I hope the Usos get some votes for best tag team this year, they deserve it more than any other WWE tag team. You could make a case for them as the best in-ring guys in WWE this year.

The best tag is clearly CK-1 and anyone arguing otherwise is just a big dum-dum.

WWE Super ShowDown 2020 is still #3 on there after all this time. As it should be.

Laughing that apparently one of the worst shows ever was a WWE d-show consisting entirely of a 2 minute match between Great Khali and JTG.

WWE has the best wrestlers from the last 20 years employed at this moment

I keep seeing this sentiment posted in regards to WWE and honestly, at this point, is that even true? Other than Bryan, who o the WWE roster is better than Okada? Tanahashi? Shingo? Omega? Ibushi? Naito? YAMATO? Ben-K? The Bucks? Fenix? PAC?

Baron Corbin and The Miz?

Unrelated but looking back on it NXT TakeOver: Rival might've been one of the best WWE cards ever, the main event of Sami v Owens I remember to this day as well.

I'm gonna be honest, but Sami getting squashed there pretty much completely killed my interest in NXT. It was just more WWE heeeeeat. Face champ spends a year climbing the mountain and finally gets his big win but immediately gets squashed by the newly arriving heel and there was no time for the audience and the face to enjoy his run on top. This was also the start of "the hottest free agent in sports entertainment" showing up and immediately winning/feuding with the champ era of NXT and that sucked and lead us to Bobby Roode vs Drew McIntyre which no thanks ew.

It's very stupid that all the bad faith critiques of Dave for misogyny are in defense of Actual Rapist Vince McMahon and his billion dollar company. Or when WWE stooge Ryan "I worked with literal white supremacist Joe Arpaio and helped him achieve his goals" Satin tries to cancel him for being racist against Hispanic people. It obscures any legit criticism good faith actors might have of Meltzer.

Bryan and Vinny vs. Nitro and Russo - WCW Review with Video - Nov 1st, 1999

Was harder to have motivation for this one. Lance Storm is on this episode, for all two or three times he talks, I think he might've changed the vibe in the room, at least at first, and it took longer for the guys to get more into their shenanigans. There also wasn't so much opportunity for visual gags and creative editing stuff in this one. More of a straightforward review. Still, plenty of goofy stuff in this episode.

There's a moment in this where Bret says "SCREW YOU SCOTT" and it's just so Canadian, I couldn't explain why but his accent, what he's saying, it's perfect :canada:

Includes: A really bad Vince impression, a woman kidnapped and put in a shark cage, a Something On a Pole match, a seriously weird production botch, Lex Luger hamming it up, Sid falling for a terrible disguise, superfluous chains, a random turn, Vince Russo mocking a heartfelt plea, seduction and making out in the ring, Bret Hart being very Canadian, a truly awful tournament, Norman Smiley in a catcher's outfit, Goldberg on the set of Ready 2 Rumble, the Nitro Girls feuding with each other... you know, I just realized, when Kimberly said she had more important things to do than be in the Nitro Girls, she meant she was gonna hit David Flair with a car I guess. Bigger and better things!

The video on Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x81n45u
I will put it up on Youtube later but it'll be slideshowy so I won't bother posting it here.

Probably still won't process into HD but it's not like Nitro was in HD in the first place.

Legit, Vinny noting that The Cat vs. Lash LeReux was the only first round match with an actual finish is the most wrestling has made me laugh in a long time.

Bryan and Vinny vs. Nitro and Russo - WCW Review with Video - Nov 22nd 1999

There's been a PPV between last episode and this one, and Bret Hart is your world champ! The Outsiders are less all over this episode, but Jeff Jarrett is, so it's a wash. The ongoing Lex and Elizabeth weirdness continues, there's soap opera poo poo, more stuff about THE WRITERS, lots of bad, short matches. It's not quite as wacky or rant-filled as previous episodes, but it's still a delightful dose of Russo for you.

FEATURING: Piano playing, Meng being Meng, attempted flag burning, a large woman crushing a smaller woman's head between her thighs, an abrupt heel turn, an abrupt face turn, Roddy Piper, Vince Russo's filthy toothbrush, Nitro Girls fighting, attempted murder, a limo driver who's completely dead inside, another woman in another shark cage, a faction breaking up, infidelity, a stoned hippie, WCW cologne, and the debut of Stacy Kiebler!

Smooth video on Dailymotion: https://dai.ly/x854prg

I'm following their recommended export settings more closely, so hopefully this processes into HD.

Legit, these are some of my favorite wrestling content out there, thanks for doing them.
