      There aren't too many guys that size pulling off Frankensteiners. He is in no way a high-flyer. Come to think of it is this the only time he pulled out some flash? I always see him as Strike, Strike, Lock-up. Then some gimmick like a chair or bat. 5X15 chain link cage... That's the great part of this series being reminded how good some of these guys were. Remember when Kayn didnt have a beer belly? When both HBK's eyes looked the same direction. Vinnie Mac being a whipping boy before Shane.

    I remember being shocked the first time I saw the chair spot in the Raven vs Riggs match when I was 15 and talking about it with friends the next day wondering if it was real as well. Raven was another wrestler who would become one of my favourites during this time and even more so when I first saw his ECW work years later.

      What was supposed to happen was after Raven drop toe hold on Riggs , Raven was supposed to recover for a little and then hit the Evenflow DDT and pin and win so their rivalry could lead to Riggs winning at some point and then join The Flock. You can hear how hard Scott Riggs hits the chair

    And that's Bret's final Raw match.
    I remember hearing somewhere that one way to get the belt off of Bret so he wouldn't have to lose it to Shawn, was for him to drop it here to Shamrock and I think if they did that could have worked of they booked correctly.
    Yeah Shamrock was new but he had that intensity and background that I would totally believed him beating Bret here; heck it wouldn't even have to be clean with Shawn interfering and accidentally costing Bret the title.
    It would have elevated the fued to the point where it didn't need the title anymore; just these two legitimately wanting to rip each other apart could have been a great way to sell the match.

      There was a video upload a few months ago. Where the guy running the channel had questions and answers throughout. He’s got no plans to do the Thursday shows, other than talk about how they would impact the Monday show each week.
      Although Smackdown has been a strong B show throughout its time and had a major impact on the Monday Night War. Thunder was a B show which was all but forgotten about. It was a show no one wanted, except for the executives at Turner Network, who were looking for ratings. There was no real effort put into the show. There was no real competition between the Thursday shows.
      In my opinion the Thursday shows were a mistake. From a fans standpoint. As much as I loved watching Smackdown back then up until the mid 00s. The problem was over saturation of the market. You had gone from, in the space of 3 or 4 years. One hour Raw and one hour Nitro each week. Along with a PPV each month, by each company. However the In Your House PPVs were much smaller than the bigger PPVs. By 1999, Raw had doubled in length and Nitro had trebled. There was also a 3 hour PPV every month by both companies. Now they also both had 2 “flag ship shows” each week. In hindsight this is when things started to nose dive. It was too much, led to burnout and later on is one of the reasons fans started to stop watching.

    You really should have your own TV show. Super underrated content comes from this channel.

    Another Thursday, and another great RTW episode. Your videos really are the best wrestling content on the interwebz, and a highlight of my week.
    Benoit vs Finlay was always a great match, regardless of the era. I just wish Finlay got more of a push. Dude was a beast.
