There were 12 WCW PPVs in 1999. You should check out Spring Stampede '99. It blew away anything WWE put on PPV. Other than that, it's a really miserable year.

Steamboat/Douglas Vs. Windham/Rhodes Steamboat/Douglas Vs. Windham/Pillman Steamboat/Douglas Vs. The Hollywood Blondes Jericho Vs. Pit Bull 2 Vs. Scorpion Vs. Douglas Shane's ECW work wasn't that great...but his feuds/opponents weren't exactly heaven-sent for snowflakes...Dreamer, Funk, Bigelow, Sabu, Pitbulls, etc. btw, above Are all ***+

From Fully Loaded 1999: WWF European Champion Mideon Vs. D'Lo Brown MATCH BACKGROUND: Mideon found the European Title, which his "Corporate Ministry" founder Shane McMahon abandoned, and began defending it. D'Lo Brown was a natural as one of the first challengers, given his history with the belt. THE MATCH: Slugfest to start, but D'Lo dominates and hits a big clothesline. D'Lo does "10 punches" in the corner and then clotheslines Mideon over the top rope. Baseball slide kicks Mideon to the ground, and D'Lo then hits a tope (suicide headfirst dive) through the ropes onto Mideon! Mideon reverses D'Lo irish Whip and sends Brown into the ring steps. D'Lo dropped chest first onto the guardrail and thrown into the ring. Mideon with sloppy clotheslines, and gets a 2 count. Gutwrench into a powerbomb gets Mideon 2. "You Shut the Hell Up! Go to Hell!" is yelled by Mideon to the dead crowd. Sloppy sleeper-type move grounds D'Lo. D'Lo's arm drops twice, but he fights back. Mideon blocks a clothesline with his forearms, and drops D'Lo with a neckbreaker. D'Lo shrugs off Mideon's punches, and chops the champion with his palm three times. Mideon regains control by shouldering D'Lo into the corner. Running sunset flip gets D'Lo 2, but Mideon kicks out and delivers a clothesline. D'Lo hits the WORST TORNADO DDT EVER on Mideon, and man, this is getting bad. It's also almost the exact same match as Edge/Jarrett from earlier in the show. D'Lo ducks a punch and hits the "Sky High" powerbomb. D'Lo with the posing legdrop. He climbs up and connects with the "Sky High" powerbomb to win his 3rd WWF European Title at 7:12. POST-MATCH: Brown holds the title belt high & proudly.

From WWF Fully Loaded 1999: WWE Intercontinental Champion Edge Vs. Jeff Jarrett (with Debra McMichael) MATCH BACKGROUND: Edge won the Intercontinental Title at a Toronto house show the day before. Footage of this (2 still photographs) are shown, with Edge winning the title from Jarrett via a spear. The Monday before on Raw, Jeff Jarrett received a "Bloodbath" from someone, not Edge. Edge made his way down and brawled with Jarrett. PRE-MATCH: Edge comes out through the crowd. Jarrett comes out with Debra, in her special "PPV" outfit (shiny thong, bra, and suitcoat). Jarrett calls himself "the greatest Intercontinental Champion of All Time" before the match. THE MATCH: Jarrett repeatedly takes Edge to the mat to start, but Edge keeps escaping. Half-nelson into a cradle gets Edge 2. Backslide gets Edge 2. Sunset flip off the second rope gets Edge 2. Jarrett runs to the floor, grabs IC Title, and goes to leave. "Puppies!" chant as Jarrett & Debra stall. Back in, and Jarrett pulls Edge to the floor, throwing him into the steps. Jarrett stomps the champion, inside the ring. Edge blocks Jarrett's punches and executed a Northern Lights Suplex for 2. Edge hurts his knee avoiding Jarrett in the corner, and Jarrett kicks it out from under him. Flair uses the bottom rope to jump on Edge's knee, "Flair-Style", twice. Jarrett attempts the Figure-Four, but Edge rolls him up from behind for 2...and then gets pushed shoulder-first into the ring post. Single Arm DDT by Jarrett. Jarrett straddles Edge hard into the second-rope and then does the "strut". Jeff then pulls Edge's arm against the second rope, working the shoulder. "nWo!" chant. Jarrett with a sleeper, but Edge runs him head-first into the top turnbuckle. Edge runs at Jarrett, but Jeff executes a flapjack for 2. Sleeper by Jarrett Crowd starts clapping, but Jarrett (still with the sleeper) holds Edge on the canvas. Arm drops twice...but Edge keeps it up on the third try. Edge shoots Jarrett into the ropes and executes his own sleeper, but Jarrett tries a back suplex, which Edge flips out of and rolls him up for 2. Modified sunset flip by Edge for 2. Jarrett sends Edge into the turnbuckle, but Edge falls head-first into Jarrett's crotch and both men are down. Edge gets a cover for 2. Edge with right hands, and then a leg lariat. Kick by Edge, followed by a swinging neakbreaker. Small package for 2 by Edge. Edge comes off the turnbuckles and hits Jarrett with a Tornado DDT. Edge "screams" and attempts a spear, but is thrown over the top rope by Jarrett. The "Bloodbath" music plays as Gangrel runs to ringside and attacks Edge, with the lights out. When the lights come on, Edge stands over Gangrel, who is knocked out. Jarrett attacks, rolls Edge in and hits a top-rope bodypress, which Edge rolls through to get 2. Jarrett tries a sunset flip, but Edge grabs the legs and gets 2. Jarrett tries a high dropkick, which Edge catches and hits a powerbomb for 2. SPEAR by Edge...Edge hurts the shoulder...and Debra has the attention of the referee and Edge. A right hand from Jarrett sends Edge into Debra, who falls to the floor. With the referee distracted by Jarrett, Gangrel climbs on the apron, grabs Edge by the head, and drops him neck-first onto the top rope. Jarrett executes the "Reverse Russian Legsweep" (aka The Stroke) to win his (then) record 5th WWF Intercontinental Title at the time of 13:23. AFTER-MATCH: WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, having been attacked by The Undertaker on Sunday Night HeAT, angrily runs to the ring and easily disposes of Jarrett with a "Stone Cold Stunner".

As much as I hate A-Train/Albert, I did have an interest in some of his matches when he had the Black T-Shirt/Black Leather pants look with X-Factor, as the "enforcer". He had a few decent bouts with Kane that were enjoyable. And I liked some of his high-impact stuff against the smaller workers that Credible/X-Pac would face (Hardys, Spike, Tajiri, Kidman). I believe that WWE has completely given up on Albert. They have saddled him with no gimmick, no TV time, and an awful appearence. They're just using him as a "big" looking JTTS.

A-Train is God Awful. He's had a few "decent" matches, with Benoit and one with Kane, years ago. Other than that, stop foolish yourself into believing he is a mobile, bump-taking "underrated" star. He'd been carried to marginally good stuff a few times. He doesn't make his opponents look better. He can't carry a match. He has an awful look. He has lame, generic mic skills. And he yells, a lot. = He sucks

For the newbies, The Hardy Boyz became Kane's 2nd and 3rd victims, I believe the day after Bad Blood '97, when he double-chokeslammed them and launched them out of the ring on Raw. They were plaid-tight wearing jobbers, at the time. They also made random appearences in between '93-97 on Raw/Syndi shows, as well.

That's like the first 4 shows.... Don't be a bitter Barry. They'll also get all the incredible X-Stuff. some swank X-Tag matches, and the beginning of Raven, Truth, and countless others pushes.

I could give two fucks about this "rumored" match. Angle and Eddie's characters are both lame and I already saw them go "all out" at WrestleMania. A rematch is stupid.

I prefer "Triple H is the Raw World Champion...because you all know he deserves it!" in Sept. 02 as the lamest loophole/decision ever.

Why would Orton be applauding Moolah? He gave her the RKO.

Sue Storm started out as the Invisible Girl...before growing up, marriage, child birth, etc. I'm guessing Alba fits (with BLONDE HAIR?? should be interesting) as the young Sue Storm.

Dazzler did not join the team during the Dark Phoenix Saga. That was around issue #129 of Uncanny X-Men. She joined the team wayyyy later around (or during) issue #260. Anyhoo, the storyline basically calls for a beautiful long-haired singing mutant to flirt with Cyclops. I won't spoil anything concerning the scene.

Good Test matches? Vs. Shane, SummerSlam '99 (haha, in hindsight, remember all the "Match of the Year!" arguments after the show?) Vs. Eddie at WM 17 wasn't bad. Don't include tag mans or certain 8-mans.

Tonight was Eugene Dinsmore's "initiation" to Evolution. Mark my words. SummerSlam won't come soon enough and Benoit JOBS THE TITLE in Canada.

Bret +1 Flair -1,000,000

Curious. I've seen all of these but 1, and obviously know the results of it. If you were to pickup these 4 movies, what wouldja watch first? Not asking for help, curious to your personal tastes. They were 5.99 each, buy 2, get 2 free. 1. WWE Unforgiven '99 (6-Pack Main Event...E & C Vs. Outlaws) 2. WCW Superbrawl 8 (1998...Hogan/Sting, Steiners, Guerrera unmasks, Booker T wrestles 2 clinics) 3. WCW Uncensored '99 (Flair/Hogan, Horsemen/Windham and Hennig, Saturn/Jericho) 4. WWE Breakdown (Sept. 98) Kane/Taker/Austin, Rock/Foley/Shamrock, Edge/Owen The triple cage of Shamrock/Rock/Foley *made* Rock that much more over, IMO. Never saw Booker's two big TV title bouts back to back. Personally, I'd go: Superbrawl 8, Breakdown, Uncensored, Unforgiven

Rip the hippie's hair out, Dave.

So who do we think Edge gets for SummerSlam? I figure he'll finally get the ovation WWE wants...unless he faces Jericho, which will never happen...

Orton's got the heat. Just needs to work on putting together better, longer matches. I totally dig his Raw work in 10-15 min. singles or 15-20 min. tags. But the PPV exposed him terribly, IMO.

Once Eugene turns heel at SummerSlam and reveals himself to be "normal", costing Benoit the title...all will be right with the miduppercard, cause we'll get mega heel Eugene and super face Benoit.

I will call the clothesline...the VANILLA KILLA....should it connect to Edge's pearly whites.

I was at Smackdown at Atlantic City (return of The Rock, Busta Rhymes) when D-Von and BATISTA destroyed Henry and RANDY ORTON.

I watched the PPV last night with about 5 Batista marks and 5 Y2J marks. The Batista marks thought the match blew, and admitted Batista pretty much dogged it. But still, he's jacked, has a badass look, and has cool shades, so I'll give him another 6 months. Call me JR, I guess.

have we come up with a clever name for Batista's Clothesline of Death...
