That finish is still really great. I completely forgot about midcard babyface HHH but he was definitely over, and MSG came unglued when he won.

Yeah, that pop when Trips wins is one of my all-time favorites.

Watching old PPVs and Raws really shows how lovely the camera work has become these days.

I watched Summerslam '92 on the network the other day because it has Bret's favorite all-time match of his career on it and some of the card looked interesting.

The match is light years ahead of everything else on the card, which is good, because the card sucks poo poo. At the same time, though, today that match would be well-recognized as a complete carry job. I would still put it at about 9-10 years ahead of the rest of the WWF, though.

The second best match, by a pretty wide margin, is the Ultimate Warrior/Savage match, which is overbooked with Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect trolling everyone and ends in bullshit.

Bulldog was allegedly on crack during the match. I don't remember if it was in Brets book or I read it somewhere else.

Yeah Bret said he was completely tweaked and Bret was worried all night that Bulldog would ruin the match somehow.

Tuned in for the first time in awhile to catch Malenko/Rey from Nitro. I'm sad because for a second I thought they actually added episodes of Nitro and was playing one randomly on the network :(

Tuning into the Network right now, and they're playing a mini documentary on Golddust. It's interesting, Dustin actually talks about how he didn't want to do all the "weird" stuff since he's a good ol' Texas boy, but the first time he felt up Savio the crowd went ballistic and called him homosexual slurs. So then he was into it since he saw it was easy heat.

I kinda expected them to kinda whitewash all that.

As awful as that Lion's Den match was, I wish that Vince or Shane would start their own MMA league with a larger version of that cage. Angled walls and the ref on the top is a cool visual.

I actually thought the first one was pretty good. It was a fun bit of something different if nothing else.

It looks like they are now going to be doing Smackdown in chronological order beginning this week. The second and third episodes are about to be added in a few days. That would be neat BUT kind of useless without Raw in the same period.

Randy Orton's debut just aired on the Network. Never realized how the OVW guys all basically wrestled the exact same. Randy was good though.

Bash at the Beach 1999 is opening with a dance contest. Why did WCW go under again?

Edit: Tony Schiavone just called Sonny Onoo a "tremendous karate fighter". Wasn't that a toy that the WWF sponsored around that time?

Awesome, this is right around the time when WCW really begins to circle the drain. I hope this inspires some of you to start your own WCW death tour, especially if this is your first time watching it.
