I'm Rudy Seitzer, and welcome to CSWA Grapevine, where we track down the rumors running rampant here in the world of wrestling. As always, I have to start with a standard disclaimer: we cannot verify any of the rumors reported here. Some may be true, some may be outright false...but they've all been passed to me by various sources. So don't come crying to Rudy...got it?
First off, the return to the CSWA of both "The
Missile" Mickey Benedict and "Muppet Kid" Timmy Windham.
Both men have been tight-lipped over where they've spent these last few months, though
Timmy has obviously not been in a grave somewhere. Former CSWA World Champion Troy Windham
could not be reached for comment.
Dante Inferno's mysterious manager, Silky Rose, was seen going in and out of the locker
room of "The Black Army." If these two were to combine talents....
HUGE congratulations are in order to "Daredevil" Mark Vizzack as he took the
title from "Hurricane" Eddy Love at Elvis Lives last Sunday. However, the
festivities were short lived, as HORNET, of all people, turned his back. Joining him,
however, was the manager of the NEW US Champion, Eli Flair. My sources tell me that Flair
has had no part in this betrayal, and his future with Poison Ivy may be in doubt.
Sammy Benson's dismissal leaves a gap in the CSWA broadcast team. Merritt and Thomas have
been scheduling auditions for his replacement. As of now, still no word on what leverage
Sammy had on Merritt to have kept him in place THIS long. Benson has been barred from all
future CSWA events and has a 200 foot restraining order on him from Co-Commisioner
Merritt. Richard Dawson may have been offered a contract.
All those CSWA employees who have had a few good laughs at Ms. Sunshine Del Payne's
expense these last few months had BETTER watch out. My sources have informed me that with
the arrest of her brother, she is due to inherit a LOT of money, and a whole lot more. One
Vice-President has already seen her name on the list of major CS Enterprises partners.
Hot Scott, fresh off a winless weekend in Tennessee, held a seven hour long closed door
meeting with the rest of the Elimination Squad. When asked of the meeting's content, The
Enforcer simply stated, "We lost our focus, and he helped us find it. You want to see
more? Just you wait."
A man was arrested after the ELVIS LIVES XI card.
He was apparently found huddling in a corner, clutching a briefcase.
That's it for now, Fans.... I'll be keeping you posted.
