Music, Politics, Flim, Books and TV all shall be reviewed within.

Main Feature Synopsis: I'm not going to hugely detial everything that's said in this show as that'd ruin the DVD completely but I'll give you a synposis of what the show is about and the high points and memorable quotes before reviewing the matches.



It's a round table discussion hosted by Jim Ross with Eric Bishcoff, Micheal Hayes, Jerry Lawler and Mick Foley. Jim Ross introductions are just insane fun. They discuss the biggest heat seekers in the business (those who cause trouble backstage and pissed people off). They start with Micheal Hayes himself, and Jerry tells a funny story about setting Hayes hair on fire. Great line: J.R "Did his hair look like Dog the bounty Hunter back then too".



They then move onto Lex Luger and begin dishing the dirt. Killer line: Jerry Lawler "Lex Luger would make a great wrestler because when he was a football all he did was hold". Hayes tries to argue that Lex Luger drew money. We then go to the final few moments Lex's match with Flair after he turned on the horsemen. The crowd are going absolutely mental, they blow a sport with Luger and Flair going over the top rope. Anyway Luger hulks up and puts Flair in the rack and the bell rings and the crowd are going mental chanting "Luger! Luger!" but it turns out that the ref stop the match on cuts.



Great Line: Michael Hayes: "You Stole him (luger) from us to start Nitro!!! and we thank you for that". Bischoff said that Luger treated people terribly.



Foley suggest that all those who were all heatseekers didn't have history in Wrestling and didn't want to be in wrestling, and had no respect for the business or felt embrassed to be in the business. Bishchoff said he offered Lex 20% of what he was earning before he left WCW originally hoping he'd reject it but he accepted it. Mick Foley likes Luger for two reasons, one he let him use his gym for free and two Luger had great matches with Flair and Steamboat.



They talk a bit about Goldberg, Mick tells his famous story from his book, Jerry said he thought he was a nice guy. Hayes thought he was a nice guy away from the business but because of the way WCW built him he never learnt the respect he should have. We then get clips from the Goldberg-Raven on Nitro, I remember this was one of my favorite matches when I was hunger I just thought this was mad fun. The clips hear look insane fun I hope its on the extras. We go back to Hayes and he says he wasn't a nice guy when he was around stars bigger than him. Bishchoff says he loves Goldberg as friend but he'd never work with him again. Great Line: Bishchoff "because he didn't understand the business, he was insanely paranoid". Consensus: Nice guy, to easily influenced by parasites.



Great Line: Jerry Lawler: "if you ain't got something nice to say about someone come and sit by me...let's talk about someone nobody likes PAUL HEYMAN", Mick Foley "I like Paul E", Lawler "Oh my god".



Another Great Line: J.R "Did you break his (Heyman) jaw on purpose", Jerry "I broke his jaw on purpose", Hayes "I bet you burnt my hair on purpose too"



Jerry tells a great story about about Paul Heyman, then Mick talks about Heyman and we have a really strange but funny moment when Hayes via Brian Gerwertz comfirm that Heyman called Foley a "whore". Great Line: Foley "Paul was a genius a nurturing and inspiring talent", Bischoff "So was reverend Jim Jones".



We then go to a clip of Paul Heyman cutting a promo about getting the first ECW PPV to air. This is a really good historic promo clip, god you can see what Mick and J.R were talking about its almost like a preacher speaking to a crazed cult, maybe Bishcoff was bang on with the "Jim Jones" comparision. Absolutely superb clip to choose it issolustrates there point so well.



J.R then reveals to the casual audience that ECW was taking money from WWE while burying them on the mic, who am I kidding no casual fans are watching this. Great Line: Mick Foley: "they didn't like Vince but they hated You (points at Bischoff)" Eric "You got yourself over at my expense".



The debate now turns to Scott Hall and the n.W.o. Bischoff says there's no one he hated to deal wiht more than Scott Hall. Bischoff tells another great story this time about Scott Hall and he describes Hall as a "nuclear" manic depressive. They then get into another arguement about Michael Hayes' hair again.



Mick Foley likes both Scott Hall and Vince Russo, Foley does a great impression of Scott Hall and talks about him looking down on the money, Foley says he'd turn down 400k now. Hall is another one who is a great guy, a good wrestler, and a creative mind.



Micheal Hayes starts smoking a cigar, they talk about Russo, Michael Hayes flat out asks J.R about the Oklahoma character, J.R. talks about all the people who he worked for he'd been terrible for but when his kids saw that Oklahoma character they lost their love for proffesional wrestling. We then go to the imfamous clip of Oklahmoa (Ed Ferrera) calling a lucha dore match on Nitro. The panel then ask if it was worse than what Vince McMahon did they show the anal operation clip, with Vince pulling J.R. head out of his arse. J.R. said the Oklahoma skit hurt worse because his kids couldn't understand why someone would be so mean.



Mick Foley says he falls out with Vince because with Vince anything is fair game, Foley says that wrestling doesn't have to be mean spirited it can be fun and friendly and still be satrical, he points to the Rosie O'Donnell skit.



Hayes then goes on to flat out ask Bischoff about the Arn Anderson parody, he's all up in Eric's face, he admits it was horrible, he says he didn't like Oklahoma because it had nothing to do with entertainment it was a personal attack. Bischoff says he regrets it and it was mean spirit, Eric says he was trying to be entertaining. Hayes says that Vince does all the humiliating stuff himself and he thinks that makes it okay. Bischoff said he did the humiliating things in WWE he did the embarsing things in WWE because he had made people to do the horrible things in WCW.



Hayes tells an awesome story about Mae Young and Moolah story. Mick then tells Bischoff why he has heat with me, but it turns out to be a really funny joke.



Overall Thoughts: That was undoubtably one of the best main features I've ever watched on a DVD the frank insight, storytelling and joking around was just fantastic only regret is that it only went an hour when you know they easily could have talked for three. Michael Hayes is the star of the show just for flat out asking the question you wanted to hear with no reservations.Fanastic stuff. (10/10)

Loser Leaves Town Match
The Midnight Express & Jim Cornette vs. The Oriental Express & Paul E Dangerously

Jim Cornette cuts an amazing promo before the match that is worth seeing the DVD alone for, he basically calls Paul E gay, Paul E cuts a good promo too but it can't really compare to the rage of Cornette.

Hayes has control and he hits a really nice flying closeline before going for the DDT but Luger falls backwards to counter, and Hayes again bails selling the back of head. Hayes storms through the ring and then around ring side getting in the crowds face some more. When Hayes returns to the ring Luger begins working over the arm with an arm wrench flipping Hayes to mat before slapping on an arm bar.

Luger is in control now, this director keeps showing the most pointless crowd shots, Luger manages to block a sunset flip with a big right hand. Luger follows right up with an arm drag and goes back to working over the arm.

We then have one of the worst ref bumps in human history, Hayes and Luger have a head to head collison, Terry Gordy pushes Hayes ontop of Luger and takes Luger's foot off the rope as Hayes gets the 1-2-3.

Well the finish was a bit of a dissapointment but was quite creative none the less. This was in Luger's prime, yes he had one, and he brought alot of energy but as always his body language and manurisms were horrible, he just doesn't know how to work a crowd. The wrestling was good throughout with Hayes playing his role well, too many chinlocks though. (**1/2)

United States Title
Goldberg vs. Scott Hall
.
The crowd are going nuts for Goldberg or the piped in chants are in full effect. Goldberg shoves Scott Hall down hard to a big pop, Hall responds with an arm wrench and shoulder thrusts but Goldberg manages to counter with a sloppy takedown leading t a stand off. Scott Hall calls for a test of strenght but suprises Goldberg with a stiff chop. Goldberg throws Scott into the ropes way too fast and they complete blow a spot.

.

Hall sells like he's discombobulated and turns right into a spear, Goldberg goes ballistic before nailing the Jackhammer for the 1-2-3.
.
Well Goldberg managed to blow a few spots even in a short space of time, fun nine minute match, Hall played his role well making Goldberg looks like a monster. This match was on the same night as his World Title match with Hogan. This was a reminder of just how hot WCW back in the day. Fun match. (*)
.
Scott Hall vs. Kevin Nash
.
Hall thows vodka in Nash's eyes to start the match and unloads with a series of stomps before taking Nash outside and formally introducing Nash to the guard rail, the ring post and the ringside microphone, what a gent. Hall decides to choke Nash with some cables until Nash fades. Hall then takes Nash and thows him into the guard rail before killing Nash with a big right hand. Hall returns to the ring and plays to the crowd, telling Nash to suck it.
.
Hall gets on the mic "Hey Yo, Hey Big Sexy look at you now?" Hall asks him how the world looks through foggy eyes, Hall says he won't listen to Nash and tells him to go to the back. Hall unloads on Nash with some huge right hands and Hall continues to mock Nash in between punches. Hall even does his drunken stumble, the crowd chant "Wolfpac" but Hall hits a body slam to silence them. Hall says its over and goes for the Outsider's Edge but Nash throws him hard accross the ring.
.
Nash shoves Hall away as he attempts a ten punch and then tells Nash to bring it on. The commentators figure out that Nash isn't fighting back.

The two men brawl on their knees, Scott gets the best of it with his big right hands. Nash fires back iwht a big knee to the gut and then a couple of big forearm shivers before going for the Jacknife but Hall scrambles and bails to the outside.
.
Nash rips of his shirt and tells Hall to get back in the ring, he's clearly bleeding from the mouth. Hall returns to the ring and two men stare each other down. They lock up and Nash powers down Hall with ease, Hall gets an arm wrench and shoulder thrusts before bitch slapping Nash. This pisses of Big Sexy and he unloads with a short arm closeline. Nash hits a series of forearm stries to the back. Hall tries to fight back but Nash kills him with a big closeline and follows it up with a rope rider. Nash follows up immediately with another rope rider and the referee has to ask Hall if he wants to continue.
.
Nash then proceeds to lay in the big knees in the corner, Nash hits his picture frame elbow strikes and the pace has slowed to a snails pace. Nash asks Hall if he'd like another drink and hits a knee strike then says how about I make it a double and he hits a pair of knees. Nash hits an elbow to the head and then a big right hand, Nash says "BAM" everytime he does a move. Hall tries to fight back but he's too weak and his punches are pathetic. Hall is out on his feet as Nash hits the big boot and the lowers the straps.
.
Hall staggers to his feet and Nash makes fun of Scott Hall before hitting a brutal Jacknife Powerbomb. Nash playes to the crowd and asks if they want to see one more, they erupt and Nash says I guess I'll make it a double. Nash plays to the crowd before hitting a second Jacknife powerbomb and telling Scott Hall to suck it. Nash then stands over Hall and tells him to suck it before walking t the back. The referee then counts out Nash while Hall lies motionless.
.
Well I'd of rather seen a balls to the wall match between the two but they were trying to tell the story of Nash beating some sense into Hall. The start and finish were both well executed and dramatic but the mid portion of the match was not so hot, especially with Nash on offence moving at a pace generously describe as "methodical". More of an extented Angle than a match. (**)
.
WCW World Heavyweight Title
Steel Cage Match
Vince Russo vs. Booker T
.
The commentators which to my count includes Jeremy Borash, Mike Tenay, Scott Hudson and Mark Madden talk up Vince Russo's 9-0 record before the match, if that doesn't tell everything you need to know about WCW in 1999 then nothing will. The lockeroom empties to watch the match, Booker T poses on the top rope and Russo sneak attacks Booker with a series of baseball bat shots to the back. Russo tries to run to the exit but the wrestlers at ringside won't let Russo escape.
.
Russo returns tot the ring and beats the crap out of Booker with the baseball bat before bringing a ladder into the ring. Mark Madden shouts "Vince Russo's back hurts too from carrying this company for months and months". Russo climbs the ladder and cuts a hole in the and tries to escape but all the wrestlers climb the cage to stop him and Sting repels from the rafters. Russo takes a tame bump from the top of the cell. Booker hits a horrible body slam and then removers Russo's head gear. Book then hits Russo with a Harlem side kick before putting Russo on his feet and bitch slapping Russo. The crowd chant "Russo Sucks" as Booker introduces Russo to the steel cage.
.
Booker continues to pound down on Russo in the corner until the referee pull Booker off and they argue in the corner. Lex Luger comes through the crowd and passes Russo a lead pipe through cage. Russo kills Booker with a lead pipe before taking out the referee. Russo hits all the refs and EMTs except for one who removes his hat to reveal Ric Flair, Russo is just horrible in the ring. Flair locks Russo in the figure four before high fiving Booker T. Russo's arm runs to ring side and all the wrestles brawl at ringside as Booker T hits the Scissor Kick and the spineroonie. Booker then nails Russo with a axe kick and gets on the microphone and tells Russo don't hate the player hate the game. Goldberg's music hits and he enters the cage, Scott Stiener attacks Booker and then suddenly as Book is about to exit Goldberg spears Russo through the cage. Vince Russo is your World champion!
.
Oh god if you don't understand why WCW went out of business theirs two shows you really need to watch, Starcade 97 when the blew Sting's title win and Bret Hart's debut at the height of their powers and this abomination with Vince Russo winning the world title in a horribly over booked Russofest. Well the David Arquette title win might be worse I suppose but who cares this is plain horrible but a historic moment worth watching. (-***)
.
Boxing Match
Buff Bagwell vs. Roddy Piper
Special Referee: Mills Lane
.
Piper unloads with some jabs before scoring with a big flurry of punches, Piper dares Bagwell to hit him and he does rocking Piper and Bagwell and Piper exchange girly flurries. Piper floors Bagwell with a big right hand. A fan shouts "Hey camera man get the hell out way". Bagwell unloads as the crowd chant "this match sucks". End of round one.
.
Piper gets a sneaky headbutt in at the end of the first round. Flair sprayed something on Piper's gloves and it blinds Bagwell and Piper absolutely unloads on Buff. Judy Bagwell sponges off Bagwell's eyes. Piper throws some of the worst punches in human history, Piper floors Buff with a big right, at the end of the round both men exchange two big flurries. End of Round Two.
.
Piper goes straight after Bagwell but Judy Bagwell bites Roddy Piper to stop the assualt and then nails Piper with a bucket. Bagwell nails Flair before hitting the blockbuster for the win.
.
This was so horrible, God what a waste of Flair. (-*)
.
Overall Thoughts: Well the matches aren't great but do give interesting insight into the WCW in particular, I mean who doesn't want Vince Russo's first world Title win on DVD right? There is some good stuff on the extras the Hall matches are fun, as is the Freebirds stuff and the Horseman matches was really really good for a short match, so it's definitely a fun set of extras.
.
The key to the DVD is the legends of wrestling roundtable that as I said before is intriguing, exciting, funny and never dull for a second, just sadly too short. So all in all for a tenner you get two and half hours consisting of a fascinating round table and some hit and miss but rarely dull bonus matches. (8/10)
