Billionaire Ted's Wrasslin' Warroom

For those of you out there, if any, who have watched the WWF lately have
probably noticed Billionaire Ted's Wrasslin' Warroom.  For those of you who
have no idea what it is, it is a skit everyweek starring Billionaire Ted
(impersonation of Ted Turner, really good one too) and others from the WCW
who basically try to steal things from the WWF (moves, ideas, etc...).  But
now, Eric "I don't know how to run a wrasslin' organization" Bischoff has
threatened legal action against the WWF for these skits, but they aren't
scared one bit!  Other people from the warroom are the Huckster (imitation
of Hulk Hogan being really really old) and the Nacho Man (Macho Man as a
really old guy).  If you've never seen it, I believe that they'll have another
one this Monday night on WWF Monday Night RAW.  Watch it, it's great!

I didn't know that there was a wrestling forum on this system.  I think that
Bret Hart joining the nWo is the biggest sham that this city boy has ever
seen.  And believe me, I've seen a lot of them.  I'm not exactly sure what
made him leave the WWF but I hope he isn't pissed off enough to join that
sorry bunch of losers known as the nWo.  That would be the biggest mistake
of his LIFE let alone his career.  Email me if you have any further thoughts.

 Truth be told, I think the WWF, and thier ilk are the biggest shams I've seen
in a long time.

Ive followed wrestling, I admit, since I was  a kid.  Wreaslting, (rasslin
actually) is really just a form of performance art.  A soap opera that is
sometimes better than most real soap operas.  And 
Case in point, Twister mentioned Brett Hart.  Until last Sunday, the WWF
World champion and one of the top talents in the business.  He defected to
the rival WCW, (Ted Turner's wrestling company) for $3 million a year.
Problem is, Hart had one match left, his long awaited grudge rematch
against Shawn MichaelsEuropean champion Shawn Michaels.  These two hate
each other and neither will agree to lose to the other.  So they agree to 
have a double DQ where the ref gets knocked out.

Enter Vince McMahon, the owner of the WWF, who is insisting that Hart
lose the title, so he cant go on Turner's WCW TV program ho9lding the WWF 
world belt.  Hart refuses.  So McMahon decides he has to double cross
Hart, his champion of the last few years.  The match is supposed to end
with a double dq when the ref gets "knocked out".  But lo and behold,
McMahon comes out to ringside right when the ref bump is to occur, and
once the ref is knocked down, orders him to get back up and call for the
bell.  That isnt in the script!  Hart is furious.  Shawn Michaels music
plays and he is announced as the "new champion.  Michaels runs down the
aisle with the belt like a thief.  Hart spits in McMahon's face and goes
beserk, tearing up tv equipment, as the tv broadcast ends abruptly
fifteen minutes early (the script called for a thirty two minutes match
but it ended at McMahon's order after seventeen)

Cut to the locker room, where Hart confronts referee Earl Hebner, in
reality one of his best friends in the world, who has actually and in
truth just betrayed him by helping McMahon screw him out of the world
title.  Tears and recriminations and accusations go back and forth.
Hebner flees the arena, fearing for his own safety.  Hart confronts
Michaels who swears he didnt now the fixx was in.  Finally Hart confronts
McMahon, his boss and the promoter, and has to berestrained from beating
the holy hell out of him.  But Hart is strong and breaks out of the
restrainers arms and *does* beat holy hell out of McMahon, KO'ing him and
fracturing his jaw with a series of punches. Vince McMahon is carried out
on a stretcher and taken to the hospital.

Cut to the next night on live TV, on the WCW show, wrestling's "other"
world champion-- the immortal Hollywood Hulk Hogan of course-- walks down
the ailse to "Oh Canada", carrying a canadian flag, and anouncing that
Hart, canada's greatest wrestler, is joining that circuit.  ON the WWF's
show last night, a badly beaten and bruised Vince McMahon is interviewed
saying he hasnt decided whether to press charges and that Hart should have
been man enough to lose the title if he was leaving the company, rather
than have forced him to try and take it from him.

Just another week in As Wrestling Turns...and this week, as is sometimes
the case, the action was real, not rehearsed.  And whether it is real or
rehearsed, it is still part of the show in the end.  That's what rasslin
is all about.
