If you’re wondering about Starrcade ’9. I WILL be redoing. The snowflake ratings on that show are terrible and it was the second or third show I ever did. Problems in WCW going into 1. They’d just finished the Goldberg streak title run. For the first Nitro of 1. Kevin Nash, in his infinite wisdom, ran the “Fingerpoke of Doom” angle where he laid down for a returning Hulk Hogan and gave up the title. Thus reforming the elite n. Wo. All of this is shit that no one wanted to see. WCW Souled Out 1999 Review richmond398. Subscribe Subscribed Unsubscribe 178 178. WCW Souled Out 2000 Review - Duration: 1:49. You’d think this show would have Goldberg getting a measure of revenge for all this. Well, he does – wrestling Scott Hall for costing him the title at Starrcade. That should have been a few Nitro main events. Not the main event of a PPV. Bret Hart is injured now and misses the show. Giant is pretty much done with the company and on his way to the WWF to debut the following month. Jericho has every intention of doing the same hence the start of his depush. Eddy Guerrero just had his famous car crash so he was out indefinitely. This results in this card, which is one of the weakest WCW had presented in some considerable time. WCW (they’d end up losing $1. M over the course of the year). They were heading downhill fast. While the WWF had Rock- Mankind firing on all cylinders in preparation for Steve Austin against the Rock at Wrestlemania WCW had no idea what their main event would be in two months. What’s worse is some of the stupid shit they were doing. Like Tony Schiavone announcing that Mankind would win the WWF title in a recorded episode of Raw. The ratings suddenly swung in the WWF’s favour (half a million fans switched channels) because that’s what the fans wanted to see. The WWF were giving the fans what they wanted. WCW didn’t know what their fans wanted. They only knew what Hulk Hogan and now, Kevin Nash wanted. It’s at this point where I stopped watching. The shows were getting worse. The writing wasn’t on the wall but some serious emergency surgery was needed. We’re in Charleston, West Virginia. Hosts are Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay and Bobby Heenan. Goldberg gets laid out backstage and has a knee problem. Chris Benoit v Mike Enos. Enos is such a nobody. The gulf in talent here is IMMENSE. Enos clubs away and jaws with the fans. Benoit takes him down with a dragon screw and brings the CHOPS! Benoit looks for the Crossface but Enos switches it into a backbreaker. Nice counter there except he screwed up the whirl part. But like I said, the gulf in talent is enormous. Enos with a powerslam for 2 and then a lengthy bearhug. Benoit gets a sunset flip for 2 but Enos retorts with a neck crank and then it’s back to the bearhug. Vertical suplex gets 2. Benoit counters a back suplex into a crossbody. Both men down on that though so Enos recovers with a weak ass clothesline. Benoit slaps him in the Crossface for being such a worthless piece of crap and gets the submission win at 1. Dull with Benoit basically wrestling himself. Why on Earth did they stick Enos in there with him? What were they thinking? I’d understand it if he’d just been destroyed but he got most of the offence too. CLIPS – Goldberg/Hall. So now they’ve moved Goldberg on to feud with Hall after not finishing his feuds with Scott Steiner, Bam Bam Bigelow, Kevin Nash AND Lex Luger. Way to book your hottest property into the ground. Austin main evented practically every show during his run at the top because he was the companies hottest property and their biggest star. WCW have not replicated that. And while it’s an improvement booking Goldberg in tonight’s main event the fact it’s not for the title just devalues the title. Norman Smiley v Chavo Guerrero Jr This is some Vince Russo booking if ever I saw it. Or at least copycat style booking. Chavo’s pet horsy Pepe was burnt up by Smiley, which is pretty random, and now Chavo is out for revenge. Tony gets sad about Pepe’s “last birthday party”. Chavo dominates early until Smiley bails and then Chavo wipes him out with a pescado. Springboard bulldog as they go back in. High crossbody as well from Chavo who seems to be throwing a lot of stuff in here without any rhyme or reason. Smiley recovers and teases a Big Wiggle. That’s his best move, IMO. Smiley goes to work on the mid section and then changes to work at the arms. Chavo gets pissed off with taking that abuse and hits a clothesline but gets hit with a neckbreaker for 2 as Smiley gets right back in charge. Now he goes to work on the leg of Chavo. This may be an impressive array of submissions from Smiley but it seems a bit directionless. Back elbow gets 2 and Smiley teases the Wiggle again. Back to the arms from Smiley before they go to the ropes. Smiley hits a Superplex from up there and THE BIG WIGGLE! Back to the mat and Smiley works a stretch again. They switch on sleepers and Smiley hits a back suplex to end that. Smiley breaks out the Gory Special to piss on Chavo’s bonfire. Chavo gets out because it’s his family’s move and rolls Smiley up for 2. Chavo looks for the springboard bulldog but it’s blocked, chickenwing is blocked, tornado DDT is blocked. Smiley throws the remains of Pepe in Chavo’s face (that, SURELY is a DQ) and locks on the Chickenwing for the submission at 1. A little longer than I’d have liked ideally. Most of the Smiley stuff was actually focused on the area he finished on though so I guess that counts as psychology even if it was somewhat lost on the crowd. Or they noticed it but just didn’t care. The weird thing is we’re two matches into this PPV and nothing has sucked yet. Oh and once again – how was that “ashes/sawdust” shot not a DQ? BACKSTAGE Konnan is asked about how he got booted out of the Wolfpac. He wants to know who decided he was out. He’s going to hunt down whoever did it. Fit Finlay v Van Hammer. Another fairly random match up here. At least they were trying different stuff, I guess. Although this is probably more to see just how much dead weight Finlay can carry. Hammer’s current gimmick is that of a peace loving hippy. I would complain about him being stuck in gimmick hell but if he had the best gimmick ever he’d still suck. Finlay tries the old broomstick approach and works around Hammer. Finlay with a jawbreaker that Tony calls a fucking CLOTHESLINE of all things. What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Talk about becoming a parody of an announcer. Crowd is completely nonplussed by this anyway. Out come the “boring” chants. Finlay plods through the motions until Hammer takes his leg for a while. The leglock goes on for about a minute until Hammer gives up to hit a few weak stomps instead. Hammer’s selling in this one has been pretty bad. Finlay goes for a sleeper but Hammer snapmares out. Hammer with a powerslam for 2. Finlay comes back with a front roll slam and the Tombstone finishes Hammer off at 7. Wow, was that ever boring. At least Finlay went over but it was clear from this that he wasn’t going to make WCW’s disinterested main eventers more entertaining. Hence his lack of push beyond the hardcore division after this. CLIPS of Ric Flair’s own son David volunteering to wrestle against the evil Horsemen of Barry Windham & Curt Hennig. Wrath v Bam Bam Bigelow. This is a weird choice by WCW. They blatantly wanted to push Wrath but then stuck him out here with Bigelow, who was on a main event push as a renegade competitor. Therefore totally fucking Wrath’s push up in mid flow. Creatively Bigelow was better off in ECW but financially he did what was best and came here. This would be stage two of the ECW talent raids where Bischoff was intent on plucking the company to its bare bones. They club at each other until Wrath comes up with a big bicycle kick. Bigelow bails to compose himself. Wrath starts bumping but not really selling, which is a change from his no selling machine of the previous few months. Wrath with a diving clothesline for 2. Bigelow with a Hot Shot. Tony puts over how talented Bigelow is. Bigelow chinlocks the life out of this one. The problem here is they’ve got two guys beating each other up and not giving anything but neither one of them is over with this crowd yet. Yes, they’re over when they’re having their style of match or working with a bigger star but they’re not ready character- wise to go out there and go evens on a match. Bigelow probably knows this so decides to stop doing anything in order to save himself some energy for something more constructive later. Another long chinlock kills the crowd completely dead. Bigelow with a powerslam for 2. Nothing is getting reactions at all now. Time to go home methinks. Bigelow hits a DDT for 2. Crowd still doesn’t care. Wrath gets sent weakly into the ringpost and the Greetings from Asbury Park finishes at 9. Again there was nothing doing. The crowd wasn’t interested. The crowd also knows Bigelow’s feud with Goldberg didn’t go anywhere so they’re less than thrilled with his lack of direction now. Of course they don’t know he’ll do a run in later. Konnan v Lex Luger. Konnan’s entrance wakes the crowd up. Konnan was kicked out of n. Wo ’9. 9 and is about to take out his frustrations on Luger. Konnan spews catchphrases and the crowd buy into it. Luger offers Konnan the chance to walk out on this match or he’ll beat his ass. Konnan didn’t make the A team, he got cut down to the B team. Konnan’s reply is to punch Lex in the jaw. Crowd just erupts as Konnan controls the early going. They bail and Luger just stands there looking like a complete Muppet. Konnan beats him down some more. He breaks some rules by choking away with his boot and they ran the babyface control stuff for too long because the crowd is now dead again. Luger holds the ropes to avoid a DDT and lays the boots in to win the crowd back as they boo the shit out of him. WCW Souled Out 1. Value. Souled Out 1. January 1. 7, 1. 99. Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia. The main event was Goldberg versus Scott Hall in a Ladder Stun Gun match, in which the only way to win was to use the stun gun on the opponent. Other matches included Ric & amp; David Flair vs Barry Windham & amp; Curt Hennig, a fatal four way for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship with Billy Kidman defending against Juventud Guerrera, Rey Mysterio, Jr., and Psychosis, Saturn vs Chris Jericho in a wager match, Konnan vs Lex Luger, Wrath vs Bam Bam Bigelow, Fit Finlay vs Van Hammer, Chavo Guerrero, Jr.
