(3/28/01) WWF RAW By Mike Stanton

Vince says Time Warner is begging him to sign the contract...And he will after Ted Turner walks out and gives him the contract...Vince takes credit for defeating WCW...He says he murdered WCW and he's gonna murder his kid...Vince is gonna break out the whole family for the Mania...He makes fun of Hogan...And now the Thumbs up/Down test...Hogan/Luger fail...Buff Bagwell gets a little bit better responce...Booker T gets another good reaction...Scott Steiner gets a job saving face pop...Goldberg chants...Sting gets a pop...GOLDBERG WE WANT FUCKING GOLDBERG screams the crowd...And then says that he's gonna BURY the WCW and everyone is fired and they can go fuck themselves..."ASSHOLE" chant...Vince flips out...Shane Titan Tron...Shane's at Nitro...AHHHH...I'm Marking out!!! SHANE OWNS WCW...This is the GREATEST NIGHT EVER!!

(3/28/01) WCW Nitro By Chad Dupree

What a moment. It's been a long time since I have seriously marked out, but that segment did it for me. I knew it was going to happen one way or another, but I still marked out. WCW lives on. A few months ago, I couldn't have cared less, but now I'm thrilled about it. Goodbye from WCW Nitro's final broadcast on TNT, but I'll see you when WCW makes its debut...on TNN.

(3/26/01) Lucha Libre on Galavision Report by Rex Manteca

Wagner abdominal-stretches Atlantis with help from Emilio Charles on the apron. The ref sees and Emilio lets go, but as soon as the ref turns away, Bestia helps out. Atlantis breaks and gets a nice backbreaker on Wagner. Bestia grabs Atlangis from behind, Atlantis ducks, Wagner hits Bestia Salvaje, Atlantis and Wagner fight ringside as Porky splatters Emilio against the buckle. He tries his patented drop onto Bestia and Emilio, but he BOUNCES OFF. Atlantis tries an abdominal stretch on Wagner, but it is broken by Bestia Salvaje, who is attaacked by Braza de Oro. Oro goes to plancha Bestia, but Plata beats him to it and Oro lanzas them both. Atlantis and Wagner rip off half of each others' masks. Atlantis rolls up Wagner and Wagner fouls him to get a magistral and pin.

(3/26/01) WWF Smackdown By Christian Friedman

After Wrestlemania, they won't ask me what it's like to be Vince McMahon's son... they'll ask me what it's like to be Vince McMahon's Daddy!" Linda will be in Vince's corner during the match... and since I'm one of those evil bastards who gives the endings of movies away, here it is... Linda forgot to take her meds and she helps Shane win. There ya go, now you TOO can save money on the PPV!

(3/26/01) WCW Thunder By Chad Dupree

WCW is billing this edition of Thunder as the season finale, although series finale might seem the better term given the circumstances. TBS has shown wrestling longer than I've even been alive so it's almost shocking to see that it's remaining wrestling program is about to come to an end. Let's see if WCW can deliver a good show on their final night broadcasting from Superstation TBS.

(3/26/01) Shoot To Thrill By BJ Bethel

BJ Bethel has all the latest news on the WWF's buyout of WCW and Phil Mushnick vs. Vince McMahon.

(3/26/01) NWA Wildside: Hardcore Hell 2001 by Larry Goodman

Flair cleaned house on Kohl Brothers. They went four way leading to Bliss bumping Thomas. Kohls hit their doubleteam finisher on Flair, but Thomas was selling his broken arm. Finish saw Bliss post one of the Kohls and occupy Bailey, while Flair blasted the other Kohl with a belt. Flair covered for the pin and we had new NWA Wildside Tag Team Champions. Flair strutted across the ring.

(3/26/01) NWA Wildside TV - Episode 77 By Larry Goodman

NWA World Tag Team Title Match: JOEY MATTHEWS & CHRISTIAN YORK vs. BAD ATTITUDE (RICK MICHAELS & DAVID YOUNG). Rick Michaels cut a pre-match promo saying it didn't matter what promotion York & Matthews were with, BA would be walking out of the building with the belts. Michaels called Total Destruction "drunk pieces of garbage" and promised to destroy them at Hardcore Hell. Michaels said he hoped the docs at Habersham Medical Center would let TD drink all the beer that wanted, because that's where they would be after the match.

_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

(The Blood, Good, Weird wrestling section)

blood- TERRY FUNK/ DORY FUNK JR vs THE SHIEK/ ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER- 1979 All Japan Tag League Final- Ya can't outbleed Dory Funk Jr.  Not in the 70s anyway.

good- NOBUTAKA ARAYA vs MASAAKI MOCHIZUKI- 2/8/1997- Araya, who is currently in All Japan, was on the way to being an Indie NEXT BIG THING when he botched a moonsault and broke his neck.  Here is his best match and one of Mochizuki's best matches.  From the lovely WAR promotion. I made this a Governor's Selection in the Best of the 90s.

weird- GREAT GAMMA vs CHRIS BENOIT (and then STAMPEDE ON THE STICK~!) The match that causes a teenage Chris Benoit, Bruce Hart and Brian Pillman to say... something.  Then the truly great ZODIAC interview of special effects evil.

blood- SHINOBU KANDORI vs AKIRA HOKUTO- DreamSlam 1- 4/2/93- You've read the hype.

good-  VILLANO III vs PEGASUS KID- from the weird ass BEST OF UWA tapes. See where Benoit got his Lucha stylings from.

weird- Malinomio/ Rey Rabana/ Halloween/ El Duende/ Maremoto vs. Power Raiders- AAA 9/95- When Halloween is the least preposterously dressed person in your match, you know quality Lucha Libre is on the way. The Power Raiders were so God-like.

blood- SHADOW WX vs TOMIAKI HONMA- BIG JAPAN 10/17/99- Possibly the most grotesque bladejob by Honma- which is a statement that covers SOOOOO much ground.

good- Yumi Fukawa / Rie Tamada VS. Sugar Sato / Chikayo
Nagashima (All Japan Tag Team Title Match)-ALL JAPAN WOMEN- 9/1/1996- Sugar and Chikayo Nagashima's first really great match- with no small assist from the underrated tagteam of Tamada and Yumi Fukawa.

weird- KO-D Musabetsukyu Senshuken 4 Way Single Match: Sanshiro Takagi vs. Poison Sawada JULIE vs. Tomohiko Hashimoto vs. Super Uchu Power- DRAMATIC DREAM TEAM- 1/10/2001- Try to figure this match out while Super Uchu Power and the ending BRING THE WEIRD.  All that and Evil Kurokage in tiny tiny pants.

blood- El Hijo del Santo vs Negro Casas vs El Dandy- EMLL 12/6/96- El Dandy takes you by the hand and says, "Welcome to Mexico, Motherfucker."

good- Bruiser Brody -vs- Jumbo Tsruta - ALL JAPAN, 5/28/83.

weird- SURVIVAL TOBITA vs AUTOMATIC WARRIOR- SPWC 12/23/1999- Survival fights for the honor of Japan as a renegade industrial robot has been running amok and has ended up fighting our man Tobita in a high school gym somewhere in Japan.

blood- CARLOS COLON vs HERCULES AYALA- Firematch- WWC 1988- Ah Puerto Rico.... Hercules Ayala will blow plasma out of his head for ya.

good- Jaguar Yokota vs Lioness Aska, Jd'- 10/22/97- When they write about the 90s, they better talk about the greatness of Lionness- and the greatness of Jaguar who inspired her.  These matches all fucking ruled.
