    The full match was really underwhelming. It was one of those Misawa performances where he just lets his opponent hit all his offence and then comes back to win with the elbow of death.

    "In grateful appreciation for having the insight, and the genius to create the greatest wrestling extravaganza of all time..." So many great moments in this "very, very special presentation". The Fink and Mean Gene beforehand. Vince and his stooges. The faux modesty and humility. You could add a hoop to that plaque and play basketball on it. Extraordinary.

    Okay so the Corporation seems to have lost half its members and merged with the Ministry to create the Corporate Ministry no less. It's tough to keep up with everything going on in 1999. A stupid idea, but they did have great entrance music shortly after this. Apart from the very start of his career The Rock could always turn into a babyface at the flick of a switch.

    I'd forgotten that Stephanie had not one, not two, but three wedding ceremonies in 1999. None of them were run of the mill. She said 'no' during her vows so I don't think this one counted. Paul Bearer conducting the ceremony may have been a problem also. I can just imagine Stephanie suggesting having a storyline wedding on Raw to the two Vince's and this is what they came up with. Amazingly it works really well. The Undertakers theme is awesome, and he could get away with doing pretty much anything with his character. Because he's sacrificing a young lady rather than another wrestler there is more of a sense of peril for the audience. Steph is in her element with soap opera overacting. Austin comes down to the ring because it's morally the right thing to do. The aftermath is the best part of all. It made clear that Austin didn't do it for Vince and maintained his badass persona despite his chivalrous deeds. It also added a new layer to the Vince/Stone Cold dynamic whilst building up the match against the Undertaker. Great segment.

    The IC title nosedives to a new low in terms of status. The Godfather was a lower midcarder. Then again they'd have a woman hold the belt before the end of the year.

    Yeah I marked out for the return of Yurple the Clown. Her juggling skills were about as good as mine. Incredibly nobody got their face shoved into the cake, at least not on camera. Mankind throwing bits into the crowd was fun.

    Here's a main event feud that people wanted to see. The steel plate was such an inspired idea. It was great how Bret sold the spear when most others in his place wouldn't have done. A strong hometown hero promo from the Hitman as well. All of Canada was his hometown.

    Undertaker convincingly wins a shitty HIAC match. I'll bet he was real thrilled to be facing the Boss Man at the biggest show of the year. The aftermath is Russoriffic and tasteless in the extreme.

    There were no end of turns in this era, mostly lazily executed and pointless. This however was really well done. HHH had reunited with Chyna, but not the way everybody thought. A year after forming the new DX he dumps them and joins the dark side.

    That was such an amazing KO punch. Picture perfect. It's not just New Japan who buried their wrestlers by throwing them into MMA.

    Lawler gets a jibe in about this party being a sausagefest.

    I was determined to give this a chance. But from the start it was utterly abysmal and I soon had to stop the punishment. I can appreciate 'so bad it's good' but this has none of that appeal. Does any style of wrestling from the 90's hold up worse? Not that it's in any way confined to the 90's or RVD unfortunately. It's just an extreme example of a mindless spotfest with foundations built of jelly. Loss' marathon analogy sums it up pretty well.

    I really hate when heel champions are booked so weak that they need to be saved from losing to midcard opponents. Flair ends up in the pool to make him look even more foolish.

    Bret is whining and complaining as per usual.

    Time for some Memphis nostalgia. The Fabulous One's music video's are a regular port of call for me on Youtube. Inadvertent 1980's homoeroticism never gets old.

    This looked like it might have been a good match, but less than half was shown so I can't rate it. Unfortunately the complete edition era hadn't yet begun.

    Kevin Nash gets to hang out with a hot chick. Am I missing anything here?

    I did like the Cat's character and charisma. He'd barely learnt how to wrestle but had a certain entertainment value. Don't forget that he was a three time World Karate Champion. Three time.

    I don't know if this was Vince's actual house but it does look spectacular.

    The King's dreams finally come true as he gets to visit the Playboy Mansion. There he gets to meet the only man with a more insatiable appetite for plastic titties than himself.

    Mmmmmmmm, beefy.

    In any other year this would be guaranteed to be the most nonsensical match of the year. A first blood match where one guy bleeds for ages and the match continues like it's never happened. Until the pinfall that doesn't count. Except it does. The attempted double turn with no buildup or logic behind it. The fans are instantly supposed to forget the previous 3 years because Hogan has Hulked Up. What? The backstabbing, treacherous son getting his comeuppance is supposed to result in booing? Why? A referee who nobody had probably noticed suddenly becomes a central character. Uh huh, we needed that. Come on Vince Russo. Top this if you can.

    This was supposed to turn JR heel? Seriously? He's acting like the announcer version of Stone Cold. He sends Michael Cole packing, who was even more annoying in his early years believe it or not. I remember when Austin stomped a mudhole in him during his 2001 heel turn. That was one of my personal highlights of the year. JR gets off a couple of great in-jokes at the Roosters expense. No matter his gimmick, Terry Taylor was always the Red Rooster to me.

    I don't know about greatest. He's definitely top 3 along with HBK and Cena.
  25. Zenjo
    He's on ECW TV. What more explanation is necessary?
