News and Rumors By Pollrlex

He's Big, He's Bad , He's Big Bad Brad!
It is rumored that None other than Brad Armstrong will join Master P and his
No Limit Soldiers. Brad expects this to be his big push and expects great
things to happen to his career once this move is made. Personally Just cause
the Road Dogg got a break.. doesn't mean good old Brad has a chance..
Armstrong's to me are not very appealing wrestlers.

Ric Flair Passing Torch???
The younger stars in WCW are very pleased with Ric Flair's attitude towards
the old vs. young angle. Ric didn't complain a single bit about doing the job
and putting Buff over with the fans. But there is still talk that the old Vs.
young Angle will not push many stars. I say the Angle is working great.. But
if WCW thinks they need to get Benoit and Saturn over with the fans.. then it
is no surprise they are behind in the ratings war!!!

Chris Jericho News
Chris Jericho recently did an interview on The Wednesday Night's Main Event,
1360AM, Cincinnati, OH. Jericho Mentioned how he idolized Owen Hart, his
favorite WWF starts are the Rock and X-Pac, Jericho commented that the "quick
fit" philosophy of WCW management won't save the company, He likes the new
gimmick with Curt Hennig. Jericho Spends a lot of time on the internet, He
shot down the rumor about his WWF name Excalibur.Jericho Bashed the WCW and
left the Impression he was through with WCW. However at the Great American
Bash, Jericho's TV clip of the Internet Location where Tony Jabroni
said..."Look there's Chris Jericho!! " That scene is reported to be Planted
in efforts to show that He still resides and is staying. But then again..
It's his choice.. why is everyone else trying to make it for him? Being the
Christian he is.. I say.. Let the Lord lead the way!


Notes on Scott Norton.
Scott Norton Did not work the Great American Bash because of High Blood
Pressure. I guess maybe Ernest Miller really got to him!!! Another quick
tidbit is that Norton Needed Stitches after Nitro when The Cat Took a tire
iron to his head! The Cat really connected with Norton's head and made his Impression!

What Happened to Alex Wright?
Alex is very upset with WCW right now. After he made an appearance on Nitro
with his new gimmick, WCW cancelled his gimmick/or Return due to the
Columbine shootings. Wight was slated to have a gimmick similar to a gothic trenchcoat look.
I think this was a good Call For WCW.

BAM BAM INJURED
According to Diamond Dallas Page, Bam Bam had a problem the night of the PPV.
Before he could even think about Showing up at the Great American Bash,
Bammers had to get a CAT scan and DDP put's it like this..."Turns out Bammer
had a ton of fluid on his spine and had to get an epideral shot just to make
the Pay Per View. Now that is hardcore." Lets hope WCW gets there big show
stoppers back soon!

News and Rumors By: Pollrlex

WWF ATTITUDE RELEASE DATE
For all you Game freaks out there in Readerville, the Video game WWF
Attitude will be released this summer. For Sony PlayStation, the scheduled
release date is Mid July. For the Nintendo 64 it should be released in Late
August. And it will be made for the New Dreamcast scheduled for release
September 9th.


WWF PLAGUE!!!!!
When it rains, You sure don't want someone named MONSOON working for you.. Yet
that is what is happening in the WWF right now. The Harts have officially
Filed a wrongful death Lawsuit against Titan and A few other companies
involved with the Stunt that took the Life Of Owen Hart.
SABLE, The Hart Family, Remember the Vader incident in Kuwait, where Vader
didn't appreciate the comments of a local Kuwait TV host, and
proceeded to throttle him? Well, it has been awhile, but according to
today's NY Daily News, the WWF is facing a federal lawsuit, filed that
claims that WWF violated civil rights and defamed his character. Plus to
top iot off some fans In Kansas City that were at Over the Edge are suing
for Emotional Distress. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy than Vince!

OVER THE EDGE!
WWF will not be releasing Over the Edge On Video due to the Tragedy that took
the Life of Owen Hart. I like that call By Vince... But that doesn't mean I like Vince!

EDGE to be pushed.
Edge will soon be breaking off from The Brood. He will receive a HUGE singles
push down the road resulting in an Intercontinental title reign. Good for him!!!

MANKIND SHINDIG!
Rumor says Mankind when he returns will combine 3 of his gimmicks. Cactus
Jack pants and boots, Dudelove T-Shirt, and the Mankind Mask .. if this
holds to be true.. that would be something I would like to see!

SABLE UPDATE
Although Sable was on Last weeks Nitro, She is still apparently employed by
WWF, But since she Bought her ticket to Nitro, She will not have anything to
worry about if WWF takes her to Court.

If  Sable stays with the WWF, her contract expires in August 2001. As for me..
Well I could care less.. I watch for the wrestling.. Not the Soap opera
side show. Well except for one Nitro Girl.. Ok I admit it!

ECW NEWS AND RUMORS By Pollrlex


2 COLD NEEDS A JOB
2 Cold Scorpio gave WCW a call this past weekend looking for a
job. If you recall, he was fired from WCW in 1993 for repeatedly failing
drug tests. It seems as if Scorpio sees a lot of potential with the
hardcore division of WCW, and look for him to be aligned with Hak (if he
actually does sign a contract) .

MY KINDA SHOW!!!
Oh hell yeah!! Rob Van Dam is smoking pot!!! After RVD taped a NBC's
Saturday morning CITY GUYS television show, producers learned of RVD's
"herbal" ways. Peter Engal, who hired Van Dam, is one of NBC's leading
crusaders for cleaning up children's television was reportedly shocked and
embarrassed when he found out about the pot smoking. To Me that is the Whole F'N Show! Oh YEAH!


LYNN To TURN HEEL???

The past few weeks in ECW Jerry Lynn has been showing signs towards becoming
a heel in the company. It appears that ECW wants to go the same roads with
Jerry Lynn that they did the same with guys like Rob Van Dam and Lance Storm.
Before Storm and Van Dam moved much in a heel direction they got them both
over with the fans...

Wrap Up By Big Al 211



Hey Yo, Big Al here with the Nitro Report. I wasn't real happy with this
Nitro, so if I get boring, please remember what I had to work with.

*Savage,Sid and the Ho's got out of the hummer. Nash jumps out of a limo and
starts to run after the hummer. No view of the driver.

*Master P comes out with, get this, Silkk the Shocker and C-Murder. That was
kinda cool I guess, but this is wrestling, not a concert. The crowd likes
him, as they were in his hometown, but not as much as you'd expect.

*Lenny Lane, who is a pretty funny guy, is shown in the back picking out his
color of tights. Lodi, his soon to be tag team partner shows up, and gives
Lodi some encouragement, and a back massage. Lane tells Lodi he has the best
thumbs. uh huh. Look for there new tag team, The Gaylords, pretty soon. I
don't think these guys are gonna get over that way, but they will get ALOT of
attention.

*DJ Ran again. You know, I don't give a dam where the "Rowdiest" section of the building is.

Kidman Vs. Pyschosis
* Pretty good match, as you'd expect from any of Kidman's matches. Kidman
early, Pyschosis dominated later on in the match. Kidman had Psychosis set up
for the shooting star press when Randy"what the hell happened to my mic
skills" Savage came down with the Ho's and Sid. Sid with a sweet choke slam
on Kidman. Executes a decent powerbomb on Psychosis, when Sting comes out and
chases him away. After Savage and Sid leave,Kevin Nash comes down and
questions Sting, asks why he came out of a hummer to attack Rick Steiner a
week before. Sting says he is not the hummer driver and Nash says had better
not be. I think that would be great if it was Sting, because no one would
expect it. That wont happen though because Sting doesn't wanna go heel because
of his religion, so rule him out.

Winner: No Contest

*Ric Flair and Piper in presidents office talking. These guys are a great
combo together. Flair says at bash at the beach it will be Sting and Nash vs.
Sid and Macho. Piper follows by booking Sid vs. Sting for tonight! At this
point I had to wonder if the Sid-Sting match would ever happen, or how long
it would go.

Lenny Lane Vs. Meng
* Loud chants of "Faggot" going on for Lane. Seems like he is gonna fit his
part very well. Meng is killing Lane. Lodi comes out to some more "Faggot"
chants. Meng throws Lane off the top rope with a tongan death grip. Lodi is
very upset and helps his gaylord partner to his feet.

Winner: Meng

*The no limit soldiers came out, a bunch of them, and had some fat kid in the
crowd sing happy birthday for Silkk The Shocker. Hennig comes down and says
he has a gift for Silkk. Its a cowboy hat, and silkk throws it to the floor
and steps on it.Cake thrown in Hennigs face, and somehow knocks him down. ok.
Outside the ring Hennig is AGAIN knocked down by this deadly cake. ok. Hennig
just walks away. The more I see The No limit Soldiers the more I hate them,
but I still like the country vs. Rap angle. And just for the record, I own
about 11 no limit cd's.Go figure.

Eddie Guerrero Vs. Juventud Guerrera
* Pretty good match. Eddie looks like he lost alot of muscle. I'm sure he will
get it back, he is a great young talent in wcw, but I say why throw him in
just any match. He should have came back into an angle, but oh well. A VERY
long match. I didn't get all of it as I was flipping from WWF to WCW. Eddie
hits a frog splash to get the win.

Winner: Eddie Guerrero

*The Cat Vs. Prince Iaukea
Hey remember when the prince won the t.v.title? HA! was that a joke or what.
Anyways, The Cat comes out, funny as always, and tells a fan something about
having all those chins. Not a real exciting match, as the cat hits a kick
with his dancing show for a win. The Cat needs a good angle. Maybe he can
fight the Gaylords.

Winner: The Cat

Booker T Vs. Kanyon
Good match, best on card so far.Booker T looked pretty good in his first
match back in a while. Got a huge pop for his return, opposite Eddie
Guererra. Technical match. After a cresant side kick by Booker,DDP and Bam
Bam come out. Kanyon hits Booker with the belt. Diamond cutter by Page on the
ref. Booker gets pounded. I'm wondering were Stevie Ray was.

Winner: Booker T By DQ

Flair and Piper come out. Flair says he almost died on Buff Bagwell's Gf last
night. Buff comes out and gets beat on by Flair and Piper. Ref starts a
handy-cap tag match, which turned into my favorite match of the night.

Ric Flair and Roddy Piper Vs. Buff Bagwell and Dean Malenko
Starts out flair and piper vs. bagwell. Bagwell in control early, then Flair
and Piper really start to take it to Bagwell. Malenko eventually runs out
about 10 minutes into the match. Crowd is pumped. Malenko makes tag and is
cleaning house when Arn anderson comes in. Ref is looking away when Piper
hits bagwell with a foreign object. Flair covers Bagwell to get the win. Nice
match. I really like the Old vs. New, it seems to really be bringing out the
best in the young guys, as I think they see this as there chance.

Winners: Ric Flair and Roddy Piper

Kanyon and DDP Vs. Rey Mysterio and Konnan For WCW Tag Titles
*I wasn't real into this match, the soldiers were out and the crowd was really
going for Konnan and Rey. Windham,Hennig,Saturn,Benoit,Master P and a ton of
the No Limit soldiers come into the ring, as we don't get a winner. THAT'S GAY.

Winners: No Contest

Sid Vicious Vs. Sting
I didn't expect this match to last long and it didn't surprise me. Sting had a
few moves early but Sid dominated most of the match. After a stinger splash
on Sid, Macho Mic skills came in and caused Sid to get the DQ. As they
pounded Sting, Luger came down the aisle to help Sting. Luger kept smiling,
that pissed me off. He needs to keep a straight face. Macho said something
dumb on the mic(big surprise huh) and Sid covered him by actually making
sense. It seemed like they knew this was a horrible ending and wanted a way
to cover it up but couldn't. Sting did the "We got 2 words for ya" to the
crowd, which didn't really respond. I gotta say that's awful dumb, they ended
there show with a phrase the WWF has had out for over a year. Oh Well.

Winner: Sting By DQ




Nitro Review: I really hated this Nitro. Good spots were the
Flair\Piper-Bagwell\Malenko match, and a good match from Booker T and Kanyon.
Bad spots were the whole rest of the show, mainly No Limit, Lenny Lnae and
Lodi, although they may get good, and just no plot. There was ALOT of good
wrestling, with no meaning. If they had some stories it would be great, but
they don't. If you liked pure wrestling with no storyline whatso ever, this
nitro was for you. If you like storyline at all, this nitro was hell. From
1-10, I'm givin this Nitro a 3. The ending was god awful,and they couldn't keep
me from switching the channel. I hope it's better next week, and I'm sure it
will be. All comments may be sent to Big Al 211.

Wrap Up Credit [email protected]/Pasbani


- To begin the live Raw this week, Triple H and Chyna came to the ring. HHH
grabbed the mic and called out the Undertaker right away. The Undertaker came
to the ring and was stopped by the Corporate Ministry and Vince McMahon.
Vince got the mic and said the fans want to see the Corporate Ministry break,
and asked the fans if they wanted that. They screamed yes, but McMahon said
that won't happen tonight, or any night. After talking them to stay back from
each other, McMahon started to talk about this Sunday's King of the Ring. He
said there that this Sunday, Chyna will become the queen of the ring, and the
Undertaker will keep his title. Vince then talked about his and Shane's
ladder match against Austin saying they'll put Austin at the bottom of the
ladder, while they stand at top. McMahon said he will fall defeat this
Sunday. The glass hit and out came Stone Cold Steve Austin with a ladder.
Austin climbed the ladder with a beer in hand, and told Vince and Shane that
he accepts the match, and their @$$ belongs to him this Sunday. Austin then
stated that he has added another stipulation to the match, where if any
member of the Corporate Ministry come to the ring, they will be DQed, and
Austin will win the match. McMahon said since they still own 25% of the WWF,
he wants no holds barred, so any member can come in. Shawn Micheals came out
and said before he throws out some stipulations, he needs some coffee. Brisco
and Paterson came out and handed Micheals some coffee. Micheals then announced
that Austin will face any member of the Corporate Ministry this week, and if
he wins, he decides the stipulations for the KOTR main event. And if any
member of the Corporate Ministry interferes in this week's match, he gets
100% ownership of the WWF. Vince said the Undertaker will face him, but
Micheals says he's already booked this week, as well as Triple H. Micheals
announced that the Undertaker will defend the title against Triple H this
week. Vince then decided to put the Bossman against Austin, and Micheals says
he will be the special referee. Austin said he'll beat Bossman's @$$, and
then all left, not before Micheals announced another match where Brisco and
Paterson will face Vince and Shane later on! While the Corporate Ministry
chased after Paterson and Brisco, Viceria was hit by Shamrock from behind!

- Ken Shamrock came down to face Test, a match ordered by McMahon. Jeff
Jarrett came down followed by Paterson and Brisco. Paterson got the mic and
said this will be a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Title, Jeff
Jarrett, Shamrock, and Test. During the match, Steve Blackman came down and
striked Ken Shamrock with a kendo stick! Jarrett nailed Test into the ring
posts, and jumped in the ring covering Shamrock to retain the title!

- The Rock came out to a great crowd response to face Edge. The Rock got the
mic first and said he'll go to the "the undertaker's learning tree and pick a
stick and shove it up his candy@$$! Edge came through the crowd and entered
the ring and the match began. After the Rock got the win, the Undertaker ran
down and attacked his King of the Ring opponent tombstoning the Rock to the
canvas.

- In a special "gorila slam match", Mark Henry fought Viceria. At one point,
Viceria won the match after he got him up off the ropes. Viceria continued to
hurt Henry until D'Lo Brown came down and helped Henry slam Viceria off the
ropes! Minion came down and hit D'Lo and Henry with Shane's old European
Title belt!

- Back from the break, JR announced that the Beaver Cleavage/Meat contest will
not take place because Beaver doesn't want to fight him.

- Stone Cold Steve Austin faced the Big Bossman with Shawn Micheals as the
special referee. If Austin wins, his no corporate ministry members at
ringside stipulation will be, but if Bossman wins, Vince's no holds barred
stipulation will be. Minutes into the match, Vince and Shane brought out the
corporate ladder. Austin chased them away and used the ladder on the Bossman.
Later, Vince and Shane came back with the ladder and later Austin pushed
Vince off the ladder making him land on the announce table! In the end,
Austin used the Bossman's knight stick on his opponent and stunned him for
the win! Vince and Shane were angry and left upset!

- Backstage during the break, the Corporate Ministry all attacked the Bossman
for loosing the match. Val Venis came out to face Prince Albert. As Droz and
Albert came out, Venis handcuffed both to the ring! Val opened their pearsing
tools and put Val's name on Albert's @$$!

- In a six man tag match, Kane, X-Pac, and the Road Dog took on Badd Ass
Billy Gunn, and the Acolytes. Before the match, X-Pac challenged them to put
the tag titles up and Gunn got the mic and said that they accepted, but the
Acolytes weren't happy. In the end, Gunn hit X-Pac with his finisher and got
the win. Gunn left with one of the tag titles while the Acolytes wondered why.

- On GTV backstage, Al Snow was seen "picking his nose" (lol)

- The Big Show Paul Wight came out to face Hardcore Holly. Holly came out and
said he doesn't like the Big Show, and wants to make their match a hardcore
match. Holly came down and the match started backstage! The match spilled
outside. Wight through Holly into the wall, and shoved a small car over the
edge which seemly hit Holly from under giving him the win!

- Vince and Shane McMahon took on Paterson and Brisco in the next match.
During the match, Ken Shamrock ran down and Vince ran. Shamrock got a hold of
Shane and attacked him. Shamrock chased Vince back. Paterson and Brisco tried
to cover Shane until the Mean Street Posse, with another big man, came to the
ring and destroyed Paterson & Brisco!

- In a match for the World Wrestling Federation Championship, the Undertaker
defended against Triple H. During the match, the Undertaker's knee went out
which gave HHH an advantage. At another point, Chyna tried to hit the
Undertaker, but he blocked it. The Rock came down and delivered the Rock
Bottom to the Undertaker. The Rock then called down a huge Rock symbol and
tried to put him on it until the Corporate Ministry came down to attack. The
Bossman came down and helped the Rock. The Corporate Ministry left and Paul
Bearer was the one who had to be put on the symbol!! The Rock got the mic and
said he'll win the title this Sunday as the show went off!

Big AL On: Using Hogan's Music


Now, first I just wanna say that tonight's Raw Killed Nitro, it wasn't even
close. I admit to being a Huge WCW fan, and I almost never bad mouth them,
but tonight's Nitro was about the calibur of a Saturday Night. That being
said, I only have one thing id like to touch on as far as the WWF, who put on
a hell of a show: The use of Hulk Hogan's old music.Giving Patterson,who
doesn't even speak English right, and Briscow the real American theme. That's
just plain gay. Gay Gay Gay. Hulk Hogan made the WWF in the 80's, and even
though he may be gone, and him and vince don't have the best relationship,
there is no need to dis respect the "Character" of Hulk Hogan. They have done
it in the past and they should just leave it alone. During the entrance of
the stooges, everyone's favorite commentator Jim Ross said "I wanted to hurl
when I heard that song 10 years ago".Yeah, well I wanna hurl everytime I look
at your face J.R., so what. He should keep his dam mouth shut. I guess it's
ok for "Good Ol" J.R. to make fun of others but as soon as someone in WCW
makes a comment about him, they are muther fuckers. I think all is fair in
love and war, and my beef really isn't with what he said as much as it is the
fact everyone always jumps on J.R.'s side, and no one will give a dam who
J.R. makes fun of. Hogan meant more to wrestling than J.R. could mean in
1,000 years. And as for Patterson and Briscow, they should just stick to not
having music, because there was no theme music when they wrestled.Well, now I
got that off my chest. WCW was horrid tonight and WWF was great. I'm sure alot
of WCW fans will be pissed at me and alot of J.R.'s little cowboy's will be
pissed too, but I don't care because that's my opinion, and that's all I gotta
say. Til next week, I'm Big Al.



What killed the greatest tag team ever?
By Pollrlex

Well this weeks Column was gonna be a real hit.. Till I got hit by a Kidney
Infection and it took a few days away from me. However I am on Meds and
recovering well so here goes a brief Candya$$ column.!

When I began watching wrestling back in the early 80's I was open to many
great talent we see today as OLDies but almost can be goodies... However
there is ONE tag Team I would LOVE to see Back Under the guidance of David
Crockett. The Road Warriors! also known as Legion Of Doom.
Hawk and Animal Kicked A$$ back in the days, they refused no team a match..
no matter what the stipulations.. for example, Scaffold matches were common,
War games was deadly!, and barb-wire matches?? well It looked pretty darn
real to me back then!
There has NEVER been a bigger badder team than the Road Warriors. The only
team that could come close is the Old Steiners. But When the R.R. with the
WWF for the first time a few years back, when I saw how Mcmahon changed the
Shoulder pads to rubber spikes and red coloring.. I knew he would ruin them.
And he did.
Mcmahon has Killed off one of the GREATEST teams ever, in my opinion, and
the Road Warriors are blaming Mcmahon for doing it too!
I hope to see Hawk and Animal Return to WCW where they belong. I seen angles
where a bench press contest took out the eye of animal!
Falls from a scaffold onto a ring, duel cages and warriors kicking tail! but
what happened?
All I have to say is.. Thanks Again Vince Mcmahon for screwing the fans out
of the best team that ever wrestled in any Federation!

HennigPlex
By HennigPlex

What's up all? HennigPlex is back and <gasp> a lil better than before!
This week it looks like this edition of HennigPlex is gonna be a load of
random thoughts. *Quick Tip: Missed a week old Nitro? The Nitro's from two
Mondays ago are broadcast on Telemundo on Saturday evenings. The downside
is that you have to be fluent in SPANISH! Yup, Spanish... Most will get a
kick out of it even they don't know Spanish. "Que ora es NITRO GIRRRRRLS"
heheheh....kinda like GOOOOAL.* "I hate Rap"....hehehehe, I don't agree,
but the song is damn funny. What th'hell is Hennig doing with Bobby Duncum
anyway? He's better than that. Once Windham gets rid of those shorts, he
and hennig should kick Duncum's ass. Regardless, Hennig is still the man.
Sid in WCW? Sable at Nitro? Master P and No Limit? I notice that Bischoff
got Sable a seat dead center in the front row...TV Side...ratings ploy?
naaaah... Looks like a certain fed is trying to make a move out of the hole.
Hmmmm...Shane Douglas anyone? *WCW is sports entertainment, WWF is the damn
soap opera everyone is talking about*...The Cat can dance...The whole
"wrestler becomes owner/prez/ceo of the fed" angle has gone too far. Vince
McMahon tries to get ratings with horse manure and beer (and it
works)...When is Rob Van Dam going to have the TV Title surgically attached
it his waist?...or will Jerry Lynn rip it off?...Farooq is looking good,
damn good conditioning...not the same fat NOD slob...If Disco Inferno is
EVER going to be HUGE, he's gotta find some way to ditch that
gimmick...Kinda like Tom Brandi ditched Salvatore Sincere...he needs a
haircut too. Bad Gimmick = Beaver Cleavage...although his mom... :)
Biggest waste of time? see previous column. Alex Wright sightings? I
wish... Any wrestling fed where a man (Ballz or Axl) is powerbombed through
a burning table with tacks on it, will survive. Same goes for a man diving
off of a balcony for a cheer. The ECW wrestlers do it because they love
it....oh, and they're a tad bit sick too...~¿ô....I'm gonna have a little
mini-poll here....if its okay with BigAl and the rest of the legion
crew...Its a one (or two) time thing...We already know that women have a
role in wrestling...but should they be eye candy (like Gorgeous George!
dayum!) orr...ahem..more muscular enforcer types like Chyna and Bass...Send
what you feel to me at HennigPlex
..until the next column...

WWF VS. WCW
BY Josh Pivonka


It's been a much discussed question over the years who the better
wrestling federation is, WWF or wcw. This question has been debated for many
years and now I am going to give you the first ever (that I know of) Top Ten
List about wrestling. This is basically a rip from David Letterman but I
don't like him anyway so here it goes.
Piranha's Top Ten Reasons Why the WWF is Better than the wcw:

10) WWF announcers are more exciting and bring a lot of contradiction
into the plot.

9) The WWF story is more dramatic and is better written than that of the
wcw's.

8) The acting of the WWF wrestlers is much better. wcw looks like it did
10 years ago. They need to modernize.

7) Stone Cold Steve Austin. Enough said.

6) The WWF has a variety of matches. They don't just go out every match
and do the same ole same ole. They switch it up every once in a while.

5) WWF wrestlers are newer, better, and a hell of a lot funner to watch.
I used to watch wcw wrestlers, when they were young and in the WWF.

4) There are more chics in the WWF. Sure wcw has its Nitro Girls and now
probably the WWF's Sable, but they don't get the job done for me. All they
do is dance. I like it when they play a character or actually do some
wrestling.

3) Did I mention Stone Cold Steve Austin?

2) The WWF entrances are way better. Each wrestler has his or her own music
blaring, a video on the Titan Tron, and the crowd cheers or boos for
him or her. In the wcw the guys come out with this little sound
coming out of a speaker and the crowd just sits there. They're all the
same except for Goldberg.

And the number one reason why the WWF is better than the wcw:
Two words......."MORE BEER!!!!!"
