The Monday Nitro Workrate Report

A weekly look at what did and didn't work on Monday Nitro by Phil Schneider

Monday, August 31st, 1998

Big Daddy Dean Rassmussen's keyboard is busted and his report would just be the letter J over and over again. So I am pinch hitting for his Nitro report this week, and don't I get a plum. As this weeks unopposed Nitro sucked the meat rocket like few have before it.

What Worked
That old school Mid-Atlantic Arn Anderson interview was a cool flashback to when Arn Anderson was a redneck asskicker, and hey look Beniot is back. I like Chris Beniot

It looks like Wrath blew out Jim Powers knee which worked for me. Maybe Powers will become a personal trainer or something and stop infecting my television set with his feculence.


What Didn't Work
Jesus where do I start. Juventud Guerrerra gets a flash back to his Joe Gomez match as he tries, but fails to carry Evan Karagais (or however the fuck they spell his name) to any kind of match. Koragis looked really lost in this suckpot, as he comically blew things, including selling a shoulderblock about 20 seconds after Juventud hit it. Koragoues should be exhibit A in the Bobby "Hardwork" Walker lawsuit, as this white boy stinks even worse then the Hardworker and his suck ass, is pushing the cruiserweight champ to a 9 ½ minute match on Nitro. I did dig when Juvi got all pissed off and started punking Korogous, especially because Juventud is 22 and Kaeraegourous is probably 25, but Juvi still treated him like his prison bitch. I also liked the fact that they gave this so much time, but Kargis needs to take his spot blowing, creatine taking ass back to Los Power Plant for some more training.

Konan and Marty Jannety had an absurdly long match, that featured, not one, not two, but three chinlocks from Mr. Jannety. Marty busted out his 80's offense for a long time, and Konan gets the win. Another long but really bad match.

For some reason Disco v. Jericho, which was turning out real good, was given 3 minutes while they gave ten minutes each to the two previous piles of crap, Bishoff is booking the whole show now, Terry Taylor is stuck on Saturday Night. Hey Eric I will give you a big cooking pot and four boxes of baking soda to go away.

Eddie Guerrerro v. Brian Adams was an okay angle, but the fact that it is the best wrestler in WCW Eddie Guerrerro who is doing this I'm not going to wrestle crap really sucks. I mean you got Mongo, Stevie Ray, Duggan, Brian Adams, so many guys this would be perfect for, and you use on one of the few guys I really want to see in the ring.

The Shat comes out and kicks another good wrestlers ass with his devastating karate attack, drilling him with kicks looser then the Ed Leslies butthole. Miller is exhibit A in the defense of the Hardwork Bobby Walker match, cause if WCW was really full of bigots they wouldn't push this meaningless little shitburger.

I wonder if McGwire and Goldberg exchanged muscle building hints.

Love and Happiness, makes you do right makes you do wrong, Looove and Happiness. ..... I'm so tired of being alone, I'm so tired up on my own won't you help me girl ... Despite his numerous smooth soul hits, Al Green was unable to derail the social phenomenon that is GOLDBERG. There was an article about Goldberg and his affect on Jewish culture in the New Yorker this week. THE NEW YORKER, I am not shitting you. Years after his triumphant run with the Master Blasters Al Greene gets to push Goldberg to his longest match in months. Odd.

Bret Hart mails it in like he is at a house show. And the other three do what they do. Warrior comes out and poisions the NWO or something. Boy what a festering pile of vermin infected pig shit Nitro was this week. Mercy, give me Thunder or give me death.
