  1. Really enjoyed Parv's opening story. Very funny.
  2. I liked the build to Unforgiven. All the Austin/McMahon stuff was great and this match was really Austin vs McMahon with Dude Love as the surrogate because it is way too early to do Austin/McMahon. I actually like the Dude Love character more than most. They set up that Foley is pissed about Austin. The Foley character most associated with Austin is Dude Love. I think Foley was trying to stick to Austin by using his "friend" against him, but Foley doesn't get that Austin fucking wouldn't piss on Dude if he was on fire.
  3. "That's called academia." It's funny because it is true. Killed me just now.
  4. This totally rejuvenates the Mankind/Taker feud. It felt like Taker was feuding with Vince and Bearer this month and besides Mankind costing Taker the number one contenders spot not much build has been done until here. Kane was totally distraught about Taker attacking Paul Bearer at his home. Mankind says he will make it all right and delivers an incredible intense promo. It is scathing calling Undertaker a coward and promising revenge. Foley has been on fire as a promo this year.
  5. Sable is so fucking hot in this segment. Austin can do no wrong. His big dead ass belongs to Austin. Human campfire was hilarious.
  6. Edge sucked at acting right out of the gate. Shitty spear and then nearly kills someone. Edge is the worst. Also funny that Lawler and JR sometime call him The Edge
  7. Yeah this has not been funny.
  8. I feel like there has not been that much build up for this pairing of the foursome.
  9. Dustin Rhodes vs X-Pac - WWF RAW 6/22/98 Best in ring RAW so far this was another goodie. Great sprint from two midcard workhorses. Weird babyface/heel dynamics keep this from being very good. Pac is a dick to Dustin early and gets some nice offense. Then the Born Again Dustin crotches X-Pac nice continuity from the HHH match, but weird Dustin needed heel transition spot. Then it feels like a comeback with him playing to the crowd for the bulldog. Chyna trips and Dustin turns the other cheek and eats the spin kick. Great mechanical work but narrative needed work. Dustin wants post match handshake and X-Pac tells him to Suck It! Perfect! ***
  10. Ken Shamrock vs Mark Henry - RAW 6/22/98 It is official Mark Henry was legitimately as soon as 1998. Best TV match of this run save for Funk/Foley. Henry's offense was intense crisp and energetic. Great power offense. Great work in out of the bear hug. Henry's weeble wobble selling to set up the Rana to take him off his feet for a nice pop. Shammy was pretty good in this. Vader body attack on outside. Shammy hits belly 2 belly to win. Henry feels like the heir to Blackwell in this. ***
  11. Ken Shamrock & Dan Severn vs Owen Hart & Mark Henry -RAW 6/15/98 On paper this looks awesome and it is pretty fun for time period. Shamrock & Owen are the highlights. I really liked Shameock's intensity in exacting revenge. Great sequence is the ankle lock attempt into an Owen enziguiri. Mark Henry was super fun in 98 and bumped well for Severn. Owen punts Severn in balls. But missile drop kicks Henry. Shamrock hot tag is stopped by a sharpshooter counter to a Rana. Then the midcard (DX, Nation and Vader) come out for a big brawl. A refreshing straight tag match in a sea of brawls.
  12. Fan-fucking-tastic! Love this era! Love history! Love Kelly Nelson! Listen to this podcast BAYBAY!
  13. HHH vs X-Pac X-Pac gets little heat when he comes out. Typical Kliq match lots of hard work, little downtime and bumping their asses off. They are just running their spots with no story but their work is good. Rick distracts and Owen slams X Pac on the railing nuts first. X Pac sells this really well, pleading with HHH to get in so they both don't get counted out. X Pac selling really sells the unfairness of the situation and HHH feels bad for his friend. Good angle.
  14. Very funny! Austin just wearing a black tie around his usual vest and jorts leads to a great exchange about if Vince is color blind. The two speakers throw Vince under the bus and it is pretty funny. They both say Stone Cold is their favorite wrestler. Then not to be outdone Vince gets the line of the night your attempts at humor are only exceeded by my generosity. Kane and Mankind attack Austin in a great way to end RAW.
  15. Dustin Rhodes vs Val Venis - WWF RAW 6/8/98 Did Val Venis get a voice transplant? He sounds like an imbecile here. Doesn't have Hello Ladies down at all. Dustin looked great here. Offense was crisp. He sold and bumped for Venis well. Venis has officially become a low rent Rude but at least he has a character now. He is great at the hip swivel. Dustin could have been pushed as an opponent for Shammy, Rocky and HHH and really helped them. Too bad. He looks so good in this. Taker rampage continues.
  16. When JR introduced this video I thought he said the retarded Sable and I died laughing. I rewound and realized he said departed. Horrible video, but Sable is wicked hot, one of my childhood crushes so I don't mind looking at her.
  17. Vader vs Mark Henry - WWF RAW 6/8/98 This had all the makings of a great hoss battle built around body slams and trash talk. Mark Henry hoisting, holding and slamming Vader was an amazing visual! Taker was on a rampage looking for Vince after being screwed outbid the Number One contender ship. So Taker lays out both Wish we got a legit match between these two.
  18. This is the best DX has been. Funny shit. They go back to Indian accent one too many times. The promo with LOD and Harris twins is pretty funny. I don't think I had ever the Harris twins speak holy shit they are unintelligible. At one point six people have microphones and HHH asks how many mica the WWF which gotta pop outta me.
  19. I turned nine on this day and was watching Nitro. VinnyMac is going to be proclaimed humanitarian of the year! Austin is going to be there! Taker is not here yet. Wrestlers were not a punctual bunch in late 90s
  20. Vince wonders if Undertaker has been around too long in 1998!!!! LOL! Got another 18 years and counting Vince. Decent match. Really back n forth. Austin and McMahon are great on commentary. Taker looks to have the match won but here's Mankind! I wonder what his intentions are? Impress the boss? In cahoots with Pail Bearer? Kane wins. I love Kane as the next challenger. Big pun fall victories over Vader and Taker sets him up for Austin. WWF only has four main eventers compared to the dozen WCW has but using them beautifully and making their encounters mean something!
  21. FANTASTIC SEGMENT!!! Best of the year that I've seen. Should be considered a classic. Vince gives perhaps the greatest singular heel performance in history. Totally gripping. Vince also gave the best damn voiceover performance to start this RAW narrating the events of Over The Edge!
  22. Great segment! Didn't think Taker was whiny at all. He feels Vince has taken advantage of his loyalty and well now it is time for Taker to get his. Vince is great in this. Not as great as in the Foley segment but that is once in a lifetime. The Is your mother a whore line is great. JR said it best he is brazen now in a way he never was before.
  23. I was not expecting this in the middle of an Attitude Era PPV but this was a nice treat for me and the Milwaukee crowd. Crusher was super over and there was even a Crusher chant! He got to Bolo Punch Lawler and hit with Mad Dog's fake leg. Perfect use of Lawler and great segment
  24. Vader vs Sheamus...drools This started off as a pretty good hoss sprint. I thought Kane actually brought it to Vader but you have to. I like the two Vader Body attacks leading to a zombie sit up. Finish was good wrench revenge by Vader to missed moonsault to the Tombstone. Never seen fat piece of shit. Sad. JR tries to spin as positive but Vader never recovers.
  25. Bradshaw & Taka Michinoku vs Kaientai - WWF Over The Edge 1998 This was super fun! Kaientai fleeing everytime Bradshaw enter the ring was great psychology and entertaining. The M-Pro guys doing there was awesome and led to a great heat segment. Kaientai were such douches it really amped you up for the Bradshaw hot tag. That hot tag was glorious. The size differential, Bradshaw steamrolling muthafuckas and the triple teaming leading to an M-Pro was all classic. Michinoku Driver, but save. Senton wins it for Kaientai. Really enjoyable and good psychology and great M-Pro action. ***1/2
