[1999-01-05-FMW-New Year Generation] Mr Gannosuke vs Hisakatsu Oya
I tried watching this twice and was just bored by most of it till the finishing run. That submission finish was real good. Rest of the match was just dry until the blood started flowing.

[1999-01-05-FMW-New Year Generation] Hayabusa vs Tetsuhiro Kuroda
This was good but I'm still not that into Hayabusa. Liked when they went into the crowd and Hayabusa did the ddt I think down the stairs. I'm gonna watch it again to see if it's better on second viewing.

[1999-01-04-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels attacked
Some good overacting by Shawn here. So it was Bossman, Test, Shamrock and sounded like Vince that attacked Shawn.

[1999-01-04-WWF-Raw] Mankind and Vince McMahon
Even though WWF was hot at the time, they still had to pipe in noise to an annoying degree. I love the Mr. Mcmahon character and he was really good here.

[1999-01-04-WCW-Nitro] Fingerpoke of Doom
Nash's entrance cost more than probably all the Luchadors salaries combined. That was JBL esque. The rest of this is just infuriating. I watched WCW till the end but this was the moment where I knew WCW couldn't return to what they were. Bischoff doing sound effects when they were spraypainting Goldberg was so bad.

[1999-01-04-WCW-Nitro] Interview: Hulk Hogan
This was WCW at it's most egotistical. I remember Hogan running for president. Then they announce Foley's winning the title. Such a stupid move by WCW.

[1999-01-04-WCW-Nitro] LWO vignette
El Dandy continues to get no respect as Eddy keeps shooing him away from the ladies. Not bad and I love the LWO theme.

[1999-01-04-WCW-Nitro] Goldberg arrested
This feels like something that should be on Melrose Place or some Soap Opera. Just awful between the cop that keeps looking in the camera, the cop that is Goldberg's Friend and should be kicked off the case and Goldberg himself. I got a laugh out of Goldberg saying "You know what I do for the Kids Jack" The cops should have hit him with nightsticks.

[1999-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World in Tokyo Dome] Keiji Muto vs Scott Norton
Love the way Norton takes the dragon screw. Muto looking like 2014 Sting here. Was this NWO vs NWO?

[1999-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World in Tokyo Dome] Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima vs Genichiro Tenryu & Shiro Koshinaka
Good match but would have been better in front of a better crowd. These Dome crowds are just awful. Tenyru just lights up poor Tenzan with chops and punches. Kojima/Tenzan looks pretty much the same here as they do now. Always like Koshinaka and his ass based offense. Wild to see NWO Japan still be a thing.

[1999-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World in Tokyo Dome] Shinya Hashimoto vs Naoya Ogawa
So what was the finish? A dq for hitting the ref? Awful stuff even with all the guys getting in the ring to break it up. Who was the big bald white guy on team Ogawa?

[1999-01-04-NJPW-Wrestling World in Tokyo Dome] Shinjiro Otani & Tatsuhito Takaiwa vs Dr. Wagner Jr & Kendo Ka Shin
I don't know what Loss means that the match didn't have any heat. This was the loudest I've seen the Tokyo Dome treat Juniors wrestling in the Yearbooks I've gotten. They seemed to be into Ka shin. Weird seeing Wagner in this role as the workhorse. Reminds me of Hogan when he went to Japan. Poor Takaiwa had to hold up Kashin forever in that powerbomb before Ohtani did the dropkick. Not bad.

[1999-01-02-MPPW-TV] Jerry Lawler vs Brian Christopher
This was pretty bad. Even though both guys were Memphis staples, this was a sorta fresh match. Brian was the heel but Lawler had Stacy helps him. It's kinda sad how much of a afterthought Lawler felt in Memphis during this time. Especially compared to Randy Hales, Streak and Brandon Baxter. That fireball was the worst I"ve ever seen.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
I'm surprised they don't treat NIebla like they do Mr. Aguila and send him to Guadalajara to team with the young guys every week. That match where he couldn't even stand was embarrassing even for drunk CMLL matches.

Your ideas for heels that would get over today
A foreigner like Rusev. Especially a Muslim. Good Helmet has the right idea. I remember when they brought in Kevin Federline and he was really hated..

When did WWE commentary go to hell?
My favorite WWE announcers right now are Renee Young and Jason Albert. I know Renee annoys a lot of people but the reason I like her is cause she actually seems to like what she's calling. She's really good with Tom Phillips on Superstars. Albert is decent when he's not fighting with Alex Riley or saying "wOW" all the time. He's another one that seems to enjoy what they are calling. That's my biggest problem with the main roster announcers. Cole/JBL/Lawler seem more into the shitty inside jokes they make or yelling talking points than telling a story. And to answer the question, I would say once Heyman left in 2002.

What are you watching?
Nazi Ron Wright was the best. I also loved heel Hector Guerrero teaming with Buddy in that promotion. It didn't last long but that was a fun promotion. Have you gotten to the Miss USA Championship Wrestling contest yet?
