The answers to (d) and (e) are Nicolai Volkoff and "Classy" Fred Blassie,
respectively.

The video itself is actually quite uninspiring, from where I stand...I don't
even like the song.  (I saw it first on the "Wrestle and Rock" NBC
special, "Saturday's Main Event".) The only funny part was 
watching the wrestlers do what they do all the time anyway...act.  
I mean, have you ever WATCHED professional wrestling?  These guys get 
their necks broken (:-)) one week and recover
by the next...(unless someone accidentally really breaks something, in
which case they show him recuperating in the hospital the next week)!
And they switch sides from "bad" to "good" more often than Italy changes
governments.  Ah, well, it's still mindless stuff to watch on Saturday
morning...unless Bugs Bunny is on, of course.

Well, maybe Spielberg couldn't save Cyndi, but I'll bet that
Superfly Jimmy Snuka can...or maybe Andre the Giant, or ...

BTW, I saw a rerun of what must've been the "Carson just wants to
have fun" episode Tonight show the other day... is Cyndi L. really
THAT much a space cadet?  I doubt it, but she was certainly putting
on an appearance.  Too bad she didn't sing on key, but I still prefer
off-key singing to bad mouthing (cf. almost any video).

Sorry for being long and straying off the subject, but that's showbiz
Reply if you like, but I probably won't be here.  Graduation's
tomorrow,  (hahahahahahaha....)
