    I like Juvie's Johnny Depp look. I don't get why this is a program befitting of a mask vs. hair stip, nor do I get why Chavo, Psicosis, and Juventud are now an alliance. And I don't get the point of unmasking a JTTS, either. And judging by the reactions, neither does this crowd, though they come alive for Kidman's big kickout after the Chavo interference.

    I'm guessing these didn't operate as well in real life as they do in this ad. On the plus side they look like they'd match up well with the old Galoob line if you want crossover matches.

    Well, you certainly can't accuse this of being cookie-cutter like a bunch of other 1999 WCW vignettes. Tony: "We have the unveiling of a new Total Package tonight." (Liz takes off funeral garb to show foxy cocktail dress) Bobby: "AND LOOK AT IT!" I LOL'd. Luger's head literally looks like it's been Shopped onto another body--he looks like Sting in those Capitol Combat promos. Tony: "Wow, what a moment." Okay, tone it down, Jim Nantz.

    Tony...remember...January 4...Atlanta. It's not *quite* the Black Scorpion/Shockmaster voice but it's a little too close for comfort.

    Clusterfucky ending but some of Russo's worst instincts were reigned in, at least. Looking back after the 2002-03 Reign of Terror it's kind of amazing that HHH doesn't get to celebrate his new title win.

    Snow, about to be denied vengeance over the murder of his beloved dog, breaks free of handcuffs in a burst of adrenaline to stop the Boss Man from escaping the cage. Head makes his big return, and this is as bad as advertised. Ross teases us with the possibility of someone plummeting off the cage, but Snow just kicks the door open and leaves. No spots with any of the wrestlers and the rottweilers, which shows that as bad of an idea it is to have a stunt double get mauled by dogs in a backstage skit, it's worse to have dogs perform live.

    "If you know WCW, this is a no-brainer." Er...if you say so, Deucy. Brad does all the talking and this seems to be the start of WCWSN as its Jimmy Hart-booked standalone program.

    Christopher would need some sort of personal vendetta to carry over his PPW act, so as a one-shot hired-gun he's a little more limited in what he can do. Still, a good solid heel promo that gets the point across.

    Hell in a Cell is a pretty big gimmick for OVW and I like Flash's frustrated character--knowing Cornette, it was probably based on real feelings, either on Flash's part or his own.
  10. PeteF3
    Yeah, this was just total spot-fu, as is Grimes' wont, I suppose. The run-ins were sort of nicely chaotic but didn't really add anything since Bradley just pulled out a chain anyway. Despite the match not being much, I was pretty pissed when they went off the air in the middle of the match until I found they aired the finish the next week.

    I knew that TV was going to get smashed as soon as it was unveiled, but I liked Christopher's slow burn and his psychotic promo after whacking Hales with the light tube. "I'M WORTH MORE THAN A TV!!!"

    Heel play-by-play is usually death, but damned if Gertner isn't better at this than Styles. Guido remains an unsung hero of late-'90s wrestling and probably came along about 6 or 7 years too early, though he had a good career after this, too. A really fun TV match with a little bit of everything--mat wrestling, high-flying, death-defying spots into the crowd, and wrasslin' bullshit.

    I'm really not sure it's a given that Jericho got "permission" to do this. For one, it's easier to get forgiveness, especially from Vince. Second, it seems that negotiations began in earnest after an unsuccessful attempt to partner with NXT for his cruise.
  14. PeteF3
    PhotoShopped, apparently.

    Jericho's in an interesting spot right now--he made himself big through mid-card comedy, but he was signed with the expectation that he would be the next Shawn Michaels. Shawn could do comedy too, but not stuff that made himself the butt of the joke as Jericho often was. Chris, despite this attempt, still needed work on coming across as a true main event threat. But, he gets the on-screen credit for Ken Shamrock getting written off TV.

    Thank you for not bothering with the interminable "HHH runs the Gauntlet" series. Crowd goes nuts for the NAO reunion, and they're still babyfaces at this point. The Billy Gunn singles push is over, so I approve of that.
  17. PeteF3
    I actually think Robinson was being Sid's lackey and a straight-up referee at the same time, to show you just how adrift this company was. The sound was too quiet for me to pick up on much of what Sid said and I couldn't be bothered to change volumes, but he makes threats towards both Goldberg and Booker T.
  18. PeteF3
    Yeah, why wouldn't Test be in the Six-Pack Match? How do you end this Raw with anything besides all 6 guys in the Unforgiven main event brawling with each other? Going from there, why not end the show with the tag title change which has 4 of the 6 guys there already with another doing a run-in?

    Ross: "THAT WOMAN'S NAKED!" D'Lo flies off the strip club stage out of nowhere in a cool visual.

    Pepper gets a burial outside a cemetery since they won't let Al Snow in. Snow vainly attempts to cut a vicious promo on the Boss Man in this context, which is just absurd. We get a still shot of Boss Man relieving himself on the grave afterward just to class this show up a bit more.
  21. PeteF3
    On top of everything else that's horrifically wrong with this...as a relatively minor issue...if you ARE compelled for God knows what reason to run this angle, HOW CAN YOU RUN IT AT THE SAME TIME AS THE JARRETT-CHYNA FEUD? Where the fuck were the cops when Jarrett was assaulting Debra or the makeup lady?
  22. PeteF3
    Yeah, I don't know if the Kane stuff is necessary since there's no prospect of Undertaker wrestling anytime soon, and it's not like jabrones like Mideon and Viscera needed a bunch of protection. But hey, this isn't boring or anything and the crowd loves it. The tag titles change hands yet again.
  23. PeteF3
    Honestly I think Stephanie is really wasted having her first official match in this capacity. It was inevitable that she was going to get in the ring at some point, but it needed to be in a higher-profile program than this. Of course, with Sable gone there's no actual women on the McMahons' level, either. Maybe all the more reason to wait. Jarrett gets the biggest heel reaction of his life for attacking Debra afterward. It's cheap, but I have to give the devil his due: if the woman-beating gimmick works, it works.

    "Rock, can I keep this shirt?" Not sure if we're getting Rock vs. Undertaker or a Rock 'n Sock tag, but some sort of match is happening tonight. Or at Unforgiven. Or sometime in-between.
  25. PeteF3
    I appreciated the multiple fakeouts like Rock asking Louise her name and telling her what to do with the bottle of Maalox. Rock needed more of these segments where he comes off as likable.
