Way to go, Mick. "I say to you, DWAYNE--you piss on everything I believe in, I say piss on you, you self-righteous egotistical son of a bitch." "The Rock says this--" "NO, *I* SAY THIS." He shuts down The Rock so effectively and brutally here that he actually gets the crowd cheering for him. A must-see segment, partly for Foley's performance and partly because it's so rare to see Rock just completely destroyed verbally. -

Miss Kitty is now the Kat and I guess this is a little creepy. Jericho answers Chyna's open challenge and absolutely eviscerates her. The title that had been held by Ricky Steamboat, Randy Savage, Rick Rude, and the Mountie is now in the hands of an incompetent woman. Then the breasts line draws a big "oooh..." reaction. Then declares that Chyna is not a woman but a hideous, grotesque freak of nature. As Jericho announces his declarations to restore dignity to the belt, he makes the mistake of turning his back on Chyna and she whacks him with the belt.

I admit to liking Rock's gimmick at this time of not knowing who any of the opponents are that Mick signs him to wrestle. "Who in the hell is Val Venis?!" Rock takes the book once he confirms that he's in it, but turns down Mr. Rocko even after Foley gave him a rinse in the Super 8 sink last night.

Karina Steen just Tweeted that she got hacked. Owens deleted his media accounts, according to her, so that he wouldn't get hacked also.

I will say that Brian has openly expressed that he's getting tired of the top 10 himself and was thinking of making it be more about topics (What If, Slaughtering a Sacred Cow) than characters. I hope he continues with that. A few recent episodes I think skipped the top 10 entirely.

PWInsider is reporting that FloSports has shuttered FloSlam and laid off its staff.

For someone who preaches about how wrestling is to be enjoyed and for fun, Johnnny sure doesn't seem to be having much fun talking about it with others. Unless this is his "Oh, you know I don't actually mean all this" shtick again.

Buff turns on La Parka on Thunder (check out the BTS episode for that to learn about what a clusterfuck that Thunder was) leading to this epic encounter. This was one of several segments Russo devised that involved actively shitting on WCW, like Madusa hawking Nitro cologne and Heenan putting over how terrible it smelled. What it all was supposed to accomplish, I don't know, other than "shoots" are inherent ratings draws. The heat is so nonexistent that you can hear individual fans--it's like a baseball game after 4 hours of rain delays. Buff makes a pathetic "shoot" attempt to beat down La Parka and mockingly goes through his Buff Is the Stuff strut, "does the job," then pops back up right afterward. I agree that this is one of the worst segments of the year--not as actively bad on its own as some of the worst Nash/Savage stuff, but bad in how portentous and ominous it was for where WCW was going under Russo. Jeff Jarrett shows up the night after No Mercy, debuting in a segment that's a pretty far cry from Lex Luger in '95 or Rick Rude in '97. Still, clocking Buff with the guitar after the way he was behaving makes this the Greatest Jeff Jarrett Segment of All-Time.

Sid looked better in his Horsemen tuxedo. Sid as a lawyering heel really only works in Memphis where he plays it more low-key instead of trying to act psycho. In addition to how low-rent, as Loss puts it, this all comes across, we get some glimpses of what Russo is like without the WWF's agenting, filters, and attention to detail. I can't imagine the WWF not making it very clear to the lawyer guy how to sell the spear and how long to sell it for, and if he did get up early like this guy does, they'd hide it with their camera direction. Or they'd have the sense to just hire a local indy guy to take the bump. Russo doesn't have the attention span for stuff like that on his own and he sure wasn't going to get any help from WCW brass who were disorganized even in the best of times with bookers who had strong long-term vision. The Goldberg-Outsiders confrontation is much better, but the long backstage ejection stuff is pretty interminable. Whiny Nash is possibly the most annoying Kevin Nash of all.

We've got guest commentators at ringside and shots of the First Family in the back to distract us from all this pesky wrestling going on. Kidman praises Booker for being a "great worker" and "great performer"--good Lord. Of course Billy would top himself in a few months in that catch-as-catch-can debacle when he reacted with disappointment upon Malenko giftwrapping a win for him in 2 minutes--how can a guy I've praised for his surprisingly solid fundamentals be so clueless about working? Eddy isn't too good either, shitting on Harlem Heat to the point where an Animals' win sounds pretty meaningless. The crowd, not weighed down with all this extracurricular bullshit, pops for the win.
