 - Rick Steiner injured his right pec in Japan when he and Scott
   were defending the IWGP tag titles against Hiro Hase & Kensuke
   Sasaki on 09/23/92.  Reports have him out for the rest of the
   year.  The Steiners' contracts run out at the end of the year
   and Bill Watts is offering them the standard $1000 a night,
   but they are having trouble agreeing on how many dates should
   be guaranteed.

 - WCW has it's annual Halloween Havoc PPV on October 25, 1992.
   Tentative line-up includes:
     - Jake Roberts vs. Sting in a "Spin The Wheel, Make The Deal"
       match, where Sting will apparently spin a gimmicked wheel
       to determine which type of match takes place.  Matches
       on the wheel in the "Spin The Wheel Saloon" sketch were
       (in alphabetical order):
        - Barbed Wire
        - Cage
        - Coal Miner's Glove
        - Dog Collar Match
        - First Blood
        - I Quit
        - Lumberjack Match
        - Prince of Darkness
        - Russian Chain Match
        - Spinner Choice
        - Texas Bull Rope
        - Texas Death Match
     - Rick Rude vs. Masa Chono for the NWA Heavyweight Title
     - Ron Simmons vs. Barbarian for the WCW Heavyweight Title
   The show will be announced by Jim Ross & Jesse Ventura, with Tony
   Schiavone & Bruno Sammartino hosting (i.e. Bruno gets Eric Bischoff's
   regular spot).  They've also announced
     - Steiners vs. Barry Windham & Dustin Rhodes
     - Ricky Steamboat TV Title defence (vs. Steve Austin tentatively)
   but it doesn't seem like either of these matches can possibly take
   place (since Rick Steiner is out, and Steamboat has lost the TV
   Title, assuming they air the match).

 - The WWF has it's annual Survivor Series PPV from Richfield, PA,
   on US Thanksgiving weekend.  Matches will include:
      - Randy Savage & Ultimate Warrior vs. Ric Flair & Razor Ramon
           with trouble-shooting referee Sgt. Slaughter
      - Big Boss Man vs. Nailz in a nightstick match
     *- Kamala vs. The Undertaker in a casket match

  Gary Will, the Fluffster and I got through a bit of them and what
  we saw was alright.  I watched a bit of the Onita vs. Pogo match;
  it was a barbed wire landmine match - pretty disgusting.

- Year-End Achievement awards: Early next week (this weekend is
  Thanksgiving holiday weekend in Canada), I will post a list of
  the nominations that have come in and make the final call for
  nominations.  Then comes the voting.

                                                                   Herb...
