The Tenth Retro Diary Flairiod

You didn’t think I was completely throwing in the towel, did you?

After much deliberation, I decided to stop the weekly retro diary process. It just became too much of a time suck, even when I switched over to different formats and typing out my notes during the shows. It was making the process a chore instead of fun. I wanted to do this project to relive the world of wrestling PPVs and analyze it as how wrestling history will go down and I got lost in the jokes, gimmicks and games I created to entertain myself. So, I’m still watching the shows and taking minimal notes (one or two pages) and tracking the categories that make up each Flairiod (the period of 16 shows to recap named after the Nature Boy and a very dated Bill Simmons idea). Here, I’ll still break down the highs and lows of the performers during this time as well as some brief show retrospection so you, the reader, has a frame of reference on my decisions.

Part of the reason why I didn’t want to throw in the towel is the time in wrestling history we are in: the thick of the Monday Night War and the dawn of the hottest period ever for the business. Who was stood out and who was fallen by the wayside as the world falls in love with this kooky little thing called “sports entertainment” in some circles? It’s the Tenth Flairiod!

 

Here are my Top 5 Overall MVPs for the Tenth Flairiod

1.      Steve Austin- What else is there to say at this point? It’s the Texas Rattlesnake’s fourth time at the top of the MVP heap for a Flairiod and I don’t know if or when it’s going to change. This feels like he’s finally reached his apex, but he hasn’t let up at all while becoming the man on top. His matches still have a zip and fire to them that’s refreshing for a main eventer and his charisma and connection with the audience is one of the purest things in wrestling history. (Ranked as number 1 overall MVP in Flairiod #7, #8 and #9, number 5 overall MVP in Flairiod #4 and number 5 disappointment in Flairiod #3)

2.      The Rock- Well, look at who finds himself right behind Stone Cold already! Nobody was pivoted from cringey to a bonafide superstar in such short time from one little turn. Rocky’s facial expressions, in-ring quirks and growing promo ability stand out in his embryonic stages. It’s no wonder he owns Hollywood. (First Flairiod appearance)

3.      DDP- You can never argue that the master of the Diamond Cutter rests on his laurels. After rising to main event status in 1997, Dallas has taken a backseat and become the lynchpin for match quality and upper mid-card excellence with his U.S. Title run. He always does a BANG up job. Get it? (Ranked as number 2 overall MVP in Flairiod #8, number 4 overall MVP in Flairiod #7, number 1 surprise in Flairiod #6 and number 2 disappointment in Flairiod #3)

4.      Jim Ross-By God, good ole JR truly is the voice of this era. He’s toned down the minor flaws in his game and provides such passion and insight into every event while building an incredible rapport with Jerry Lawler. Don’t be surprised if he’s a fixture on this list for the next few years as he becomes the GOAT. (Ranked as number 1 disappointment in Flairiod #2 and number 4 overall MVP in Flairiod #8)

5.      Goldberg- BIG JACKED MAN THROWING AND DESTROYING MEAT LET’S FUCKING GO HELL YEAH I WISH HE STAYED LIKE THIS FOREVER HOLY SHIT WHAT A BEAST (First Flairiod appearance)

 

Here are my Top 5 Overall LVPs for the Tenth Flairiod

1.      Ahmed Johnson- The hopes were so high for him not too long ago, but the Pearl River Powerhouse sadly goes out with a whimper and two of the most apathetic and depressing performances I’ve ever seen, particularly from someone once pegged as the future first African American WWF Champ. (Ranked as number 2 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #7, number 2 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #8 and number 5 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #7)

2.      Michael Buffer- I’m sure this fucker gets paid by the word because his lengthy, totally inappropriate (contextually) introductions and wasting so much money and time at the end of the shows. He’s supposed to set a tone and he sadly does in the worst way. He’s apropos of the WCW main event scene. (Ranked as number 1 overall LVP in Flairiod #9)

3.      Mark Henry- The inverse of the Rock thus far, the World’s Strongest Man came back from injury and became a heel and looks and feels totally lost in every spot he’s in. It will sadly take a long time for Mark to become even passable at anything in-ring, but at least we have Sexual Chocolate on the horizon. Right? (Ranked as number 4 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #8)

4.      Jeff Jarrett- Ain’t he a piece of shit? It doesn’t matter if he’s squelching on his WCW responsibilities, trying to be a serious “best wrestler in the world” type or going back to his country gimmick. He is T-E-double R-I-B-L-E. (Ranked as number 2 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #6 and number 4 disappointment in Flairiod #8)

5.      British Bulldog- Davey Boy Smith has one of the most alarming drop-offs in appearance, ability and importance over the course of one 16 show period. From being a spotlighted performer in the top heel stable to a bloated, plodding mess in two horrific appearances in WCW, it’s a dog gone shame what’s happened to him. (Ranked as number 3 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #6 and number 1 surprise in Flairiod #7)

 

Here are my Top 5 Uncrowned MVPs for the Tenth Flairiod

1.      La Parka- It makes total sense why LA Park had a big comeback over the past few years when you see how outstanding he was back in the day. He makes every second onscreen count with his dancing, dives and dangerous attacks. What a cool skeleton man that deserved so much more to do. (First Flairiod appearance)

2.      Konnan- We’ve had plenty of cases in this Flairiod of a change helping or hurting a struggling performer figure themselves out. K-Dawg definitely fits into the helping category. He finally fits into the nWo world now and he has leaned into his power and personality to allow the crowd to finally connect with him. His babyface run is imminent and I’m bout it, bout it. (Ranked as number 1 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #7 and number 3 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #9)

3.      Road Dogg- We didn’t know and I’m calling people to tell them that the beginning of Jesse James’ heel run alongside Billy Gunn is filled with LOL moments and a charisma on the stick that got him over quicker than 99% of people. Plus, he plays a great cowardly heel that you like to watch get beat up. (Ranked as number 3 surprise in Flairiod #6)

4.      Kane- He’ll have plenty of time to make positive and negative impacts on the shows he appears on, but his first impression has been a great one. One of the greatest monster heel rookie campaigns ever, the Big Red Monster has the little things down so quickly and finally found his way after being riddled with a dentist and impersonator gimmick. (First Flairiod appearance)

5.      Luna Vachon- Sable’s success should largely be attributed to the excellent work her foil put in to get her over. She’s crazy on the stick and hard working in the squared circle. She’s the highlight of the absurd package she finds herself in with Goldust. (First Flairiod appearance)

 

Here are my Top 5 Uncrowned LVPs for the Tenth Flairiod

1.      Kurrgan- Remember what I said about Kane not too long ago about great monster heel rookie campaigns? Forget about it here. The big man is so robotic and poor at anything but a sidewalk slam was obviously removed from the plans he seemed destined to fuck up because he was THAT awful in the few chances he got. (First Flairiod appearance)

2.      Raven- This may be unfair near the tail end of the Flairiod because the former Scotty Flamingo started putting on some good bouts with DDP, but it was a little too late to avoid this spot on the list. That’s because his promos are still stilted and odd and the early part of his WCW presentation made me think he was lame as fuck. He did nothing to dispel those thoughts until he took a whooping every show. (Ranked as number 1 disappointment in Flairiod #9)

3.      JJ Dillon- We’ve seen so many boring and improperly positioned authority figures since this period in time, but the former Horsemen manager was the patron saint of that bad trope. He adds nothing in each appearance and nobody cares about him because he’s boring. (First Flairiod appearance)

4.      Bill Alfonso- STOP BLOWING THAT GODDAMN WHISTLE AND TALKING LIKE THAT, YOU ANNOYING IMP. (First Flairiod appearance)

5.      The Sandman- Paul Heyman deserves a Nobel Prize for getting so many people to care about this drunken slob for such an extended period of time. Every Sandman match has the coordination of an infant penguin without any feet. (First Flairiod appearance)

 

Here are my Top 5 Surprises for the Tenth Flairiod

1.      D-Lo Brown- I better recognize! In every big Nation encounter, D-Lo manages to stand out by being the workhorse and busting out moves that you wouldn’t expect a man of his size to be able to bust out. I’m down with the Brown and that’s his own catchphrase in TNA, so I’m okay saying that. (First Flairiod appearance)

2.      Brian Christopher- He can be problematic like his father at times, but he can also be a shining spot of heel charisma and old school light heavyweight mentality that gets attention when the crowd and company couldn’t care less about the lane he’s been shoved into. I don’t think he’s Too Sexy, but I do think he’s too good for his spot at the moment and deserves more. (First Flairiod appearance)

3.      Rick Martel- I’m never a fan of the random grizzled veteran comeback because it normally takes away from younger talents with upside. In this case, I’m sad the ex-Model suffered a career-ending injury because he was really picking up momentum and being used in a smart way to get guys over while getting his shit in all at the same time. Au revoir and merci! (First Flairiod appearance)

4.      Bradshaw- He’s probably being a giant asshole backstage about his lack of chances as a sole, directionless Blackjack at the moment and I have to say I’d agree with him based on what we’ve seen him do. He’s entertainingly stiff and always trying to break out when he gets the chance to talk or play to the crowd. (First Flairiod appearance)

5.      Axl Rotten- Can you believe the OTHER Hardcore, Chair-Swinging Freak is just as underrated as a wrestler as his partner PLUS he can talk like a confident member of society. That’s a massive win in ECW during this era. (First Flairiod appearance)

 

Here are my Top 5 Disappointments for the Tenth Flairiod

1.      Sting- I will never give credence to Eric Bischoff’s sentiment that Sting wasn’t tan, in shape or in the right headspace to win clean at Starrcade 1997 and lead the company beyond that. However…I do see it with his awful body language, lackadaisical performances and misplaced character moments. He speaks random Spanish and crotch chops all the time! What a shame. (Ranked as number 3 overall MVP in Flairiod #2 and number 5 overall MVP in Flairiod #1 and #7)

2.      Owen Hart- The sad WWF equivalent to Sting to me during this time period, Owen seems like a beaten down man resigned to his job after Bret has left. He does NOT work as a babyface and I feel like a lot of his matches are phoned in. Maybe he took Stone Cold’s injury harder than it seemed? The Rocket is off his trajectory. (Ranked as number 1 overall MVP in Flairiod #5)

3.      Jerry Lynn- I sat and thought about what to say about Jerry Lynn for a long time and had absolutely nothing. I think that summarizes the negative charisma and popularity he has shown in ECW up to this point. (First Flairiod appearance)

4.      Goldust- I knew things were going to get weird when Dustin pivoted and dressed like what I assume half of American Horror Story’s characters look like. I figured his ring work or dedication to the craft would make up for it. I was wrong. I want to forget the name of…deep breath…The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust. (Ranked as number 1 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #4, number 2 surprise in Flairiod #9, number 4 surprise in Flairiod #3 and number 2 disappointment in Flairiod #6)

5.      Rob Van Dam- You can definitely see the potential to become the Whole Fucking Show, but his promos and matches feel like they take the whole fucking show at the moment and he’s not ready for it. He’s close, but all of the critical things people can point out about RVD feel justified as it stands now. (Ranked as number 2 disappointment in Flairiod #9)

 

Here are the rankings for the 16 PPVs in the Tenth Flairiod:

1.      Royal Rumble 1998 (ranked 26th all time)- It’s telling that no show from this era cracked the top 15% of show thus far because the focus is definitely on crazy stories over in-ring action for the most part, particularly in WWF. That said, the best of this bunch here is a great show building to the biggest show of the year effectively. The crowd is into everything and there’s such momentum between the Mike Tyson introduction, the next step in the Brothers of Destruction story and Stone Cold’s continued ascension.

2.      WrestleMania XIV (ranked 35th all time)- Probably the best Mania without a truly GREAT match, but it doesn’t matter because everything is cooking in terms of the company finding its Attitude. The celebrities are cool and funny, the stories are cutting edge and the crowd is ready for Austin, Rock, Sable, Taker, Foley, Trips and more to lead the way over WCW.

3.      Souled Out 1998 (ranked 39th all time)- After the biggest blunder in PPV history when you consider the scale and importance of the show, Souled Out was a good rebuilding show in terms of setting the stage of nWo dissension and letting the undercard really cook. Bret Hart’s debut, the emergence of Jericho, Raven, the luchadores, Booker T and dickhead Scott Steiner make this entertaining from beginning to mostly end.

4.      SuperBrawl VIII (ranked 41st all time)- Another solid San Franscisco SuperBrawl that made the crowd happy even if it devolves into typical LOL WCW main event nonsense. The importance of Scott Steiner’s heel turn, Juventud’s unmasking, Booker T’s badassery, Goldberg’s dominance and DDP killing it in the upper mid-card make up for all of that.

5.      Survivor Series 1997 (ranked 55th all time)- Probably controversial based on a couple of the truly horrendous elimination matches on this show, but the Montreal Screwjob makes this show fascinating to watch. Add Kane and Mankind’s underrated gem and Ken Shamrock and the Rock standing out and I’m a happy camper.

6.      Spring Stampede 1998 (ranked 66th all time)- An odd show with a hot crowd and mostly good/okay bouts but a smothering New World Order story problem. The twists and turns and fuckery of the top stars dampers it, but the Benoit/Booker T and DDP/Raven rivalries with Goldberg’s meteoric rise and Macho Man’s toughness eek this one into recommendation territory.

7.      Uncensored 1998 (ranked 70th all time)- Honestly, copy and paste what I said about Spring Stampede except replace Goldberg with Bret Hart and sprinkle in two totally abysmal bouts with Kevin Nash/Giant and Hollywood Hogan/Randy Savage.

8.      Slamboree 1998 (ranked 73rd all time)- The last of the recommended shows and it’s the most atypical WCW show of them all: a fun undercard with a main event distraction that’s bad and nonsensical. The poster of this show is the definition of mixed bag in the dictionary. The cruiserweight story and DDP narrowly beat out Eric Bischoff’s BS “match” with Vince McMahon and all of the other Hollywood vs Wolfpac shit.

9.      Unforgiven: In Your House (ranked 94th all time)- A bad show in between the ropes except for the main event that builds stories. It’s fine to watch as a total show, but you have to be a little better than a clunky Inferno match, a Jeff Jarrett concert, NWA crap and an evening gown match. It will get old quick.

10.   No Way Out of Texas (ranked 95th all time)- This show doesn’t make sense, but not from a storytelling aspect, but from the fact that I can’t believe the first hour of the show is real. If the incredible 8-man tag and good 10-man tag bring it up to a decent level, then the beginning is a D minus that ruins everything and highlights Vince Russo and McMahon’s bad tendencies.

11.   DeGeneration X: In Your House (ranked 97th all time)- The mood and attitude are in the right direction and the action is varied, but the mood and attitude is often misplaced throughout. A themed show around a group made to look weak didn’t work for the first Souled Out and it doesn’t work here, either.

12.   Living Dangerously 1998 (ranked 122nd all time)- It wasn’t a good time for Paul Heyman’s group on PPV in this post Barely Legal honeymoon era. I was hoping this would be the basement with only Taz versus Bam Bam as the saving grace, but it shows that gritty, hardcore edge has a limit. This show’s absurd tag team ending, bad WWF characters and lack of cohesion ensure ECW stays at the level they are at.

13.   Wrestlepalooza (ranked 143rd all time)- The fact that there’s no course correction on ECW PPV’s is disheartening. The building and tech and energy throughout are all awful and the stories are repetitive and messy. On top of that, matches like Shane Douglas/Al Snow and RVD/Sabu are either complacent or not as exciting as they should be. This is second rate and not worthy of a PPV.

14.   World War 3 1997 (ranked 145th all time)- One of the most boring wrestling events I’ve ever seen. This was Thunder before Thunder. It poorly sets up Starrcade and fully kills any hopes of the 3-ring battle royal to be important or cool. This is the show that shows they are on the verge of losing the battle.

15.   November to Remember 1997 (ranked 148th all time)- The bottom falls out on this show for the Land of Extreme. The booking decisions are terrible, the in-ring action is messier than some of the stars’ appearances themselves and a low class M.O. that feels torturous at times.

16.   Starrcade 1997 (ranked 151st all time)- An all-time bomb that has been analyzed to an exhaustive degree and it earns its reputation. What should have been the death knell of WWF became the death knell for WCW thanks to all of the card changes, mistakes and poor action. THEN you get to Hogan fucking Sting over and Bret Hart’s debut and I’m starting to think it should be even lower in the bottom 10 all time.

Here are some of the other things I’m tracking

Billy Gunn has been a total Bitchcake 97% of the time. That’s an improvement!

Ric Flair’s top rope success rate barely moved and sits at 45%.

Triple H has appeared to be THE guy 36% of the time and done something to surprise me 64% of the time. This is another one to watch as he takes over DX in the next Flairiod.

The Undertaker added four Tombstones and it’s looked like death 59% of the time. Kane added five and it’s looked like death 67% of the time.

DDP has hit 25 Diamond Cutters, but Stone Cold has hit the Stunner 29 times. Buh Buh Ray Dudley and Mikey Whipwreck have started dishing out their versions aplenty as well.

You can predict what happens with Chris Benoit 81% of the time.

The Rock has smelled like his first SNL hosting gig, a couple of his funniest parts and a couple smaller, but important, roles in terms of what he can do as an entertainer.

Rick Steiner joined the ‘MVP and LVP” list.

Now that Al Snow has tasted victory, Hugh Morrus has the worst record actively at 0-7. Goldberg and RVD are both undefeated at the moment.

This was another 50/50 split in terms of shows being recommended or not recommended. No show cracked the top 25, but 4 shows cracked the bottom 20. It’s an important time in wrestling history for storytelling and over-the-top ideas, but you can really feel the pressures of top stars in one company and the preferences of one writer negatively impact the overall quality of shows based on the workrate either taking a backseat OR not being a showcased priority.

Our next Flairiod might change that as we spend its entirety in 1998. Bischoff opens the checkbook for more basketball players and a comedian, Warrior arrives and leaves in the blink of an eye, Austin versus McMahon rages on with some Taker and Kane sprinkled in, the Rock and Triple H tear down MSG with a yellow ladder, ECW rebounds with its best PPV ever and the WWF gives the UK its own show. Oh, and Mick Foley makes sure his name will live forever inside, on top and at the bottom of Hell in a Cell.
