So bad luck for WWF as Raw was pre empted this week and had a saturday raw. So without any competition Nitro had the biggest rating so far in the monday night wars with over 6 million viewers!
Blah Bischoff and Hogan to start the show. He says Warrior has hid for 8 years and has fallin into Hogans trap now. He calls him out. And so Warrior does come out. He appears in the ring but then smoke surrounds the ring and when the lights go back on Warrior is gone.
Liveeee in Miami FL
Jim Powers vs Wrath. Squash.
Norman Smiley vs Scott Norton. Another squash.
Nash, Luger and Konnan are out for the Wolfpac. Doin their schtick. Nash says the wolfpac is a unit. They drew stars for 3 guys at fall brawl. Sting, Luger and Nash will be team wolfpac. Hogan, Hart and Stevie ray are team hollywood. Yes, Stevie Ray. DDP, Warrior and Piper team wcw.
JJ Dillon has Arn Anderson come down to talk one friend to another. He brings up the past and the 4 horsemen. Steve and a hurt Benoit come out. Big we want flair chants! Arn really just walks away...
Bat man like sign of the warrior
Brian Adams vs Eddie Guerrero. Eddie grabs the mic and talks about Bischoff and his suing.
The Cat v. Riggs. Guess theyre not tryin too hard with no raw on.
Konnan vs Marty Jannetty. Its okay, but another pointless match.
High Voltage vs Lodi and Saturn. Totally not feeling these matches.
Tony interviews DDP. Piper also comes out. They cut their promos on fall brawl. Giant attacks them! Lays them both out. Security comes for him.
More Steiner and Buff shit.
Evan Karagias vs Juventud Guerrera for WCW Cruiserweight Title. Match its actually decent. Best of the night so far. Evan has potential. Too bad he will get a dragged down gimmick in the future.
Disco Inferno vs Chris Jericho for WCW TV Title. Its aight
Goldberg beats a nobody.
Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart vs Sting and Lex Luger. Its ok but ends in controversy. Hart and Hogan start shoving each other. The smoke starts to come down. Rest of the NWO come out. Warrior appears in the smoke and the NWO is knocked out. :/ Hogan is alone with Warrior.
We start right off with good ol Gangrel. He takes on one of the lil asians. Nice squash for Gangrel.
Mero and Jacky cut a promo on sable the "skank"
Shamrock vs Bradshaw. Match doesnt really get to go too much as Vader attacks Bradshaw since they had this thing goin on.
Road dog vs a member of southern justice. More clusterfuck.
Undertaker and Kane time. They take on Animal and Droz. Theyre still doing the stupid ass drunk Hawk angle. These mathes are annoying. Its Russo just has to stuff 87228272 matches into a 45 minute show.
Edge vs Taka. Least this is semi decent.
Undertaker and Kane beat down Brisco and Patterson and call McMahon out. They want answers about the PPV! Vince doesnt come out.
D lo vs Val for the European Title. Too quick since its the 87228272 match in 45 minutes.
Vince is out. He calls out Kane and Taker. Vince says Taker deserves a rematch. Out comes austin! Vince says he has no idea why these fans stand behind Austin! He says Austin disrespected vince for the last time. He says at The PPV Austin will defend the title against Kane anddd the Undertaker! :O
Raw wasnt on again so Nitro is all by itself. It got close to 6 million viewers again. Hopefully they will take advantage of having the night to themselves unlike last week.
We start with NWO mad that Warrior painted their room. He continues to play mind games.
I guess Hart may be out of wargames :/
Konnan has a match.
JJ Dillon says Hogan wanted to switch Giant for Hart but doesnt look like that is possible
DDP talks about wargames. Wolfpac comes out during the promo. Nash, Sting and Luger all try and talk to him about trust. Sting wants a tag match against DDP and Piper tonight!
Back from the break. More fucking talking. Pipers time now.
Wrath vs Lenny Lane. A match :O a short shitty one.
Hart is out. Hennig and Stevie ray stalk him out. Sting comes out and clears Hennig and Ray out. Stings hnds his bat to Hart and turns around. Bret does not hit him and throws the bat down. Hmm
Some Buff and scott shit.
Hector Garza vs Juventud Guerrera for WCW Cruiserweight Title. Not bad not bad.
Hennig hypes up the steel cage match tonight.
The cat beats a nobody.
Chris Adams vs Stevie Ray. This fucking matches have become worthless.
Saturn vs Riggs. This flock thing sure has gotten beyond old.
Jericho time! He welcomes us to monday night jericho. Crowd chants along. He is the walrus goo goo cachoo. He takes on Jim Neihart. Not even Jericho can save the wrestling on this show.
Out comes Eddie. He says he hurt his back and so he cannot compete until he gets an MRI. The shoot against Bischoff, or, "Uncle Eric" continues.
Cage match! Curt Hennig vs Dean Malenko. Malenko is about to win but Rude and the NWO attack. Arn Anderson makes the save to a nice pop!
Goldberg beats a nobody. Idk how these nobodies get WORLD TITLE SHOTS!
Sting and Lex Luger vs DDP and Roddy Piper. Doesnt really have a chance. Has the usual non ending. Nash powerbombs DDP!
Hogan is out and calls out Warrior. Hogan is with the giant. The cage comes down. The cage then fills with smoke. Giant is Knocked out and Warrior is out on a chair. All around odd ending.
The show from a storyline aspect was decent enough. From a wrestling stand point it has fallen a whole lot. Arn Anderson stole the show.
Jericho is out and he talkin shit to Goldberg! Jericho says he has challenged Godberg and Goldberg has accepted for tonight!
1. Disco Inferno & Alex Wright vs Bulldog & Anvil Talk about boringgggg. 0.5/5
2. Title v. title: Goldberg vs Chris Jericho Jericho has his own fat security to lead him out of his locker. lmao. Good ol Ralphus. He gets lost coming to the ring. And his fucking tinyyyy fireworks lmao. Goldbergs music starts....and its a midget goldberg! hahahaha oh man good times. Jericho meets midget goldberg!! 2/5 but its highlyyy entertaining.
3. Norman Smiley vs Ernest Miller meh 1/5
4. Scott Steiner (w/ Buff) vs Rick Steiner God what a stupidddd ending with Buff Bagwells neck. 1/5
Pretty awful first hour other than Reliable entertaining Jericho, of course.
5. Silver King vs Juventud Guerrera for WCW Cruiserweight Title How do people get these title shots in WCW. Fast decent little match. Best match of the night which isnt sayin much. 2.5/5
6. Raven vs Saturn. The flock comes out towards the end. Kidman drop kicks raven! The rest of the flock chases him. This is where the match picks up and goes from aight to good. All the outside interference gets old tho. 3/5
7. Curt Hennig vs Dean Malenko Too short. Ends with a Hennig Rude beat down. Arn anderson tries to make a save but gets beaten down too. 1.5/5
8. Scott Hall vs Konnan Hall comes out drinking. blah blah. Its like Hawk in WWF and its stupid. The match is okay but pretty damn boring. 2/5
9. WAR GAMES: Hart, Hogan, Ray vs Luger, sting, Nash vs piper, warrior, DDP Winner gets title shot vs Goldberg at halloween havoc. Bret and DDP start the match. Stevie ray and sting are the next two. Sting kicks some ass. Out is Piper. He hits everyone including page cuz its every man for themself this year. Luger be next. Luger pounds on Piper. Nash time. Nice pop. Hogan comes out early before his time. He has a slapjack. Hogan and Stevie ray take over. Hogan drops 2 legdrops on Nash. Should pin. He covers but the ring fills up with smoke and theres the warrior! Hogan nails him from behind. Smoke again and warrior is gone. Warrior comes from the back. its confusing. Warrior chases hogan around. Meanwhile DDP hits a diomond cutter on Ray and gets the win! The match was aight but pretty meh 2/5
As a whole there was mostly meh or bad matches. Yet was mildly entertaining. I cannot give more than D tho.

Since Raw has been off monday for 2 weeks Nitro has taken advantage. Raw loses this week by half a million peeps.
Liveeee in San Jose CA
Out comes Austin! He joins Kane and McMahon in the ring. Vince is irate! He talks about his master plan and Austin having to defend his belt against both Taker and Kane. Vince has a new rule tho. Undertaker cannot pin Kane and Kane cannot defeat Taker so therefore they both must destroy and beat Austin. It is basically a 2 on 1 match. Kane and Undertaker attack Austin! He gets double chokeslammed. Mcmahon gets down in Austins face.
Austin must defend his title tonight against Ken Shamrock.
DX is out for their schtick. Road Dog vs Jeff Jarrett. Lot of history between these two. The match is sure nothin special.

Mankind vs Taker. Raw is puttin on some big time matches tonight. The rock ends up coming out of the dumbster and taking down Taker and basically saving Mankind. hmmm. Good hardcore brawl.
I mark out for Gangrels entrance every time. He takes on Edge who comes out from the crowd and attacks. The mystery of their past continues. A pretty good little match!
X Pac and Chyna vs Mark Henry. match isnt so good but mark slams chyna hard which is good to finally see her fucked up
Jacqueline vs Sable in an Evening Gown Match. attitude era shtick
Ken Shamrock vs Steve Austin for WWF Title. Great main event! Ruined by Kane and Taker coming out. Shamrock and austin brawl with the two. It eventually becomes 2 on 1 against Austin. Mankind and the rock come out and brawl with kane and taker!Austin comes in and whacks both Taker and Kane with a chair!
This was a pretty great raw! With some actual good wrestling. WCW is gonna have to step their game up because i cannot rely on them for good matches anymore.
Liveeeeee from Greenville SC! Pretty much flair country..
They announce Goldberg vs sting one on one! Well damn.
Tony discusses rumors of 4 horsemen tonight. Hugeee we want flair chants
Alex Wright vs Hammer. Clusterfuck with the cat

Piper doesnt want Hart to let down the people again! Hmmmm

More hall shit. Hall vs Luger. Bischoff comes out and gets in Halls face about his behavior. Out is Nash and Konnan. smh had this shit.
JJ Dillon is in the ring. He brings out Arn Anderson who is also all dressed up. Arn takes the mic and talks about a real pop from a crowd. He talks about a new beginning for the 4 Horsemen.

Arn says what a goof. He almost forgot the 4th horseman..Ric Flair! His music starts up. Out he comes to a huge reaction! He be trying to fight back emotions in typical pisces fashion. Crowd is going absolutely nutssss. One of the biggest crowd reactions fucking everrrrr during this segment. Flair starts to shoot on Bischoff! Soon Bischoff walks out. Flair then starts saying "Youre an obnoxious overbaring asshole! Abuse of power!" Followed by the classic "FIRE ME! IM ALREADY FIRED!" One of the greatest moments ever.
Main event time. Sting vs Goldberg. Because this shouldnt be a PPV main event or anything wcw -.-. DDP is on commentary. Great fucking match! Hogan comes out and kicks Sting in the head. This leads to a goldberg win. Hogan attacks Goldberg. Out comes the limping Hart who shoves down Hogan. Hart and Goldberg tend to Sting.
Wow a great Nitro! Both Raw and Nitro were great this night. Nitro perhaps a little better thanks to Flair! The war is onnn!
The ratings are down overall as Monday night football came back in September. Nitro is down more than Raw tho so Raw squeaks out a victory this week by probably less than 100,000
Sounds like Cornette and shane mcmahon are on commentary.
mankind, rock and shamrock are in the ring. Vince is there and pissy per usual. Vince says Austin will take on Kane and Undertaker tonight and Austin can choose one of the 3 as a partner but Vince tells them they should not be. Vince says they will have a triple threat match this week for the #1 contender. But if they will be austins partner they will not get that shot..
Road dog has a bruised throat thanks to double J. Billy Gunn vs Jeff Jarrett. Southern justice, x pac and road dog get sent to the bck by the ref. Ahhh JR and lawler are out shooting the man on the moon movie. Pretty decent match tho.
Austin time! He rants about tonights match and the PPV. Shane needs to not do commentary tho.

Jacky vs Sable for the womens title. Im so sick of Sable but thanks to Mero Jacky gets the win and the title!!
Austin is out for his match with Kane and Undertaker. Billy gunn comes out as Austins partner! Vince isnt pleased. Gunn is having a good night! This is actually a hot lil tag match. Billy gunn did well but takes the loss of course.
DoA vs Southern Justice. Nothing special.
Vince says he is dissapointed in Billy gunn being austins partner and that Taker and Kane are pissed off.
Sergeant Slaughter vs Al Snow. This is entertaining actually. Al wins a gets a contract! Brisco and Patterson beat him down after however.
Val Venis vs Owen Hart. Dustin runnels is on commentary with his religion. Dustin attacks Val during the match but Val gets the advantage. He ends up tied up in the ropes. He taunts Dustin about his wifes pleasures. He shows the latest video. Idk how Val is the face.
X Pac vs D'Lo Brown for WWF European Title. Another pretty good match. WWF is finally stepping their game up wrestling wise. X pac is the new champ. Shane is quite overly happy.
Mankind vs Ken Shamrock vs the Rock. #1 Contender match. The match is good but Kane and Undertaker ruin the match. They double chokeslam rock. Attack mankind. Austin coems from behind and attacks Vince!
Well the go home show to the PPV. Was certainly a step down from last week but was still a good enough raw. Im glad the wrestling is getting better. Some of the stories make me cringe tho.
Smoke appears in the ring and then the disiple is KOd in the ring. NWO comes out. Warrior yacks it up. Hogan and Warrior trade words. This is getting oldddd fast.
Barry Darsow vs Fit Finley. These people in WCW just disappear and then reappear. Nice win for Fit.
Wrath beats a nobody.
Rick Steiner beats a nobody.
Hogan is back out and calls out Warrior. Ugh. This shit man.
Raven and Kanyon vs Villanos. Raven is lookin vicious! Raven and Kanyon pulla double move and almost fuck up the neck of a villano. ouch. Least hes able to walk away.
Alex Wright cuts a promo. He takes on DDP. Wright starts off beating on DDP pretty good. But DDP pulls off a quick win. DDP then talks about his upcoming match with Goldberg.
Lenny Lane vs the cat. Hall drunkely comes to the ring. The match sucks.
They show Jericho avoiding Goldberg last week.
Jerry Flynn vs Saturn. These matches are pointless and atrocious.
Oh god Steiner and Buff time. This show is on a downward spiral. They call out Bret Hart. He limps out to the ring. They attack Hart. Sting runs out and makes the save.
Kidman vs Disco inferno. a good match finally. Wasnt all thaaat special tho.
Chavo Guerrero vs. Konnan. aight
Bischoff is out. He talks about Arn Anderson and Ric Flair. He says he is keeping Flair away for his own good. Out come the 4 Horsemen! Led by flair! Security officers and Police officers get in their way. The security step aside. Flair has the mic and the crowd gets louddd. Flair gets pissy! Bischoff wants Flair to hit him. Flair says he doesnt have another 2 million which is why Eric isnt picking his teeth up right now. Its impossible to not be entertained by Flair! Flair and Bischoff do not have good chemistry tho.
Stevie Ray and the Giant vs Kevin Nash and Lex Luger. Giant is filling in for Scott Hall. Ehhhhh
Hogan is back. Warrior comes out but Disciple is with him and in an OWN outfit. ugh.
Not too big of a fan of this show. Raw was certainly better. And Why the fuck is Goldberg, their champion and hottest person going never fucking on. Ahhh wcw. the absurdity.
Raw won the week in the rating by over a half millions viewers.
At the PPV both Undertaker and Kane pinned Austin. He is champion no more!
Austins music hits! But it is Vince who comes out with the cronies. Vince says with all the controversy he has to crown a new champion. The belt is placed around Vince. The crowd is livid.
Outlaws take on southern justice.

Vader vs Al Snow. Poor Vader.
6 man elimination match. Jarret vs Gangrel vs Edge vs Mero vs drox vs D lo. I enjoyed this match. Edge lookin good.
Vince and cronies are back out with the belt in a case. The detroit crowd chanting loud for austin. He calls out Kane and Undertaker. Austin is driving a zamboni and going nuts back stage!! He drives it out to the ring. Gets on top of it and dives into the ring over security and right onto Mcmahon!!! great moment. Austin is arrested. lmao Mcmahon is livid and callin austin a son of a bitch.
Vince goes back out to Kane and Taker and says neither are the champ. They are going to have to fight for it at the next PPV. Vince starts talkin shit to both of them. Kane and Taker attack Vince and fuck him up!
chyna and mark henry stuff
Val Venis vs X pac for the european title. Too short, of course
Shamrock, mankind and the rock vs Undertaker and Kane. This is a much better main event than nitro. But that is no surprise.
I enjoyed both shows this week. Wcw and wwf still have different strength and weaknesses. I wish nitro wasnt so damn long tho sometimes.
Bischoff is out. Arn comes on out. Arn says this is flair country and flair is here. Eric says he better not be. Out comes Flairs son Reid. The reaosn Flair got suspended for not showing up to a thunder. David Flair is in the audience. Reid does a 'Meannn woo Gene' lolol Reid says hes gonna handle his dads light work. Reid eventually knee tackles Eric down and then tackles him down again. Reid Flair struts. This is pretty hilarious. Eric has Miss Elizabeth call Flair. He argues with flairs wife. Flairs music hits.
Out comes Ric! NWO surround the ring. Out come the horsemen! David flair also hops into the ring. That was a fun segment!
Sting vs Bret Hart. Hart runs to the back. Sting follows him. They fight around catering. continue to brawl around everywhere. The show ends oddly.

Vince mcmahon is in the hospital. Mick Foley is there. Mankind brings in a clown for vince! He also has another special guest. Mr Socko!! Vince gets frustrated lmao.

Gangrel is out. Christian is at his side. Gangrel takes on Van Venis. Edge comes out through the audience and confronts Christian. Gangrel attacks Edge. Christian aso attacks him.
Al Snow vs Jeff Jarrett. eh.
Road Dog vs Mark Henry. DX problems seem to be continuing. Thanks to Chyna, Road dog is able to get a victory.
We see Vince back at the hospital. The doc comes in sounding a lot like stone cold...it is and he attacks mcmahon! Including the classic moment of just walloping him with a bed pan! Also sticks and IV up his arse..
Rock vs Undertaker. After the ref gets knocked out. Kane clocks Taker with a chair. Rock bottom! But the ref is knocked out so no 3 count. Taker eventually tombstones rock on a chair.

Vince says some time tonight austin better get eyes in the back of his head. Vince says he has been suffering but Austin is going to suffer more. Vince says of Austin doesnt raise the hand of a champ this sunday he will fire his ass! Austin says vince doesnt have the balls to do that. Vince says he HAS BALLS THE SIZE OF GRAPEFRUITS!
Semi finals for the title tourny. Shamrock vs Val Venis. Shamrock wins. Val is down on the mat. Out comes Goldust! Goldust beats him down in the corner. Gives him a curtain call.

Tourny continues. Mankind vs X PAC. Shamrock attacks Mankind with a chair. Giving X Pac a win. . Shamrock beats down X pac badly. X pac still wants to do the match up next. X pac vs Shamrock. HHH is at the announce table. X pac doesnt have it in him to over come the odds. Shamrock is the new intercontinental champ.
Kane and Undertaker vs Rock and Austin. Paul Bearer is there. High profile main event. towards the end of the match Big Boss Man randomly arrives and bats down Austin with a nightstick. Vince is pleased as he watched from his wheelchair. Taker and Kane beat on Austin.

Juvi vs Prince Iaukea. Kidman is out. Disco is also out. all the top contenders to Kidmans title. This is good for the time they had. Disco tries to cost Juvi the match but it backfires. Kidman comes and the 4 brawl. I still love me some cruiserweights.
Wolfpac time. Nash talks. Drunk Hall interupts.
Jericho time! Raven takes him on for the TV title. This match gets a little hardcore. Raven has a chance to win, but Jericho reverses into the Liontamer for the win! Raven is on a losing streak. Jericho mocks Goldberg.

The set up for Halloween Havoc is greatttt. Pretty good Nitro. Some good matches and Angles.
Balloons and confetti falling from the ceiling. Vince has had all the wrestlers go to the ring. There will be a title tournament at Survivor series to finally determine a champ. Vince puts up a freeze frame of Austin. Vince hypes up his power...and balls :/
Austin arrives in the back! And seems to have a gun..
Vince is stowed away in a room.
Shamrock vs X pac. Champ vs champ but it is a non title match. DX is shown is Motley crue earlier in the day. More Mankind and Shamrock stuff as well.

Headbangers vs LOD. This fucking LOD story needs to go.
Undertaker is out with Paul Bearer. Theyve reuinited with a vision of darkness. Paul says he will have no use for Kane anymore. Kane comes to talk in his robotic voice and wants a casket match.
Jeff Jarrett vs Steve Blackman. Debra is with Jeff! Al SNow gets guitared.
Vince is alone with a phone ringing. Stone cold says hes coming to get him.
Austin catches Vince in his wheel chair!!
Rock vs D LO brown. Rocks new theme atm is shit. The people are getting quite behind the rock! Mark Henry interferes and the two beat rock down.
Austin holds Vince hostage in the back. He has vince squealing like a pig lolz. He threatens to break vinces legs like kathy bates in misery.
Mankind vs Val Venis. Shamrock pays Mankind back from earlier and costs him the match. Mankind and Shamrock brawl.
Austin meanwhile is still torturing mcmahon.
Kane vs Taker in a casket match. Nothing special. These two can stop wrestling each other now dammit.
Austin wheels Vince out to the ring...
Vince cries in the middle of the ring. He has something special for vince. Austin pulls out a gun. Puts it to Vinces head. Pulls the trigger...a flag with "bang 3:16" on it pops out. Austin says vince mcmahon screwed vince mcmahon. lolz. Vince even pisses his pants. Stunner!
Well the wrestling was shit. But the main angle was entertaining.
Theyre sure hyping up the night a lot to start tho. I guess Buff is going to be in Rick Steiners corner tonight against Scott. Yeah thats smart :/
1. Chris Jericho vs Raven for the TV title Raven whines in the corner about his losing streak. Raven doesnt want to wrestler but Jericho says all the jerichoholics came to watch him tonight! Match starts intense after they share words! Match manages to stay at that pace too! Fans are quite behind Jericho! Fantastic opening match! 4/5
More talking :/ Hogan and Bischoff.
2. #1 contender's match: Disco Inferno vs. Juventud Guerrera Juvi carried this match imo. Decent match. 2.5/5
3. Alex wright vs Fit Finlay 2/5
4. Cruiserweight title match: Kidman vs. Disco Inferno A decent cruiserweight title defense. 2.5/5
5. WCW World tag team title match: Scott Steiner & The Giant v. Rick Steiner & Buff Bagwell Oh Lord :/ Clusterfuck city! Bagwell turns for the 92729272 time? WHy yes he does. 0/5
6. Scott Hall vs Kevin Nash The NWO matches are starting and the PPV is heading downward. Coincidence? Not that good of a match of course. 1.5/5
7. Bret Hart vs Sting Bret finally has his good wcw theme. This match is disappointing. Very. 2/5
Sting is stretchered out. Bret beat him with his bat.
8. Hogan vs Warrior II God. Another clusterfuck. Soooo must worst than the epic mania battle obviously. 1/5
In typical WCW fuck up fashion, the PPV ran too long and the feed cut off before the main event! However did WCW go out of business.
9. DDP vs Goldberg for the heavyweight championship A saving grace! A real match for Goldberg and it is kickass! Page gets one hell of a match out of him. Possibly goldbergs best match ever. Crowd loved it too! 4/5
As a whole it was another dissapointing WCW ppv. But it started hot and ended hot(even tho people in 98 missed the ending). It was good enough for a C- if you get passed most of the middle part 😛

Out comes Vince McMahon and his cronies. He is upset about what Austin did last night. Vince has gotten some lawyers together against Austin. Austin is mocking Vince in the back.
Steve Blackman vs X Pac for the European title. Steven regal in his ridiculous attire ends up attacking x pac. New age outlaws run out.
Droz vs Rock. I fucking hateee this LOD story.
DX is with Motley crue who concerts it up on stage. They sound decent enough.
Kane vs Gangrel. Gangrel doesnt fair to well. Christian and Gangrel try and beat on Kane after but that doesnt work to well. Edge comes out and ends up helping Gangrel and Christian.. Edge joining them came out of NOWHERE.
Here comes Austin. Austin is still employed thanks to Vines son shane! Talking about last week and his toy gun. Vince comes out and says he will find a way to rid of austin and he wants to hear austin say he quits. In an I quit match tonight with Ken Shamrock! Vince talks shit about shane. Shane comes out and goes to the ring with Austin. Shane says he doesnt listen to Vince anymore. Shane berates Vince and his ego. Some king of emotional moment takes place between father and son. Shane says he is standing up to his dad finally!
Tiger Ali Singh vs the Godfather. Nothing special.
Vince is still heartbroken.
Kaientai v. the Oddities. Ugh.
Marc Mero vs Goldust. Another nothing match.
New Age Outlaws vs Mankind and Al Snow. ehhhh
Ken Shamrock v. Steve Austin. Shamrock is kicking Austins ass. Mankind ends up attacking shamrock! Austin whacks ken with a chair. This knocks him out and Austin taps his hand for him. meh.
Raw kicked Nitros arse by close to a million viewers.
We are just 6 days away from Survivor series and the big tourney for the title!
X Pac apparently challenged Taker. Taker lunges at X pac with a vengeance! Lights quickly go out and out comes Kane. These two have been feuding for the most part of a fucking year and a half. Kane shoots a fireball at Taker but Taker pulls X pac in the way :/ Right in the kisser
Mankind is with his newly acquired Hardcore championship! Its looking nice and messy. Vince is sorta courting him..
Val Venis vs Steve Blackman. Terri is pregnant and Val says he had a vasectomy so he cnt be the father. Vince Russos finest right here. Terri costs Val the match. Owen/blue blazer attacks Blackman.
Road dog vs D lo vs Mosh. Shane Mcmahon is ref. Vince demoted him. King says people are guaranteed to see all of this PPV. A nice shot a Halloween Havoc. lolz. Mosh gets the random ass win.
Goldust vs Jeff Jarrett. Not bad.
Rock has arrived. He must beat Mark Henry tonight or is fired thanks to Vince.
Hardcore titie: Mankind vs Ken Shamrock. No hold barred. Mankind is out in a tux. Vince gave him a makeover. Vince and goons are out to watch. Falls also count anywhere in this match and the match spills out of the ring. Ken ends up getting a nice belly to belly into the steps. This is a hardcore battle! Bossman whacks ken with the nightstick and that gives Makind the win to retain the title. Good hardcore match.
The rock has apparently been attacked . Austin time! He thanks shane for reinstating him for 5 years. Austin talks about Vince. Bossman interupts. They fight in the first round at the PPV. Not a good feud.
emts are workin on the rock.
Brood vs Kane. Stupid. The Brood deserve better.
Vince says Rock must fight and win or he is fired! Out comes Shane. He tells his pops to cut the crap. He is taking his frustrations out on everyone. Shane says to take his frustrations out him him like he always did. Vince tells Bossman to get shane! Shane is about to take it but Austin attacks Bossman! Shane and Austin walk back together..
Rock is far from 100 percent but still battles Mark. Ref gets knocked out rock hits rock bottom. Shane runs out to make the count. Vince gets rock bottomed and a peoples elbow!
A bit hectic and the wrestling was as meh as usual but an exciting show and a GREAT set up for the PPV tournament
The tournament to crown a champ! The buyrate was pretty big. Almost half a million. Taker and Kane basically got buys in the first round so will meet in the 2nd round. Rock vs HHH. Goldust vs shamrock. Mankind vs mystery opponent. Jarrett vs Al Snow. X pac vs regal. And austin vs bossman are thr first round matches.
Vince hobbles to the ring. mankinds mystery opponent is some Dwayne Gill. The fix is in..
Im not gonna rate these matches because most are going to be short.
Al Snow vs Jeff Jarrett. Nifty little short match. I mostly just wanted to use the word nifty tho.
Bossman vs Stone cold. This one started action packed but ends quick. Austin wins by DQ as Bossman beats him with his stick.
X pac vs Regal. Both end up getting counted out and Austin would get a bye but Vince sends Slaughter out for sudden death. But it is offical.Tourney is a mess.
Shamrock vs Goldust. Slow moving match.
Triple H was suppose to face rock but is still hurt. HHH's replacement is Big Bossman. Lolz. Rock rolls up Bossman right away and wins quickly.
Hectic ass first hour.
2nd round begins. Kane vs Taker. Typical match between these two. Taker is in the semis.
Al Snow vs Mankind. Another short one.
Rock vs Shamrock. Best night of the match this far def! Still too short tho.
Jackie vs Sable. Shane is the ref. Not bad, not bad.
Mankind vs Austin in the semi finals. Decent match. Vince pulls the ref out and punches him out. Austin hits the stunner. Shane is out to count. 1...2....he stops...and flips austin off! Love that moment. Slaughter and Brisco come in and austin gets whacked with a chair. Mankind gets the win after the McMahon family screw job. Good stuff.
Undertaker vs The Rock. Bossman is out yet again. Kane comes out also and chokeslams rock and rock therefore wins by DQ. Its a Mankind vs Rock finals.
DX vs D lo and Mark henry vs headbangers. Tag titles. Meh match. Big pop for the outlaws win.
WWF TITLE: Rock vs Mankind. Shane and Vince walk out together. They try and taunt rock. Match turns into a brawl. Anything goes in this match. Mankind eventually gets out socko! Mandible claw. Rock hangs on. Rock bottom! Big pop! Both are down. Rock puts mankind in sharpshooter. Vince says ring the bell!! Screw job part II. Rock is the champ and happily presents him with the title. Shane, Vince and rock all embrace! Mankind calls Vince dad and wants to know whats up. They all beat him down. The 3 celebrate. Austin comes out! Stunner on rock! stunner on mankind! end show.
First hour was a pain in the ass. For wrestling this is a bad show. Soooo many matches and most sucked, but from an entertainment aspect this has some huge moments.

Blah Bischoff and Hogan to start the show. He says Warrior has hid for 8 years and has fallin into Hogans trap now. He calls him out. And so Warrior does come out. He appears in the ring but then smoke surrounds the ring and when the lights go back on Warrior is gone.
Liveeee in Miami FL
Jim Powers vs Wrath. Squash.
Norman Smiley vs Scott Norton. Another squash.
Nash, Luger and Konnan are out for the Wolfpac. Doin their schtick. Nash says the wolfpac is a unit. They drew stars for 3 guys at fall brawl. Sting, Luger and Nash will be team wolfpac. Hogan, Hart and Stevie ray are team hollywood. Yes, Stevie Ray. DDP, Warrior and Piper team wcw.
JJ Dillon has Arn Anderson come down to talk one friend to another. He brings up the past and the 4 horsemen. Steve and a hurt Benoit come out. Big we want flair chants! Arn really just walks away...
Bat man like sign of the warrior
Brian Adams vs Eddie Guerrero. Eddie grabs the mic and talks about Bischoff and his suing.
The Cat v. Riggs. Guess theyre not tryin too hard with no raw on.
Konnan vs Marty Jannetty. Its okay, but another pointless match.
High Voltage vs Lodi and Saturn. Totally not feeling these matches.
Tony interviews DDP. Piper also comes out. They cut their promos on fall brawl. Giant attacks them! Lays them both out. Security comes for him.
More Steiner and Buff shit.
Evan Karagias vs Juventud Guerrera for WCW Cruiserweight Title. Match its actually decent. Best of the night so far. Evan has potential. Too bad he will get a dragged down gimmick in the future.
Disco Inferno vs Chris Jericho for WCW TV Title. Its aight
Goldberg beats a nobody.
Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart vs Sting and Lex Luger. Its ok but ends in controversy. Hart and Hogan start shoving each other. The smoke starts to come down. Rest of the NWO come out. Warrior appears in the smoke and the NWO is knocked out. :/ Hogan is alone with Warrior.
Subpar show for sure.
