Aguila and Jerry's kid had a pretty good match because Aguila hit all
of his spots and both guys got to go on offense. The ending sucked but
at least Aguila got the win. As happy as I was to see Aguila hit
everything, most of it looked weak because he works and sells so loosely.
I'm looking forward to the light heavyweight announcement because it'll
probably mean the introduction of the real DX...Kantai! And I'll have
Dick Togo on my freaking TV screen! THEN Dean'll be BEGGING ME to do the
Raw report.
Steve Austin kicked my ass this week with his awesome presence
and delivery. The angle really built well to it's climax and Austin
trash talking the ancient security guard was the best. Vince McMahon
played his role just right and was the fashion plate of the night in
that inspired Boogie Nights wear.
Mike Tyson gave a taped interview which is always a good idea, and
it was still pretty weak but the nice video package helped push this
segment up a category.
Blackman & Shamrock vs. Faarooq and Rocky was ok in spots but there
was nothing else there and it had a DQ ending which always sucks.
HHH, Chyna and the taped Shawn Michaels interview didn't do anything
for me. It was competent and all but lacked any sort of spark, or
a unique angle to make it memorable.
Windham vs. the wrestling Hart was not bad but it was pretty slow
and there weren't any big moves and it had a lame countout finish
so, all in all, it didn't work.
The Undertaker haunting crap sucked but the lockerroom skit with the
clapping benches was funny in a this-is-not-wrestling way.
The Quebecers vs. Jack & Funk was pretty close to terrible, nostalgia
can't make this match any good a second time. The usually reliable
Pierre didn't hit any cool spots and Cactus Jack didn't show much
either. Jacques and Funk are not very good anymore.
Mero and Goldust had a nothing match as an excuse to give Sable a
makeunder. How could they have done that to the poor girl?
Hey, HHH didn't wrestle this week, and why should he? Not only does
no one in DX lay down for anybody, they don't even break a sweat for
anybody. Steve Austin did his run-in, and Michaels was really there
and all, but it was pretty flat, nothing new, we'll see ya next week.
