Old recaps of main events/featured matches/major angle developments for this week:

 

1998 - couldn't find a recap

 

1999 - Scott Keith, RSPW Message Boards

 

Main event: Chris Benoit v. Ric Flair. Finally, 4 years in the

making. They trade chops to start, and Flair bails quickly. Back in

and Benoit hits the figure-four. Eyepokes and choking turn the tide for

Flair. Benoit comes back and they trade pinning attempts. Benoit with

a snap suplex for two and we do the double KO spot. Flair rolls over

for two. Sleeper-reveral spot (AAAARGH!) and we get another double KO.

Benoit continues the assualt, including reversing the figure-four for

two. Flair gets it for real, and Benoit powers out. Enzuigiri, but

Flair gets a rollup for two. We go through a series of pinning combos,

and Benoit hits the swandive for the pi...oh, wait, here comes Bigelow

and Page for the run-in DQ ending. Ugh, same as last week. I mean,

COME ON, Page I can understand not putting Chris over, but Ric Flair?

What's his excuse? Anyway, terrific match. ****

 

2000 - CRZ, slashwrestling.com

 

SUPERSTAR SCOTT STEINER (with his four - *two* hooches) runs the gauntlet - two new matches announced for Great American Bash - Lt. Loco meets Disco Inferno for the Cruiserweight title, while Kronic takes on the Mamalukes in a #1 Contenders' match for the tag team titles. Steiner will grace us with some mic time. "Eric Bischoff, you and I are no strangers, so you of all people should know not to get on my bad side. So if you want me to beat that New Blood ass, I'll beat that New Blood ass. But when it's all said and done, I'm comin' after you. Now Tank Abbott, I got one favour to ask of you at the Great American Bash. Just stick some front teeth in, (WHOOOOOOSH) so I have something to knock down your throat!" CRACKA EAZY E makes sure I get to hear the "NWO Monday Nitro" theme one more time as he comes out with the NEW BLOOD ORDER. CHRIS CANDIDO is sent off first. Bloc, right, block, right, right, into the ropes is reveresed, under, belly-to-belly overhead suplex, Nash watching on a monitor in the back, Candido put on top, belly-to-belly overhead superplex, cover, referee "Blind" Jamie Techer counts 1, 2, 3. (:28) As the count finishes, PERFECTSHAWN (Hey, anybody seen Curt Hennig lately? Remember him - the basis for this gimmick we're watching?) hits the ring and stomps away. Well, at least he got a BIT of offense. Head to the buckle, repeated rights, into the opposite corner, Steiner puts a boot up, belly-to-belly suplex, 1, 2, 3. (:54) THE EVENT CHUCK PALUMBO swings the Lex flexor - three times - clothesline with it. We check Nash - he's concerned - he's standing up (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) - he's...DRAMATIC!! No...he sits down. Midajah caught in a splash attempt (missed by the commentators, despite the fact that they're right in front of the ring) but before he can do something to her, Steiner Golotas him. Steiner Recliner. Palumbo gives it up. (1:30) Steiner can beat BOTH tag champs in ninety seconds, yet GI Bro and Captain Rection....oh my head hurts. NEW GODFATHER OF SOUL tries a scarf choke - Steiner 180's - belly-to-belly overhead suplex, Steiner Recliner. Cat won't give up as AWESOME MULLET clotheslines out of the corner. SHANE DOUGLAS with a snapmare. They both put him in the corner and wail away - again Nash stands up - he backs out...he's going to the ring - oh, no he's kabong'd by Jeff Jarrett. "See ya in Baltimore, Big Sexy!" Meanwhile, in the ring, Steiner has managed to turn the tide against Douglas and Awesome as Cat continues to act stunned in the corner. RICK WOOF WOOF & JOBBED TO DAVID ARQUETTE come in to join the fray as Techer decides to call for the million bells (relaxed DQ? 2:57) HAND OF STONE! Rick Steiner produces a straitjacket - see, 'cause it's the Asylum, and...whew. Abbott's got a body bag as well. Steiner is loaded into it...but the music fires up and COLD BEER trots...okay, jogs to the ring...the six members of the New Blood sextuple team Goldberg while Steiner and Abbott drag the body bag away. Goldberg does the always impressive "I pop up really quick and you all scatter in different directions" spot. Now it's Black Ninja attack style time! One by one everybody leaves the ring involuntarily. As Goldberg's music plays again, CRACKA EAZY E is back, leading out the COPS. "Oh, Billy!! Consider yourself under arrest! As the dozen cops advance, Goldberg stands in the ring...
