[1999-05-15-KAW-TV] Interview: Danny B
Danny B is the light heavyweight champion and has been feuding with the other light heavyweights(Tommy Rogers, Izzy deadyet, Rocker and Jaime Dundee. Week after week, they kept attacking him and leaving him in a pool of blood. This time, they attack him outside with his girl watching on. Tommy Rogers is a Ricky Morton level heel.

[1999-05-10-WWF-Raw] Steve Austin & The Rock & Vince McMahon vs HHH & The Undertaker & Shane McMahon
HBK's shorts a insanely short Billy. Outstanding match to cap off one of my favorite nights to be a wrestling fan. I liked Austin pulling off Vince just to hit Shane with another stunner. HHH looks like he gained 50 pounds of muscle since Mania.

[1999-05-10-WWF-Raw] Sable vs Debra
I think I've said it before but this was my first ever live wrestling show in person. I was 14 at the time so I was a big fan of the match. I was a huge Debra fans and Sable never looked better. HBK's commentary sure wouldn't pass today that's for sure.

[1999-05-09-WCW-Slamboree] Goldberg vs Sting
That sorta spear from mid air by Goldberg was awesome looking. Then they had to ruin it by doing a Dq finish. Sick chairshot by Bret.

[1999-05-09-WCW-Slamboree] Ric Flair vs Roddy Piper
So much interference and BS. Everyone looks like an idiot. Especially Flair and Robinson. Charles tries his best not to look at Anderson interfering but then says screws it and look. Crowd goes nuts when Piper puts his hands on Asya. How could Bischoff fire Flair?

[1999-05-09-WCW-Slamboree] Rick Steiner vs Booker T
I'll never get why WCW pushed Rick so late into his run in WCW. Just so boring and not over.

[1999-05-09-WCW-Slamboree] Raven & Perry Saturn vs Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko vs Rey Misterio Jr & Billy Kidman
I always mark out when Arn hits the spinebuster. Got a big pop too. I thought they were gonna do the "pin/sub at same time, wacky champions" angle but they did not. Good Job WCW.

Is TNA the worst wrestling promotion in history?
I wouldn't say it was better than the Brock match but the match was really good. Even Anderson and shitty commentary couldn't ruin it. Spud is amazing. He's in that Sami Zayn catagory of sympathetic wrestlers. It also pains me to say but TNA has been better than WWE lately.

Current NXT Roster
Kalisto is already on the main roster if you count Main event as the main roster. I like the guy but his offense is so awkward and he's too fast for the heels on the main roster to base except for maybe Cesaro and Kidd. I think Itami could be ready for the main roster if they make him a heel. Him as a babyface is YoshiTatsu pt. 2. Enzo's my favorite guy on the NXT roster but he's probably a NXT lifer sadly. Vince and Dunn wouldn't get his gimmick at all. I guess you could say that about a lot of guys.

FCW / NXT Success Stories and Failures
Sheamus should count as a success story. Probably Barrett too. Swagger might be a untapped potential guy. Kaval is a failure. Heath Slater too. Drew Mcintyre could be in either untapped potential or failure. The Bellas have to be the most successful divas to come out of FCW/Developmental. AJ is a distant second followed by Paige and Nattie.

POLL: Enthusiasm for Mania
I'm somewhat enthused. I'm looking forward to the ladder match, Brock/Reigns and tag title match. However, the build has been putrid. I'm not Johnny Sorrow type enthused but the show should be entertaining for the crowd alone. I'm also not a huge Bryan fan so that might help some.

[1999-05-08-ECW-TV] Interview: Taz
This almost feels like WWF taz with the joking but then he becomes angry. With him choking out Jeff Jones, I'm wondering if they were setting up Taz/Sid? I guess not since he was in KAW at the time.

[1999-05-08-MPPW-TV] Michael Hayes vs J.R. Smooth
What a downer way to end the Hayes title reign. Jr Smooth was billed as Fatu the week before so he must have changed his name between then. It would be funny if he came to WWF as this character instead of Rikishi.

[1999-05-05-FMW] Mr Gannosuke & Hisakatsu Oya & Yukihiro Kanemura & Hideki Hosaka & Hido vs Yuki Ishikawa & Daisuke Ikeda & Mohammed Yone & Takashi Hijikata & Katsumi Usuda (Elimination)
I have no background to this feud so this match wasn't much for me. It's weird to see Team No Respect and no weapons shots or blood. The over the top ropes stuff did add some tension which was nice. Why is the one guy dressed like Big Bossman? Needed more Ikeda hitting FMW dudes with headbutts.

[1999-05-04-Osaka Pro] Super Delphin & Masaru Seno & Masato Yakushiji vs Violencia & Black Buffalo & Dick Togo
Loved this match. Dick Togo is such a joy to watch in these types of 6 man matches. He was the glue that held this together.It seems like his short WWF run taught him how to work even better than he was in Michinoku pro. This match had it all, brawling, comedy, high flying etc. I've always been a fan of Yakushiji. I liked his save after he slipped off the ropes and hit a spin kick. Is that the same Violencia that feuded and teamed with Pierroth back in 00? That's a random guy to have in a Osaka match.

[1999-05-04-ARSION-Hyper Visual Fighting Tournament] Mariko Yoshida vs Yumi Fukawa
I have no idea who Fukawa is but she impressed me here. She's like Yagi in always going for submissions when on offense. This is like watching a Virus match but with more yelling and submission moves. Good match.

[1999-05-03-WWF-Raw] Steve Austin vs The Rock (Lumberjack)
I'm sure they pissed off some people by doing that. Austin's bump looked like it had to hurt. He slid off the table and into the barrier. HHH and Taker look like the main heels here. Compare this to the Nitro clips earlier and it's like night and day.

[1999-05-03-WWF-Raw] The Undertaker and Big Show / Sable vs Debra (Evening Gown)
The sound of the bat breaking over Show's head is just sickening. That had to be a concussion. As for the Debra match, it's insane how big a pop she got. Most guys these days wish for a pop like that. Also it's no wonder Nicole Bass sued WWF shortly after this.

[1999-05-03-WWF-Raw] The McMahons / Shane McMahon vs Vince McMahon
Vince is so awesome in this.He stumbles on the ramp while walking out. Even hits the stunner to win. Shane was pretty good too.

[1999-05-03-WWF-Raw] Corporate Ministry and The Union
HHH is finally starting to sound like a main guy. That Taker interview is kinda eerie given what happened at the ppv. The Corporate Ministry rivals 1997 NWO in the amount of useless members but I still love that theme music.
