Two And A Half Marks

New music, new day, No Mercy 2017, and the same Marks. We all remember this PPV for one reason: John Cena absolutely punking Roman Reigns on the mic on the build to their match. The match delivered, but it was far from the only one. Jason Jordan showed why he looked like Kurt 2.0, the Woman's *insert better Fatal 5-Way Name here* for the RAW title killed it, and Cesaro got a surprise lobotomy from his two front teeth.

While it seems we have been unfortunate every time we head to the Attitude Era, we finally got something worthwhile and memorable. Lots of memorable and iconic tag teams, Bubba Ray Dudley's obsession with Trish Stratus and wood, and just a couple of Canadian Chris's duking it out make up most of the entertaining undercard. In the main event, The Rock is counting on his biggest rival Stone Cold in order to combat the McMahon-Helmsley alliance for the WWE Championship.

Black and Gold NXT, has there ever been a better combination of story-telling, talent, and presentation? Even with *checks notes* EIGHTY PERCENT of this card no longer with WWE, for several reasons, this card is peak NXT content. Redebuting the WarGames match, a perfect by all accounts conclusion to Aleister Black & Velveteen Dream's rivalry, and a highspot 4-Way for the Women's Title.

Here we are, the conclusion of the nWo storyline, the final collision between Sting and Hollywood Hogan. WCW's greatest storyline, culminating at their biggest event of the year, Starrcade. How could they screw this up? Well, pretty spectacularly in the most boring fashion. A classic nWo overbooked mess from top to bottom, including 27 minutes of Buff Bagwell and Eric Bischoff matches. After Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko set the tone early, nothing else really comes close to matching their energy.

MARK. IT. DOWN. Let's get to the weird. COVID made us all a little crazy, but maybe not as crazy as Ethan Page. As his IMPACT contract was coming to an end, Page had an idea that would make Matt Hardy blush: he would feud with HIMSELF. Thus, Karate Man was born, deep within Page's psyche, leading to the last time Ethan Page would be seen alive (on IMPACT).

MARK. IT. DOWN. Showcasing women's wrestling in this series is long overdo, so let's toss out one of the best matches ever, no filters necessary. Big Bad Aja Kong faced off with "Flying Angel" Manami Toyota in the first round of the V*TOP Five Star Tournament at Big Egg Wrestling Universe 1994, but this was a match fit for the finals. Tremendous heat, insane moves, and Japanese tables, this match had it all. Kong v Toyota: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wANjnGYUdvo&ab_channel=suspectTV.

Get it, "Souled" Out, Sold Out? Anyway, after the fallout that was Starrcade 1997, WCW tried to kick start 1998 with this nWo influenced PPV. While the World Title drama is mentioned, the main event was... Lex Luger v Macho Man in a non title bout that lasted 7 minutes. This despite having a wonderful Flair-Hart match on the card. We also had some incredible luchador action, Jericho and Mysterio making lemonadel, nWo overbooking, and Benoit looking like the Bryan Danielson prototype.

WE BACK! We take another Bash at the Beach off the board, this time the 1994. Headlined by Ric Flair vs Hulk Hogan in a dream match that isn't revered as such, WCW loaded up with enough stars to make Vince blush. Antonio Inoki, Steve Austin, Ricky Steamboat, Vader, Shaq, Mr. T, Kevin Sullivan *record scratch* Kevin Sullivan? Also, much like how "Hogan Must Pose", "Marks Must Wax Poetic About Regal".
