The big news from Alex Marvez this week only pertain to those
of us in Dayton:

*  When Nitro comes live to the Hara Arena on October 30, one of the
        dark matches will be Sabu (with The Shiek in his corner)
        taking on Eddy Guerrero.  I might be willing to pay for this match, as
        long as I can also sabotage the live broadcast somehow.  Other
        dark matches are Jerry Lynn vs. Paul Orndorff, Harlem Heat
        vs. Buck/Dick, and Pillman/DiskoNazi.  To be honest, for WCW, one out
        of four ain't bad!  Har har.  No word on what the televised matches
        will be, but I'd bet money they involve some combination of
        Hogan, Luger, Savage, and /or the Dungeon of Doom.  Whooppee.
        For those interested, tix go on sale for the taping this
        Saturday at 10a/m/.  Call TicketBastard.
*  Marvez's lead story pertains to the IYH/RAW tag title angle.  He
        says its a pathetic rip off and that anyone who paid for the
        PPV should demand a refund.  Whatever.  I'd hate to know what
        he thought of the much more pathetic rip-off screwjob ending
        when Hogan beat Flair in a match where he wrestled Vader.

Since the DDN column is slim pickins again this week, here are a cuople
other items I've decided to bring to your attention:

*  Texas' Tony Norris will be a babyface in the WWF, using the name
        Ahmed Johnson.  The first segment they showed of him this was
        impressive.  The guy is gonna be huge.  He looks like a monster,
        and he sounded convincing on the mic.
*  In his AOL Chat earlier in the week, President Gorilla Monsoon promised
        fans that an upcoming RAW will feature a steel cage match.  Start
        placing bets now for how long Nitro can go without copying this
        idea too!  Har har.

And ona totally editorial note:  Liger/Guerrero on Sunday Night was very good,
and I expect Guerrero/Malenko tonight will be tons better.  But it is
extremely depressing to see these guys put on matches light years ahead
of anything the guys on top are doing and getting ZERO crownd reaction.
WCW is doing a very professional job of introducing the new guys
on TV, but is doing nothing to try to get them over.  It is as if they are
just putting them out there to lure the hardcores who already like
them, but don't care of the legions of Hulkamaniacs who make up WCW
audience of nincompoops get behind any of them.  It's really depressing
to see WCW almost have a good idea, and then make sure that it
doesn't work.  Oh well.....
