Don, I guess that answers, or at least explains, two of the questions that have plagued me for so long: 1. Why does Hacksaw Jim Duggan walk to the ring with an American flag and lead the crowd in a rousing chant of "USA, USA" when his opponent is from Ohio? 2. Why did WCW ban the word "foreign" from its broadcasts? It got so bad at one time that when a wrestler pulled brass knuckles out of his trunks, the announcer said, "He has taken some sort of international object out of his pants." That is funny, but it really happened. All of the announcers were under orders to substitute international for foreign in every circumstance. <g>
