My picks: Inoki - submission Hennig - pin Road Warriors - pin Jonathan - pin (no "h" - Kevin Butcher gets upset when I only correct his spelling errors) Orton - DQ Rikidozan - pin Kangaroos - pin Race - DQ Quick question: the 6/4 RAW post says Starrcade, then the next post says Lethal Lottery. I know I'm still a little tired from tax season, but am I missing something?

Jonathan - pin (no "h" - Kevin Butcher gets upset when I only correct his spelling errors) When I saw this I said to myself, "OK, smart a$$. There must be a misprint on the card then." But, nope. I've been misspelling (is there two s's in that) it since day one. I prefer to just call him DLJ, usually. I think it sound pretty cool. No. It's Starrcade. I quote and then revise to do my next PPV/RAW posts and I just forgot to change the name for the PPV card. I went back and noticed I did the inverse on another PPV but have since corrected them I think. BTW - I really hope Corino gets whipped because this unspeakable run is giving me Greg Valentine nightmares.
