WCW Saturday Night - 01/24/98

We are a few hours away from Souled out as the show opens...
Let me start out by saying I hope Kevin Nash jobs at Souled Out because he skipped Starrcade, people out in Internet land say he had a heart attack and a whole buncha other stuff, but I think that he faked it and skipped.
There should be a match at Souled Out for the Heavyweight Championship, but there isn't
I have two different wrestling features out on the web (shameless promotion)

"Hell Hath No Fury, Like Sunday Bingo" - Easy E's Granny
"I'm E-Z-E I got b****s gamore, you may have a lotta b****s but I got much more" - the real Easy E
I was recently watching the WWF and as I sat watching I noticed a few things

All the wrestlers looked exactly like people that hung out in a local biker bar
I had no clue as to who most of these wrestlers are
The commentary really really was terrible in comparison to Tenay/Heenan/Tony S. even if Tony S. doesn't pay attention to matches and constantly messes up the facts
Vince McMahon's hair is JUST TOO AWFUL
then later on during that Stone Cold/Tyson segment

Austin looked totally immature imitating Bret Hart, then looked even more immature flipping Vince McMahon off.
I hope somebody from the FCC watches Raw sometime soon.
The whole angle is dumb. We all know in real life that Steve Austin is really a nice guy. We also know that in real life that Mike Tyson is a convicted felon, ex-con, and a real fighter. In a real fight Iron Mike Tyson would kill Nice Guy Steve Austin

Steve Mongo McMicheal was originally scheduled but Raven said he plays by his own rules so Steve said on the mic he plays by his own rules, too, and he has a guy backstage that wants to pluck his feathers. Beniot comes out and they fight then the flock comes out then McMicheal comes back out.... Raven and Saturn drag Chris backstage while McMicheal punks the entire flock sans Raven and Saturn in the ring
BIG Raven sucks chant

Neidhart says Flair lost a step, Bret Hart's the best and everything you've already heard. He says Bret will win at Souled Out
I agree

Jim Neidhart d. Wayne Bloom via Shoulder block from over the top rope from the outside

Mean Gene "have you seen the changes in Chris Jericho" Gene you geek, this is Rey Mystero not Ray Charles
Rey's English is great

Martel's a face's face
Respectful to Booker T Mean Gene points out that Booker T is basically a tag team wrestler - thanks, Mean Gene, I really wasn't sure about that know we all know

Replay of Martel / Flock incident .... another reporter said it was Kidman and Sickboy. nope, Kidman distracted by calling Martel a stooge then SATURN attacked throwing Martel threw the glass door..... Sick Boy wasn't anywhere around
Martel d. Johnny Attitude via BOSTON Crab

Attitude starts off great and throws Martel out then nails Martel with a bad baseball slide
Dusty and Schiavone spend the first half of the match referring to Johnny Attitude as Johnny Swinger. Seeing as the voiceover is taped later, you'd think they'd have enough courtesy to redo the voiceover.
Martel takes over and hits a spinebuster and turn it into a BOSTON crab
I'm thinking this ok.... Rick Martel - Face, Bret Hart - Face, Jim Neidhart - Face, And comming soon Davey Boy Smith - Face...... I think I see a new team comming up soon

Johnny in the ring and out comes Disco Inferno in street clothes
Tells Johnny on the mic nobody came here to see Johnny wrestle they came to see Disco dance and both the crowd and Dusty agree
Disco then nails Johnny with the chartbuster
Eddie out and nails Swinger with the frogsplash and the pin

The Cat looked like he could care less as Glacier praddled on about how they patched up there differences
Glacier went to high five The Cat and had to leave his hand up there for 5-10 seconds before The Cat just tapped it
Does anyone else see what's gonna happen?

Back and forth match nothing really notable
Dusty "I never was a golfer" Tony" I know"
Darsow's submission hold in no way shape or form hurts. Darsow left the hold on and the ref was calling for the bell, looks like nobody cares about Horowitz to come down and help him

Commerical for Souled Out about Larry Z./Scott Hall I have a theory about who is coming out with Larry even though I'm not going to be even close to being right, I think it's gonna be Syxx
Mortis/Wrath d. The Cat/Glacier via Powerbomb-neckbreaker combo on the Cat

Vandy hits Glacier on way to Ring while The Cat's busy in the ring
The Cat and Mortis start w/ a big "Glacier sucks" chant from the crowd
Mortis with a sweet move like Jannetty's showstopper except the leg was under the head instead of above
Miller is getting punked by both Wrath and Mortis......Quick tags and all kinds of powermoves
Among the moves The Cat is getting hit with are.... a backbreaker, Powerslam, A reverse Boston Crab from Wrath while Mortis hits a guillotine leg drop
The Cat gives Mortis a powerbomb
Glacier tagged in
Glacier kicks Miller beats up Miller then hits The Cat with a Cryonic Kick
Mortis/Wrath give The Cat a combo Powerbomb (from Wrath) and Neckbreaker (from Mortis)

I say just have a battle royal.... anyone that want in, gets in winner is champ and faces Hall at Superbrawl VIII

does the phrase Sunday Picnic drunken fight mean anything
crowd does the "woof woof woof woof woof"
Scott came out w/ Rick but went back
Norton hits a DDT the most technical move in the match
Rick takes over with Stenier lines
Buff Out , Rey Traylor out, Vincent is getting knocked out by Ted D., Konnan Out, Scott Stenier out, nWo runs off
Scott doesn't acknowledge anyone but the camera
