Yeah, Big Ray is a solid worker, but i'll always (if not just) see the bad side in these WCW reviews.

I have some huge news, that brought in a array of new, great workers for the company. Though i'm going to keep it as a surprise until tomorrow. I'll just say that i did a good investment.

Shamrock would release his holds when it was clear that Henry would tap out and did not pin his foe during the entire match, as he didn't want to win; he wanted to punish him. Henry knew that he needed to regroup if he wanted to leave the arena on his feet, but when he had the chance to regroup, he shoved both Shamrock and the referee, provoking a intentional DQ loss in the process.</div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:right"><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em>Winner by DQ: Ken Shamrock</em></div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em> Rating: C</em></div></p></div><p></p><p></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/KenShamrock21_zpsc8a15ee9.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/KenShamrock21_zpsc8a15ee9.jpg</span></a><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/MarkHenry21_zps892478ba.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/MarkHenry21_zps892478ba.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/TheRock111_zps61ad4cd0.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/TheRock111_zps61ad4cd0.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/DLoBrown1_zpsd38dab11.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/DLoBrown1_zpsd38dab11.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/Kama3_zpscb94dc84.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/Kama3_zpscb94dc84.jpg</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> The crowd boos loudly after the end of the match, and it soon discovers that Henry's DQ loss was really intentional, as the Intercontinental Champion The Rock, D'Lo Brown and Kama Mustafa head down to the ring.

He says that he's in this crap because of that ass-crapper Sgt. Slaughter, and that Owen might be confident as hell because of these rocks that he's throwing at him, but the truth is: He may get a LOT of surprises. The mic is passed to Shawn Michaels, who talks about the events with Mike Tyson and his WrestleMania opponent, Steve Austin. Michaels says that he has nothing to do with Mike Tyson and could very well superkick the hell out of Austin to retain his belt alone at WrestleMania, but if Vince wants someone to babysit Austin, he's ok with it. He says that he's going to be watching Hunter's match from the locker room, and wishes his partner good luck.</div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:right"><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em>Rating: B</em></div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em> Notes: Chyna helped Hunter in this segment.

In a huge highlight, Chainsaw Charlie tried to save Cactus Jack, and the referee stopped him, but a fan wanted him to do so, as he hoisted a sign reading ''Cut him up, Charlie! BANG BANG!''. As he was distracted, Dogg low blowed Cactus and Gunn hit the Fame Asser for the cover, but even that couldn't win the match for the Tag Team Champions. The stakes were so high that the brawl eventually spilled to the ringside, and all four men were so bruised and battered, they couldn't re-enter the ring in time.

But then, when he went for the Pedigree, Owen threw him on the floor and locked in the Sharpshooter, and Hunterdust quickly tapped out to the hold after some moments.</div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:right"><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em>Winner: Owen Hart</em></div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em> Rating: B-</em></div></p></div><p></p><p></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:center"><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/OwenHart7_zps66dc1430.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/OwenHart7_zps66dc1430.jpg</span></a><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/ShawnMichaels161_zpsa953de98.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/ShawnMichaels161_zpsa953de98.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/TripleH101_zpsb2d1657c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/TripleH101_zpsb2d1657c.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/Chyna21_zpsd5fba0e4.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/Chyna21_zpsd5fba0e4.jpg</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> After the match, D-Generation X appears on the titantron, and Owen asks Triple H what the hell was that, and he didn't like the f***in' joke a bit.

Owen is furious, as is a fan with a sign reading ''You're a bastard....Triple H...you really, are, a heel, Your as evil as a eel n' your as strumpy as a drunk as an Mr. H!!!!!........I wouldn't touch with not even a 39 and a 1/2 foot OWEN HART!'', but everything is interrupted by the WWF's commissioner, Sgt.

Firstly, Owen Hart did NOT face Triple H, he faced a bad joke that does NOT count as Triple H. And as per the rules, had Triple H forfeited the match, he would LOSE the WWF European Championship. Triple H makes a little nervous face now, but Slaughter is not finished. Slaughter says that even with that, the match WAS for the WWF European Championship, and if Triple H really wants this joke to be funny, let's see if he finds the fact that he LOST the title to Owen Hart funny! The crowd cheers, Owen smiles and DX is livid, as Slaughter enters the ring to award Owen Hart with the European Championship. The two shake hands, and Owen Hart hoists the title very high for Triple H to see, and the crowd is rabid, as we fade to black.</div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:right"><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em><strong>Owen Hart is the NEW WWF European Champion</strong></em></div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em> Rating: B</em></div></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote>

Just a little heads-up.

Today i had my final class of the year (I live in Brazil, Summer starts on the next month here). Now, i'm free until February. This means that the shows are going to come even faster. My goal is to post No Way Out of Texas before Christmas. Let's see if i'm going to be able to do this.

I still didn't start writing this Raw is War. But then again, i'm going to book all the way to WrestleMania before i start writing more shows. There are lots of twists and turns on the remaining months of the Road to WrestleMania XIV. Let's wait and see what they are

Beejus · November 28, 2013

Oh, I am Down with the Brown, and the Can-Ams are really just displaced (i.e. they will never fit into an entertainment based fed). The match will no doubt be good. But the crowd won't care whatsoever

Comments About the Last Show:</p>

Wee Bob · December 7, 2013

<p><strong>Steve Blackman</strong> vs. Mabel</p><p>

Comment: Blackman was receiving a push of sorts at the time, thus I predict him for the win.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Cactus Jack</strong> vs. Road Warrior Hawk</p><p>

Comment: Road Warriors appear to be out of the title picture for now. In truth, they don't really fit in with the car crash TV format of the Attitude era, whereas Jack does.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>D'Lo Brown (w/Nation of Domination)</strong> vs. Phillip LaFon (w/Doug Furnas)</p><p>

Comment: I actually like the Can-Ams, but D'Lo has way more upside here. If not for the Droz accident, I think he could have been a solid upper midcard/main event guy for the WWF/E in real life. (Plus there's always the potential here for a little feud between the Can-Ams and the lower ranking members of The Nation...)</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Marc Mero (w/Sable)</strong> vs. Ahmed Johnson</p><p>

Comment: Only way I see an Ahmed victory is if Goldust and/or Luna distract Mero - or if Sable does something to distract him - or if the former and latter argue, which distracts him. Ahmed was charismatic and had a good look, but he was damaged goods at this point; both from being injury prone and the daft heel turn in '97. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Mosh (w/Thrasher)</strong> vs. Savio Vega (w/Los Boricuas)</p><p>

Comment: Real men wear skirts.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Kane</strong> vs. TAKA Michinoku</p><p>

Comment: This seems a bit odd; TAKA looks like he's being booked as your top babyface in the light heavyweight division, so having him squashed by Kane is...odd. Kane could have squashed anyone at this point. Sure, it doesn't necessarily hurt TAKA as it's to a top guy but...he's not exactly established at this point.</p><p> </p><p>

Comment: Chainsaw Charlie for the win! (Although I'd love it if it was Dude Love. Just because.)</p><p> </p><p>

LOL Russel, you upped this big time...as i said before, the reason the show hasn't been posted yet is that i lost the write-up and i'm lazy as hell now, if a friendly person hadn't turned my notebook off, we would be predicting for No Way Out of Texas now. I'll post a second diary (this ain't dead though; not in a million years; i have year-long plans and have booked through WrestleMania XIV) that i think that you guys will like too, right now.

Expect Raw is War to be up in 24-48 hours.

(Observation: Someone threw something in my notebook, because it's becoming a running gag that i lose my write-ups now. I lost the more detailed write up of the start of my 1992 diary that i'll post now twice and had to do a less detailed one...I need to keep my write-ups a little bit more secure.)

The Commissioner of the WWF, Sgt. Slaughter, says that tonight's show is going to be great for lots of reasons. He says that he's going to be there, and he's going to call Owen Hart and D-Generation X after the Main Event - to make not one, but TWO huge announcements for No Way Out of Texas, which is going to happen next week, live on Houston, Texas. And that's not only it - he's going to be announcing more matches for the event during the show. And there will be a new feature in all the events from here, effective at No Way Out of Texas: To heat up all of the crowds before their great PPV events that only the WWF can deliver, they will witness 1 hour of action at Sunday Night Shotgun! In all of the non-Pay-Per-View weeks, Shotgun will air at Saturdays like normal, but in weeks like the next one, it will happen just before the Pay-Per-View! And to inaugure it with class, its Main Event will be a Light Heavyweight Championship Match between TAKA Michinoku and a man who impresses the Commissioner at Shotgun this week, but there will be much more action at Sunday Night Shotgun and at the Pay-Per-View itself! And then, he hypes tonight's Raw is War, with Road Dogg having requested some air time for a open challenge on the Main Event!</div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:right"><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em>Rating: C-</em></div></p></div><p></p><p></p></div><div style="text-align:center"></div><div></div></blockquote><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/ShawnMichaels161_zpsa953de98.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/ShawnMichaels161_zpsa953de98.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/TripleH101_zpsb2d1657c.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/TripleH101_zpsb2d1657c.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/Chyna2_zps7415a55a.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/Chyna2_zps7415a55a.jpg</span></a></p><div style="text-align:center"></div><p></p><p></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> After the video, the cameras turn to the locker room of D-Generation X, with the three members of the group clearly angry. Triple H delivers a big rant against Commissioner Slaughter, saying that he could NOT have done that, but instead, he licked the balls of his golden boy and gave him a title he worked hard to win! He says that he would get his European Title back, in the good or in the bad way! He then turns to Shawn, who said that he heard what Slaughter said tonight - and he will be at the ring later. But he warns him to be careful what he wishes for - he will eventually get it.</div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:right"><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em>Rating: B+</em></div></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"></div><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/CactusJack3_zps3ebacf78.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/CactusJack3_zps3ebacf78.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/vs_zps44de2bff.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/vs_zps44de2bff.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/RoadWarriorHawk2_zps9f884000.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/RoadWarriorHawk2_zps9f884000.jpg</span></a></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px"><strong>Cactus Jack vs. Road Warrior Hawk</strong></div></p><p></p><p></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> Returning from a minor injury sustained at the hands of Mabel some days ago, one half of the Legion of Doom in Hawk was back to prove a point - that the LOD still belonged to the top of the WWF's tag team mountain. However, Cactus was trying to keep his and Chainsaw's spot of #1 Contendership towards The Outlaws, and so, neither man gives the other a easy challenge here. Fists, feets and bodies fly all over the arena during this match, and a Shoulder Block from the Road Warrior makes both men fall to the center of the ring.

Eventually, Cactus and Hawk recover from the attack, and help their partners against the Outlaws - before...turning to themselves! After some minutes, the brawl becomes a free-for-all brawl, instead of being against the Outlaws! Once again, fists, feets and bodies fly everywhere, and nobody, even a array of referees can stop it! These referees come in, just to be hit with some punches and kicks too by the six men! Then, someone screams ''STOP!'', and the attention turns to this person!</div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/SgtSlaughter41_zps59563bd1.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/SgtSlaughter41_zps59563bd1.jpg</span></a></p><div style="text-align:center"></div><p></p><p></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> It is Commissioner Slaughter, and even with his scream, neither men stops in the ring, with the brawl continuing! It only stops when Slaughter warns everyone that if they didn't stop, they will all be suspended and the Outlaws will be stripped of their Titles! The action then stops quickly, with the champions and Cactus & Chainsaw leaving the ring, while the LOD stays inside to hear the Commissioner. Slaughter says that he is sick and tired of this grudge between the six never ending like this and interfering in the WWF's business! He says that this WILL have a end soon, in some days at Houston in No Way Out of Texas! Gunn and Dogg are worried now, as Slaughter announces that at the event, The New Age Outlaws will defend the World Tag Team Titles against Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie (bringing a smile to the two)...AND against the Legion of Doom, in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match! Gunn and Dogg are angry now, and Gunn screams that Slaughter can't do this! Slaughter leaves with a cheering crowd behind him, and the Outlaw's opponents smile to them as they look worried and angry!</div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:right"><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em>Ratings: C+ (Wild Brawl), C- (Slaughter's announcement)</em></div></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"></div><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/SteveBlackman1_zpsbc57e321.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/SteveBlackman1_zpsbc57e321.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/vs_zps44de2bff.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/vs_zps44de2bff.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/Mabel3_zps41939e21.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/Mabel3_zps41939e21.jpg</span></a></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px"><strong>Steve Blackman vs. Mabel</strong></div></p><p></p><p></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> Steve Blackman is poised to make a point here, against the huge Mabel.

He enters the ring with a microphone, and tells Faarooq to better have something good to say, because this made him lose a very important photo op. Faarooq says that last week, he saved The Rock from Ken Shamrock because he simply wants to put him away...and Shamrock is on his way to do so. He explains that he doesn't respect Rock, he doesn't like him, and he can't stand him. He says that Rock has been making decision after decision without his supervision, and he wants to put a end to that! He says that The Rock is a part of his Nation, but everything that he has done since entering the group was question him, his LEADER! The Rock says that he would probably stop doing that, if Faarooq was actually a GOOD leader! Kama looks to Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown with a worried face, as Faarooq's face explains it all: he has exploded! He shoves Rocky, and Rocky is livid! He then answers by shoving Faarooq back! Faarooq falls, and Rocky tells him to ''f*** himself!''. Kama and D'Lo hold Rock away from Faarooq, while Henry uses his strength to try and keep his leader away from The Rock, which he does so, as Faarooq has nothing but fire on his eyes. Kama and D'Lo escort their fellow member to the locker room, as Mark tries to talk some sense into his leader, but it falls in deaf ears as he keeps trying to free himself from Henry's arms. Faarooq can't do so however, but the message has been sent by both men.</div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><div style="text-align:right"><p><div style="margin-left:25px"><em>Rating: B+</em></div></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"></div><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/MarcMero8_zpse03df55e.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/MarcMero8_zpse03df55e.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/vs_zps44de2bff.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/vs_zps44de2bff.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1313.photobucket.com/user/Smasher1311/media/WWF%201997/AhmedJohnson51_zps372bea6f.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t548/Smasher1311/WWF%201997/AhmedJohnson51_zps372bea6f.jpg</span></a></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px"><strong>Marc Mero vs. Ahmed Johnson</strong></div></p><p></p><p></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></p><p><div style="margin-left:25px"> Ahmed Johnson starts like a house of fire in this one, tackling the Marvelous One with everything he had.

I will be very quick with this guys. I will post Shotgun, Raw is War and Shotgun, and the NWOOT preview today in short write-ups (except for the preview maybe, if FP doesn't screw with me again), because firstly, i'm late and secondly, i'm going to travel tonight...sorry for the quickness and sorry if i annoy anyone with my warnings. This is NOT a shameless bump.

Thank you for reading if you did.

That's fine, I'm excited for NWO after the announcements you threw out in the final segment anyway!
