Just sitting and wondering when and if WCW will EVER pull a 3.5 for
Nitro again. Heck, at this point a 3.0 is a lofty goal!
Not only was the Mae Young pregnancy angle not funny, but I also feel it
was offensive and demeaning to elderly people. I hope this crap ended with
the "hand birth." But unfortunately, I don't think Mark Henry can get over
without it, therefore they'll keep it going.
If ECW plays its cards right, I think Rhino would be an awesome World
Television Champion. Given the right opponents and stressing his
Goldberg-like dominance, the Rookie Monster's match with Rob Van Dam when
he eventually returns could pop a major buyrate.
Is it just me, or is Vampiro trying to do his best Raven impersonation
with his recent interview style? The dark setting, the brooding and
twisted language... Quoth Vampiro "Nevermore."
"Hell in a Cell" pretty much saved No Way Out from falling extremely
short of my expectations going in, that and Kurt Angle extending his hero
status as the Euro-Continental Champion!
You wanna know what's sad? Sometimes I think WCW Saturday Night is more
entertaining than Nitro or Thunder! Seeing the young guys from the Power
Plant working their butts off is nice to see. Unfortunately, guys like
Sonny Siaki and Chuck Palumbo will not see much time on Nitro or Thunder,
even though they're better than a good third of the current roster!
Could Shane Douglas bring another hardcore indy into the wrestling
forefront? Judging from the response to his debut shoot on a recent XPW
show in California, he has the chance to do for XPW what he did for
ECW. That's why they call him "The Franchise!"
I'm strongly considering dishing out the $50 for the 12-hour "WrestleMania
All-Day Long" offering. I'd be in Old-School Heaven!! I try to rent an old
WM or two when I'm home on breaks from school, so this would be great!
How in the hell is The Rock going to get the title shot at WrestleMania
2000? When is Vince McMahon coming back? Is Steve Austin going to make an
appearance? All these are questions I need answered before
WrestleMania.
That's all for now! I hope I don't wait another six months to update this
column again!!
