    Roach is actually the only person besides Harrison Ford to be in the first 3 Indy movies, though I think his part in Last Crusade is mostly cut.

    Someone on the F4W Board got a copy (some retailers are already selling it even though it's not out for a few more days) and posted some cool-to-know info: - No commentary on any of the matches. - At least one match (the tryout for "War Eagle" Chris Chavis) has the timecode still on the screen. - Carly Caruso and Sean Mooney are the hosts, with the idea being that they're going through boxes in the WWE vault and picking out what they find. At one point Mooney picks up a box labeled "T. MAGEE 1987-88" and goes "What's this? Oh, it's empty" and tosses it.

    Anoaro Atisanoe is sort of a mystery to me, too--from what I can gather he was actually a New Japan dojo guy, their attempt to create another foreign monster from the ground up, though he usually wrestled with the natives. His brother is probably a lot more famous than he ever was.

    It's about this:

    Truth hurt? No opinion on JR's more recent performances, but how "recent" is Bix thinking Long Beach is? Because there's no way to interpret that tweet as anything other than Ross was drunk at that show. (Also, I don't care about hypotheticals. Talk to me about what was actually going on, not stuff we're making up or coyly pretending to make up.)

    Stiller came to Cleveland to see some World Class Wrestling ™. Sorry Ben, no Von Erichs tonight and Michael Hayes was the night before. Stiller outclasses Hervey and Arli$$, not that that's all that impressive. As Ben rattles off his cast, I admit to laughing out loud when Lawler says, "Good to see Pee-Wee back in the theaters!" Ben makes the mistake of praising the puppies a little too much and gets his ass kicked. This segment does work, and really seems to piss off the crowd, leading to a big pop for D'Lo's save.

    Rock not being a star to Michael Cole. It's almost like they killed off Cole's credibility instead of properly grooming him to be the next voice of the company. This is pretty much Rock-by-numbers but Triple H being a "one-trick pony in a cheap trick circus" is a nice little phrase to turn.

    One touch that I'd forgotten about until just now is that Vince had "guaranteed" victory for the Undertaker. Every one of Vince's previous guarantees had come true--very cool, detail-oriented booking for that to come undone at this "end of an era." Vince tries to play the old villain "We're just alike, you and I" card and Austin isn't having it. Ah, definitive victories for WWE babyfaces, whatever happened to them?

    WHO IS SHANE DOUGLAS? Whether it's Cactus Jack in ECW or the Revolution here, Douglas talking about friendship will never stop being gag-worthy. Once again Flair is fingered as the cause of all of WCW's ills. This was around the time Douglas offered to bet his entire year's salary that he and Flair working a sufficiently-built program together could put on a quarter hour that would beat Raw. He lucked out that nobody took him up on that wager.

    Two minutes of material from him and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WILL JASON HERVEY CHOKE ON HIS OWN VOMIT AND DIE ALREADY. Savage is still in his own world--Road Wild and the end of Savage's meaningful career really can't come soon enough and it pains me to say that, but it's excruciating to watch Savage like this. Savage hunting for Rodman is better since it allows Savage to just do what he does best and that's go nuts. Savage makes a play to get into Rodman's trailer and Scott Hudson cuts Jason Hervey off and shuts him down as he's about to make another smartass remark, possibly clinching Announcer of the Year in the process.

    If WCW was looking for someone to make me pine for Arli$$ to return, then by God, mission accomplished.

    Jesus fuck, Sting just won the presidency like two weeks ago and I had already forgotten it happened. Oh well, the crowd's into things.
  13. PeteF3
    Yeah, this is pretty underwhelming build to a potential match that would have been red-hot 8, 10, or 18 months prior. We got a bizarre three-man heel tandem of Nash, Sid, and Rick Steiner. Clearly this "each of us pick a partner" challenge was a rather desperate and transparent attempt into getting people to think Scott Hall was coming back. Hogan is still in black and white but is otherwise back to his 1996 babyface self. Sting makes the save--in another world, coming down to the ceiling would have been a more effective visual, but, well...you know. Sting and Hogan stare at each other as Nash basically dares them to team up. Things are left ambiguous. I'm with Loss--this is not a great segment but it's 1984 Mid-South compared to some of the other angle and match set-ups we've seen on this show in 1999.

    Someone must have reigned Russo in. There are run-ins, but they at least make sense, and it's hard to really build up to a dramatic finish in a first-blood match. All in all an effective "ending" to this feud. Triple H cuts a video-exclusive promo that's far more of a traditional wrestling promo than the one on Heat--he even puts Austin over.
  15. PeteF3
    The Acolytes haven't found themselves yet and won't for a few more months. It's good to see the Hardyz in a prominent spot now even if they do the job here, but it might take the Dudleys to really re-ignite the tag division.
  16. PeteF3
    Weird if they were setting up Jarrett vs. Austin when they so clearly telegraphed HHH as the next big heel. But that's Russo's ADHD for you. "Undertaker, listen up, you BIG DEAD SON OF A BITCH."
  17. PeteF3
    Not-bad closing stretch. Edge no-sells an attempted bloodbath, but Gangrel recovers to cost him the title anyway.
  18. PeteF3
    Ignorance is bliss for Janeane, I guess, but I stand by my earlier question. If she thought SNL was a boys' club...
  19. PeteF3
    HHH begins to set up his new character. "You want me to shoot with this interview? I'm gonna [bleep]in' shoot with it." Yeah, Russoriffic all right. He refers to himself as "The Game" for perhaps the first time. "My time" is also said.

    Rusev asking for their release appears to be completely made up by Bill Bhatti of Sportskeedia, who's spread fake news before.
  21. PeteF3
    Unless the ranking is for a different Boot Camp Match, the MSG match aired on MSG Network complete.
  22. PeteF3
    Yeah, it didn't quite require putting 2 and 2 together to figure out where this was going. *Everyone* knew Jericho was jumping--even the copy-and-paste Internet newz sites couldn't get this one wrong.
  23. PeteF3
    Interesting semi-pro-shot footage of a Toronto house show where Edge is given an Intercontinental title win. Edge pretty much dominates the whole way. Initially Jarrett was going to retain the title due to the late substitution but Jack Lanza makes an impromptu overruling of an impromptu match to give Edge the title for real. "Championship opportunity" is said multiple times.
  24. PeteF3
    I could have done without the shooty-shoot "I ain't workin'" stuff but otherwise this is a chilling, standout promo.
  25. PeteF3
    This is AWFUL. "Cockpit" jokes? Really? Shit that was eye-rolling when it was said in the movie Airport '79? Cribbing lines from George Kennedy isn't going to make you look very anti-establishment, guys. Joel can't even be bothered to memorize his hack jokes so he has to read them off a clipboard. Either Gertner is a horrible comedian with no timing, or he's *pretending* to be a horrible comedian with no timing to draw heat--problem is, the only heat it draws is put on ECW itself for making us watch this.
