I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. Anyway, I know you can try to satisfy yourself by gleaning what meager RAW news you can from what these other hacks write, but I figure hell, I can do a hack job too, if I want, as long as I make it up to you next week. The show came once again from Bushkill, which seemed weird since last week's show was taped in Poughkeepsie. The last Bushkill taping was 31.1. How's THAT for moldy? Yokozuna and Randy Savage had a surprisingly good match, up until the completely pointless and predictable "Crush-robs-Savage-of-the-threepeat" ending. The save is made by both Bret Hart and Lex Luger. Bam Bam Bigelow squashed some guy. Luna Tunes is wearing a Doink T-shirt with the international "No" sign written over it. You know, that circle with the line through it. My cable company saw fit to interrupt this match with two commercials. Kwang squashed some guy. Harvey Wippleman, color commentator of the week, left the table to manage, so Vince had a fairly funny interview with Sy Sperling (hint: Vince had no laughs). Earthquake squashed some guy...I think it was the Dark Phantom (ooooo!). Vince and Harvey announced that Ludvig B0rga, still out due to injury will be replaced by Adam Bomb as 'Quake's opponent. And you were worried you wouldn't get to see Harvey at WMX. I might add that Harvey, who apparently is the vice-mayor of Wells, Mississippi, did not once mention the lack of an H in his last name. To pad out the show we were treated to a replay of the Savage/Yokozuna match ending RIGHT after the ad break following the match. Why? Why? Why? Also padding out the show, Stan Lane did a locker room interview with Shawn Michaels. Hype. Says he's giving the bogus IC belt to Diesel after he wins the ladder match. Anything else? Oh yeah, on "All-American" Helen Hart said she wasn't sure if she'd be at WMX, but that Bruce definitely would. Listen, if knowing Harvey Wippleman is going to be there doesn't make you wanna pick up that phone and order, then Bruce Hart has gotta make you move. Also, on "WWF Mania," Oscar proves he raps a lot better when he has Mabel doing a beatbox behind him. Next week: Crush & Owen Hart vs. the Smoking Scotsmen, Jedoublef Jadoubleredoublet vs. Virgil (Virgilmania's running wild!), and some squashes I can't remember. If you really want the one year ago report, email me and I"ll look it up. Later. I'm going back to bed. Thank God after deleting all the Evan articles, there's nothing left for me to catch up on.
