Jarrett didn't stay a face for long though, as he quickly transitionned into the sneaky 5th member of the 4 Horsemen, trying to take Mongo's spot and wife, which was a fun program. But yeah, Jarrett first coming up as a *face* after years of chickenshit heel in WWF and playing the "I'm wrestling tradition" card was a bomb.

This is WWF getting desperate while WCW was just kicking their asses with the angle of the decade. How could they thought it would get over ? I did like Ross pseudo heel turn though. Heel Ross would have been a blast. I'm very critical of what Ross became later, but I really loved his work during this time preceding the Attitude Era.

A match when Yoshida and Shimoda, and Ito was your favourite ? Blasphemy ! This is a footstomp fetish I guess. Anyway, Ito was quite the worker, but it's been so long since I've watched joshi. The only match involving her that jumps to my mind is the infamous LCO vs Ito & Watanabe cage match from 97, which is just awesome. I guess FLIK would have fresher references that I do at this point, but Ito was one hell of a worker. She was on the undercard during the interpromotionnal era, and really got her push to the main event in the early 00 (maybe even late 90's). Her footstomps looked brutal though, especially when she gained weigh.

From the Raven/Axl Rotten shoot interview. Axl talks about why his WCW stint was cut short : Raven : So, what happened in WCW ? Axl : Grizzly Smith was not a fan of me, at all. Raven : You weren't a 12 year old girl. Axl : Yeah... And really, he fucked me, man... Raven : So, you were a 12 year old girl.

Rapid forearm trading that is overdone and never sold just completely kills it for me. Well, *that* was driving me kinda crazy too to be honest. Hopefully it will go away.

I love how these days enjoying japanese wrestling has become the nadir of wrestling fandom. How times change. I haven't seen anything in about two years, but last time I checked, it was perfectly fine and good for 00's wrestling.

All this mixing of UFC and pro-wrestling makes me crazy. I can't wait until the presidential course here in 2012, because we'll get some awesome pro-wrestling promos. Jean-Luc Mélanchon is alreay aiming at best heel...

It's not going to end well, and that's really sad to watch.

Is Kane even worthy of being *rated* to begin with ? It's amazing that this guy is still around. I was dead tired of him and his shitty work by late 98. I heard he worked a lot this year with Edge. Oh, the horror...

When I watched Superstars in the early 90's, Hogan was never a part of it. I was hearing about him, but never got to watch him in action. So whenever I got to see him, it felt like big-time event. It also fet like a disapointment because I soon realized I didn't like this guy at all and thought his wrestling sucked compared to my favourites, but that's another story. But yeah, Hogan showing up on TV was felt as something big to me.

The beginning of "whiny Bret" that would turn Austin face. The thing is, Bret was actually right about everything he said. But yeah, it came off as whiny. Still, a wrestling interview that sound real, that makes sense and that build a wrestling rivalry based on wrestling. Hey, might be a good idea...

My interest in the Dudleys dropped to zero with the arrival of D-Von, and really, the only thing they got me interested again is Bubba turning heel. D-Von had the same three catchphrases, which was good for what it was I guess, but Bubba and Gertner carried the Dudz on the mic too. Usually my favourite part of a Dudley Boys match was Gertner's intro. D-Von is probably the guy whose stock dropped the most (along with Lance Storm, but he went from "really good" to "decent at the very best" in my mind while D-Von went from "decent" to "useless").
