A SIDEWAYS GLANCE : IT AIN'T DISNEY ON ICE.


This just in:

After more than two years, the World Wrestling Federation returns to the L.A. Sports Arena on Jan. 5, featuring 10 matches that include WWF See Windows Workflow Foundation.  Sycho Sid against the Undertaker, Shawn Michaels vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin Steven James Williams (born Steven Anderson on December 18 1964) better known by his ring name "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, is an American actor and semi-retired professional wrestler.  and Bret ``Hit Man'' Hart vs. Vader.

The name of the program is the ``Holiday Hell Tour.''

Isn't that what the Clippers call their current roadtrip?

Sounds like an event for ESPN ESPN Entertainment and Sports Programming Network 2

It was hard to tell which hurt more, Ed Krachie's pride or his belly.

In a stunning upset, the 320-pound world hot dog-eating champ from the New York city New York City: see New York, city.

 borough of Queens lost his crown Wednesday to Hirofumi Nakajima, a Japanese man less than half Krachie's weight.

Nakajima, who methodically ingested dogs to chants of ``USA

'' even set a new world record of 23-1/4 hot dogs (buns included) in 12 minutes. Krachie set the old record, 22 dogs, in July.

Alternating bites with sips of water, Nakajima, pulled each frank from its bun, then crammed bread and beef separately - but neatly - into his mouth.

``Obviously, that's amazing,'' said an admiring Krachie, 33. ``He was on his game today. . . . He definitely deserved it.''

Krachie dunked his dogs in water before eating them.

Slim and soft-spoken, Nakajima, 22, is no lightweight when it comes to eating. He became Japan's eating champ when he wolfed down 15 bowls of noodle soup, 100 pieces of sushi, five plates of wheat noodles, five plates of beef over rice and five plates of curry over rice.

His performance prompted TV Tokyo to fly him to New York New York, state, United States
