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, 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?

The loss of "Iceman" Steve Radder following his time limit draw against "Total Elimination" Eli Flair will certainly hurt the CSWA Championship picture. With Radder gone, and former US Champ Randy Harders facing competition that is, shall we say, somewhat lacking, the word is that there are NO clear contenders for Nemesis' United States Championship. Nemesis was also re-introduced to the Unholy at Trinidad, putting him back in the forefront of the spotlight.

The previously-taped CSWA SuperPRIMETIME in Trinidad was the highest rated wrestling show of the week, pulling in a 13.1 share and BURYING the competition, despite the large number of people tuning in for the World Series. In the quarter hours, the Love/Flair main event, on its own, got a 17.2, making it the highest- rated non Pay-Per-View match of the year to date. Still, Poison Ivy and Eli Flair maintain that they proved nothing, and may be looking for a return match against Love.

Troy Windham may have gone too far in his antics, strapping on the CSWA World Title belt as Junior Hornet and Bandit held the Champion back. The actual title match ended in a bizarre fashion, but the Boy Troy may be looking at some heavy payback... and sooner than he thinks.

Ray S. Cornette, manager of the Corporation for the past ten years, has been dealing with health problems all year and may no longer be under contract with the CSWA. The same goes for his 'pride and joy' of Joey Melton and Peyton Wright, who had a closed- door meeting with Commisioner Thomas and were said to have had a dejected look about them when they left his office.

I've heard through the grapevine that Vice Commisioner Vizzachero has booked the Astrodome in Houston, Texas, for the site of the next pay- per view event, THANKSGIVING WEEKEND SPECTACULAR. It's also rumored to be a two-day event, a CSWA mainstay that has not been seen since FISH FUND XI. No word yet on the Main Event.

And finally, just a word or two on the "Presidential Tournament" that Commish Thomas announced.  We all saw what happened in 'another' promotion when the owner decided to get involved in the title picture.  Granted, the Presidential isn't the World belt...but it's got a storied tradition of its own.  Maybe the biggest problem is... we're used to seeing CSWA angles and storylines in news elsewhere, after the fact, not vice-versa.  It's almost a let-down....but then again, who knows what Thomas has planned.

For anyone who hasn't seen the latest "Ivy League installment...I'd suggest checking it out.  It's reminiscent of the old "Enforcer Speaks" columns.  You can check out the League by clicking here.

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