Watched a ton of stuff last night and will watch more tonight. Anywho, lets get going.
Owen Hart vs. Dynamite Kid: Stampede Summer Sizzler 1989: The match was clipped, but what was available was damn good. Dynamite and Owen both bleeding heavily here. And Dynamite was REALLY lean.
Dynamite Kid vs. Davey Boy Smith: Japan 1984. Excellent match here. Not so hot on the finish, but it kept both guys looking great. Pre-WWF Bulldogs here. And no, Davey cannot grow a beard
Owen Hart vs. Ultimo Dragon: Japan 1992. Good match, but I dont think they even scratched the surface on what they could do --------------------------
WCW SIN 2001: Jarrett/Sid/Steiner/Mystery Man: Yeah, this is where Sid broke his leg in half. It wasn't even shown live, as they were cutting to Flair backstage when it happened. They really tried to hype Sid up as Superman on commentary fighting off two men. The mystery man was a disappointment, still, but he got a good pop. Line of the match was from Tony when Sid broke his leg "It looks Like Sid hurt his leg". No kidding
WCW Great American Bash 1996: Sting vs. Lord Steven Regal: Regal literally dominated the entire match. Surprised me here. Good wrestling as expected, but the crowd was flat for all Regals holds. I'd say all Sting did was get tied up by Regal then out of nowhere in 30 seconds come back. That hindered it, but it was still ok.
WCW Nitro 2000: Sting vs. Vampiro in a First Blood Match. Jesus where to start. The Red Liquid of Doom(!) comes down and incapacitates Sting. Then Vamp his his finish in the liquid(and he's ok though, it only affects babyfaces) and then hangs Sting in the air by his vest. That was a cool visual, I'll admit it. But the rest was rubbish
Slamboree 1996: Sting vs. The Giant. I really liked ths match until the very overbooked and complicated finish. It dd the job planting seeds of doubt, but it hindered what I thought was the best match The Giant had until that point. -----

ECW Tag Team Championships Heatwave 1998 Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs. Hayabusa & Jinsei Shinzaki
I don't know why I like this match so much, I just do. Nothing too over the top, besides the crowd spot, but those are always great. Just a fun match to watch.

Fall Brawl 1996
Decent PPV but all the matches seemed a bit too long.
Awesome to see Jericho/Benoit for the first time in WCW and to know what kind of matches they have.
Main Event was good, I really do hate the multiple rings but it didnt bother me so much this time and the fake Sting did a good job of being Sting. Strange ending though.
6/10 Not much happened and the undercard seemed like good filler.

Yeah to be fair I enjoyed the whole match, but like I said the ending was odd with Sting basically beating every NWO member making them look a bit weak then just leaving. Did like that fake Sting beat real Stings partner Luger. The aftermath went a bit long though with the beat down of Savage and whatnot.

Spoiler Free breakdowns. Halloween Havoc 1996: "That was a slobberknocker"- Dusty Best Match of the Night: Malenko vs Mysterio. Seriously, I think this is better than Rey/Eddie from the following year, by a lot. Have no idea why this match does not get praise or why it isn't on any WWE DVD's. Excellent, excellent match. Worst Match: Hogan vs. Savage. Everything about this match was atrocious, from Hogans wig, to wrestling in sunglasses, to what Liz was wearing, and then the actual match. God awful. Highlights: - DDP vs. Guerrero: This was very very good. DDP had some good wrestling matches in 96. Up there with the Mero match from Superbrawl. Finish was flat, but the match itself delivered. - Outsiders vs. Harlem Heat: An important match, and thats why its in here. - Ted Dibiase. Cut 3 good and short promos before NWO matches. When he gave the mic to Syxx or The Giant, you can see why they hired him as a mouthpiece Low Points: - Giant vs. Jeff Jarrett: This sucked bad. No one cared about Jarrett trying to be Naitch JR, and Flair was the most over thing at ringside. Awful. - Benoit/Mongo vs. Faces of Fear: Mongo killed this match. - Post Hogan/Savage: Piper's debut. Good. Straight downhill after that. Hogan had 1 point to say and he repeated it multiple times. Then the PPV went off MID PROMO. - Lex Lugers pre match promo. Hilariously terrible Middle of the Road: - Post match with Benoit/Mongo, Faces of Fear and Doom. It worked, but it didnt light the world on fire. - Lex Luger vs. Arn Anderson: Arn can't have a bad match, but this was nothing special. More storyline match than anything - Syxx vs. Jericho: Good, but they would have much better. Hampered by the fact no one cared about Jericho and Nick Patrick killed it. Rating: 3/10. The first two matches are worth seeing, Malenko/Mysterio definitely. But the rest is skippable unless you want to see the atrocity that was Hogan/Savage. ------------------------------------------ World War 3 1996: "What's a hamhock?" Best Match of the Night: Dragon vs. Mysterio: Damn good match between these two that the crowd loved. Should get more attention as well Worst Match of the Night: Jericho vs. Nick Patrick. Way too long, way too stupid, Way too Bad. "One Arm Tied Behind My Back Match" Highlights:- Hogan/Piper Contract Signing: Better left for Nitro, but this was good until the end - Harlem Heat/French Connection & Post Match: I was surprised by this match a lot. MUCH better than I thought and the big finish spot was unique but dangerous. - Sting. The man was already over like a million dollars and this was 2 months into the storyline Low Points: -Outsiders/Nasty's/Faces of Fear: This was a cluster and just God Awful. - End of Contract Signing: The chair shot to Piper's legitimately replaced hip made me cringe and there was no good reason for that. Middle of the Road: - Jarrett/Giant: Much better than Havoc, much shorter and the fans LOVED the Giant. - Malenko/Psychosis: Good, but could have been so much better. Something was just off about this and I cant put my finger on it. Huge disappointment - WW3 Match: Cluster , but the finish was red hot, albeit short. Rating: 5/10. Very middle of the road show. One match you definitely should see in the opener, two to avoid, and the rest was relatively in the middle. If Battle Royals are your thing, more specifically 60 men in 3 rings, then WW3 match will be your style. ------- UP NEXT: Survivor Series 1997

IYH:Ground Zero
Bret vs Patriot.
good match BUT the Patriot tapping out whilst the crowd was bellowing USA was absolute shiite booking.also the post match beatdown was over the top as well.
HBK vs Undertaker
I would really LOVE a Patriot figure.

I'm trying to keep these breakdowns short & spoiler free
Survivor Series 1997: Ladies and Gentlemen, what we have here is a failure to communicate...
Best Match of the Night: Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels- I'm not going to mention the finish, because that's been beaten to death. I'm going to talk about the match before it, which was pretty damn good. This I think really began the Attitude Era as far as what took place in the main event. This had everything commonplace with what we would see months later- A ridiculously hot crowd, in-crowd fighting, fighting around the ring, up the stage, ref bump, everything. Its a shame the finish dampers what I thought was the best match these two ever had with each other.
Worst Match of the Night:Truth Commission vs. D.O.A. Nothing to talk about because I forgot about it 2 minutes after it happened.
Highlights: - Road Dogg and Billy Gunn: These two were hilarious, especially Road Dogg. The Canadian crowd came up with a new chant for Gunn, which I thought was interesting of "Fa**ot". This prompted Road Dogg to get caught on camera saying "You are not a fa**ot!" - Kane vs. Mankind: Brutal match with several cool moments in it. The mood lighting was a killer, bu the match was still good - Austin vs. Owen: Really surprisingly short, but it was good while it lasted. I liked the pile driver fake outs and the finishing sequence.
Low Points: - Team Canada vs. Team USA: This was a little too long and just did not click at all. Team Canada also had 1 legitimate Canadian. Team USA had a freshly debuted Steve Blackman, Mero, Vader and a black face painted Goldust. - Nation of Domination vs. LOD/Shamrock/Johnson: Too long and nothing interesting happened besides Hawk lasting about 2 minutes.
Middle of the Road: -New Age Outlaws/Godwinns vs. Headbangers/Blackjacks. Barely recognized Windham here. This I thought was good for what it was, an opener, but nothing stood out besides the Outlaws being ridiculous.
Show Note: It is interesting. This show, and most WWF shows, got better as they went on towards the hot main event. Whereas the WCW shows tended to die down after the first few matches. Nobody could follow the Cruiserweights.
Rating: 5/10. This show is only remembered for HBK/Bret. Had it gone off with the original finish, the show probably wouldn't be talked about today. The match itself though was really good, which drove up the score with me. Kane/Mankind and Austin/Owen were also good and important looking back. Otherwise, this show is entirely a disappointment and totally skippable.

Flair vs Taker at Mania x8. If it wasn't for the botched finish, it would've been a great match.

Watching In Your House: Revenge Of The Taker. Just starting it. Will try to give my thoughts on it later. Both Taker Vs Mankind and Bret Vs Austin really delivered here. Mankind going through that table head first may be one of my favorite spots ever.
