ECW Crossing the Line 1999 Review

ECW Crossing the Line 1999

- Little Guido vs Chris Chetti
This was an alright opener, nothing spectacular nor anything out of the usual stuff, Chetti did a cool spot to finish the match though.
* 3/4

- Danny Doring & Roadkill vs Axl Rotten & Balls Mahoney
Just the normal Axl/Balls match which to be honest is always good fun but doesn't create for the greatest tag team wrestling not exactly The Briscoes or Andersons here.
* 3/4

- Super Crazy vs Yoshihiro Tajirji
This match was a lot of flash but a real lack of substance, there was full of great spots but it wasn't a great wrestling match still not a bad watch.
** 1/2

- Skull Von Krush vs Sabu (FTW World Title)
For those who don't know, Skull Von Krush is former WCW wrestler Big Vito. This match was nothing more than Sabu doing his spots and Von Krush doing a few moves. The most interesting part of this match was Sabu speaking during an ECW show stating "Taz Motherfucker Taz"...poetry.
DUD

- Steve Corino vs John Kronus
Both guys were having a basic match then Steve Corino did a Powerbomb and that pissed off someone, which was Sid Vicious and out he came to kick ass which kinda ended the match.

- Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn (ECW Television Title)
This was kinda messy but it was a decent match to watch, Rob Van Dam did his usual spots that everyone in the ECW crowd marks out for while Jerry Lynn brought some cool stuff to the table.
** 1/2

Legacy of Stone Cold Steve Austin Disc One Review

The Legacy of Stone Cold Steve Austin Disc One

- Hollywood Blondes vs Dos Hombres (WCW Tag Team Titles)
Dos Hombres are Ricky Steamboat & Shane Douglas, this was another good solid match. The usual story in a tag match with the heels working on the face until the faces make a comeback then everything goes back and forth. A botch by the bell ringer ringing the bell to fast kind of killed the finish but in the end with a Stun Gun, the Blondes won.
***

- Brian Pillman vs 'Stunning' Steve Austin
This was a solid match, nice spots from Pillman and good psychology from Austin (who in my opinion was one hell of a worker especially in his 'Stunning' days). Horrible finish though which kinda killed this match in the end sadly.
** 3/4

- Steve Austin vs Ricky Steamboat (WCW United States Title)
This was a good solid wrestling match, nothing too great or special other than it was some good old fashioned wrestlingm, their match at BOTB was better than this.
*** 1/4

- Mikey Whipwreck vs Steve Austin vs Sandman (ECW World Heavyweight Title)
This was another solid match, nice psychology from Austin as usual and the other two were alright. Sandman has always been a guilty pleasure of mine and seeing wrestling's two famous in-ring "drinkers" go at it was kinda cool after Mikey got eliminated by Austin.
** 3/4

- Savio Vega vs Stone Cold Steve Austin (Carribean Strap Match)
I thought this was going to suck but this was actually good, this was a solid match with Stone Cold doing his best to make Savio Vega look good and in the end we got a good match out of it.
** 1/2

- Bret Hart vs Stone Cold Steve Austin
This was one hell of a match and at first i wondered why they put this here instead of their Wrestlemania bout which was considered MOTY at the time but i can see why after watching this match, this was all Austin. Simple story here with Austin being the young lion trying to take over the throne of the veteran in Bret Hart but in the end the tricky veteran has a move up his sleeve, giving Bret the win countering the Million Dollar Dream (Cobra Clutch) using the turnbuckles to roll Austin up.
*** 3/4

ECW Heatwave 1999

- Danny Doring & Roadkill vs Chris Chetti & Nova
This was nothing but a whole lot of spots with the only real interesting part being Chetti dancing in the middle of the match, that was pretty funny.
DUD

- Jason vs Jazz
Ugh

- Super Crazy vs Little Guido
This was also pretty spotty but it was a better showing than the opening match, ended with Super Crazy winning with a Crazy Bomb.
**

- Dudley Boys (c) vs Balls Mahoney & Spike Dudley (ECW Tag Team Titles)
This wasn't much just the usual Dudleyz hardcore brawl with a few spots.
* 3/4

- Taz (c) vs Yoshihiro Tajiri (ECW World Heavyweight Title)
This was quite a mess but Tajiri did good in carrying the whole match while Taz just did his usual stuff, there was one cool table spot and that was about it.
** 1/4

- Impact Players vs Jerry Lynn & Rob Van Dam
This was a decent match with the Impact Players working on Lynn building up for a comeback from RVD, RVD then just did his usual spots and the match kinda died from there.

Bret Hart: The Best There is, Best There Was & Best There Ever Will Be (Disc One) Review

Bret Hart: The Best There is, Best There Was & Best There Ever Will Be (Disc One)

- British Bulldogs vs Hart Foundation
This was a great match, there was a decent story going with the heels working on Davey Boy and overall nice work from all four guys. The ending was lame as they didn't really flow into a finish and the time limit draw just seemed so sudden.
*** 3/4

- Hart Foundation vs Killer Bees
This one had a better story than the first one with the Foundation working on Brunzell quite a bit until the very end when Blair made a big comeback until another time limit, again this felt sudden but it was still a very good match.
*** 1/4

NJPW - Steiners vs Fujinami & Iizuka Review

NJPW -Steiners vs Fujinami & Iizuka

- Koji Kanemoto & Osamu Nishimura vs Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan
This was a good match with very young Tenzan/Kojima/Nishimura showing very good skill as young lions putting on a good showing with nice psychology with Kojima & Tenzan standing out more.
** 3/4

- The Steiner Brothers (c) vs Tatsumi Fujinami & Takayuki Iizuka (IWGP Tag Team Titles)
Weird pairing in the Japanese team but whatever this was a solid match, not the greatest either four could have produce but it was good enough for the event they were at which was some mid-card at a WCW event.
