[1997-07-22-WCW-Tuesday Nitro] Ric Flair and Syxx
Flair's shirt is awful. 101 dalmatians bad. This sets up the tag match later in show.

[1997-07-22-WCW-Tuesday Nitro] Interview: Hulk Hogan
Lex Luger is just another man in Hollywood's eyes. I'm debating which is more funny. Bret calling Shawn the Boy Toy or Hogan calling Luger Flexy Lex all the time.

[1997-07-22-RINGS] Kiyoshi Tamura vs Bitsadze Tariel
I'm not going best promotion but Tamura continues to deliver some solid matches in this format no matter the opponent.

[1997-07-21-WWF-Raw] Bret Hart & Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith vs Steve Austin & The Undertaker & Dude Love (Flag)
Undertaker joins up with Austin and Dude Love. The crowd loves their Canadians guys but part of them seems to not want to boo Austin. Even Undertaker gets booed. Pillman helps out the Harts for the victory and he is just asking to get beat up by the Undertaker.

[1997-07-21-WWF-Raw] Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon
He's been selling that knee injury the whole year book.

[1997-07-21-WWF-Raw] Interview: Paul Bearer
Statue or Statute? Paul seemed to be going back and forth between the two.

[1997-07-21-WWF-Raw] Bret Hart and Vince McMahon
Well, I'm cool with Vince getting smacked around but we get a real testy face to face confrontation between the two. And they get physical with each other too! Everyone is just craping on Vince right now. That was so unprofessional on your part McMahon.

[1997-07-21-WWF-Raw] Interview: Shawn Michaels
Major boos for Shawn as he comes out. Michaels is such a dick! Even if you are an American you are looking at Shawn as a heel. Naughty words from the Canadians about Shawn. Michaels mentions he will be a part of the Flag match. Crowd wants Bret. Shawn will be the special guest referee in the main event. Shawn is obnoxious.
-
[1997-07-21-WWF-Raw] Hart Foundation and Steve Austin
Yeah, I know. Months without Canada and we jump back and forth to it in the last couple week. Bret calls the Americans full of crap. JR talks about none of the stuff next week when they are in Pittsburgh! Oh, JR. Owen wants Austin to sucks his toes. Getting creepy here. Boos for Austin but he delivers a very quick promo.

German and intimidating!

[1997-07-21-WAR] Genichiro Tenryu vs Yoji Anjo
You want to see Anjo get his and Tenryu seems like the perfect guy to deliver. Anjo reverses the powerbomb into a sleeper. Anjo with the reverse figure four! Tenryu just clocks Anjo with a right hand. Close call on that submission attempt by Anjo. Yay. The wrestling guy wins.

[1997-07-19-ECW-TV] Pulp Fiction
New Jack has had it with the Dudleys. Joel Gertner is willing to put his hair on the line if the Dudley's don't win. He worries about his chest hair though. Promos from different guys including Jim Cornette! Rick Rude is pissed about Lawler!
-
[1997-07-19-ECW-TV] Shane Douglas & Francine promo
I'm just way too focused on Francine! Shane is just playing mind games on Taz. Wouldn't have been great like that promo Samuel Jackson pulled in Deep Blue Sea when the shark came out of nowhere and snapped him up. Would have been cool if it happened to Shane here. I hate Douglas saying he tapped because he didn't care about the TV title anymore.

[1997-07-19-USWA-TV] PG-13 vs Flash Flanagan & Steven Dunn / PG-13 promo
PG-13 back in USWA and they win the tag titles thanks to interference from PJ Walker. Lance plays up the seriousness of Flanagan being stretchered out. PG-13 do a black and while colored promo. Nobody cared about them until they won the tag titles. They have 30 days to defend though and they are large and in charge.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
I know I've seen comments from you before regarding your issues with the match but would you consider that to be your worst match of 86? Worse than Piper/Mr T? Anyways, I look forward to watching this cage match again as I try to finalize my ballot. I think there is a limit to how much the well can be poisoned when you're up against every other terrible match from a year. I have it above the Buck vs Regal match certainly because that match was just put on there to punish us. I kind of want to rewatch Piper/Mr. T? Was that the boxing match? Does that even count? Yeah, it's the boxing match but I do have to question like you said whether that counts now that I think about it. My problem with it was that it was given enough time on a major show and there was way too much pulled punches. Okay, but I'm still going to think it has to be way worse than tag team cage match. But yes Buck/Regal is a perfect example at what I stated originally about a match that goes way too long that is just boring as heck.

[1997-07-14-WCW-Nitro] Lex Luger, Sting and the NWO
Luger is hyped up about his win in the tag match. NWO surrounds Luger in the ring. But fake Sting shows up but he's is wearing a mask and is the real Sting. Nice play off all the previous stuff.
-
[1997-07-14-WCW-Nitro] Interview: NWO
So Nash is already ducking The Giant in July? He arises from his wheelchair to cut a short promo. Konnan has now joined the NWO. Chono just hangs out in the back.

[1997-07-14-WCW-Nitro] DDP, Randy Savage and La Parka
I want a La Parka versus Super Calo match the stuff that has been happening between them. Savage attacks the ring thinking La Parka is still DDP. Hennig ends up attacking DDP! Curt cannot be trusted by WCW. Flair doesn't seem to be worried about any of Hennig's recent actions.

[1997-07-14-WCW-Nitro] World Premiere of the Nitro Girls
I like looking at the ladies but this wasn't anything special in my book. Wasn't a big Nitro Girls fan.

[1997-07-14-WWF-Raw] Steve Austin & ?? vs Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith
It is not as good as the Michaels/Austin tag match. Steve going alone until we get a backstage camera shot of some white boots! Dude Love shows up on the Titantron. Austin has that what the hell look on his face. Dude Love with his own music comes out to tag with Austin. Stone Cold does a good job selling this to the point of being so shocked but still accepting Dude as his tag partner.
-
[1997-07-14-WWF-Raw] Interview: Shawn Michaels
Micheals knee and neck looking fine. The question is will he team with Stone Cold for the tag titles. Shawn says he is not 100%. Okay. He gets down on his knees (sore knee?) and bets Vince to be part of Summerslam. Can we get an MRI on that knee please?

[1997-07-13-WCW-Bash at the Beach] Hulk Hogan & Dennis Rodman vs Lex Luger & The Giant
My problem with this match right off the bat is not believing Rodman could compete in the ring with Luger and definitely not The Giant. HBK has to be thinking how he should have wrestled with sunglasses on. Rodman hits a armdrag as Hogan and Savage storm the ring to congratulate him. That is hilarious. Luger getting outclassed by Rodman! Why is Savage even out there? Rodman is game but come on that is so obvious Nash dressed up as Sting. Luger racks Hogan and Rodman/Savage too.
