  1. Excellent segment. Mero is such a slime ball
  2. I disagree Chad because the arrest follow up was so good. I like that Taker choke slammed Vince establishes he will be with Austin. I agree that Dude should have gotten one more over on Austin. Kane had detained Taker so Dude taking out Austin two weeks in a row would have helped. Minor point.
  3. Wow! I'm a Kliq mark and I hated this, but you both loved it. I'm pretty shocked. Super unfunny and the payoff with the sky writing was so lame.
  4. I have been loving these RAWs but DX is by far the worst part of these shows. Ok, DOA is worse but DX is right there. That top Gun bs was so wicked lame. Rock looked better than HHH here. Very back n forth. No real sense of urgency. HHH no fire and his comeback with a face buster is lame. Is this beginning of Sexual Chocolate and his love for Chyna? This felt like a 2016 match just with less workrate.
  5. That All Japan 2001 tag is fucking awesome! The part where Araya comes in and immediately gets punched in the head and starts bleeding is one of all-time favorite moments in wrestling. I had this in my top 100 for Japan in 2000s. Nice to see it spotlighted.
  6. Besides the skinhead, biker DOA working a chump switcheroo gimmick in their feud with LOD, this has been the worst thing so far in this two month run of TV. Really, really bad.
  7. I have not been commenting on these. They do nothing for me.
  8. Bah Humbug, Chad! This was fucking glorious! Maybe my favorite segment of this run! I am loving the week-to-week continuity and progression. I am so used to each RAW being a vacuum and disconnected that was I like how will they follow up last week, when it felt like a go home show. Well they of course do the logical thing when a "fan" jumps the rail and assaults a wrestler they have him arrested! Beautiful! Loved all of this.
  9. Tons of fun! Patterson is only five years older than Funk! I feel like we robbed of many years of great Patterson but probably for the best for his body. Patterson was great bumping all over the place. Stunners for everyone, but when it is time to get heat Dude Love puts Stone Cold with the claw. Strongest Foley has looked and puts over that numbers may have finally got to Austin. This felt like a go home show. I'm interested to see what they have next week
  10. Dude Love vs Dustin Rhodes -WWF RAW 5/18/98 Funny exchange: JR mocks Vince forcing him to call Patterson a hall of gamer as a shoot. Lawyer quickly retorts it is always 53 year old Funk, which was hilariously Awesome short match. Apparently Dustin legit had a knee injury but you wouldn't know it. Easily the best Babyface worker on the roster. Great fire early aggressive and choking Foley. Foley going after the injured knee was great. Nice Dustin comeback climaxed with bulldog. Foley wins with Claw. Too short to be much God wish Dustin got more chances in 98. Great layout.
  11. Great stuff from McMahon claiming he gave Austin a concussion and thus he wouldn't be allowed in the arena is a double whammy of heel awesomeness! Corporate Dude Love is fun. I'm loving the mini feud between Dude and Dustin. Such smart booking that uses continuity! This should be the bare minimum, but almost never get it. I ducking love it!
  12. Val Venis vs 2 Cold Scorpio - WWF RAW 5/18/98 I wanted to write this up because I thought this was a horrible debut. Watching some bad wrestling (I do watch RAW every week but that's mediocre not bad). I guess there was mediocre but for a debut it just felt really bad. Scorpio is a horrible jobber. He looked like a way bigger star than Venis. He had some great moves and great charisma, but didn't use it to make Venis look good. Venis looked pretty green here. I have no clue if he was a heel or Babyface. You don't know his style. The hip swivel was great and was literally his best spot. It just felt like a bunch of basic spots. Nothing to grab your attention or hol you in. I love fundamentals but was not connecting them. Seemed very generic. Gives you no reason to care about the character going forward.
  13. That Sable workout video last week was awesome and this was a great segment. Mero is a pretty good heel and I like his look as a scummy heel. SABLEBOMB~! Clearly Mero helped, but I was impressed. RAW is on fire!
  14. Did you know Al Snow debuted in 1982? What the hell did he do for 12 years?
  15. Foley was excellent in this. Speaker of four languages, lover of women and a surprisingly good dancer for a big man! VinnyMac introduces Brisco as the timekeeper and Patterson as the Announcer. They build and build to the ref and then they even tease Bret Hart as the special ref until Vince is announced after he went back to find the ref. Awesome segment.
  16. Mick Foley vs Terry Funk - WWF RAW 5/04/98 Stone Cold apologizing for his language because it is usually a lot worse was hilarious. Austin was great on commentary dropping Jerry Lawler like a bad habit and cussing like a madman. I had fonder memories of this match. I did not really care for it. The crux of the match was Foley proving himself to McMahon and that he had finally snapped and was willing to beat the holy hell out of his best friend. It felt like an extended squash with plenty of arena brawler. There were some memorable spots. Like Funk bashing Foley's head so hard unprotected that he was bleeding from top of the head. Then not much happened. Arena brawling ensued. Suplexing the hot dog guy was more cute than anything else. Funk got his one big spot the moonsault (sidesault) from the loge to Foley. Funk's selling of a stinger was great, Foley piledrove through table and then beat the living shit out of Funk. After multiple piledrivers in the ring including one on a chair wins him the match. It was great for its purpose of putting Foley over, but there was not much here to make this the great match I remember. Post-match McMahon comes out with Dudettes and the dancing that ensues is fucking amazing! Great segment, good match. ***1/2
  17. Seen this before. Funny segment. Sounds like the conversations me and my buddies have had. Well none of us have spawned the Devil's Favorite Demon. The set up with the set down camera and then Lawlwr apology was perfect. Taker running down and assaulting Beart during Kane/Goldust was great.
  18. I loved the one from 5/4 with the Vince voiceover and Brisco saying everything he has is owed to Mr. Mac Man
  19. Maybe the best segment so far. Vince has really grown confident in the role. Before he was that annoying face punch able boss, now he is the maniacal, Machiavellian mastermind. He is a stronger, angrier character. He manipulates Foley into fighting Funk so that he can truly unleash the hate necessary to defeat Austin. I love how the whole segment is structured around bring number one contender. Fancy that it is about winning not about being entertaining and guess what it is entertaining! Austin raises some serious hell destroying the Love Shack! Great stuff
  20. Vader vs Bradshaw - WWF Breakdown I am a total mark for super heavyweight slobber knocker. It is my favorite style. This was a great hoss slug fest. Bradshaw was throwing some stuff shots especially clothes lines. Bradshaw is a big boy. Throwing Vader around impressive. Bradshaw had a good big boot. Vader throwing stairs was wicked. Not to be outdone Vader murders Bradshaw with a clothesline on the outside. Vader splash and Vader Bomb Kick Out! Bullshit! This crowd sucks no heat. I guess neither character is over. HOLY SHIT! Bradshaw tries to take Vaders head off with three Clotheslines From Hell! It is a neck breaker that finishes Vader should have been Clotheslines. Super fun! Bradshaw was great standing toe to toe with Vader. He should have been pushed earlier. ***1/4
  21. Great foreshadowing of the Over The Edge match with Brisco as the SGR. Good action. These two had good chemistry since 1991 Austin has a mean clothesline. Brisco has something in his eye after the Stunner was great. Dude Love of course gets involved. Mr. Mac Man blasts Brisco with the belt and Austin laughs at him. Great ending. Wish VinnyMac sold the chairs hot from nice previous but good shit.
  22. I'm going to watch this match just to see this sign! That's badass
  23. Owen Hart vs Ken Shamrock - WWF Fully Loaded 1998 Dungeon Match Owen is in Zubaz shorts, automatic ***** from me! Incredible shoot-style match. I thought they did a great job incorporating pro wrestling moves in a realistic way. I loved all the throws, strikes and slams into a wall. Stiff as hell. That straight front kick by Shammy that sent Owen into the wall was sickkkkkk! Owen cheating like a muthafucka was great loved the low-blow and the use of the lead pipe. Throwing Shamrock head first into the pipe and then through the ceiling was bitchin. Shamrock had some great shit too and Owen did a great job selling his stuff. Loved the ref bump and dumbbell finish to put Owen over. It plays into Owen's self-congratulating character and protects Shamrock for the big Summerslam match. Off the top of my head, best 5 minute match I have ever seen. Legitimately great. ****
  24. I remember this happening but I was staunchly WCW fan at this point. Doesn't age well and I like Kliq humor. I can't believe Robert Fuller and the NWA were a part of 98 WWF so weird.
