Supposedly intelligent Herb Kunze makes a good point about the psychology being on fast forward in the WWF. Christian vs. Edge was a great final three minutes of an 18 minute match. It was like watching a New Japan TV show where they sometimes show only the last few minutes of a match. Jarrett's picking up his work lately and Christian has a whole load of potential so this was a step in the right direction.
The Rock and the Mule had a middling heavyweight match but Maivia sold and the framework was consistent enough. I ran into Rocky's uncle on a lake last night (not literally). It was... weird.
"D-Lo Brown and Edge vs. Median and Gangrel was pretty freaking sound. D-Lo and Edge had chemistry with the crowd, etc." This is what I wrote about the match, planning to sit down and watch it again before really putting pen to paper, but it's 9:00 pm and I'm too late.
Steve Blackman is battling Bob Holly for the coolest midcard wrestler in the WWF (WCW has Norman Smiley and Fit Finley). And now he's borrowing a little magic from 8th degree black belt Mr. Pogo with the knives. Ladies and gentlemen, Steve Blackman has left the building.
This is your last chance to climb aboard the Holly train before it's called jumping on the bandwagon. Future world champion! Well, maybe after Crush.
Four years ago, the hint of Vince McMahon doing a major blade job would be grounds for mockery and humiliation. Today I'm so jaded that it's only pretty cool.
Road Dog and Chyna had another scintillating WWF dog collar match. If they can't put any thought into it, neither can I.
The four corners match was the WWF tag team division treading water. There was no point and nothing cool happened.
Scott Hudson was the best announcer on Monday night because Jim Ross is turning into a sack of shit.
Kevin Kelly - move your fucking arms!
