RAW 3/16/98
RAW opens with some voice that I've never heard before announcing Shamrock coming to the ring. I wonder who that is...no, really, idfk who it is. Shamrock is interviewed about his temper. I always hated his "snapping" storyline or whatever you'd call it. Incredibly corny and he portrays it awfully. You can't just belly-to-belly one ref and flex and say "omg i've snapped", you have to keep going until people stop you and you acknowledge it later. "Know your role" and "jabroni" come out of The Rock's mouth for the first time in this segment. Shamrock takes one of the sickest chairshots to the face you will ever see.
You really have to hear that chair shot to do it justice.
Random thought: Have never watched Survivor Series 98 but really looking forward to it. Lots of people call it one of the greatest ppvs ever because of the storyline. Regretably, I know the end result. /random thought
The Phoenix Suns Gorilla slides down from the roof, gets on commentary and takes JR's hat!!!! Being in Tucson, I absolutely love Mr. Gorilla and the Phoenix Suns
Tennessee Lee (what?) introduces Double J as a "better entertainer than Elvis". He comes in on a flashing horse!!! I don't like Jarrett, may have mentioned this. I do like Robert Fuller. He was never used to his full potential. It's Jarrett vs Brandi so I'm sure this is the last of my commentary ont his segment. Wrong! Salvatore hits the sickest Rude Awakening I have ever seen. This is how it ended up and looked like it broke Jarrett in half:
Showing more of the Suns Gorilla...now I remember what his fate was.
Rock n' Rolls + Cornette vs Headbangers - who wouldn't look forward to this? Headbangers win. Cornette never gets in the ring. Bob Holly and Bart Gunn attack the Headbangers after the match for Cornette. Oh, I get it. "Bombastic" Bob and "Bodacious" Bart are "The New Midnight Express". The News attack the RnR's!!! It's like 1987 all over again!!!
Please run Gorilla!!! run! run!! RUN!!!
Should've ran, dumbass.
Chainsaw Charlie continues to be the worst thing on the show.
Sable challenged Luna earlier and says "she only does things when she says she'll do them"...so she accepts Sable's challenge for tonight. ok then.
Vince interviewed and says that he'd have broken Austin's jaw if he had fought Austin last week. I have a feeling business will pick up. "Do you want to see SCSA as champion after WM?" Oh ****. "It's not just a no...."
Vince. "..and that's the bottom line because Vince McMahon said so".
HHH won the Euro championship somehow. Pretty clever iyam GOADING him into a match and Chyna ****ing him.
Main event is Luna vs Sable. And people said the only ladies thing to ME was Trish vs Lita. Of course it never starts, so I guess Trish/Lita stands alone. Kane comes down to get some of Sable!!! Taker's gong!!! Lights are out. Where is he?!?!? On top of the titantron!!! You couldn't pay me enough to do that....well maybe for a grand. Kane burns to end the show. Well not Kane, but Kane.
A+++++++ episode.
