Sid Powerbombs Parka onto a bag of popcorn. Seems like a random attack.

[1999-08-16-WCW-Nitro] Berlyn vignette
So this was kinda like the Hade Vansen gimmick except German? Didn't this gimmick get pushed back cause of the happened to columbine? Might have been better if it was anyone but Alex Wright.

[1999-08-15-NJPW-G1 Climax] Keiji Muto vs Manabu Nakanishi
Crowd seemed hot for the finish. It's kinda amazing the kurosawa run didn't kill Nakanishi's career. It was also surprising to see Muto lose cleanly.

Women in the WWE
Grimmas, have you seen Charlotte vs divas like Summer Rae, Alexa Bliss and some of the main roster divas? The Summer Rae match in particular was one of the worst matches I saw all last year. Charlotte is good when in the ring with world class workers like Sasha and Becky. I don't think she's ready for the main roster yet and her promo work is bad. And did they announce that Sasha/Charlotte was going to be the main event of the house show before the NXT house show started? I don't see how that can count as them being able to draw that crowd. With that being said, I think the divas could at least main event tv some day. It would take the main announcers and Vince taking it seriously and not making jokes during matches.

[1999-08-14-WCW-Road Wild] Sting vs Sid
Sid no selling a superplex like Davey Richards. The finish was shocking for sure but it just proves the WCW was clueless. And I'm a big Sid fan.

[1999-08-14-WCW-Road Wild] Harlem Heat vs Kanyon & Bam Bam Bigelow
The crowd looks a lot smaller and less biker guys than say 1996 version. Bam Bam did a lot of work in this. Especially for the finish when he had to casually walk back so Stevie would move.

[1999-08-14-ECW-TV] Taz promo
Good heel promo from Taz. I do want to see him destroy Corino though so I guess he did his job right.

[1999-08-14-OVW-TV] Chris Candido and Sunny promo
Candido is facing Nick Dinsmore if I understood him correctly. Man he looked different with hair.Tammy shows up and looks like hell. This made me sad.

[1999-08-14-MPPW-TV] Wolfie D phone interview / Arena highlights
I remember back in 92 when Austin Idol did the water for oil gimmick and said that Richard Lee did it to his plane to murder him. This is a step down from that. Wolfie takes a big bump off the top of the cage. He's already done more in Power pro than he did in KAW. Cage match looked good.

[1999-08-14-MPPW-TV] Kurt Angle vs Steve Bradley
I guess JR smooth is gone and Angle will soon be gone. Bradley had potential and I like Cornette as his manager.

[1999-08-11-NJPW-G1 Climax] Shinya Hashimoto vs Masa Chono
I liked this more than the Muto match but not as much as the other Hash match. This had a lot of hate which surprised me. I thought Muto/Hash/Chono were all friends but I guess they feuded too? Anyways, the STF by Chono where he didn't let go was a nice touch. Thought for sure he would get dq'd. Finish was surprising but heated as was the post match. Good stuff.

[1999-08-11-NJPW-G1 Climax] Keiji Muto vs Yuji Nagata
I'm with tim on this. The work was fine I guess but most of the match was just listless matwork. Especially from Muto. Nagata had some nice submissions but they were all for nothing based on that finish. Nagata should have won.

[1999-08-09-WWF-Raw] The Rock and Chris Jericho
To me, this is the greatest Raw moment ever. That pop Jericho got when he made his entrance will never be topped. Everything about this was great. Too bad they fucked it up.
