March-29-1991

Hi, my name is Deion Porter, I' am a 20 year old student at the University of Virginia majoring in Print Journalism. I' am also a huge wrestling fan, growing up in Virginia I grew up in NWA country. My favorite superstar of the NWA was always Ricky Steamboat, because he was so fluient and smooth in the ring. Having many relatives who lived in the northeast U.S, I often went to WWF events during my visits to the northeast. Now all of my friends growing up always loved the WWF faces like Hogan, The Warrior and so and so, on the other hand always liked the heels in the WWF with Ted DiBiase and

Ravishing Rick Rude my favorites, I also liked guys like Randy Savage, Mr. Perfect and Rick Martel. There were some faces in the WWF that I liked such as The Hart Foundation, especially Bret and Tito Santana. Throughout my time in college I have been the head sports writer for the campus newspaper. From time to time I have wrote an article about wrestling, like the time I wrote about Starrcade 1988 which was held in Norfolk, Virginia. One night after a Virginia Cavalier basketball game some of my journalism buddies who also were wrestling fans and myself were in one of the student lounges shooting pool when we got to talking.

Me-"What 'yall think about the Royal Rumble?"

Andrew Powell-It was weak, the Rockers-Orient Express match wasn't bad but everything else sucked, espeically The Warrior losing to Slaughter."

Isaac Ward-"At least Hogan won the Rumble, hopefully he can take the title off Slaughter."

Maurice Porter (Deion's twin brother)-"At least my boys, Shawn and Marty won. DP I know you happy seeing your boy Savage cost the Warrior the title."

Me-"Of course, it was great when he hit The Warrior in the head with that septor, as Bobby Heenan would say, Savage waffled The Warrior."

The conversation continued like this for a few games until Andy came up with an idea, a weekly newsletter talking about the wrestling world mainly the WWF the could be given to students on campus and people in the city of Charlottesville, VA (Where UVA is located) who are wrestling fans. After some more talking we decided that are first newsletter would be given out after Wrestlemania VII. The name of the newsletter, the CWR which stands for Cavalier Wrestling Report.

World Wrestling Federation Championship

Cage Match

Bret Hart© Vs. Sycho Sid

Winner: Bret Hart, sets up Bret vs HBK at Mania

Shawn Michaels Vs. Owen Hart

Winner: HBK, same as above

Number one contenders match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship

Razor Ramon Vs. Sean Waltman

Winner: Razor, after the great match he had earlier in the year vs Goldust, it would set up a match at Mania that could be even better

Ahmed Johnson and Godwinns Vs. Steve Austin, Al Snow and Crush

Winners: Austin, Snow, Crush, Million Dollar Corporation seems to be picking up steam and a victory here will continue that

Jake Roberts and Yokozuna Vs. British Bulldog and Vader

Winners: Bulldog & Vader, Cornette's interference will play a huge role

World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship

Smoking Gunns© Vs. Marc Mero and Hunter Hearst Helmsley

Winners: Mero & HHH, it gets HHH his first gold in the WWF and continues to develop the HHH & Mero relationship

Free For All Match

Mabel Vs. Bob Holly

Winner: Holly, I don't know why but I think he's gonna win, Mabel probably gets counted out

*Plus Diesel and Undertaker are scheduled to go face to face!*

Tie Breakers

1. What will be the opening Pay Per View match? (Free For All doesn't count!)

Razor-Waltman

2. What match will get the best quality for workrate?

Owen-HBK

3. What match will get the worst quality for workrate?

Mabel-Holly

4. Will anyone debut?

No

5. Who will be the loser in the six men tag match? (Who will get pinned or submit)

Phinnous Godwin (however you spell it)

Great start so far, I like your style in which the results are done, I hope that you give Bret a long title regin.

Me predictions:-

Royal Rumble Match - Featuring Yokozuna, Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund, Jerry Lawler, Mr. Perfect, Rick Martel, 'Chilling' Charles Wright, Ted DiBiase, Jim Duggan, Owen Hart, IRS, Lex Luger, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, The Mountie, Jake Roberts, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, The Undertaker, Marty Jannetty, Crush, Kamala, Fatu, Samu, Big Bossman, Randy Savage, Virgil, Jerry Saggs, Brian Knobbs, and a mystery superstar

Winner: Yokozuna, It's gonna take a whole lotta guys to get him out and I don't see that happening, plus winning the Rumble and defeating Savage in the same night makes him to be the biggest threat to Bret Hart.

WWF Championship - Bret Hart© vs. Ric Flair

Winner: Bret, A victory over the Nature Boy at a big time event should validate Bret as Champion.

Hulk Hogan vs. Lex Luger

Winner: Hogan, it probably would help the company more for Luger to go over just to establish another top level heel but Hogan ain't gonna let it happen. The match in terms of quality ain't gonna be good to start with but if Hogan has to lose to Luger it could get down right ugly.

Randy Savage vs. Yokozuna

Winner: Yoko, same as Bret, helps to validate him.

WWF Tag Team Championships - The Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc.

Winners: Stenier Brothers, I feel one title will change hands and this is the one, plus with no other tag teams this sets up a Wrestlemania rematch.

WWF Intercontinental Championship - Bob Backlund vs. Shawn Michaels

Winner: Michaels, the match will be a good one and Backlund has the expierence but Michaels will out cheat him in the end.

Tatanka vs. Jake Roberts

Winner: Roberts, Tatanka is undeafeated but lets face it, he's not good in the ring or on the mic. Plus Roberts can be used down the line as another top heel and he's got the DDT.

The Nasty Boys vs. Natural Disasters

Winners: The Disasters, this will be the piss break of the night for the fans cause they ain't gonna miss anything.

1) Who will enter the Royal Rumble at #1? Rick Martel

2) Who will enter the Royal Rumble at #30? Yokozuna

3) Who is the Mystery Superstar? British Bulldog

4) Who will finish second in the Royal Rumble? The Undertaker

5) Who will eliminate the most superstars in the Royal Rumble? The Undertaker

I like the backstory a lot, especially due to the fact that Hogan got screwed aftert all the people he's screwed. It's also ironic that Bret Hart would be involved in a screw job. Hopefully you will do what WCW didn't do in real life and that's use The Hitman properly, will be looking forward to the next update.
