Ringside Review: Injury bug bites several superstars
Kevin Nash will be sidelined for several weeks after suffering a torn right bicep on “Raw” three weeks ago.
Dr. James Andrews, the surgeon who operated on Triple H, performed the 90-minute surgery last week. Nash is now recovering at his home in Atlanta.
Triple H has suffered a small fracture on his left kneecap, but shouldn’t miss any matches. Hulk Hogan still has a rib injury he got in his match with The Rock. Kanyon still has about six weeks before he comes back from knee surgery. Benoit has been in two matches in the Heartland Wresting Association, trying to get his timing back after missing the last several months with a neck injury.
• Most everyone knows that Goldberg went to school at the University of Georgia, and that Faarooq (Ron Simmons) went to Florida State. But did you know that Bret Hart went to Mont Royal College of Film to be a director?
By the way the Rock (Miami) and Lex Luger (U. of Florida) also went to school in Florida, and Hogan went to South Florida, majoring in finance and management. Bradshaw went to Texas Christian University.
• In the storyline for “Raw,” Ric is in charge. But in the real world, Flair has very little to say about what takes place once the show starts. Vince and Jim Ross are the real ones in charge.
• Rey Mysterio has been sent a WWF contract, the question is, will he sign it? He has already said no to one offer. Eddy Guerrero has been told this is his last chance, and to “do what he is told to do, or leave.” Jim Ross had set up some radio time for him, and he didn’t show up.
• Rob Van Dam has found out, like others before him, that if it isn’t in your contract, don’t count on it. He says Ross told him he would be in the main event at the next pay-per-view. It won’t happen.
RVD makes $156,000 a year plus $100 a day when on the road. I think he should be happy, and I know that Ross thinks so, too.
• Tonight at Jake’s, The Moon Dog and Gypsy Joe go toe-to-toe in a barbed wire match. The Victory Twins will put their OWF title belts on the line against Superstar John Noble and Donnie Eaton, with “Big Mark” serving as special guest referee.
In other action, Jailbird, with mistress Sexy Sally, takes on Shawn Wave, Vicious Vandy faces Big E, and the Southern Hillbilly squares off against Desperado.
Tickets are $7 at the door, children 5 and under are admitted free. Bell time is set for 8 p.m.
