M C o m p O b j ^ time they started giving some of these younger guys a decent push. And professionals like Holly and Storm don't mind doing the job for these kids. Get ready. There are more to come.
Q.When will Sting, Goldberg and Hulk Hogan return to WCW?
--Scott Stemn Hebron, Ohio
A. When the new ownership of WCW kicks in, look for all of
these guys to reappear.
Q. Are the Undertaker and Kane going to stay together? I have
heard that 'Taker is going back to The Lord of Darkness!
--Jason Lamb
A.Right now, it looks as if they will stay together, but it
is the WWF, and anything can happen. They both will wrestle
as singles as well. As for the Lord of Darkness gimmick,
stay tuned!
Q. When/where is Hulk Hogan, my immortal idol, coming back?
I grew up in the '80s. I've been watching "Nitro"/"Thunder"
for some time now and Hogan hasn't come back. --John Millisor
Mount Gilead, Ohio
A.Well actually noone really knows when since wcw has taken a new owner.
Q. Is Kane really burned? Is Deborah married to Stone Cold in
real life?
-- Samantha Ferguson
Fay, N.C.
A. No, Glenn Jacobs (Kane) is not burned. It's simply a
storyline. Yes, Deborah and Steve Austin tied the knot
recently and live in Texas.
Q. I've been a wrestling fan since Shawn Michaels started
and I have followed his career, and I was wondering what
role will he have in the WWF? I've heard he was going to be
a manager. Is this true?
-- Michael Perman
Shelby, Ohio
A. Nobody knows for sure what HBK will be doing for the WWF.
Keep your eyes glued to the set. He's bound to show up
anytime, anywhere.
Q. I've been a huge wrestling fan my whole life, but never
in my wildest imagination did I ever think that Vince McMahon
would buy WCW. This is without a doubt the biggest news ever
to hit sports entertainment. This will change the world of
wrestling as we know it. Dream matches will be made, but then
again we may never see some wrestlers again, such as Jeff
Jarrett or the one-time Golddust, because of their past
relations with the WWF. Some careers may never get the
exposure that they would've gotten in WCW or even ECW, now
that they are all one and the same, basically. Nonetheless,
this is exactly what WCW needs to become a top player again.
Who would've thought it would be Vinny Mac who would be
helping them get there?
-- Mike GeorgeRandolph, Mass.
A. Good points, Mike. It's going to be interesting to see
what happens with the whole situation now. Once again, stay
tuned, folks. Anything can happen!
Q. when will we know which wrestlers will come over
from WCW?
-- Lindsey C. Kokomo, IN
A. The WWF has already signed some wrestlers, and more are
expected to be announced soon. Keep your ears and eyes open.
Q. I would like to know who is making the voice that keeps
on spying on The Undertaker and his wife, Sarah?
-- Brian Basinger from Marion, Ohio
A. Hard to say right now. Rumors have it being Paul Bearer,
Kane, Shawn Michaels, Vince McMahon and even Rhyno. My money
is on Paul Bearer.
Q. Did Triple H really hurt his leg or was it for show?
-- Aaron Webb from Vicksburg, Miss.
A. His injury is for real (a torn quadricep) and he will
be out for around four to six months.
Q. Which wrestler had the WWF title belt when the WWF
first started?
-- Michael Cross from St . Louis
A. The first person to hold the belt was Bruno Sammartino,
when the federation was known as the WWWF.

"Questions and Answers"
some qusetions that some people have been asking me!and if you would like to ask me some
yourself please send me an email to tomkerrj@yahoo.com :
Ever wonder how wrestlers throw fireballs? Or how they hit each other with chairs without getting hurt? I have, too. After some searching, I finally found the answers to these age-old questions.
1. How do wrestlers throw fireballs?
A: A substance called nirocellulose is formed into a blazing paper known as flash paper. It burns extremely quickly. When lit up (usually by a lighter concealed by the referee until the right moment), it produces a dramatic flash for a few seconds. The wrestler throws the fireball after lighting it, and if timed right, will seemingly explode in the other wrestler's face. There is very little damage to the other wrestler, and no one has actually been burned from the trick.
2. How do wrestlers color their tongues?
A: Food coloring, suckers, candy, Kool Aid...
3. How do wrestlers blow mist? A: Although this is common in Japan, few wrestlers in North America perform it. However, those who do blow mist in the U.S. are usually associated with it (for instance, what stands out most in your mind about the old WWE wrestler in the mid-90's, Quang?). The "evil green mist" is performed when wrestlers mix water with food coloring. They then put the mixture in a small baggie or ballon, and have the referee conceal it in his pocket until the planned time. Sometimes, though, the wrestler will already have it in his mouth, but that's usually just during a short match. Of course, there is a choking hazard here, so it would be wise not to try this one at home.
4. How do wrestlers hit each other with chairs without get- ting hurt?
A: All of the fold-up chairs the wrestlers use are designed to take most of the impact of a blow and ost of the time, wrestlers don't hit their opponents very hard, which reduces the risk of injury. Be warned: Regular kitchen chairs won't take most of the impact (as if you didn't aready know) and will end up actually injuring your opponent.
5: How do wrestlers bleed?
A: Despite what you might have heard, 95% percent of the time, a wrestler bleeds by "blading" himself, and not by using a blood capsule. Here's how it works: A wreslter rolls out of the ring and hides himself from the view of the audience. He then pulls out a small blade (usually concealed in a taped-up wrist or finger) and quickly cuts his forehead. Cutting any- where else is very dangerous and is rarely ever attempted. However, cutting the forehead is somewhat dangerous, because you can hit a major artery if you cut too deep. New Jack learned this the hard way. The thirst for blood has let up lately, because of the fear of AIDS.
Randy Orton is a joke. He comes out of nowhere and wins his first match. What did he do to deserve such a large push so soon? Maven lost his first two matches and Nidia is still in de- velopmental training. Why would the WWE make good wrestlers like Hardcore Holly and Lance Storm, who have been wrestling for years, act like they can't beat this kid who made his debut like two weeks ago? It's ridiculous.
-- Cameron Phoenix
A -- Well, as bad as it might sound, it's about g stars like Bill
Watts, Killer Karl Cox, Mr. Wrestling II, etc. Please help
me.
-- Michael Johnson from Hermanville, Ms.
A. Try getting on eBay and looking. That's where I bought
most of mine.
Q. I've read in some wrestling magazines that my favorite
wrestler of all time, Shawn Michaels, is going to make a
comeback to the WWF and start wrestling again. Is it true?
If so, when? I hope very soon.
-- J.D. Mount Vernon, Ohio
A. Shawn Michaels was scheduled to appear back on TV two
months ago, but walked out of the show. The WWF does have
plans to bring him back, but when and where still remains a
mystery.
Q. I think it's appalling that Molly Holly is receiving
pressure from management to work on her figure. Personally,
I think she's the only normal-looking one out of all the
women. Everybody is fake these days. There is more plastic
in wrestling than there is in a plastics factory. These
women look very odd and, might I add, very trampy. Why
don't they just run around naked, because they sure don't
leave much to the imagination.
The WWF needs to get some class and throw out the trash. We
wonder why so many girls are ending up pregnant at 12 and 13.
Look at the role models they have. It makes them think that
all men like cheap trashy women. It's a shame women have to
worry so much about their appearence. Women need to accept
the way they were born and quit trying to see who can have
the biggest breasts.
-- Robyn Wygant Nevada, Ohio
A. Good call, Robyn. I think Molly looks the best of them
all too. Just leave her alone!
Q. I am a big wrestling fan and I was wondering why The Rock
got suspended? What did he do? I watch wrestling every Monday
and Thursday night, and without him, it's kind of boring not
being able to watch our People's Champ have a match. So when
is he making it back to the WWF?
-- Lindsay Pittsburgh
A. The Rock was "suspended" so he could go and make movies,
like the "Scorpion King," due out sometime in summer. Look
for him to return to WWF TV soon, although not as a wrestler.
That will be around Summerslam sometime.
Q. I thought the tag team title match on the May 21 "Raw"
was one of the best matches in a long time.What did you
think? -- Josh W. Va.
A. To tell you the truth, Josh, I thought it was a darn good
match. Although Triple H was injured during the match, it
doesn't overshadow the fact that Chris Benoit and Chris
Jericho are a great tag team. Readers, what do you think
of the new tag team champions?
Q.& A.
Q:I can't believe they brought that little worm X-Pac back again. I was hoping he was really lost. X-Pac sucks. Take a vote and see!
-- Bob Tulsa, Okla.
A: Well, wrestling fans, what do you think? Does X-Pac suck? Drop me a line and let me know your thoughts. Although he is just betraying a role. kinda reminds me of wimpy Harvey Wimpleman (same size and weight).
Q:I have a question concerning the "draft" that just took place. It seems that many of my favorites (Kane, Undertaker, Triple H) have gone with Ric Flair to "RAW". Where I live, I only get "Smackdown", so does that mean I will only be seeing those wres- tlers who are with Vince?
-- Lisa Soldotna, Alaska
A: As of right now, that is correct. On "Smackdown!", you will only be able to see Vince's wrestlers, along with the Undisputed Champion and the Women's Champion, who will appear on both shows.
Q: Since the return of the nWo to wrestling, the WWF has fit Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan into story lines with Stone Cold and the Rock, but what do they have planned for Kevin Nash? He has just been a tag-along with no major role in the pro- gramming. Does the WWF have any plans for him in the near future? Since he is such a big performer, I think someone like Kane or the Big Show would be good to start a story line with.
- Cody Illinois
A: Well, Cody, nobody but the WWF really knows what role Kevin Nash will play in the company. But wouldn't it be nice to see him feud with Kane or rekindle his old WCW feud with The Big Show?
How do you feel about the nWo coming back? I don't like it at all. I am a big WWF fan. Also, do you think it will af- fect superstars such as The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kurt Angle? I sure hope not.
-- A.J. Mangan Mansfield, Ohio
A: For now, the nWo will be good for ratings. In the long run, I believe it will be nothing but trouble. And yes, it will affect superstars such as Rock, Austin and Angle. Why, you ask? Because Hogan, Hall and Nash aren't happy unless they're in the main event, and that attitude will lead to some problems.
I was just wondering if the WWF is ever plan- ning on having a triple- level cage match? They were successful in WCW, so I would like to see them in the WWF.
-- Zach James Zanesville, Ohio
The triple level cage match, the WWF is always looking to up the ante on its pay-per-views, so you never know. It's very possible you could see it sometime in the future.
Is there a possibility that Big Poppa Pump or Sting will come to the WWF? If so, when will we see them?
-- Eric Berna
A: Look for Scott Steiner to make a WWF return sometime this summer. As for Sting, he's officially retired now, so don't expect to see him much anywhere.
I'd like to know what Tony Atlas is doing these days. I real- ly enjoyed him and haven't heard anything about him in a while.
-- Marcia Falls Church, Va.
A: Tony Atlas is working the independent scene all over the country.
Q. Whatever happened to Dick the Bruiser?
-- Cletis Perkins
Mount Pleasant, Tenn.
A. The Bruiser (real name Dick Afflis) died in the early
1990s from hardening of the arteries. The 62-year-old
Afflis was a marquee name in the Midwest during the 1950s
and 1960s, especially after a much-heralded brawl with
legendary football player Alex Karras that generated
mainstream attention.
Q. In response to Matt Barbosa's campaign letters for
Hall and Nash: Dude, are you totally stupid or do you
just do a good impression? Scott Hall is nothing but a
washed- up drunk, and Nash, well, while his vast array
of picture-frame punches and boot chokes are staggering
to say the least, he is old and slow.
But don't get me wrong, the guy is a wrestling genius.
I know I am not smart enough to invent a single punch
that takes 30 seconds to perform, let alone perform it
over and over as a main move.
I have a feeling that Matt is one of those guys who still
goes to WWF shows and holds up the dreaded nWo sign. At
least it is good for a laugh.
-- Austin Sheppard
St. Pauls, N.C.
A. Interesting take, Austin. Glad to know somebody's got
my back when it comes to Hall and Nash.
Q. Do you know where Ahmed Johnson is and why he didn't
come back to the WWF after his kidney injury? Also, his
return to wrestling in WCW as part of the New Harlem Heat
was very stupid.
-- Dominick Pittman
Fayetteville, N.C.
A. Actually, Johnson did return to the WWF after his injury.
He left the WWF shortly after and did some jail time in the
process. He showed up in WCW vastly overweight, and that's
the last we have heard from what could have been a very
promising young star.
Q.Next, I can't wait until Benoit and Rhyno get back in action
to help step up the competition level in the WWF. Also, it
would be great to see Tommy Dreamer, Jerry Lynn, Mike Awesome
and Justin Credible get some more quality airtime on WWF TV.
They have all paid their dues in ECW, as did Austin, Y2J and
RVD, and it surely couldn't hurt the ratings any. I will
always be pulling for the old ECW guys to get their quality
pushes. Long live wrestling!
-- Ace Beaty
Galion, Ohio
A. I can't wait until Benoit and Rhyno return either. You're
right, they will be at the top of the chart in intensity and
should make the competition level even stronger. As for the
old ECW guys, Tommy Dreamer is teaming with Steven Richards
and they are quite an impressive team. Jerry Lynn and Mike
Awesome are recovering from some injuries, so don't expect
to see them anytime soon. Justin Credible has been working
the house shows and is said to be doing quite well. But don't
expect to see any of these guys on WWF television in the near
future.
Q. I saw Steve Lombardi recently on Smackdown during the Stephanie/ Deborah backstage brawl, and was wondering if he will ever be in the ring again? He has good potential to be a top superstar. And whatever happened to Duke the Dumpster?
-- Bill E
A. Well, Lombardi, also known as the Brooklyn Brawler, has been wrestling on occassion for the WWF, on Jakked and Sunday Night Heat. He never was really a big star, but he still gets in the ring from time to time. As for Duke the Dumpster, he made an appearance at the gimmick battle royal during last year's Wrestlemania and hopes to return to WWF television. But as of this time, the WWF has no interest in him and he continues to work the indy circuit.
What is gonna happen with The Rock and Trish? It seems like they were heading in a steamy direction, and all of a sudden there is absolutley nothing going on. What's up with that?
-- Jamie Mansfield, Ohio
A. The WWF did plan on making a storyline out of it, but for some reason, dumped it fast. You just never know with the WWF.
Q. Lately, there has been some concern about the younger stars in the WWF. With the addition of Ric Flair, and talk of bringing back Hulk Hogan, it is easy to see why you would think this. But now with Y2J being Undisputed Champion, RVD moving his way up, and The Rock still a top star, the WWF will not make the same mistake that the old WCW did. But why in the world would the WWF even think of bringing back an old sellout from the 80s like Hogan?
-- Matt Summitville, Ind.
A. Interesting points, Matt. I agree with you totally. With guys like Chris Jericho, The Rock, RVD, Edge and Kurt Angle, why would you need Hogan, Kevin Nash or Scott Hall? Sure, they would be a ratings boost at first, but what happens when the initial love for the old trio wears off and you're stuck with three big egos and sagging ratings? I can tell you ... WCW.
Q. I see that the Big Bossman has recently returned to television. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Bossman and I'm glad to see him back. But with the wrestling world as fickle as it is and with superstars coming and going every day, how is the Big Bossman (who is an "old- school" WWF wrestler) still able to keep his spot after all these years? Is he that close with McMahon? Also, do you think Bobby The Brain will ever come back to a WWF announcer's table? -- Harold Fields
A. Well, glad to hear from an old-school wrestling fan. Bossman is in tight with Vince and the owner believes Bossman worked hard enough down in the feeder feds (OVW and HWA) to make it back to television. As for Bobby Heenan, sadly enough, he reportedly has been diagnosed with throat cancer and probably won't be making a comeback to wrestling.
Q. I was wondering, since my cousin doesn't believe me, are Too Much and Too Cool the same people? I was also wondering how old do you have to be to be in the WWF? Plus do you have to have a college or high school degree to be in the WWF? I have $15 riding on this question. -- Greg Painter Canal Winchester, Ohio
A. You guys sure do bet on weird things. Too Much and Too Cool are indeed the same duo, Scott Taylor and Brian Christopher. As for the WWF questions, no degrees are required and there are no age limits. You just have to have what it takes to be a wrestler.
Q. I began watching TV wrestling back in the late 1950s, when Argentina Rocco was the best. It seems that now most wrestling fans don't even realize that it is only for entertainment. Normally, no one really gets beat up, as those violent looking punches, blows and kicks rarely make contact at all. One will pound the other's face to a pulp, but at the end of the match, the poundee has few if any red marks, scratches or bruises. They have all been taught how to fall, and the winner is already picked. The real enjoyment of watching good choreographed matches has now been taken over by the 80 percent TV time allotted to yelling and screaming and only 20 percent to the "wrestling" itself. I give up. -- Charlie Newark, Ohio
A. Wow, it seems as if you cracked pro wrestling's mysteries, Charlie. As valid as your claim is, we knew that five years ago. Nonetheless, it is still fun to watch.
Q. Am I the only one that can't stand Ric Flair? A "woo" here and a "woo" there. He's a legend in the ring, but he just doesn't spark my interest in his new suit. Do you share my opinion?
-- Casey Fenton Center, Pa.
A. My opinion: "WHOOOOO!" I like seeing The Nature Boy on TV, as long as he isn't wrestling. Now, throwing a figure- four leglock on Vince McMahon is entertaining, nonetheless.
Q. Why not bring back the Godfather and the Ho's? I'd rather see that than Vince's butt every week. Also, I have a steak dinner riding on this bet. I say during one PPV event, the Undertaker fought a "fake" Undertaker, but I can't remember which one. Can you help me?
-- Kelvin Fayetteville, N.C.
A. The real Undertaker battled Ted DiBiase's fake Undertaker at Summerslam on Aug. 29, 1994. The fake Undertaker was Brian Lee, who went on to become Chainz in the Disciples of the Apocalypse.
Q. Have there been any rumors regarding Sting maybe making an appearance in the WWF? I agree with a message that was printed in the Squared Circle about what an impact Nash and Hall would make if they came back to the WWF.
-- Brian Fayetteville, N.C.
A. Sting has expressed no interest in ever joining the World Wrestling Federation, so consider him retired. And about the Hall and Nash "impact," I am sure you all know my stance on that one.
Scott Hall and Kevin Nash revolutionized wrestling. Along with Hulk Hogan, they brought wrestling to a new level. Austin, The Rock, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Vince McMahon, etc.. wouldn't be where they are today if it weren't for Hall and Nash. Hogan made wrestling, while Hall and Nash built it to new levels. Your bias toward The Outsiders is just a form of ignorance. You'll see what I am talking about within the next few weeks when the NWO will run wild in the WWF and bury the main event wanna-be's once and for all. People like Jericho, Austin, Rock, Flair and RVD will once again be at the bottom of the totem pole of pro wrestling right where they belong. WHAT? WHAT? That's right, it's just toooo sweeet!!! -- Matt H. Barbosa Zanesville, Ohio
A. Are you kidding me? Are you watching the same wrestling I am today? Vince McMahon made Hogan, Nash and Hall. If it weren't for Vinny Mac, Nash would still be working as Vinny Vegas in WCW, Hall would still be a nobody and Hogan would still suck. My grandma has more moves than Hogan. Don't make me laugh. Bury Austin and The Rock? Keep dreaming your old- WCW dreams and I'll come back to reality. But we all know it was the fans themselves that really make anyone, without them there would not be any wrestling at all.
Are we ever going to see The King, The Kat and Grand Masta Sexay in the WWF again? How about Sable? -- Kris Spring Lake, N.C. Q. Where has wrestling gone? Will we ever see the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin back as a good guy, Hulk Hogan, Goldberg, Stevie Ray, Scott Hall (my favorite wrestler of all time) and Vince McMahon? Without them in wrestling, it's just boring. -- Don Miller Vicksburg, Miss. A. Well, in the realm of pro wrestling, never say never. The possibility is always there for these wrestlers to return.
Q. When Triple H comes back from his injury, will he be a face or a heel? Where will Scott Steiner and Goldberg go? -- Tyler Thomas Tunnel Hill, Ga. A. When The Game returns to action, look for him to be a face and feud with either Stone Cold Steve Austin or Test. As for Scott Steiner, as soon as he gets healthy, look for him to appear in the WWF. Goldberg is still under contract with Time Warner and is sitting at home collecting a paycheck. Don't look for him to return to the ring anytime soon.
A. In the world of pro wrestling, anything is possible. But in my opinion, the only one I think who has a decent chance of coming back is The King. The others were fired and I don't think the WWF wants them back.
I was just wondering if Triple H and Stephanie are dating in real life? I heard some rumors that Chyna said some things about it.
-- Stephanie Mansfield, Ohio
A: Rumor has it that Triple H and Stephanie are indeed dating each other in real life. Apparently, The Game cheated on Chyna (when they were dating) with The Billion Dollar Princess, and this made Chyna quite upset.
Q.When is women's wrestling in the WWF going to be worth watching? Why don't they let them wrestle just like the guys? You would never see The Rock in a gravy match or any other stupid match like that. Let Lita do her thing. She's purely awesome. One more last thing. I do have to disagree with one of the readers about Stone Cold being part of the next Four Horsemen. That would be so stupid to bring back the Horsemen. If Stone Cold needs a group, put him in the APA, where he belongs. It surely would bring Budweiser's stock to an all-time high, putting the three of them together.
-- James Westbrook Caledonia, Ohio
A: Interesting comments, James. I, too, would like to see the women wrestle more conventional matches on occasion. But I will never complain about a gravy match.
Q. I was wondering, when Triple H comes back, will he join Shane and Stephanie's Alliance, or will he stay with Vince McMahon and the WWF? The same goes for Chris Benoit and Rikishi. I was also wondering what did Grandmaster Sexay do to get fired from the WWF?
-- Ricky Taylor Beaver Falls, Pa.
A. Well, Ricky, I am expecting Triple H to remain with the WWF and feud with either Stone Cold Steve Austin or Chris Jericho (when he turns heel and joins the Alliance). Chris Benoit should stay with the WWF and so should Rikishi, but if any of these guys jump, it might be Rikishi. As for Grandmasta Sexay, he reportedly was caught with drugs in his gym bag entering Canada, so the WWF canned him right away.
Q. Now that the WCW and the WWF have combined, what has happened to the top stars that led the WCW for so many years, such as Sting, Lex Luger, Goldberg and the others? The ones in the new WCW, in my opinion, that came to the WWF are just wannabes.
-- H. Conrad Zanesville, Ohio
A. Most of these wrestlers from the old WCW either retired from wrestling or are sitting on their butts at home, still under their old Time-Warner contracts. Don't expect any of them (other than Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Scott Steiner) to show up in the WWF either.
Q. What's the status on Sid Vicious? Can he ever wrestle again as a result of that broken leg he suffered in the old WCW?
-- Chad Lucas Hope Mills, N.C.
A. Word has it that Vince McMahon has shown interest in Sid, but nobody knows if he'll be able to return to the squared circle. He is still under his Time Warner contract, so it might be a while before we actually know.
First of all, anyone who didn't see coming the takeover of WCW by Vince was not really paying attention to WCW broadcasts. All the signs were there. When WCW brought in Vince Russo, it was the beginning of the end. I would be real interested in seeing Russo's pay stubs for that period, just to find out how much McMahon was paying him for "ser-vices rendered." I truly believe Russo was still covertly working for the WWF, while claiming to be the savior of WCW. Gee, isn't it funny how that worked out in the end? The new version of WCW is just a watered-down version of what it once was ... and that's a real shame.
-- Philip Yost Ellwood City, Pa.
A. Wow, Phillip, I haven't heard that statement before. I'm going to have to disagree with you. Vince Russo was too stubborn to let McMahon run him, and that's why he left, took over WCW and eventually ran it into the ground. That's the reason he isn't back with the WWF today. But you have an interesting theory. What do other readers think?
Q. When Triple H comes back from his injury, will he be a face or a heel? Where will Scott Steiner and Goldberg go?
-- Tyler Thomas Tunnel Hill, Ga.
A. When The Game returns to action, look for him to be a face and feud with either Stone Cold Steve Austin or Test. As for Scott Steiner, as soon as he gets healthy, look for him to appear in the WWF. Goldberg is still under contract with Time Warner and is sitting at home collecting a paycheck. Don't look for him to return to the ring anytime soon.
Q. I was wondering where Jerry The King Lawler was? Whatever happened to Road Dogg? Will any of the old wrestlers such as Kevin Nash from WCW ever return to the ring? -- Clark Gorby
A. Lawler is currently doing some stuff with the new MECW promotion. A comeback to the WWF or WCW hasnt be ruled out yet, but dont hold your breath. Road Dogg was fired from the WWF and is now working indy promotions across America. As for Nash, see the story to the right.
Q. Was just wondering where The Cat Ernest Miller is and will we ever see Dennis Rodman in the WWF? -- Rayy Clark Anderson, Ind.
A. Nobody has really heard from The Cat since the old WCW folded. Hes probably under a Time Warner contract, still receiving a paycheck. Rodman is attempting to make a comeback in basketball, so I HIGHLY doubt we would ever see him in pro wrestling again.
Q. Im wondering when Chris Benoit, Triple H and Rikishi are going to return? These guys are great in the WWF
-- Rayy Clark Anderson, Ind.
A. Chris Benoit is slated for a return sometime in early 2002. Triple H is due back around December and Rikishi any time now, once he loses some weight.
Q.Hi, my name is Dustin. I'm 14 and have watched wrestling for at least 13 years. My problem with the wrestling world today is that there is too much talking and not enough wrestling. Get back to the wrestling!
Dustin Dyer Chatsworth, Ga.
A. Well, Dustin, you're right. Sadly enough, talking and cutting promos have a bigger spot on the show than actual wrestling. Welcome to the new era of sports entertainment.
Q. I have heard that the WWF is thinking of eliminating the women's championship. I really hope they do not go through with that. I think with the signing of Paisley and Trish returning to action soon, the division should really heat up. Also, as Torrie Wilson and Stacey Keibler develop their in-ring skills, the division will be better than ever. Who cares if Chyna is gone? With female competitors like Jackie, Ivory, Lita and Molly, they can easliy make up for Chyna's absence.-- Nick S. Pittsburgh, Pa.
A. I agree, Nick. I don't think that the WWF should get rid of the women's division. Let Molly, Lita, Trish, Victoria (a female competitor in OVW) and even Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley step into the ring and carry on the division.
Q. Whatever happened to Saturn's old tag team partner from ECW, John Kronus? Saturn and Kronus, The Eliminators, were insane and their finishing move was pretty cool: One sweeps back of the legs, the other roundhouse kicks to the face. Once I saw them do this with a guy who was standing sandwiched between two tables. Quite possibily the second most brutal move I've seen. The first would be the Tazzmission suplex through a table that Tazz put on Sabu. Now that I think about it, RVD's Vandaminator may be even better. -- Alan Clarksville, Ind. A. To be honest, I have no idea where John Kronus has been hiding. I know he did some matches in Japan, and he might still be there. Readers, can anybody help Alan out? As for the moves, I like Tazz's the best.
Are we ever going to see The King, The Kat and Grand Masta Sexay in the WWF again? How about Sable? -- Kris Spring Lake, N.C.
A. In the world of pro wrestling, anything is possible. But in my opinion, the only one I think who has a decent chance of coming back is The King. The others were fired and I don't think the WWF wants them back
Q. What other characters has Terry Taylor gone by?
-- David Anderson Lancaster, Ohio
A. Terry Taylor also went under the name of the infamous Red Rooster for a while in the WWF.
Q. Why did Chris Jericho kiss Stephanie? I thought he didn't like her. Was it because he would make her sick to her stomach and she wouldn't get back to ringside to stop the match?
-- Denise Potts LaRue, Ohio
A. For Chris Jericho to do that, it must have been for her not to return to ringside. It had to have been as bad for Y2J as it was for Stephanie.
Q. If you haven't had a chance yet, I highly recommend getting The Dynamite Kid's autobiography, "Pure Dynamite." It's hard to find now, but if you're able to get your hands on it, you won't be disappointed. It's arguably the best wrestling autobiography ever, possibly even better than Foley's book as far as truthful opinions go.
-- Ed Boggess ,Shinnston, W. Va.
A. Thanks for the tip, Ed. As far as wrestling goes, The Dynamite Kid is a star whom most wrestlers today look up to, and they try to duplicate his style. It sounds like a good read to me.
This whole WWF/WCW angle is proving to be somewhat entertaining as the weeks go by. Most wrestling fans have always wanted to see superstars from these two organizations do battle in the same ring, but was this long wait really worth it? The two biggest names in wrestling history have finally combined, but it seems to me like it's the "A-List" WWF stars vs. the "B-List" WCW second-stringers (with the exception of Booker T and a couple of others). When I first heard of the merger/buyout, I could already picture matches featuring the battles of Stone Cold and Goldberg, The Rock and Kevin Nash, Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner. But what happened? Will we ever see the likes of Hall, Nash, the Steiners, Sting, Goldberg, Jeff Jarrett and the other "big names" appear in the WWF/WCW? What about the NWO? Will we ever see another installment of the New World Order? As it seems to me right now, the dream of WWF vs. WCW is far better than the reality.
-- Harold Fields Jr. St. Pauls, N.C.
A. Interesting comments, Harold. It does seem as if we're seeing a lot of the "B" team guys from WCW in the same ring as the "A" team from the WWF. As for the big names you mentioned, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for these guys to show up.
Q. I have two questions for you. Are Triple H and Stephanie really married, and what is going to happen with all the belts? Are they just going to keep them all or unify them? -- Lee Callison
A. Triple H and Stephanie are not married, but have been rumored to be dating. As for the titles, some seem to be unified, like the light heavyweight and cruiser, but who knows about the rest of them.
Q. Why does DDP keep stalking The Undertaker's wife when he already got the crap kicked out of him and already got revenge?
-- Denise Potts
A. That's a good question, Denise. I don't know why he keeps doing it, but it just doesn't seem like DDP to me. What does his wife, Kimberly, think of all this? There's the real question.
Q. Maybe you can help me end an argument between some of us guys. Is "Smackdown!" live on television Thursday nights, or is it taped on Tuesday nights and then aired on Thursdays? Has it ever been live? Is "RAW" live? Thanks for your assistance in the matter.
-- Alan S. Nabours Lumberton, N.C.
A. Well, Alan, "Smackdown!" is taped on Tuesday nights and then aired on Thursday. There have been times where "Smackdown!" has been live, but generally, they are taped. As for "RAW," it comes to you live every week.
Vince McMahon is killing wrestling. His father is looking down from heaven in disgust. He has some of the best talent -- ECW talent with the likes of Mike Awesome, Lance Storm, Justin Credible. He even has Tajiri and old ECW guys like Perry Saturn. And what does he do with these guys? Absolutely nothing. Besides pushing Chris Jericho, Vince only pushes the broken-down old farts like Austin and Undertaker. I even heard a rumor of him bringing back Hogan. God save us all. Long live ECW.
-- Tom Davis Mansfield, Ohio
A: I agree with you totally, Tom. Vince has the deepest roster of talent ever, and guys like Awesome, Tazz and Saturn are underused. Let's hope Vince gets his act together and starts using some of his vast pool of talent.
Q.. I've been a fan of wrestling/ sports entertainment for
over 20 years. In this time I have anticipated a lot of
things. One was the battle between the two biggest feds ever.
WWF vs. WCW/ECW could have been the greatest battle of
all time, but it won't be. The pre- WWF WCW matches have
killed the excitement. We've already seen WCW champion Booker
T lose twice to both Jericho and Angle. Not to mention that
the inaugural five-man team of ECW/WCW sucks! Booker T, The
Dudleyz, DDP and Rhyno. This roster alone for that match
should let you know that if this is the best they can do,
then they are screwed.
So my questions are simple...
1. Where is all the WCW talent? (Nash, Big Poppa Pump, Sting,
Luger, Jeff Jarrett, Rey Jr., and Goldberg, to name a few.)
2. Who lost their minds and thought that the ECW coming back
would make this more intense?
3. How in the heck does Barry Windham make the top 10, and
who is TCW? (Come on, he's the former BlackJack, The Stalker,
The Widowmaker! He sucks no matter what fed or title he holds.)
-- Ernest Jonson
North Carolina
A.Pretty intering there Ernest, but I think you're wrong though.
The "Raw" where ECW re-formed and
joined WCW was probably the best night in sports entertainment
history, without a doubt. The three major promotions, all
back, all battling. Nothing in professional wrestling is
bigger than that.
As for your questions, here we go: All the guys you named from
WCW are the older wrestlers, who have retired, are asking too
much money or are still under contract to the former WCW owner
Time Warner. Don't expect to see them anytime soon.
Also, I believe the ECW formation was great. See my column to
the right for the reasons. And last, Barry Windham is the TCW
(Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling, run by Dusty Rhodes). He's
still a solid performer, and one of the best hands in the
business, period.
Q. I had a few questions I wanted to ask about wrestling and hoped you could answer them. I read your section every week, and I enjoy it. I have been a fan of wrestling since the late '70s. Are Kevin Nash and Scott Hall coming to WWF? I saw at the top of the Squared Circle that Elix Skipper and some other WCW cruiserweights are coming to WWF. Who will they be? -- Woody Glosser Zanesville, Ohio A. Thanks for the e-mail, Woody. Look for Kevin Nash to jump to the WWF when his Time Warner contract expires, which is around March. As for Scott Hall, who knows, but keep your eyes open for him. As for the other WCW cruiserweights appearing, look for Skipper, Shannon Moore, Kaz Hayashi, Mike Sanders, Reno and maybe even some others.
Q. I just wanted to know about the tag team Kronik. Will
they be airing on any WWF shows anytime soon or will they
still be in the new WCW lineup?
-- Josh Pinto
Salem, W. Va.
A. Last time I heard, Kronik wasn't signed to either WWF or
WCW contracts. So don't expect Adams or Clark to appear
anytime soon.
Q. Is Mick Foley supposed to come back to the WWF?
-- Ryan Shirley
Caledonia, Ohio
A. Rumor has it that Mick could come back to face William
Regal at Summerslam for the commissionership. Stay tuned!
Q. Will Tazz ever wrestle again? Or is he becoming an
announcer? Is Ken Shamrock ever coming back?
-- A. Johnson
Kokomo, Ind.
A. Tazz should be seeing some more ring time, as the WWF is
happy with his job on MTV's "Tuff Enough" show. As for
Shamrock, that's a good question. I don't think anybody but
Ken knows the answer.
Q. I love what you do for the wrestling fans every Monday
in the papers. I mean, I can't get enough of this. Second,
keep up the good work . OK, I'll get to my point. In the
paper I get on Friday, there was a hint that Scott Steiner
is the man who's stalking The Undertaker's wife. Now I don't
know if it's true, but I'm seriously thinking that Steiner
is the one who is doing the stalking.
-- Dustin Dyer Chatsworth, Ga.
A. Well, Dustin, we were both wrong. I picked Paul Bearer,
and in truth Diamond Dallas Page was revealed as the stalker.
Thanks for the comments!
Q. In a previous issue you said that Ken Shamrock will be
coming back before the February PPV and he didn't. Why didnt
he? Will he ever come back? And about this new WCW. Is there
a date set for when it will be back on TV? I really enjoyed
watching it and WWF also.
-- Joe Smart
Ambridge, Pa.
A. Well, Joe, only Ken Shamrock knows what Ken Shamrock is
going to do next. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
As for the WCW relaunch, it will happen, but who knows when.
Some in the next couple of weeks, some have it in September.
Just stay tuned!
Q.Will WCW actually stay two different companies?
-- Matt McDonald from Norfolk, Neb.
A.Until WCW can get a decent television deal, it will be
part of WWF programming. When it does get a TV deal, it will
be run as its own company.
Q. I heard that the WWF might put my favorite wrestler of
all time, Stone Cold Steve Austin, in a "homosexual" angle.
I don't know if this is true or not. Have you heard anything
about this?
I really want to know if this is true or not. I think it
could hurt the product. I hope it doesn't happen.
--Michael Manganello from Clarksburg, W. Va.
A. That's the first I have heard of a possible Stone Cold
angle change. But I wouldn't bet money that they would
change Austin's gimmick, especially to one of that nature.
Q.When will Sting, Goldberg and Hulk Hogan return to WCW?
--Scott Stemn Hebron, Ohio
A. When the new ownership of WCW kicks in, look for all of
these guys to reappear.
Q. Are the Undertaker and Kane going to stay together? I have
heard that 'Taker is going back to The Lord of Darkness!
--Jason Lamb
A.Right now, it looks as if they will stay together, but it
is the WWF, and anything can happen. They both will wrestle
as singles as well. As for the Lord of Darkness gimmick,
stay tuned!
Q. When/where is Hulk Hogan, my immortal idol, coming back?
I grew up in the '80s. I've been watching "Nitro"/"Thunder"
for some time now and Hogan hasn't come back. --John Millisor
Mount Gilead, Ohio
A.Well actually noone really knows when since wcw has taken a new owner.
Q. Is Kane really burned? Is Deborah married to Stone Cold in
real life?
-- Samantha Ferguson
Fay, N.C.
A. No, Glenn Jacobs (Kane) is not burned. It's simply a
storyline. Yes, Deborah and Steve Austin tied the knot
recently and live in Texas.
Q. I've been a wrestling fan since Shawn Michaels started
and I have followed his career, and I was wondering what
role will he have in the WWF? I've heard he was going to be
a manager. Is this true?
-- Michael Perman
Shelby, Ohio
A. Nobody knows for sure what HBK will be doing for the WWF.
Keep your eyes glued to the set. He's bound to show up
anytime, anywhere.
Q. I've been a huge wrestling fan my whole life, but never
in my wildest imagination did I ever think that Vince McMahon
would buy WCW. This is without a doubt the biggest news ever
to hit sports entertainment. This will change the world of
wrestling as we know it. Dream matches will be made, but then
again we may never see some wrestlers again, such as Jeff
Jarrett or the one-time Golddust, because of their past
relations with the WWF. Some careers may never get the
exposure that they would've gotten in WCW or even ECW, now
that they are all one and the same, basically. Nonetheless,
this is exactly what WCW needs to become a top player again.
Who would've thought it would be Vinny Mac who would be
helping them get there?
-- Mike GeorgeRandolph, Mass.
A. Good points, Mike. It's going to be interesting to see
what happens with the whole situation now. Once again, stay
tuned, folks. Anything can happen!
Q. when will we know which wrestlers will come over
from WCW?
-- Lindsey C. Kokomo, IN
A. The WWF has already signed some wrestlers, and more are
expected to be announced soon. Keep your ears and eyes open.
Q. I would like to know who is making the voice that keeps
on spying on The Undertaker and his wife, Sarah?
-- Brian Basinger from Marion, Ohio
A. Hard to say right now. Rumors have it being Paul Bearer,
Kane, Shawn Michaels, Vince McMahon and even Rhyno. My money
is on Paul Bearer.
Q. Did Triple H really hurt his leg or was it for show?
-- Aaron Webb from Vicksburg, Miss.
A. His injury is for real (a torn quadricep) and he will
be out for around four to six months.
Q. Which wrestler had the WWF title belt when the WWF
first started?
-- Michael Cross from St . Louis
A. The first person to hold the belt was Bruno Sammartino,
when the federation was known as the WWWF.
Q. I am trying to get videos of wrestling stars like Bill
Watts, Killer Karl Cox, Mr. Wrestling II, etc. Please help
me.
-- Michael Johnson from Hermanville, Ms.
A. Try getting on eBay and looking. That's where I bought
most of mine.
Q. I've read in some wrestling magazines that my favorite
wrestler of all time, Shawn Michaels, is going to make a
comeback to the WWF and start wrestling again. Is it true?
If so, when? I hope very soon.
-- J.D. Mount Vernon, Ohio
A. Shawn Michaels was scheduled to appear back on TV two
months ago, but walked out of the show. The WWF does have
plans to bring him back, but when and where still remains a
mystery.
Q. I think it's appalling that Molly Holly is receiving
pressure from management to work on her figure. Personally,
I think she's the only normal-looking one out of all the
women. Everybody is fake these days. There is more plastic
in wrestling than there is in a plastics factory. These
women look very odd and, might I add, very trampy. Why
don't they just run around naked, because they sure don't
leave much to the imagination.
The WWF needs to get some class and throw out the trash. We
wonder why so many girls are ending up pregnant at 12 and 13.
Look at the role models they have. It makes them think that
all men like cheap trashy women. It's a shame women have to
worry so much about their appearence. Women need to accept
the way they were born and quit trying to see who can have
the biggest breasts.
-- Robyn Wygant Nevada, Ohio
A. Good call, Robyn. I think Molly looks the best of them
all too. Just leave her alone!
Q. I am a big wrestling fan and I was wondering why The Rock
got suspended? What did he do? I watch wrestling every Monday
and Thursday night, and without him, it's kind of boring not
being able to watch our People's Champ have a match. So when
is he making it back to the WWF?
-- Lindsay Pittsburgh
A. The Rock was "suspended" so he could go and make movies,
like the "Scorpion King," due out sometime in summer. Look
for him to return to WWF TV soon, although not as a wrestler.
That will be around Summerslam sometime.
Q. I thought the tag team title match on the May 21 "Raw"
was one of the best matches in a long time.What did you
think? -- Josh W. Va.
A. To tell you the truth, Josh, I thought it was a darn good
match. Although Triple H was injured during the match, it
doesn't overshadow the fact that Chris Benoit and Chris
Jericho are a great tag team. Readers, what do you think
of the new tag team champions?
Q:When will we see Road Dogg back in the ring?
-- Jamar Blue North Carolina
A: Don't expect to see Road Dogg back in a WWF ring anytime soon. He is currently touring the indy scene around the country, so you might see him in a gym near you
Q. Is there any news on Hulk Hogan returning? I read in the paper that he may have a Wrestlemania appearance. What about Kevin Nash? Any chance he's going to be on "RAW" or "Smackdown!" anytime soon? I miss him in action.
-- Jeremy Pittsburgh, Pa.
A: There have been rumors that Hogan may make a Wrestlemania appearance. Keep your eyes peeled. As for Nash, don't look for him to do anything until early 2002.
Q. When will we see Bull Buchanan, Val Venis or the GoodFather?
-- Ricky Taylor
A: When the writing team has some new gimmicks for them, look for the trio to return. I say around early 2002.
I am an avid reader of your articles on your site.. I enjoy them very much. I am also a retired female wrestler. During my career, I wrestled for WCCW and also worked as a female trainer for the short-lived UWF Training Center in Fort Worth,Texas. During that time, I met a lot of really great people in the business. It is great to see them performing for sold-out crowds in Madison Square Garden or headlining pay-per-view shows today. I have numerous posters and videotapes from those days. My kids enjoy watching them with me. (I wouldn't trade them (my kids) for any title belt in the world.) Thanks for providing such great and interesting wrestling material.
-- S. Davisson (The Blue Angel)
A: Thanks for the e-mail. I love hearing from ex-wrestlers the most which makes me feel proud , or others who have been involved in the business. If anybody else has any interesting stories, drop me a line at tomkerrj@yahoo.com
