10/20/11
iMPACT! Wrestling Oct 20th 2011
IMPACT RANT Oct 20th 1998 Errrrrrrrrrrr... 2011
Show opens with a recap of the Bound for Glory match between Hogan and Sting.
Sting comes out in a Hogan T-Shirt and he also comes out without his Joker facepaint. He says that when he came back last year he had two goals. First goal was to get the company back for Dixie. The second goal was to get the real Hulk Hogan to come back to TNA. Sting says that in Hogan's defining moment , Hogan chose to come home. Enter Hogan in the vintage red and yellow.
Absolute Phenomenal reaction from the fans as they chant “Welcome Back”!!
Hogan says he's had a couple of rough years and was more of a leader then a follower. He blames everything on Bischoff. Sounds just like Hogan's life. Not taking responsibility for his own actions.
He says that Hulk Hogan is back, they exchange pleasantries and Hogan leaves. Pretty Pointless if you ask me. Basically an affirmation that Hogan is a good guy now. Completely unneeded segment.
Sting then asks Dixie Carter to come out. Mike Tenay tells us that the Sting/Dixie Carter reunion is next. I never realized that they were such a massive couple to begin with. I guess it's one of those things that TNA forgets to tell their viewers.
Vignette of The Best Of Jeff Hardy Vol. 2. Not Interested in a DVD of a pill popping trafficking bonehead.
The 20 minutes lovefest continues as Sting tells Dixie that he loves iMPACT Wrestling and he wouldn't change anything in the last 18 months. He says that Dixie will have to surround herself with honest people from this day forward because there is no room for error again. Dixie says thank you , and that she will never make the same mistake again. She decides that Sting is the best person to take over the day to day operations. Although Sting said he loves iMPACT Wrestling he seems reluctant to take the job. He finally says yes, and they embrace. Kurt Angle enters as we exit to commercial.
Back from commercial and Angle says that Dixie made him took like a jackass and that's why he joined immortal. He says that he's going to do what he does best, and that's represent the company as the champion. Angle states that he is the better man and he made Roode look weak when he beat him at BFG last Sunday. Bobby Roode comes out and says that if he's going to take that type of a win, he's pathetic. The fans start chanting re-match. Sting interrupts and tells both of them that they will wrestle tonight in a rematch. Angle states that he had Hogan and Bischoff put a clause in the contract that says Roode can only wrestle for the title once. So therefore the rematch is off. However, let's keep this 32 minute in ring segment going as James Storm enter the foray.
For those keeping track: Currently 32 Minutes of Talking.... 0 Minutes of Wrestling.
Back from commercial James Storm tells Kurt Angle that he screwed everyone at BFG, and when he screwed Bobby Roode, he screwed James Storm. Storm says that he knows everyone wants to see a title match tonight, so he suggests himself. Sting interrupts and says that he thinks Storm vs. Angle is a great idea. So apparently our main event is Kurt Angle vs. Bobby Roode. WOW! I'm shocked! I have no idea what's going to happen! Nobody mentioned this on twitter all week!!!!!
Hogan is confronted in the back by Bischoff and Immortal. Bischoff says that if he has any balls left he should come to the ring later tonight so he can get something off of his chest.
Back from commerical, and we get our 1st match of the night, almost one hour in!
Knockouts Tag Team Championship Match
Winter & Angelina Love vs. Brooke Tessmacher & Tara
Match starts with Love throwing Tara to the outside. Back inside Love and Winter then double team on Brooke in the corner. Tag into Winter as she executes a backbeaker followed by a faceplant to Brooke. Tag back into Love and she hits the jawbreaker and attempts the hot tag, but she is cut off. Love attempts a cross body from the top rope and misses. Both tag in their partners as Tara hits a clothesline and starts executing snapmares with Brooke's T-shirt around Winter's neck. Brooke gets an illegal tag and hits the high cross body on Winter, for the pinfall.
Winners & Still World Tag Team Champions : Brooke Tessmacher & Tara via pinfall
Nothing offensive. No blown spots, and kept short enough to not show off their shortfalls. *
Jeff and Karen Jarrett are shown coming into the building with Jeff holding what looks to be a backyard wrestling belt.
We are back and Jeff Jarrett enters the ring and tells us that he will finish what he started on Sunday at BFG. Jarrett asks Hardy if he thinks he can walk back into the company and take back his main event spot. He then starts calling him Nero. Nero apparently no showed a bunch of events, and Jeff makes it clear that he doesn't want him part of the organization. He gives him the choice of leaving of suffering the consequences of the founder. Nero instead of burning a DVD, tells Jarrett that he should face facts and that he will never light up the crowd like him. Brawling ensues. Security comes out and breaks up the brawl. Hardy breaks free and referee's come out to help out. In a weird turn of events, D-Lo Brown and Al Snow come out and instead of helping break up the fight they argue about who should do it. Instead of focusing on the REAL feud, TNA decides that 1999 is a better year for wrestling then the present and focuses on 2 NON wrestlers arguing. This segment was all levels of bad. From Jarrett calling Hardy Nero for no apparent reason, to the feud between D-Lo and Al Snow. This was proof that TNA is completely ADD at times and loses it's focus very easily. Never did find out where Jarrett got his backyard belt from.
We are back from break , and TNA finally shows us what happened between Hogan and Sting at BFG. We then go backstage and we see Eric Young in the back
2nd Match
Gunner vs. Abyss
Before the match even starts we get MORE TALKING. Gunner states that when you are part of immortal you have to prove that you can finish the job. So tonight, he's facing Abyss in what is sure to be a horrible match. Just saying.
Abyss wails on Gunner in the corner. Followed by a clothesline, and a double handed chokeslam. Gunner takes a bump and rolls to the outside and gets thrown into the steel steps. Abyss throws him back in , and Gunner powders all the way to the backstage area. Abyss wins via countout. (2:00)
Winner: Abyss via Countout. DUD
This match was pointless. Gunner is someone that the viewing audience could care less about , so making him into a running coward makes me care about him less. Abyss, well.... Abyss is one of the most underutilized characters in TNA, so I think I speak for the majority when I say that I don't care what TNA does with him anymore.
Gunner runs back to Immortal and tells them that he is a monster. He says that without Hogan on their side, they could use someone like Abyss. Bischoff tells him that he is over reacting and that they will deal with him after they deal with Hogan.
We are shown Velvet Sky's win at BFG. She tells us that she was bullied all though high school and when she got her contract with TNA it was the best thing that ever happened to her. Velvet Sky enters with WAY to much on. Authors Note: Can you believe that TNA wanted Tracy Brooks to pose for Playboy over Velvet Sky. She continues and says that the title is for all of those that believed in her , and she did it with the support of all the fans. Karen and Boobs Brooks come out to whine. Karen states that she is the VP of the knockouts. (Who is the President of the Knockouts?) and that she can fire both of them if she wanted. She calls for security and they escort Boobs Brooks out of the ring. Karen says that she was going to strip her of the title but instead decided that having her beat up would be more fun to watch. Enter Madison Rayne. As Velvet is paying attention to Madison Rayne, Gail Kim attacks Velvet from behind and a beat down ensues on Velvet.
Probably the best executed segment on the show. Everything clicked. Velvet came off very humble and not worthy while Karen came across as the vindictive heel that would do anything to get the belt off of the waist of the babyface.

Another pill popping DVD promo for Jeff “The Grown Up” Hardy. The Best of Jeff Hardy Vol 2. Also another recap of the Sting/Hogan match with different stills.
Immortal enters the ring with Bischoff leading the way. Bischoff calls out Hogan, and Hogan enters walking somewhat gingerly. Bischoff says that he can't understand how he can turn his back on immortal after 18 months. He also says that he was the one that made Hogan. However, Hogan's worst offense was turning Garrett Bischoff against Eric. Hogan says that he's more of a man that Eric will ever be. Eric slaps Hogan (WORST SLAP EVER) and immortal enters the ring. Sting slides into the ring, with 2 bats. Immortal leaves the ring. Bischoff is shown slowly backing up the ramp. Like 30 seconds of him backing up into his son. Finally , he actually ARRIVES at him after the long trek. He turns around and after poking him in the chest several times, Garrett drops Eric with a strong right cross.
Main Event
World Heavyweight Championship
Kurt Angle c) vs. James Storm
Kurt knocks Storm into the corner to start. Beatdown in the corner continues. Kurt Angle backs off to confront the ref. Kurt Angle turns around and eats a superkick for the pinfall. (1:28)
Winner and NEW WORLD CHAMPION: James Storm via Superkick DUD
James Storm grabs the mic and says that he's worked hard for 9 ½ years. He says that he thinks that Bobby Roode should be the champ. Roode grabs the mic and tells him that he worked his ass off , and he agrees with the fans. Storm should be champ. Fortune closes the show arms raised.
This show had a 36 minute interview segment to START the show. Absolutely atrocious. If TNA wants to entertain their fans, and get over the hump of 1.1-1.2 , they have to produce more than 10 minutes of wrestling a week. Great to see a new face with a World Title. Horrible way to earn it though. If you have stuff to do this week, you can definitely miss this show. However, Youtube Storm's win. Nice moment to watch. Otherwise, Thumbs down.
Thanks for reading.

10 Years ago today......... Has it been that long..
10 years ago today , the impossible happened. A moment that happened that has literally changed the landscape of pro wrestling. 10 short years ago, Vince McMahon purchased his competition. 10 years ago on this very day, Vince McMahon cemented his legacy in the wrestling business by buying his sole competition and creating a monopoly in the wrestling business. Shortly there after wrestling fans salivated at the possibility of a WCW vs. WWF storyline. All of the elements were there in one company: The video library, The superstars, The larger than life personas. There was one element missing: The booking team.
10 years ago today started the ball rolling on what can be considered one of the worst booked wrestling angles in wrestling history. WWE could have made millions on a WWF vs. WCW storyline that could have lasted well over a year. They could of had their own brand if Vince wanted. What happened instead? We got a WCW/ECW merger vs. WWF and that feud would last approximately 6 months with the focus of the feud being the McMahons and their egos.
As I write this, I have mixed emotions. None of them are happy. A feud, a storyline was created the day Vince McMahon bought WCW. He had the greatest wrestling feud in the palm of his hand and he turned around, dropped it and walked away. I can't even comprehend what the powers that be in WWF were thinking while booking this feud. Legends such as Sting, Goldberg, Hogan , Nash, weren't even thought about being brought in. However they brought in guys like Palumbo, O'Haire, Stasiak, and Hugh Morris. They thought it would be a great idea to have those guy be the WCW invaders. The more I write the more I get angry because it's like having an antique that you know will be worth money, and everyone else knows it will be worth money and EVERYONE wants you to make money off of it, but you throw it away. All the wrestlers KNEW what could have been. EVERYONE knew what Vince had , and he spit on something that could have been so amazing.
Well.... All Is not lost, we still have TNA!
Oh Shit.

WWF RAW 1/2/93: No Idea What's On This Show....Uh,Oh.
All I know that's on this show... Is Doink vs. Typhoon. Which is a fast forward match. There is probably also 2-3 other squashes. Royal Rumble was 2 weeks prior, so Mean Gene will probably be back again to tell us again what happened. I really hope this show isn't as bad as I'm hyping it. Let's Roll the Footage!!
We are LIVE from the Manhattan Center....... 18 years ago...... Sorry for the tape delay.
Tatanka vs. Damian Demento
Small package by Tatanka almost gets a 3. Tatanka clotheslines Demento over top, follows him out and throws him back in. Irish whip into the corner, Demento comes out and takes the clothesline. Demento throws Tatanka off the ropes and delivers a back elbow which BARELY connects. WOW. Now I know why he hasn't been on TV for the last month. Demento goes for the pin and only gets 2. Demento slides behind Tatanka and starts to execute a rear naked choke. Tatanka "Hulks up" and delivers a couple chops, and executes his patented Samoan Drop for the win.
Winner: Tanaka
04:09:00, DUD. This match was nothing to write home about. Tatanka was a huge fan favorite at this time and this did nothing to showcase anything for him. It did however make Demento look boring as all hell.
We are shown a clip from MSG where Bret Hart gave a $100,000 from the WWF to the American Red Cross for the Headlock on Hunger. Say what you want about Vince McMahon and how he sexually harasses women. At least he feeds pour and malnourished kids while he does it.
Brutus The Barber Beefcake comes out for a special in ring interview. He says that he intends to return to the WWF ring despite almost dying with Hogan in a para sailing accident. He said that before the accident he laid his 80 year old mother in the grave because she died of cancer. Then his dad died, and finally his wife issued him divorce papers. Then the para sailing accident happened. Brutus said that he couldn't see shit, but he could hear and nobody gave him a chance. Nobody wanted to hold his hand. Nobody except, Hogan. The first time he got to open his eyes again, Hogan was standing in front of him....naked. No, not naked but the way we was making this sound it might as well have been the finish to the story. The crowd was hot for this when he came out, by the end of it they started getting restless. The interview finished with Brutus saying he was back to take on all comers and wouldn't back down from a challenge.
High Energy vs. Iron Mike Sharpe & Glen Ruth
Hart and Sharpe start, Irish whip off the ropes to a shoulder tackle to Owen followed by a dropkick to Owen. Tags follow and Koko dropkicks Sharpe and goes up top for the missle drop kick. Owen goes for the pin and gets the easy pinfall.
Winner: High Energy
DUD, 01:33:00. This was just squash match that made one team look phenomenal. The other team just looked out of place. Sharpe and Ruth were out of their element the moment they stepped into the arena.
We are then shown a slow motion recap of Doink taking off his cast and hitting Crush with it. We are told that Crush is in Hawaii convellessing and will be back in a couple weeks. I can't wait for the end of that stupid feud.
Doink vs. Typhoon.
Doink is handhandled straight from the bell. Doink tries a drop toe hold , which looks absolutely dreadful. Probably the worst I have ever seen. Doink follows it up with a hammerlock, and then boots to the back. Finally he attempts a version of a camel clutch which Typhoon escapes. Both men get back up to a vertical base, and Typhoon hulks up and gives Doink a huge powerslam. Irish Whip into the corner and Typhoon misses Doink. Doink then hits a top rope Shoulder tackle and pulls the tights for a 3 count.
Winner: Doink
DUD, 03:13:00, This was another match that was just uneventful and pointless. This was billed as the main match of WWF RAW this week. So With 20 minutes left in the show it's anyone's guess what's would be the main event.
Vince McMahon joins Todd Pettingail to talk about what we will see on WWF Mania on the weekend. Pettingail tells us that they will feature Giant Gonzales and how the whole locker room fears him. 20+ minutes in and this program is a complete bust.
Back in the ring and Howard Finkle tells us that Andre The Giant passed away on the weekend and he was a huge influence to a lot of people. They do a 10 belt ring salute with a picture montage. Man , he was so big he was literally like 3 feet taller than Vince McMahon.
Yokozuna vs. Bobby DeVito
No Relation to Danny DeVito. Another match that nobody cares about because they know who is going to win. Yokozuna is undefeated and they stick this jobber against him. DeVito runs towards Yoko and he takes a cresent kick right to the face. Yokozuna picks up DeVito and delivers a devistating Yurinagi. Thrown back into the corner and knocked down with a clothesline. Yokozuna then goes up , drops the Bonzai drop and gets the 3 count.
Winner: Yokozuna
DUD, 02:03:00. This needs no comments. It was another squash.
Vince McMahon is joined by Money Inc. Ted Dibiase says that the only thing that bothers him is an empty bank account but that will never happen. Dibiase says that Beefcake's story was sad , but what is even more sad is that he wasn't wrestled in 3 years and now he wants to wrestle. So they flip a coin, and Ted Dibiase wins. Jimmy Hart comes out and says that nobody can win by facing Brutus Beefcake. Ted Dibiase and IRS say that he's no better than anyone else in the audience and If he steps into the ring they won't hurt his pretty little face because that's all he has left.
Simple note. This show is almost over and it's one of the worst wrestling programs I have every watched. 3 DUDS and a Brutus Beefcake promo??
Lex Luger "The Narcissist" comes out to face and during his entrance while admiring himself in the mirror a woman weighing at least 3 bills comes out and distracts him with the RAW sign card. This was actually really funny.
The Mr. Perfect Football vignette is shown. This never gets old. So good, how he throws the ball looks at the Minnesota Vikings player smirks and then runs is so good.
"The Narcissist" Lex Luger vs. Jason Knight
Luger locks up wth Knight and throws him across the ring. Luger picks him up and bodyslams him. Luger finally picks him up and delivers dual Bionic Elbows before finishing Knight off with the 3 count.
Winner: The Narcissist Lex Luger
DUD, 02:23:00. This was another piece of crap. Another DUD. It was basically Luger getting his signature moves in and looking extremely strong.
Final Thoughts: This show was complete and utter crap. If someone offers you this show, run in the other direction. 5 Matches should be something to write home about. However, all of those 5 matches did nothing to build characters or to build feuds. All 5 of those matches were DUDS. There were only two bright spots in this show. The first was when Brutus Beefcake showed his real life Homosexual love in the promo at the beginning of the show. Ok, he's not really in a relationship his Hogan. However, you wouldn't have guessed that with how he have Hogan a verbal Blow Job. The Other great thing about this program was the Mr.Perfect Vignette. His vignettes when he would play sports were always so amazing and fun to watch. Again..... Worst RAW yet. I deserve a hot poker up my ass for sitting through this.

TNA apologies for Victory Road.........Sort Of
TNA apologized this week to the people that purchased TNA Victory Road last Sunday. The company didn't issue a formal apology per say, however they did tell the fans via the TNA website that if they purchased Sunday's PPV they could send in their proof of purchase and would get a six month subscription to TNA on Demand available at the TNAwrestling.com website.
Are you kidding me? This is TNA's Apology? This is how Dixie Carter apologizes to fans?
Fans are apauled at your product right now. They don't want to watch it , they don't want to hear about it. Your solution to the fans that ordered the show is to offer then more TNA to watch?
This is another dagger in the heart of TNA. The people that take advantage of this are the ones that either have little to no TNA in their wrestling library and they will use this opportunity to go back and watch and potentially record anything that was worth while. Or you have the Fans that enjoyed the PPV (even though I don't know how you could) but just want free stuff.
I am currently still a fan of TNA. I am riding the fence of "TNA can still pull this out in the bottom of the ninth" and "Let's leave it early to beat the traffic". My personal belief is TNA is one more stupid mistake away from being the company that came close but didn't take the neccessary risks to become a viable alternative to the WWE.

WWF RAW 1/25/93: Flair v. Perfect
Not going to lie, never seen this match. Never seen this RAW, so I don't know what to expect. I know that the much anticipated Repo Man vs. Savage match is also on this show. So I don't know which one I want to see more. That's rhetorical.
Here we go!
WWF RAW.....Is live from the Manhattan Center ... 18 years ago.
Ok, before we start. TNA could learn from watching early WWF RAW. The different between doing RAW for a full 6 months to a year at the Manhattan Center compared to TNA running at Universal Studios is simple. People paid to see RAW. Just RAW. Nothing but RAW. At Universal , it's like another ride. If a ride is packed, or it's raining that day, it's just another option. When you go on the road or do your event at a single location , you give your crowd no choice but to watch the show or leave. If they pay upwards of fifty bucks a ticket, you can bet that in today's economy they won't leave even if the show is bad.
Ok, that is my rant. The only rant for the show. Unless we see some really bad Crush/Doink segments.
Sean Mooney is outside opening RAW when the Repo Man comes out of nowhere on the same Tow Truck that he left with last Monday. He says that Randy Savage better be ready because he will Repo his career just like he did his hat. Didn't make sense, but It was funny.
Inside , FINALLY Bobby Hennan is on the announce team. However, Rob Bartlett is still there. I don't know when he leaves the announce team. I'm guessing that he doesn't last past September of 1993. He's that bad.
Repo Man vs. Randy Savage
Randy runs out and starts brawling with Repo on the outside. Back in Savage drops an ugly knee from the second rope on Repo. Repo powders out and tries leaving the arena but Savage goes after him and headlocks him all the way back to the ring. Savage throws Repo to the outside, and Repo goes to work on Savage by throwing him into the ringpost and slamming Savage onto the ring steps several times. Back in and Repo Man attempts a body scissors while giving him a mouth full of trash talk. Snap Mare by Repo Man, which is followed up by a leg drop by Repo Man. Repo Man covers and hooks the leg for a two count. Side Suplex by Repo leads to a cover, and that also gets a two count.Savage counters an axe handle wit an mid air clothesline. Savage follows that up with a bodyslam and the beautiful elbow drop. The ensuing cover gets the 3.
Winner: Randy Savage
*, 08:59:00 , The match started off hot with the brawl on the outside. Nothing really exciting after the initial brawl on the outside. With Repo Man , you can't really expect a lot. If you expected this to be a wrestling clinic..Well, you were seriously disappointed and probably thought about killing yourself.
Kamala vs. The Brooklyn Brawler
Irish Whip into the corner which is countered and Brawler goes for the ride. Kamala misses the splash and Brawler attempts the bodyslam which is also countered into a bodyslam to the brawler. A chant of "You are A Man" ensues. Great Chant. A variation of a Bonzai drop in the corner on the Brawler, as Kamala tries to pin him with Brawler on his stomach. Kinda funny spot. Brooklyn Brawler was a jobber even back in 1993! Kamala slips while going for the pin. Kamala throws brawler into the corner, brawler hits his shoulder on the ringpost. Kamala follows it up with a splash and the cover for 3 count.
Winner: Kamala
DUD, 03:34:00 This match was barely funny. It was a squash from beginning to end. I don't know if there is a reason on why they would make Kamala look so strong, when he was a joke character.
Vince McMahon interviews The Reverend Slick and Kamala on the outside. Slick says that the people are the reason for The Ugandan Giant's new passion. Their love is the reason for his new found ability in the ring. He warns that Kim Chee and Harvey Whippleman better watch out.
Mean Gene joins us for the Royal Rumble report. He tells us that the Royal Rumble will be available on VHS by February 11th. WHAT?! That is a serious turn over. WWE doesn't release DVD's for 3 months later. Gene tells us that his current love life in the WWF consists of Leg Luger because he looked like a brozed adonis. Also , he was shocked that The Giant Gonzales manhandled The Undertaker like nobody else had ever done.
Main Event: Loser Leaves WWF Match
Ric Flair vs. Mr. Perfect
They are giving this match close to 20 minutes! This match should be awesome! Intense Stare down to start. Collar and Elbow tie up, off the ropes and Mr. Perfect executes a nice drop toe hold and Flair powders out. Nice start. Back in and both men exchange hammerlocks. Flair reverses and backs Perfect into the corner and both men exchange chops. Perfect lands about 4-5 left jabs and flair sells them likes he's been shot. Flair throws Perfect out of the ring and goes for a chair. However, Earl Hebner grabs the chair before he can use it
Mr. Perfect is attempting a sunset flip as we come back from commercial, they go to the outside and Perfect is busted open with a shot to the ring post. Back in, both men exchange punches and chops.

***, 17:48:00, First 3 Weeks on the air and this was the best match they produced. These two guys had a real knockdown drag out brawl. Fun to watch and had some real good false finishes.
Vince McMahon closes off the show by telling us of next weeks featured match up. Typhoon vs. Doink The Clown. Really? You decide that you can't even come close to matching Flair vs. Perfect , so you decide to not even try?? Rob Bartlett says that Doink is a creep and the show ends. Who is Rob Bartlett to call Doink a creep.
Final Thoughts: Uhhhhhgggg. I don't know what to think of this show. Everything including commentary was dull until Mr. Perfect vs. Ric Flair. It's almost like the energy at the Manhattan Center was all being saved for that one match. It's like everyone knew that everything else was crap,and didn't want to watch it. Anyways, I share the same opinion. If you own this show or see a download link. Skip or Avoid everything except the 18 minute match with Flair and Perfect. It's a good match.
Till next time!
Here we go!
WWF RAW.....Is live from the Manhattan Center ... 18 years ago.
Ok, before we start. TNA could learn from watching early WWF RAW. The different between doing RAW for a full 6 months to a year at the Manhattan Center compared to TNA running at Universal Studios is simple. People paid to see RAW. Just RAW. Nothing but RAW. At Universal , it's like another ride. If a ride is packed, or it's raining that day, it's just another option. When you go on the road or do your event at a single location , you give your crowd no choice but to watch the show or leave. If they pay upwards of fifty bucks a ticket, you can bet that in today's economy they won't leave even if the show is bad.
Ok, that is my rant. The only rant for the show. Unless we see some really bad Crush/Doink segments.
Sean Mooney is outside opening RAW when the Repo Man comes out of nowhere on the same Tow Truck that he left with last Monday. He says that Randy Savage better be ready because he will Repo his career just like he did his hat. Didn't make sense, but It was funny.
Inside , FINALLY Bobby Hennan is on the announce team. However, Rob Bartlett is still there. I don't know when he leaves the announce team. I'm guessing that he doesn't last past September of 1993. He's that bad.
Repo Man vs. Randy Savage
Randy runs out and starts brawling with Repo on the outside. Back in Savage drops an ugly knee from the second rope on Repo. Repo powders out and tries leaving the arena but Savage goes after him and headlocks him all the way back to the ring. Savage throws Repo to the outside, and Repo goes to work on Savage by throwing him into the ringpost and slamming Savage onto the ring steps several times. Back in and Repo Man attempts a body scissors while giving him a mouth full of trash talk. Snap Mare by Repo Man, which is followed up by a leg drop by Repo Man.

3/14/11
WWF RAW 1/18/93:
We are back at the Manhattan Center and We are taped... From over 18 years ago.
WWF RAW 1/18/93
We are joined at ringside by Vince McMahon, Randy Savage and....Rob Bartlett who rips a picture of Ted Turner. He says, "Fight The Real Enemy". So let's recap. Instead of having Bobby Hennan start things with Billionaire Ted you have Rob Bartlett? Repo Man comes out of nowhere and steals Randy Savage's cowboy hat.
Terry Taylor vs. Mr. Perfect.
Ok this looks like it could be way better opener then last week. Simple take down to start. Lock up in the corner and punches are exchanged. Irish whip to the other and perfect hits a dropkick. Powder to the outside by Taylor. Bobby Hennan comes on the phone to tell us about Narcissist. Perfect and Taylor exchange hip tosses and seated drop kicks before getting back to a vertical base. Jaw breaker to perfect and a backbreaker lead to a subsequent two count. Spinebuster on perfect also leads to a two count. Taylor tries for a gut wretch power bowb and also gets a two count. Perfect literally 'hulks-up' and hits all of his babyface spots. The Head between the knees, the atomic drop, the seated head slingshot. Ric Flair comes to ringside and attacks Mr. Perfect with chops. Flair throws Perfect in, and Taylor attempts a suplex which is reversed into a perfectplex for the 3 count.
Winner: Mr. Perfect
**, 10:12, This match was better then last weeks opener. Started off with a basic wrestling match. Then turned into a brawl to the outside, and ended with interference that didn't work out. Taylor got a lot of offense in the middle, which made him look like a formidable opponent.
Bret Hart comes out to join us for an in ring interview to talk about his opponent at Royal Rumble, Razor Ramon. Bret says that he thinks Razor is the lowest scum of the earth, and when Royal Rumble comes the Hart Family name will redeem itself because he's the best there is , best there was and the best there ever will be.
Marty Jannetty vs. Graham Ruth
Handshake to start. Irishwhip to the corner, boot to the face and Jannetty goes upstairs to deliver the flying bulldog. Very well done to the jobber. The night of phone calls continues as Shawn Michaels calls in to tell us that he will roll Jannetty out of the WWF. Simultaneously Jannetty delivers a great series of arm drags. A series of hammerlocks follows before Ruth can throw Jannetty off the ropes but it's countered with the Rockerdropper and the cover for the 3 count.
Winner: Marty Jannetty
DUD, 05:04:00, This was supposed to make Marty Jannetty look really strong for when Jannetty faces Shawn Michaels at The Royal Rumble. However, the hammerlocks and the boring match just made Jannetty look way out of Shawn's league.
We go to WWF Mania on the weekend and footage of Doink the clown attempting to bury the hatchet with Crush by giving him a flower. When Crush gives the flower to a fan he gets attacked by Doink and the cast he was wearing. I couldn't be more ashamed to be a wrestling fan.
Back from the Commercial and we go to Sean Mooney outside who catches up with Repo Man who says that Randy Savage was late with payments for his cowboy hat. Don't Cowboy hats cost like 50 bucks? Maybe 100? Was Savage that low on money that he couldn't make a payment for one of his cowboy hats? Furthermore, don't you think his Slim Jim advertisements would cover any type of debts he would have? Whatever....Logic in wrestling, who am I kidding.
Mean Gene gives us the Royal Rumble report. We get a random interview from Razor Ramon and then Gene gives us a list of a majority of the people that will be competing in the Royal Rumble match. He closes the segment by telling us about the Intercontintental Title Match.
Sean Mooney is outside the Manhattan Center and Macho Man runs out trying to find the repo man. He runs from one side of 8th avenue and then back to say something to mooney and then back to the other side , and then comes back again asking where the Repo Man is. Really odd segment.
Main Event: Tito Santana vs. Nature Boy Ric Flair
Collar and Elbow tie up to start, shoulder tackle to Flair. Repeated spot again. Santana then delivers a bodyslam, and a hip toss in succession before applying a headlock to Flair on the ground. Clothesline and Dropkick follow to Flair. Flair throws El Matador from the turnbuckle and goes for the wheelbarrow pin, but only gets a two count. Flair drops two rolling knee drops on Tito Santana before pulling him up. Flair goes up top but naturally gets thrown off. Tito Santana nails a back body drop and flying forearm before Mr. Perfect comes out and pulls Ric Flair outside. Mr. Perfect and Ric Flair start brawling at ringside.
Winner: No Contest
* 1/2 , 09:12:00, Match was ok while it lasted. You knew that Mr. Perfect was going to come out and get retirubtion for what Ric Flair did in his opening bout. The post match brawl created some incredible heat between both guys. The match itself was ok, but the segment and what it produced was really good TV.
Perfect and Flair are still brawling, and Ric Flair comes out and tells us that the WWF isn't big enough for him and Perfect. So next week he wants Perfect in front of the world and God. WOW! That's a big match. One of them stays, and one of them goes. A retirement match.......In front of the world , and God.
Mr. Perfect then joins Vince and tells Vince that he will take that challenge in a heartbeat. He says that if this is what it takes to get Ric Flair out of the WWF, he will take that challenge.
We go outside where we see the Repo Man with Macho's Hat, and now with a SUV. Except it's not any ole' SUV. It's Rob Bartlett's. He's getting it towed and Repossessed. So he puts on Macho Man's Hat and drives off with the tow truck.
Final Thoughts: Completely different show from last week. Last weeks show felt forced in places , and didn't even have the wrestling dynamic that would keep people interested for a whole show. This show however (for the majority) was well thought out and had good match ups. It's also leading us to a really good match up between Flair and Perfect next week. Next weeks show should really be good. If it's not I'll be surprised.
