Evan Karagias had a really good match for the Cruiser title last week on Nitro and now he's a jabroni to make Scott Steiner look good.

Also during Evan's match last week Heenan kept banging on about how this kid was going to be a big star.

It's interesting to see over the past few weeks that they've stopped trying to book Goldberg into feuds or storylines while he's champion and he's just in a holding pattern, beating jobbers on Nitro.

But it was so good

"Whether Fall Brawl set a new standard for awful in PPV is a debatable issue. What isn't debatable is that it was near the top of any list of the worst wrestling PPV shows ever" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: September 21, 1998.

"Fall Brawl featured a main event so bad it was even worse then people's imaginations would have been of the Jay Leno match going in. With the possible exception of the Triple Decker cage match a few years back on Uncensored and perhaps some Andre the Giant matches towards the end of his career, this may have been the worst PPV main event of all time, about 20 minutes of bad wrestling made worse by a finish that simply defied description. Unlike previous WCW shows with bad main events, they didn't have anything on the undercard with the exception of the Raven match that remotely saved it, and featured four other matches that would have won worst match on any normal 'bad' PPV show" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: September 21, 1998

"Rick Steiner went to a no-contest with Scott Steiner...Bagwell collapsed as if he'd re-injured his neck...The poor announcers had to sell it even though NOBODY in the crowd was buying it. They then had to do this long angle of the match ending, everyone acting concerned and Bagwell being immobilized and put on a stretcher and taken to the ambulance. It was torture because the crowd was booing rather than acting concerned. Since nobody bought it, nobody cared when when Scott and Bagwell jumped out of the ambulance and attacked Rick -*" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: September 21, 1998

"Juventud Guerrera retained the WCW cruiserweight title beating Silver King. The problem with the match at the outset was how evident it was that Silver King is no cruiserweight, except that all Mexicans are cruiserweights in WCW. Since Silver King has no credibility, the fans were chanting boring early. Juvi was wearing 'Sweet Surrender' on his trunks which I'm told is some kind of a gay deal which someone told him to wear as a practical joke" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: September 21, 1998.

"Konnan beat Scott Hall in 12:03. Hall was doing a drunk gimmick, with Vincent holding a drink and Hall frequently taking swigs of it... Hall tried a hair pull on Konnan but there wasn't any...At another point, Hall held Konnan in an abdominal stretch and grabbed the drink from Vincent and began drinking...DUD" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: September 21, 1998

"After the main event, the live crowd was pissed about the match, the Warrior gimmick which is dying in every city, and the night in general, booing heavily and throwing things at the announcers. This was one for the record books. -****" - The Wrestling Observer Newsletter: September 21, 1998

A Goldberg impersonator wrestled. Goldberg did not.
They turned Scott Hall's drunkenness into a gimmick, probably so that when Hall showed up drunk they could just attribute it to the gimmick.
I'm not certain the number of actual wrestling holds performed in a 15 minute War Games match reached double digits.
They threw out an entire grudge match to triple down on the 'Steiner and Buff fake injuries' gimmick, which I swear took as long as the main event.

The cracks are growing longer and deeper.

It only just occurred to me that Malenko and Hennig had a cage match on Nitro to build to a normal match at Fall Brawl. That's not even in the top five dumbest things about that PPV, but still idiotic.

I was personally ok with this, since it was a continuation of Jericho trying to piss off Goldberg so he could do a title vs title match. It was just good heeling.

Of course the angle led to basically nothing.

I remember watching that Nitro live on the ol' cable TV. Mostly just the Ric Flair return. I kinda forgot that Scott Hall was doing his drunk thing probably because I took a piss break or something.

I'm really interested in what the story is behind Juvi losing the Cruiser strap the same show the Flock split up and Kidman turned was about. Did he have some commitments in Mexico he couldn't get out of, was he not going to be available? Or was this just a "nobody cares about the jobberweights, what does it matter who the champ is" thing?

EDIT: Also Jackie Chan needs to be a bumper
