Shamrock makes the save for Terri but I don’t really know the significance of it.
Chyna tells Mankind on the Titantron “come down here and kiss my ass”, and Mankind says “ok, I’m a good kisser” 
their match with the Headbangers was short but made them look pretty stupid. The finish was awful cause Mosh was too far away covering Furnas, so Lafon had to land awkwardly on a splash. It just looked bad.
Taker had adjusted to Attitude attire wise by this point, but the promos were still stiff and cartoony as well, only made more awkward with Vince clearly gushing over him the entire time while he was in the ring. HBK going all tongue in cheek with referencing the Kliq was nauseating, but it only reminds me of why the Young Bucks are the Young Bucks today. I’m 34 and right in the middle of the Young Bucks ages, so we were all watching and growing up with the same stuff 
The promo Undertaker is cutting on the May 5th 1997 episode of Raw
The HBK promo was
fakkitry personified pal
I don’t know what was the point of the Road Warriors booking in their 2nd stint. Why hand them humiliating L after humiliating L for what seemed like forever?
They had the titles for a second then they lost them to the NAO. Then they went on a losing streak to seemingly every tag team in the WWE.
They got embarrassingly destroyed by the NAO and DX to close Raw which I get cause it was meant to put over the NAO and be a new guard taking over thing. But the losing streak continued and they broke up and fought and got back together.
The whole time they were still getting crazy crowd pops and chants of “LOD!” They crowd would get audibly annoyed when they’d get the shyt beat out of them by the Godwins or whoever.
Then they come back as the LOD 2000 with cheesy looking NHL shoulder pads and helmet combos and Sunny, who was gettingand said and did absolutely nothing.
Then they meander around for a while and add Puke…Hawk, Animal, and…Puke. And they take an L to bum ass DOA and have Paul Ellering turn on them. Then Hawk climbs the titantron about the jump until Droz or Puke or whoever climbs up and ends up pushing him down.
They were booked weak as fukk and embarrassing. It seemed like they never lost in all their Crocket years though.
it was due to some pretty weak Hart Foundation interference, but it still made them look pretty goofy. They were still getting very good reactions but it’s like the WWF was dead set on killing them off.
Jim Ross doesn’t say a single word the entire time but Faarooq brings up slavery, black men building this country, and pretty much asks Vince “how would you feel if I became the first black WWF champion?”. There’s no way in hell this entire dialogue between Faarooq and Vince would even sniff current WWE television. That dialogue couldn’t be written by any current cornball WWE writers. you can hear a pin drop when his awful music comes on, and the only time they reaction is when he’s yelling at them during his matches. And that stupid little dance he does 
That is what the people wanted to see. I think the only PPVs that got more buys were Starrcade 1997 and Starrcade 1998.So? A WWF PPV title match between Hoegan and Savage in 93 would’ve done numbers too. Vince knew that’s not how you run a business though. Hoegan and Flair had no business headlining a PPV for the world title when the competition is on fire and kicking your ass now with new stars.The Superbrawl 1999 Hogan vs Flair PPV is the 3rd or 4th biggest PPV in WCW history so
same thing with Rockabilly doing his “Rocker Dropper like maneuver” Vince would not have had Hoegan and Flair headlining PPVs for the world title against each other with Austin, Rock, Foley, etc. on the roster in 98-99, come on man lol. Vince thought both were washed like 6 or 7 years prior and let them both go. Their later runs were nostalgia runs. Vince knew when to move on from shyt and Bischoff and WCW didn’t.
