Raw #336
Big Show is now clean shaven.
Big Bossman used tear gas on Big Show.
Edge stole Terri from Matt Hardy so there was precedent for the Lita incident.
Stone Cold trapped Road Dogg's leg in a bear trap.
Stone Cold then trapped Billy Gunn in a snare.
X-Pac then gets crushed to his assumed death by the roof falling.
Jim Ross got married, its pretty sad hearing about how much he loves his wife now that she's no longer with us.
Stephanie's memory is back from a month ago (who even knows at this point) and she is now gonna marry Test.
Kurt Angle had a video package. I'm convinced he's the reason this show turns around. Kurt was so great. Oh, man. I can not wait.
Raw had an 18 minute overrun because USA Network would let them do anything at this point.
Nitro #225
Goldberg comes out and says that he has proof that Sid is a quitter. We never see the footage.
Medusa, who got eliminated last week, competed in the tournament this week.
No Randy Savage this week.
The Misfits showed up, as in the actual band.
Billy Kidman was filming Luger and Liz in the locker room when WCW forgot to cut away so Liz just store at the camera and started laughing.
Kevin Nash came out dressed up as Vince McMahon and it was so painfully unfunny.

Retro Raw & Nitro 10/25
Raw #335
I have no idea who the Tag Champs are.
Viscera cut a promo saying he wanted Godfathers hoes, but his mic kept cutting out, so it went like "I want... Godfather...sexy...want hoes."
At one point Jerry Lawler referred to Bubba Ray Dudley as "Bubba Ray Douglas"
Too Hot (Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmasta Sexay) debuted.
Ron Simmons is in a bar and a random guy calls him a "darkie." The random idiot takes one of the most brutal beatings I've ever seen.
Billy Gunn pinned The Rock in the main event.
A pretty boring show tonight. Unlike Nitro.
Nitro #224
Halloween Havoc was last night, but you would never know because they never tell you what happened. It's even worse when you remember that the PPV's at this point were only getting about 100,000 buys while Nitro was still getting around 3 million viewers (1 million more than raw in 2018).
There's now a 32-man tournament for the WCW World Title.
There was a graphic for the tournament that included "Luger vs. Steiner." Which Steiner? Who knows!
The Filthy Animals literally buried Ric Flair in the desert. No one helped him, including the camera man on the scene, the thousands of fans in the arena, any of the guys in the back, or the millions of fans watching the show.v The Filthy Animals then chase around Torrie Wilson trying to "molest" her.
Randy Savage came back in a glittery red suit and talked about how he's "well hung" and won't be "punked out by punks."

Retro Raw & Nitro 10/18
Raw #334
Kane has new gear now it's awesome.
Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young had a rap battle.
Mark Henry had another sex therapy session that was worse than last time.
Foley has his book coming out soon.
Al Snow tricks Foley into thinking that Rock threw away the copy of the book that Foley gave him in an awful segment.
Al Snow had the best match of his career with Van Venis of all people.
Last night was the first of the many Ladder matches involving a combination of Edge & Christian, The Hardyz and the Dudley's. Edge and Christian and the Hardyz came out barely alive.
This was the best Raw in a long time.
Nitro #223
Vince Russo is officially booking the show now. It is the most exciting Nitro since the peak of Goldberg.
Goldust is coming over as "Seven" soon.
This week marked the first appearance of Stacy Keibler.
Sid came out and asked to be called Mr. Viscous from now on.
Kimberly Page is trying to seduce David Flair for some reason.
A lot of stuff happened here, but none of it was worth remembering.
Jeff Jarrett is now on Nitro this week, which means that Sunday was when Ol' Slap Nuts held up Vince for more money.
Shane Douglas did commentary, and at least he's a better talker than a wrestler.
A random backstage segment where Leg Luger found an unconscious Miss Elizabeth occurred, that didn't age well.

Retro Raw & Nitro 10/4 and 10/11
Raw #332
Russo leaves Raw over the weekend, while McMahon and the rest of the company was in the UK, without writing a show, so thats the excuse for the show sucking this week.
X-Pac and Kane broke up for the second time now.
I think the Rock N Sock connection broke up.
I think Terry Taylor wrote the show because during his interview of Jeff Jarrett he mouthed along with Jarrett's answers.
Foley came out and made jokes about the Catholic church.
These shows just keep getting worse.
Nitro #221
Goldberg arrived to the arena in a run-down Sedan.
Everyone's favorite, Shane Douglas is now here.
They announce on TV that Russo and Ed Fararra are the writers now, telling everyone that wrestling is fake.
Also how many people knew who Russo was in 1999?
Scott Hall is back, but knowing how history goes, it's not for long.
Goldberg and Sid are the only stars they have right now.
Bret Hart and Chris Benoit had the Owen tribute match this week. An amazing match, goes about 25 minutes.
The plan has not been stated yet, but Sid is trying to bamboozle Goldberg.
Raw #333
Gorilla Monsoon passed away this week.
Stephanie now has memory loss and forgets about her love for Test. Remember Russo didn't book this show.
X-Pac and Kane are a team again.
Rock was interviewed by Kevin Kelly and it was surprisingly bad.
X-Pac was getting beaten by two guys when Kane comes out to save him, only for X-Pac to yell at Kane for trying to help him.
Mark Henry is in sex therapy now.
Chyna fell 5 feet into a laundry hamper and came out bloody for some reason.
Nitro #222
Russo officially takes over next week.
The opens with Bobby Heenan broke down in tears saying goodbye to Gorilla. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Perry Saturn had a great match with Rey Mysterio
Meng and Konnan had a great match.
I just realized that Hugh Morris's name is supposed to sound like "humorous"
