The Raw is War Workrate Report

A weekly look at what worked and didn't work on Raw is War by Oliver Postlethwaite

Monday, September 20, 1999

I didn't realize the Giants losing by 700 points was still going to bug me but it does. I guess it is because I am back to the days of having both my football teams stink like that flaming bag of poo on your doorstep. What is this? 1997?


What Worked
Tom Pritchard's hair. Good for you Tom. Don't let the 70's die.

Jericho vs. Billy Gunn was about as close to a true wrestling match as you were going to get on this evening. Gunn didn't stink up the joint and looked like he had been to wrestling school once or twice. Of course a large part of that had to do with Mr. Jericho. Curtis Hughes is a horrible wrestler of an unspeakable magnitude so I will take him just standing around causing wrestlers I hate to lose.

Who knows exactly went wrong with that pitcher to the face shot but it left Bossman with a bloody noggin and a rapidly swelling eye. And Traylor took it like a man and kept on working like the professional he is.


What Didn't Work
This week on As The McMahon's Turn, Vince drops the belt because he actually is Triple H's dad and Chyna is he's real daughter because the hospital switched babies and Vince got Stephanie by accident. Stephanie was furious because she discovered that Test was cheating on her with Steve Austin. This infuriated Debra whose day got even worse when she discovered that her OB/GYN, Glen, was actually a dentist wrestling under a mask posing as someone who got horribly burned as a child. Glen, the horrible burned wrestling dentist, finds out that he has an evil twin named Mark who claims he is from Arizona but has the world's heaviest Southern Drawl. Mark, after dropping his 745 pound half-brother, hired a couple of hitman who watched to much Skinny and Fatty when they were in elementary school. Meanwhile, Mick and Dwayne are two guys just trying to make a living but Dwayne can't seem to sake the various STDs that he seems to contract. Of course, he won't listen to little Mick, or his hand puppet, even though Mick is right when he tells Dwayne to stop sticking things sideways up his ass. Now trying to fade into the background are Mark and D'Lo, two brothers who the man (Vince) is keeping down. But finally the stress of the road and the inability to deal with an ever expanding waistline lead to Mark turning on D'Lo claiming that they are not brothers and D'Lo isn't listening to the teachings of Malcolm. D'Lo is desperate for revenge and waits for Mark's bachelor party at the titty bar. A fight breaks and many sets of hooters go running. Ivory and Luna can't believe that Mark and D'Lo would pay to see fake breasts when they could have stared at there's for free. But Luna made disparaging comments about Ivory's plastic suregon which lead to Ivory revealing that Luna's doctor had used silicone in her implants. Ivory then went one step further and popped one of Luna's implants and then laughed as she watched her wither away as the silicone destroyed her body from the inside. We are not done yet though. Marianna, doing her best Dirty White Girl imitation, accused Chaz of abusing her but we know that is the real handy work of a shadowy figure in the back. Oh yeah, and Pat Patterson is still taking it up the ass. Until next week.
