 - The Rockers did lose the WWF tag titles - but they didn't have to wrestle
   to do it.  Here's the explanation: As we all know, the Rockers won the
   belts from the Hart Foundation at a SNME taping that was to air on
   November 24.  But, apparently disgruntled with having to wear masks
   and play second fiddle to the LOD, Demolition Ax & Smash quit the WWF
   on Sunday.  This leaves Vince with some shaken up programs and only
   five tag teams: LOD, Rockers, Power & Glory, Orient Express (DUD),
   and Bushwhackers (DUD) - i.e. only three real teams.  First off, Jim
   Neidhart will stay on for a while, giving the Hart Foundation some new
   life.  Apparently Vince likes having an even number of tag teams in his
   group.  Second, the Rockers/Harts match will be edited so that the
   Rockers win, but do not get the titles.  There's no word on Demolition
   Crush (Brian Adams), but Ax & Smash will be heading to Japan.
     This causes a little confusion about the future programming for the
   tag belts in the WWF.  Rumours have said that Vince wants LOD to face
   Power & Glory at WrestleMania, so somehow Vince will have to work the
   titles to the LOD before then.

 - The SNME mentioned above will actually air on November 23 at 10pm on NBC
   as a prime time special.  The bouts to be aired are:  Rockers vs. Harts
   (see above), Ultimate Warrior vs. Ted DiBiase, and Curt Hennig vs. Big
   Boss Man.

 - Latest rumour about the egg at Survivor Series has Mark Calaway coming
   out and working as the Eggman.  Doubtful, since Calaway will apparently
   work with Hogan and get a super push.  I just can't picture Hulk Hogan
   and the Eggman.

 - Ric Flair has challenged Buddy Landel to a match to determine who gets
   to use the title "Nature Boy" and who cannot.

 - I've been reminded that the Midnight Express quit the NWA before (Apr/89)
   and returned a few months later, so let's not lose hope that Stan and
   Jim will be back.  In the mean time, Bobby Eaton has a title shot against
   Sting this weekend that apparently drew a lot of heat.

 - Lex Luger taped an episode of Superboy last week.  I waited to report it
   until I knew when the episode is airing: the first week of December.
   He plays a villain that clashes with Superboy, and does okay until
   Stan Hansen does the run in and demolishes Luger with his cow bell.
   Okay, only half of the above scenario is true ;-)
