He did a decent job. I definately liked his ribs on King. The best parts were when he ripped King and JR was, get this, SILENT! That's the best. - naidO nWN Founder - http://www.geocities.com/naidosnews ______________________________________________________________________ [TOP NEWS STORY] **The first edition of "Raw is Heyman" last night was indeed an interesting one. At this time however, it is not known if his pairing with Jim Ross will be a brief one, or if Heyman will hang around in the spot "full time". Heyman prefers not to be an announcer but will do whatever is asked of him by the WWF. (Dave Scherer) ______________________________________________________________________ [News from The WWF] **WWF Superstar Val Venis has gotten attention for his Libertarian political views. A short article was done on him in the March 2001 LP News, the official monthly newspaper of the Libertarian Party. The article talked of his political aspirations such as building a Canadian Libertarian Party, how he came in with the porn star gimmick then joining the RTC, and how he loved to talk politics, and debate with other wrestlers backstage. The article then gave several quotes of his which originally appeared in the Canadian Newspaper The Queen's University Journal, on January 16. **Non-Raw stuff from Washington, DC: DARK - Scott Vick & Steve Bradley b Haas Brothers - Rhino b Bo Dupp - Rhino got a good reaction - Qeenaan Creed b ? (someone named Tony possibly) METAL/JAKKED - X-Pac & Justin Credible b Kaientai - Raven b Crash Holly (Crash got a big pop, not a good match) - Essa Rios b Gregory Martin - Billy Gunn b J.R. Ryder **TSN in Canada thought the Trish/Mcmahon segment was a little much last night so they cut the whole thing from their midnight showing of RAW. (Cred: ultimo, 1wrestling) _______________ [News from WCW] **Added to the Greed PPV on 3/18 was Booker T vs. Rick Steiner for the U.S. title and Dustin Rhodes vs. Jeff Jarrett was turned into a tag with Ric Flair back in the ring against Dusty Rhodes. I'm presuming Hugh Morrus, originally scheduled for Steiner, will be moved into a tag team with Konnan against Mike Awesome & Lance Storm (the former slot for Kronik, who are both being iced with Brian Adams out for two months). **Sting will be returning in around 2 months after recently undergoing surgery to repair his injured elbow. **Goldberg will be returning around May or June after recovering from a shoulder operation. **Buff Bagwell didn't wrestle on Thunder last night due to a sore neck. At this time there is no news on how serious the injury is. (Cred: the law, ultimo) _______________ [News from ECW] **Most within ECW are now waiting for the official call of the folding of the company. It's no longer a question of if, but when, and when it comes to when, it's which day and not which week. **There is a brand new Dawn Marie Calendar on sale!
