[1999-11-29-WCW-Nitro] Jushin Liger vs Juventud Guerrera

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

They have Liger for a week and this is what they do with him. Infamous match where Juventud breaks a tequila bottle over Liger's head to win the IWGP title, destroying New Japan's relationship with WCW. Meanwhile, Brad Armstrong does a terrible stoner libertarian parody on commentary. No heat for this, which is sad.

I thought Brad's gimmick was supposed to be a bad parody of Road Dogg? Yeah this was sad. They were having a good match but no one cared. Tony tried to call the match but Heenan or Brad kept interrupting him. RUSSO

This should have been a good match, and they were having a bit of one despite some awkward moments. Dumb ending, awful distracting stuff with Armstrong.

We can't have any focus on those little foreign midgets, we've got Buzzkill and he's got a SIGN! Buzzkill rambles about InfoWars or some such and Schiavone doesn't even attempt to dignify the gimmick, referring to him as "Brad." Buzzkill is Russo's wet dream, a guy who's actively against the idea of wrestling. He says "cat" and "dig" a lot. Tony actually sounds pretty excited to see Liger again and works hard to put him over, but of course none of that matters. Johnny Boone is confused by the idea of Buzzkill merely standing at ringside not doing anything and doesn't see a bunch of glass or tequila on the mat. Five seconds after the bell we're with Chavo Guerrero, Jr. backstage. I may be overreacting but this is a real low in WCW history to this point.
