WCW Monday Nitro - Monday, 10/26/98

• Jeremy "PS" Henderson speaks on dis:

  I'd start by telling you how great your Nitro report is, but I start every email to you that way. Don't want to fall into a Konnan rut.

  Anyway, you made a mistake. Horace's real name isn't Horace Bollea, it's Mike Bollea. A friend of mine works out with him sometimes at a local gym, and says he's an incredibly nice guy (and, with any luck, he'll introduce me to Hogan and I'll be main eventing every PPV despite a complete lack of ring ability).

  Also, I noticed something odd: when Hogan first attacked Horace, Stevie Ray joined in by kicking the ex-Flocker in the head. But then a second later as Giant tried to pull Hogan away, Stevie Ray also tried to break the beating up. I think someone didn't read their script backstage.

  And one more thing: Chucky made an appearance on last week's Saturday Night Live as a special correspondent on Weekend Update. It was lame, but it was a mere suckdrop in an ocean of Suckicity compared to that embarassment last week. Maybe Buff will get Tickle Me Elmo to tag with him against Chucky and BPP.

  In response to Monday Nitro (10/19), I'm surprised you didn't even mention how Bischoff ragged on AA. I was suffocating in laughter when he called big Arn a Waffle House permanent resident. "His wife and kids will be eating grits and day old waffles"....it was so good.

  On that note, I'd like to say that the whole Bischoff angle is comic genius. It's in the same spirit of arrogance that made Andy Kaufman great. He's over the top, like Cobra Commander, but not in an overly cheesy sense, like prancing about in the "darkness" or drinking blood. The way he plays the audience is fantastic. Poetry in motion.

  And about the Rey Mysterio Jr. match...what was up with that? It was like watching a Heavy-Weight match with one or two complex moves every five or ten minutes. It just seemd to move so slow, without the intensity that it needed. It just seems like I remember Rey being a hell of a lot faster than that...is it the knee?

  Bischoff has been at his best during this Horseman angle, I think. He was stuck in a rather irrelevant role, not drawing much interest at all, but I think he's onto something here. The hatred he's getting from the fans when he attacks the Horsemen is quite good, and he seems to be willing to put himself in a lesser position for the greater good of the angle, which is heartening. I'll be interested to see how this turns out.

  As for Rey, I'm pretty sure his knee is still hurt, thus necessitating both the slower pace and a new finisher - he's using a top-rope Frankensteiner instead of the Springboard Hurricanrana now.

• Barry P. wonders:

  I know about Silver King, but should be fooled by Hector Garza's stocky physique? How about El Dandy? Or La Parka? Without Tenay, I don't know what to think!

  Ok, for future reference, I'll try to provide the following helpful clues:

  Be Fooled	Don't Be Fooled
  El Dandy	Silver King
  La Parka	Hector Garza
  Villano V	Villano IV
  Tony Schiavone	Yokozuna

  There'll be a quiz later.

• Mike shows us that the bookers work in mysterious ways...

  Just try to tell me WCW bookers aren't smart.

  PROBLEM 1 - People can't tell which luchadores are on which team
  SOLUTION - LWO comes with uniforms.

  PROBLEM 2 - Hard to build heat between two faces for a championship match
  SOLUTION - Jericho instigates both men... and has been instigating Goldberg for over a month now. Maybe just to set up this run-in (in addition to being really funny).

  PROBLEM 3 - Has been rambling psychopath in federation
  SOLUTION - Big ol' chokeslam

  As a side note, Wrath hit that flying shoulder block from a standing position. Wow.

• Lee Friedman notices:

  my bud and i can't believe you missed perhaps the funniest thing on Nitro when Kanyon got the mike before his match with Jobber Power Scott Putski, after his "Everybody...Nobody" exchange, he said the funniest thing:

  "...Hit Obi-Wan-Jabronie's music"

  then Putski cam out in (as you so elegantly refer to it) Steven Regal's old outfit

  oh...me and the guys i watch wrestling with are thinking about sending in a NITRO party where we watch Nitro and, during each match, discuss about 20 or so ways they could make the match interesting and/or the storyline better

  that never really interferes since Schiavone never talks about the matches either

  Damnit! I want to be Obi-Wan Jabrone!

  Hey, I go to Northwestern. At first, when I got here, I was a little gloomy, being away from home and all. That was until I went to eat.

  You see, I get milk everyday in the cafeteria. And what, you ask, is the brand name I see every day on the milk machine? None other than Silver King. So every time I go to replenish my body's calcium, I think of that dumpy luchadore with the rope font writing on his butt, and a little smile cracks across my face. Nevermind the guy next to me looking at me like I'm some kind of psycho. Thanks, Silver King, for making me happy.

  "Silver King - that's something my body needs anyway. I like that."

• Dan H. in New Jersey writes:

  Hey Wade, I was bored at work, like usual, and came up with this.

  Here are my top 10 Beatles songs which would make good entrance music for WCW personalities...

  • 10. "Nowhere Man" - Glacier (Gla-who?)
  • 9. "Yellow Submarine" - Alex Wright (I won't go there...)
  • 8. "We Can Work It Out" - Eric Bischoff/Ric Flair (C'mon, guys! Give peace a chance!)
  • 7. "Help!" - Psychosis (No one jobs like poor, poor Psychosis)
  • 6. "I am the Walrus" - Hulk Hogan (Man, with that yellow 'stache and receding hairline...)
  • 5. "Carry That Weight" - Steve McMichael (Two words for you Mongo...One is Slim, the other is Fast)
  • 4. "Honey Pie" - Spice (mmmmmmm, Spice)
  • 3. "Revolution" - Eddy Guerrero (LWO, not OwN! Viva la revolucion!)
  • 2. "When I'm 64" - Hulk Hogan (64 in about 2 months. Hey, he gets too much time on Nitro, and here too!)

  and the number one Beatles Song that would make for fitting entrance music is....

  • 1. "Yesterday" - Warrior/Disciple (I really did like both of these guys about 10-15 years ago...)

• Finally, in the interest of equal time to opposing viewpoints, we get this charming little rebuttal entitled "HULKSTERS HERO'S"

  WHERE OH WHERE HAS YOUR LITTLE HEAD GONE WHERE OH WHERE HAS IT GONE. GO TO HECK YOU ARSEHOLE

Also from the PPV center, I admit, I just couldn't bring myself to order Halloween Havoc last night. I was, however, pretty happy to see that they put the Hogan/Warrior match on BEFORE the World Title match. The cynic in me says that it's so Hogan could get his match in before 11pm(EST) hit and cable companies turned into pumpkins, but who knows?

I caught the last hour-and-a-half of the show on the internet broadcast, with Lee Marshall, Mark Madden, and Deli Boy, and was not impressed. They used the word "shoot" so much I thought I was listening to "DDP's Greatest Hits." Plus, they had the nerve to say that DDP/Goldberg was as good as matches like Flair/Steamboat, etc. Now, I admit that I didn't see the match, but it didn't look like one for the ages from the internet simulcast. Good? Yes. Entertaining? Yes. Classic? Nope.

• The Nitro Girls do a little dance.

• Tony needs to speak on dis:
• Tony talks about some cable systems cutting out on the PPV before the DDP/Goldberg match, and before the end of Hogan/Warrior.
• Tony says that WCW has decided to, around 9:00 pm, show Goldberg/DDP from Halloween Havoc for free.
• Tony says that "their competition" would have us believe that this was a ratings ploy, but it's not, so instead of holding the match until the end of the show, they'll show it at 9pm (EST).
• I forget, does anything else happen at 9:00 pm?
• Larry Zbyszko, though, refers to the infamous "Y2K" computer bug as the "KY-2" bug. D'oh!

• Kenny Kaos comes down. Anyone know where "Rodney Rage" has run off to?
• Kaos will be getting his ass handed to him by nWo member....
• Stevie Ray.

• Buff and Stevie deliver legdrops to Kaos.
• Rick Steiner, with his dog collar, chases the heels away.
• Rick helps Kaos to his feet, and gets a mic.
• Rick says he won the tag belts from Giant and his brother last night, and he needs a partner.
• Rick says people gave him a chance when he started, so he'll give Kaos a chance.
• Kaos says Rage is on the shelf with a bad shoulder, but he's idolized Rick for the last decade, so it'd be an honor to defend the tag straps with Rick tonight against the nWo!
• I'm probably the only one, but I kinda dig the Volts, so this is pretty cool. Jobber Twin powers, activate! Shape of, George South! Form of, "Iron" Mike Sharpe!

• Yes! Kanyon! Somebody's looking out for me!
• He's followed by Raven, who isn't wearing a shirt?
• His opponent - Prince Nackamackie.
• Kanyon interrupts the Prince's dance.
• Kanyon: "If this hot Arizona sun hasn't melted your teeny-weeny brain, then even you can get this question right. Who's better than Kanyon?"
• Crowd: "Everybody."
• Kanyon wigs out, and beats on the Prince.
• Kanyon with a shoulderblock, some posing, and then he gets an Iaukea dropkick in the mush.
• Springboard rollup from the Prince.
• Kanyon blocks a hiptoss with a swinging neckbreaker.
• The Prince hiptosses Kanyon over the top rope, but misses a springboard to the outside.

• Raven has the opportunity to interfere, but declines.
• Iaukea with a nice springboard senton.
• Kanyon reverses a backslide into the Flatliner, and gets the pin.

• I'm having the words "Mongo Turn" running through my head.....

• I'm a proud Virginian, but even I can't stand for redneck high school kids on tape.
• Speaking of W&M, since I just got back from homecoming, I'll deliver a pattented DDT Digest "shout out" to the brothers of Sigma Mu Sigma, especially wrestling fan "A.C. Leex."
