D-Lo Brown and Jeff Jarrett wrestled for like five seconds and no one
cared.
Who booked that? This was crap. This was one of the worst Raw's in modern Raw history. This was worse than the show where Undertaker and Kane killed everybody. How did the WWF let this happen? How could the creative genius Vince McMahon book the show so badly? Would it have killed them to put some Canadians in front of the crowd (yeah, yeah, Shotgun matches don't count)? The had better sweeten the sound up to 11 before this baby airs stateside. Real good thing Raw and Nitro weren't head2head. ObBlitzcrieg: Holy FUCK! ob70sShow: Watch it next week, the wrestling show was ok but it's usually better.
I really tried. I sat down every night this week and tried to whip this report into shape but I failed. That's right, I failed. I couldn't do it. I fully realize that this report is about as lame as the show was.
Honestly, nothing. Foley was good when he was on but he couldn't save a
single segment. Gillberg and Bluedust were campy fun but the blue bath
and subsequent pin drop were deadly. Sue me.
Steve Austin opened the show with one of those promos he does and the
WWF's mystique began to unravel all around him. Two minutes into hour
one 40,000 people were sitting on their hands and it all began to look
like bad house show. Get what? Mankind saved the segment from being a
total disaster.

Val Venis and the Shamrocks is played out.
I think I liked Gillberg best of all. At least Dustin did the job.
DX got some heat with their speech but this show was just plain bad.
Mankind vs. Steve Austin didn't fucking happen. Who booked this shit?
Viscera is a nightmare. Welcome to 1992!
X-Pac vs. Kane was maybe the best match, by default.
Al Snow moonsaulted himself through a table and then stunned the Skydome
into silence by brawling with Bob Holly. This was so sad.
Steve Blackman jobbed to The Rock's crappy elbow drop. Mick Foley gave an
awesome interview on Off the Record an hour before the show and made a
remark about how stupid it is for a wrestler to stay in character doing
that type of interview. Then the Rock came on next and stayed in character
the whole time (so he defined jabronie, big deal). I think Mick's the
coolest guy in the world. I think the Rock's a knob. Do I have to tell you
why?
Steve Austin ran the gauntlet so to speak against the corp. leading up
to McMahon pinning the number one babyface in the world right in the
middle of the ring and no one cared. Vince kept selling at 110% but no
one blinked. This was such a colossal bomb of an angle.
