SOUNDS LIKE a full card of grips, grunts and groans Sunday at Scope. That's when World Championship Wrestling sets up shop for ``World War III Battle Royal.'' Sixty wrestlers, among them ``Macho Man'' Randy Savage, Sting (pictured), Ric Flair and Super Assassins No. 1 and No. 2 will be in Norfolk for the 7 p.m. wrestfest. Tickets are $10 to $35 to see it up close; order at 671-8100. Or see it at home. The clash is being carried on pay-per-view for about $25. Call your cable company for details. Finally, Larry Bonko has all the skinny in today's TV column. It's on Page E2.

THE TUESDAY VIDEO menu is on the light side, which isn't bad given the post-Thanksgiving shape we're in. Leading the list is ``Forget Paris,'' a romantic comedy with . . . Billy Crystal and Debra Winger? He's an NBA ref. She works for an airline. They fall in love, marry, then start second-guessing once the honeymoon's over. No? OK, look for cameos by Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin and other hoop stars.

Primus' conquest of the alternative-arena-rock nation rolls on, with the band returning to headline Hampton Coliseum at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. This band of musicians' musicians impressed even some detractors with last summer's video for ``Winona's Big Brown Beaver,'' directed by bassist/mastermind Les Claypool. Opening are Arizona's finest, the Meat Puppets (pictured), whose latest blast of desert-baked guitar frenzy is ``No Joke!'' For sure. Tickets are $17.50 advance; to order, call 671-8100.

ART COMES in many forms, but ``Walking Sculpture: American Folk Art Canes from the Collection of George Meyer'' combines the functional and decorative. Consider the ``Abraham Lincoln'' cane (pictured), created in 1920 in Clarksville, Ky. The exhibit, featuring creative carving in an Americana tradition, is at the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center in Colonial Williamsburg through April 1996. 220-7670.
