WCW Worldwide/MAD TV- 2/27/99

By The Cubs Fan

• Hey! WCW is suing the nWWWo for no good reason. Well, actually, they have a reason (the nWWWo is illegally using their trademarks) and I have an idea what the real reason might be (the nWWWo has too much fun pointing out what's wrong with WCW), but they aren't good, at least in my mind. But, make your own mind, visit the site and check it out.
• Anyway, I don't have any time to say anything, so let's get to the show.

• They start with the Bret Hart/Will Sasso stuff, leading up to their match on Nitro 2/15
  • Actually, MAD TV runs opposite of WCW Worldwide in Chicago.
  • There's supposed to be an arm wrestling match between the two on MAD TV tonight
  • I'll keep flipping back to see if I can catch it.
• Mene Gene interview with Scotty Riggs?
  • Whoa, we are offically reaching.
  • Gene keeps refering to him as Scott instead of Scotty.
  • "It's nothing but good days ahead."
  • "The Flock was one of the most misearble times in my life"
  • "If you look at [Raven], you can tell there's a need for soap"
  • "The one thing he needs is a good kick in teeth."
  • "I don't care if I win or lose, I just want to beat some sense into him."
• Locally, WCW Worldwide is brought to us by Dodge. Just in case you wanted to know.
• Next week, Superbrawl info. This week...
• Luchadors. Why? Because we got time to kill this week.
  • Juvie/Psi/Blitz vs Calo/Dandy/Garza from Nitro 2/15 is shown, or at least clips off it.
  • First time I got to see the Stardust Press.
    Awesome looking.
• WCW Unsensored Promo.
  • Wow, the 14th. That's a quick turnaround.
  • Hope they start setting up the card quick the next couple weeks
• We go back to the ultra-cool Adams/Horace vs Benoit/Malenko cage match from Thunder 2/18
  • Hey, they may just be killing time this week, but they're finding good ways to do it.
• Hey! Arm wrestling on Mad TV!
  • Hmm...I missed some stuff while watching the SUPER HEADBUTT~!, but, as you can read on RWIN, Michael Buffer was there, and ran through clips of the feud. They also added a new clip, of Debra Wilson and Bret Hart talking before the match on Nitro. Sasso apparently saw the convesation between the two (he was hidden from their view), but was also apparently stupid enough to continue trusting Wilson. Whatever.
  • Debra Wilson is in Bret's corner, with cruches.
  • Bret's groin pull has flared back up, he claims.
  • Bret backs off the first time they lock up
  • Bret has Sasso going down slowly
  • Bret's groin pull flares up, and causes him to lose to Will Sasso.
  • Sasso celebrates. Debra hands Bret a crutch. Gee, I wonder what's about to happen.
  • Bret breaks the crutch over Sasso's back.
  • Sasso crumbles to the ground, and Bret gets in a few kicks.
  • Security tries to stop Bret, but Bret just swings the crutch at them, which back them off.
  • Hey, it's Roddy Piper, what the heck?
  • Piper comes out of the audience, grabs some hairspray and into Bret's eyes. Bret didn't see him coming.
  • Bret backs off, then clotheslines the arm wrestling ref for no reason.
  • Bret exits stage left, with security following behind. Debra goes with him, even though Piper's saying he wants to talk to her.
  • Sasso leaves the other way, ignoring Piper as well.
  • That's good, we should all ignore Roddy Piper :)
