in an expensive-looking robe. He then
took the microphone from the ring
announcer and said, “Cut the music.
For all you lazy, out-of-shape, Lin
coln losers, keep the noise down while
I take off my robe, so the ladies can
look at what they wished they could
have.”
From the crowd’s response, not
too many of the ladies were impressed
with what they saw. Then abruptly
from the dressing room ,4 4 Hacksaw
came, along with his trademark two
by four raised high in the air.
The match was a typical grudge
match. It went back and forth with
each wrestler exchanging damaging
blows. And whenever Rude would
hurt “Hacksaw,” he wouldn’t lake
advantage of the situation, but would
stop and pose for the women. Again
and again and again.
The match wore on and on, until
“Hacksaw” was able to use one of
Rude’s mistakes to his advantage and
pinned him.
The next match was a tag team
bout that definitely was the most boring
of all. It pitted half the Orient Express
and Mr. Fugi vs. Mark Young and Pcz
Whatley. Evidently, the other half of
the Orient Express was sick or some
thing, because Mr. Fugi is their man
ager and is getting much too old and
out of shape to wrestle anymore. Their
opponents, Young and Whatley, the
good guys, came into the ring with a
burst of energy and displayed it by
break dancing.
The match went on for too long,
until finally, Young pinned the Ori
ent Express and put an end to this
anemic showing.
After the match was over, the ring
announcer again, for the third time,
plugged the WWF wrestling maga
zine and the WWF sales counters out
in the lobby.
The next match featured two dis
tinctively different tag teams, The
Rockers vs. Powers of Pain. Powers
of Pain, the bad guys, are, to say the
very least, quite a sight to sec. They
arc two ovcrly-muscular men clad in
black leather, fur, claws and chains to
go along with their mohawks and
huge goatees. The Rockers, the good
guys, ran into the ring with about as
much energy and enthusiasm as they
would have running to the record
store to buy the new Poison tape.
These guys have long hair, pretty
faces and wear brightly-colored ban
dannas.
The tag team match was typical of
any other Rockers match. Once again,
they did everything in a fast fury of
togetherness. Double drop-kicks,
double clotheslines, double everything.
Luckily, total pandemonium broke
out, and the Powers of Pain were dis
qualified for using a chair on one of
the Rockers.
Probably the most revealing match
of the whole evening was the last. It
pitted “The American Dream” Dusty
Rhodes vs. “Macho King” Randy
Savage. “Macho King,’ ’ the bad guy,
was led to the ring by his manager,
“Sensational Queen” Sherri. The
“Macho King’s” attire was royally
extravagant, but Sherri was the center
of attention in her black skirt, com
plete with stockings and garters. “The
American Dream,” the good guy,
was led to the ring by his manager,
Sapphire. He and Sapphire were
wearing their usual black-with-yel
low-polka-dot outfits.
After all the hoopla had died down,
the match finally got started. It went
much as expected. Back and forth,
back and forth, each wrestler ex
changing blow for blow. But the real
fun was watching Sherri and Sap
phire yell at each other and eventu
ally all four of them go nuts. And
while Sherri was getting beat up by
Sapphire, her skirt slowly inched its
way up further and further, until she
was mooning the entire crowd. But
that didn’t stop her for a second.
Needless to say, “Macho King”
was disqualified for attempting to use
a chair against “The American
Dream.”
After an exciting night of WWF
wrestling at its best, it is sad to say
that the highlight of the night was
Sherri in her underwear making a
mockery of herself.
Hulk Hogan would be ashamed.

tion of his life. Neat.
At least the movie points out the
dangers of taking strangers home.
The plot is not very convincing.
One might question why Alex hates
Michael, and why Michael picks this
guy up in the first place. Or, for that
matter, why any of this is happening.
The only redeeming value of the film
is to finally see Alex get what he
deserves.
The actors, at least, do a good job
with their roles. James Spader is
convincing as the well-meaning
Michael. His descent into ncar-mad

to watch.
Rob Lowe is totally over the edge
as the really bizarre Alex. Toward the
end of this film, one begins to wonder
