Nitro got Hugeeee ratings this week so destroyed w in the ratings.
The show starts right off with DX and a presidential address on how they get in trouble every time they say something the Network doesnt like. from the hours from 9 to 10 and they will only use the words "ass, damn and Hell" they then start to get bleeps out for the words they will never use. Shawn they says he did not sleep with an intern. He was up. all. night!

Liveeee in Indianapolis indiana.
Out comes DX. They are rallying for Tyson vs Austin. Out comes Austin! Austin and shawn get in each others face. Austin appreciates that they are out to promote Austin vs Tyson since Austin can beat the living crap out of Mike Tyson. He says regrdless of that fight shawns ass belongs to stone cold steve austin. That damn belt is coming with stone cold whether he likes it or not. Shawn and Hunter just stand there. Warms my heart that they cant do their stupid dx schtick with austin. Hot start!

Chainsaw Charlie v. Cactus Jack. Hardcore battle. They basically beat the fuck out of each other and foleys jumps on funk inside a dumpster. Then the new age outlaws come out and oush the trash can off the stage!!

Cactus and Chainsaw are checked on. Many wrestlers come out in the horror. Some brawl with the NAO. Cactus and Chainsaw are stretchers out. Afterwards, DX tell NAO to suck it up and to think about themselves.

Pretty hot first hour. Owen hart vs Billy gun starts the second hour. He attacks both Billy and Road dogg. Hunter comes to ring side. Match breaks apart when DX interferes. They talk about ratings. (ironic since they got their asses handed to them this week) DX and NAO beat on Owen. Theyre gnna throw Owen off the ramo too but WWF officials come out and break it up.

Its been a chaotic show but a good one since its focused on main stories. but here comes marc mero and headbangers to ruin that. Mero is sick of Sable tryin to ruin he spotlight. He wants her to go to the back and forces her to.

Farooq vs Chainz. Nation is out. Shamrock, Ahemed and the rest of the chain gang is out. The match fallas apart. Farooq is having trouble with the nation.

Jeff Jarrett and Barry Windham vs. Bradshaw and Flash Funk. More chaos.

Some guy is bragging about Wrestlemania being sold out. Then Kane comes and kills him. Vader comes out and uses a fire extinguisher on Kane. Twice.

Road Dog v. Steve Austin. They go at it intensely to start. DX comes out quick however. Shawn and Hunter drag him out and then its 4 men against 1 yet again. 5 counting Chyna. They tie Austin in the ropes so shawn can get in his face and talk shit to him on how he will never get the title. Out comes Cactus Jack! Still in an IV from the hospital allegedly. Funk also comes down with his chainsaw! Stone cold chases after DX.

Man Raw is slowly finallyyyy getting better. Most shows are hard to watch but this wasnt one of them. It told a great story and was hot most of the night. I may like it more than Nitro for the first time in awhile.

Liveeee in san antonio.
Allegedly their texas debut and they have sold out the alamo dome. They say Savage against Sting the main event tonight.

Juventud Guerrera vs. Psychosis. Decent opener. I like when they do cruiserweights in the first hour to start the show off hot.

Out comes DDP. Mean Gene tells DDP about his and Benoits similarities. Benoit has never gotten a WCW title shot apparently. I dont think thats true. I guess Benoit and DDP will have a match on Thunder. Which is wont be watching cuz I cant find it on the internet.

Ultimo Dragon vs. Kidman. Another good lil match. After Saturm attacks Dragon.

Nash is pissy because Kidman just gave a power bomb. He says the problem must not be the move but the person who does it.

Jericho time! Jericho says he has been coming out every week and apologizing when apologies were not necessary here. He says whats necesarry is a great big thank you to all the jericholics for making him the champ he is today! He is sad Res injury happened during his match nd says he hopes it never ever happens again.

Jericho vs super calo. Funny moment when Jericho gets fucked up by a move and starts yelling for someone to help him! lmao. Jericho makes quick work of him short after that though.
A solid first hour of wrestling matches. Something we will prolly never see on a 98 or 99 raw.

Steven Regal vs Booker T for WCW TV Title. Okay match. Too fast.

Hall is out with Dusty Rhodes. He surveys it up. He then bitches how he hasnt had his world title shot for winning world war III yet. Hall then takes on Jim Neidhart.

Mark Starr v. Goldberg. I wonder who wins.

Steve McMichael and British bulldog have a rematch. They should stop putting these two together :/

Hogan and Bischoff do their crying and shit talking.

Raven vs Disco Inferno. Not bad, not bad.

Nash and Bagwell Vs Steiners. Odd combo of Buff and Nash. Scott wins the match by himself when he refuses to tag Rick in. Lolz at Nash during this whole segment.

And now the mainnnn event. Sting vs Macho man. Stings entrance lasts forever and takes too much time. Match is ok tho too short. Savage is actually almost about to get the win but Hogan stops it and attacks Macho. Macho and Hogan are about to go at it but Luger comes out and attacks Macho. This leaves Sting alone with Hogan but the NWO comes out.

Show was good, but mostly because its different from Raw since it actually has good wrestling. I do think they keep making Sting look too weak though. Raw was actually the more exciting show for once though. 3 hours is really long :/

They start with highlights of Bam Bam beatin on Chris Candido. WWF's Sunnt, candidos real gf comes to his aid. Bam Bam is then about to slam both Sunny and Francine but Shane Douglas helps them. Which helps RVD get a win over Bigelow.

First match is Triple threat(douglas, storm and Candido) vs Bam Ban and Taz. But, no! During the match, Bam Bam turns on Taz and helps triple threat beat on Taz. Candido then turns on his tag team champion partner Lance Storm! They beat on storm. The original triple threat i back together! Awesome turns.

Justin Credible vs Hamada. A nice beat down by Credible.

Show ends with a promo from the reuinted triple threat talkin their shit about Taz and Lance storm.

Nice storyline for this show.

Both Raw and Nitro ratings went down this week. Nitro still kicked raws ass by a million and half viewers tho.

Show starts with Sunny dressed as Marilyn Monroe singing happy birthday to Freddie Blassie.

Theyre in Evansville Indiana.

Austin time! He is pissed about last week and Shawn rubbing the belt in his face. Huge Austin chant! DX comes on the titan tron. Talk their shit about last week. Shawn says he will come out and slap the taste out of Austins mouth again. Austin says he knows shawn wont come out for the hell of it because he will beat his damn ass! Austin has stolen Shawns WWF title! And has it in the ring and wants Shawn to come get it.

They recap LODs losing streak. LOD takes on Jeff Jarett and Barry Windham. LOD continue to fall apart. But Bradshaw interferes.

Pierre v. Henry Godwinn. MEH

Brian Christopher and Pantera v. Aguila and Taka Michinoku. Also nothing special.

Kane and Paul Bearer our. Paul says this sunday they take him out much like Undertaker and Taker is gone for eternity.

The first hour was a hugeeeeee drop from the last week episode.

Ken Shamrock and Chainz v. Farooq and the Rock. Match is actually not bad and after Shamrock snaps! Including on his own teammates.

They show highlights of a wrestlemania press conference. Mike Tyson will be the special enforcer. Pretty good highlights.

Then we get some shitty storylines. Theyve done the oppisite of what made last weeks Raw so good and show all these lil shit tastic wrestlers.

New Age Outlaws come out mocking Funk and Foley. They re-enact pushin the trash cans off the Stage again with crash dummies in it.

Goldust and Mero are odd partners.

andddd im just gonna fast forward to the main event. The main event being DX wanting Shawns belt back. Out comes Austin who chases off DX. New Age outlaws come out. Its 5 on 1 again as they surround the ring. Chyna gets the belt back. Cactus and And chainsaw come up from under the ring and Owen also comes out.

All that to hype the big match and the upcoming PPV that im not gonna watch.

So when raw focuses on Austin, DX, NAO, Cactus, Funk and Owen and to a lesser extent Rock and Shamrock, like last week it is good. This week they focused on everyone else and Austin cant keep the whole show good on his own. Pretty bad episode.

Hogan and Bischoff start the show. Never a good sign. Hogan talks about a pecking order in the NWO. Savage interrupts and says he is number 1 and he doesnt care who is number 2. They make a match for later tonight.

Glacier v. Steve McMichael. Yuck.

Louie spiccoli on commentator with Tony and Tenay. He fakes being worried about Larrys whereabouts.

Norman Smiley v. Konnan. maaaan not good first hour so far :/

Nick Patrick is out and is sick of JJ Dillon trying to soil his name as a ref!

Yuji Nagata v. Disco Inferno. Still not all great.

Glad that first hour is over. I hope it picks up.

Chavo Guerrero and Dean Malenko v. Chris Jericho v. Eddie Guerrero. Eddie gets some chants. Them being in El Paso. Jericho still has his cruserweight belt on during the match and has to take it off when he gets tagged in. lolol. Jericho and Eddie make a great heel tag team. Jericho and Eddie continue to do great tag work as they try and wear down Malenko. They do this the great old school heel way. Until Malenko is finally able to make the hot tag to Chavo. Man that was great old school tag wraslin. And Jericho is already the most entertaining part of Nitros. Bar none.

Juventud Guerrera v. El Dandy. El Dandy is a chubby little crusierweight. Good little match. Looks like the 2nd hour is the hot hour this week. Jericho comes out after and attacks Juvi but it backfires. Jericho grabs a mic. He says he came out to congratulate Juvi on a great performance and this is how he gets treated! "whats your problem amigo?" lolol. Juvi says somethin in spanish. Jericho translates what Juvi said. Jericho says Juvi is a one hit wonder. The same as Dexys Midnight runners! lmao Jericho continues his comedy hour and Juvi challenges him to a mask vs Belt match. Jericho accepts for Superbrawl! Man I wish Jericho was on every hour of thse long 3.

Steven Regal v. Goldberg. Fansa re chantin for goldberg! Regal tries and mat wrestle goldberg. Regal is not letting this go as planned and keeps messin with goldberg (in real life). Making Goldberg actually have to wrestle. Until finally goldberg is able to get his shit in.

Spiccoli vs Chris Adams. Larry Zybysko chases after Spiccoli!

Saturn v. Psychosis. decent enough.

Raven vs. Booker Tfor WCW TV Title. Raven talks before the match about how the flock took out Benoit on thunder. He also says Bookers belt belongs to the Flock. Match doesnt even start because Raven has the flock attack Booker. Booker fights back however. Until Raven kicks him in the head. Flock then beats Booker down.

Hollywood Hogan v. Randy Savage. I hope this isnt the main event. Theres a half hour left . :/ Macho man actually does hit a flying elbow eventually and is about to win but NWO ruins it. Hall included. NWO working well together again as they beat on Macho.

Luger wants Macho and Macho does come out and attack despite the beat down from before. Out comes Sting. And now Sting beats on macho man. A net then drops on sting, luger and macho man so the NWO can just come and beat on them.

Outsiders vs Steiners for WCW Tag Titles. This is the main event. Hall does his survey before the match. It may just be NWO country. Steiners still having their problems. Rick starts the match but later the outsiders beat on Scott. Hall shoves scott into rick and the ref calls it a tag. Rick bulldogs Hall and steiners win the tag titles! Scott is pissy at first but then hugs his brother and they celebrate their title win.

Another pretty good show. WCW is annoying me with their lack of Hart, Flair and DDP tho. But I must admit even with out them it was a solid episode.

Starts with a creepy Taz promo. He thanks Bam Bam for waking him up that he was getting too soft. Good promo.

They recap the triple threat reuniting.

Sabu and RVD vs Ballas Mahoney and Axl Rotten. Match is what you would expect from the 4.

Al Snow vs Doug furnas. Al Snow is able to pull off the win via head..

Sandman, Dreamer and Dudleys are out. Sandman says ECW is like a family. He brings up Tommys grandfather who passed recently. And dreamer seems to break down. Dreamer??s grandfather gave him the money to attend wrestling school. They do a moment of silence for him. and a ten bell salute. Out comes Justin Credible. He says he wishes it was Dreamer who died instead of his stupid grandfather! Dreamer attacks instantly! Brawl ensues. Dudleys and Sandman try and break it up.

Another pretty good ECW episode. I think WCW won the week tho imo.

Raw wasnt on this night and had a Saturday show so, Nitro killed in the ratings.

In Memory of Louie Spicolli, 1971-1998

Hogan and some members of the NWO start the show. Hogan says the biggest dummy to ever step into the ring is Macho Man. Hogan and Savage then share words. Blah blah blah.

Goldberg beats down Hugh Morus.

Outsiders taker over the announce table. They want rematch with the Steiners. Outsiders get a match with Public Enemy instead. Public enemy gets beat down. Nash gets arrested for using the powerbomb..

Kidman vs. Ultimo Dragon pretty decent cruiserweight match.

DDP interview talkin about Benoit. Raven stands up in the crowd. DDP wants to fight him right now.Impromptu match but Saturn gets in the ring. So Benoit runs out as well.

Meng v. Barbarian. ehhhhh

Disco inferno is comin out for a match but La Parka attacks him. Rick Martel takes Discos place.
Rick Martel vs Saturn. Ehhhh

Curt Hennig vs. Bobby Eaton. nothing special.

Scott Norton and Buff Bagwell vs. Steiners for WCW Tag Titles. Still just mehing along.

Rick Martel v. Booker T for WCW TV Title. Yes a 2nd match for Martel. Saturn interferes and Martel wins the title!

Bret Hart is out. He talks about Hogan and his excuses. Out comes Bryan Adams straight from the WWF. Hennig then comes out and helps Adamas attack Hart. Hennig and NWO beat on Hart to a dead crowd. Hogan then beats on him too. Out comes flair! Woo! He kicks some NWO ass. Flair and Bret shake hands, Finally something comes from their match weekssssss later.

JJ Dillon makes the TV title match at the PPV Martel vs Booker and then the winner takes on Saturn that same night,

Jericho time! Jericho and eddie vs Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit. diggin this jericho and eddie tag team. lmao. And Jericho continues to try and wrestle with his title on lolol. Good stuff. By far the best part of the night. 4 of the best technical wrestlers in the game at the time.

Main event. Hollywood Hogan and Macho Man vs Lex Luger and Sting. Im so sick of Hogan already and its only 1998. Match end sin chaos. Including Hennig, Flair and Hart out. WCW wrestlers are left standing.

I didnt really enjoy the show.

Mannnn i fucked up my review 😡
Guess ill just rate the matches then

Booker vs Martel 2.5/5
Booker vs Saturn 2.5/5
La Parka vs Disco 1.5/5
Jericho vs Juventude 3.5/5
Bulldog vs Steve mcmichael 0/5
DDP vs Benoit 3/5
Savage vs Luger 1/5
Outsiders vs Steiners 1/5
Hogan vs Sting 0/5

Show starts off good with a half hour of Booker T. Too bad they prolly wont grow his popularity more. Jericho and Juvi was great as usual. Juvi had to take off his mask :O. bulldog and mcmichael stunk it up. DDP and Benoit had quite the battle. The last 3 matches as usuall pulled the show down. Scott finallyyy turned on rick and joined the NWO. Hogan ruined the main event as usual

The show had 4 good amtches tho to combat the 4 bad ones so show is somewhere in the middle.

Live from sacremento CA.

Starts with WCW wrestlers pissy about scott Steiner joining the NWO.

Luger wants a piece of Scott Steiner, but gets Hennig instead. Lex Luger vs Curt Hennig. Scott does end up interfering with his newly blond hair nd attacking Luger. Scott and Buff then beat on Luger. Rick Steiner comes out and is gonna go after his brother but Bryan Adams and the rest of the NWO attack. Out comes the world champ, Sting and he scares off the NWO!

DDP vs Van Hammer. DDP gets the win and then gets atacked by Raven until Benoit comes out and scares em.

Hogan and Bischoff come out for their bitchin and moanin.

Kaz Hayashi v. Ultimo Dragon. Good lil match.

Raven vs Benoit. Benoit stalks Raven as he is coming out for the match. Brawl ensues. DDP ends up out nd the 3 end up battling. May be the best part of the night.

Jericho time! He comes out wearing Juvis mask lmao. Jericho then says he cant cover up his face since 4 million Jericholics watch him every week and he wants the title changed from WCW Monday Nitro to WCW Monday Jericho! He then wrestles Lenny Lane.

Rick Steiner beats down Vincent in a match.

Yuji Nagata v. Saturn. ehhhhhhhhhh second hour is slowin the show down.

Second hour continues to teeter away with nothing note worthy.

3rd hour finally starts. Eddie Guerrero vs. Disco Inferno. Pretty decent.

Ric Flair makes quick work of Brad Armstrong.

We finally see the Giant. In a neck brace. He still wants a piece of Kevin Nash.

Out is Bryan Adams about the NWO being the elite. Out comes Hart for a confrontation. They start brawling. Bret eventually gets him in a sharpshooter. Hennig then attacks Hart! Flair comes out to help Hart and brings it to Adams and Hennig. Flair talks on and puts down NWO members and then shakes Harts hand. Flair says Bret has his help if he needs it. I hope this is leading to Hart vs Hennig they had a classic once upon a time. Hart vs Adams sounds retarded. Hart then does challenge Hennig to a match. Good.

Theres two stings and one attacks the real sting. Its scott hall. Hall spray paints NWO on Sting. Macho man is out and attacks NWO! NWO beats down macho and Sting. Someone new is in the ring. By god its a bearded up Brutus the Barber beefcake. Oh lord. Lex Luger comes out with a chair to scare the NWO off.

The entire ECW roster is out. Heyman buries WCW for claiming when ur with them it is for life. ECW says when they work for ECW they really are a part of the family. They pay their respects to Louie Spicolli.

Triple Threat talk some shit. They talk about the upcoming PPV. Francine and Sunny get into a catfight!!

Taz vs Brakkus. Taz makes quick work of the WWF reject.

Main event. Lance storm vs Chris Candido. Quite the good match!

Tyson will have an appearance on Raw this night so lets see how Nitro goes against that. Raw got a big bump in the ratings and pulled the gap to one million viewers behind. Nitros main event will be Sting and Macho man vs Hogan and Hall to go head to head with Tyson on the other channel.

Liveeee from Philly. ECW country.

NWO arrive in a limo.

Scotty Riggs vs. Chris Benoit.Benoit makes quick work of Riggs.

Bischoff and Hogan come out to do their talking. They talk shit about Macho man.

Chavo vs a maskless Juvi. Good cruiserweight match.

Raven beats down Disco in a quick match.

In the second hour Macho man is out and calls Hogan Pathetic. He says he has been carrying Hogan for years. Out comes Sting! Sting takes a survey and says survey says Hall is a dead man. Sting and Macho seem like they will be able to see eye to eye to tag up tonight.

Goldberg destroys Sick Boy in their match. This Goldberg chap is gettin over.

Hart talks about Hennig. He also has his Nitro in ring debut tonight.
Bulldog vs Scott Norton. Blah

Second hour is as blah as the first.

Flair time! He talks shit to Hnenig and the NWO. Henning then comes out. The two brawl! Rude helps Hennig but Bret makes the save. Finally the show comes alive a bit.

Scott Steiner defeats Hacksaw with a steiner recliner.

Jericho time! Hes teaming up with Eddie. Jericho has Juvis mask around his neck.
Jericho and Eddie vs Malenko and Booker T. Another good match with these people. The one thing that has Nitro above the rest is they do put on good matches.

Rick Steiner Joins Scott and Nash and the NWO...no he attacks Nash and the rest but the scott and the NWO beat him down. Giant makes the save! He power bombs Nash!!

Hart vs Bryan Adams. Hennig ruins the match. It was goin nowhere anywhere.

Main event. Sting and Macho man vs Hogan and Hall. After NWO tries to beat on Macho. Sting has to try and fight them all off. Giant comes out again.

Only the 3rd hour is worth watching

Raw had bigger ratings this week. Nitro and Raw combined for almost over 9 million viewers watchin wraslin :O

They start with a preview that Austin, HBK and Tyson are all in the house tonight.

Liveeee in Cleveland Ohio

Out is DX to talk about Wrestlemania. Shawn then says when Tyson comes they will make him an offer he cannot refuse. He then says Austin isnt tough enough to beat him. Austin comes out to confront him. Lights go out! DX leaves. Out comes Kane! I guess its Kane vs austin tonight.

New age outlaws try and fake an injury thanks to funk and foley but slaughter makes them compete anyway.

Luna, Goldust, Sable and Mero shit continue. Mero loses his match and Sable and him argue as usual. Sable pushes him down to the ground!

Owen Hart and Mark Henry battle.

Someother subpar matches.

Vince introduces Mike Tyson to start the second hour. Before Vince can ask Tyson questions, out comes DX. They come down with a purpose. Shawn wants to fight him. Tyson says he is down. Officials get out of the ring. Theyre gonna go at it! Shawn acts like he is gonna punch him but pulls of Tysons shirt to reveal a DX shirt underneath! He is the newest DX member.

Steve Blackman takes on Kama. blah blah blah.

Jeff Jarrett says some shit.

Michael Cole tries to ask Mike why he joined DX. Hunter says because he is a winner like DX.

The destruction of LOD continues

Main event time. However when Austin comes out to face Kane shawn comes out and superkicks him! DX is running wild tonight. Kane grabs the ring bell guy and throws him in the ring. Kane wants him to toll the bell 10 times for the fallen Undertaker. He chokeslams and tombstones the guy after. Paul Bearer says Kane has one tombstone left. He wants someone to step up. Cue undertakers music and the lights going out!

Undertaker is back. He goes on and on about himself. He says at wrestlemania nobody can save Kane! He will rest in peace.

Ummmm show could have been better for what it was suppose to be. I do think it was more entertaining than Nitro tho.

Raw was on Tuesday this week so Nitro had the night to itself to get some huge ratings.

Its Spring Break out 1998!

Out comes the NWO. Hogan gives his blah blah blah. Hogan and Savage vs Sting and Luger has been signed for tonight. Hogan wants Savage to prove himself.

Goldberg destroys Lodi in a match.

Fit Finley vs Ultimo Dragon.God sometimes this announce team needs to be muted.

The rest of the first hour is a throw away.

Bischoff comes out with Savage and Elizabeth. Theyre still tryin to persuade Macho man to get back in line with the NWO. Savage says he is going to win the title against Sting.

Benoit vs Raven. They fight near the spring break out pool at ring side! Pretty good stuff.

Scott gets thrown into the pool during his match. Scott Steiner beats down Big bubba.

3rd hour starts! With raw not being on that night it would get over 6 and a half million viewers which was the highest rated hour in the monday night wars up to that point.

Eddie makes Chavo wear an "My favorite wrestler is Eddy Guerrero" t shirt for his match with Booker T. lmao Chavo just talked about this shirt on the Chris Jericho podcast this week. The two put on a pretty great match

DDP takes on one of the flock rejects.

Jericho time! No wonder this was the highest rated hour to that point..
He has on some trendy ass sunglasses.. He welcomes us to Monday Night Jericho. He has accumulated a lot of trophies over the past little while, Rey Mysterios knee, Juvis mask, the cruiserweight belt, and now Dean Malenkos dignity since after last night dean took his ball and went home. lmao. He also says he is going to take dean malenkos finishin move the texas cloverleaf and make it the canadian maple leaf! Ah usual good shit.

Jericho then takes on Juvi. Jericho wins and after tries to put the cloverleaf on Juvi.

Nash and Hall are out. Id say NWO wins Hallas survey. Nash talks shit about the Giant and Nash keeps duckin matches with him. Giant comes out and Nash and hall run from him and Nash cannonballs into the pool to get away lolol. Hall doesnt get away tho and gets thrown into the pool by the Giant!

Main event time. Sting and Luger vs Hogan and Savage. Sting comes down from a fuckin helicopter lolol stoopid. Match was worthless like most wcw main event.

Was an entertaining show though. Very humorous.

I admit I jumped ahead, way ahead on the WCW side of things and watched almost all of 98 and 99 in one weekend last week. I just couldn't wait for the NWO Hollywood and Wolfpac split.


The helicopter episode of Nitro was hilarious with Bischoff pretending he's being blown away.



woah! slow down there pilgrim! hahaha

I do want to skip ahead at time because it becomes hard and tedious to continue but I doubt I will skip. Taurus mars so slow and steady wins the race :/

The show before mania14.
Show got over 3 1/2 million viewers.
They recap how McMahon does not want stone cold to be champ.

Liveeee from Tuscon Arizona.

Stone Cold time! Vince and the WWF can throw as much crap at him but he is going to kick Shawn's ass! Austin is ready to kick all of DX ass tonight including Mike Tyson if need be. Slaughter comes out. Slaughter has a message for Austin from Vince. He must take on Rock tonight. Austin keeps talkin and Slaughter says that if he does not wrestle Rocky tonight, then it will be a non-title match at WM. Austin was gonna do what Vince wanted but Slaughter had to come out and insult him..WHAM Stunner to Slaughter!

Cactus Jack and Chainsaw charlie take on Quebecers. New Age outlaws come down to distract and then ambush Cactus and chainsaw.

Paul and Kane come out. Paul talks jibberish. Kane uses his power to fuck with the announce table or some shit. Kane then has lightning strike a dude and light him on fire. o.O. Alrighty then.

DoA vs New Midnight Express. This ends in a WWF tag team clusterfuck.

Tyson and DX arrive and soon after, make their way to the ring. Trips tells Owen that he better miss Mania with his injury or he will have owen packing for good. Shawn talks shit to Austin and Vince and says they dont need these two having a cat fight at mania. Shawn says he is the best champion ever and will keep the title. Tyson says shawn will keep the title and tyson will still be the baddest man on the planet come the end of Mania.

Chainz vs Farooq. This undercard doe :/. Rock ends up whackin Farrooq with a chair on "accident"

Barry Windham vs Bradshaw. More end of match shenanigans.

Mero and Sable stuff. Vince Russo is there.. He gives a award to Sable for her and sunnys Raw magazine cover breaking records. Luna attacks her however!

Main event time. Stone Cold vs Rock. Decent main event between these two.

All in all, the undercard still sucks, buuuut was a good go home show to wrestlemania.

Liveeee in Louisville Kentucky.
Show starts with Roddy Piper!

Piper says no more bats in WCW and gets booed. He says until there is a bat match at the next PPV. Between Nash and Giant I think. Also tonight he says hes gonna fight Savage!

Ultimo Dragon vs Chavo. Too short, but sweet. Eddie talks shit to chavo after.

Out come Bischoff and Hogan to talk. idk what hogan said really. I zoned out.

Scott steiner destroys someone in a match.

Super lackluster first hour as a whole.

DDP v. Sting for WCW Title. Kickin the second hour off hot tho! Crowd is loving the match! Two wcw fan faves going at it. Starts a little slow tho. It does pick up towards the end though. Nice little battle.

Eddie Guerrero vs Kaz Hayashi. Eddie does win and proves a point to chavo..
Dragon come to the ring and bumps into Eddie, Chavo is slapped and told to open the ropes by eddie.

Prince Iaukea beats Konnan in a n upset

Jericho time! Welcome to monday night jericho! He then says Go standford! Referring to Kentuckys upcoming college basketball game. He then takes on Lenny Lane. Jericho gets a rather quick win.

Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash vs the Giant. They be trying to pull all the stops against Raw. The Giant at least looks strong for once.

Booker T vs Benoit for TV title. Great fuckin match that ends in a time limit draw. Hopefully a rematch ensues.

Curt Hennig takes on British Bulldog. Not a good match. Rude and Hennig beat on Bulldog. Bret Hart makes the save to a pretty huge pop! Bryan adams and virgil come out so Bret kicks their asses too.

Goldberg beats down Renegade.

Main event time. Piper vs Savage. Hogan and Nash end up getting involed at one point and those two end up arguing. Its then the usual wcw main event clusterfuck after that.

Really good Nitro but anti climatic ending. A trend, really.

Sweet little opening package.

Liveeeeee from Boston

1. 15 Tag team battle royal
Includes the new (and improved?) LOD 2000! :O. Sunny is managing them. Hugeee LOD chants to start. Winner gets a tag title shot at the next PPV. The final two teams are LOD and midnight express. Godwins try and cost LOD the match. However LOD pulls through. Nice little return but the match itself sucked. 1/5

2. WWF Lightheavyweight Title: Taka Michinoku vs Aguila
Fast paced match and also just fast match in general. WCW still was doing it better. 2/5

3. WWF European Championship: Triple H (w/Chyna) vs Owen Hart.
The live band plays the DX theme and sucks, basically. Slaughter handcuffs Chyna to him so she cannot interfere. Howeever towards the end Chyna still manages to. The two put on a good match despite the end. 2.5/5

4. Luna and Goldust vs Mero and Sable
Match was better than I was expecting. Sable kicks some ass. 2/5

5. Intercontinental title: The Rock vs Ken Shamrock
Waaaaaay too short. :/ 2/5

6. Dumpster match, WWF tag titles: The New Age Outlaws v. Cactus Jack & Terry Funk
The match rules themselves are pretty stoopid but I actually quite enjoyed it. 2.5/5

7. Kane vs Undertaker
All the hype to this over the months. It best pay off. Kane tombstones Pete Rose before the match.Geez all the pre match stuff takes 15 minutes.
The match itself is okay. Good for this times WWF standards. 2.5/5

8. WWF title match: Shawn Michaels vs Steve Austin
Here we gooooo. Tyson out first. Then Austin. They do get in each others faces. The ref kicks out chyna and triple h from ring side early on! Match itself has a nice slow build. I dig it. Fans chant "Holyfield!" mid way through. lmao. Match continues to build up with back and forth to get towards the end. Shawn sets up for sweet chin music. Austin ducks and goes for a stunner! No shawn reverses and goes for sweet chin music again! Austin blocks! Kick! Stunner! Tyson makes the (fast) count! 1...2...3! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! JR and the fans go nuts. "The Austin era has begun" says JR nd how right he is. Good match with that classic double reversal end. 4/5

After the match, Tyson has an Austin 3:16 shirt and Shawn gets in Tysons face and Tyson punches shawn out going against the entire storyline leading up to this.

So really most matches were in the middle between good and bad. So i guess it should be around a C. The mid card is not C worthy tho. Or see worthy. Badoom tsh. Ill be genrous however and go with a C-

Liveeeee from Chicago

Show starts with a match with some guys nobody gives a fuck about. Including myself. Woot giant comes and chokeslams them!

Piper is out with Giant to talk about the upcoming bat match.

Saturn vs Fit Finley. Saturn makes quick work of it.

NWO time. They come out and Hogan talks his boring promos. Nash wasnt out there and after Hogan mentions him he comes on out. Hogan says him nor any of the nwo brothers will be nashs partnet tonight. Nash gets in his face. Nash says someone may be wanting to stick a knife in hogans back..Nash also says he has him a partner already.

Jericho time! He has himself a cup of water and some papers. He dedicates this match to dean malenko! He says he shamed his father because he wasnt a quitter like Dean. He then takes on Marty Jannetty. Super quick win for Jericho. After the match he says Malenko calls himself the man of a thousand holds. Well Jericho knows 1,004 holds! lmao and thus starts one of my all time favorite Jericho moments as Jericho starts to read the list of all he knows. Hold 1 arm drag. Hold 2 arm bar! hold 3 the moss covered 3 handled family gredunzal. Number 4 arm bar! lmao he goes on and on and gets cut off by commercial break.

We come back from commercial and Jericho is still reading! Hes on hold 712. hahahaha. The next match starts and Prince Iaukea throws him out of the ring before his match with Glacier.

Kaz Hayashi vs Chavo Guerrero. chavo gets the win and maybe impresses eddie

Raven vs Buff Bagwell. ddp chases raven durin the match.
DDP then talks his spiel about Raven.

Disco and Kidman end up having a pretty good match.

Rick rude joins the announce team as hennig takes on jim neidhart. Adams, Hennig and Rude beat on Jim and Bulldog until Hart makes the save.

Chris Benoit vs Booker T for WCW TV Title rematchhh. Another great match! Another draw tho. But that means more rematches!

Goldberg beats down ray traylor in his quick match style .

Kevin Nashs partner is...savage! They take on Luger and sting. Hogan helps team nwo win..

Hogan vs Piper main event. Ends the same ways all wcw main events. Hogan is about to punch Piper but misses and hits nash!

Good entertaining episode. Lets see if raw can beat it.
