Agree 100% with Loss. Jason Sensation was the best. This wasn't as funny as I thought at the time. Blackface is never funny.
-
Good stuff and something that is definable pro wrestling.
-
Yes. Hall had to have been wasted. The match was awful and Hall could barely stand up. Just bad. Piped in Goldberg chants.
-
Bagwell is awful. Totally clueless.
-
Best Malenko/Jericho interaction of the year.
-
Mongo in short bursts is tolerable.
-
Best Malone/DDP segment so far. I enjoyed their involvement in Goldberg/Hall and Goldberg/Hogan segments as well.
-
Bad segment in a bad location with a totally useless Paul Silva. I've not liked anything I've seen from Power Pro aside from Lawler v. Kane.
-
precursor to MizChicken vs. Col. Ziggler.
-
At least he has better ones when Chastity and Sandman debut, even though they go nowhere.
-
Huge pop for this announcement.
-
Agree with everything said here. Jericho back to form after the stupid running from Dean stuff. -
Let me just say, Shane Douglas on commentary sounds like a doll with a pull string that just says random phrases. Seriously just listen to this again and Douglas speaks in one sentence sound bites that sound like recorded phrases for a Buzz Lightyear doll. The match sucks, but at least there was a title change.

I agree 100% with Pete on this one.
-
ECW quality has been declining since Barely Legal and it would continue to do so. Same old shit here.
-
Karl's high-waisted pants and speaking ability made this awful. What was the point of driving the semi so long? What is with Malone's head and arm choke move?
-
This was Austin's title as Kane as champion stunk, but it was a means to an end.
-
I was done with Taker by this point. He was rejuvenated with his biker gimmick and switch back. Decent segment, nothing special.
-
Dick Togo is an amazing wrestler. Val Venis may be one of the worst ever (haven't seen his Mexico stuff). Mrs. Yamaguchi is a beautiful young lady.
-
fantastic segment. Better than the rest of the feud combined. Austin is on fire.
-
Overbooked garbage.

Oh, this match. It can be summed up as Fall > Fall > Tacks > Tacks > Tombstone > Pin, but I have a bit more to say. First, Foley has a very difficult time climbing to the top of the cage and it's borderline embarrassing. Trying to convince me that two gladiators are about to go to war while one of them has trouble navigating a chain-linked fence is a hard feat. Second, they went to the toss of the cage way too soon. They should have brawled a few more minutes to build it up. Foley took a flat bump on the table so I think he hurt his shoulder trying to climb the cage. Third, way too much bullshit killed any momentum this match could have had as Foley should have got up earlier. It sounded like he was telling Funk that they needed to keep the action going and Funk telling him to fuck the match. Fourth, I don't believe for a second that the second bump through the cage wasn't planned. My evidence is: a) They both avoid that section of the cage during the first trip up The fence tore away on the opposite quadrant as they were walking across the first time which indicated gimmick as the rest of the cage held up. c) The perimeter of the piece that broke had metal stripping around it that points to being gimmicked. d) Foley braces for the fall and not for a two foot choke slam. I don't think the chair falling on his face and busting up his mouth was planned, but it added to it. At this point Foley knew this was his career defining moment so he smiled and did all the lame brawling. Tacks are a cheap pop. All of this and he's out for the main event to take a stunner. The revisionist history and focus this match has, especially the lame moment in Holy Foley where he goes with Noelle to the WWE Storage facility and has a "moment" with the HITC cage is beyond stupid. The falls off the cage knocked the talent out of Foley for the next 17 months and it only came back a handful of times past that.

So Shamrock's KotR win that gets forgotten ten minutes later. At least he got his win over Rock that stuck this time after jobbing to him through Dusty finishes for the first six months of the year. I'll go back and watch the match in full later, but this was okay for what was shown.

Liked the angle and the promo, but, and this may not be politically correct, Randy Hales looks like a retarded kid and that takes me out of all interest in him as anything beyond an announcer.
-
I wish this was available in full or almost full because it looks like Lawler got a good match out of Kane. Probably political that they couldn't show the finish, but what they showed, it looked good.
