  20. Jesus, was the main event a give back to Lawler winning by Split DEC over Rory? St. Pierre's face was hamburger but "Compubox" numbers were in Rush's favor from what I saw. I can see from a statistics standpoint that GSP squeaked out that fight, but wow, my gut says that Johnny should be champ now.

  22. Fo this to work, it should be something more Miz-ish. He should be reciting his favorite David Boreaniz monologs. And he should end every line by saying his name into the camera. "The bitch is, you have a soul now. Pretty soon, those memories are gonna start eatin' away at you. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to escape the truth of what you were. Believe me, .... I know..... The Miz!"

  28. After two years, eight months, and nine days, we are finally here... Monday Nitro 3/26/01 -"Night of Champions" -From Panama City, FL -The final WCW show opens with...Vince McMahon, who gloats about purchasing the company, giving his infamous "the fate of WCW is in my hands" speech. The live crowd actually cheers this, BTW. On a personal note, I'll always remember the moment I found out that Vince had bought WCW. I was at a friend's house, and they had two computers. I was on one and he was on another, and I went to WWF.Com, where the announcement was right on the main page. I said "holy shit" and told him to go to the same page. He did, and the first thing he said was "holy shit". We then called another friend, told him to do the same...and you can figure out what his first two words were. -The Nitro open airs for the last time. -Hosts are Tony Schiavone & Scott Hudson -Tony & Scott kick off the show by wondering what Mr. McMahon is going to say later. They also talk about all the titles being on the line tonight, including a World/U.S. title unification. Tony has the looks of someone who knows his hours are numbered, and he's doing his best to concentrate on the show that is in front of him. -Ric Flair comes out to respond to what Vince said. Flair runs down a list of all the NWA/WCW greats (throwing Bagwell in there for some reason), and says that Vince won't hold their fates in his hands. Flair, company man to the end, puts WCW over as "the greatest wrestling organization in the world" despite the treatment he received the last few years. Of course, his tune changed the moment he got a job with the WWF ("that place needed to be closed down a year before it was"), and that really diminishes the moment here. Flair mentions that when Vince was just starting to become an announcer, Vince Sr. voted for Flair to be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Flair says that while in the offices it was WWF VS WCW, to the boys it's always been about being the best performer they could be. Flair goes after Vince for never being an active wrestler and not having to do what he and the others had to, then says he can't hold the futures of the current WCW employees in his hands. Well that's just not true. Flair then challenges Sting for one last match tonight. -UP NEXT: The World/U.S. title unification. I've always been baffled by the decision to put this on first. I guess they figured they didn't have to worry about rating or anything and just said "fuck it" and put the card in a blender. -Match 1 for the WCW World Heavyweight & United States Championships: World Champion Scott Steiner (w/Midajah) VS United States Champion Booker T -BPP opens up with chops, but Booker comes back with a big clothesline for two. Booker goes for corner punches, but BPP hits a powerbomb to counter, and that gets two. BPP sends Booker outside, and Midajah slaps Booker. BPP goes for a pipe shot, but misses and hits the post. Back in, BPP hits a clothesline and an elbowdrop, but opts for push-ups instead of a pin. Booker tries to fight back, but BPP hits a belly-to-belly for two, then slaps on a surfboard. Booker gets out, and hits a dropkick, then after an exchange of punches, an axe kick. Booker hits a flapjack, followed by a spinaroonie and a Harlem Side Kick. BPP counters the Book End, and hits a Northern Lights Suplex for two. Booker slides out of a powerbomb, and hits the Book End to unify the titles. Way too short to be appropriate for either the end of BPP's reign or a unification match, but they have a lot to get through on this show, so it's understandable. Still a pretty weak way for the WCW title proper to go out. -Vince talks to one of his lawyers, and can't resist throwing in a shot at Panama City. -The end of the world title match is re-aired. -Match 2 for a Shot at the Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship: Yung Dragons VS 3 Count VS Rey Mysterio Jr. & Kidman -The Dragons get a jobber intro. 3 Count are Moore & Karagias. This is worked as a triple threat where guys can tag their own partners. Evan takes out both Kidman & Kaz, but then stops to celebrate, allowing Yang to sneak in and hit a wheelbarrow slam. Yang mocks Evan, and Rey springs in with a rana to take him down. This leads to a series of dives, ended by a shooting star by Kidman to the outside. Back in the ring, Yang hits Rey with Yang Time, but Kidman saves. Kidman goes for the Kid Krusher on Yang, but Moore breaks that up, and hits Kidman with the Bottom's Up. Kaz makes a save with a kick, then the Dragons hit a double team on Moore. Evan hits a 450 on Kaz, but Kidman makes another save. Kidman wipes he and Evan out. Shannon blocks a Bronco Buster from Rey, but Rey counters a shoulderblock from the apron with a knee to the face, then finishes with a guillotine legdrop. This was a fun sprint while it lasted. Definitely the TV version of what the cruiserweights were doing at the time. -Vince it on the phone talking to someone about a particular piece of WCW talent, before he's interrupted by Trish. She brings some champagne, but he's all about hitting that instead. Can't say I blame him. -A video recaps the cruiserweight title change at Greed. -Match 3 for the Cruiserweight Championship: Shane Helms [c] VS Chavo Guerrero -Helms I think is someone who got screwed by WCW closing. He had that nice run as The Hurricane for a while, but it looks like he was being positioned to be a breakout star in WCW over the last couple months. They slug it out to start, then Chavo hits a belly-to-back suplex. Shane blocks a superplex, then hits a flying sunset flip for two. Chavo comes back with a big clothesline for two. Chavo ducks a clothesline, then hits a throw for two. Chavo blocks a DDT, then hits a Northern Lights suplex for two. Shane blocks a sunset flip, and gets a near-fall. Shane hits a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, but Chavo rolls under a superkick. They fight over an inverted suplex with neither hitting it. Shane hits a superkick, then calls for the Vertebreaker. Chavo fights it off once, but can't fight it off twice, and Shane retains. While obviously not as good as their PPV match, it was a good TV version of it. -LATER TONIGHT: Team Canada will challenge for the world tag titles. -Booker T says that even though WCW is closing, he will move on and prove that he is the best the wrestling business has to offer. -Lance Storm stands at attention for the Canadian anthem. -Michael Cole barges into Vince's office, saying that WCW fans are worried that they won't see that brand again and that the wrestlers are worried about their jobs. Vince asks Cole how he feels about his own job security before throwing him out and drinking some champagne with Trish. -Match 4 for the WCW World Tag Team Championship: Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire [c] VS Lance Storm & Mike Awesome -O'Haire & Storm start. That doesn't last long, as Palumbo gets in and hits Storm with a fallaway slam, but he then goes after Awesome, allowing Storm to hit a superkick. Awesome gets in, and Chuck settles into the FIP role. Chuck avoids a Storm dropkick and hits a catapult, but Storm comes back with a low dropkick to regain control. Storm promptly allows the hot tag to O'Haire, who cleans house before hitting a flapjack on Awesome for two. Team Canada gets Palumbo in the ring by himself, but O'Haire pulls Storm outside, then Palumbo slides out of an Awesome Bomb before hitting a superkick, followed by a Seanton Bomb from O'Haire for the pin. Meh. -LAST WEEK: Bam Bam Bigelow talks Shawn Stasiak into agreeing to a tattoo match for tonight. -Stacy comes out, and first teases dancing for the crowd before introducing Stasiak. -Match 5: Shawn Stasiak (w/Stacy) VS Bam Bam Bigelow [Tattoo Match] -Bam Bam thankfully interrupts Stasiak's attempt at cutting a promo. Bam Bam hits a couple punches to start, but he then misses an avalanche, and Stasiak scores with a clothesline. Bam Bam avoids a cross-body, then hits a slam followed by a diving headbutt, but Stacy distracts the ref. Bam Bam goes for the Greetings, but Stacy holds Stasiak's legs to block, and Stasiak hits the hangman's neckbreaker for the pin. Yup, that was a TV match. -William Regal talks to Vince to first plug WrestleMania X-Seven, then advises Vince against buying WCW. -In a pre-recorded video, DDP thanks the fans for letting Page Joseph Faulkenburg become Diamond Dallas Page. -A video (that definitely looks WWF-produced) spotlights the history of the NWA/WCW world title. -Vince tells someone he's about to get ready to make his simulcast address. -Match 6 for the Cruiserweight Championship: Skipper & Romeo [c] VS Kidman & Mysterio -Skipper & Romeo also got screwed, perhaps worse than Helms, since they went from being future players in the cruiserweight division to not having jobs at all. Tony reacts to Regal's comments from earlier, including his infamous "we've had to do crazy things here Steven Regal, including put your ass over on TV". Skipper & Romeo go right on the attack, getting Kidman down and hitting The Quebecers' finisher. Romeo cheapshots Rey before going back to attacking Kidman. Skipper gets in, and bridges out from underneath a Kidman cross-body before landing a leg lariat. Romeo gets in, but Kidman catches him with a dropick, then makes the tag to Rey. Rey cleans house, hitting a swinging DDT on Romeo for two. Rey takes Romeo out, then the challengers team up on Skipper, leading to a Bronco Buster from Rey. Romeo clobbers Kidman with a clothesline then dumps Rey. Romeo hits Kidman with Angel's Wings, but Rey saves. Rey hits Romeo with a springboard headbut, but Skipper saves. Skipper hits Rey with a straightjacket suplex from the electric chair position, but Kidman saves. Rey wipes Romeo out, then Kidman counters the Play of the Day into the Kid Krusher to win the titles. Another decent enough sprint. -Sting, in a room filled with hanging baseball bats, cuts a promo about his match with Flair. -Vince walks down a hallway. -Match 7: Ric Flair VS Sting -Flair, in "fuck it" mode, forgoes his now-usual Hawaiian shirt and slacks for a robe (albeit with a t-shirt on), and tights. As Tony recaps the history of Flair VS Sting, Flair tries a couple shoulderblocks, but only bounces off Sting. Hudson notes that the Sting-Flair match at the first CLASH was up against WrestleMania IV. Sting absorbs a couple chops, then sends Flair outside. They go through a couple counters, then Sting hits a gorilla press followed by corner punches. Sting tries to add more punishment, but Flair goes low to turn the tide. Flair hits a couple chops, then drops a knee on Sting's forehead. Flair hits a snap mare and goes up top, but you should know by now how it goes for Flair. Sting hits a couple clotheslines, but whiffs on a dropkick. Flair gets the figure 4, but Sting holds on, and eventually manages to reverse the hold, and Flair breaks. Sting no-sells some chops, then goes on the attack, hitting a superplex then finishing with the Scorpion Deathlock. Sting & Flair hug it out after the decision. Pretty much an abbreviated, put & paste version of every Flair VS Sting match, but that's what it needed to be. A perfect in-ring send-off for WCW. -Vince delivers his "State of WCW Address". If you're reading this thread, you probably know how this goes. -FINAL THOUGHTS: Well, that's that. As a wrestling show it moved briskly and nothing was too bad, but the watching it over twelve (!) years later, the show just has an air of sadness about it throughout, knowing how it turned out for almost everyone on the show, and the WCW name as a whole. It's worth a look for historical value if you haven't seen it, but if you're like me, it'll be pretty depressing, knowing that this is how the era of wrestling that you grew up with came to an end.

  32. Bad day for Scandinavia. It took me ages to come to terms with Ronaldo and overlook his antics and bs, then he not only eliminates my second favourite team singlehandely in FIFA 13 pace rush fashion, he also pulls a "YOU ARE STAYING HERE!" gesture against a mostly fair opposition. I know we are a wrestling board and 90 % here are gonna be "AWESOME" and will be posting videos and shit, but in combination with all the sportsmanship conduct stuff going on I really want him to receive a one or two game ban for the finals.

I love Cam Newton, I love Steve Smith and Luke Kuechly and Ted Ginn, I love Brady petulantly cursing out a referee - by the way, how would ESPN respond if that was Cam? - and I love football. Next up, Miami.

  38. Naw, Vickie was really entertaining tonight. It was just weird that she's a heel and AJ is still a heel...even if she shouldn't be. Vickie and AJ don't like each other. They have a long history. So does Rey Mysterio with Cody & Punk but that didn't stop the babyfaces from all being happy-go-lucky. You can't just have it one way... Why not? People are different. I always hated the whole "All heels are friends and all faces are friends" shit. Who's to say that Cody saw the error of his old ways and now sees Rey as an ally, but AJ still dislikes Vickie and vice versa? Shit, they actually took the time to explain their history. And why wouldn't Orton want to beat up Maddox, who's incompetence last week caused him to get choke slammed thru a table?

  40. During the exit interview from my last job, I told my manager that he sucked and then gave several examples of exactly why. 3 years later, he'd changed jobs (he has this awesome skill for looking really smart, moving fast, and making people think he's working hard without actually being any good at his job) and he ended up offering me a job. I didn't take it but got a nice pay raise to stay at my then-current position. Was nice that he didn't hold a grudge for me ripping him.
