  • sports February 4,1998 f by Greg Iredel Welcome back to the Scoop. Did you notice how I took out Fish and Alex 'The Movie Guy" last week? The cast from MTV's "Road Rules" got a wrestling lesson from WWF tag team The Headbangers. It will probably air 600 times this week. On Raw, Degeneration X came to the ring campaigning for a Tyson/Austin bout at Wrestlemania 14. Stone Cold stormed to the ring and got in Shawn Micheals' face. He showed appreciation for the support but reminded Micheals of the title shot he won at the Royal Rumble. Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack both brought dumpsters full of weapons out to their no-holds-barred match. Jack piledrived Charlie into a metal trashcan. This match went everywhere. Jack jumped off the Titantron big screen, elbowing Charlie, who was lying in a dumpster. The New Age Outlaws, Billy Gunn and Road Dog, locked the two in the dumpster and pushed it 15 feet off the en trance stage. Ambulances were brought to transport them to a hospital as all the WWF superstars wanted to get the Outlaws. Sunny was even crying. The whole thing was touching and almost believable, but it did take up the first hour of Raw. Owen Hart got abused by Dx and The New Age Outlaws after he defeated Gunn. The Outlaws were going to throw Hart off the stage, but were stopped by WWF officials. Mark Mero again embarrassed his lovely manager Sable, who was wearing a revealing outfit to say the least. How many breast enhancements can a woman get any way? Mero sent her to the back and brought out Gold Dust dressed like Marilyn Manson (yuk). Cain came out and was in the process of attacking a ring announcer when Vader appeared. Vader said he was going to put Cain's fire out and sprayed him with a fire extinguisher. These two are getting a good rivalry together. Stone Cold faced Road Dog in the main event. Austin was bumrushed by Dx and tied up in the ring ropes. Micheals was degrading Austin until Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie came out still in hospital gowns. Jack was carrying his IV with him. I think McMahon is trying to start some major conflicts for the upcoming Wrestlemania 14. The next WWF PPV is on February 15, not Valentine's Day as reported last week. What if Cornea's next NWAguy is RIC FLAIR? Just a thought.

Odds & Ends by Don Costello Congrats!: To Catamount forward Bobby Phillips for being named Southern Conference Player of the Week for his play against Davidson and ETSU. Go B.J.!!! Dammit, dammit, dammit: Both men's and women's basketball teams lost to Appalachian State, again. And guess what? That damned "Beat Appalachian" sign was hanging from the White House. If it's still there for baseball and we lose to the Goons, I'm gonna rip it down and burn it on the UC lawn. Get a Buzz!!: It seems that Appalachian State Head Coach Buzz Peterson cannot say three sentences without making a reference to his alma mater, the University of North Carolina. Hey, Buzz, you're not in Chapel Hill anymore. You're in Boone. Get over it!! Conspiracy Theory: Speaking of the Tar Heels, they beat both Clemson and Wake Forest last week to maintain their number two ranking in preparation for the matchup with top-ranked Duke on Thursday. In the Clemson game, the Tigers were called for so many fouls that they had to finish the game with four players and still only lost to UNC by nine. Wake Forest held a 17-point advantage before Carolina came back to win. The problem: Wake was never in the shooting bonus because Carolina was called for only ten fouls the entire game. Four were by Ndiaye. My theory is that the ACC executives called the referees for the two games and told them to protect the Tar Heels' ranking by not allowing them to fall to Clemson or Wake. With the exception of Duke and the Tar Heels, the ACC is really hurting for another team to step up and take charge of the third spot in the conference, and the #1 vs. #2 match:up is big for the ratings, especially since the Raycom feed is being played on ESPN2. Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. Carolina Connection: The same referees must have been working the App State/ WCU game Monday night. The Goons were whistled for only two fouls the final 13:21 of regulation and the 5 minute overtime. Tell me how ASU erased a 12-point deficit, as tired as they were, with two aggressive players like Joel Fleming and Bobby Phillips leading the Catamounts. It's impossible. Phil Ford, a Carolina assistant coach was at the Ramsey Center that night to coach the UNC junior varsity team. Coincidence? I think not! Get a Buzz II!!: Buzz Peterson said that Dean Smith called him last week to tell him that the Goons' zone defense was wrong. "Coach Smith told me what adjustments to make in the zone and it confused me and all the players," said Buzz. Well, Buzz, take a lesson from that and learn how to coach your team on your own. Call the Cops: In the crowd at the App State game Monday night were the two worst cases of child abuse I have ever seen: two kids in Appalachian State jerseys. They're mentally scarred for life.
