  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. One of the few segments that really stuck with me from this era. Just incredible Trash TV!
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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!
  13. 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
  14. Pro Tip: Chicks dig IYQ
  15. 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!
  16. Rock singing Elvis is always money!
  17. 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!
  18. 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!
  19. 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!
  20. I only watched the finish, but I loved the Double People's Elbow! The Rock 'n' Sock Connection are World Tag Team Champions...Undertaker abandoned Big Show? Foley from world champ to tag team champion in a week, WWF was crazy.
  21. The People want Mankind and the People need Mankind as The People's Partner! The millions and millions of Rock's fans and the dozens and dozens of Mick Foley's fans are excited! I loved it. Mick Foley so great in this role as a total, loveable ham. The Rock is great as the cool jock that is a dick, but does humor Foley and is entertaining as all get out. Just a great pairing. Great babyface main event act.
  22. WWF World Tag Team Champions Acolytes vs Hardy Boys - WWF RAW 7/5/99 This is actually in North Carolina. Michael Hayes clearly saw something in the Hardys. I remember this vaguely. It seemed like overnight all of sudden the Hardy Boys were a thing with Michael Hayes. Like they really came out of left field. I was really surprised when they won. Great angle to do in their home state! The Hardys dive to the outside. Chaotic start. The big bruisers overwhelm the new age Rock 'n' Roll Express. Matt Hardy gets a neckbreaker as hope spot. Nice highspot with the double legdrop and splash. Faarooq thorws down Matt and then powerslam on Jeff. Tag out to Bradshaw. Big boot by Bradshaw. Bradshaw was tombstoned on Heat by Kane. Bradshaw with some great Stan Hansen bodyslam and then kick to the back. Bradshaw catches Matt off the top and Jeff gets a missile dropkick to get a two count for the Hardys. Jeff takes a double shoulderblock. Jeff gets a DDT as a hope spot for two. Faarooq tags out. Bradshawn clubberin. Matt big boot to Bradshaw concussed head. Matt punching him in the head. Bradhsaw doing a great job selling. CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! Jeff saves. Farooq takes out Hayes. Jeff canes Bradshaw, tornado DDT by Matt and NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS HARDYS IN THEIR HOME STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA! I really enjoyed this. ***1/4
  23. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Val Venis - Smackdown 10/21/99 I watched the opening show promo. Mankind was pissed at the Rock for dissing his book which caused the Rock 'n' Sock Connection to lose the tag belts as Mankind threw a temper tantrum. Foley cuts a pretty good promo on The Rock. The Rock accepts his challenge. I always forget how over The Rock was. The Rock wants Austin to have a match to be fair (Austin vs Rock vs HHH at the upcoming Survivor Series). Val Venis comes out and cuts a classic Dolph Ziggler-esque promo about it is his time and that he is the fastest rising superstar. Whatever, Val. Austin punches him in the face and accepts. I thought this was a good match but nothing to write him about. Val has some good punches and is well-built, but he lacks charisma. What makes me wanna see The Big Valbowski. Austin was interesting to watch he clearly enjoys traditional wrestling and this built well. He loves to cheat. It is funny that WWF has these babyfaces with heel edges such as Hogan and Bret. An indictment on American society, overall good but occasionally using questionable means to obtain a good. Austin eyepokes. This is worked heel vs heel except Austin is over huge as a babyface. Lots of Irish whips to create movement in the match. I am more interested in this as a time piece of 1999 rather than the match because the narrative is nothing special. I think what I like about this is the selling. It is the right amount. It is a register rather than a sell. I think in today's wrestling they sell so much for a short period and then blow it off. I rather they sell like Austin just enough but when he comes back it feels credible. For instance, the transition is Austin landing bad on his neck off a clothesline. He writhes in pain and Val is able to take advantage, suplex on the floor and a whip into barricade. But it is not so much that Austin is dying. Plus Austin is always fighting back and he puts the onus on Val to cut him off (eyerakes). It is good stuff. I liked the superplex attempt which Val blocked with a front suplex. The end was good Val whacks Austin with the chair in the leg and then Austin says Fuck You and hits him with the Stunner! It was more an interesting look at what wrestling looked like in 1999 rather than a good match.
  24. Second installment of the Forty part series looks at 1995. Diesel bombs as Champion. Bret is in Midcard purgatory. Shawn gets beat up by a bunch of Marines because he is a douche. http://ridingspacemountain.blogspot.com/2018/03/wwf-in-1995.html?m=1
