He forgets though, that to be the man, you’ve got to beat the man! Cornette says that Luger doesn’t know a wristlock from a wristwatch and that’s why he blames all these outside activities like Woman and Ole Anderson, it’s because he’s got to make excuses. At this point Lex comes down the aisle and into the ring to confront them. He first checks Cornette has insurance and then warns him if he opens his trap again he’ll need to cash it in (or at least that’s what I think he was meant to say as he botches the punch line). He tells Flair that the only reason he’s not breaking him in half right now is because the World title is not on the line and he’s not letting him off so easily. Flair tells him if he gets in his face today he’s going to kick his ass and to think about it as they’re out of here. When he turns his back on him, Luger grabs him by the shoulder saying he’s not finished with him and Flair responds with a slap. Lex comes for Flair but he pulls Woman between them and she then slaps Luger. Ole Anderson comes out to help Flair but Lex is handling them both when Arn Anderson runs out, grabs Woman’s shoe and nails Luger in the back of the head with it. The Horsemen go to work on Luger and a couple of jobbers come out to help but get nowhere. Eventually Mike Rotundo and Eddie Gilbert rush to help and the Horsemen get out of there. On the whole I liked this, especially with the return of Arn. Woman was pretty stilted with her slap and it could have easily been any female in that role considering how little she actually did (she didn’t say one word and was just stood next to Ric). Could they not find anyone better to make the save than Gilbert and Rotundo though? Where were the Steiners at this point? Don’t know why the Horsemen fled when those two came out as I would’ve easily fancied their chances against them! -
It’s Tori/Terri Power! She’s got some serious arms on her here and is carrying a hat full of names as they’re doing some sort of random draw gimmick. Billy Jack Haynes is back out and tells the announcer don’t be afraid, you’re a grown man! He takes the hat off Terri so he can pick who he’s going to be fighting, but she distracts the announcer and Haynes rifles through the names. He finds the one that he wants and ‘lo and behold’ he’s got Larry Oliver. He tells Oliver that he’s an amateur in professional wrestling and he’s going to show him where he belongs, on his butt looking up at the lights! Tori is going by the name of Taylor Made Medina I think, but she definitely needs to sack her stylist! All jacked up with these muscly arms and legs whilst wearing this short, tight black dress, nylon stockings and heels. Not a good look! I enjoyed Haynes again here and I hope we see some more of him and Portland later in the Yearbook.
-
The heels with the heat on Larry Oliver who finally makes the tag to Rip (who for some reason is the only one in the match wearing street clothes. Were these his regular garb?). Rip cleans house and tags in Haynes who puts the full nelson on Brian Adams. The Grappler clocks Haynes in the back with a garbage can, but Larry nails him with a clothesline before he can do it again and picks up the can himself. Haynes turns around to see Larry holding the can and thinks that he’s the one who just hit him. He levels Larry and starts wearing out a Kendo stick on him. Rip lies on top of his son while Billy Jack just unloads with Kendo stick shots as the heels encourage him to do so. Beetlejuice, Big Juice, Ricky Santana and Curtis Thompson come out to stop the attack and see to the Olivers and Rip gets carried out of there on a stretcher. The announcer tries to tell Haynes that is wasn’t Larry who attacked him from behind but he wants none of it and tells him to shut up. He says that he’s got Oliver blood in him, he hit him from behind, and when the announcer again tries to correct him he gets shouted down. Billy Jack says that for eight years he wore Oregon on his tights, but when he was down two years ago where were the people then? Nobody gave a dam about him. He tears the Oregon symbol off his trunks and says how for eight years he had a gym, but these fat pigs never came down and supported it because they were out of shape. When he was down and needed some money no-one was there! He tells Rip that his son wanted to play with the big boys, well he’s the big boy and now he knows what it’s like to go out on a stretcher. He’s going to take the Oliver’s out, he should have done it a long time ago and tells the state of Oregon to kiss his ass! Great interview from Haynes who is one intense, scary man that you don’t want to be getting on the wrong side of!

[1990-04-14-PNW-TV] Scotty the Body Arm Wrestling Challenge
GSR replied to Loss's topic in April 1990
Some Portland on the Yearbook! It’s the Fiesta Garden with Al Madril, and he’s got Scotty the Body and The Equalizer with him. Madril says that Scotty is a former arm wrestling champion and he’s putting up $100 to anyone who can beat him in an arm wrestling contest. A chap out of the audience gets into the ring and Madril is already dismissive of him. They get him to take off his jacket so they can see him ‘biceppials’ and the three of them laugh at his physique with Scotty on the floor in hysterics. Madril asks the guy what he would do should he win the $100 and he says he’ll take his children to Disneyland. He scoffs at that and says he isn’t going anywhere! They set the table up ready and Scotty tells his opponent that they are playing by the Marquis of Queensbury arm wrestling rules, so don’t deviate! Scotty appears to start before Madril has said go and doesn’t even get his arm all the way down, but Madril declares him the winner anyway. He says that was the easiest match he’s ever had and Al wonders if there is anybody else around here to challenge him. The crowd start making a bit of a commotion and RODDY PIPER enters the ring!!! Scotty says didn’t he see Piper in that movie ‘Ernest Goes to Jail’, which he and Madril both find hilarious. Madril asks whether the big movie star is hurting for $100, but Piper replies ‘no’,he just loves Disneyland!’ They have the match with Scotty pulling all kinds of facial expressions and after a bit of a struggle, Piper wins. He gives the $100 to the guy who wrestled Scotty originally and then takes more of his money which he hands out to the ringside crowd. This was surreal seeing Piper here just a fortnight after Wrestlemania. I’ve always read and heard about how he was loyal to Don Owen, but to actually see it. Madril was very good hosting the segment and was a better talker than Scotty here (who wasn’t bad himself). -
Atlas is looking very smart today all suited and booted! He says that there is only one person in the ICW that wears the tailor made suits, that is 6’3”, 280lbs and with 23” arms. There is only one person that wears the gold and that’s how it’s going to stay. Roadblock, Steamboat and the rest of you pencil necked geeks forget about the gold, because he’s the man!

Dusty is schedules to wrestle Bobby Salsa when he gets jumped from behind by Randy Savage who KO’s him with Sherri’s purse. Savage take out the referee and Salsa, and with Sapphire tending to Dusty, Sherri comes out and nails her with a shoe. Sherri lays into Sapphire whil Savage drops a couple of elbows on Dusty before tossing him out of the ring. Sherri chokes Sapphire with her gloves and they then try to get her to kiss Savage’s feet. Dusty is back just in time, manhandling Sherri as Savage gets out of there and the two of them sprint to the back. Dusty cradles Sapphire and looks distraught as he tells the referees who’d come out to help to get away from them. Good angle but Sapphire isn’t the best, especially when it comes to selling. Sherri also had to roll her over to Savage when they were trying to get her to kiss his feet as she was too heavy to drag, which didn’t look the best. Dusty seemed pretty physical with Sherri here, who herself wasn’t wearing the most ideal of outfits to be getting thrown around the ring in!

Rude is in the gym doing overhead presses and he asks ‘The Brain’ how much the Ultimate Warrior weighs? When he says 275, he asks for 315 to go on the barbell. Rude says that the Warrior’s days are numbered, just as surely as he’s risen, he will fall. He’s beaten him before, will beat him again and will take his WWF World Heavyweight championship. The pressing of the weights (if not gimmick) was impressive as hell.

Brother Love’s music plays to introduce the show and Vince McMahon says that if there is one person he hopes doesn’t make Wrestlemania VII it’s this man! Love says how his guests this week recently thrilled 67,678 people at Wrestlemania with their new hit single which is climbing the charts and destined to be number one. They will soon be on American Bandstand, MTV and Soul Train, but they’re here right now, Rhythm & Blues! Love says to Honky how it must have been a thrill to perform in front of 67,000 people who were on their feet for them and loving every minute of ‘Hunka, Hunka, Hunka, Honky Love’? Honky says it was more than a thrill and made the hairs on the back of his neck curl! It made him feel so good when the crowd stood up and said ‘play it one more time!' Honky always wants to please his fans and agreed to do it but the Bushwhackers came out and ruined everything. Valentine says how Jimmy Hart worked so hard painting their guitars and the Bushwhackers destroyed them. He apologises to Hart and says it will never happen again. They are going to destroy the Bushwhackers just like they destroyed their guitars. I dread to think what the matches between these two were like! I’m almost certainly in the minority, but I don’t think Valentine looks that bad dressed up all like Roy Orbison. I never knew he transitioned to Rhythm & Blues so soon after the Garvin feud though.

Ole and Sting talk via satellite in a split screen deal with Sting in Atlanta and Ole in Houston. Ole says that it’s a long time since they’ve spoken and he’s heard that Sting has an announcement which he assumes pertains to his retirement from wrestling? Sting says the chances of him retiring are slim and none, and Ole questions whether the equipment is working right and he heard Sting correctly! He thought Sting would have got the message in Corpus Christi that you don’t fool with the Horsemena, but he shows up in Greensboro trying to help Lex Luger and that didn’t go down too well with them either. Ole says that when he tells you to stay away, he’s not joking. Capital Combat is coming up on the 19th and he wants Sting to get the message loud and clear as he didn’t understand the first two, stay away from Capital Combat. Sting mockingly says how Ole sounds serious, how he did get hurt a little, maybe he should keep his distance from them and think twice about coming to Capital Combat? Before saying ‘not a chance idiot!’ He’s got his name and reputation to think of and while they hurt him bad, he’s coming along fine now. He will be at Capital Combat and he’ll have a surprise for the Horsemen and the rest of the world with him. I found Sting really annoying in this segment; in the studio with his shades on, chewing gum and acting all cocky. I’m rooting for Ole and the Horsemen to do another number on him and put him out a bit longer! On his return to World Championship Wrestling just a few weeks ago I thought he was going to be a huge babyface, not as convinced now and it’ll be interesting to see how things pan out. Ole was superb as he has been in every interview so far in the Yearbook.

Lawler wants to talk about a couple of jerks, namely Mike Awesome and Chris Champion. People ask him why does Mike Awesome have that stupid grin on his face all the time? It’s because he is stupid! Then there’s this low life, filthy, stinking slime ball Chris Champion, with hair so long that Moses couldn’t part it! They think they have stuck him with a weak link in Ronnie P. Gossett and they think they’ve finally found a way to get a win over ‘The King’. He says that he’s already proved that he can beat them both in one night, so he’s just going to let Ronnie P. Gossett stand on the outside and he’ll beat them both singlehandedly.
