    Pretty good match. They kept things moving on the outside and I never really got bored. I didn't think the work in the ring was too good but they had enough bells and whistles to keep it entertaining. Their WM17 match would be much, much, much better. The pop Mankind gets during his entrance really makes me think they should've gone with the triple threat option.

    Is Show being actively undermined by booking? Show looks like an idiot again by costing himself/Vince the match.

    Surely there must be ulterior motives here, no way anyone could believe Bart had the slightest chance here?

    Good last few minutes. Really like the ending.

    Bad booking but I do really like the ending to this match.

    The famous beer truck segment. Quite a block buster segment with a molten crowd and doing a good job hyping the rest of the show. Does make this RAW feel like a big deal. Vince is great selling the beer soaking.

    Not a great match but pretty fun. Cool to see Rey in this position.

    This match didn't do much for me at all. Mat work was nothing special, stand up was nothing special. A couple cool moves from Tamura but nothing mind blowing.

    This isn't a good match at all. There were a few decent spots in here taken by themselves but the match as a whole was worked terribly and was boring overall. Too long too. And what was up with the ending? The ref is about to award Lynn the belt ... why? Raven/Hayashi smokes this.

    Awesome short match. Hayashi's bump is totally insane and all the stuff with the chair was fun. Good stuff.

    Ha, funny to see Kurt looking like a generic early 2000s WWE rookie with the short trunks. Awful look.

    This is a match I was really anticipating, liking the build so much, and boy did it deliver. The match up is just great first of all, two legends who had been major rivals and perfect foils teaming together to take on two vicious rudos. This is great right from the entrances. The rudos dominate early on of course and it's a good beat down, and I really like how Casas tries to put up a useless fight right at the end of the first fall. Second fall Santo and Casas make their comeback and it's a GREAT comeback, the crowd is fired up and they really take it to the rudos, featuring an amazing tope by Santo. Salvaje hits a FOULE on Casas and is about to get another shameful win off of it but Baby Richard stops the other ref's hand right before the three count to award the fall to the tecnicos by DQ. Awesome spot. The foule does let the rudos get on top for the third fall though. Third fall is great and the ending awesome, Santo accidentally takes out Casas with a tope so the rudos are about to finish him off, but he ducks a double clothesline allowing Casas to make a comeback and they take it in a huge win and the crowd reacts big for it. Great post match with Scorpio attacking Santo as Santo demands his mask, looking downright homicidal and cutting a rage-filled promo. My MOTY so far.

    31:38 sounds awfully long for a singles juniors match, but what we have here is pretty awesome. I really like Kanemoto hitting a big chop toward the beginning of the clip in the same style Liger would hit a shotei. Also really liked Liger getting his knees up on a moonsault and following it up with some palm strikes to the ribs. Ending felt like a big deal.

    This felt like an All Japan heavyweight tag in a lot of ways. I liked the sense of escalation in this match, for the first half or so they worked most of it with a lot of chain/mat wrestling and working the FIP segments with lots of holds, but with good action sequences punctuating it every now and then and keeping things interesting. I really liked the sequence toward the beginning where Tanaka and Kuroda get one up on Hayabusa after he tries for a baseball slide. The way the worked the first portion of the match really makes the action toward the end feel like a big deal. There's a really great sequence ending in a big dive from Hayabusa during the ending strecth. The end stretch has really great heavyweight bomb throwing action but I really think this went too long and they got too kickout happy. After that assisted top rope diamond cutter everything was pretty much in "enough already" territory for me. End it around there and it would be mucn more of a MOTYC than it ended up being for me. Still a great match and I liked the double falcon arrow ending.

    So they're going with the conspiracy angle and Flair is clearly heel now. Alright. This is one hell of a spectacle. The dynamic is both interesting and weird. Flair is heel now, Hogan is going face, Goldberg is still solidly a face though. Hogan and Nash get heat on Goldberg but work as faces when Flair is legal. Nash taking out Goldberg to set up for Hogan's boot is a clear face spot but so is Goldberg spearing Hogan after the match. For now though I'll just enjoy this for what it is because this was a really cool main event. Opening stuff is great with Goldberg slamming Flair to make him start the match and Hogan and Nash getting a great round of offense in on him, then Goldberg comes in and Goldberg and Hogan do some cool clash of the titans sort of work. The Goldberg FIP draws on a bit much but then the match really comes back to life when Flair comes back in. Hogan Hulks up and its a huge moment with the fans totally into it. Non-ending as Robinson refuses to count for Hogan and then takes an awesome bump off a punch. Super fun main event segment.

    What overzealous film student do they have producing these skits? The acting is really weird to. Well the Nash/Torrie acting is weird, the David acting is just laughably awful. Dumb stuff that might be amusing in its dumbness if it weren't so long.

    Really good match here, this is an all-action bomb throwing Cruiserweight sprint. No killed time at all here, they work a super fast pace and start throwing out big offense right away. The crowd is super into it especially toward the end. Highlights include a great looking (and great sold) dropkick from Kidman to counter a Rey springboard, a cool counter of a powerslam into a roll up and a big move to end it. The ending moments are really dramatic and the crowd was reacting like it was a big-time main event.

    I really liked this match. Good tag structure, lots of star power, lots of heat and they kept the action moving and did come cool stuff. Mankind's FIP was good as was Austin's hot tag and they degeneration into chaos at the end was well done with a big table spot. This is one match I really wanted to have a real finish but hey it's 1999. In a very weak in-ring year for WWF this could be one of my favorite matches from them this year.

    B-plus player is right. Triple H feels so out of place in his position. He's obviously more than a midcarder and they're going to push him big soon, but compare him to the top guys, charismatic mega stars like Austin and Rock; an interesting, charismatic guy with amazing mic skills and sympathy like Foley; over the top ass kicker gimmicks like Undertaker and Kane ... what makes Triple H a cut above any of the other mid carders? The crowd doesn't seem terribly into this either. The Undertaker reveal though was unexpected and pretty well done I thought.

    This is a good short match, they keep things moving and the action is decent. Ending is unexpected.

    As Tony Schiavone says, "this is bizarre." If I didn't read it in Loss' post I wouldn't know this was a double turn. Is Flair bleeding and Robinson ignoring it intentional? I guess Hogan Hulking up is a signal he's turning face? Anderson comes out to help Flair cheat which I guess is supposed to be the heel thing but he beats up David first .. surely David Flair turning last month is still a solidly heel move and him getting his comeuppance is still supposed to pop the crowd. Well, okay, let's see what the follow up is. Bizarre is right.

    This is quite a long match at 25 minutes but I enjoyed it throughout and thought it very fun. I really don't much care for "innovative" offense and involved double team moves but here Crazy Max make it feel more like a gimmick than inherent to the style and the way they use that stuff to ham it up to get heat along with the taunts is fun. I really liked the first comeback from the faces where Taka just strolls in the ring while the heels are posing and casually pokes them in the eyes to break it up before going after one of them on the floor. There are some extended FIP sections and comebacks here. The end is really cool with Sasuke and Taka hitting big dives, Taka hitting a crazy corkscrew dive which was totally unexpected, to leave Naniwa in the ring to pick up the win. Really enjoyable match.

    This is more a tease for their big match coming up but it's still an awesome brawl on its own. Rudos lose both falls to DQ for beating down Casas and Santo too bad. The tecnico comeback in the second fall is really outstanding, tons of heat and well executed by both. Casas' comeback flurry of offense is great and Santo had just made his way back to the ring while trying to be held back by someone from backstage. Santo wipes out off a tope toward the end in a nice bump. This was awesome and I'm really into this feud, can't wait for the big hair/mask match.

    The follow up to the Summerslam match has made the Summerslam match COMPLETELY meaningless. I don't even know why they chose to work it like that now. John Cena's immediate booking the very next night he was on RAW made it so that the feud is now totally indistinguishable from how it would be if Summerslam were worked just like a regular match.

    This isn't as 'epic' or as good as the January tag but this is still awesome as hell. Greco is incredible here, busting out two really cool submissions including that crazy indian deathlock. He shows a lot of intensity in general and has a really good strike exchange with Yone. Otsuka might be the best in the match, he hits a fishermans buster from working the mat and busts out a rope climbing armdrag -- and keeping in the close-quarters spirit of the match follows it up immediately with a drop kick to the back of the head. The ending sequence is really great and clever.
