[1999-08-16-WCW-Nitro] Sid, La Parka and Silver King
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
Sid Powerbombs Parka onto a bag of popcorn. Seems like a random attack.- 5 replies

So this was kinda like the Hade Vansen gimmick except German? Didn't this gimmick get pushed back cause of the happened to columbine? Might have been better if it was anyone but Alex Wright.

[1999-08-15-NJPW-G1 Climax] Keiji Muto vs Manabu Nakanishi
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
Crowd seemed hot for the finish. It's kinda amazing the kurosawa run didn't kill Nakanishi's career. It was also surprising to see Muto lose cleanly.- 5 replies

Grimmas, have you seen Charlotte vs divas like Summer Rae, Alexa Bliss and some of the main roster divas? The Summer Rae match in particular was one of the worst matches I saw all last year. Charlotte is good when in the ring with world class workers like Sasha and Becky. I don't think she's ready for the main roster yet and her promo work is bad. And did they announce that Sasha/Charlotte was going to be the main event of the house show before the NXT house show started? I don't see how that can count as them being able to draw that crowd. With that being said, I think the divas could at least main event tv some day. It would take the main announcers and Vince taking it seriously and not making jokes during matches.

[1999-08-14-WCW-Road Wild] Hulk Hogan vs Kevin Nash (Loser Must Retire)
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
Nothing sums up this era of WCW more than Hogan holding the belt up to crickets while Tony says "This is his best title reign" and Heenan says "I'm gonna be sick". I guess it's good that Nash was at least gone for a while. -
[1999-08-14-WCW-Road Wild] Randy Savage vs Dennis Rodman
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
I remember liking this back in the day but yeah it's pretty awful now. I don't get bringing Rodman in just to job? Just a lot of pointless brawling with no heat. Kinda sad to see Savage go down like this really. -
Sid no selling a superplex like Davey Richards. The finish was shocking for sure but it just proves the WCW was clueless. And I'm a big Sid fan.

[1999-08-14-WCW-Road Wild] Harlem Heat vs Kanyon & Bam Bam Bigelow
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
The crowd looks a lot smaller and less biker guys than say 1996 version. Bam Bam did a lot of work in this. Especially for the finish when he had to casually walk back so Stevie would move. -
[1999-08-14-MPPW-TV] Wolfie D phone interview / Arena highlights
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
I remember back in 92 when Austin Idol did the water for oil gimmick and said that Richard Lee did it to his plane to murder him. This is a step down from that. Wolfie takes a big bump off the top of the cage. He's already done more in Power pro than he did in KAW. Cage match looked good. -
[1999-08-11-NJPW-G1 Climax] Shinya Hashimoto vs Masa Chono
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
I liked this more than the Muto match but not as much as the other Hash match. This had a lot of hate which surprised me. I thought Muto/Hash/Chono were all friends but I guess they feuded too? Anyways, the STF by Chono where he didn't let go was a nice touch. Thought for sure he would get dq'd. Finish was surprising but heated as was the post match. Good stuff.- 6 replies

[1999-08-11-NJPW-G1 Climax] Keiji Muto vs Yuji Nagata
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
I'm with tim on this. The work was fine I guess but most of the match was just listless matwork. Especially from Muto. Nagata had some nice submissions but they were all for nothing based on that finish. Nagata should have won.- 6 replies

[1999-08-10-NJPW-G1 Climax] Shinya Hashimoto vs Hiroyoshi Tenzan
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
I enjoyed this. Tenzan started working slower paced working on Hashimoto's leg. Then Hash makes a big comeback and the crowd goes apeshit. Hash is just amazing. Good finish too. Tenzan was impressive. I'm surprised he's still wrestling.- 6 replies

To me, this is the greatest Raw moment ever. That pop Jericho got when he made his entrance will never be topped. Everything about this was great. Too bad they fucked it up.

Only in WWF could Kane saying Suck it get a big pop.

[1999-08-09-WWF-Raw] Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown vignette
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
Henry leaves D-Lo cause he's gotta go number 1. Oh Russo. -
[1999-08-09-WWF-Raw] Jesse Ventura, HHH and Shawn Michaels
Tim Evans replied to Loss's topic in August 1999
Ventura was on a roll with his digs. First with Hogan and then just using every word Vince hates non stop. HHH played his role good and out comes HBK. Man Shawn looked drugged out of his mind but he was over as hell in Chicago. Awesome segment. -
Yeah I enjoyed this. Hogan's return to American made got a big pop out of me. Would have been better if it was just a one time appearance but like normal, it went on too long. The crowd really helped this. They were hot for everything. Bad finish though.

The Camera man almost misses the finish. I guess the David Flair experiment is over and we are getting crazy David next. Crowd was really hot for this for some reason.

Rick Steiner just sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the other 5. I remember this build up well I was a big Goldberg guy and seeing him wasted on Steiner was sad. Nash is Nash but he was already stale.

Nothing says hardcore than purple ECW shorts that Dreamer is wearing. Real good match and post match. Nice to see Guido treated seriously and Taijiri was a bad ass. Also liked Corino in the post match.The anti hardcore schtick had been done before but I think Corino did it the best.
