Also, Nexus was one in a long line of summer angles that starts to catch fire that the WWE almost always ends up fucking up. |

Wait, wait... it's coming back. Was this also when they did the JUAN Cena garbage to explain John Cena being taken off television? Please tell me that didn't last more than a week. |

Yeah, i don't *think* Juan Cena ever made it to TV, but I wasn't paying super close attention at the time either. |

I thought he was just doing announcer duty for a couple of weeks and then they kind of forgot about it. |

Just finished watching the '99 Survivor Series, and I still don't understand doing the title switch with Big Show, instead of Test. Yeah, Test was midcard for life in the long run, but he was a hot item at the time, and given the reign lasted all of 7 weeks, having Triple H cheat like mad, with Stephanie in his corner, could've sparked something. Instead, Test does nothing, drops to the midcard, forms a worthless team with Albert of all people just for the sake of a pun (T & A... har har), and the rest is history. |

I never thought of Test as a champ, but considering WWF was big on storylines at the time it would've worked. Heck, wasn't Road Dogg the IC champ shortly after this? All I can say is that there was still some prestige to the "WWF World" title at that time. They had just spent the entire summer building Triple H for the title and they had built Big Show since his arrival in February. Did Test get a shot at the title in early 2000, once Triple H had regained it? |

I want to say Test did get a couple of matches against Triple H and the rest of D-X in December/January, but then he suddenly dropped to the Hardcore Division, and finally the team with Albert. I wouldn't be completely against the Big Show, if not for the fact his angle at the time didn't need the title to be involved. It was personal. Boss Man was dicking with him for weeks, and making that the WWF Title Match at Armageddon meant nothing to either of them. Road Dogg's IC Title reign was around the time of WrestleMania XV. Only memorable because he was feuding over the Hardcore Title and won the IC Title, and billy Gunn, who was feuding over the IC Title, ended up with the Hardcore Title. If you asked me to name all the IC Title changes in 1999, I'd have to take a pass. |

Touched up on this watching the latest episode of Vintage Collection, but it's nice to see that the WWE production team talking about and making Warrior look like someone other than a piece of shit, like on the Self-Destruction set. Yes, he can be a bit crazy and really doesn't know when to shut up, ever, but he had a pretty large fan base, had some good matches, and overall I could think of many more people than him I'd rather not see again. |

Watched parts of WrestleMania 2 for reasons that escape me. I know a lot of people have complained about Bundy's title match involvement, but other than the argument "It wasn't WRESTLEMANIA yet", there wasn't any other top heels worth a damn... except for Roddy Piper, who was gradually becoming more popular, so having him get face reactions against Hogan would've been a bad move. |

Macho Man Savage was another heel worth a damn at the time |

I forgot Savage... weird. I don't know, a cage match would waste the potential (you need a decisive win), and he just won the IC Title. With a gimmick match main eventing New York, they needed a title there, too, that way each location had a championship match, even if George Steele was hardly a worthy contender. I'd much prefer a Santana/Savage rematch, since they worked dozens of shows in the months before and after WrestleMania. |

Picked up the 2011 Money in the Bank DVD, just for the Cena/Punk main event... well worth the $8. Other than a couple of slips from Punk (notably the AA spot), an absolute masterpiece. The sequence of cross body counter into the AA, countered into the GTS, to the STF and the Anaconda Vice had me marking out harder than I can remember in a long while. |

Watched/transferred my original PPV copy of WrestleMania VIII, yesterday. First time in about 10 years. I know I kinda' poo-poo'ed this show, earlier... but it's quite good. After watching it again, I'll agree that Flair/Macho is excellent. You can see that the WWF was trying to use the same formula they did for WM3. Liz looks absolutely gorgeous, too. Best she ever did, IMO. Better than 1997 with the blonde highlights and leather hot pants in her "nWo hottie" phase...or as "Jane" on the Halloween episode of SNME. Piper/Hart is still good, as is the build and atmosphere for Hulk/Sid. Too bad Hulk/Sid stunk so bad. The under-card is basic paint-by-numbers stuff, with bad marks going to the finishes for Jake/Taker and Disasters/Money, Inc. But the three surprise appearances by the LOD, Luger and Warrior make up for it. No, Rocco was nowhere to be found with the LOD at this point. Their promo with Paul Ellering starts off well, then kinda' drifts....off... and loses momentum. Big thing for me was that I remembered how I felt watching this show. It was my 18th birthday party and high school graduation was looming. One final time for us to get together and watch the silliness of the WWF. It was perfect that this was billed as "what MIGHT be Hulk Hogan's final match". We would get together in the fall to watch "Headbanger's Ball", but things were never the same. I had forgotten that this was a fairly noticeable landmark of my youth. I can look back at say: "that was probably the last time I was a kid". That's key--- if a show can take you back and you can remember how you felt as things were "live". All the angles, who I cheered for, and some of the jokes we shared about the show. |

Watched "Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion of the World", on Netflix, last night. Andy Kaufman may have been one of the oddest dudes to ever live. But this little mini-movie is complete crap. It shows the actual footage of Kaufman's complete matches. About 60 minutes worth. Most from a nightclub in Detroit, but a few from Memphis as well. So it's an hour of low-quality footage of a guy in long underwear scrambling over a dumpy broad in sweats. Interviews from Kaufman are included; but he says the same exact thing in every one. Absolutely nothing with Jerry Lawler is covered. The only "fresh" content is some home video footage of Bob Zmuda talking about Andy, circa 2008; where he basically tells everyone that Andy was a pervert. It's not funny. Just total garbage. Avoid at all costs. But it did get me thinking about Kaufman on SNL and led me to watch the first-ever episode of that. George Carlin, Janis Ian, the (awful) Muppets. So there was some redemption. |
