Live from Atlanta, GA

Airdate: January 4, 1999

Attendance: 38,809 (34,788 paid)

Hosted by Tony Schiavone, “Iron” Mike Tenay, Larry Zbyszko, & Bobby “The Brain” Heenan

Will Goldberg reclaim the World title? What’s new with Hogan? What’s up with Elizabeth? With Flair now in charge of WCW, what’s next for the Four Horsemen? Will Saturn defeat Jericho? Who wins the Texas tornado match? And what’s on Wrath’s mind? For the third time in six weeks, Nitro’s held in a dome. With a hot crowd, how will WCW respond?

To begin the show, the Nitro Girls dance in the ring wearing gold.

As confetti and balloons fall from the rafters, Schiavone mentions that “Hollywood” Hogan will be here later. Furthermore, he states that the grand prize winner of the Nitro Party contest Howard Kanitski(?) with family and friends are in a luxury box here in the Georgia Dome.

From the suite, Jimmy Barron interviews Howard and friends who are rooting for Goldberg tonight.

Match 1: Hugh Morrus (w/ Jimmy Hart) versus Glacier

Highlights:

In case you’re wondering why Morrus is again clogging up space on WCW TV, he gave notice, so WCW paired him up with Hart to appease him. Morrus reversed an Irish whip but ate a thrust kick. When he reversed a cross corner whip, Morrus powerslammed him. Glacier swept Morrus’ leg, yet Hart jumped onto the apron.

As Glacier grabbed Hart, Morrus charged at him. He inadvertently blasted Hart when Glacier evaded him. Morrus reversed another Irish whip, but Glacier leapfrogged him. After he clotheslined the BEJEEZUS out of Glacier, Morrus mounted the top turnbuckle. He launched a No Laughing Matter and pinned Glacier at 3:46.

Rating: *

Summary: Showcase match for Morrus.

We revisit the limousine celebration following the PPV. Next, the Flair interview from last week is shown. Bischoff’s warmup session follows as well as the BORING medical evaluation. Afterward, highlights of the Flair-Bischoff match are shown, and Flair becomes President of WCW for 90 days.

Opening montage.

In the parking lot, Arn Anderson escorts the Fliehr family and Horsemen into the Georgia Dome. Isn’t that the future Charlotte?

Everyone involved walks through the Dome and into the ring. As “Mean” Gene Okerlund interviews him, Ric Flair refers to Eric Bischoff as a “tyrant.” He calls out Bischoff who reluctantly strolls to the ring. As Flair addresses him, he refuses to fire Bischoff despite being emotionally dismantled by him. Instead, he reassigns Bischoff to be under Schiavone.

Bischoff claims that Flair can’t do that while Arn cackles. After Flair sentences Bischoff to the broadcast area, we revisit the instance when Bischoff fired referee Randy Anderson. Flair summons Anderson to the ring and rehires him at “double the salary.” Where can I get a deal like this? Next, he sanctions himself in a handicap match against both Curt Hennig and Barry Windham at the PPV.

Conversely, David Fliehr steps up to the microphone and requests to be his partner for the match. Although Flair says David’s not ready, Arn speaks up for David. Flair accepts with a hug. Aw.

Bischoff replaced Tenay for the remainder of the show.

Match 2: Booker T versus Emery Hale

Highlights:

Booker T reversed an Irish whip and caught Hale with a back elbow. As Booker T applied the brakes on a cross corner whip, he dealt Hale a spinebuster. He missed an elbow drop but recovered with a spinaroonie. When he flattened Hale with a Harlem sidekick, Booker T mounted the top turnbuckle. He connected with a missile dropkick and pinned Hale at 1:00.

Rating: ½*

Summary: Showcase match for Booker T.

At the entrance, the Nitro Girls dance in black.

Match 3: Norman Smiley versus Chavo Guerrero (w/ Pepe)

Highlights:

This was a rematch from last week. Hopefully, they don’t horse around as much this time. When Smiley reversed an Irish whip, Chavo escaped a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and clotheslined him. He dropkicked Smiley down to the floor and rode Pepe around the ring. As Smiley returned to the apron, he ultimately guillotined Chavo with the top rope. He dealt Chavo a swinging slam yet mysteriously stared down Pepe.

After he powerslammed Chavo, Smiley got 2. Chavo rebounded with a rollup for 2. While he hooked a sunset flip, Chavo got another 2. Smiley unloaded a back elbow and followed with a dropkick that sent Chavo reeling to the floor. Thinking that he had time to dance, Smiley performed the Big Wiggle.

Chavo mounted the top turnbuckle and stymied Smiley with a missile dropkick. Botching a springboard maneuver, Chavo recovered enough to take down Smiley for 2. Smiley fed Chavo a back elbow and attempted a Norman Conquest. Escaping, Chavo shimmied through Smiley’s legs, hooked another sunset flip, and pinned him at 4:00.

Rating: **

Summary: Notwithstanding the lack of horsing around, Smiley got sidetracked trying to perform the Big Wiggle. Chavo, unfazed, took advantage and scored an impressive victory. The botch, unfortunately, cost the rating a smidge.

After the match, Smiley attacks and suplexes Chavo. He swing-slams Chavo and tosses Pepe in his face.

Skittles sponsors the replay.

Match 4: The “Crippler” Chris Benoit versus Horace

Highlights:

Horace gave Benoit a cross corner whip but came up empty on his follow-through. As he reversed a cross corner whip, Horace followed with a corner clothesline. Benoit ducked a clothesline and dealt Horace a pair of German suplexes. When Horace blocked any further attempts, Benoit hung him out to dry on the top rope. He tried to suplex Horace from the apron back into the ring but got suplexed to the floor instead.

After he launched a tope suicida, Horace tossed Benoit back into the ring. He dealt Benoit a short-arm clothesline, landed an elbow drop, and got 2. While the Atlanta faithful informed him that he indeed “sucks,” Horace split Benoit in two with a backbreaker. Horace mounted the top turnbuckle, but Benoit caught, joined, and superplexed him from the top rope. Amazing!

Mounting the top turnbuckle, Benoit connected with a diving head butt. Horace used momentum and tights to send Benoit face-first into the top turnbuckle. Upon demolishing him with a shoulder breaker, Horace got 2. Horace attempted to suplex him, but Benoit countered with a Crippler Crossface. With Horace’s tapping out, Benoit won by submission at 3:58.

Rating: ***

Summary: Solid back-and-forth contest where one wise counter made all the difference for Benoit.

Backstage, Atlanta’s finest arrest Goldberg despite all the charity work he does. He claims the charges are “bogus” and remains innocent. While he gets handcuffed, they escort him out of the stadium.

HOUR #2!

Following a commercial break, Atlanta’s finest place Goldberg inside a police car. Nash runs out to question what’s going on but gets restrained. As Nash asks someone if it’s funny, Hogan laughingly believes Goldberg is “guilty.” Meanwhile, detectives are questioning Elizabeth. I don’t like the smell of this at all.

Match 5: Chris Jericho (w/ Ralphus) versus Saturn

Highlights:

Saturn clotheslined Jericho and followed with a leap frog. When he fed Jericho an overhead belly-to-belly suplex, Saturn gave him a cross corner whip. Jericho floated over, charged, but came up empty. As Saturn unleashed a series of kicks, he blasted Jericho with a back elbow. He charged, but Jericho backdropped him to the apron.

After Jericho guillotined him with the top rope, he launched a springboard dropkick sending Saturn down to the floor. He migrated to the apron and dealt Saturn a flying knee smash on the floor. While Jericho snap-suplexed Saturn, a commercial break occurred.

Following the break, Saturn hooked a sleeper. Jericho countered with a belly-to-back suplex and delivered a delayed vertical suplex. Displaying the Arrogant Cover, Jericho only got 2. Saturn rebounded with a head-and-arm suplex and attempted a Death Valley Driver. Escaping, Jericho ate a T-bone suplex complete with Worcestershire sauce.

Anyway, Saturn got 2. He whipped Jericho into the corner and stymied him with an inverted atomic drop. In the process, referee Scott Dickinson became collateral damage. Saturn attempted a springboard maneuver, yet Jericho placed Dickinson in harm’s way. Nefarious!

Kicking Saturn WAY DOWNTOWN, Jericho soared with a Lionsault. Jericho attempted a LionTamer, but Dickinson arose and called for the bell. Who won? Climbing out of the ring, Dickinson declared Jericho the winner at 5:45 shown.

Rating: ****

Summary: Great match with tons of psychology and workrate, but what’s up with that finish?

From the nearest police precinct, Goldberg gets escorted to a room by officers. They read him the charge—aggravated stalking—filed by Elizabeth. Seriously?

At the entrance, the Nitro Girls dance in purple while Zbyszko coins his best statement ever— “this is the fifth time (Elizabeth’s) tried to be a Miss.”

From the Nitro Party luxury suite, these guys are drunk and nutso.

Backstage, detectives interview Elizabeth regarding the alleged aggravated stalking. She describes that Goldberg’s everywhere she goes not only at work but also the gym.

LWO PARTY: In a pre-taped vignette, Eddie and the rest of the lWo are having a fiesta con las mujeres y los automoviles. The lowriders are bouncing, and everyone’s loco. A mariachi band plays while La Parka stays in mask/character. The rest of the lWo is bored out of their gourd while Eddie soaks up all the attention from the women. While he takes El Dandy’s spot at the poker table, Eddie steals the money. He incites the crowd about the lWo to end the segment.

POINT OF ORDER: As I mentioned in last week’s reflection, Eddie suffered significant injuries in a major automobile accident and won’t return to the ring until June. This video could be viewed as an “Adios” to the lWo.

Match 6 (Texas tornado): Kidman & Rey Mysterio, Jr. versus Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis

Highlights:

Despite the “rules,” the match began like a regular tag team affair. Not like that, you perverts. Each wrestler blocked a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, yet Psiscosis dealt Kidman a sit-out gourdbuster. As Guerrera reluctantly tagged in, Kidman dropkicked him twice. Kidman missed a third dropkick, so Guerrera attempted a bulldog.

When Kidman countered with an atomic drop, Mysterio tagged in. Mysterio mounted the top turnbuckle and caught Guerrera with a flying headscissors. After Mysterio vaulted him, Guerrera got annihilated with a BK bomb. Mysterio got 2. While Guerrera reversed an Irish whip, Mysterio spun out in the ropes.

Guerrera vaulted him to the apron, but Mysterio, with help from the top rope, overtook Guerrera to the floor. Returning to the apron, Guerrera connected with a springboard dropkick. Psicosis tagged in and launched a guillotine leg drop to Mysterio from the ring to the floor. Mounting the top turnbuckle, Psicosis hammered Mysterio with a double axe handle. Guerrera tagged in, gave Mysterio a cross corner whip, and tried to whip Psicosis into him.

Unfortunately for Psicosis, Mysterio moved, so he came up empty. Mysterio fed Guerrera a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, yet Psicosis prevented Mysterio from tagging out. Paying tribute to Eddie, Guerrera split Mysterio in two with an over-the-shoulder backbreaker and got 2. Psicosis tagged in, mounted the top turnbuckle, leaped, but ate a dropkick from Mysterio.

Hot tag Kidman.

Stymying Guerrera with his own flying headscissors, Kidman ate a double axe handle from Psicosis. SNEAKY! Los rudos attempted a double-team, but heel miscommunication exploded like a shaken soda bottle.

Taking both rudos down with a combination head- and leg-scissors, los technicos double-clotheslined them over the top rope to the floor. They mounted adjacent top turnbuckles and soared with stereo topes onto los rudos. Tagging in, Mysterio practically decapitated a Kidman-hoisted Psicosis with a springboard clothesline for 2. Impressive!

Mysterio attempted an Asai moonsault, but Guerrera caught and demolished him with a Juvi Driver for 2. Crotching Psicosis on the top turnbuckle, Mysterio fell victim to an inadvertent missile dropkick from Kidman thanks to a Guerrera counter. Psicosis remounted the top turnbuckle and obliterated Mysterio with a guillotine leg drop. In the meantime, Guerrea disposed of Kidman via a clothesline over the top rope to the floor. 1-2-3. Psicosis and Guerrera won at 7:35.

Rating: ***

Summary: Fascinating pseudo-lucha libre contest where babyface miscommunication ultimately led to a victory by los rudos.

Back at the precinct, the officer mentions that Elizabeth keeps seeing him at the arenas, hotels, and the gym. Goldberg clarifies that they WORK TOGETHER, so they’re supposed to be at the arenas. WCW schedules their hotel stays; thus, that’s why they’re in the same hotels. Furthermore, he OWNS the gym where she works out. This is so insipidly stupid. He tries to leave, but the officers quickly subdue him.

HOUR #3!

At the entrance, Okerlund interviews Nash who believes “Goldberg got screwed” at the PPV. He calls Elizabeth’s charges “trumped up,” and accuses Hogan of creating this mess. Rather than face Goldberg who’s quite detained at the moment, Nash beseeches President Flair if he can face Hogan TONIGHT. I really don’t like the smell of this. Nevertheless, he calls the Hogan encounter a “warm-up” promising to grant Goldberg a title match “at the end of the night.”

Before the bookerman can schedule his own match, Flair joins him and believes that “Hogan’s pulling the strings.” He sanctions the match between Nash and Hogan should Goldberg be unavailable. Quite congenial for a wrestling authority figure, no?

Highlights from the World title match at the PPV are shown in black-and-white.

TV Rating: 5.1

Detectives question Elizabeth who changes her story, gets defensive, concocts a phony phone prank call tale, yet claims to be “the victim.” She wants Goldberg “locked up.” Did she just become the very first Karen?

In the ring, Okerlund interviews Hogan who gets booed out of the Georgia Dome.

POINT OF ORDER: While watching these episodes that have been edited by WWE, mistakes happen. “Voodoo Chile” by Jimi Hendrix was Hogan’s entrance music during this era, but obviously WWE doesn’t have the same agreement to use the music that WCW did. The editing for this episode was done so poorly because both the nWo music and “Voodoo Chile” play during Hogan’s walk down the aisle. Oops.

Nonetheless, Hogan states he intends to say goodbye to all his longtime fans and announce his Vice-Presidential running mate; however, he changes his mind, refers to Goldberg as a “sexual deviant,” and runs down Nash. Hogan continues by saying he’ll have “one last retirement match” and taunts the Wolfpack.

PUMP THE BRAKES: At this point, Schiavone, completely out of character, says the following prior to the commercial break:

“If you’re even thinking about changing the channel to our competition, fans, do not. Because we understand that Mick Foley, who wrestled here one time as Cactus Jack, is going to win their World title. HA! That’ll put a lot of butts in the seats.”

History has told us that the concept for this out-of-character rant wasn’t his. Instead, it was his “current” broadcast colleague Eric Bischoff. We’ll see if it affects the ratings battle.

Get the WCW Mastercard NOW!

Earlier today while backstage, Jericho tells referee Scott Dickinson to disqualify Saturn “if he touches you.” A-ha!

Prior to the next match, BPP grabs the microphone and rattles off his catchphrase. He complains about being censored while Bagwell pantomimes Flair’s “heart attack.” Regardless, BPP calls out Konnan who makes his entrance. Konnan and BPP go nose-to-nose. While BPP confronts him, Konnan halts an attack from behind by Bagwell.

Match 7 for the WCW World TV title: Big Poppa Pump (champion w/ Buff Bagwell) versus Konnan

Highlights:

Konnan unloaded a ten-punch count-along and clotheslined BPP. When Schiavone REPEATED his reminder not to change the channel and acknowledged RAW is taped, Bagwell made Konnan HIT THE POLE. BPP joined and rammed Konnan back-first into the steel railing, yet Schiavone dissed the idea of Mick Foley being a “World champion.”

POINT OF ORDER: At this point in wrestling history, the main title in the WWF was known as WWF Champion, not World champion. I understand WCW couldn’t mention the WWF by name, but Schiavone’s lingo was incorrect.

As BPP caromed Konnan’s skull off the steps, Bagwell dumped K-Dawg back into the ring. BPP leveled Konnan with a Steinerline and landed an elbow drop. After BPP distracted referee Charles Robinson, Bagwell gave Konnan the business. How dastardly!

BPP dealt Konnan a belly-ot-belly suplex, hoisted him atop the top turnbuckle, and tried to join him. On the other hand, Konnan shoved him down to the mat. BPP charged but ate boot. While Konnan planted him with a tornado DDT, BPP gave him a cross corner whip but ate boot on his follow-through. BPP evaded a somersault clothesline, yet Konnan dumped him face-first into the mat. That looked SLOPPY.

Attempting a Tequila Sunrise, Konnan noticed Bagwell’s jumping into the ring. Konnan pummeled Bagwell, so Robinson called for the bell. As a result, Konnan won by DQ at 4:01. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Rating: *

Summary: This was a battle of the catchphrase men, and, for the most part, it should have been a battle over the microphone instead of the ring. Miller Lite, anyone?

Following the match, the heels double-team Konnan while BPP dumps Robinson over the top rope to the floor. The nWo referee, wearing a cast on his left arm courtesy of Konnan, storms the ring as BPP applies a Steiner Recliner to Konnan. Next, BPP retrieves a chair and WHACKS Konnan repeatedly with it.

WCW Souled Out ’99 will be LIVE on PPV on 1/17. Order NOW!

Prior to the next match, Wrath grabs the microphone while Bischoff FINALLY speaks. He bemoans “Goldberg’s jailbait.” Um, Eric, he’s 32 and FAR from being that. Preposterous accusations notwithstanding, Wrath describes himself with his recent history as being a “runaway freight train.” He wants COMPETITION and demands a man with “guts” from the back to face him.

Match 8: Bam Bam Bigelow versus Wrath

Highlights:

Wrath clotheslined him twice, but Bigelow low-bridged him on a third try. As the match segued to the floor, Bigelow rammed Wrath face-first into the apron. Bischoff continued to disparage Goldberg, yet Bigelow made Wrath HIT THE POLE. When they bounced from inside the ring to back outside, Bigelow made Wrath taste the steel railing. It must have tasted like Hell’s Fury at the Vortex.

He rammed Wrath back-first into the apron and fed him another sampling of steel. Waiter, add a Fat Elvis to my tab please. After he bounced Wrath face-first off the steps twice, Bigelow grabbed a steel chair. Bigelow attempted to piledrive Wrath on the chair, but referee Mickey Jay removed the weapon from the equation.

While Wrath countered with a back drop, he clotheslined Bigelow over the top rope to the floor. They brawled on the floor, and Bigelow almost committed felonious assault with the chair but thankfully missed. Calling for the bell, Jay threw the match out at 4:55.

Rating: *

Summary: HOSS match with zero heat. This COULD be a good match with proper hype instead of a random Nitro pairing.

Afterward, they brawl back to the dressing room. At least they didn’t skedaddle, right?

Detectives speak to Elizabeth again and find gaping holes in her story. As they namedrop Goldberg’s gym name for the THIRD time tonight, they’re prepared to book her for falsifying a complaint. With repercussions on the line, Elizabeth retracts her complaint. The bottom line is that Goldberg probably won’t make it back to the Georgia Dome for his World title shot. It truly was a ruse.

In the ring, the Nitro Girls dance in every color of the rainbow.

Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Jerry Glanville is shown in attendance. Where’s Elvis?

Match 9: Diamond Dallas Page versus Brian Adams (w/ Vincent)

Highlights:

Adams in the semi-main event? Seriously? When Adams slapped him, DDP responded with a leap frog followed by a slap. Adams sought refuge on the floor, but DDP dealt him a plancha instead. As Vincent restrained DDP from re-entering the ring, Adams gave DDP a cross corner whip. Adams pounded DDP out of the ring again and distracted referee Randy Anderson.

After Vincent shellacked DPP at ringside, Nitro went to commercial. DDP clotheslined Adams and followed with a swinging neckbreaker. While Adams blocked a Diamond Cutter attempt, DDP tried a ten-punch count-along. Adams refused to comply and nailed him WAY DOWNTOWN. Piledriving DDP, Adams got 2.

Adams applied a bear hug, but DDP rang his bell to escape. Thwarting DDP’s momentum, Adams dealt him a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for another 2. DDP countered a hip toss attempt with an Impaler, and both wrestlers remained on the mat.

Crushing Adams with a discus clothesline, DDP reversed an Irish whip. Adams countered a leap frog with an inverted atomic drop, gave him a cross corner whip, but ate a back elbow on his follow-through. Mounting the second turnbuckle, DDP creamed Vincent who tried to interfere. He demolished Adams with a second-rope Diamond Cutter and pinned him at 6:26 shown.

Rating: **

Summary: DDP trying to wrestle Adams’ style of match was NOT good. On the contrary, DDP’s been conquering larger-than-life wrestlers lately. Who will be the next mountain for him to climb?

Back at the precinct, Goldberg impatiently bangs the back of his head against the wall. The officer admonishes him for it and advises him that he’s free to go. Goldberg demands the handcuffs be removed and beckons: “Take me to the Dome!” Will they get him there in time for the main event?

TV Rating: 4.1

Match 10 for the WCW World title: Kevin Nash (champion) versus Goldberg “Hollywood” Hogan (w/ a

Highlights:

Could this be the culmination of the war between Hollywood and the Wolfpack? Buffer rumbled and rambled. As Hogan made his entrance, he wasn’t wearing his “Hollywood” garb but instead street clothes. Hmmm…

Nash made his entrance and had Scott Hall in tow. When Nash shoved him into the corner, Hogan literally tapped him on the chest. Nash fell like a pile of bricks. 1-2-3. Hogan won at 1:40. WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!

Rating: DUD

Summary: You cannot be fucking serious.

After the match, Nash, Hogan, Hall, and BPP embrace in the center of the ring. It was all a ruse…at the expense of the WCW World title.

Outside the arena, Atlanta’s finest bring Goldberg back to the Georgia Dome. He sprints back into the stadium while Bischoff gleefully crows about Hogan. As Goldberg hits the ring, he flattens BPP with a spin kick. Hall takes a turn but gets thrown. While Nash eats a thrust kick, Hogan blasts Goldberg from behind with the World title belt.

Goldberg reverses an Irish whip and spears Hogan to the delight of the Atlanta faithful. When Lex Luger jumps into the ring, he encourages Goldberg to jackhammer Hogan. Still, he clobbers Goldberg from behind, and it’s 5-on-1 against Goldberg. WE HAVE A HEEL TURN! The group assists Luger in hooking Goldberg in the Torture Rack, and Bischoff is excited beyond belief.

As they handcuff Goldberg to the bottom rope, Bagwell and Elizabeth join the party. Hall uses the shock stick on Goldberg again, and they rip the shirt off him. With Goldberg incapacitated, Hogan spray-paints “nWo 4 life” on his back. To end the episode, Hogan spray-paints the belt with “nWo” letters. Methinks nWo Wolfpack is dead.

TV Rating: 4.6

Conclusion: Bait meet switch. Why, WCW, why?

For the third stadium show in six weeks, WCW again underperforms before a huge crowd. They don’t deserve it. People paid hard-earned money to buy these tickets as Christmas gifts, I’m certain. WCW didn’t care.

Please allow me the courtesy of ranting about the World title “match.” This is a title that dates back to 1991 for some and 1905 for others. While Flair, Savage, Hogan, Vader, and Goldberg held the WCW portion of the title for the better part of 8 years, the prestige behind the title remained strong. For those who associate it with the NWA World title, add Harley Race, Sting, and Kerry Von Erich as prestigious champions regardless of the length of the reign.

My point is that WCW destroyed the credibility of their own World title with this crap.

Some would say the WWF did the same thing years ago. I recall The Main Event back in February 1988 as I watched it live. Hogan and Andre had a legitimate match with a bogus ending. Not a faux match where one guy lies down for the other without experiencing either exertion or pain. No, this was different, and not in a good way. WCW should be ashamed of themselves.

As far as the rest of the show, DDP-Adams had a predictable finish. Wrath-Bigelow had no hype, and by proxy no heat. Konnan-BPP was worse than expected as I’m sure BPP still isn’t 100%. The Texas tornado match was worthwhile if not a bit confusing since tags really weren’t necessary. Jericho-Saturn didn’t surprise me as both guys appear to be auditioning for the WWF. Benoit’s a wrestling machine, and he took Horace along for the ride. Smiley and Chavo seem to be building something, but it requires context.

I’m not going to spoil RAW here, but the Schiavone stuff was both annoying and completely unneeded. I will invoke the saying: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Well, twice, Schiavone begged viewers not to switch. To me, it’s reverse psychology.

I hope it was worth it, WCW.

What’s on RAW is WAR?

Final TV Rating: 4.9
