    Fixed that there for you, bud. Unless Bryan changes his style I don't care. I hope he is safe that is for sure.

    WWF World Champion The Rock vs Mankind - WWF RAW 1/4/99 On one of the most influential nights in pro wrestling history, Mrs. Foley's Baby Boy owned it. While New Japan and WCW bombed with disastrous angles on this night, WWF delivered one of the all time great feelgood moments in pro wrestling history. Mick Foley is a truly great underdog story that really does make you believe that any dream is possible. To do it on a night where WCW openly called out that he would win the championship ahead of time and actually causing a ratings spike for WWF is a testament to how great a story it is. The match in of itself is oddly constructed. The Rock basically kicks the shit out of Mick Foley and whats weird is that he doesn't cheat at the start. He is just beating him up. Like there was no big transition. The Rock just starting kicking him. It was odd. Foley takes the ring steps bump, suplex on the floor, smashed in the face by a bell and Rock Bottomed through the table. The Rock did his mid-match commentary which I believe was the first time he did it. Some damn good trash talk. I thought the lack of shine hurt the match. The pops for the kickouts were not that great. It was a pseudo-lumberjack match with D-X and Corporation there but they did not get that involved. D-X even let Foley get hit in the head with the belt and kick out. I feel like there should have been more interactions with the wrestlers outside. Let me take this opportunity to say how big a mark I am for the Corporation. Vince, The Stooges, The Rock, Shamrock, Bossman and a coerced Kane is a very underrated stable and it is too bad it got merged with the Ministry of Darkness. Shamrock gets involved and now D-X vs Corporation goes down. Then it happens. The single loudest pop in history. Austin's music hit and THE PLACE ERUPTS! It is not just the noise, it is the visual of every single person standing putting there arms in the air. Austin wallops Rock with a chairshot and Mankind wins. Great celebration coupled with Vince being pissed and Austin flipping him off. This match defies ratings. It is a classic.

    You may have misunderstood my point. 95 is bad because it had trifecta of poor drawing, poor booking and poor work rate. I agree of the three the workrate was the least of their concerns but still Bret was having GOOD just Good matches in the mid card. Shawn had long dry spells of nothing. Besides Shawn & Bret, it was really just Owen that could be relied on. I much prefer 1993 as a dark horse for great under the radar WWF workrate.

    I remember being so spooked by "Lord of Darkness" Undertaker. Totally freaked me out as a 9 year old. To this day, I have a soft spot for this stuff.

    In the running for one of the most important angles in WWF. It launched not just the Triple H-Stephanie angle but their eventual real-life marriage. I love wrestling weddings. Test is such a horrible name for pro wrestler. I mean who the hell was supposed to buy someone named Test as a main eventer. He comes out to his entrance music. LOL! I want entrance music at my wedding now. He is introduced as Test too. Vince & Steph were great. What I was surprised by was how respectful this Attitude Era crowd was. They did not boo "Together", which went on forever. They chant Asshole at HHH on cue. Attitude Era crowds were not all that bad. HHH's drugs and married Stephanie in a cheap ass drive thru chapel. Stephanie screaming "I hate you." is so good. Amazing angle.

    Al Snow is pissed at The Rock for obvious reasons that The Rock is a pompous ass but he is the People's Pompous Ass. The Rock acts like he doesn't know who Al Snow is. Al Snow does a great job in the background. Rock finds out his name is Al. Then acts like Al is not present and tells Mick to tell Al some hilarious shit. Really funny.
  7. Superstar Sleeze
    This was a great angle. Vince was crazed! He was out to kick some ass. It really put over the severity of the bullshit that D-X had been pulling. Having watched a lot of wrestling, it is hard to get me pissed off. There was something about HHH knocking Vince over while he was handcuffed and that little part shot to the balls that really pissed me off. That really made me want to see Hunter get fucking destroyed. It is good that part of me still exists and I have been numbed to everything.

    That was fucking hilarious. The Rock declares that Poontang Pie is his favorite pie. He knows someone has never tasted the sweet, sweet poontang pie and that is Michael Cole. I somehow fell for "Tell us how your first experience with poontang pie was." and he says "It doesn't matter..." that was so funny. This is a good time to tell one of my favorite stories. It was probably this Smackdown that first introduced me to the term poontang pie because I know I didn't watch the This Is Your Life segment live. It was either the next Thanksgiving or the Thanksgiving after that my Aunt asked me what my favorite pie was. At the time I was between 10-12 years old, I was like I know the answer to this question! The Rock has told me that everyone's favorite pie is poontang pie. So I boldly declare that POONTANG PIE IS MY FAVORITE PIE! My mom was mortified and my Dad was howlin'. So thanks Rock for that one!

    I love this storyline so much. The Rock is pissed at how Mick Foley talked to him the last time he talked to him, BUT mentions that he didn't throw out his book and then quotes the book Chapter 37 proving he did read the book! Mick Foley is over the moon. Foley ends up being his mystery partner against the Bossman & Albert. I cant believe Bossman was the No. 1 Contender to the WWF Championship in December of 1999! Mankind gets a big pop for coming out.

    This is some dark, twisted shit. D-X making the McMahon family believe they at the very least kidnapped if not raped Stephanie. In a way Stephanie turning heel takes some of the bad taste out of my mouth because then she was in on it and really comes down to Stephanie wanting revenge on her father. Between this and Jericho's torture porn segment some really dark shit in WWF at this time.
  11. Superstar Sleeze
    I did not think it was a very convincing performance by Jericho. He should sounded more like a lunatic. He was too coherent. Chyna actually did a great job. Pointing out she would just be lying and she did a great job selling the hammer shot. Pretty big misfire here. Jericho has the guts to try crazy things so I give him props for that.

    One of the few segments that really stuck with me from this era. Just incredible Trash TV!
  13. Superstar Sleeze
    Best fuck up of a Southern accent I have ever heard. I laughed so hard. There is some controversy over whether when Vince hit Shane with the belt if that was an accident. D-X claims Vince as their new member. Vince says he would rather join the Girl Scouts but the mic is fucked up. So he tries again and this time he says I would rather join WCW to a huge pop. Good line.
  14. Superstar Sleeze
    There it was right in the front row of the Providence Civic Center. Was that the Place to Be Boys? Austin Fears Misawa in all its glory. I just skipped to the end. I forgot how they got D-X back together so that HHH has a super heel group for backup. I guess at this point Chyna is probably going to split off on her own as a babyface which leaves a slot open for Steph to be the lead female heel with Hunter.
  15. Superstar Sleeze
    Even with injured ribs and Foley not participating, I didn't believe in the Hollys. It was HHH's Pedigree that did Rocky in. Austin attacks HHH. Great moment when Austin flips off Rock to stop him from People's Elbow and then Stunners Helmsley.
  16. Superstar Sleeze
    You guys are pretty harsh on Rock. I think it is all in good fun and he is quite entertaining, but Mick putting him in his place was glorious. Foley just absolutely rips into him. the Grow Up at the end was great.
  17. Superstar Sleeze
    Al Snow finds the book in the trash. Tells Mick. At first Mick thinks Rock has lent it out and Rock's generosity knows no bounds. Then he thinks Al Stole it and Rock will be hot. Al tell him where he found it. Mick is crushed.
  18. Superstar Sleeze
    Holy shit I forgot how fucking mean Chris Jericho can be. We need more mean heels. Chyna hits him with the belt and Jericho goes flying off the apron. Great bump by him!
  19. Superstar Sleeze
    Absolutely tremendous! Foley signing Rock n Roll Express theme but switching it to Rock n Sock. Foley just so over the moon oblivious to the Rock's agitation. The Rock call Tag Belts small potatoes doesn't even know who the Hollys are and that they have a match. Foley gives Rock a sign pre-copy of his book. Rock wants to know what page he is on. Foley has Mr. Rocko! Rock tells him to keep it disgusted. Foley gave it a rinse-aroo at Super 8. LOL! Rock tells him to keep it. Foley asks if he ever stops giving. I LOVED THIS

    Mankind saying he did not need saving from the remnants of the Ministry and that he was just getting his second wind when The Rock arrives, but appreciates it nonetheless because that's what best friends do! The Rock using Michael Cole face to advertise his new shirt was great. The Rock 'N' Sock Connection has been great on rewatch. Awesome odd couple. I watched the Taker promo after this. Taker calls out The Rock for using TV writer. Damn! Undertaker seems already in American Badass mode. I have watched 2 or 3 Taker promos. He is pretty terrible. He forgets his lines and is awkward speaking. The Undertaker gimmick was perfect for him because he did not have to speak. Undertaker would leave soon because he was injured. Rock 'N' Sock take home the tag titles on this night!

    Rock singing Elvis is always money!

    Austin & McMahon is just gold no matter the capacity! I like the idea of Austin and McMahon friendly towards each other as the natural progression of the rivalry. HHH is pissed that McMahon has won the title. McMahon wants to relinquish the title and it will be up for grabs in the Six Pack challenge. Shane wants to face HHH & Chyna with his daddy. Good father/son bonding. Austin reinstates Vince! Vince puts HHH in the Six Pack Challenge as punishment. Great segment!
  24. Superstar Sleeze
    WWF World Champion HHH vs Vince McMahon - WWF Smackdown 9/16/99 HHH is refusing to face Austin because Austin blew his rematch on Monday. He runs down all the potential challengers, but he wants the one with the biggest grapefruits. Jerry Lawler says "Me?!?" and cracks me up. HHH goads Vince into a match calling out Vince's ability to satisfy his middle aged wife is funny. Linda has needs too. Vince says no but eventually HHH's sexual insults have Vince deck HHH, but that lasts only so long. Shane is the special ref as chosen by HHH now Shane is the one helped HHH win the title first place. So I was confused at first if Shane was biased against his dad or if HHH wanted him to suffer by watching him kick shit out of his father. Turns out it is the latter. HHH beats the crap out of Vince. Vince is so great at selling the beating. HHH is vicious. I like Chyna getting in a cheapshot. HHH blasts Vince with a chairshot and draws blood. Shane tackles HHH to a big pop but Chyna tackles him and then Shane eats a chair shot. Out comes Linda & The Stooges. I love Pat & Jerry trying to save Vince. It is very endearing. Chyna forces Linda to watch HHH beat her husband into a bloody pulp. FINALLY Austin's music hit to a MASSIVE POP! Austin hits the Stunner and pulls Vince on top for the 1-2-3! I think Vince & Austin as an uneasy pairing against superheel HHH was the perfect to transition into a new era and cement HHH as the super villain of the WWF. Awesome segment!

    Vince is the man. I feel like Triple H sounds like a cross between his Greenwich snob gimmick and The Game. He does not fully sound like Triple H yet. I really like how they are going all in on Triple H. He is the most over heel in the WWF since Vince. I think Vince coming back as a babyface to stand up to HHH was the best way to give HHH that seal of approval. Building a strong heel after a year and half of Vince makes sense. Vince is great as a pissed off babyface protecting his woman. I loved how he called HHH a son of a bitch. Throw his jacket in his face. Austin's beatdown of HHH was glorious. Great bumping by HHH. Stupid Russo bullshit aside like ringing the bell to start a match that does not exist and then ringing it at the end of the beatdown was dumb. Austin was on fire liked him attacking HHH's legs with a chair as revenge and a stunner sends us home. GREAT!
