[1999-08-30-AAA] La Parkita & Octagoncito vs Mini Abismo Negro & Mini Psicosis
I didn't like this as much as Loss but It was good. No rudo ref or shenanigans during the match is a plus. Octagoncito is good but Parkita is no Mascarita Sagrada. The rudos have problems and after the match, Cibernetico and Psicosis have words with the minis. This brings out Abismo Negro and Electroshock and the seeds of the Vipers breakup are planted.

Super Astro
I liked his match vs Blue Panther from the early days of AAA. Super Astro will rank really high on my list. My favorite mini of all time easily.

[1999-08-28-ECW-TV] Dudley Boys vs Spike Dudley & Balls Mahoney
This was supposed to be the main event of the first TNN show but was too violent for the network. I hate this feud and these matches so much. If it wasn't for the god awful stuff WCW was doing, this would be the worst feud of the year if I was doing a year end awards. All these matches are the same. Babyfaces take control early, Dudleys take over. Babyfaces bleeds and they brawl into the crowd. Balls or Spike go through a burning table and they trade wins. This was the better of the matches on the set I guess but I hope never to see another Dudleys vs Balls/Spike match.

[1999-08-28-OVW-TV] Rob Conway vs Damaja
They brawl in what looks like a cafeteria. Buchanan with his rat pony tail brings in a toilet to hit Trash with, Not bad but yeah a Cornette staple.

What is the future of NXT?
Rusev lost to Ziggler back on NXT TV August 2013. If I remember, he just left NXT without any big writeoff. I'm guess Uhaa will debut on the 18th. They really need him with all the injuries.

[1999-08-28-NJPW-Jingu Climax] Great Muta vs Great Nita (No Rope Barbed Wire Land Mine Exploding Death)
I'm a big Onita mark but even I don't think I could watch this in full. Muta looked just embarrassed even being in this. He had no idea what to do when the timer went off. Nita of course was awesome. Loved his walk to the back after the match just being a mad man. Shocking lack of crowd heat for the explosions too.

[1999-08-28-NJPW-Jingu Climax] Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi vs Michiyoshi Ohara & Tatsutoshi Goto
Nakanishi with a lot of Ryback type offense. Nagata was pretty good but this didn't seem like a good match based on the clips. Ohara and Goto look like they came from Memphis Japan.

Lots of clips of RVD and Tajiri/Super Crazy.

[1999-08-26-WWF-Smackdown] The Rock vs HHH
Shawn with shorts that would make Nikki Bella blush. I'm guessing this heel turn was going to lead somewhere but Shawn's drug habit screwed that up. I remember being so pissed when this happened.

[1999-08-26-WWF-Smackdown] Stephanie McMahon and Test / Mankind vs Shane McMahon
Savage/Liz this was not. Match was pretty much smoke and mirrors with sick chairshots. Foley was pretty much done by this point and lots of run ins. HHH hits Mankind right in the knee which had to hurt.

[1999-08-25-FMW-Goodbye Hayabusa II] Hayabusa vs Mr Gannosuke
I liked this more than some of the other FMW matches on the set. Lots of nutty bumps and moves. Gannosuke took a crazy bump off the ring apron to the floor. Seemed like he forgot to kick out on the finish the first time so they had to do it again. Post match was great with my man Fuyuki destroying Hayabusa. I hope we are getting H soon.

[1999-08-23-WWF-Raw] HHH vs Mankind
Why is Rock burying the babyface champion when he's a babyface? Who does he think he is, Taz? HHH delivers two sick chairshots to the head and wins the title. They try to make it a big deal but it felt really anticlimatic. Still it tops the KISS concert on Nitro at the same time.

[1999-08-23-WWF-Raw] Howard Finkel, Road Dogg and Chris Jericho
Finkel coming out to the Warrior theme is now Patterson/Briscoe coming out to Real American. Finkel calling Road Dog a joke was rich.

XPW makes the yearbook. Big dick Dudley and Lizzy Borden are mentioned. I guess this aired in California?

[1999-08-23-WWF-Raw] Test and Stephanie McMahon
Stephanie seems to be more comfortable on the mic compared to how she was during the Taker angle. The Mcmahon children on WWE tv is like Bischoff and Hogan on WCW all the time.

[1999-08-23-WWF-Raw] HHH, Jim Ross and Mankind
HHH doing his best Shane Douglas impersonation. This is a WWF staple of big time heel attacking friend of babyface champion. Mankind looked like such a idiot here. Not a fan.
