Surprises at the Royal Rumble; WCW "Turned Profit" for First Time But Really Lost Money; Razor Ramon Not Happy With Booking with Goldust; Vader to Debut at Royal Rumble; Public Enemy Signs Three-Year Deal with WCW; Shane Douglas Returns to ECW; King Mabel Reportedly Leaving WWF; Nitro to Remain Live; "Billionaire Ted Skit"

The WWF has some surprise entrants in store for the upcoming Royal Rumble. Those mentioned are Jake "The Snake" Roberts, UFC star Dan Severn, former WCW superstar Vader, Rick Martel, and the biggest surprise The Ultimate Warrior.

The Warrior was mentioned twice on the syndicated Superstars show about a possible return, which could make some of the top stars mad. Warrior turned down a $500,000 a year guaranteed contract from WCW a while ago.

WCW announces that it turned a profit in 1995 for the first time in the company's seven-year history. In reality, they lost several million but their accountants used their clever tactics to make it look they made money with the rumors of the Ted Turner-Time Warner merger to make them look more financially stable.

WCW's legal team makes Gene Okerlund take back a WCW Hotline report that Ricky Steamboat would be honored on the January 1 episode of Nitro. Steamboat threatened legal action against WCW if Okerlund did not retract the statement.

Razor Ramon alleges that he is upset with the WWF booking team over his recent angle with Goldust and objects to Goldust's habits of touching, fondling, and kissing his opponents.

Vader will make his WWF debut at the Royal Rumble but there are reports that he is only working the Rumble since he can make more in New Japan Pro Wrestling.

The Public Enemy chose to sign a three-year deal with WCW over the WWF.

Shane Douglas returned to ECW after leaving a disappointing WWF tenure. He appeared on the show at Queens, NY and even mocked his Dean Douglas character by correcting several of the ECW superstars' grammar. Douglas has been offered a deal to go to WCW.

King Mabel might be leaving the WWF soon.

Nitro plans on still running its Nitro shows live as its recent ratings success over WWF's RAW means that WCW doesn't want to let up. Eric Bischoff continues to give away taped RAW results on his live Nitro. It costs a lot of money to run weekly live shows as WCW has a ton of money with Ted Turner behind them.

The WWF aired a commercial at the end of RAW called "Billionaire Ted's Wrasslin' War Room." They mock Ted Turner (Billionaire Ted), Hulk Hogan (The Huckster), Randy Savage (The Nacho Man), and Gene Okerlund (Scheme Gene).
