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.
