Vince Russo brought the whole gang down South with him, including Jim Ross. Say what? Well, there he was, bringing out Dr. Death Steve Williams and joining the announce team.

Actually, it was Ed Ferrara, the other half of the Powers That Be. I thought those guys weren't supposed to appear on camera. Here we go again. The bookers book themselves over. Enough already.

Yes, they're going down. Down where? Not "down there" as Scott Hall would say. Down South as in taste.

Ferrara was funny until he mocked JR's very real Bell's palsy. I normally write about the funny stuff but I'm going to rant for a minute. That was the lowest thing I have ever seen in professional wrestling. It is NEVER funny to mock someone for having an illness. I know about that personally. I am an asthmatic and had to endure the taunts of "asthma boy" all through my childhood. And because I was frail. Well, I grew into a 6-1, 230 pound weight lifting fanatic and none of those jabronis have anything to say to me now. Wise choice on their part. What they did was just plain disgusting.

By the way, did anyone think Dr. Death was just going to stand there and watch the luchadores? I didn't either.

That wasn't the only crap coming from the announce table. Tony Schiavone had the nerve to trash what he calls Internet marks and then included Shane Douglas in that criticism. At least Douglas, one of the best talkers in the business, made Schiavone look like an idiot. They should keep Douglas at the announce table while he recovers from a torn biceps. I was down on Douglas when he first arrived in WCW but he has really come around in the last few months.

Now to the funny stuff, yeah!

I've got to believe that there is going to some kind of payoff for Jim Duggan in the future. He is absolutely a riot as a janitor. He is getting a lot of TV time and I'm sure he'll be one of Hogan's recruits in the fight against the PTB. I hope that really does take place. I can see it now. Hogan walks in just like Hall did to launch the nWo. He's in street clothes. He tells everybody his real name is Terry Bollea. Like we didn't know. Then he tells Russo to take all his gimmicks and shove them up his candy ass! OK, I stole that from the Rock. So what.

Lex Luger is really going over as a conniving, cowardly heel. The stuff with the flowers and then the Ex-Lax in the brownies was priceless. What makes it funny is to see a guy with a body like Luger acting in that fashion. At the same time, Sting is being moved away from being a heel because he's in a program with Luger. That's fine. Sting is never going to get over as a heel. And it's the fans that decide that anyway.

Kevin Nash as Sid Vicious was hilarious, probably the best spoof Big Sexy has done yet. But I wonder where they are going with this. Sid got a lot of babyface heat in his match with Perry Saturn last week. I like Sid as a heel, powerbombing everyone.

Is there anything I can add about Torrie Wilson? I already said I would job to her any time. Perhaps they could put her in every segment of the show?

Curt Hennig looked superb against Bill Goldberg. It was a fun match to watch and Goldberg did a nice job selling for Hennig. I even like Hennig's angle where he has to avoid getting pinned to keep his spot. That was a nice touch with Hennig smacking the referee after the match and then Goldberg hitting his usual combo. Nobody lost any heat in this match.

Well, I can't call Berlyn's bodyguard the BWNN anymore. Now he's The Wall. Real cute.

How about that bump Rick Steiner took, a powerbomb through a stage courtesy of Sid! That looked awesome. Everybody sold it, too. But they almost dumped Steiner off the gurney as they loaded him into the ambulance. Then he might have really been hurt! It sounded to me like Schiavone was trying to sell a face turn for Steiner.

The Asya-Kimberly match was slapstick all the way. David Flair's run-in made this match. Asya did a nice side suplex on Flair. And she can bump, too, taking a vertical suplex from Flair that almost put her on top of Flair's crowbar. That would have smarted.

It's nice to see the push Chris Benoit is getting, especially forcing Hall to tap out! Interference by Bret Hart, Sid and Nash made this one a classic. Somehow the ref missed everything, including Sid powerbombing Hall. They MUST be blind.

Jeff Jarrett and Buff Bagwell were entertaining as usual. Jarrett going over was never a doubt. That was a nice guitar shot of the Harris twins took from Bagwell. The post-match run-in by Dustin Rhodes helped Bagwell keep his heat.

OK, are the Filthy Animals heels or faces? Billy Kidman was slapping palms all the way to the ring prior to the House of Pain match with the Revolution. Make up your mind, Russo. I loved that spike piledriver on Konnan and Asya blocking Rey Rey's broncobuster attempt with a clothesline. The beating the FA's took is helping the Revolution get over nicely as heels.

Meng's run-in during the Sting-Luger match was priceless. And kudos to Luger for selling the Tongan death grip like he was choking to death. Great stuff.

Nash and Sid was a classic for the laugh-o-meter. But Goldberg's double spear on Hall and Nash looked a little too contrived. This match could have used a Spanish announce table with which to powerbomb someone through. Why not? Russo is doing everything else the WWF does. Sid's no selling a powerslam from Goldberg looked cool.

At least I got to resume laughing after Ferrara's Fiasco. I just wonder what he's going to come up with next.
