Diesel and Razor Ramon coming back to the WWF? Remember, last time, Vinnie Mac took it on the chin and bit his tongue and planned and delivered some of the funniest and most entertaining Billionaire Ted Skits. Don't think Vinnie has not been just biding his time, knowing that soon, he will get his sweet revenge. And remember, the WWF television production is so much better than the WCW. They won't do the horrible job they did with the Sting/NWO stuff.

Congratulations to referee Mark Curtis (SMW fame) for his new job in WCW. I am surprised he did not end up in WWF where Jim Cornette ended up but nonetheless, his new job is deserving. I am sure Mark paid his dues in SMW and worked his tail off doing many of the behind-the-scent kind of things to help the SMW promotion. Congratulations Mark!

The plan right now is to build for the biggest show of the year on 11/16 as the November to Remember comes your way. It is almost definite this show will not be a pay-per-view. They need almost 4 months to properly market the pay-per-view.

Luna Vachon has returned to valet action in the USWA.

Paul Alperstein's American Wrestling Federation held a press conference on 9/12 at the All-Star Cafe in New York to hype its new fall season broadcasts which begin nationally on 9/21. This group purchased television time in 45 of the top 50 markets. Some of the big names wrestling for this group are The Road Warriors, Greg Valentine, Tommy Rich, Sgt. Slaughter, Tito Santana, Bob Orton, Tom Zenk, Blacktop Bully, Charlie Norris and Missy Hyatt. This wrestling promotion will differ from other non-European promotions because they'll use the European and boxing rounds system. Look for this promotion to go just a little bit further than the UWF.

Great Sasuke made his first public appearance since his head injury on 9/1, but he had to be helped around the arena in a wheelchair. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him in the ring again soon.

Stan Hansen recently received a title match against Kenta Kobashi. When making his ring entrance, Stan did not play to the crowd and was very serious about what could be his last title shot. Stan is getting up there in years. I've been told this match was one heck of a match and probably Stan's best match in 3 years. This match is a must see match for those in the video trading market.

Lots of injuries having an affect on the current tour. Great Sasuke - fractured skull, Scott Steiner - hip injury, Hawk - knee surgery. Scott Hall also cancelled as he apparently has the right to cut his own deal with New Japan. WCW had inadvertantly booked him on this tour.

Bas Rutten retained his King of Pancrase championship to headline Pancrase's third anniversary show on 9/7 at Tokyo Bay NK Hall. The show drew a standing room only crowd of 7,250 fans in the 7,000 seat arena.

The biggest show in company history using wrestlers from WCW, New Japan and WAR has been moved from 11/20 to 11/29 in Mexico City.

Strictly rumor: EMLL strong-armed Vampiro and all I've heard is that his appearance at ECW is a no-go and this was caused by the jump of Vampiro to Promell. We'll have to wait and see until I can confirm. Stay tuned!
