Al Snow vs. Bob Holly had a clean finish and Steve Williams dropping people on their heads so it worked. Holly looked better than Snow, who's slowing down and getting sloppy.

Mankind vs. Val Venis was textbook hometown babyface booking and it worked on its own basic level. Lawler stole ECW's best trick with his tirade asking the fans to defend the company against its detractors and ripping off their old slogan saying that they're not for everybody. The Outlaws vs. the Breed was good enough in spots and if they keep Jammes and Gunn together the tag team division will be respectable for the first time in a long time. These two, Hart & Jarrett and Kane & X-Pac (all for X-Pac) make four teams that can at their best have good matches and are over as sports entertainers. Add D-Lo and Mark Henry when Henry gets better. WCW's division is healthy itself with 3 teams that can wrestle great matches out of each other. Tag team wrestling is back, Bischoff! This week, anyhow.

Ken Shamrock and Viscera wasn't the worst match to ever not work. It was about as good as it can get with Mabel. Thank-you Ken.

The Godfather participated in yet another worst of Raw match and you can't get me to believe that the Intercontinental title isn't dead.

The main event wasn't as awful as the one over on the other channel but it still had Paul Wight slowing everyone down. Rock had to sell so that was cool in a minor way. The problem with Wight is that he's going to kill the main event all the time. Unleash the phantom moonsault already.
