Looking back at the 1999 tournament to crown a new WCW World Champion. Here's the first round of action, and it's rather interesting. Good or bad interesting? You decide that one. https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/04/17/wcw-world-title-tournament-in-1999-first-round/

https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/04/11/wcw-worldwide-2000-the-forgotten-show-part-six/ The sixth installment of the series features Billy Kidman, Elix Skipper, Buff Bagwell, Disco Inferno, Rey Mysterio Jr. and The Great Muta.

Recently, I took a look back at the feud between Raven and Sandman in ECW. It's probably one of my favorite feuds in general to happen. They had some memorable moments and memorable matches throughout. What are your memories or thoughts on the feud?

A Look Back At: 1998 500 Rankings Who's number one!? Grading period is August '97 through August '98 https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/04/03/at-look-back-at-the-1998-pwi-500-rankings/

The first half of '92 for the WWF had some good and bad stuff going on. I took a look at the company from January 1st to June 30 and listed some of those moments. https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/04/01/the-good-the-bad-wwf-1992-part-one/

Jimmy Rave, in my opinion, is one of the most under appreciated wrestlers. His run in ROH from 2004 to 2007 brought some great memories and solidified himself as a great heel. He never got a ROH World Championship run and drug addiction took him out of the spotlight. Recently, he's been making a name for himself again. I took an abbreviated look at his ROH run as a refresher leading into an anticipated independent show appearance for AIW coming up in April. https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/03/25/jimmy-rave-the-crown-jewel/

I don't recall him being signed. Though I do recall him supposed to be the mystery man aligned with Vampiro in spring 2000 but that got dropped.

​Part four has been updated. This features a match between Christopher Daniels and Chris Candido that should have gotten Daniels a contract. Also, Juventud Guerrera, Shane Douglas, Chris Harris, Crowbar and Mike Sanders appear. https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/03/23/wcw-worldwide-2000-the-forgotten-show-part-four/

The Good & The Bad: WCW 2000 Part One https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/03/22/the-good-the-bad-wcw-2000-part-one/ The good moments and the bad moments of World Championship Wrestling. Mine might be different than yours. It sure was a wacky year.

Part three has been updated! Features Chris Candido, Curt Hennig, Madusa and Sonny Siaki. https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/03/20/wcw-worldwide-2000-the-forgotten-show-part-three/

Candido controls the arm of Daniels following a knee lift to the midsection. Daniels comes off the ropes and soon takes Candido down with a headlock, but his advantage isn't very long. Daniels does the move again and this time controls Candido for a few moments. Candido backs Daniels into the corner and continues to work over Daniels with strikes. Daniels sends Candido into the corner and Candido flips over the top to the floor. Daniels goes to the floor and slams Candido face first onto the apron. Daniels takes Candido out with a moonsault to the floor! Candido low blows Daniels but misses a chair shot. Daniels doesn't miss a chair shot over the head! Daniels misses a clothesline in the ring but Candido hits a spine buster for a near fall. Candido lifts Daniels up and connects with a delayed vertical suplex. Candido comes off the middle rope to hit a leg drop for a two count. Daniels manages to take Candido over with a hurricanrana and hit the Best Moonsault Ever, but can’t make the cover! They trade a few strikes until Daniels backdrops Candido followed by a dropkick. Daniels boots Candido in the corner and attempted a tornado DDT but Candido countered with a northern lights suplex. Daniels plants Candido with the Angels Wings! Daniels follows up with the Last Rites but Candido gets his boot on the bottom rope. Candido hits a sit down piledriver and signals for the end. Candido goes to the top and hits the diving head butt for the win. (***1/4. That had to have been the tryout match for Daniels. He literally got all his stuff in and it’s the most competitive match for unknowns thus far. How Daniels didn't get a regular role in WCW following this match is baffling to me, honestly. This was a really fun match.)

At least in 2000, it's a little bizarre. Later in the year there are a little more bizarre matches, or interesting ones. For instance, in the next installment there is some TNA/Impact guys before their big break. It's a lot of fun.

The fun continues with part two. https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/03/18/wcw-worldwide-2000-the-forgotten-show-part-two/

I decided to look at WCW Worldwide circa 2000, which throughout the year has some interesting matches. This is part one of the series. It's oddly fun to watch forgotten matches, and they're actually...entertaining.. for the most part. https://wrestlingrecaps.com/2017/03/17/wcw-worldwide-2000-the-forgotten-show-part-one/

I appreciate the feedback! It makes having hundreds of magazines worth it.
