I could basically use my description of the Gangrel/Scott Taylor match from
Sunday Night here again except it was Brian Christopher. Either way, it was
cool entrance, a member of Too Much and a supreme suplex DDT.
I'm filling in for Ollie this week as he puts the final touches on his PHD (That's Pimps and Hoes Degree something that I only have a bachelor's in.)
Bart Gunn vs. The Godfather was what I like about the Brawl For All. Two guys
beating the almighty piss out of each other. There was a limit to the amount
of goofy take-downs that everyone fails miserably on so the action stayed
constant throughout the rounds. Oh yeah, this was fixed. Just like they are
going to have to fix the Godfather's jaw after Gunn broke it. This is also an
example why I pay no attention to ratings. Because while the Warrior was
reading selected passages from the Warren Commission, the slugfest was on too.
Let's see. Incoherent rambling or an actual fight. You tell me which one you
would pick.

Al Snow and The Head were on my TV which meant that a whole lot of other
people weren't so this definitely worked. Plus, Snow got a promo and it was
funny and the WWF is about to get a great wrestler back.
It is going to take a lot to knock any wrestling thing that Kaientai does
into the what didn't work category. The guantlet match was not that thing. I
really can't hate Venis/Steel because he is willing to work to improve
himself. He has spent time in Mexico and Japan getting his ass handed to him
to become better. I have no problem with that. The booking on this was a
little bit of a surprise which was nice. I've heard people complaining
"Fucking WWF. Jobbing out Kaientai out to Venis." In this match it worked for
one reason. VENIS DIDN'T RUN THE GAUNTLET. He lost to Taka. He lost clean to
Taka. I can't remember the last time that a match with this type of situation
didn't have the face beating everyone. You knew it had to go to the last guy.
That's the way these things happen. One of the matches had to be real quick as
was the case with Funaki which is fine because he is my least favorite of the
ultra-SWANK quartet (he's still better than everyone else.) Mr. Michinoku gets
in a nifty plancha and MD#2. All he needs to do is eliminate the tank-top and
shorts he is now wearing that scream "Look! I'm 75 pounds."
The God-Awful Bill Clinton crap. I don't care about what is really happening
so I don't want it invading my wrestling. And if you want to do it right, get
Rob Bartlett next time.
Well DX and the Nation try to have a come-as-you-are match and was this ever
not good. A cookie sheet doesn't hurt (ask Phil who was hit with one for an
hour.) You introduce a ladder, do really mediocre spots with it, then miss the
pinfall. Add in Jeff Jarrett and you have a recipe for disaster.
Hey look it's Sable and Jackie. Twice. Sweet merciful Lord, what have I done
to anger thee? Is it because I snicker and mumble skanky ho when I see them?
Is it because I mock their low IQ's and surgically enhanced figures? Is it
because I hate Dustin Runnels? Why Lord? Why?
Speaking of Dustin Runnels, I wonder if he has ever read Oliver Twist or
Ivanhoe? Perhaps Curious George or Dick and Jane? Is sure as hell wasn't How
To Have A Salad.
There once was this mythical place back in 1995 and early '96 where all these
really great wrestlers used to reside. Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie
Guerrero, Chris Jericho. Soon these four great warriors went down South to met
greater challenges head on. One warrior remained. Well Scorpio, you're not in
South Philadelphia anymore. There is a match that involves both members of DOA
and Faarooq, yet you are the one who does the job. Step back and examine that
picture.
Hey Tiger Ali Singh! Wanna know why Ted Dibase was so over when he was doing
this gimmick? CAUSE HE WAS A FUCKING GREAT WRESTLER!!!!!!! Get the hell off my
TV.
Close your eyes. Imagine Steve Austin, the Undertaker, Kane, and Vince
McMahon. Now think of the words "ass, son of a bitch, brother, don't trust
anyone, conspiracy" The picture you get is what happened on Raw and is what is
going to happen for the next two weeks on Raw all the way until THE SUMMERSLAM
(TM Bret Hart).
