This action looked good even with a shitload of people on the outside. Test was pushed hard and looked good here even though he had to be saved by Rock after eating the pedigree. This breaks down and the lights go out with Kane to a huge pop. Kane attacks DX and looks to have joined the Corporation.

Windham not joining the NWO but doing their dirty work is a little odd. Flair whips his ass and gives him multiple punches to the nuts and fights dirty. I loved the Horseman sneak attacking the NWO coming down and Bobby rightfully says this is what they should have done all along. Tony pointing out that its dumb they are getting restrained by security shows how effective he still could be at this time when allowed to do his own thing. Remember we are only two weeks away from his most regrettable call as an announcer and where people have constantly said he had checked out. Tenays new favorite saying is "LET THEM GO" Flair comes back into the ring and gives maybe the promo of the year. This has been a great year for mic work and this was so amazing with him mixing in swears and displaying emotion you just don't see much. I felt chills when he was talking about Reid and how his message to him is to never give up. That is haunting stuff.

I thought this was great. Eddy is really turning it up late in the year and was awesome here. Larry gives a groan inducing line on commentary that says he could break both of their necks if he wanted to. Tony appropriately tells him to pound sand and he is "needed here". The work on Rey's leg was great and Rey has regained his swagger mixing in great highspots with his awesome timing. Finish was fine to me too with Rey and Kidman having some beef now heading into Starrcade. (***1/2)

Well, I maybe can forgive the previous week as this was captivating. Flair being inspirited and lively is amazing and his promos are still spot on this late in the game as he riles the crowds up to a frenzy. I think this should have been the swan song for the NWO and Bischoff as a character if he loses. They could have done something like Hogan and Bisch getting into a bit of a skirmish about Hogan not caring anymore. Hell Hulk vs. Flair here could have worked. Anyway, I loved this for Flair.

I am a bit confused as to the timeline of Santo being a tecnico or Rudo but damn if him and Casas aren't a great team. I watched this before the set came out and loved it as a sprint brawl with tons of stiff shots, mask ripping and overall chaos. The time and cohesiveness prevents it from being an all time classic but it was a great end to 1998 lucha which when it cropped up, impressed me quite a bit. (****)

I dont know if this was better than The Nation parody or not. Jason Sensation was my highlights having Shawns mannerisms down. HHH as The Crock just isnt very funny and way too generalized. I did love The Rock here going through the series of catchphrases until he found his. Shawn next to the Rock is a lot of fun.
