    The Rock once told Billy Gunn that if The Rock punched him, he'd kill him. If he missed, the wind behind the punch would give him pneumonia and he'd die anyway. Tank Abbot took those words to heart against Jerry Flynn, that's why he whiffed those punches.

      Benoit didn't trust Sullivan not to screw him over on the booking if he resigned a long term deal with the company which is reasonable considering their history.

    I watched Brian Zane, from Wrestling with Wregret, cover this show for his Classic PPV Review series. Any time I pull that I up, I listen to him explaining all the backstage chaos that's erupting in WCW, around this time, because it's insane with all the things going all at once.
    Last minute match changes, due to injuries; Vince Russo walking out of WCW, before this show; many wrestlers threatening to ask for their releases, after Kevin Sullivan is put in charge; etc. Not to mention, the Radicalz leaving WCW, after this show is over.
    All this stuff happening, and it's only January. Really goes to show how 2000 becomes a wild year, for WCW, and there's still a lot more to come.

      Benoit had a “physical charisma” to his technical style that very few had. It wasn’t just a bunch of moves just for the sake of having moves. There was purpose and a “plot point” so to speak behind every one. Malenko was another one with this ability. And although they had better mic skills, if you just watch their matches from bell to bell, two others were Owen Hart and Kurt Angle. It’s on YT somewhere, but there’s old fan footage of a New Japan match from the mid-80s between Owen and Benoit that is the perfect example of this style. And is definitely worth watching.

      At the same time, though, I think it kind of says a lot that the Radicalz apparently never bothered to speak up for Konnan & just let him sink his own ship by never saying his actual ring name to Pritchard. I mean, come on, if Konnan truly only ever referred to himself as "K-Dogg" in that entire conversation then I'd argue that he got exactly what he deserved... and I say this as someone who has a lot of respect for Konnan.

Don't know the details but it looks like Buff and DDP had to improvise and that's why all three looked a little bit confused and legitimately pissed off.

      @@camerondalton1495 maybe but doing something doesn't always mean something good either. Since Russo came in, I didn't feel great about almost any storyline or character etc. Benoit and others were over due to their look or in the ring ability and not Russo's booking. Seemed like they wanted a change and yes they were happy about getting a shot at moving up but I don't think that anyone would be in favor of Russo long term. Some things were done right or had the right guy involved but the booking was just so chaotic and not good for the overall company

I'm not saying it was GOOD, but ratings were in the 3s the last few weeks and hey, you get a couple of things over and who knows? Just a disaster of a week for the company, setting up the infamous WCW 2000 ahead.
