Here are the tidbits from the weekly Alex Marvez column: * Lead story is that the Ultimate Warrior is a lock for Royal Rumble. I guess he didn't come cheap (Marvez doesn't say what Titan is paying, but notes that Warrior was hitting WCW up for $10,000 per WEEK when in negociations with them). No word on what comes next for Warrior after Rumble. * Vader may also make his WWF debut at the Rumble. * All these new acquisitions lead Marvez to theorize that some of the current top dogs in the WWF (he names Bret, Shawn, and Diesel) might start thinking about working elsewhere. He also says that the already unhappy mid-carders won't get it any easier with the pricy new guys coming in. Many of the mid-carders may go. News from elsewhere (mostly Georgie's Chatterbox on AOL): * Titan Tower is NOT for sale. TitanSports has put its warehouse on the market, but its HQ building is not on the blocks. * A new tag team called "Assault and Battery" (I forget their individual names) are set to start in the WWF soon. They were suppossed to be at the tapings last week, but one of them was ill, so they were told to stay home till they were one hundred percent. * Starting in 1996, the WWF Action Zone will be hosted by Todd Pettingill and Sunny (of the Bodydonnas). The set up for this is that Todd and Dok Hendrix "exchanged gifts" today... and since Dok can't be on the Zone when it next airs (1/7/95), his present was having Sunny replace him "for one week only." A quick snippet at the end of the show indicated that Sunny intends to make the hosting change PERMANENT. Sounds good to me! Later..... -- Rick Scaia | "Barkeep...
