NIce pull apart brawl and Stacey's outfit in the stuido is even more jarring than the arena clips. I am into this stuff as it feels like a nostalgia angle but everyone still willing to put effort into it. I think the Fabs would be wise to be a little suspicious of Stacy given what she just did to Stasiak. -

Goldust wins the IC belt and then says something akin to seeing the true person behind the paint. I have no idea what that led to.

Wow, this was great. These two are probably my favorite pairing from the NWO era of main eventers at having consistently good matches on tv. This had a big brawl to it and then settled nicely with some good wrestling before the crazy finish. Hogan was working hard and him doing his babyface spots feels like a long time coming and gets the crowd behind him. WCW continues to have a lot of shit that misses but the action inside the ropes is still really good. ****

Really good Nitro style match that harbored back to the early 90's and the Blondes vs. Babyface era. Bobby and Tony are really going after each other here and not in a friendly way. It is uncomfortable to listen to. The double FIP and the break give a good bookend to the entire match and the finish was actually intriguing with Raven and Saturn costing them the belts. ***1/2

Yeah, this is Sting's return since the Fall when he left to get his house in order. Flair did a great job getting the crowd to turn against him as he was getting some cheers at the onset. DDP's promo was odd and him all of a sudden calling the fans jackoffs makes no sense being the people's champ for the past two years. Hogan comes in a gets some huge accolades and Sting shows up to look onto the proceedings. The star power is there still even if dated, the focus is lost.

I thought this was a great match that was overbooked and had the WWF brawling but it brought an intensity that would be lacking when this would happen for years to come. The finish also was overbooked but a ton of fun and had moments for both guys with the Rock being able to kick out of the stunner even with a delayed count. Mankind coming down and getting his pop was a nice moment and Austin's win followed right by Vince's great facial reaction made for a cluminating and triumphant moment. There arent many of these attitude matches that really hit for me that are worked in this manner but this was one of them. Right off hand, I can think of many last matches on the card Mania matches that are better than this one. 12, 17, 20, 22, 23, 26, and maybe 30. ****

I liked the action we got here and it feels short so I may check it and the Kobashi January match in full sometime. I am interested to watch these two throughout the year as going through AJ you kind of have an expectation of longer, epic title matches and they turned around that narrative.

Man these just don't get any better. Stuff on youtube these days is worlds better than this.

Who was the cash cow behind KAW that they can pay Sid.

This being a Raw main event feels like an odd hot shot by WWF part and really desperate for some reason when they had the war won by this point. Giant didn't look great and Austin seems to be sloppier than usual too but the finish was effective and we get our final sell job for Mania. Good go home show from the main event interest perspective.

This is ok but it does feel like we have had too many "guy dressed up as someone else" angles lately.
