    Curt Hennig is now a minion of TPTB. "Patrick" and "Gerald"--please--are now WCW Tag Champions since we saw them and Piper. Juventud looking like a young, hip Father Guido Sarducci is summoned for a browbeating of his own. David Flair auditions to be an avant-garde composer.

    Duggan cleans a remarkably clean toilet with what is apparently the TPTB's toothbrush instead of the one given to him. As far as TPTB segments go, this is one of the better ones. Piper's probably coming from a real place here considering his actual feelings about how Russo was responsible for Owen Hart's death. It's striking how noticeable but much less pronounced Russo's accent is here when he's not consciously playing it up like he does now. "Bro" has not been said once that I can recall, either.

    Patterson and Brisco rub it in to Triple H about having to face the Acolytes with no help from DX allowed. Vince is released and gets his belt and jacket back, but is told to stay away from the arena. JR doesn't seem to think that's going to happen.

    Yes, Foley absolutely wanted to turn heel on Rock at some point, but it took too long for Rock's character to budge (he had to grow to like him first before there could be a turn) and Vince didn't have faith in Foley physically to pull it off. Anyway, this is a really fun and energetic match that shows what a megastar Rock was becoming--it's not like BBM and Albert had all that much heat even with the Big Show father angle and the semi-desperate pinning of Rock the previous week, but this crowd is treating them as main eventers simply because of who their opponent is.

    Mae Young's shower gifts to Stephanie include a leather skirt, leather bra, and handcuffs. And a cat o'-nine-tails, which finally is enough to get Linda's disapproval. Mae is excited about the upcoming bachelorette party in Vegas from Linda and trashes the cake and everyone else within sight. Lawler accuses Moolah of kicking her into the cake in a funny moment. Mae is gloriously shameless.

    I continue against my better judgment to enjoy Rock not knowing who any of the WWF mid-card are. "Who are you? You work for the building or something?" We get some development as we found out that someone else threw Foley's book away, not Rock.

    This angle is much better when seen that if it were described, which would sound hokey. But this looks really good and chaotic and Vince seems like he's completely legitimately unhinged, with DX showing the right amount of ass as cowardly opportunists, not escaping from the locker room until Vince is in cuffs.

    I liked the struggle over the suplexes and holds at the very end, and I don't see the lack of heat either--the crowd seemed pretty legitimately loud for this, of course that message would be completely lost on Russo.

    That WhipFlash onto the chair could have been pretty badly mistimed or misplaced but they make it look good, and I like that they actually make sure to conceal the chair while the groggy ref is making the count. Yes, I'm on board with a hardcore rematch between these two.

    Sorry for being dense but where's the gang rape part? I see he had sex with a minor when he was 21, but that's as far as I can see it.

    Weird venue, not one I remember seeing much of for AJPW. The slow start to this almost telegraphed a draw and the match took awhile to get going, but by the end I had forgotten all about the time limit with some strong work down the stretch, with a nice tease and cut-off of the Burning Hammer. I agree that this series doesn't really seem to be going anywhere, but maybe we'll get some progression for one or both of these teams in the Final.

    Well...there's Torrie Wilson and A-Rod. Alex isn't as A-list as George, I'll grant, but he has quite a wide variety of women to choose from in his own right (like Cameron Diaz). They're really 1a and 1b as far as I'm concerned.

    Typical late-period Sandman "run-in" where he shows up in the balcony, lights up a cigarette, and shotguns a beer before meandering down to the ring, all while the heel beatdown is ongoing. Raven tries to get some revenge for Sandman attacking him last week, and when Dreamer tries to break it up, Sandman accidentally canes him while aiming for Raven. Then the Impact Players beat everyone down. Styles: "THE IMPACT PLAYERS ARE BACK!" ... uh, did they leave?

    Minister blesses Corino with a half-hearted "Dominus ominus...uh...mazel tov..." but it gets the job done as Corino goes from death's door to healed. Minister isn't a fan of ministing and throws down his collar and lights one up, and says "it beats managing Mortis and Wrath." Well, that was uncalled for.
  15. PeteF3
    Albert did interfere somewhat, but BBM basically beat Rock 90% clean, one of the most baffling results in the history of Raw. I'm assuming Rock gets that win back tonight.

    Part of a UPN Invades Vegas-themed week, evidently. I did enjoy the Rock-catchphrase-spouting fan as the constant thorn in their side and Mankind not grasping the concept of tipping a stripper.

    Liz isn't much for cooking and cleaning but is intrigued by Chavo's jewelry. I'm fairly sure Amway doesn't actually sell Rolexes.

    Five months later, let's get back and finish this fucker off. Can't let dawho overtake me. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is Ed Ferrara doing both voices. Kind of a cute segment in a vacuum, really. It's not so much that this couldn't get them over in WCW, but ultimately they weren't going to be allowed to advance anywhere regardless.
  19. PeteF3
    Yeah, Jake was probably more over and pushed higher than his W-L record, but I don't think *anybody*, even ones who did the power-walk with them, bought the 'whackers as legitimate title contenders.
  20. PeteF3
    I guess the thing about Cass is that he asked ahead of time if he could continue the beatdown after the kick, was told no, and then did it anyway. Not sure why it wasn't beaten into his head in the Performance Center that it's easier to get forgiveness than permission.

    You can go back to May of '87 with Jarrett (vs. Bockwinkel).

    Nah, that's Strummer's sig, and it's definitely a Norm MacDonald line. RE had enough of his own issues both sex-related and not. I would have sworn this came from a RE post back in the days… damn… The thing as I recall about RE is that he *did* seem to see sex as a competition that you could win. He had a lot of thoughts that seemed to be in line with "pick-up artists"--he was probably really into negging and peacocking.

    I try to hit one Jackets and one Indians game a year.

    Ole is also responsible for the Road Warriors becoming stars and he knew what he had in them (first Animal solo, then as a unit) from the start, so it's not like he was totally biased against non-great-"wrasslers."
