Looks like our favorite male escort Buff Bagwell got arrested in Atlanta a few days ago but I can't seem to find what he was arrested for.

There is a lot of interesting stuff in the new back issue, from 4/21/97: First we'll venture into the Up North section: quote:A one hour documentary on the life of Bret Hart was among the television shows being sold at a Canadian TV conference in Toronto last week. Yeah like a doc on Butt Fart will be any good. quote:Despite rumors Disco Inferno is putting out, Titan sources claim there has been no talks with him. The idea of Disco in the WWF is just weird. I'm just going to quote the whole Nitro review because it is all insane. quote:Nitro on 4/14 from Philadelphia opened with two matches taped for broadcast later in the week. Joe Gomez & Ice Train beat Devon Storm & Ace Darling as "The Extreme" in a match most notable for the debut of Kimona as a valet. Kimona didn't do much or get over. Nobody was clear whether or not they called her by the name Kimona but she wasn't given a different name. Madusa beat Luna Vachon via DQ in a short match. Then the live show began with them saying that Lex Luger wanted his title shot against Hulk Hogan on the show, but since Hogan wasn't there, Kevin Nash stepped in. Chris Benoit pinned Barbarian in 2:36 of a match with great heat. Afterwards, the entire Dungeon of Doom destroyed Benoit until Jeff Jarrett and Steve McMichael made the save. Dean Malenko kept the U.S. title beating Hector Guerrero in 2:53. Guerrero, 40, really looked his age and then some, nothing like he did several months back when he came to Nitro and shocked everyone. He didn't show much so the match was nowhere close to what it could have been. Eddie Guerrero, arm still in a sling, confronted Malenko after the match. Rey Misterio Jr. pinned Juventud Guerrera in 3:24. The more these guys are treated like jobbers, the more they wrestle like jobbers. This was the worst singles match I've ever seen these two have. Crowd was dead and lots of missed moves, although the finishing springboard huracanrana was out of this world. Luna Vachon did an interview that made no sense (I think that's company policy nowadays). She talked about taking the womens title belt from Madusa. Of course Madusa doesn't hold that belt, Akira Hokuto does, but with the communication within this company, I don't blame her for the mistake. I do blame the announcers for never acknowledging the interview and correcting the mistake the rest of the show. Ultimo Dragon retained the TV title beating Lane Carlson (Minnesota indie wrestler Lenny Lane who has worked Michinoku Pro and did a few dates in February for ECW) in 3:45 with a Tiger suplex (called a Dragon suplex by Tony Schiavone, who has now only had a year to figure out the difference). Carlson must be pretty bad because it's the first time a Dragon match has been this sloppy. Syxx beat Prince Iaukea in 5:42 with a chicken wing crossface, which he's calling the buzzkiller (**3/4). It was the best match on either show Monday night which says something for Syxx since some very good workers haven't been able to get that much out of the Prince. Ric Flair, Kevin Greene and Roddy Piper did an interview. This was most interesting. To translate into reality, what they said stems from a meeting a week earlier where Kevin Nash, Bischoff, Flair and Piper were together to talk about problems with the Charlotte main event. Since Hogan doesn't want to do the PPV, Flair and Piper didn't want Syxx as the sub in the main event feeling with a star like Greene involved, that Syxx wasn't a big enough pro wrestling name from a main event credibility standpoint to be in such a main event position. Nash argued that given the "talent" in the match, that Syxx would be the only one who could make the match and pretty much insulted the current age and condition of Flair and Piper in doing so and called Flair a comedy act. It wound up with Flair and Piper feeling that Nash had no respect for who they were in the business and what they'd accomplished and what they'd gone through in the old days to get there. There is still considerable heat from the Uncensored PPV when Nash cut off Piper and wouldn't sell for him with the feeling that Nash didn't respect Piper's status as a legend, although Nash's side is apparently that he was setting Piper up for a spot where he would sell for him but Piper couldn't improvise and instead began doing spots with Savage, who he trusted to make him look good. And of course Nash felt that Flair and Piper had no respect for the current stars as stars and felt the only real stars were the guys from their generation. So that explains the interview. No doubt you can figure Flair is frustrated when the company he saved (make no mistake about it, without Flair, Turner never would have bought out Crockett and the company would have been out of business completely by the end of 1989) and carried is paying more money to Nash than to him, but that's the reality of being in the right place at the right time. You can also say time marches on, but the reality is that Flair is probably more over now than he's been in years. Piper ranted and raved and made no sense, although he's been overexposed on television of late to the point that a lot of people are now picking up on it and he may be on the verge of losing steam in a hurry. Piper was so (frustrated, mad, screwed up, take your pick) that he couldn't even say Piper's Pit or make sense trying to get over his history. Greene chimed in about rookies who make big money that don't want to work hard, start practice early, stay late or study game films, so they obviously got him fired up about "young guys" with no respect for veterans, although Nash is like 38 years old so he's hardly a rookie. And Flair went on a strange speech about his life which at least made a semblance of sense. Flair said that in 1973 (actually it was 1972) he finished wrestling camp after quitting twice and thanked Verne Gagne for letting him into the greatest sport in the world. He said that in 1983 (actually it was June 12, 1982) he wrestled Dick the Bruiser at the Arena in St. Louis before a sellout crowd (crowd was 19,027 fans) and he was 35 and Bruiser was 56 (actually 33 and 54) and he thanked Bruiser when it was over (since Bruiser, who in those days virtually never did clean jobs, particularly in St. Louis where he was the top draw and most popular wrestler, and that night he put Flair over clean in a 2/3 fall match when Flair was world champion and I guess pointing out Bruiser's age since Bruiser was still a major draw when he was many years older than Flair or Piper are today) and that's when he knew he was a star in the sport (Flair must be a slow learner, because the rest of us figured that out many years before that). Then he said in 1993 (actually it was April 5, 1992) he wrestled Randy Savage at the Hoosier Dome and made some comment about how Angelo Poffo wouldn't be happy with what Savage is doing now. Then he said that he'd still be a star in 2003. I don't know how people who don't read this newsletter can possibly make heads or tails out of these interviews nowadays. With 2.8 million homes turned in while that interview was taking place, those three guys did an interview for exactly one person--Kevin Nash, who was probably laughing his way through it and a lot of the wrestlers backstage were behind their backs because they all exposed a lot of insecurity. And just for the record, as of Monday night, the two sides hadn't agreed on a main event which is why they simply announced it as Flair & Greene & Piper against the NWO without mentioning specific names. Public Enemy beat High Voltage in 4:37 of a street fight which was your basic garbage can, toilet seat brawl ending when Rocco put Rage through two tables and pinned him on the floor. It was also pretty good. Giant beat Big Al (formerly 911) in :59 with a choke slam of a match that would have been intolerable if it had gone any longer. Diamond Dallas Page pinned Konnan with the diamond cutter in 2:08. Savage and Liz were cutting a promo in the crowd, Page jumped in the crowd and they scurried. Jarrett & McMichael beat Harlem Heat in a rematch via DQ in 10:02 (*1/4). Match was a lot worse than last week, probably because McMichael wrestled in this one. McMichael was about to use the briefcase but Sherri got it from him. In the post-match, Sherri was supposed to miss hitting Debra with the briefcase, but in the follow through of her swing, she actually clocked Debra by accident. McMichael then did a pretty good interview setting up the pull-apart with Reggie White. Finale saw Luger beat Nash via DQ in 4:07 when the entire NWO attacked Luger in a poor match. Page made the first save but he was beaten down. Finally Sting and Giant came out and Sting had four baseball bats and he, Luger, Giant and Page cleaned house to end the show. Show came off as major league and had high points (White-McMichael angle) but couldn't touch the ECW show the previous night for quality. Beat the pants off Raw, however. quote:In the continuing saga of Sullivan vs. Nash, the Nash contingent is working to get Sullivan out of the ring. As many of you are aware, nearly one year ago Eric Bischoff told Sullivan that when the current program with Chris Benoit runs its course, that he has to get out of the ring. So Sullivan has done basically a brilliant job of keeping the feud going by using his wife, his son, Jacquelyn, etc., and to give the devil his due, in the process it has been a hot feud and has taken Benoit to superstardom. But if you've noticed, the angle where Kevin's son hit him with a chair in Baltimore hasn't been acknowledged and the pressure has been on from the other side to get Sullivan out of the ring and end the feud. quote:Hulk Hogan did a rare clean job for promoter Jacques Rougeau Jr. on the 4/11 WCW show at the Molson Center in Montreal which drew an estimated 9,000 fans and $209,000 Canadian.

Nash claims that it was an attempt to put together a heel stable which Goldberg could spend the next few months dismantling, and that the whole thing was ruined when Goldberg nearly destroyed his hand breaking open that car window like a week later. I've also read a claim that it was the result of quite a bit of backstage negotiation and came out of an attempt to get the "Hogan" and "Nash" backstage factions working in the same direction again.

Wasn't Bischoff also involved? It meant he got to do the nWo all over again, in theory. Even if the timeline weren't all wrong for Nash's excuse about pushing Goldberg, I have a hard time believing that they were pushing him with a storyline that was originally planned to be Liz accusing him of rape.

I think Hogan agreed to lose on a non-title dark match after Nitro at the Georiga Dome, but somebody at Turner made Bischoff make it a televised title match and by then it was too late to change things for the old Hulkster.

I'd heard the opposite, that Hogan knew the Georgia Dome show would be a sellout in front of Turner executives and was willing to take the loss if it meant proving that he was a massive box office draw (despite the show having already sold out before the match was booked).

The story from Dave's Bischoff takedown was basically that. It wasn't going to be a sell out but no one expected that. It was going to be a giant crowd (advance was around 30,000) and Hogan wanted credit for that in front of Turner. The original idea was a dark match with no title change and a week before the show Bischoff panicked and made it a title match. If my memory is correct Hogan wasn't too against the idea but wanted the streak as trade.
