hey i have a few questions about the wwf ( oh yeah love ur sight go to all
the time )
1. do you think the rock will win the title again ever and if he does will he
be good or bad, cause he has never won it as good.
2. do you think sunny wil ever come back to the wwf cause she was my favorite
female, and i would love to see her in a wwf ring again.
3. if rock had a tag match who would you pick as his partner.
4. who do you think could win the gold in the wwf besides austin,
undetaker,hhh,mankind,and the rock, because i would like ot see some one new
if u could pick who would u nominate.
if you could please answer my quetsions and postthem it would be great czuse
i want to know what you think.
1) I would think he'll definately get a chance to be WWF Champion as a face.
2) Unfortunately, it's looking doubtful that she'll come back.
3) Depends on who it's against. I think a tag match with Mankind would be pretty interesting. They looked pretty good cleaning house with each other on Smackdown.
4) In the forseeable future, The Big Show and Kane would be solid candidates. Years from now, guys like Shamrock, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Test, Edge, D'Lo, etc. might all get their chances. You never know.
From: Brisp316
your stie rocks!!!! i just have 2 questions for you.
1. is it true that test is dating tori in real life?
2. since stephanie said yes to test's marriage proposal on smackdown...where
is the wwf gonna go with this?????
a- They get married. But I don't think we'll see that happen. Then, there's really nowhere to go with the angle.
b- They split up. I'm not sure how this would happen. Maybe Test gets distracted by Debra's puppies during a match and Stephanie takes exception? They get in a fight, and she dumps him? Hey, I don't know, I'm just the mailbag guy, but I'll be interested to see where the WWF goes with this angle.
1) No. He's dating Stephanie! Just kidding. Test isn't dating either one off-camera. In fact, I think he is actually engaged to someone not in the wrestling business at all.
2) Good question. I think this angle has gotten really stupid, really quickly. If we examine the situation logically, we see that one of two things will happen:
From: LIQUIDSNAKE
FIRST OF ALL I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR SITE IS THE GREATEST SOURCE FOR RUMORS AND INFO ABOUT
THE WWF. WELL IVE GOT TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU. FIRST OF ALL, AT SUMMER SLAM DURING THE TRIPLE THREAT
CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH, STONE COLD FELL INTO THE ROPES AND GOT STUCK IN THEM RIGHT AFTER THE BODY THREW
SHANE OUT OF THE RING. WAS STONE COLD DRUNK? OR WAS THAT PLANNED TO HAPPEN? SOMETIMES I THINK THAT
STONE COLD COMES IN DRUNK INTO THE SQUARED CIRCLE?WHENEVER HE DOES HIS PERFORMENCES. SECONDLY, HOW
LONG DO YOU THINK TRIPILE H WILL HOLD ON TO THE BELT AND DO YOU THINK A POSSIBLE HBK VS HHH AT NEXT YEARS
WRESTLE MANIA?
No, Austin has never been drunk during a match. Yeah, we see him drink beer during interviews, but it doesn't mean he goes backstage and drinks the whole night. The WWF wouldn't let anyone go in the ring if they were drunk. Even if it is their biggest draw. As for Wrestlemania, it's way too early to tell.
From: Paul
1) When steve blackmen first appeared (out of the crowd to help vader) was he really supposed to or was he a fan do to the fact he
had no wrestling skills?
2) after reading the smackdown tapings (there not on in england) do you think that HHH HBK Chyna will chuck Shane and reform
as DX and who do you think they should recruit?
1) It was a work. Blackman isn't some guy they just got off the streets.
2) Could happen. That's actually an intriguing theory. The four come out and celebrate on RAW, then Hunter, Shawn, and Chyna kick Shane out and announce that only they are the true degenerates. Still, it probably won't happen, as turning against Shane would probably make them faces.
From: Jesse
I was wondering if you could just tell me what the hell this "clique"
thing is. I just started watching wrestling in january and i rent a lot
of wrestling movies when diesel was around and razor ramon was around.
they were always fighting each other so how were they in a group
thingy??? And why do you say it would be a mistake for wwf to make it
three hours on raw, that would be smart because they would take the
ratings away from wcw's first hour. I always watch wcw until raw comes
on. Please answer my questions i have asked other sites about a month
ago and they still havent answered. Bubbye.
The Clique wasn't a wrestling stable. On camera, Razor and Diesel had a big feud, but backstage, Shawn Michaels, Diesel (Kevin Nash), Ramon (Scott Hall), X-Pac, and HHH were best friends. As for the three hour show, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The WWF is already on top by a hefty margain. They have no reason to change anything.
From: DXmoose
Hey raj,gramps,kayfabe ; i got a few questions for the mail bag
1) I am writing this before smackdown debuts so don't chew me out if it allready happened
but do you think that Smackdown could turn into a show where the title changes hands or will
it end up sucking like thunder, OR will it be somewhere in the middle with maybe IC and Euro
titles on the line. I saw the card for the first one tonight and it looks great, but do you
think We'll have a great card EVERY thursday.
2)maybe i missed it but where the hell is Mark mero, I know he had that elbow surgery but I
think he'd be ready by now? He's a good talent that could help the roster which is lacking
in the heel department as of late.
3)finally wasn't Shane awesome at summerslam. He took more bumps than most wrestlers do
nowadays. he and Test worked a fantastic match. Do you think that test might become a main
eventer in the distant future. hes young, talented, could use a few lessons on working the
mic, but defiantly has the goods to headline pay-per veiws with guys like jericho, edge, big
show, and rocky in a few years down the road.
thanks for answering
1) No, it's gonna be a good show. Maybe not as good as RAW, but almost.
2) When his wife left, so did he.
3) Like father, like son. Test reminds many, including me, of a young Kevin Nash. He has tremendous power, good in-ring skills, and he's proved he can carry a good match. I think Test can turn out as a big star in the WWF.
From: WolfcubT
Is it just me, or doesn't the King of the Ring get a world title shot?? If
this is true, when are we gonna see Bad Ass get his shot? I think a Bad Ass,
HHH feud would be tight. Thanks.
It's not written in stone anywhere. It isn't like the Rumble where the winner goes to Wrestlemania. Bad Ass is certainly getting pushed coming off his KOTR victory, but he's not ready to seriously contend for the World Title yet. Perhaps he will get an IC Title reign first.
From: hale mac
is it true that mark callaway is really taking his charecter
(undertaker) as his real life identity.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say no.
From: ILuvDX84
Hey! I was just wondering if there are two referees in the WWF with the name
Hebner because sometimes I hear people say Dave Hebner and sometimes I hear
them say Earl Hebner. Can you clear this up for me please?
Earl Hebner is a long time WWF referee. Dave Hebner works backstage. You might see him on TV sometimes trying to break up a fight or something. They are twin brothers.
From: Pete
Hey Raj! Great site, but I get pissed off by all the people asking if the fake diesel is
Kane and if Nash and Hall are coming to the WWF! Stop asking! Anyways, here are some
questions for you guys:
1)Which of the WWF's young stars (Edge, D'Lo, Test, Val...) do you think will be pushed to
main event level the soonest?
2)Has Austin ever done something that could be considered a wrestling move?
3)I want to see some of the greatest matches of all time on old tapes, so which PPV's and
matches should I check out?
Thanks man!
1) Of the four you mentioned... what the hell, I'll go with Test.
2) Not in the last two years.
3) Hmm. I always like this question. Watching old videos and old PPV's are always an excellent way to teach yourself about past matches/feuds. I'd go with any of the Wrestlemania's except for 13 and 14. You can't go wrong with any of the PPV's from, say '90 to '94, but I don't know how far you want to go back. Here's a suggestion, but it will only work if you have a nearby video store that has a wide range of old WWF videos. Set a date you want to start with. Maybe 1990, maybe 1995, I don't know. Then, start at that date and rent videos in order. It'll make it easier to learn about past feuds and stuff. Remember: "The Big 5" consists of the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, King Of The Ring, Summerslam, and Survivor Series. Don't bother with too much of that In Your House crap. Good luck.
From: Bplayrmb10
You're site is tight, better than WWF.com. Anyways, I know you've said it
before, but could please describe every detail you know about "MSG" incident
with the klique. Also, if I bought that tape of that pay per view, would all
of that be on it. Also, a couple months ago you eluded to a rumor of Nash
bringing down the WCW from the inside, by the shitty booking he has done, I'm
starting to think he really is!! Thanks for your time!!
This goes to everybody. Not to pick on Bplayrmb10@aol.com specifically, but before you guys send questions into the Mailbag, READ RAJAH'S FAQ. The link is at the top of this very page. There he describes the Clique incident, the Bret Hart screwjob, and many other things. Read that first, and it will save us both time.
From: Blink182du
hey raj nice page it really kicks ass i got a few questions for you guys.
1. With Stone cold injured for the foreseeable future do you think The Rock
may get the title from Triple H soon?
2. Do you think Rock vs. Big Show at Wrestlemania 2000 is a better match
than Stone Cold vs. Big Show
3. Why do you think Edge only received a one day IC title reign?
4. I think Jeff Jarrett should become a face like Debra so he can get over
with the fans and can feud with Mr. Ass. What do you think?
5. Here are my thoughts on who should win the Hardcore title-
Road Dogg-he was once he should win again
Chris Jericho-he could be he power bombed Road Dogg through a table
D-Lo Brown-he wrestled a great match two months ago against Al Snow i think
What do you think about these three as champs??
6. I have been thinking that since Kane doesn't have the mic skills why not
make himthe IC champ instead of the World Champ. H ewould be a good one in
my mind. What do you think?
7. Do you think they would ever let Chyna be the IC champ, even if it's only
for a day?
1) I think they'll feud and probably face each other in the main event of this month's PPV, but I think HHH will get a pretty lengthy title reign.
2) Too early to say.
3) He wanted a push and they gave him one... now it seems like he's back to square one again. Sure he doesn't have Gangrel, but he's back to where he was three months ago: a mild tag team feud against the Hardy Boyz. I guess the WWF wanted to grant him his wish of a push, but didn't want to do too much with him quite yet.
4) The same thing actually crossed my mind. They're pushing Gunn as a heel, and since Debra gets tremendous face pop it seems like a good idea. But I don't think it'll happen. Jarrett is a natural heel. One of those classic, prototype heels who you never see go face.
5) Of the guys you listed, I think only the Road Dogg should go hardcore. The other two are solid mid carders, and the WWF needs all of them they can get.
6) You're not going to see Kane as IC Champ. Trivia time: How many ex-World Champs have later gone on to win the IC Belt. Answer: One. Pedro Morales, and that was over fifteen years ago. Bottom line is it just doesn't happen. I still think it's possible that Kane will make another serious run at the World Title before everything is said and done. Right now he's stuck in a tag team role.
7) Sadly, I don't think that's impossible. I've had that thought before. It seems like they are really hell-bent on pushing her as one of the guys, and since I doubt they'll ever let her touch the World Title, this may be an option.
From: Thomas Crooks
you guys must get sick of answering the same questions over + over again (i know I get tired of reading it) Why dont you just tell them to
read the FAQ most of the answers are there
any ways whats up with jeff jarrett's new chick
Thank you, Thomas! Everybody listen to him. Check out past editions of the Mailbag as well as Rajah's FAQ before you send us anything. As for Kitty, she is the real-life girlfriend of Jerry "The King" Lawler.
From: Jeff
What is your opiniobn on Kane and X-pac, I think they are the best
tag-team in the wwf, why are they trying to split up those two, when in these
days tag teams generally suck.(no outsiders,New age outlaws,who i thought
were fags, but were still popular,iguess road dogg is cool but billy gun is a
fruit booty,no steiners,LOD was phased out, I gues the toughest team out, is
the the undertaker and the big shoe, but how long will that last?
Although, I hate it when the WWF teams two singles stars and gives them the Tag belts, I have to admit, I like the team of Kane and X-Pac. Realistically, I think they've done all they can with this team. They've been together for months, won the belts multiple times, etc. I think it's time to move on. Both these guys have tremendous potential as singles wrestlers.
From: Peeplzchamp
Also i know Mark Henry is always
referred to as 'The Worlds Strongest Man,'
but where did he get this title from, did he actually win one of the Worlds Strongest Man
competitions? Also, do you use this as your reasoning for saying he is stronger than The Big
Show? Thanx in advance.
Before he came to the WWF, Mark Henry actively competed in Weightlifting Contests. I think he benched pressed some ridiculously large amount (possibly the world record?) and therefore earned the nickname "The World's Strongest Man".
From: JB Hanna
This is a wonderful site. I visit at least once a day. If you could do me a big favor and put this into the mailbag, I would appreciate it. Now
then, if I'm not mistaken, HHH is a Grand Slam Winner.
Tag Titles w/ X-Pac, I-C belt he won over the Rock, European title over Owen Hart, Now, World Champion. I know you don't have to
hold them all at once, HBK did not. Is this and oversight by the WWF or do you think they'll mention it soon. Oh, and Kayfabe, i think Jeff
Jarrett is very talented, no doubt about it, but the "greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time" consists of more than just winning via
Debra distraction or Mark Henry or guitar shots.He is talented, and is omeone who deserves to get over with the fans on his own. Thanks
for listening.
Nope, HHH never won the Tag Titles at all. You are correct about the other titles, though. I was just going a bit nuts with Jarrett last issue, cause he's my favorite wrestler the WWF has right now (he'll have some competition now that the Bulldog is back), and I was proud of him for winning the IC Title for the sixth time. Six! That's a tremendous accopmplishment that nobody can take away from him. To tell you the truth, I don't think that he is the hands-down best IC Champ ever, but he's definitely up there among the best.
From: PaulDX
Hey man. I have a couple of questions:
1) Remember a couple of years back, that match on a
Raw where Shawn Michaels fought Owen Hart. Supposedly
Shawn collapsed in the ring due to a kick that Owen
delivered. Did Shawn really faint or was that staged?
Please post as I have been wondering this for years.
2) At the February PPV, Paul Wight (his debut) threw
Steve Austin onto the steel cage and the section of
the cage broke off. Was that supposed to happen?
Thanx
1) That was one of those very well-done works. With Shawn's past history of concussions, they used this as one of those moments where your heart stops for a second and you think, "Is this real?"
2) Yep.
From: #1 Jerichoholic!!!!!!
Hi, great site Rajah, I visit twice a day, now, onto the questions:
1) In the last edition of the mailbag a person asked what the longest
winning streak was in the WWF, and you said it was Tatanka, now, this
is what me and a freind THINK, did Andre The Giant not go ALOT longer
than that(somewhere I read 15 something, i forget if it was 15 months
or 15 years)?
2) I would like alll three of you to answer this one, I would like to
know all of your top 5 fav wrestlers lists, mine are (in order form 1st
to 5th): Jericho, The Rock, HHH, Mankind, Kane
3) I believe that seeing HBK pull off the sweet chin music was
INCREDIBLE, I loved it, also he has been pushed around a bit, do you
think this is any indication that he may wrestle sometime in the near
future, I think it would be great to see at Royal Rumble 2000 he won
the Title off Austin.
4) JJ is the greatest IC champ of all time, do you think at any time we
could see a JJ vs Jericho feud, because I would like to see Jericho win
IC gold.
THX guys and PLZ post this!!!
OK, now I want to express my views on this Rock/Fantasy Tournament issue. Many of you sent me e-mails, and whether you agreed with me or not, I'm happy to see that everyone intelligently presented their views. Here's my take on it: I know why the Rock won. I know he's the most popular star right now, and I know many of the newer fans may not know too much about what exactly guys like Hulk Hogan or Bret Hart did for the WWF. In many ways, Hulk made wrestling, and Bret was the greatest wrestler I have ever seen. I think it's crazy that either of these men would lose to the Rock in this tournament. The question doesn't ask who has better mic skills, or who is more popular today. The question asks "Who was the better overall champion in the 90's?" And I personally cannot believe that a man who held the belt for a total of three months was a better champion than Bret or Hulk. You just aren't going to convince me. That is how I feel, and I'm getting a little sick of myself speaking about the matter so I can imagine how you readers must feel. You won't hear anything more from me about this. I'll shut up now, but before we put this subject to rest for good, here are some of the e-mails I recieved.
1) Yep, it's Andre. Tatanka had the longest streak in what we call "modern history", but Andre was listed as undefeated for over a decade. Quite a feat!
2) My very favorite is Jeff Jarrett. I like a lot of guys, though. Such as Billy Gunn, Jericho, Christian, The Hardyz, HHH, Undertaker, etc. Let's not forget the returning British Bulldog. And there's nobody more I look forward to seeing on the mic more than two men: Mankind and the Rock.
3) I hope so, but like I've said a million times before- there's no way we can predict this. HBK also gave sweet chin music to Vinnie Mac six months ago. And we haven't seen him wrestle since then, have we?
4) Wow, you know how to get on my good side. I think Jericho has plenty of titles in his future, and he's perfect for the IC Belt, but he's still a rookie as far as the WWF is concerned. I like his current role.
From: TIm
Hey Kayfabe,
i Was just writing to tell you that the Rock was voted the number 1 wrestler
because he is so popular right now. If he was still in the Corporation or
the Nation and Bret Hart was still in the WWF when this happened, it would
definietly be voted in Bret's favor. There are so many fans that don't have
favorite wrestlers, they just like the faces. When the Rock was in the
Corporation, everyone hated him, when HBK was against HHH everyone loved him,
now, everyone hates him. The poll just took place at a time where the Rock
isn't the most electryifying man in sports, he is the Most popular man in
sports.
From: JonyyBravo
i know what you mean people just say dumb sh-t like, cause he is the most bla
bla bla bla. But the rock is my favorite cause hes hilorious on the mic i
mean he can just light up a room, dont get me wrong the hit man is one the
greatest champs of all time but he never did anything for me, i like the
rocks wrestlin wise, cause hes for exicting then the hit man. I mean the rock
punches kicks dose a ddt and rock bottom then the peoples elbow, pretty much
the rest of the time the other time the other wrestlers kickin his ass As for
hit man he worked matches really slow wich i didnt care and I dont like how
he would wear oppents out while kickin the knee for 20 min. Thanks for readin
if you even get this and i hope to hear a responce on your reaction to what
ive just posted.
From: X2Insane
you are totally right about the rock. The sad thing is, though, that today's
stars will beat out yesterday's stars. I for one, voted for Bret. It is even
worse, though, that Stone Cold is going to win. Especially know with the HBK
heel turn, he's not going to get anywhere, and is going to lose to SC. As far
as I am considered, Stone Cold totally sucks, and only gets by on his average
mic skills. He will beat Shawn Michaels, who deserves to be either runner up
or the best, and it will be stone cold vs. the rock. I think it should have
been more a classic thing, from guys between '80s and early '90s. Which means
excluding the Rock, Stone Cold, Mankind, and so on. (Even though the Rock and
Mankind are my favorites)
From: Electrifying
I voted for the rock because he never once backstabbed wwf by signing with
wcw. I think that represents wwf very well.
From: Peeplzchamp
Kayfabe,
You make me laugh man, that Rock thing was funny! I don't have an argument for the Rock, as
I think Bret is the greatest champ of the 90's, but i have an explanation. I believe it is
because many Rock marks out there who have gotten into wrestling only in the last year have
voted, and they quite possibly represent the majority.
Compliments of The Great One.
From: TuPacRR
The rock won the fantasy touny because he is much more known now. You have
to relize a bulk of the fans who visit this site werent watching bret hart,
including myself. So we have no idea what bret has done. We cant vote for
the man if we know nothing about him. And besides, the rock is the biggest
face in the wwf right now, of course peiople will vote for him
From:Headkorn60
HEy. I'm a big fan of the website adn I love the fantasy tournamentts and
mailbags. Well how the hell did the Rock beat Bret Hart AND Hulk Hogan? I
know youre not the one voting but come on. The Rock may have had the title 3
times. that means he lost it 3 times as well. And all 3 of his title regins
only lasted about 4 months if I"m correct. Bret Hart held onto the belt much
longer then the Rock. the rock is seeded 9th for a reason.
From: MrPPVGJP
You asked why the Rock beat Bret Hart in the Fantasy Tournament. Even though
I voted for Hart, I'll field that one! People think in terms of what is good
now. The Rock is better than Hart now. The fact that, in his prime, Bret was
a better champion does not mean anything to these people who have forgotten
his success. People will always vote on what is new and recent. Thats the way
it is and your totally justified to be questionable of the result.
From: #1 Jerichoholic
Hi, I am writing to tell you why I voted for the Rock instead of Bret(PS, I know you probably think I am a dummy or something, but I have
watched wrestling since 1990, on a regualr basis, I KNOW MY SHIT)
This was the hardest question I think of the whole tournament, The Rock has better mic skills, more crowd followers(exception of here in
Canada), Bret was a better WRESTLER, but not by much, I think you underestimate The Rock's talent, and I think that was cleared up with
his match vs. Gamgrel recently, suplex, samoan drop, ddt's, and many other moves. That is why I picked him, but beleive me, the BEST
damn WWF champ there ever was is BAR NONE HBK!!!
From: Wannabee Gr8 1
In the last mailbag you made said that you didn't know why Bret Hart was out
voted by the Rock. You want to know why I voted that way so I am answering
the call. First off, I just started watching WWF in September of 1997. I
only saw the Hitman as a champion for 2 months before he (and his career)
went down south. Also, Bret just couldn't get the crowd into a match the
way the Rock can. Bret was to technical in his wrestling while the Rock
uses a multitude of exciting move that make me love the Rock. Plus, the
Rock has had some of the most exciting matches I have ever seen, i.e. Rock
vs. HHH ladder match, Stone Cold at WM 15, and Halftime heat against
Mankind. The only match I ever saw involving Bret Hart that got me off my
seat was the Iron Man Match against HBK at WM 12. And my last reason, one
your gonna hate me for, is that the Rock is the most electrifying man in
sports entertainment. His mic skills and pure entertainment ability is what
puts him above Bret Hart as a great champion.
From: J
Just wanted to pass on my complete agreement with Kayfabe on the "Fantasy
Tournament". Anyone who actually believes, at this point in time, the Rock
was a superior WWF Champion to Bret Hart has just recently landed on the
proverbial bandwagon.
From: MrDemon16
Kayfabe, your comments about Crock beating Hit Man in the tournament almost
made me break down and cry they were so accurate. Thank God I thought I was
alone.
From:: Jesse
1)IF the legion of doom get released from their wwf contracts, will they be
headed back to WCW, or might they go to ECW?
2)Why would the WWF release two wrestlers who are still very popular with
the fans and keep wrestlers like Chaz who people don't show much interest in,
and who was given many chances to get "over" and not give the L.O.D. another
chance to come back even though Animal is injured.
1)The Legion Of Doom have been competing in Japan since their WWF hiatus. It has been rumored that the L.O.D. will end their illustrious careers in Japan as well. I would imagine that upon their WWF release, they would at the very least draw some interest from WCW or some of the Indy's. After all, these guys are legends in the industry.
2)My first response would be MONEY! there are also other factors as well: age, injury status, willingness to put other wrestlers over, etc.
From:Hardco3317
Here are a couple of questions I'd appreciate it if you guys would answer.
By the way, great site!
1. Will Gillberg reappear on WWF TV soon? If so, will it be under the same WCW gimmick?
2. Will the WWF have evening gown matches and bikini contests on TV in the future months?Thanx you guys.
1)Probably the same gimmick, I really don't see a lot of other options available.
2)I sure hope so. The only thing I like more than puppies are kitties!
From:Karen
I wrote you earlier, and forgot to mention... Do you think it's
possible that G TV is Gabroni Television, especially since The Rock got
BA on camera and also had the girl with him? Just wondering.
Thanks
All indications appear that Terri Runnels is behind G-TV. Then again, this is sports entertainment(we'll just have to wait and see how this angle develops if it even does).
From:ShadYOneWC
1. Do you think that Chyna will compete in the Survivor Series?
2. Do you think that WWF will have Big Show win the Survivor Series, since he hasn't really gotten a push?
3. Isn't Mike Tyson supposed to be coming back to WWF, because he still has to do a couple of shows on Raw and a ppv?
4. Isn't Test supposed to get a title soon, like IC?
1)Eventually Chyna will capture some sort of event / title. I would not be surprised to see her amoung the Survivor Series entrees.
2)It is possible. Hopefully, TBS will soon make an impact, so far his angles have been rather unproductive.
3)I would hope that Tyson is attempting to get his boxing career and life back in order. Boxing is much more profitable than wrestling will ever be.
4)Maybe, he is indeed receiving a push with the Stephanie McMahon angle. It wil be very intersting to see how far his push carries him.
From:Kev
What is a death match, this question was asked before but it seems to be avoided
A death match usually consists of many stipulations. The general rule is to beat your opponent until he is senseless, so he will be unable to answer the bell after the pinfall. The combatant who cannot answer the bell will be declared the loser.
From:Sexybig316
i have a question.why the hell did mankind win the triple threat?it was bull s*it he was even in the match.he is gone for 2 monhts comes back and wins the world that bullshit.
It has been reported / rumored that SCSA refused to job to HHH. The three way dance was created to allow all party's involved to be satisfied with outcome of the match. Ego's have become very prevalant within the industry of late.

hey Raj great site a couple questions.
1) will we ever see "puppies" in the future of WWF?
2) is there gonnabe a new DX i heard the hardy boyz r gunna join Dogg,
X-Pac and kane?
thanx
1)No
2)I don't see the Hardy's figuring into the DX equation. From recent happenings, it woiuld appear that the "real" DX will consist of HBK, HHH, Chnya and whoever else is recruited into the stable. I don't think that it would be to far fetched to see X-Pac rejoin his former comrades. Rumors continue to swirl, as the Road Dogg maybe due for another temporary hiatus.

I have heard around that the undertaker's real name is Mark Brown. I don't know if thats right or if your undertker's name is right but I thought I would send this in to help clear some things up!

Hi Rajah, love the page, keep up the good work! 2 quick questions for you.
1) Where has Big Papa Pump Scott Steiner been lately? Any rumors to steroid
abuse?
2) Is the love thing between Test and Stephanie Mac real, or is it just a
story line, because it sure looks cheap on air.
Thanks, and take it Easy!
1)Steiner is reported to have several serious, career threatening conditions (back and shoulder). He is currently working diligently to return to the ring. Whether his injuries allow him to do so is still yet to be determined. Contrary to popular belief, Steiner has never been reported to have failed a drug test.
2)It is all an angle.
From:Joe
I heard a rumor that there was 2 Ultimate Warriors that the first one died. Is that true?
Thanks,
Just one Warrior, James Hellwig who legally changed his name to Warrior.
From:Jimbo
I dont know which one of the three of u will answer but plez do so in a good answer. On another wrestling site (WZ), they keep reporting that WCW wrestlers (Raven + Kidman) want their release and Bischoff is giving it to them. Is this true or has yet again, WZ reported bogus material. Raven would be great for ECW, especially when he is a former champ + Canada is now getting ECW starting next week, he would be a great attraction. Kidman could do wonders for the WWF's light-heavyweights also. So whats the scoop, are they going anywhere??
I don't know what WZ has reported. What I do know is Raven has returned to ECW where he has since captured tag-team gold with Tommy Dreamer. Kidman has been rumored to be staying with WCW (at least for now). Konnan, reportedly is going to be given his release, whether he is legally able to wrestle for the WWF is unknown at this time. I would imagine that there will be some language written into the releases barring the wrestlers from entering certain other promotions (WWF).
From:Brenda
Apparently, Dustin Runnels still has time left on his contract with WWF, so where has he been for the last several months? was he injured, or in conflict with other members of the organization? Please give me a detailed answer.
thanx,
Dustin has been officially released by the WWF. Consensus opinion has him returning to WCW to reunite with his estranged father Dusty Rhodes. He may also become the newest edition of "The West Texas Rednecks."

Dear Mailbag,
I just want to say first off thank you for have a kick a$$ site. You and
your crew have done a great job and just wanted you to know I think your site
is the best out there. I have two questions. First I love Chris Jericho ever
since he was in WCW and now that he is in the WWF he is going to be the
biggest superstar ever. Well my question is, is Jericho going to be put into
a contender spot for a championship in the Hardcore divison since he's fuding
with Roaddog.
Second what is Chris Jericho's web site where I can write to
him. I know he has his own I just don't know what address is so if you can
provide this much thanks.
1)I would think that Jericho is best suited to start a run at the I/C belt.
2)To visit Jericho's website click here

Do you have any idea, and I know im talking about old stuff, why did Jesse
"The Body" Ventura talk so much about Navy Seals in his interview on the
August 9th RAW? Any explanation for this would be appreciated.Thanks
I wouldn't put to much into this, In my opinion, Jesse was just attempting to create a mystique that portrays him as the ultimate enforcer.
I have been trying to avoid this since I started helping out with the mailbag, but I can't stands no more! Honestly, Rajah doesn't pay me enough to handle the extra duties required with the obsession that has occurred. It seems that Jana has a never ending list of gentlemen admirers. Jana, please either remove your incredibly erotic photos or select one of the following eligible bachelors. The madness must cease. Here are a few of the letters received recently:

What ever happened to the Slickster? The last I remember him was when he managed Kamala, and was a born-again type guy.
He has retired from wrestling and now is a full time practicing minister.
Dear Rajah, Grandpa, and Kayfabe
First off, great site, etc. Anyway I have a few questions for you:
1.Do you ever see Shane McMahon becoming a full time wrestler? I saw him
wrestle at Wrestlemania and Summerslam and he was better then most of the
actual wrestlers.
2.Why is WWF giving Big Show such a big push? It sounds as if they are
contemplating putting him in the main event of Wrestlemania XVI, wouldn't it
be better to put HBK vs. HHH if Michaels is back??
1)I honestly can't see Shane ever wrestling full time, he's just as effective as an ownership heel. I do have to agree that he did put on a hell of a show against Test.
2)I don't think that TBS has even been remotely pushed yet, in my opinion he has not even come close to being used to his capacity. It is questionable at best, whether HBK will ever return to the squared circle in a participant role.
hey Rajah once again a great site and i have a question for you. I have heard that in WCW that Sting was Brian Bosworth and i was wondering how much truth there was to that. thanks
No, they are not brothers.
hey! first off your site kicks ass am gald to hear it will be up for a time to come.
my question regards yokozuna, you said he runs a wrestling school in buffalo, which is my hometown and i was wondering if you knew the name of it or hoe i could reach them?
thanks very much
The last known whereabouts that I had for Yoko had him as the lead wrestling instructor for the BWF. He was also the acting Commissioner, too! For more details, check out the BWF click here .
alright i have 5 questions:
1)Will Vince McMahon ever come back to wwf?
2)Is debra ever going to leave J.J. and join Stone Cold SteveAustin?
3)Will Kane ever show his face?
4)Is bret hart ever coming back to wrestling?
5)will wwf ever come to oregon?
thanks
1)Absolutely
2)I have no doubt she will one day depart from JJ, I'm not convinced that she will then take up with SCSA (sounds to easy).
3)He may, I doubt it though. It would ruin the gimmick that he he has worked so hard to create..
4)I would say, yes. However, I don't see him continuing to wrestler for that long a time, I do believe that he has tired from the industry in general.
5)Not as long there is stringent drug testing.
Hey Rajah, awesome site, I have a couple of comments and a couple of
questions, so here they are:
-1-Will we ever see any more "Billionare Ted" skits?
-2-Will Stevie Richards ever get a big push in the WWF he is in my opinion one of the BEST WRESTLERS OF ALL TIME
-3-Why did Bossman recently get the Hardcore title back, didn't he not want that title?
-4-Where can I get really good info on wrestling schools?
-5-Why does WWF have no patience with new wrestlers (i.e. Public Enemy,
Beaver Cleavage, Dr Death, and so many more)
-6-can I apply for a job at your site
Thank you very much for your time,
1)Probably not.
2)I can see him possibly gaining I/C gold, maybe even the tag-team straps. I would not expect to see an immediate push, though.
3)It's all part of the angle.
4)The following links should provide you with all the details you're looking for: click here or try this one: click here
5)It is my belief that the WWF, sees that the fans aren't buying into the wrestler or gimmick and either releases the wrestler or attempts to build a new gimmick for the wrestler.
6)You'll have to talk to: "the world's greatest webmaster."
From:Angie
hey guys!!
I've got two questions that i hope you'll post...
1) my co-worker told me that my former supervisor's (whose is a las vegas policeman) arrested steve austin for some kind of narcotics possession in vegas. i thought i saw something along that lines, but i can't remember. any truth to that rumor?
2) with all the hype of the british bulldog returning to the ring, whatever happened to his partner that he had years back when both the bulldog and his partner had braids and came out with a bulldog as their manager? what was his partner's name?
thanks guys,
1)I live in Vegas, nothing was reported in the local media.
2)I believe you're referring to the "Dynamite Kid." It was reported that the two former tag-team champs now have legitimate heat between them. It has also been reported that the "Dynamite Kid" is in poor health.
From:Gordy
1)Do you guys have the slightest idea about the Bushwhackers whereabouts? Are they still wrestling?
2)I was also wondering if think that HBK's heel turn will result in more frequent appearances by him? I can't believe he allowed the bookers to put him in a stable. It's been a long time since he's commited to anything. HHH, Chyna, HBK, and the Posse...Damn, they're gonna take over the whole company!
Thanks.
1)The Bushwackers have been competing in various independent promotions. For more details check out their website click here .
2)I am sure the WWF would like nothing more than to have HBK become a more integral part of the scenes, even in a commissioner role. Whether HBK becomes more involved is still unknown at this time. There have even been some hints he may return to the ring, which I still don't see happening.
From: Keith Jarrell
Hey Rajah! I've got some questions I would like you, Kayfabe or Grandpa to
answer:
1.Was Fit Finley ever in the WWF. I think he used to be in that tag team
managed by Sunny, but I'm not sure. If so, who was his tag team partner.
They wore those exercise tights kind of. It's been bugging the hell out of
me.
2.Do you ever see Triple H becoming a face again? He's one of my favorite
wrestlers but I just don't like him as a heel. He's got good mic skills for
his heel gimmick, but he just seemed better as a face.
3.This thing about Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie. Will they be
starting bWo thing in the WWF. I recall someone saying that but I can't
remember who...
Thanks
1) You're confusing Fit with someone else. The team you're thinking of was called the Boddydonnas. Skip (Chris Candido) brought in his twin brother who's thirteen years older than him. Skip's "twin" Zip, was played by current WWF employee and former Heavenly Body, Dr. Tom Pritchard.
2) I think HHH comes off better as a heel. And with three huge faces in Austin, The Rock, and Foley, I wouldn't count on an HHH face turn anytime soon. However, over the course of almost every wrestlers' career, they go back and forth between face and heel multiple times, so I'm sure you'll eventually get your wish.
3) Certainly that is why they're in the same angle, but I don't think they'll actually make mention of the BWO.
From: Smackup 316
Great site Raj, my favorite. Here is a few things I wanted to say, please
post-
1-I'm no Dubbya Cee Dubbya fan, but I was watching Cinimax last night (hehe)
and I saw Buff Bagwell in a softcore pornmovie. I think it was called Return
to Savage Island or L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies.
2-Somebody said Kane has more Talent than The Undertaker. I just wanted to
say that that is the biggest load of smelly, stinky F*^%in bull@$%# I HAVE
EVER HEARD!!! Here are the reasons-
a-Kane copied all of Takers moves and his gimmick mainly comes from the
Undertaker.
b-Taker may be doing only punches and kicks as of late, but that's because
he's suffering from what can be the end of his career- both his hips hurt him
like hell. This man can do some technical wrestling (when he did, 6 month
fans said it was boring). He could fly like crazy (twice he jumped over the
top rope to the outside from in the ring!!! Once over flames in an inferno
match and once over the barrier that "protects the fans". Also, when he did
his flying clothesling, it was AMAZING. He would go over half the ring, and
he would be straight, landing on his chest with his feet in the air. And he's
also agile, name me one other big wrestler that can walk the rope.
c-Kane has barely any skills. The Undertaker is stronger (he was overpowered
by Kane to help Kanes gimmick last year), faster, more high flying. Kane's
flying clothesline looks like CRAP!!! Taker is heavier and he does it
better!!! Also Kane is shorter, just pay attention to those 3 inch soles on
his feet. Kane's a good wrestler, but nowhere near Undertaker. Now hit my
music!!!, wait, sorry, I mean please post this and tell me what you think.
1) Yep, I guess Buff was doing some porn. Something unsettling about everyones fascination with that...
2) You won't get any arguments from me. The Undertaker's been a tremendous wrestler with the WWF for nearly a decade now. Kane's gimmick just allows him to do some of the Undertaker's old moves though. I'll agree that the Undertaker was twice as better in his prime than Kane is right now.

Hey Rajah wuz up, great site I have a few questions for you to answer,please
pu this in your next mailbag.
1.Is Chyna SGT. Slaughters Daughter?
2.Is Brian Christopher Gay?
3.Is Nichole Bass really a man?
4.Do you ever think Kne will take off his mask in front of a live event?
5.Do you think Tori or Debra or somebody else will take off there close on a
PPV?
6.Has Debra ever taken off her close on Raw before?

I have some questons for your mailbag Rajah...
(1). What happened to King Kong Bundy, he was with the WWF from Wrestlemaina
Three, then he came back to the WWF in 1995, wheres he been since?
(2) In my opinion The WWF, is getting kinda boring. I mean HHH fights the
Rock like 500 hundred times, Stone Cold and the Undertaker fight alot, the
same with Kane & The Big Show, Everyone must have fought everyone once. Well
I'm getting really used to these matches, The Same matches over and over. And
to me its getting kind of boring. What do you think the WWF Should do to make
the same matches kinda look more exciting. I was thinking of bringing the
steel cage more often or special stipulations to the Main Event Matches.
(3) Please Put my 2 questons in the mailbag, I've been trying for a long time
now to get my questons in the mailbag
1) Bundy is currently wrestling in the independents.
2) Gimmick matches aren't the answer. Too many of them decreases their value. They become less special if there's one every week. Then they'd become the norm. More stipulations isn't the answer either. Too many of those get nausiating. The answer is... fresh faces. The WWF has the same main event matches over and over again because they're lacking in the main event department. Big Show and Kane can go into a main event role once in a while. Throw in a push for a guy like Billy Gunn, and eventually Chris Jericho and your problem is solved. All sorts of new angles could be developed. Kane vs. The Rock, Big Show vs. HHH, etc.
3) Done.
From: Carl
hi rajah i got some questions
1]do you think kane will ever unmask himself and show everyone that he is
isic yankem ...i think that would be pretty cool
2]was the show superstars ever bigger than raw
3]do you tink the rock wil be the next major face in the wwf...i think
he will an i think he will be in the main match at wrestle mania 16
challenging tripple h for the...what do you think?thanks your 1 fan
1) That's just not gonna happen. The WWF is not bringing back Isaac Yankem (who's old vignettes were great, by the way).
2) No way. Superstars was cool and all, but RAW is cable's highest reated show and comes to you live each week from different locations around the country. Superstars was on for an hour on Saturday afternoons and was taped in upstate New York somewhere. RAW is the most popular wrestling show in the history of television.
3) He could very well be. After Austin leaves the Rock is gonna become the number one guy. That might not happen by Wrestlemania XVI, though.
From: Jimbo
In the last mailbag a questiob came up soemthing like "Who has been in the WWF longest?"
The guy answered Undertaker but it has to be Shawn Michaels and even though he is a complete
jobber, the Brooklyn Brawler
I was talking about active wrestlers. Shawn Michaels has, in fact, been in the WWF since 1988. He also hasn't wrestled a match in a year in a half. Big Bossman also joined the WWF in '88, but left in '92, only to return last year. And let's not forget the British Bulldog. He's first came to the WWF in 1986. Then he left in '88, came back in '91, left in '93, came back in '94, left a few years ago... and now he's back again! Considering only active wrestlers, The Undertaker has had the longest-running current stint in the WWF.
From: Josh
i recently bought wrestlemania 12 and i noticed that 2 matches were missing
on that video. 1, The Huckster vs. The Nacho Man. and 2, the tag title match
between Skip & Zip and The Godwins. please tell me why those matches werent
on the tape. thanks
That's because those matches were wrestled prior to the event on the Free For All. By comparison, if you rented Wrestlemania XV, they wouldn't show Sunday Night Heat. You'd just get the matches that were actually on Pay-Per-View.
From: Joe
Hey guys!
I just got done reading the latest mailbag and it was great as usual. I have
a few questions and comments.
1)When the (in)famous May 19th 1996 MSG incident happened, was that ALSO
because it was Hall and Nash's last matches???? Because I don't remember
hearing about them wrtling any more times, since Hall appeared in WCW on May
27th.
2)When exactly did Hulk Hogan leave the WWF officially? I heard it was around
late-1993, but I thought he was still under contract in 1994..I'm not sure
3)Same as #2, but for Bobby Heenan...also, I think that the Royal Rumble 1994
was orginally scheduled to be McMahon-Heenan commentating, but since Heenan
had already left, they used Ted Dibiase instead.
4)In the previous mailbag, someone asked about the time in October 1997 when
the footage of the May 19th, 1996 MSG card was shown. I believe the question
they asked was if the footage being shown was a shoot or not, not the
incident itself.
5)Do you think The King gets pops when get walks down the isle to do
commentary? And if so, why?
And I have a few opinions on a few issues too.
1)I believe that Michaels WAS in on the Survivor Series "screwing" of Bret
Hart, as well as Triple H and a few others....I can tell that when Michaels
won the title, he wasn't really pissed, I know he was acting because I've
seen him get "mad" before, and I can tell he was faking....Also, however, I
do not believe Bret really got too screwed, because he knew he was going to
give up the title either way, as he had already agreed that it was his last
match. The original plan was to have him reverse the sharpshooter, as you can
see he was about to do, then DX and the Hart Foundation would come in, it
would be a big "schmoz", and the next night Bret would forfeit the title to
the WWF and leave. What do you think?
2)There was a question about commentators, and I'd like to give my opinion on
a few.
Gorilla-Ventura. They worked well together and did Wrestlemanias 1-6, as well
as other events. They weren't as good as......
Gorilla-Heenan. They are probably one of my favoratie teams of all time, as
they frequently argued, but made the broadcasts interesting. You can say the
same for McMahon-Heenan
Lawler-Ross. They are the best duo in a long time. They were especially great
at SummerSlam
Well, thats all......see ya!
1) I think Michaels was probably aware of what was going to happen. All I said last issue is that he claimed to Bret that he knew nothing.
Wow, you sure do like to write, huh? Good takes. To answer your questions:
1) Yes, it was the last night they wrestled in the WWF.
2) In June 1993, he wrestled his last match in the WWF. It is possible that his contract ran through the rest of the year.
3) That is accurate.
4) Oh, OK. In that case, I apologize. I don't personally recall the footage that was shown, so I can't answer that question.
5) Over the years, the chants of "Burger King" have turned into cheers. The King seems to get cheered a lot more than he used to. The fans seem to enjoy his commentary, so there's no reason to boo him.
2) I still say Gorilla and Heenan were the best duo, followed closely by Gorilla and The Body. The King and JR do a hell of a job today.
From: Test
Hey Raj and Grandpa, I have nothing to say to Kayfabe seeing how he was
sooooo rude to me last time because I dont like Jeff Jarrett. But Rajah man
you have a really good site. Keep it going!
1.)Where is Pepper from? I mean I feel so sorry for that dog! He is shaking
like everytime.
2.)Is Stone Cold Steve Austin gonna be out of the picture for awhile? I sure
hope so, I think Stone Cold Steve Austin is starting to get old! I mean hes a
great wrestler and all but hes getting old.
3.)Do you think Tori will win the Women's Title next? or do you think Luna
will?
4.)I think the Blonde Bytch Project with Stevie Richards and the Blue Meanie
has to do with Sunny (Tammy Lynn Sytch) or Tammy Lynn Bytch?
Oh come on, man. It was just a joke. All in good fun.
1) Yeah, this has to be a pretty bad experience for that poor dog. I'm surprised the ASPCA hasn't jumped down the WWF's throats yet. It's hard to say where exactly they got him from, but you can bet he's pretty well trained.
2) Hey we agree on something! I think Austin will be out awhile with his injury. Until his comeback, we'll see Helmsley, The Rock, and Mankind carry out the main storyline.
3) I think Tori has a better chance. They've been trying to push her towards it since before Wrestlemania. She's due to get it.
4) Yeah that's what everyone seems to think. It's definately hinting at something concerning them.
From: Zdravko Karadzic
In your latest installment of the Mailbag, you or Kayfabe said that Yokozuna and Mable fought only once resulting in a double count out.
That isn't true. I was a big fan of the WWF back in 94 and I wouldn't miss an episode of Superstars ( because I lived in Canada, I didn't get RAW )
and in one episode Yoko and Mable fought. Mable went for his second rope splash on Yoko but Yoko moved and then hit the Bonzai Drop on Mable.
I just thought I might point that out!
Thanks for the correction. I didn't remember that particular match on Superstars. Just the PPV match.
From: Titan Recluse
This is an awesome webpage and you two seem to know your stuff on the wwf
so I figured I would try and stump you two with these questions cause I sure don't know the answers.
Remember a while back, when the nation of domination was just getting
started, there was two rappers that would rap the song when they would
first come out.
A. What was there names?
B. Were they real wrestlers?
c. Where are they now?
Thanks
The two rappers in question are actual wrestlers.. their tag name is PG-13.. One's name is Wolfie-D and I forget the name of the other one. Last time I saw them, they were back in ECW (mid-time last year)
OK, thanks for the info. I am by no means an ECW expert, but if I'm correct don't PG-13 go way back in ECW? Seems like I was those names five years ago. I didn't know that they were the Nation's rappers. Good question, and thanks for the answers. Thanks to everyone else who e-mailed us with the same information as well. It is appreciated.

Hey Raj & everyone else running this site, it's the bomb! Here are my
questions, please post!
1. Is it just me or does Chyna look different from when she first
debuted in the WWF? If so, what happened?
2. Why is Chyna the 9th wonder of the world? I mean, who/ what's 8th?
3. Will Jericho ever turn face?
4. Do you think DX will get back together and if so who will be in it?
1) Lots and lots of plastic surgery.
2) Andre the Giant
3) Eventually in years to come, I'm sure he will at some point, but not any time soon.
4) My wish from the beginning is that the old original DX would get back together. And it's looking like that's already happened to some degree.

Hi Rajah, great site. I have some questions, I know they sound a little
mark-ish, but I don't know...
1) Is Jim Ross's arm really broken, or is that just an angle?
2) Stephanie and Test aren't really getting married, right?
3) The Rock's eyebrows are so perfect every time he does the People's
Eyebrow. Are his eyebrows painted on like Hollywood Hogan's beard?
Please put this in the Mailbag!
1) Just an angle.
2) No, and this is the most popular question of the week. So before anyone else sends it in, read my answer: No!
3) No, the Rock doesn't paint on his eyebrows.
From: hesukia
I have a few questions but first I have to say your web site kicks
@$$
1) Are Test and Stephanie romantically involved in real life?
2)What happened to the Oddities?
3)What happened to Public Enemy,L.O.D.2000, and TOO MUCH?
I would really appreciate a reponse.
THANKS
1) Read the above question.
2) Golga was fired, Kurrgan and Silva were sent to Mexico to work on their skills, and Luna had been suspended but has recently returned to TV.
3) Public Enemy was fired, LOD 2000 are injured on currently under "creative evaluation", and Brian Christopher of Too Much is sidelined with a leg injury, which has consequently postponed the teams' push.

hey grandpa kayfebe and raj great site. i bought tickets to the october pay
per view no mercy in cleveland oh. i was wondering if you can in some way
predict what matches might take place at no mercy. ppleeeeeease put this on
your mail bag
To tell you the truth, right now it's a little early to predict the matches for September's PPV, let alone October's. If I had to guess I'd say HHH, The Rock, and possibly Mankind would be involved in the main storyline. Austin may not be back by then, but you never know. I would imagine Chris Jericho would wrestle, but with all the guys he's picking on it's hard to say who.
From: Michael Johnson
Hey I just finished reading the latest mailbag and one of the questions
was about on the Rock's home video, why was he saying he wanted
Slaughter to get his tag title. Well the reason is back in July when
Austin and Undertaker were the tag champs, Rocky and Owen had won a
match on HEAT the night before against Kane and Mankind to become the
number one contenders. The scene on that tape is at the very start of
RAW where Rock and Owen demanded the match right then instead of the
main event. Austin and Taker didn't show (right away) so Rock said they
forfeited the titles by default. Then Slaughter came out to argue and
the segment we see on the tape ensued. Austin later came out and got
tore apart by the Nation for the record. Just wanted to help clear that
up.
OK, thanks for the clarification. All I knew is that the Rock never won the tag titles. I didn't know that was the incident the video was referring to. Thanks for clearing that up.

3. do they have kids. ( if so what are the wifes names and how old are their
kids and how many do they have ? thanx
1) No, I'm sorry. I don't have their middle names. I'll look into that for you though.
2) Yes, but not to each other.
3) I am pretty sure they each have children, and I think they each have more than one. They can't be very old, though. No older than 8 or 9, I'd say.

Since I have been using this e-mail address, none of my letter have made it to the mailbag,
but, anyways, onto my question.
I am sure that many people that visit your site are also big fans of Late Night With Conan
O'Brien, I know that I am. Last night's show (The 25th of August) was a re-run. However,
the show featured Adam Sadler, The Insult Joke Dog, and VINCE MACMAHON. Now, with the
entire WWF going public thing with stock, and how Vinnie Mac cannot premote his company for
50 since going public, could this possibly put him in a lawsuit? This was mainly a decision
by the staff and crew of Late Night, because both Conan and Andy are on vacation...
anyways, again, could this possibly put Vince in a lawsuit because of the violation of the
50 day penalty thing? Or, would it just be credited as a mistake by the cast and crew of
Late Night?
Thanks Raj, Gramps, Or Kay.
Yeah, I caught that episode the first time it was on. Pretty good show... for me to POOP ON! Seriously though, that re-run won't have any effect on the WWF going public. For instance, the WWF has a commercial that still airs in which the End of an Era match is mentioned, and they show a quick clip of Vince. Same deal there. As long as Vince isn't shown in any NEW footage on television, he'll be alright.

Hey. I'll b brief.
1. I know he's leaving for a bit soon, but does the WWF have any plans
of giving Ken Shamrock a taste of the gold? He deserves something?
2. On a minor note, kane has an excellent fanbase, mic skills or not, yet the WWF never gives him a world title
shot. whats up with that?????
1) Shammy won't get any gold before he leaves. When he comes back I'm sure he'll have a great chance at winning a title, but right now it would be pointless to push a guy that's about to leave.
2) I htink Kane will get his time. He still has years ahead of him. Right now, he's in the middle of this X-Pac/Big Show/Undertaker angle. After that's over I think he'll get more of a singles push.

I just finished reading the last edition of the mailbag, and I saw some
comment about RAW being held in a lot of upstate New York places a few
years ago. Well, I live in Binghamton, and the WWF used to come here
every summer but hasn't for a few years now. WCW and ECW have both come
within the last two months, but no sign of the WWF! I think the reason
is that the WWF is doing such great business that they are sticking to
only the largest cities, but I still want to ask; do you have any other
ideas why the WWF doesn't come here any more? Thanks for reading!
Yep, the WWF is extremely popular right now. So, they're going all around the world and hitting all the biggest cities. No time for the Civic Centers in Binghamton or Poughkipsee anymore! As always you can check Rajah's WWF Schedule for further details on when/if the WWF is coming to your area.

I have a question that has stumped me for some time.
A few years ago, maybe in 95, I taped, what I think was this WrestleMania special. Every so
often, when I want to take a jump back into the past, I check out some of my old WWF tapes.
Anyways, there was a ad (on this tape) for the "New WWF Generation" or something. There is
a guy who had another jobber in a sleeper and had this big, crazy grin on his face. Now, I
remeber this guy. He was like "A MadMan" or something. He had a little black diamond
inprinted on his forehead. His special was some sort of sleep hold. When ever he put it on
an opponent the guy would victim would fall alseep, and that guy would stat going crazy,
with this HUGE grin on his face. Please, tell me. What was that guys name, if you remember
who I am talking about?
I'm pretty sure you're talking about Waylon Mercy who was also known in other promotions as Dan Spivey. As was mentioned in the last mailbag, he has since retired.
I seen a few questions concerning the warloard. He had a heart attack
and is dead.
I thought I'd heard that, but didn't want to jump the gun in case I was wrong. Thank you for the conformation.
hey! nice site ya got going...i just got one question for the mailbag...
when undertaker first came into the wwf, he was known as kane the undertaker
right? if so, why didnt ted dibiase object to the name then? because now he
won't go to wwf because of kane, as he thinks its afetr cain and abel from the
bible...i dont know. was dibiase part of the wwf when the udnertaker came? thanx
for answering!
Yes, DiBiase was in the WWF at the time. In fact (storyline-wise), the Million Dollar Man is the one that brought the Undertaker to the WWF. DiBiase didn't object to the name then because that was before he become a born again christian. Also, I don't know that he objects to the name Kane as much as he does to some of the storylines and language the WWF uses.
someone wrote asking about phantasio, and kayfabe asked for more info, and i
have some: Phantasio was played by the guy who played the Spellbinder in the USWA...i
remember when Sid was USWA champ, Spellbinder would run-in and save Sid's
title almost every time Sid had a match. I hope that helps.
Cool. Lots of clarifications this week in the mailbag. That's what I like to see. Never hesitate to send us info that we didn't know. Thanks a lot BowB4DaLLy.
Hi this question is for Rajah and Kayfabe. I was reading your last
mailbag and someone had asked who you htought were the 5 greatest WWF
champions of all time. You both had answered and Bret as #1...... and as
I am a fan of Bret I wasa wondering what is the reasoning behind ranking
Hart above Hogan.... I mean don't you remember the days of
HULKIMANIA!!!!! That contributed in large part to making the WWF what it
is today. He made the popularity. I would appresiate you you could
respond in your mailbag.......P.S. Austin is a scank !!
Of course I remember the days of Hulkamania. The way I look at it is this: Either way you rank them, Hulk and Bret are 1 and 2. They're 5 time champs (a once unapproachable feat), and they're the most recognizable champs ever. They each did a ton for the belt. Hulk was more popular, Bret was the best technical wrestler I've ever seen. You can make a case for either one of them- I went with Bret. I didn't think much; it was just a quick little ranking.
Dear Kayfabe,
You said that the Justin Credible was never part of the Kliq.That's not
necessarily true.Justin Credible's real name is Peter Polaco.He used to be
Aldo Montayo from the WWF,and I do remember him being part of the "The
Kliq."So the Kliq is a SIX men team which include :Michael Hickenbottom
(Shawn Michaels),Kevin Nash (Diesel),Scott Hall (Razor Ramon), Sean Waltman
(The 1-2-3 Kid or X-Pac) ,and Peter Polaco (Aldo Montayo currently known as
Justin Credible).
OK, my mistake. I didn't realize Credible was part of the Clique, but many of you including my partner, have informed me that he is.
If your question didn't make it here, one of two things is likely up. I either did not know the answer or have not gotten to your email yet. Also, it may be
that your question has an answer which is found elsewhere on the page. The next Mailbag will go up sometime next week. Later.
