    HHH is pretty good as the disingenuous loving husband. Way better at that job than the incompetent boob sitting on the bleeper is at theirs. Eventually we get somewhere with this, with some new stips added to the Armageddon main event.

    David Flair is feuding with both the Maestro and DDP...yeah, kind of a lack of focus here. DDP addresses rumors that he wants out of his WCW contract, which I'm pretty sure are rumors conveniently made up by Page or Russo just for this promo.

    The Mamalukes challenge the Nitro Girls to a game of strip poker because reasons. I think I know the only people who are going to get stripped here. The Total Package asks Liz what good an engine is without a caboose, then decides that's a bad example and changes tactics. He compares their partnership to Tracy & Hepburn and Sonny & Cher. "BRING IT ON--NASH." Maybe this concept was a few years ahead of its time for action figures. Hey, Finlay's back! Hard to believe he'd ever wrestle again at one point, much less have a second career in the WWE as both a trainer and wrestler. Pervy Mean Gene interviews Mona's chest. Mona recites a very wooden promo talking about competing and winning, so apparently Russo didn't write this one. The Outsiders talk about doing to Sting what they did to the TV belt last week. Nash and Hall are still entertaining themselves more than cutting real promos. Nash's promo in particular would be a good way of setting up a big Benoit upset, but I question if that's actually going to happen and mean anything. Piper rambles, and actually mentions Russo by name. David Flair has Symphony in the bowels of the arena in what seems like a rather pale imitation of early Mankind. Oh good, let's give Jerry Flynn promo time. The not-Velveteen Dream stands by.

    Can you not get good pizza in Milwaukee? I've never been but I refuse to believe there isn't good pizza in a city that's only a couple of hours from Chicago. I've always suspected there was something off and inconsistent about Vince Russo's booking, this just clinches it. Psicosis is a surrogate champion for Juvie--I'd prefer to think of these title changes entirely as unofficial, and I hope New Japan does the same. Buzzkill is back with another sign, not even at ringside but just in the crowd.

    Between the Sheets has covered the Watts firing extensively--yes, it was absolutely Madden.

    Pretty solid but I don't know if it was really more than that. This was definitely a more pro-wrestling feel of a match than other BattlArts tags, just without pinfalls. Still, everybody looked good and the action was always moving.

    Rhino's now with Candido and Joel Gertner's now with the Impact Players for those of you keeping score. Tammy does look better here than she did earlier in the set, I'll give her that.

    Cyrus pointing out that the Office not going for the collar because they're Jewish was kind of funny, and the Minister responds by suggesting he come back with a "Yamaha" on his head. Amusing for folks like us but way too inside-baseball even for ECW.
  9. PeteF3
    Don't let your bizkit go limp--get EXTREME. Ah, Fred Durst & co.--a company so edgy and hardcore they can't even say the word "ass" in their hit single.

    Doring cops a feel up Elektra's legs and unwittingly runs into Roadkill's beard. He's about to suggest that Elektra shave until he susses out this whimsical predicament.

    How can a match look this bad even in music video form? A slick edit can make almost any match look like a classic, but this is barely even edited--it's just random slomo clips set to the dulcet autotuned tones of Kid Rock. A graphic hypes a rematch for Christmas Night, but remember--Terry Golden isn't about selling tickets for this and this isn't an angle.

    "Parents, get your kids' permission before viewing this." Cornette does a good job on commentary overall but I think the calling-it-as-it's-live-even-though-it's-pre-taped atmosphere doesn't do him any favors--it just doesn't sound spontaneous. Danica strips Helena after she takes a Michinoku driver from Scotty Sabre. Then someone named Mercedes runs in and gets stripped as well.

    Simmons winning the title aired either almost or entirely in full on the 8/8/92 WCWSN, at least according to the Match Discussion Archive.

    Also a CBJ fan and the Golden Knights make me want to puke.

    Adonis actually left/disappeared when Murdoch did, and didn't return until July (pretty much getting put in Patera's spot). I've heard it posited that the WWF didn't want Patera on the show because of his upcoming trial, but that could just be speculation.

    The guy setting his stomach on fire to do a superfly splash on his run-in was pretty wild. The falling through the furniture was boring. Yamakawa's comebacks were pretty good, though.
  17. PeteF3
    Corino goes all Mr. Bob Backlund on the audience because a Limp Bizkit concert next door to the arena is leaving him unable to concentrate on his match. This is a pretty big coup for ECW.

    Just a day or two after Loss complained about the "authority figure getting off the phone to talk to a wrestler" set-up, we get this! And...we're out as quickly as we're in. Okay then.
  19. PeteF3
    Raven doesn't sound good, and this really feels like retread territory.
  20. PeteF3
    Damn, this was a blast. Everyone here was great--Hansen as the cowboy on the Last Ride and all the intensity and anguish that entails, Taue as his muscle, and Kobashi and Akiyama as plucky babyfaces in Bizarro World. The final comeback is positively electrifying, with Akiyama desperately trying to hang onto the ropes to avoid a Taue chokeslam and still managing to kick out, then countering the Lariat attempt just when it seems all is lost. For AJPW standards it's a pretty quick babyface comeback to the finish, but the Wrist Clutch Exploder is pretty much instant death whenever it's busted out so it makes sense, and it was cool to see a big AJPW tag that really only has two hot false finishes but doesn't stop being a thrill ride the whole way through. Probably the #2 AJPW match of the year.

    Constantly referring to Snow as "Al Snow," both names, gets pretty grating when combined with the policy forbidding pronouns. At least he doesn't have a purple-prosey nickname that gets shoehorned in every time. Mankind makes a save after the match and sort of half-heartedly threatens Snow with a chair.
  22. PeteF3
    Test and Stephanie have a tender private moment, between only themselves and a few million people.
  23. PeteF3
    Definitely a sea change in terms of wrestling books, that's still being felt today. Foley might be WON HOF-worthy even if he was a career mid-carder, just because of that. Jericho eviscerates Mike Foley as only he can do.
  24. PeteF3
    Rock isn't concerned about a man named AL, but may change his tune after Snow jumps him from behind in the locker room.

    "Yo Billy, tell 'em the dilly." X-Pac is just too cool. These are some decent enough wrestling promos, actually, before we get to the Sports-Entertaining. HHH gets Vince's entrance music and strut. Billy Gunn gets HHH some red lingerie ("It looked great on me"), X-Pac gets something similar that will look good on Stephanie (an empty box), and Road Dogg gives him a front-row ticket for Stephanie. HHH makes their match anything-goes, falls-count-anywhere...it wasn't already?
