Rudy Seizter here for your loving CS TRIBUNE.  You know, as the 'sniffer' in the business, I get all kinds of people coming to me with all kinds of gossip.  As you all know, I helped break the story about Nemesis and K-9 being brothers.  Well...I got a little more information lately:

(The camera shows Rudy Seitzer sitting in a room with the looks of an office about it, Rudy is digging through some papers but it looks as if he's waiting for somebody. His eyes keep going up to the door. Seitzer has bags under his eyes, it appears he had a good nights sleep in some time, he just keeps frantically looking over papers. He doesn't even hear the door open or the man approach.)

Man: Hello? Seitzer?

(Rudy jumps up in shock, but realizes who it is and seems pleased. he walks around the desk and greets the man, shakes his hand, then offers him a seat.)

Rudy: Mr. Anderson, I presume.

J.D. Armstrong: Armstrong actually.

Rudy: Sorry, thanks for coming down here. I know you have a busy schedule, patients and all.

J.D. Armstrong: Yes, why did you call me down here anyway?

Rudy: Yes, well you have one of our employees is your patients Neme....(stopping mid sentence and feeling a bit foolish)....er....Barry Aishton.

J.D. Armstrong: You realize I have to keep my client's condition confidentiality.

Rudy: Mr. Armstrong, I'm not asking for you to tell me what he's done, or to convict him, we already have his residence on file. I simply want to confirm some rumors floating around him.

J.D. Armstrong: I'll see what I can do.

Rudy: Thank you, well are the rumors true?

J.D. Armstrong: What rumors?

Rudy: Well, one of them states he commited suicide.

J.D. Armstrong: I can confirm to you that Mr. Aishton is alive and well.

Rudy: Is he still crazy?

J.D. Armstrong: No one is crazy Mr. Seitzer, that is a very harsh word to use, especially about one of your own employees.

Rudy: Well when he left here, he was talking to a chair, and the like.

J.D. Armstrong: My clients mental awareness is not at it's peak, but he is not clinically insane. And if this is how you approach an interview, I'm afraid I won't be staying much longer.

Rudy: Well how is he doing then?

J.D. Armstrong: I'm sorry I really must atend to Mr. Aishton and my other clients, and I'd rather help those in the Betty Ford Clinic then answer your pathetic questions in this little "organization" of yours, I bid you good day.

(At that J.D. stands up and leaves, leaving Rudy still very much in the dark.)

So there you have it folks...but fret not, Rudy's on the case.  And I always get the answers.

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,c 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?

Last time I brought the Grapevine to you, I talked about the speculation on Hornet's final words at the end of ANNIVERSARY.  "What have I done?"  Well, while we still may not know what Hornet intended...it's obvious what it led to.  Hornet has left the CSWA, for the first time since his 'return' following the infamous "Career Match" at FISH FUND XI.  The number one question I've been asked over the past week by fans, co-workers and wrestlers alike has been "Is he really gone?"

The answer?  I wish I could tell you.  Much like he was after the accident that injured his back at FISH FUND XII, Hornet seems to be in seclusion.  He's not answering calls... and from the number of reporters sitting outside his Greensboro home...it doesn't appear that he's even going outside of it....not even to go to Sweetwater.

Rumor has run rampant about the various "mystery men" in the CSWA.  Matt Dexter revealed his own personal masked man at SHOWTIME in Negril.  However, there's still the question of The Peacekeeper.  I have it on good authority that this storytelling masked man is a former champion, both in the CSWA and elsewhere.  CSWA officials have mentioned his name along with their search for a 'hero'....but I've got a feeling that this man in the rafters is a little too 'out there' to be what they're looking for.

Fans have also asked about the odd situation Kevin Powers appears to be in.  This half of the Unified Tag champs appears to be somehow indebted to Apocalypse and the Unholy...the same people that kidnapped and maimed his former valets, Susan and Gina.  

And speaking of bizarre twists.....Eddy Love brings in a five-foot martial arts 'specialist' to be his new trainer or whatever?  What is this...return of the Mighty Morphin Midgets?  Oh, I forgot....Red's already back from the dead.

While it looked like we might have major sparks between Mark Windham and Troy Windham, or Mark and Hornet, Mark seems to have gone into a seclusion of his own.  With the familial revelations he's endured over the past months (and years), could Mark Windham's retirement be on the horizon, now that his former-best friend is gone? 

Mark Vizzack has been sighted 'on vacation.'  Apparently the former World Champ has almost fully recovered from his broken collarbone and shoulder injuries.  However, there's been no word on when he might return to the ring.

Commissioner Thomas is just about ready to release the names involved in the upcoming CSWA Presidential Tournament.  While I haven't been able to sneak a peek at the list, I've heard that some of the selections are surprising at best.  Then again...'surprising' is a kind word to describe Commish Thomas. 

That's it for now, Fans... I'll keep you posted.
