JR said he was pretty sure they got the tape, but he would double check. He said if they got it, he would make sure the writers get the tape. JR said they would get back to him in about 10 days. - Chris Krueger, who came out with Bilvis Wesley, was sent to the hospital tonight after his head was split open by a Balls Mahoney chairshot. The cut was pretty nasty. - They shot the injury angle with Nova presumably because he is scheduled to go back to the doctor concerning his eardrum injury after the first of the year. He will find out them if he will need surgery or not.

Crippled by an arctic blast, and tons of snow, I have been forced out of my collapsed home and into a makeshift snow fort. With only my TV, some Yoo-Hoo, and Twinkies for sustinence, I start to question my own existence, and ask that for Christmas, all I get are four walls and some indoor plumbing. But then again, this is the holiday season, and it's supposed to be a time of giving, so what could we give the stars of wrestling? To Stephanie McMahon: Power of Attorney To Scott Steiner: A clean urine sample To Mick Foley: A new flannel shirt; retire that thing, will ya? To the Dudley Boys: A $1000.00 gift card to the lumber dept. at Home Depot To the Cat: A night out with James Brown in Las Vegas, and an unlimited bankroll To Chris Benoit: His one front tooth (Sorry Y2J) To the bookers at WCW: A clue To Steven Richards: A library bound set of "Politically Correct Christmas Stories" To Trish Stratus: A gift certificate for Fredericks of Hollywood (Wait a minute; that would make me happy) To Rulon Gardner: Kurt Angle...Alone...In a room (Add sound effect of fist smacking palm) To Stone Cold: Partnership in brewery of his choice To Lex Luger: A life To Jindrak and O'Hare: A chance to be on their own so they don't have to be towel boys for the Perfect Losers. To Paul Heyman: Another solid year despite all odds being against him To Perry Saturn: Lasik surgery (I don't know if it'll help, but hey, I'm game) To Jerry Lawler: All the puppies he can stand To Vince McMahon: Torrie Wilson-McMahon? To Crash Holly: A day at the amusement park where the 48" height requirement is waived To Ric Flair and Mick Foley: The good sense to stay out of the ring To Hulk Hogan: The good sense to never come back To Kevin Nash and DDP: A pink slip To All Wrestling Fans: Less pay-per-views, cheaper pay-per-views, and more quality matches and stories (Ok, the cold must be making me delirious; we know that would NEVER happen. at least not all three.) Anyway, I want to wish all of the readers, columists, and editors a very happy and healthy holiday season. And may your 2001 be a great year. Got to go...Santa just caved in my igloo. VILE'S TOTALLY ANAL TRIVIA: Congratulations to Theron Scranton and Y2J Liontamer who identified all the Midnight Express members. "Loverboy" Dennis Condrey, "Ravisihing" Randy Rose, "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, "Sweet" Stan Lane, "Bombastic" Bob Holly, and "Bodacious" Bart Gunn. This week's question: The world title has never changed hands on Christmas Day. However, it has changed on December 26th: ONCE. Name the year, the title, and the man that won the strap.
