    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.

    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.

    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.

    Raven doesn't sound good, and this really feels like retread territory.

    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.
  15. PeteF3
    Test and Stephanie have a tender private moment, between only themselves and a few million people.
  16. 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.
  17. 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?

    Al and Mankind are watching Rock give Al the People's Elbow on Raw. Mankind is marking out, but Snow is livid. Mankind bails to try to find The Rock.

    This crowd isn't too impressed with Stephanie, even though she's accepting full responsibility for what happened. I know it's a cliche but I wonder if that "what goes around, comes around" line was a direct reference to Wrestling With Shadows.

    You know, those mudbath segments from Nitro (and Smackdown earlier this year) have me thinking that PG ain't so bad.
  22. PeteF3
    Larry Walker is in the crowd. I love his "what the hell did I just see?" reaction to the final Mamalukes segment. Liz gets a mudbath, which Heenan justifies because of her $19.95 K-mart dress as opposed to the Package's three-thousand-dollar suit. The Package follows her in courtesy of Sting, a spot that the Package sells and stooges for admirably.
  23. PeteF3
    So apparently Mike Tenay got nailed by a guitar and Okerlund is doing something with the Mamalukes, so Chavo is the new interviewer. Chavo sells Amway with a 555 number and no area code--come ON, guys, can't we be a little more professional and less obvious than that? A real sports-entertainment company would give us a Turner office number or one of the boys' cell phone numbers as a rib. Doc and Oklahoma hype up a cage match against Jerry Only. Oklahoma has ceased even trying to be funny and is now only about the face. JR even in his grouchy vile hateful human being stage today is worth more to the business and more talented than you are, you stupid fuck Ferrara. Okay, I'm not going to recap all of this again since Loss already did it, but yes, these 3-hour Nitros with Russo in charge were just death. I laugh at Mean Gene dancing in the club in spite of myself. I never thought I'd see Juventud Guerrera try to give the Heimlich maneuver to Leilani Kai--then or now. Talk about weird collisions of worlds. Please, please stop making the Nitro Girls try to fight.

    We can't have any focus on those little foreign midgets, we've got Buzzkill and he's got a SIGN! Buzzkill rambles about InfoWars or some such and Schiavone doesn't even attempt to dignify the gimmick, referring to him as "Brad." Buzzkill is Russo's wet dream, a guy who's actively against the idea of wrestling. He says "cat" and "dig" a lot. Tony actually sounds pretty excited to see Liger again and works hard to put him over, but of course none of that matters. Johnny Boone is confused by the idea of Buzzkill merely standing at ringside not doing anything and doesn't see a bunch of glass or tequila on the mat. Five seconds after the bell we're with Chavo Guerrero, Jr. backstage. I may be overreacting but this is a real low in WCW history to this point.
  25. PeteF3
    Jushin Liger's still working regularly and making good money on both sides of the Atlantic, unlike you Russo, you stupid bigot fuck. That might be the worst shit of the first TPTB regime...segueing quickly into some of the best, which is goofball heel Lex Luger. Piper is in a much chippier mood than last week, since he's getting paid. Leilani Kai and Rhonda Singh talk fishnets. Why am I taken aback by Leilani speaking in such a thick southern accent?
