From: ag725@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Rick Scaia) Subject: [INFO] The News from Dayton, 10/29/95 Date: 1995/10/29 Message-ID: Sender: ag725@freenet.carleton.ca (Rick Scaia) Organization: The National Capital FreeNet Reply-To: ag725@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Rick Scaia) Newsgroups: rec.sport.pro-wrestling Here's the condensed version of Alex Marvez's weekly Dayton Daily News Column: * The possibility of a Hulk Hogan heel turn should be considered a very real one. "Plummetting" PPV buy rates have prompted WCW/Hogan to seriously consider this move. One main reason is that WCW has been unable to supply Hogan with an interesting set of heel opponents. It is assumed that more people would be willing to pay for Hogan vs. Savage or Sting or Luger. No word on Hogan leaving after Havoc to either make a movie or return to Titan (as reported elsewhere). * The Yeti will more than likely interfere in the Havoc main event. Marvez says that Ron Reis, and not El Gigante Gonzales, will be the Yeti. * Also of note: the Giant will probably turn face after losing to Hogan tonight. As if that didn't warrent a big "Who cares?": with the Giant turning, Ron Reis as the "Yeti", and El Gigante set to return, WCW is building to a triangle confrontation of some kind between the three "giants." * Johnny B. Badd will win the TV Title tonight from Diamond Dallas Page. * The Ric Flair turn is still expected tonight, although late word is that WCW is considering waiting till November to do it. Either way, expect Flair to turn on Sting before 1996 begins to reform the Horsemen as planned. * It is only a matter of time before the 1-2-3 Kid turns heel, says Marvez. One possible outcome to the angle would have the Kid wind up as a student of the "Dean," Shane Douglas.
