GOOD, BAD AND UGLY FOR FEBRUARY 14, 2000

Hello and hello and hello and a Happy Valentines Day to all my wonderfulicious readers out there. Michaelangelo here with yet another in the seemingly never-ending installments of wrestling's only online minute-by-minute stream-of-consciousness commentary, The Good, Bad, and Ugly. Remember, I don't recap, I pick apart piece by piece.

I'm sure none of you are wondering what happened to my other weekly foray, The Expansion Column. Well, although I had tons of letters to populate it, I discovered that cranking out two columns a week became extremely taxing, and these days, my time is very limited. So, I decided to quietly retire it for now. Perhaps someday it will return, but until then, count on me printing a letter or two a week and responding to all others personally. My thanks to everyone who read it and responded to my Question of the Week. I appreciate it! 

Don't worry, the GBU isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so those of you who like it, count on seeing it here on [slash] Wrestling for a while, at least.

So, what's going on in the world of wrestling? We saw more injuries and rumors of folks asking for their release over in the world of WCW. Kevin Nash and DDP are now both sidelined with injuries and there is word that Kanyon is asking to be let go. Shane Douglas has officially severed his ties with the organization and has even gone as far as to become involved with a lawsuit against them. Things are not looking bright for Ted Turner's Rasslin' business.

Meanwhile, the WWF has become a powerful entity. In signing Malenko, Saturn, Guerrero, and Benoit, they have added an element to their roster that they were sorely lacking, depth. Now thy have entertainment, personality, and traditional wrestling skill in their corner. Most of the few remaining WCW mainstay fans have started to switch more frequently to USA on Monday nights to watch their own favorites get pushed to where they belong. I, for one, have little reason to even keep watching WCW, now that my man Benoit is gone. 

Sorry folks, if that makes me biased, so be it. I never said I'd always be objective. This column is about my personal opinion, and that's it.

So, anyway, moving on. Let's take a look at this week's King of Vague References. This week's winner is Shadowlongknife who managed to get three out of six right from last week. Here's his mail message:

From: Shadowlongknife
Subject: vague references in GBU 


1) I'll rochambeau you for it? That was a South Park episode...specifically the one w/ Super-Mega Barbra Streisand and Mecha Robert Smith...funny stuff...

2) turn into a giant cockroach? WOW...a Kafka reference in a wrestling report...who'd have thought it possible...not me, that's fer shure...

(incidentally...Daffnee in a schoolgirl outfit...now there's an image that'll fade on me all too soon, dammit...)

3) he has CHA-rasma...that's from the beginning of a David Lee Roth video...I believe it's "Just a Gigolo/I ain't got nobody"

4) It's like I'm on some sort of wonderful drug... Crud...I think I'm stumped..."Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"? no? Something from William Shatner's album? NO? dammit...nothing...left...to...guess...

5) Hey! We got kids eating food in this house! Would that be the classic film "The Great Outdoors"?

6) "I'm the father! I'm the father! No idea at all...maybe...nope...lost it...moving right along...

He properly identified the first three references. The others were:

4. "It's like I'm on some sort of wonderful drug." This is from the episode of The Simpsons where Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are taken from their parents by social services and placed in a foster home (The Flanders, next door). Marge utters the line when she walks into the house after a day at a spa with Homer.

5. "Hey! We got kids eating food in this house! " This one was vague, even for me. It is from Tim Allen's old stand up routine which is periodically shown on Comedy Central. He is referring to the ever present butt crack of the average appliance repairman. Tim is complaining that the fact that these guys can't seem to keep their pants above their waist could possibly be a health hazard for those around him.

6. "I'm the father! I'm the father!" This one, I am surprised that nobody got. This is from the film The Slums of Beverly Hills which has been on cable television with a vengeance this month. The line is uttered by both Alan Arkin and Carl Reiner. If you see this film is going to be aired, check it out, it's quite good.

Special recognition goes to Jeff "have clue--will travel" who also got three, but Shadow's mail got here just a little bit sooner. Try again!

If you want to try your hand at identifying the famous Vague References and get yourself a crown, look through the column and try to guess as many as you can. Send your entries to michaelangelo70@hotmail.com. Good luck!

Before we begin, I'd like to take time to mourn for a very special person who was taken from us this past week. No, not Charles Shultz or Tom Landry, I'm talking about Maude Flanders. I, for one, was greatly saddened by her passing and will try to carry on knowing that she is in a better place. Rest in peace, dear Maude.

Okay, enough of this gay banter, let's move on to:

The Good, Bad, and Ugly for February 14, 2000

WCW NITRO

GOOD: Decent booking. Stars versus stars. What a concept. What a country! America, I love it. (Start right in with a Vague Reference)

BAD: I bet there at least three matches with jobbers versus midcarders booked tonight.

BAD: Three of the four guys in the top two matches (Funk, Flair, and Hogan) are way over the hill and the fourth (Luger) is getting up there himself. Meanwhile, on Raw, the Rock fights Benoit. Okay, What's wrong with this picture? If I have to tell you...ugh...never mind.

BAD: Madden gets cut off by the opening logo. Still getting your sea legs, big man?

BAD: Recaps upon recaps. The same shit shown twice? What the hell? You need to go over by 20 minutes, but we have to look at the same clips from Monday and Wednesday that we just saw a minute ago?

GOOD: Making Hall and Nash faces. As long as they are going to get cheers, they are better off being good guys. 

BAD: The question is, jut how "good" can these two be? One is always drunk, the other is very lazy.

QUESTION: I thought that the NWO ditched the girls on Wednesday night? They're back?

OH: Jarrett is sending them off. 

GOOD: That action is a great way to get heel heat...and he got it in spades.

BAD: The NWO is reduced to Jarrett and the Harris boys? I don't care what they say, the NWO is D-E-A-D.

GOOD: Sign: Where's Silver King? Yeah! Where is he? La Parka too! Where are all the Luchadores?

GOOD: Nash's nurses. Wow. I love dark haired women...there's something just a bit evil there. 

BAD: Okay, Booker T. got arrested for assault, but the NWO is allowed to threaten to kill the ring announcer and security is nowhere to be seen? What the fuck kind of stupidity is this shit?

FUNNY: Nash in an electric wheelchair. If the chair propels itself, why does he need those nurses? Not that I am complaining or anything.

GOOD: Nash's crack about his foot fitting in Jarrett's ass. He may be lazy, but he sure is funny.

GREAT: Ironside 2000. I don't know why, but that struck me very funny.

GOOD: Three way dance at Superbrawl 2000. If these guys actually work, it might just be a worthwhile excursion.

BAD: How much you wanna bet Hogan versus Luger will be the main event?

GOOD: Jarrett versus Sid. Okay. I can live with that. I'll love it if there aren't any run-ins.

BAD: The odds of that:  A jillion to 1.

OVERKILL: A DDP biography? Every wrestler with a theme song is taking pen to paper these days. I hear Hogan's gonna write one. Flair will write one too, I bet.

WELL, OKAY: If Flair wrote one, I'd read it.

GOOD: Three count versus Lane, Idol, and Smiley. Six good workers. I could like this match.

GOOD: Miss Hancock...her legs go to eleven. (Easy Vague Reference)

WHAT? A pointless shot of Tank Abbott shadow boxing. Okay...is there a reason for this?

GOOD: Three count...I can't help but laugh when these guys come out. the lousy music, the hokey camera angles, it's all too perfect.

BAD: Where's Idol? Why isn't he wrestling?

UGLY: The first two minutes of this match. Sloppy as hell.

OWCH! Lane misses a suicide dive and lands right on his back! Holy shit! Even Shannon had to ask him if he was okay.

GOOD: The match picks up after that series of suicide dives.

HUH? What's with Miss Hancock's vague references to Lane and Idol?  

PONTIFICATION: I am guessing that she will soon repackage herself...again. Good idea, the power suit is no longer working.

GOOD: Miss Hancock starts dancing. Boy, if I could get a woman to dance for me like that...heh heh heh.

BAD: The camera is behind her. We can't really see.

ON SECOND THOUGHT, GOOD: The camera is behind her. We get a good look a the Golden Palace of the Himalayas! (Vague Reference)

BAD: We cut to commercial and Three Count is still out there.

GOOD: Tank out to KO the posers. I have never been happy to see him until right now.

BAD: Ric Fuller? Oh please. This match will be 20 seconds if it's a moment.

BAD: I was right.

GOOD: At least it was mercifully short.

GOOD: I will give Tank this, he is one tough sonofabitch. I just wish he'd wrestle instead of punch.

BAD: A "Skins match"? Another "something on a pole" gimmick bout? Who fucking cares?

WHOOOOO! the Nitro Girls are back! Better yet, CHAE is back! Yeah! Yeah! Happy Days are here again!

BAD: The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea is still around? Ugh.

GOOD: Torrie wearing nearly nothing...yowza. 

INTERESTING: Is it me or is Nitro "hottie heavy" tonight?

GOOD: Kidman and Vampiro on the same team. Very cool. Vamp gets a good pop, too!

GOOD: La Parka is out! Whoo! There's one of the two guys I was asking for earlier. 

BAD: He's partnering with Princey. Paisley is hot and all, but I just hate this guy.

BAD: The Prince and La Parka make bad partners from a strategic standpoint...isn't there a language barrier there?

GOOD: I missed La Parka's little dance. Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Hoooo!

LOUD: This match. Lots of thuds and slaps.

GOOD: Catfight!

BAD: It ended without so much as a panty flash!

BAD: At the start of this match, Madden talked up the ability of Kidman and said that he was one of the best workers in the company. Then, when Vamp walked out on Kidman, Madden says "I'm no fan of Kidman, but..." Make up your mind!

GOOD: The Italian wedding in the parking lot. Not because it makes sense, but because it's very accurate. Take it from me, I'm way Italian. That is exactly how it goes...well, without the parking lot thing...

BAD: Why didn't Johnny and Vito notice the party before? It was only ten feet behind them.

GOOD: Mona's back! Wow! This night has been pretty good up until now.

BAD: She should change her ring gear.

BAD: Fucking Okalahoma. Jesus Christ. Must we?

DIDJA EVER NOTICE: How similar the "OK" embroidered on Ferrara's shirt is to the WWF's logo design?

BAD: Tony spews, "So that's his plan!" when Oklahoma announces Madusa as the guest referee. What plan? What fucking plan?!?! What the fuck plan are you talking about? Let us in on it! Please!

BAD: Putting Madusa in as the ref is a mistake if Oklahoma wants to corral her power. YOu see, as officials, refs have more power than wrestlers do, don't they? They do in terms of kayfabe, and that's what this all is, isn't it?

UNSURE: The end of this match. I guess it makes some sort of sense. So this will spark a feud between Rhonda Singh and Madusa with Oklahoma on the side of Singh? Is that about right? 

FUNNY: The Italian grandmother telling Vito not to spit because it keeps ending up all over the crowd. I don't know, I suppose this should offend me, but I guess I just have too big a sense of humor about myself and my heritage. As long as they don't get insulting, I can laugh.

GOOD: Flair! Whoooooo! I hope he goes over Hogan...I really do.

BAD: Weren't they friends the last time they were in the ring together?

BAD: Flair steals Benoit's former catchphrase..."Silent but violent." Not a good idea. Just makes me remember that my favorite wrestler works for the competition. Besides, Flair is anything but silent!

BAD: Madden shilling "Shutter Speed." Yeah, like he actually saw it.

GOOD: Funk looks good for a guy his age.

BAD: He is a guy his age.

GOOD: The slam through the table. Pretty good spot.

BAD: Funk selling. He's twitching like a mackerel out of water. "That's just wrong!" (Vague Reference)

GOOD: Sid and Jarrett fighting for the US Title! Nice swerve. I like it.

GOOD: Nash asking for medicine and getting a mouth full of whipped cream. Notice, there is no cherry.

BAD: Sid's reaction to the TV monitor. Sometimes he plays the crazy act up a bit too much.

GOOD: Madden's comment about how he's never seen a wrestling-based wedding end with the cake being thrown in someone's face. It was dripping with sarcasm...he took the words right out of my mouth.

BAD: Are Daffney, Crowbar, and David Flair heels now?

QUESTION: Why is Harlem Heat a part of this match?

BAD: Disco calling the wedding a $70,000 affair. Not even close. A tent and some tarp? 

BAD: Daffney's incessant screaming is getting annoying.

WOW: I never noticed how...well endowed a woman Daf is.

GOOD: Dustin Rhodes versus Kanyon. Good match choice. I think I may like it.

BAD: These two have no reason to fight. 

BAD: Mean Gene calling New York "The Mecca of Wrestling."  Did he forget which company he works for?

GOOD: Bam Bam as the Hardcore Champion. Perhaps he can give that title some credibility.

BAD: I hate these matches which involve tons of crap planted in the ring. That's not hardcore, that's "hit the guy with a bunch of stuff." Not the same. Not at all.

BAD: The Wall is still wearing that suit. Sometime soon, I hope they change his ring attire. It's getting fucking ridiculous now. 

WORSE: How much yoou want to bet that, when they do change his ring attire, it will be much worse. He'll come out dressed in full Klingon battle armor complete with head prosthetics.

GOOD: Bigelow picks up the wall and drops him with the Greetings from Asbury Park! Impressive show of strength.

INTERESTING: Knobbs using his cast in a very "Bob Ortonesque" way.

QUESTION: What the hell is an Italian stretcher match? The wedding I recognized, this match, I don't.

GOOD: The Nitro Girls' heart outfits. Their attire seems to be getting smaller and smaller. "I think my pants are shrinking too." (Vague Reference)

GOOD: Rhodes catching Kanyon with a clothesline outside the ring! Wow! That was either a stiff ass shot or one hell of a sell by the ex-Mortis. I say a little of both.

BAD: The match is over way too soon. I looked away for a second and then Kanyon was being pinned! Shit.

GOOD: Hogan's interview. It brought back memories of when I actually liked the guy. Yes, he's old. Yes, he's a glory hound. Yes, he's about 10 steps slower than he should be. The fact is, I rooted for him 15 years ago and sometimes it's good to feel that way again.

BAD: The Demon. This poor sucker. All this shit during the entrance and he will probably just job inside of two minutes. They should call him the "Contract Requirement from Hell."

BAD: The chyron says "Booker" but the ring announcer calls "Booker T." Uh oh, who gets sued?

ARGH! Booker actually performed a sidewalk slam and Tony does not call it! He refers to it as a slam, Harlem style. What the fuck!?!? Asshole! He calls everthing a sidewalk slam except the real thing!

INTERESTING: They flew Buffer out to announce the main event. They have high hopes for this bout, don't they?

FUNNY: As Hogan climbed the steps to get in the ring he paused, for a second, you could see him and a sign that read, "Hogan, please retire." Whoops!

BAD: Seeing these two guys in the ring together, it's akin to the Easter about 10 years ago when my grandfathers got into a scrape over who got the last chocolate egg. It was equally as messy looking.

UGLY: Hogan has wrinkles on the back of his head! He looks like a reverse Klingon.

WOW: Two Klingon references in one report.

GOOD: Flair's old school attack on Hogan's leg before locking the figure four. Not terrible, not at all.

GOOD: Looks like Flair is scripting this match verbally himself. Okay, as long as he is in charge, I am comfortable.

BAD: Regardless of how long this match goes, there will be a run-in.

GREAT: Flair does the "flip over the turnbuckle, get clotheslined on the apron" spot! I never get sick of that.

BAD: A run-in screws the ending of this match. They hyped the SHIT out of it and did not deliver a pinfall. Sorry, but when you go to this much trouble and this much work to get behind a bout, you expect a 3 count at some point in the match. Fuck you Hogan and WCW.

GOOD: Luger gets the last laugh. Okay, I will give a little back.

BAD: Mean Gene's facial expression at the end of Sid's interview. Looked like he was trying to look scared and stifle laughter at the same time.

BAD: The Cat? Is this show ever going to end? Get the main event out here and lets get it over with! How did we ever tolerate the three hour show? Oh, yeah, Benoit was here then.

AWFUL: The Cat dancing and then the Maestro challenging him? What the hell is this shit? This follows Hogan/Flair? Jesus Christ. What an awful spot. I am speechless. Did someone put Bischoff back in charge when I wasn't looking?

BAD: The definitive lack of heat that Jarrett gets coming to the ring. The NWO dies again. Ugh. I guess they have officially destroyed any semblance of credibility those three letters have ever had.

I WONDER... if Jarrett is regretting his move to WCW now that things have fallen as low as they are. I bet Hogan blames him for all the problems that the company is going through now.

GOOD: This match. I can dig it. At least these two guys are somewhat young.

BAD: Ref bump and foreign object...there's a shocker. 

WORSE: Run-in by the Harris boys. Wow. Talk about recycled endings.

WORST: Another guitar shot. Ugh.

OVERALL: Well, the show itself wasn't too bad. There were some good spots here and there. Kanyon, Dustin Rhodes, Bam Bam, Kidman, Vampiro, Lane, LA Parka, 3 Count, Smiley, and Prince Iaukea all seemed to do pretty well. The Funk/Package match and the Hogan Flair matches were exactly what I expected them to be, substandard, boring attempts at older wrestlers to make one last grab at the glory. WCW still needs to totally revamp their roster. Phase out Hogan, Funk, Nash, and Hall (who did not make it to the show tonight). Put Flair in an administrative, on camera role. Focus on guys like Hart, Sting, Goldberg, and DDP when they get back. Make Sid a heel again. Leave Jarrett alone. Elevate guys like Bagwell, Kidman, Vampiro, Lane, Idol, and Smiley to upper midcard and eventually main event status. Whew. Never happen.

WWF RAW

GOOD: Start it off good, bring out the Radicals.

BAD: I hate that name.

GOOD: Benoit! Benoit! Benoit!

BAD: How much longer is the Helmsley-McMahon era going to last? Isn't it time that Vince got back on my TV?

GUESS: I bet he's waiting until Wrestlemania 2000. One thing's for sure, I am ordering that sucker.

GOOD: Stef's tirade to the crowd. She has all the mic skills of her dad and brother. I guess it runs in the family.

GOOD: The booking of the night. Every match has a story attached to it. I love it.

GREAT: Benoit versus Rocky! YEAH! RAW rules! Whoo!

BAD: HHH can be long winded sometimes. Just get to the point tonight, Hunter, I want to see these matches!!!

GOOD: Rikishi and Too Cool, Kane, and Rocky clear the ring! Whoo! This is the kind of shit I just mark out for! I love a bunch of good guys taking on a bunch of bad guys...and winning.

GOOD: Edge versus Jeff Hardy versus D-Von. Cool booking.

BAD: Did Lillian say that Jeff was accompanied by Jeff? What's that about? Did they decide to take the same names to avoid confusion?

BAD: How does a triple threat match determine the top ranked tag team? That makes no sense.

PREDICITON: I bet Edge and Jeff cause a problem with their friendship by getting in each others way during this match.

BAD: We already did that feud.

GOOD: I could stand more Edge/Christian versus the Hardys matches.

GOOD: This match, but it could have been better. Seemed a bit rushed and overbooked. It did, however, tell a good story and it got the Dudleys a tag team shot. Hopefully they'll win the belts.

I WAS RIGHT: There's the shove! Looks like Matt, Jeff, Christian, and Edge are no longer friends.

BAD: Not more Mae Young and Mark Henry, oh please, no.

INTERESTING: There's a guy who looks just like my friend Bill in the front row. I have to rewind the tape on this one.

AFTER THE REWIND: Holy Shit! My friends Pete, Kelly, and Bill who live in San Francisco are in the fucking front row! I knew I should have accepted their offer to come live with them!

BAD: Fucking Road Dogg is still playing the crowd like a face. Has he been ignoring me all this time? Jesse, tell the fans you hate them and you will be a heel, otherwise, turn back to a face and let me get some sleep!

GOOD: Brian Christopher is his opponent. I can do without the dancing, but he has proven to be a damn good competitor in the ring. If anyone can make James look good, he can.

GOOD: Road Dogg starts acting the heel once the in-ring antics start. I liked the spot where he mimics Grandmaster's dancing, only to be mimicked himself. this match tells a good story in the ring.

BAD: I sense a run in here.

GOOD: Pleasantly surprised! A clean pin for the Road Dogg! Wow. That's almost hard to fathom, a match won by a heel without any intereference.

BAD: Continued vignettes with Mae Young and Mark Henry. The thought of these two copulating is enough to ruin an already sucky Valentine's Day.

GOOD: California Ho's make it much easier to handle this shit.

JEALOUS: How the hell did Pete, Kelly, and Bill get front row seats to RAW? I am so envious!!!!

BAD: That short haired blonde ho is fugly. Yeuch.

GOOD: Blackman and Snow are a decent pairing. I actually enjoy these two together.

BAD: This match. Seems a waste of four decent workers.

HORRIBLY AWFUL: Mae Young slipping into something more comfortable. Egads.

GOOD: Kurt Angle as the European Champion. I think if anyone can bring heat to that title, it's him. 

GOOD: His anti-USA sentiment along with his shiny new belt really seems to jive.

I NEVER KNEW: Pete has a sign that says "Jericho is Jericho." I never knew they were fans. I am bowled over.

GOOD: Angle's challenge of Chris Jericho. It's an old school challenge.

WHOAH: Chyna looked HOT on Jay Leno.

I GET THE FEELING: Chyna will be the one to accept this challenge.

NOPE: It is Jericho. 

GOOD: "Kirk Angel" Jericho made a Vague Reference! (Name it!)

GOOD: Jericho taking it to Angle and Chyna mopping him up. Beautiful spot. 

BAD: How far are they planning to go with this Mae Young/Mark Henry garbage?

UGLY: Mae Young in lingerie. Please, please, let it go! I am with the King, ready to puke in my hat.

GREAT: Benoit versus Rock. It's not exactly a dream match, but I wouldn't miss this for the world.

AWESOME: Look at Benoit sell! The man is a master. I wish he was a face.

BAD: Nasty swinging neckbreaker by Rocky.

GOOD: This match. Great work by both men.

KUDOS: To Eddie Guerrero for taking a great bump in a sling!

YEAH! Benoit wins! Benoit wins! Benoit Wins! Who cares if there was interference!?!? Benoit wins! I can sleep happy tonight! I love Rocky, but sorry, Benoit is my all time favorite!

BAD: Please, don't taint the last match with more shit from Mae and Mark...uch, edible underwear.

GOOD: Mr. Ass versus Scotty Too Hotty. I expect a decent match here.

BAD: I never realized just how lame Scott's moustache is. I would daresay it is, in fact, cheezy.

GOOD: Scotty pulls out a victory over Mr. Ass.

BAD: Short match. I would not mind seeing more of these two going at it.

GOOD: Crash Holly versus Ese Rios. This should be a good match.

GOOD: Lita is hot. Yep.

BAD: I thought Crash was 400 pounds...that puts him way out of the weight class for light heavyweight.

GOOD: With the roster they have now, this Light Heavyweight Division could be really fantastic.

GREAT: Dueling huricanranas and then moonsaults! Lita's spots were incredible. Get her in the Women's Title race!

BAD: Holly's insistence that Crash is 400 pounds. God. There comes a time to let a gimmick go. Now may be that time.

YUM! Burger King brought back the Italian Chicken sandwich. Take it from me, this is the best non-beef thing you can get at any fast food restaurant.

GOOD: Mic work from Holly leading into his match with Tazz. 

BAD; King uses the term "smashmouth." Since Vince said it at that press conference, does that make it the new buzzword up there in WWF? Let me clue you guys in on something, it isn't.

BAD: Tazz looks so much smaller than he did in ECW...it must be the ring size or something. Maybe he was sent via Wonkavision.

BAD: DQ ending to a Holly match? Why can't he job clean?

BAD: We wait through three commercials to talk to Rocky and he just storms off?

GOOD: Rakishi Phatu...this dude is more over than anyone expected he'd ever be. Whoever is responsible for this is a genius.

BAD: If he goes over both Saturn and Malenko, I may just be pissed off.

GOOD: Decent match here. Can't complain. I wish that Saturn and Malenko had gotten a pinfall, but I'll take the moral (or immoral) victory.

GOOD: Paul Bearer does look like he lost weight. Thank goodness. I'd hate to see the guy die of a heart attack in the middle of the ring.

QUESTION: Have Kane and HHH ever been on the same side?

BAD: Kane versus HHH and X-Pac? Wasn't that Smackdown's main event?

AH: The Big Show is the partner. Pretty good swerve. Small swerve, but effective.

PREDICTION: This is no-DQ...and the Rock has a score to settle with Show.

BAD: This match. Seems an awful lot of punching and kicking and little else.

BAD: Rock could probably have been more effective on his run in if his music didn't play before he ran down to ringside.

GOOD: Decent ending. A bit overbooked but I was happy.

BAD: JR screaming that The Big Show won, King had to correct him.

OVERALL: Again, a decent show. The WWF roster is just bursting at the seams. They should kick RAW up to three hours...they sure as hell could handle it now! The Benoit/Rock match was great, as were the Too Cool/Outlaws pairings. I could do without the pointless Mae Young vingettes, but hey, that's what your eyelids are for, right? Just close em!

Well, folks, that's it for this week. Hope you enjoyed it.
