[1999-12-09-WCW-Thunder] The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Iaukea and Vampiro
Best thing about the Artist besides Paisley is his Purple Rain rip off theme. Juvi was on a roll with his burials. Especially Vampiro. God bless Da Juice.

[1999-12-09-WCW-Thunder] Scott Hall and Kevin Nash promo / Juventud Guerrera: Color Commentator
You know the main guys stopped caring when Madusa comes out and Sid and Dustin just walk right in front of her heading to the back. Benoit just looks out of place with all these big guys. Of course Jarrett has to be the one that has all the glory. I love the Juice so much. He's still doing this gimmick 16 years later. Love Tenay's reaction to it.

WWE Talk October 12 to October 18
Based on the reaction he gets when they show the Reigns workout commercial at full sail, probably cheers or indifference.

What are you watching?
I've been watching a couple things that are totally different from each other. First, I've been watching 1987 NWA based on the Exile podcast on the time. So many squash matches. Even using the same jobbers in multiple matches. I'm up to Crockett Cup 1987 and it's a decent build. Oles babyface turn, Dick Murdoch hurting Nikita's neck with a brainbuster to the concrete and the new Midnight Express. Cornette's explanation on Dennis Condrey leaving was nice. Still, I can't imagine people watching this of WWF at the time with Hogan/Andre and Steamboat/Savage. That's probably my WWE bias and watching it in 2015. I've also continued watching Memphis 1999 between Power Pro and KAW. Some of it is on the yearbook but the full shows are interesting. It's weird seeing a Memphis show at the WMC studio without a Lawler being present full time. Cornette brought some fresh air in his feud with Randy Hales and I like the Angle/Bradley feud. I'm up to August so Doug Gilbert hasn't gone crazy yet. KAW is so awful I love it. Storyline's based on a stolen weed bag, Brickhouse Brown trying to pimp out his opponents girlfriend and Bill Dundee in Zubaz beating people up while wearing a DX shirt. All this taking place in a seedy Strip club in the outskirts of Memphis.

[1999-12-08-AJW] Manami Toyota vs Kyoko Inoue
Best thing I can say about this is at least it wasn't 60 minutes. Not bad but a lot of "your move, my move" stuff that Joshi is known for. The worst part is Toyota doing a balcony dive and that isn't even the finish. And like OJ said, it was short and not very hard to watch but not my thing at all.

[1999-12-06-WWF-Raw] Big Bossman and Big Show's Mother
This was after the Casket surfing. I can't believe this feud is still going on after Show main evented Survivor series. That woman was awful.

[1999-12-06-WWF-Raw] HHH and Stephanie McMahon
Now this is this is the HHH I know and don't mind. He's getting ready for those 20 minute promos he cuts every week on raw here. So much bleeping going on. Sometimes they censors couldn't catch the words. They couldn't have made it any more obvious that Steph was turning if they tried.

[1999-12-06-WCW-Nitro] Jushin Liger vs Psicosis
So why wasn't Juvi in this? Was he injured or something? Anyways this wasn't awful but a sad use of Liger. I'm glad this wasn't his final mainstream US wrestling appearance. Had to laugh when Liger wins and then Parka comes out with a chair and Liger just leaves.

Ring of Honor Wrestling
I watched this weeks ROH tv on DA. It was the Field of Honor show with Strong/Okada and the Briscoes/Time Splitters. I Liked both matches and the atmosphere. It was just sad seeing all the empty seats. I realize they were running opposite NXT Brooklyn. The volume of the commentary continues to be crap on these shows. How is Bobby Cruise louder than Kelly and Corino?

[1999-12-05-BattlARTS] Katsumi Usuda & Carl Malenko vs Yuki Ishikawa & Masaaki Mochizuki
This match makes me want to see more Carl Malenko. He looks like the Messiah of XPW fame. Everytime he was in he was doing something exciting. He'd really fit in with the Timothy Thacther/Drew Gulak/Biff Busick group of modern mat workers. Rest of the guys were ok. I'm surprised Mochizuki went from this to Dragon Gate.

[1999-12-04-KAW-TV] Music Video: Bill Dundee vs Terry Golden
Nice to see KAW has left the strip club for what looks like a wedding tent. I've been watching the weekly KAW tv from around this time and I love this feud just for Bill Dundee's outfits. Terry Golden still sucks but the song fits.

[1999-12-02-WWF-Smackdown] The Rock vs Al Snow
Mankind is actually in the back but comes to ringside to save Rock. This has to be Al Snow's biggest match right? I can't remember him having another main event after this feud with Rock.

[1999-12-02-WWF-Smackdown] Chris Jericho and Mankind
Good to see Jericho mix it up with some of the big dogs. I'm surprised Mankind announced his book was number 1 on smackdown and not Raw. I guess this was still the time when both shows were equal and Smackdown wasn't the B show.

[1999-12-02-WWF-Smackdown] DX wedding gifts
This went on way too long. I can't get over Billy Gunn's Mr. Ass shirt. HHH comes out in a Vince Mcmahon mask. Plays a better Vince than Nash did.
