The rare WCW show where the main event is better than the undercard.

The promotion is on fire now. Not in the sense that things are good and exciting but in the sense that it is burning to the ground and soon naught will be left but ash.

(USA Wrestling was not a bad show.)

So now we segue from WCW being extremely dull and non-sensical bad (Kevin Nash era) to entertaining car-wreck bad (Russo era), to a fusion of two into "Holy poo poo we're losing 60 million dollars a year and all of our draws and even our midcarders and we have no idea what to do anymore" appallingly bad.

If I remember right, some of the best (i.e. least worst) shows from late-era WCW were right after somebody had left, and Sullivan and the other guys left on the booking committee booked more-or-less sensible shows, without a bunch of crazy nonsense.

It was technically a feud over the intellectual property of Harlem Heat including the name, music, and letter T between Booker T and Harlem Heat 2000.

I love that even after Russo they can't book a good show to save their lives. Like even the interim between Bischoff and Russo was just dull.

There was really something terminal in the culture at WCW. It wasn't just who was at the helm.

I have heard that Sullivan, outside of WCW, was actually pretty good as a booker so you might be onto something there

Yeah Russo went home right before a PPV that really couldn't be salvaged anyway because of all the injuries. Souled Out 2000 was doomed in a lot of ways.

I'm pretty sure that Tank vs Big Al is an jacket vs beard apuestas match

also Big Al said that he could rip that jacket off Tank's back, so it's going to naturally be a jacket on a pole match.

Bam Bam Bigelow's entire WCW career is defined by having matches nobody could possibly want to see.

When 1999 WCW was still good, Bam Bam dragged things down, and since everything's been flying off the rails awful he hasn't had anything bad or stupid enough to make me excited to see it, unlike the Big T vs. Booker T matches of the world, nor the possibility of a match actually being decent like the Cruiserweight Title Ma-...uh...uhh......uhhh.....Kidman vs. Vampiro?
