[1999-10-18-WWF-Raw] Chyna and Chris Jericho
Jericho would've had a fair proportion of the fanbase cheering him on here. At least he's moved onto a proper feud now rather than darting around.

[1999-10-18-WCW-Nitro] La Parka vs Buff Bagwell
If Vince Russo were put on trial for crimes towards the wrestling industry (and he should be) then this abomination would be presented as evidence. There's very few things that actually make me angry on the Yearbooks. Even stuff that enraged me at the time it's now just like yeah, that happened. Watching this again made me sick to my stomach.

[1999-10-17-WWF-No Mercy] Jeff Jarrett vs Chyna (Good Housekeeping)
At the time Chyna was my least favourite wrestler, so I can't imagine I was too enamoured by this. The prestige of the IC Title had already been shot to pieces this year. I don't recall this stipulation ever being repeated. Jarrett departs, never to return. Yet.

[1999-10-11-WWF-Raw] Interview: Shane & Stephanie McMahon
Don't worry about it Steph. You're one of the characters on a wrestling show. Everyone has short-term memory problems.

[1999-10-08-ECW-TNN] Interview: Tammy Sytch
Hard hitting anti-drugs segment, whether that was the intent or not. It's tough to believe Tammy is only 26 here. Comparing with how she looked on prior Yearbooks is alarming. In general I do have some degree of sympathy with wrestlers who got addicted to painkillers. It was the only way to make it through their ridiculous work schedules and not get fired.

[1999-10-07-WWF-Smackdown] Mark Henry and Sex Therapist
Mercifully Henry doesn't have a sister in real life.

[1999-10-02-WWF-Rebellion] Davey Boy Smith and Vince McMahon
It's really lame having the 'bump' off camera. It's screaming out to the audience that this is fake. The Bulldog was so far gone during his final WWF run, it's sad to see.

[1999-09-27-WWF-Raw] This Is Your Life
This segment actually did a higher rating than the 1999 Superbowl. True story. The Rock and Mankind were both so great on the mic and their mismatched buddies routine was golden. Plenty of fun moments and putdowns. I spat my drink out when Mr Rocko started talking! Plus we had an ever welcome guest appearance from Yurple the Clown. IYQ Yurple. The festivities are ended when the ultimate party pooper HHH poops all over everyone.

The State Of The Amazing NXT Match Of The Year 2K15 And How It Affects The NXT Fanbase
The present and past of marketing is to lie and try to get away with it. Stephanie and others in her position see the future of marketing differently. Still lie, but you can now own up to it later and nobody cares because corporations are expected to be deceitful.

Iron Man Matches - Women
Surely it should be an Iron Woman match? The JWP Thunder Queen Battle from 1993 was essentially iron man points scoring, but the rules were a bit different with a mixture of singles and tag matches. Jd' ran a glut of LSD rules matches in 2000-01. LSD2000 meant that the match lasted 2000 seconds. I think that they had a variety of different rules, but it was generally whoever got the last fall before the time limit expired was the winner. So the first true Iron Woman match I can find is The Bloody vs Sumie Sakai from Nov 23, 2001. That went the hour.

[1999-09-27-WCW-Nitro] The Total Package
I know it's a Scott Keith joke, but calling him The Total Parcel still cracks me up. I'm not sure why Flexy Lexy needed a rebranding as he was in a main event angle. Yet here we have The Narcissist reborn. WBF! WBF! The commentators start discussing his deltoids etc. Nothing could ever match Gorilla and Jesse on the Super Posedown, so don't even try it.

[1999-09-20-WWF-Raw] Jeff Jarrett & Debra vs Test & Stephanie McMahon
The start of Stephanie's glorious in-ring career. She gets to pin J-E-Double F after he gets crushed by Test in a couple of minutes. Well I could've done that.

[1999-09-16-WWF-Smackdown] HHH vs Vince McMahon
In time honoured fashion the booker gives himself the gold. This may have been the only case where the booker began his in-ring career in his 50's. The stock of all the WWF titles were going downhill fast with all these title changes. Vince is nowhere near as good a face as he is a heel. They're desperately trying to get HHH over but are going about it in totally the wrong way.

I was surprised when I saw the low prices on screen. Then again the quality of the merchandise looked like something you might find on the streets outside Arena Mexico.
