As our dear friend Mr. Scaia celebrates graduation for the next few weeks,
I will try to follow in his footsteps with this edition of The News From
Dayton, a recap of the Alex Marvez printed every Sunday in the Dayton
Daily News.  All copyrights reserved.  Not anything earthshattering or
really new this week, but here it is:

* The headline this week is "Viewer discretion advised" as Alex comments :
"If sex sells, the WWF's next PPV should be a blockbuster."  since the two
main events (Michaels vs. Smith, Undertaker vs. Goldust) will be drenched
in sexual overtones.  Alex writes that on this Monday's RAW, GD will make
a pass at Paul Bearer and Owen Hart after Owen loses to UT.  Next week,
Goldust will help knock UT out with the help of Mankind and proceed to run
his hands over UT.
Alex also comments that several gay-rights groups have protested the WWF
because of GD.  And Alex hints that the reason for the WWF's more mature
image, after years of priding itself as "family entertainment," is to take
the lead of ECW.

* The ratings for last Monday's Nitro were 25% lower than normal due to
the 7pm start.  This Monday will feature The Giant vs. Luger as the main
event.

Told you it wasn't much!

Have Fun,
Shawn
