[1999-08-02-WCW-Nitro] Randy Savage and Dennis Rodman

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Gorgeous George is missing. Savage's candidacy for President of the United States is on hold in light of what is going on. George is under lock and key, and that booking has to be a rib. Savage calls Dennis Rodman out. Is that Jem on the back of his shirt? Instead, he gets Mona. She begs for Savage to re-hire her. He bullies her a little bit to demand her loyalty. He wants Mona to beg for her job back on her knees and then tells her she is still fired. Rodman comes out with Swoll and 4X4 and calls Savage "Macho Asshole", which gets bleeped. Lots of swearing from both guys, actually. Rodman tells Savage once you go black, you never go back in relation to George. Mona has enough of all the trash talk and low blows Savage before leaving the ring, then Rodman hits Savage with a clothesline. Bischoff apologizes for the language, but screw it - this was a fun segment. An actual, honest-to-God fun WCW segment that made me want to see a match.

Fun segment. Savage can still talk and still has loads of charisma so it's nice to see him in something that isn't over the top awful like the Nash feud. Mona's delivery is just comically bad.

[Tim Evans]

Mona is way too nice to be in the wrestling business. Savage like usual in this feud is excellent. Rodman looks like he made his jacket on his own with stuff from the trash. Good segment to build up to the match in Sturgis.

[Zenjo]

Some swearing and mild racism that gets bleeped out. Bischoff is having fits as he's going to take the flak for it. This was really intense and a fun segment. Rodman is better on the mic than last year. I wouldn't say I want to see the match because one guy is barely trained as a pro wrestler.

[soup23]

By far the best stuff Savage has been involved with this year. He was able to get some heat on Mona by being a prick to her and actually gain some sympathy to Rodman.

Well, angry and annoyed Bischoff is better than laughing hyena Bischoff, I'll say that. I wasn't as wild about this segment either as everyone else, but it's 1984 Mid-South compared to the Nash feud, so I guess we'll take what we can get.
