| UnCensored did a 0.73 buyrate.  This translates to 175000 buys.  WCW 
| grossed around $2,200,000 from it. 

They grossed a lot of people out by having Hogan defeat eight guys!


| I haven't seen anyone post much about the interviews Eric Bischoff 
| gave recently, so I'll cut and paste a sound-bite here: "Vince McMahon 
| is an egomaniacal punk 

And what is Hogan?

| If there's a Burger King 
| [that's] doing well drawing people who are hungry, if you're 
| McDonald's you're going after that market. 

Yeah, but McDonald's doesn't go around telling you what's in Burger
King's burgers. :-)  (ref Eric giving away results of Raw)

| I've never had a conversation with [Sean Waltman]

Ummm... you didn't ever talk to him when you flew him to Atlanta for
his WCW tryout about three years back?

| I'm not sure what Brian Pillman is 
| going to do.

Hopefully rest up from his accident, stay in shape, and come back by
the end of 1996 as WCW's biggest heel!

| I respect Brian as a person.

...and he respects YOU, BookerMan!! ;-)

| He's a talented guy and we'll do anything we can to keep him

This is good news.  The WWF draws decent heat with Goldust.  ECW draws
*great* heat with Alfonso.  WCW was on the verge of having the "Heel
of the Decade".  Don't let him slip away.

| Hogan was supposed to do a stretcher job on Nitro and take some time 
| off, but changed the booking at the last minute. WCW wasn't happy with 
| the change of plans.

I hadn't read this so far on RSPW.  To paraphrase someone (forgot
who): "Hogan is like the stench in New York City--he just won't go
away."

| "Diesel ... helped turn me into a man." --Shawn Michaels

Looking forward to Michaels vs Goldust, then?

| After Diesel jobs to Michaels at the April In Your House, he'll do a 
| few house shows and wrestle his WWF fairwell match on 19 May 1996 at 
| MSG (which will also be Razor's last WWF match, as he gets buried by 
| TMTC Vader).  Neither one will be at the 26 May 1996 PPV.

There are rumors that Vince is trying to work us all (as well as his
own boys) with the Diesel thing, and that he will still be with the
WWF come June.  Guess we won't know for sure until then. :-)

| I don't even like their rings. Their rings are smaller and bouncier

Isn't that a *good* thing?  If I were coming off the top turnbuckle I
think I'd rather hit WCW's trampoline than WWF's tarp.  Not to mention
that it's harder to do stuff off the ropes in the WWF.  Why do you
think the Undertaker needs to hold his opponent's hand to keep balance
in the WWF when he used to do the move unassisted in WCW?  Same reason
Hardwalk(sp?) can walk the ropes in WCW but wouldn't dare try it in
the WWF.

| Hulk Hogan was this tremendous hero to me

You need a new hero, Bret. ;-)

| I offered my hand and he never accepted it

Hulk taught Bischoff everything he knows!!

Hope it's back on MSC tonight!

| Abdullah the Butcher jumped from All Japan Pro Wrestling to 
| Tokyo Pro Wrestling.

Cactus jobbed in Japan recently as well.  I'd like to see these two
together again (either tagging together or in an all-out brawl against
each other.  Now THAT was a great WCW feud!
