The way Don West says "You heard me!" at about 0:26 in the video above is actually pretty awesome. I love the way he goes with the hard S's in "You've been to my houssssse. Our wivesss are best friendsss." "You didn't have the ballsss" the same way he did when he would be yelling about "GEM MINT ROOKIESSSSS"

I did like the shakey cam/documentary style way of shooting Bischoff pioneered for a while. Very unique and made the show look really different from Raw or SmackDown.

I've been saying they should do that with matches just to differentiate themselves from WWE television.

That and when the heels would meet backstage, the camera would be shooting through a window or crack in the door. i always thought that looked better and made more sense than the WWE style. Where the heels stand in front of the camera, acting like it's not there, reciting their nefarious plan to fuck over the babyface.

MMA Jarrett, probably the only time in his entire carreer that i was looking forward to Jeff Jarrett segments.

 

Nash/Papparazzi pairing, most entertaining thing he has ever done, loved him and Shelley in this.

 

Austin Aries' one year rise to the top and winning the title.

 

Ultimate X was a nice concept and usually delivered, until they started having it like 4-5 times a year and totally devalued the gimmick.

 

Agree about the documentary style of backstage segments for a while, loved that, specially when shooting heels without them realizing it.

 

Giving Christian a chance to be a main event player.

 

Keeping the War Games concept kind of alive with Lethal Lockdown.

 

Samoa Joe's initial undefeated run.

They were good at explaining why there was a camera catching backstage stuff until Hogan/Bischoff came in.
