    This was bloated at points but it did feel like a fitting blowoff and was a pretty insane brawl to end this whole feud and send the Dudleys packing to Stamford. The Dudley's do continue to get a lot of offense over on especially SPike. The spot through the flaming table especially was brutal and really put over ECW as an alternative product on a national network. I am glad to see Balls and Spike pick up the win. ***1/2

    Corino continues to do well on the mic but looked like such a weenie in ring that it isn't too effective.

    Lita makes her debut and it isn't too impressive.

    OVW continues to get slightly better each week as I actually care about Damaja now where I didn't at all a couple of weeks ago. Fun brawl that while it was reminiscent of Memphis, it still was hate filled.

    Action didn't look great here but it was quite a spectacle at points. Muto does look like he would rather be anywhere else through most of it. I would say that Onita leaving is the highlight.

    Nakanishi continues his big push and I can't understand why. This felt like Nagata and three insufficient guys having a sub-par match.

    Damn, you guys are going at too fast a clip. I just finished the first one this morning. Holy crap was the action bad although I did think Parv was too tough on Mac Rivera. The Baron was also royally screwed in the first contest and Big John Studd rose up my ranks quickly of laziest wrestler of all time.

    Agree that outside venue makes this look different. Action looked fine but KaShin just simply wasn't a good enough junior to compare to the previous decade of stars. Him beating Kanemoto feels like the promotions agenda.

    The video was nice and hip for the time. Taz promo was a better way of showing how he had beaten some of the well known wrestling stars of the day. Taz continues to be one of the best promo men of 1999.

    Dawn Marie was featured a lot on the opening and she does feel the most natural of the group.

    Ive got Monster Truck Madness. I have no memory of this game whatsoever.

    Joey pushing Roller Jam. He goes down a list of guys that never won the ECW title. This came off as desperate.
  13. soup23
    I was pumped for both ECW and Monster Jam afterwards as we didn't get ECW tv where I lived.

    Is this Nitro? We get a turn for the sake of a turn and I don't remember this being spoken about at Judgement Day 2000. HHH is able to win after the HBK assist.

    Shane having custom shirts is cool. Steph wanted this to be right so that makes me ponder what the problem was Monday if she just says yes now. Mankind and Shane are having their match right now and Shane is being overexposed here a good bit. STeph gets violent a bit on Pete Gas and her and Test flee. HHH and Chyna come out to run interference and four days after Mankind pinned the world champion, he is beaten by Shane McMahon.

    What an amazing, draining match. I felt like my journey with FMW has climaxed with this. Hayabusa was someone I have been unsure of warming up to but he was great here with his huge highspots. Gannosuke is one of my favorite personalities for the year and his cut offs were very effective throughout the match. There was a ton of stuff in this match and a ton of nearfalls but they milked each one to the max and I was on the edge of my seat for the final ten minutes. That post match angle is also an all-timer and a wonderful piece of business. All hail 1999 FMW. ****3/4

    Guessing 2002 actually: 1. ROH 2. WWE 3. CZW 4. IWA-MS 5. NOAH I received almost everything from those five promotions for that year, by the next year WWE was off the grid and NOAH was more sporadic. By 2004, it was down to ROH almost exclusively as I went through my longest lull as a fan. Will be nice to hear some of the older fans in the heyday of the territory days. I vaguely remember the huge Saturday night Pedicino time slot but only really was watching WCW and WWF as a kid that I can recollect.

    My favorite discovery of the stuff I watched in prep for the set. No Fear has a big win under their belt so they start off the match showing..... NO Fear. I especially loved the added dickish strikes Takayama would throw Misawa's way. Ogawa gets targeted throughout the match and is seen as the weak link without a doubt. The finishing stretch was exciting and even in defeat, this match shows how elevated up the cards No Fear was becoming. The Takayama vs. Misawa match was ok but disappointing given the level of hate they showed here. **** 1/4

    Ivory has some nasty words for Sable. HHH's hat is grounds for a lawsuit for burning my eye socket. Vince saying that he is going after NBC is amusing for two reasons. 1) NBC will do the XFL in just a little over a year and 2) this shows that while wrestling was still at its peak popularity wise, it was still a long way from other forms of pop culture like Friends.

    We get Rena running down her lawsuit and what the final straw was. I do remember her being asked every time what the difference in Playboy and WWF television was for posing nude.
  21. soup23
    I thought this was fine as a way for HHH to win his first title. Shane was pretty minimal in his involvement and he plastered both Mick and rock with chairs.

    Fink can be humorous but him as Ralphus 2.0 is not what I think Jericho needed coming into the promotion. This also showed me how new the audience was as Warriors music got no reaction at all from the crowd.

    Lizzy Borden shows up on tv and makes a big first impression.

    Finkel gets told off by jericho in a quick backstage segment.

    I have to treat this as a pretty big dis to Test as Steph didn't seem to want to rush to marriage at all.
