WCW Worldwide - Saturday, 4/10/99

By The Cubs Fan

• One Year Ago On Worldwide: Giant's match is shorter than Glacier's entrance, in different squashes. Glacier's Cryonic Kick is blown, of course. Disorderly Conduct wins a match. Psychosis beats Little Dragon, with Little Dragon blowing a move so bad, they had to use a crowd shot. British Bulldog drops a hint about a possible WCW Hart Foundation. Booker T talks about Chris Benoit. And, in the main event, Konnan beats Hugh Morrus for the thousandth time, but doesn't use the 187 DDT.

• The new WCW symbol is in the into...
• Back to Kidman/Rey winning the tag belts from the Horseman, on the 3/29 Nitro
  • They got the new Nitro logo going too...
  • Tony "A lot of times, we run out of things to say", but Larry's got stuff to say about the new tag team champs
  • And, while Larry's talking (and I zone him out, as usual), they cut to Tony watching, and almost mocking Larry.
  • Uh oh, the new heel Schiavone is coming over to the Worldwide universe...
• Mean Gene with Konnan
  • Konnan "The people, they be feeling me now..."
  • Konnan talks about his feud with Disco
  • Konnan "...Spring Stompede"
• Back to the 3/29 Nitro, as Flair, DDP and Hogan talk, and Sting watches...
  • Wow, the crowd is dead for DDP's entrance
  • Still doesn't seem like DDP "just got mad" at the crowd, more like a heel turn that was rethought.
• Spring Stompede PPV promo
• Hogan vs DDP from the 3/29 Nitro
  • I'm kinda tuning out the announcers, but Tony catches my attention by complimenting Hogan's work ethic.
• Their PPV Lineup

• Chip Minton vs Chavo Guerrero
  • Chavo's shaking hands tonight. Guess he won the coin toss; he's the face tonight.
  • Minton comes out and nearly gets lost in all the smoke. Where all that smoke come from?
  • Chavo with a headlock, into a hammerlock, rolls down to a cover, one-count
  • Minton complains about a hair pull.

  • Still a lot of smoke around the ring

  • Chavo grabs his head, Tornado DDT for 3.
  • Your Winner: Chavo Guerrero Jr.
  • Nice match. I liked how they set up the Tornado DDT
• Mean Gene with Chastity and Hak.
  • Gene "Always good to see you"
  • Chastity "Of course it is."
  • Hak talks some, hits him self with the Singapore cane
  • Chastity shoots off the fire extinguisher, and calls Bigelow "The Beast with the Least"
• Scott Norton vs Jason Anderson
  • Uh oh, they're saying that Scott Norton still thinks he's leader of the nWo. They also say everyone else thinks that, so maybe they'll forget about Norton still...
  • Jason Anderson, in his debut match, comes out second, after Norton.
  • Norton with headlock, off ropes, big shoulderblock
  • Norton, pushes Anderson into the corner and gives him some hard chops.
  • Norton with a cross corner whip, misses charge, Anderson with an arm bar.
  • Norton laughs it off, easily escapes, whips Anderson into the ropes, powerslam
  • Norton stalls, then misses a running elbowdrop
  • Anderson with elbows, no sold (of course), Norton with a whip, Samoan Drop.
  • Norton picks up Anderson, and knocks him down with a hard chop
  • Norton picks him up again and chops him into the neck
  • Norton with a rope choke.
  • Norton with a whip and misses a clothesline
  • Anderson misses a drop kick (maybe not on purpose), Norton no-sells anyway.
  • Anderson hits another dropkick, but it's still no-sold.
  • Norton with a clothesline, huge powerbomb. Three count.
  • Your Winner: Scott Norton
  • The powerbomb is the Wendy's Big Slam of the Show.
• Tony and Larry wrap it up with some talk about Spring Stampede
  • Tony "Where will Sting show up next? Will he be at Spring Stampede?"
  • Sure hope so, or people are going to be wanting their money back.
