    Lance gets in some pretty vicious low blows at Candido and Sytch, asking Tammy what it's like to be washed-up at age 26 and telling Candido to do what he's been doing, and "go take a powder." The ECW Security Brigade never ceases to be eye-rolling in its inconsistency. Yeah, New Jack can run to the ring with a shopping cart full of weapons but Candido and Storm can't be allowed to get into a fistfight.

    Well, everyone has explained why this storyline doesn't make much sense, but the action is okay at the finish as is the heat. Which makes this a Segment of the Week contender by October of '99 standards.

    For some reason Stephanie says that David Boy Smith is not to blame for what happened...WHAT?? Why on earth is Davey Boy around at this point? (Don't answer that--I know.)

    What Chad said. It's like Russo never left. Amidst myriad bad acting performances on this Yearbook, this guy playing the therapist possibly ranks as the worst.

    Oddly the climax of all this (as well as the follow-up with Show's mother) was one of my Dad's all-time favorite angles--as a retired police officer and fan of the heels, he was a huge Boss Man fan. Now having gone through a time earlier this summer where my Dad went from vaguely ill to dead from pancreatic cancer in the span of a few weeks this is...well, odd to look back on. I'm not going to pretend I'm suddenly offended now, nor will I ever defend this as good booking. This interview specifically is a particularly low point of this whole feud.

    It's a lame-duck show under a lame-duck booking committee, so Nash is out to entertain himself, logic and storytelling be damned. "A lot of changes going on in WCW!" Oh, Tenay's SHOOTING! A comical-looking Rey Misterio Jr. hawks his jersey while we see in-ring action of him in his Nailz outfit. TBS Voiceover Guy shows up to tell us how to order. Highlights of Torrie Wilson flirting with Kidman and blowing off David Flair. Curt "Harvey Weinstein" Hennig offers Torrie a CD deal in exchange for something or other. Kevin Nash narrates a video of the Goldberg-Sid feud, apparently doing a John Facenda NFL Films voice but sounds more British than Facenda's New England accent. "A MAN WHO CANNOT TOUCH THE OTHER MAN! ... I LAUGH AT YOU! ... How'm I doin' so far, Mike?" Nash shows how far-reaching of a visionary he really was as he praises Goldberg's ability to milk the hard camera. Larry: "Would you pass me Kevin's water?" Tenay: "It certainly isn't water..." This definitely falls under the purview of entertaining crap. Nash hypes a revamp of the Saturday Night program, whatever that was supposed to be about. Nash actually stops to put Meng over a bit as he squashes Luther Biggs. Okay, an infamous moment in Thunder history. Some funny bits but as usual, but Nash is like the Stanford Marching Band--they're both about a quarter as clever as they obviously think they are.

    Mark turns on the natural charm again.

    Stephanie has to write every single thing she does down...holy shit, was Christopher Nolan tuned into Raw tonight? This is setting up...what, Shane vs. Bulldog?

    It seems like the Outsiders are spinning their wheels until Russo puts a plan together (HA!) for what to do with them. The sense of danger and wonderment of what will happen next when they did this in 1996 is totally gone this go-round. Bobby comes off more than a little desperate here.
  11. PeteF3
    Tony and Bobby both seem pretty broken-up.

    Monsoon is shown in his old Manchurian get-up.

    I'd add Fujinami vs. Tony Rocco as well--they have matches in '79 and '80 as I recall.

    Are you sure that's $700 and not 700 rupees? Though that's only about 11 bucks, which seems low for a ringside seat even for India.

    This just got less and less exciting as it went along. Hashimoto's early rising-from-the-grave comebacks with fire in his eyes were electrifying, both for the crowd and myself. But it became more and more apparent that Ogawa either wouldn't or couldn't actually sell anything for more than a few seconds or put himself in any kind of danger of losing, so every time Hashimoto got back up it meant less and less and less. Both for the crowd and myself. We reach a point where Hashimoto looks dumb and overmatched instead of gutsy, until fucking Inoki has to come in and make himself the center of attention at the end. I don't hate this as much as the people who really hated this, but I think it's clearly a very, very disturbing trend for what's ahead for NJPW in the next few years and an inexplicable shitting-on of Hashimoto. Hash either had to win this or lose in a truly great match and neither happened.

    Sort of a better version of the AJPW 6-man tag we just saw--a relentless but not overbearing pace and lots of stiff strikes and hate amidst fundamentally solid wrestling. I actually thought this was a bit of a breakout party for Tanaka and even if he's raw, I want to see a lot more of him because his good shit was really good indeed. Way better and even more heated than the IWGP junior singles match earlier in the card. One of the more fun NJPW tag bouts of the year.

    After a long period of mostly indifference watching these Yearbooks I'm starting to see why people are so down on Ka Shin, as I thought he choked pretty badly in a major Dome title match. He has nice takedowns into the cross armbreaker but little else, and I have to say this wasn't really one for the Great Liger Performances Box Set either. I glanced over at a football game for 2 seconds and suddenly the match was over out of nowhere.
