HITMAN383 Rant for WWF Fully Loaded 2000

- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF Fully Loaded 2000. This was the show that had a triple main event, with three of the “old guard” vs. three of the “new blood” so to speak. (This is another I haven’t done a BUExperience on, and it was originally written in late 2000)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF Judgment Day 2000

- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF Judgment Day, 2000! This show took place in May, and was considered a kick ass show by all who reviewed it at the time, with the Iron Man Match being called “legendary.” Under those credits, I went out and bought it. A full $25.00 at Tower Video. $25.00. IT DAMN WELL BETTER BE LEGENDARY! (This is another one I haven’t gotten around to doing a BUExperience on, and this was originally written in October 2000. Fear not though, I have the Network now. I don’t have to rely on Tower Video to get shit done anymore)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF Royal Rumble 2000

- The WWF’s 2000 Royal Rumble show was the first show in a series of kick ass PPV’s the WWF produced in early 2000. When it first came out in January, it was heralded as an all time classic, with a kick ass Street Fight for the WWF Title. Let’s see how it holds up. (This one was originally written in very late 2000)

- Okay, I was just over at RS.com, and I’ve gotta know: WHAT? How did Scott find Beach Blast 1992 as Highly Recommended? Maybe we were watching different shows, because there is NO WAY that opener was almost ****, or the main event *** ½. Please note, however, this is NOT a knock at Scott. I just felt that show sucked so bad, and was shocked to see it get such a good review from someone as respected as Scott. Anyway, to each his own, I guess. (My opinion sure has changed on that one. Yeah, the opener is nowhere near four stars, but the main event is a solid three stars, there is a really good Sting/Cactus match, and a brilliant Rude/Steamboat Iron Man, so it’s not like the show sucks, or anything)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF No Mercy 1999

- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF No Mercy 1999. Good ol’ General J.D. of PCW fame has hooked me up with a couple tapes (this, and Fully Loaded 1998), and as long as he’s kind enough to continue doing so, expect a bunch of 1996-1998 WWF/WCW rants.  (This is one I actually haven’t done a BUExperience on yet, but it is coming. This version was originally written in early 2002)

- This show comes in the era RIGHT after Vince Russo left the WWF for WCW, and many people were claiming the WWF would fall without Russo. Hey, hindsight is 20/20 and all, but forget the nWo, the real poison to your promotion is Vince Russo! … and Stephanie McMahon, of course.

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF WrestleMania XV

- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF WrestleMania XV, dead in the middle of the strongest point of the Russo-era. Live, it was the greatest show I’ve ever seen. But almost three years have passed since then, and I’m ready to give it the test of time. (This was originally written in early 2002)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF SummerSlam 1998

- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF SummerSlam 1998! Well, it’s a few days late, but here it is SummerSlam ’98. Considered by many a VERY kick ass show, and rightly so. Lets see how well it holds up, eh? (This one was originally written in 2000)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF King of the Ring 1998

- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF King of the Ring 1998. A really famous show, that has been asked for a couple of times. I’m here to serve, damnit! In all honesty, I really do like this show, so unlike WrestleWar ’91, I have no problem watching it. (This was originally written in Spring 2002)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF WrestleMania XIV

- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF WrestleMania XIV. This never struck me as being a great show, but I have been known to be off on initial judgments until I actually sit down and review it. We’ll see if this fits into that category. (This was originally written in 2001)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF Royal Rumble 1998

- Okay, I picked this one up at TOWER Video this week. (Tower Video? Holy shit. Must have been the one across the street from the Blockbuster Video) Lets see if it's any good. This is considered the "turnaround" show for the WWF against WCW.  (This was originally written in 2000, when WCW was still a thing)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF In Your House: Badd Blood (October 1997)

- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF Badd Blood 1997! (This was originally written in 2000) Actually, forget that exclamation point … this show REALLY sucks. The only thing that saves it is the Hell in the Cell main event. And it saves it like NOTHING ELSE CAN, and is one of the best main events you’ll ever see … anywhere.

WWF Monday Night RAW (August 2, 1993)

Original Airdate: August 2, 1993 (Taped July 25)

From Alexandria Bay, New York; Your Hosts are Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan. Man, this building would be fine for a house show, but it comes off really weird on TV – looking like they’re wrestling inside of a factory.

From New York, New York; Your Hosts are Vince McMahon and Randy Savage.
