Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

You['ve also inadvertantly inspired me to watch THE WORST NITRO EVER.

At least I hope it was.

Please God, let it be the worst Nitro I have to watch.

You should watch the Nitro from 2 weeks prior to gain context on this show!

There's only 2 hours of wrestling!

The Spring Break one was bad. The NEXT Nitro I'm looking at (from the year 2000) was the worst. So far. That recap will be up once I steel myself to go back and get screencaps.

Next up, some WCCW and WWE shows

You really should do the 3/8/1999 Nitro

Barefoot wrestling only works on bigger guys like Rusev or Umaga or Yokozuna, or guys whose gimmick it fits like Jimmy Snuka. Regular sized non-gimmicked dudes doing it just looks odd and distracting, especially if they're not wearing shin guards/knee pads/ankle wraps or anything else on their legs. Kevin von Erich always just looks like he hopped out of bed to go downstairs and drink straight out of the milk carton and accidentally found himself in a wrestling match

also Matt Riddle

Borash was the guy who used to do WCW Live, their internet radio show. After WCW finished, he joined TNA and still works there. I think he's now the longest tenured guy there, or if not, there's only a handful of guys otherwise.

He was the guy who worked with the Hardys to do all the Broken stuff, and filmed most of the action with his drones.

Next review should be up by the weekend, as I'm trying to be at least one or two shows ahead of myself.

And I decided to try and watch a rather infamous WCW Pay-Per-View.

From 1991.

It's kicking my rear end.

Send whisky.

*sends a copy of Uncensored 1996 instead*

Damning with VERY faint praise. Okay, I'll hit up the '95 show next.

95 is just a bad show top to bottom

96 has some good matches to start but the Booty Man is very dull match takes forever. The tag team street fight is like half hour and too long at that point on the show. The main event is infamous.

The 4 way tag match makes more sense when you realize that Disqo and the rest of the Filthy Animals has a match with the winner of the match the next night in Nitro.


So they basically spend the entire match engineering a scenario where they want Jindrak and O'Haire to win the match because they're power plant guys and green as hell. They have about a year of experience combined between the two of them.

It is kind of a subtle reason, but it makes sense that the semiheelish team of veterans with the next shot is going for the easy matchup.

Now this being WCW, the announcers never clue the audience in. Konnan outright comes and says it the next night on Nitro when questioned about it.

This also being WCW the angle is blown up twice in one night and the Animals beat Vampiro and Muta anyway.


Also the Viagra on a pole match was 2 weeks prior to New Blood Rising.

So you should totally review the 7/31/2000 Nitro sometime.

Guilty as loving charged. Big Kev didn't seem to give two shits about the show and my spellchecker did the same.

And yes, it took a couple-three drinks to finish the thing.

Now thinking I should try recapping a WCW show while blitzed and post it verbatim. Might make it easier, even if it blots my pristine rap sheet.
