Mr. Joe Blanchard is extremely upset. For some reason he seems to think that he sent El Gran Apollo to Allentown to do a TV taping and there was no one there at the airport to pick him up, then when he got to the arena there wasn't even anyone there to DO a TV taping.

After Bob Backlund discovered Bruiser Brody reading a so-called "dirt sheet" after his match on Friday night, he reported it to a furious Vince McMahon Sr.

 

Vince Sr. has put his son, Vincent Kennedy McMahon in charge of a "putch" against the dirt shirts. All workers who are on WWF shows have been told they will be fined on the spot their appearance fee if they are caught reading a "dirt sheet". Repeat offenders will be fired and banned from working in New York ever again. Apparently Vince McMahon Sr. has vowed that if anyone is ever discovered to have been leaking information to the dirt sheets, he will see to it personally that he is blacklisted from every promotion in the USA.

 

Long-time WWF stalwart Baron Scicluna said that he has never seen Vince Sr. as angry and Vince Jr. looks to be taking on the responsibility of enforcing this policy with relish.
