Raven always thought he'd eventually drag Dreamer to his side, but Tommy has dragged him to his. He now wants to do the right thing, and promises he'll be there for Dreamer to get rid of the Impact Players at the PPV. We zoom out and Francine is listening, and seems receptive. I actually kind of hope this isn't another swerve on Dreamer because Raven needs some freshening up and a babyface turn, however ill-conceived a babyface Raven is on paper, is one way of doing that. -

Pretty good action and a very cute finish, that's not only clever but is a little bit of character advancement for the Rock as this seems like the first time he's actively working to help Mick. I could do without Al doing comedy spots involving a bowling shirt while he's supposed to be working as a deranged heel, but at least he ended up being the butt of the joke in the end.

Nothing will top the black tights with neon green polka dots in terms of bad Lawler outfits--not even when he wears Browns colors. And of course there's this: If there was an NHL-licensed computer game in the early '80s, that's what the Vancouver Canucks uniform graphics would look like.

Bix is the only person on the planet besides me who notices what a horrible record Flair has in the red trunks. Some of his worst losses come in the red gear: losing the title to Steamboat, losing the title to Savage, losing the title to Bret, getting eliminated from the '93 Rumble, being forced out of the WWF by Perfect, possibly others I'm forgetting. (Edit: He had the red on at Havoc '94). The most prominent *victory* I can remember him picking up in the red would be the cage match over Kerry, if I'm remembering that correctly. What I'm trying to say is, we need mookieghana to give us a detailed chart and analysis of how often Flair wore which colors and how successful or unsuccessful he was in each.

The writing had been on the wall for poor Test for quite some time--from not getting major revenge on the British Bulldog way back when he clocked Steph with a trash can, to not getting to sub for Austin at Survivor Series, to not trying to do anything after HHH married his fiance, to...this. Again, maybe Test was never going to be a perennial main eventer, but he sure deserved a chance to carry the ball for at least a PPV or two.

Rock kisses up to Tampa Bay Devil Ray HOFer Wade Boggs--of course Boggs was a longtime wrestling fan but it's a good illustration of where wrestling was at this point. Fun energetic match, though I don't know if all the HHH/Stephanie involvement was necessary, nor was the false finish--that said, they did need to get the idea over that HHH and Stephanie were now in charge and drunk with power. The idea of Snow not actually being a licensed referee and thus the pin not counting is the kind of minor attention to detail that Russo was incapable of but still welcomed even in the era of wins, losses, and rules not really mattering.

Ooh, a Mike Graham sighting--as thrilling as it sounds. Rhonda Singh shows up with the Nitro Girls for no particular reason. I don't think I'd want Finlay as a personal trainer but it's mildly amusing to watch him abuse Brian Knobbs. "The Block"--ROTFL. Smiley's girly screams are interesting but the production is out-and-out hilarious. Tank Abbott and Meng continue a fight from elsewhere which leads to Abbott vs. Flynn. We can't actually show a conclusion or declare a winner of anything because of course that doesn't matter. Russo tells Orndorff and his Howie Long haircut that he's fired because he trained Midnight. Orndorff was a New Orleans Saint?! The Howie Long line wasn't so good that Russo had to re-use it. La Parka helps Creative Control restrain Orndorff and that's a match I'd much rather have seen.

My culturally ignorant too-much-wrestling-watching ass can't think of any Western analogue to Kitano--it's like, I dunno, if Jordan Peele started a successful talk show and ran it for years between Key & Peele and becoming an award-nominated director and continues making more Get Outs.

I can't imagine watching this for 30 minutes but the action we see isn't offensively bad or anything. In a shocking twist, they do NOT have Stephanie pick up the sledgehammer, prepare to hit HHH, then swing around and hit Vince instead. Instead she costs Vince the match through more subtle means and solidifies her turn afterward. And things will never be the same again.

I dunno, I thought the Good Housekeeping Match and this were pretty close in overall quality, but the first match was due to all the bells and whistles surrounding it, while Jericho turned in a better individual performance and match layout (assuming Jericho laid out/called the match). Backstage fighting aside, at least the finish to this was the right one, as Jericho wins decisively.
