Wayne, I like the martial arts, too, but I am not convinced that all of the matches are shoots. Some of the latest results reek of a promoter's dream. And with one man, Dana White, owning both Pride and UFC now, it is very possible they are works. The last one on t.v., where one guy tapped out, but the other guy had already knocked himself out with the slam, really looked suspicious. And the heavyweight championship, where champ Tim Silvia did absolutely nothing after years of dominating with aggressiveness, looked like it had "multi million dollar rematch" in bright letters around its borders.

I didn't realize that Benoit's wife was "Woman" from the old WCW. She was a star in her own right. And, she used to be married to Kevin Sullivan, my old workout partner and mentor. However, when I knew Kevin (late 1970s) he was married to another woman who's name I don't remember. All I remember is that she was a babe and Nancy "Woman" was a babe, so, ugly old Kevin did o.k. for himself. There was a great skit in WCW where the muscular, talented (former wrestling All American at U. of Michigan) and not-too-bright Rick Steiner fell for a fan. The fan was supposedly an innocent girl in pigtails with big glasses and carrying a teddy bear. They had a couple of dates, which were like a 6th grade social, and the cameras followed. Then, the girl they called Robin, showed up in leather with tall black boots, no glasses or pigtails and carrying a whip, calling herself Woman. She lured Rick to a secluded place where Kevin and his pals beat the crap out of him. It was a fun, silly skit. I lost track of her after I started my real jobs and didn't watch wrestling very much on tv. It is sad that anyone is murdered, but putting a face on the corpse makes it feel sadder.
