  • December8,1999 SPORTS 15 fsnifafioti is fie besf tiaffeiy Well, it seems that the new creative powers ofthe WCW are doing their job of rearranging WCW's image into a WWF clone. However, WCW's new look, is more like the WWF's proverbial "red-headed step-child." The only changes that Vince Russo (the head of WCW's creative department) has made are remakes of old WCW angles and blatant rip-offs of WWF storylines. Example 1, Oklahoma: Not only is this a blatant parody of Jim Ross, but also Russo is even displaying the same gimmick of a disgruntled employee. And having OK imitate Ross's Palsy is just plain wrong. Example 2, Buzzkill: I know that Buzz is Road Dogg's brother, but this is the most blatant rip-off I have ever seen. Buzz's music is just a slower version of The New Age Outlaws, and Buzz's antics have "Road Dogg" written all over them. Example 3, Jeff Jerrett: There is absolutely no difference between WWF Jeff and WCW Jeff. The only real difference is more string music - or the many more guitar shots in WCW. WCW needs to stop with the cloning and start from the ground up with some original storylines and new types of gimmicks. The gimmick with Larry Zabysco and Curt Hennig last Monday was very well put together and made for a great match, but storylines like these are few and far between in World Championship Wrestling. It reminds me of an old saying: "If you put a million monkeys in a room with typewriters, sooner or later you will have a copy of Shakespeare's Hamlet". Right now, I think it would take the monkeys considerably less time to come up with an episode of Nitro. WWF is doing very well as of late. With the surprise "marriage" between HHH and Stephanie McMahon and Mankind's new feud with Al Snow, WWF shows no signs of slowing down despite the PTC's attack on the federation's "morality." I finished Mick Foley's book this week and all I can say is wow! For anyone who is remotely curious about the hard life that is professional wrestling, I strongly recommend that you read this book. After reading this.book, I have a new and improved respect for professional wrestlers and the risks they take on behalf of sports entertainment. Servo Says: "VergessenSienicht,bitte, mein ohr in der Plastik Tasche zu bringen. -A German phrase quoted in his book that was spoken by Mick Foley (yes, he does speak fluent German) after a brutal match against Vader in Berlin, which translates, "Please don't forget to bring my ear in the plastic bag."
