Retro Raw & Nitro 9/13

Raw #329
Russo left this week. Jim Cornette and Pat Patterson book the show this week, still doesn't stop Raw from being awful.
Down the road (no idea when) WWE brings in a guy who used to plan out soap operas and plans out the entire year of 2000. That's why 2000 was such a good year for WWE.
The story line now is that everyone wants to kill Triple H.
Linda McMahon is now a character on TV. 19 years later she is a member of The White House Cabinet.
At one point Rock fought with Undertaker backstage, both wearing sunglasses, and their sunglasses didn't fall off once. (that's one of the highlights of the show)
Jeff Jarrett beat up Mae Young. In hindsight this is such a distasteful idea. At least the world knows that Mae Young was a total badass, and could've beat most of the roster back in her prime.
There is so many story lines on this show that you know aren't going anywhere.
Undertaker cut another one of his "hangin' and bangin'" promos. Since Biker Taker sucks we're not gonna see cool Undertaker until 2004. (or 2023 if these reviews keep going)
They announce the Kennel from Hell, where there is a steel cage inside a hell in a cell with dogs in between.
Joey Abs said that he is Stephanie's ex boyfriend. Preposterous.
Austin is back temporarily. 



Nitro #208
Bischoff is officially gone so Nash is in charge this week, and that means that next week is the debut of VINCE RUSSO.
Russo will kill the show, but in killing it, it will be so bad that it'll become watchable.
Flair is back.
A whole lot of nothing happened on this show.
The fans hate Sid now.
Goldberg is now in a feud with Sid.
The ICP are the best part of this show, that's how bad it is.
Chris Benoit cut a promo talking about "the demons in his mind." This was bad. It was really uncomfortable.
Rick Steiner fought Chris Benoit in a great match.
Eddie Guerrero fought Perry Saturn in another great match.
Berlin fought Buff Bagwell in a third consecutive great match.
It's almost like Kevin Nash knew had to make a wrestling show.
Sting is a heel now, and it surprisingly works.
