It wasn't even the main event.
The fate of Lex.

But wait, it gets better! They turned him heel in the process, so he's not even the top babyface going forward.

Then they use up most of his maximum dates in the contract so they have to have him around extremely sparingly from...basically November to February where he finally drops the belt on his way out. It's a whole mess. ...I'm still taking GAB91 for this one.

Amazing that 99 and 2000 were two incredible business years for WWF and both the respective Mania shows are so disappointing.

Never saw NTR97, but yeah, Shane Douglas can gently caress off. It's hard to go back and watch some ECW as well because A) the crowd is genuinely awful (it doesn't help that I've never really liked the rose-tinted hagiography about the so-called "ECW fans" either) and makes it hard watch whenever there's someone with ovaries within 50 paces of the arena and B) knowing that the Aldo Montoya "we have HHH at home" megapush is coming really gives everything a sense of dread. It makes stuff hard to watch in 98, 99 when it's like "Heyman jobbed out the Great Sasuke for Aldo loving Montoya!?"

Going off memory I was sure the losers valet had to strip post match, but a quick google tells me Debra had to strip if Jarrett lost but if Goldust lost then Goldust would have to strip.

So anyway that’s the show I voted for, mostly for da Brood

Hedgehog Pie

Total fuckin' silence.
I love this summary, you don't get much more :russo: than this.

quote:

The fifth match of the night involved Jeff Jarrett accompanied by Debra going up against Goldust with the stipulation that if Goldust won, Debra would have to strip naked, but if Jarrett won, Goldust would to do the same. Jeff Jarrett was initially dominant in his match, using underhand tactics, on Goldust and despite being rolled over in a crossbody, controlled much of the early match mostly with kicks and punches. A neckbreaker and a dropkick could not keep Goldust down, much to Jarrett's dismay and neither could a number of successive sleeper holds. Goldust was taken all the way down to the mat before finding the power to stand up with enough momentum to back drop Jarrett. Debra tried to aid Jarrett by picking up his guitar but when Goldust ducked she almost hit Jarrett with it. Goldust took advantage with an inverted lifted DDT but referee Jack Doane was too busy reprimanding Debra to make the pinfall. Goldust positioned Jarrett for Shattered Dreams and while Debra tried to distract Goldust from doing it, she actually distracted the referee allowing Goldust to perform the illegal move. Jarrett fell out of the ring though, and had to be counted out allowing Debra to strike Goldust down with the guitar making him dazed enough for Jarrett to pin him after hitting him with The Stroke. After the match Commissioner Michaels came to the ring to send Jarrett to the back and ostensibly oversee Goldust stripping. However, he declared Debra to have disqualified Jarrett making her the loser and forcing her to strip to her bra and panties. Before she could take off her bra though Jarrett and the Blue Blazer appeared, covering Debra with the Blazer's cape.[5]

Also Mankind beat The Rock but didn't win the title.

the good thing about this game and this tournament is that it never ends. if it ever ended i'd feel weird like a part of my life went away. but that won't ever happen, and i can count on that. man it's wild some of the dinky little names that IYHs had sometimes. and the dinky cards. they were $20 then increased to the full price of any big ppv after like 2 years right? something like that. you can spill all the info or none of it.
