Two "Exclusive" matches.  One match was taped last Monday at the RAW
taping (Yokozima v. Jim Powers) and has been described in detail elsewhere.  
Short description: zide zuplex, whip into corner, banzai zplash, zecond
rope zitdown.  Zomething different!

Sean Mooney and Lord Alfred Hayes provided commentary and from his tone,
Hayes seems to be pissed at this dramatic downsizing of his chances to
provide commentary.

The other exclusive was a match between *EL* Matador and Wild Bill Irwin.
Irwin looked familiar, but I couldn't place him until I heard Hayes comment
along the lines of "I've watched this young upstart Wild Bill before in Texas,
specifically Dallas..." AHA! I said, he was one of those GWF guys I used
to religiously watch.

So, what's his story?  Tryout?  New addition?  Jobber?  Or superstar?  The
match was back and forth but ended up a showcase for el punch de el head (I
owe whoever came up with that).  Should I expect to ever see him again?  And
will it be with the same persona?

Enough questions, I'm getting itchy for the Rumble Royale.  If you're going,
and some guy in a blazer walks up to you and hands you a toothpick, it's me.
Oh yeah, and I'll have the "BRING BACK KATO" sign, and something praising
Barry Horowitz.  I'm also going to the San Jose taping, and try to come back
with a good story.
