From: hekunze@watmsg.uwaterloo.ca (Herb Kunze) Newsgroups: rec.sport.pro-wrestling Subject: Wrestling TidBits - 02/14 Message-ID: <1991Feb14.144607.2302@watmath.waterloo.edu> Date: 14 Jan 91 17:44:44 GMT Sender: daemon@watmath.waterloo.edu (0000-Admin(0000)) Organization: University of Waterloo - The WWF has toned down Sgt. Slaughter's character a bit to appease the media that has been very critical of it. He no longer mentions Saddam Hussein by name and the Iraqi flag has faded into the background. The problem is that nobody has toned down Hulk Hogan's interviews. This past weekend's interviews were disgusting, with Hogan mentioning that Slaughter may try to use "millions of gallons of oil to gag [his] Hulkamaniacs." - Apparently, Greg Valentine & the Honky Tonk Man debuted at a WCW taping this weekend. Greg worked. Honky worked as a commentator. Dustin Rhodes also made his debut at a weekend taping. - Brother Love is gone from the WWF. I think the last Brother Love show we'll see has Sgt. Slaughter burning Hulk Hogan in effigy. Herb...
