Unbelievable is the word right now. How can WWF not lock up their writing and backstage staff? They just lost their WWF and RAW magazine editor Bill Banks, I’m not exactly sure what Bruce Mitchell’s position is, but I have heard some rumors he has resigned as well, to go to WCW like Banks. Then the shocker of the week. Jeff Jarrett does not resign with the WWF. How unbelievably dumb. How can he even think he is going to get a chance in WCW again? He has failed before and will fail again? Look what happened with him last time. He got all caught up in a feud with Steve McMichael, over Debra. After getting Debra, and turning heel, he basically jobbed his way out of WCW, since he couldn’t catch a break. What amazes me is, Vince Russo has tried for the past two years to get Jarrett over, and only accomplished that with the "puppies" by his side, then he lost his meal ticket, and turned totally heel, beating on women. Only time he has actually lit a crowd on fire. That was WWF television, a lot of bending the rules, stepping across the line in the WWF, but what will Vince Russo be able to do with him on WCW television? Just for the record, anybody notice if a wrestler swears on WCW television, you read a post on the internet after saying he’s in hot water, or WCW has been asked to tone it’s product down, yet nearly every Hogan interview involves him repeatedly saying he’s going to kick *insert name*’s ass? Like a broken record. Nothing is said after words. What will Jarrett do when he is not allowed to curse, or use cheap hit by beating on woman, or actually I doubt he’ll even get mic time. What will Russo do? Bring back the good ol’ country singing superstar? That’s J-E-Double F, J-A-Double R-E-Double T. The greatest singer, the greatest wrestler, and the greatest performer in the whole….world. I just don’t see Jarrett’s logic behind going ahead and signing with WCW. The reason supposedly of leaving the WWF, is he is upset at the refusal of Steve Austin, to wrestle him a few months back. Is that really worth, a high mid card spot, the next thing to Main event, and a developed persona? I guess so, in Jarrett’s eyes. It’ll be interesting to see what WCW does with him. Maybe he can join up with the Red Necks and sing duets with Curt Hennig? Another scary thing about all this is. In today’s ROSS REPORT, Jim Ross reported, Mideon has signed a one year deal with the WWF. So, they can lock up a low-card jobber, but not a next to main event heel? Heels, something the WWF is really lacking. Seems the only legit heel is Triple H, who I think is doing awesome job as the top heel in the federation. But, when was the last time you saw a heel, get squashed so badly by the face, in this case Austin. Seems they’re afraid to even let Triple H crack a smile over Austin. Is the WWF that afraid of Austin’s face pop going down the toilet? 

I finally got to catch RAW and Nitro for the first time in a long time. Here in Canada, TSN has been busy airing the Major League Baseball play off’s, which is all fine and good, but when you have 162 games from every team, on multiple channels, and there is only one RAW per week, and only four RAW’s and Nitro’s a month, you’d think they could make an effort to air them at the time designated for them in the past years. Anyway, I really do not know where WCW is going with the Revolution. The gimmick is useless with out Benoit and Malenko. Saturn and Douglas are just not enough to carry this group.  The whole show was basically built around this group, and it really bombed. The main event was no stellar either. Good team of Benoit and Hart, but bad opponents for this duo to work against. Would have been if it was something like Benoit/Hart Vs. DDP/Kanyon. 

RAW was WAR just turned into the WWF Animal Hospital. They really never explained why the Bull Dogs where out back. If they did, I missed it. They couldn’t have been the Rock’s since he hadn’t shown up, and dogs were shown before hand. When the Rock, rockbottomed Bull Dog into the crap, I was in shock. I could not believe the WWF would go that far. That was totally sick. But in the same though, totally insane and hilarious. One quote that has came back to be the truth, and has actually happened is Bret Hart’s quote from his column a few weeks back about the Bull Dog’s wrestling return. A dog rolling around in it’s own "crap", in a better word. I wonder what Bull Dog’s thoughts where when he first heard, he was going to be basically dropped a platter of crap, and then humiliated. 

 Now on, TNN tonight we saw finally saw the return of Chris Candido. This was my first chance, at seeing a Candido match, other than his stints in WWF as Skip. I have seen clips of him, but not an actual complete match. Although this match wasn’t top quality, it was still a great showing by both guys involved. For some reason, I can sit through most WCW matches, if it’s there’s a wrestler I enjoy or at least interests me some bit, I can watch nearly all WWF matches, except for when I see a match at a pay-per-view, and then the next night they have a rematch, and the match on RAW, is just a sloppy performance of the two wrestlers involved. But with ECW wrestling matches, I am glued to the tv watching, I don’t know if it’s because I’m still getting into the ECW atmosphere, or if it’s because the performers are just that good. I guess I will find out in late December when I have had the chance to watch ECW for a good four to five months. Then I’ll see if it’s just the new atmosphere or if it’s legitimately the workers. I’ll admit, some of the stuff they do, is simply astonishing. Like the Awesome bomb through a table to the outside. Or seeing a 6’6 leap over the top and crash down to the floor. Or hard swinging chair shots. Hard as can be cane shots and more. 

Thanks for reading today’s issue. I’ll be back this coming Monday with more happenings in the wrestling world to talk about, plus a review of Heat and the pay-per-view, WWF No Mercy.
