Well, it's the Big Darraconda, heartthrob to MILLIONS! I know this month's column is late, but hey, it's not easy being the next Fabien! Ever since your's truly, got his sweet, sweet ass on TV, it's been nothing but panties & lovin'! Jake Rush, eat your heart out! I got you're "Dr. Peepee" right here, you mid-western white bread hayseed!

~Well, a big show the upcoming Monday Night Inferno will be! Lot's are set to go down, and one of the men coming out looking HUGE will be Lightning Mountain! Whoever thought LM was getting misused since dropping the World strap, won't think so! STW has a little BOOKING GENIUS coming up, for this guy on Inferno. Considerable heat should be put onto his upcoming match with the Cuban Warlord.

~IF IT HAPPENS! It seems USW front office personnel, seem to be taking the jabs STW has took to "work this shoot", personally. Rumor has it, they may pull their top attraction right of the card! Could we see Chris Crono taking his place, last minute? It's possible. Contrary to current storylines, Crono left the company on very god terms.

~While we speak of USW, Midas has now officially RESIGNED with STW, after shocking us all, EVEN ME, by returning to STW, on the last Inferno. It seems, after Midas and Titan, former STW tag champions, Muscle Inc., agreed to breakup the team, all the company's plans centered around Titan, and Midas took an out clause in his contract. He signed a 3 year deal, with the company.

~And his former partner in the double world tag championship winning combo, The Celestials, Quasar, still has no timeline for when he can re-enter the ring. He blew out his knee at last year's SuperClash III in He and Crono's tag team ladder bout with the Rush Brothers *who can't seem to get over without miao!* He's been sidelined since. His doctors are furious he continues to climb in the ring, and take bumps, but Quasar lives this business, so good luck docs! Only a decree from the IWF itself could get him off TV.

~The Mighty Hitman continues to be pushed heavy as new World champion, as you'll see Monday on Inferno, but the fans aren't into him as much, right now. It could be argued, that it's because STW booked his winning of the title, right out of nowhere, but I feel it's his opponents, thus far. Mercury isn't exactly over like gang busters (for a new main eventer), despite fan support, and Kane just lacks that selling power. Plus, Lucien is a major heel, and having these two work at the upcoming PPV together, isn't too smart. As long as he's giving the ball to run with, there's no way it can be a mistake, putting the belt on this superstar.

~Really SUPER news *pardon the pun* is here about SuperClash! The fourth *SC IV* in the history of the STW extravaganza, takes place this year, at the First Union Center, in Philly, the site that the first EVER STW champion was crowned! PLUS, it's on the night, STW celebrates it's 50th cycle! It's being hyped ALREADY as the biggest event in STW history, and with the roster this company has right now, it could very well surpass last year's event! STW has tons of plans. Already rumored right now, as possibilities for the showcase event are, Big Dredd Vedder Vs. Blaze Colton *If Vedder hangs around, see below* Christian Cross Vs. Lucien Champion, and the main event (can you believe THOSE aren't going to be the big one!?) could be Lightning Mountian Vs. The Mighty Hitman for the championship, witch this reporter will mark out for! Also, STW is REALLY high on starting a ladies world title, and would like to claim it at the showcase. They already have the drawing power, with Nightshade, Lady Scarlet, Lisa Lovely, Joli, Trinity *who is still under contract, despite now being on TV* and women that can ACTUALLY work, Xena, Judy Sickmiller, the recently signed Sunny Beach & Amy Sensation, as well as the option of importing talent from Japan. It is also HIGHLY rumored, that Kane Nevermor may have a retirement match at the show his gimmick/career as been tangled up with since it began, especially since his health as went down hill since being put in main events with the somewhat stiff Mighty Hitman, and Lightning Mountain, who's workrate was really almost to much for him to keep up with. It's going to be HUGE!

~~Well, Big Dredd Vedder's career in STW, is still in the air. He's testing the waters in both USW, and the newly STW-bought CPW, in order to land more money with STW. Althought, STW looks at this as business as usual, the STW locker room, isn't to happy with him, as they look at it that STW basically pulled his career out of the toilet, after career mistakes in the defunct GWA and FWA promotions.

~~Japanese women's star, Megumi Fukuda, is seriously considering coming into STW, if this women's division happens, so she could be a huge addition to the roster, and could show up in time for SC IV.

~~Midnight, who has been off TV, due to a knee injury, may return to TV as soon as the upcoming PPV, Nothern Aggression.

~~The recently signed Justin Stone, JT Stone, and Sunny Beach, from the newly defunct LVW, will be backstage at the upcoming Inferno. It's unknown if they will be on TV.

~~The Dream Team, and Gary McAdams, seem to have good careers ahead, in STW, as the company is really high on all 3, especially McAdams, who got over great on last Inferno's Steel City Rumble.

~~The Moral Elite clique in STW, has gotten over big, putting heat on both Ajax, and Hypnos for the first time ever. It has also rejuvinated Lucien Champion's desire, and gave Thomas Younger, the most under rated talker around, a reason to return to TV, since chosing to work in the front office.

~~I'd like to close this month's column, with a look at the upcoming Nothern Aggression PPV, in Toronto, witch is only days off. Here are my picks for the matches that are 100% signed

~Ajax Vs. Kaos Knight. Each good workers, but a mistake. Ajax isn't a big enough heel yet, to carry Kaos' lack of charisma. Good ring work, but not enough build up to enticee the crowd. I pick Ajax as winner, since I can't see him jobbing right after going over AVATARR!

~Rocky Austin Vs. Kabuki Dragon. Basically the same as above, except nither man is over, and has yet to be in their respective careers. Interesting to see if they pull all the stops. They could tear the house down. I can't see Rocky losing this one.

~The Scrub Club Vs. Dave Howard & Tex Williams. It should be interesting to watch, but may be a dud as none of these guys mesh. Interesting booking, though. I'm going with Howard & Tex, as the fans don't know how to react to the SC's gimmick, yet.

~Hypnos Vs. Avatarr Vs. Midas. If they job Hypnos with him actually getting over, they need their brain boxes examined!

~Christian Cross Vs. Blaze Colton. I don't care! I'm a mark for both, and have wanted this match FOREVER!

~Lightning Mountain Vs. Cuban Warlord. I don't see anyway USW's man would be booked the winner.

~Rushes Vs. Controlled Chaos Vs. Blade Runners. I see the Runners coming out on top. HUGE tag heels. *Rushes suck!* and I hear the unmasking will happen! I can't wait!

~Hitman Vs. Mercury Vs. Lucien Vs. Kane. Hitman HAS to win this. His title victory will be all for naught, otherwise. STW MUST denie the urg to gave Champion the belt in Canada.

~SUCK ON THAT, SLAPPY!
