I thought that the hardest part of continuing this project without the weekly uploading of show recaps would be holding myself accountable. In actuality, it has somehow become easier. There are times when I watch two or three shows in one week because I don’t have to worry about the monotonous transferring from paper to screen on my reviews (because I’m a psychopath who has to write my notes down still). The actual hardest part has been the shows themselves and the constant battle of nostalgia versus fact.
This Flairiod (a structure of time made up of 16 shows I settled on as a good recap point titled as such as an homage to the Dirtiest Player in the Game and an old Grantland thing) really put my love of old wrestling to the test. This year in wrestling takes place during its arguably highest point in terms of television ratings, mainstream popularity and notoriety amongst lifelong fans. It is the height of the Attitude Era, but it is often taken as the apex of the industry. Sure, it’s popular for its place in time, but is it actually good? As you’ll probably tell in my following comments (and can probably surmise based on those intro), I don’t really think so.
That’s ultimately what this project is for: looking back and trying to create the correct narrative against the narrative that the winner of it all has put forth. There’s no better way to do that than analyzing the best and the worst of wrestling one little stretch at a time. So let’s do that now with the Twelfth Flairiod!
Here are my Top 5 Overall MVPs for the Eleventh Flairiod
1. Scott Steiner- If you’ve ever listened to one episode of Podswoggle, you are probably unsurprised by this declaration of love for Big Poppa Pump. I don’t think it’s unjust at all, however. During this stretch of shows, the Big Bad Booty Daddy really figured out his heel character and became totally unpredictable, enthralling and ridiculous. In other words, he was perfectly Scott Steiner. It’s a travesty that his body is in the process of beginning to totally betray him and he’ll probably disappear from the next Flairiod as such. For now, I’m hearing him and hollering all at once. (Ranked as number 4 overall MVP in Flairiod #3 and number 1 surprise in Flairiod #2)
2. Steve Austin- Just like our last Flairiod, this ranking isn’t an indictment on Stone Cold slipping or not being the pantheon level performer that he is. He’s merely serving a different role at times and he’s brought up so many others around him. What the Texas Rattlesnake does do in rhis period of time is extend his overall MVP lead and really cement his case for being the overall greatest wrestler of all time. He’s never giving anything less than 100 percent and always a genuine badass. (Ranked as number 1 overall MVP in Flairiod #7, #8, #9 and #10, number 3 overall MVP in Flairiod #11, number 5 overall MVP in Flairiod #4 and number 5 disappointment in Flairiod #3)
3. Rob Van Dam- It took quite some time for Mr. PPV to start showing his name, but his recent run as the unstoppable TV Champ has really catapulted him as the most exciting young talent in the wrestling world. His aura and cool factor are unmatched in this era and it’s a shame it’s never truly capitalized on from a bigger company (but I’m getting ahead of myself). (Ranked as number 2 disappointment in Flairiod #9 and number 5 disappointment in Flairiod #10)
4. X-Pac- In the 123 Kid babyface era of the New Generation, Sean Waltman was always a standout, but I never expected him to be such a standout as a babyface five years later with so much competition around him. It could be because he’ll be so loathed in no time flat due to bad booking, but you can make a legitimate argument that he’s only behind Stone Cold and The Rock at this time. His fire, in-ring skill and character work with Kane are always highpoints of the show. He is lighting it up in more ways than one right now. (Ranked as number 1 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #6, number 3 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #5 and number 5 disappointment in Flairiod #9)
5. Mankind- This spot probably would have gone to Vince McMahon if it weren’t for Over the Edge. Instead, Mick Foley takes this spot for something stupid in a totally different way. What isn’t stupid is his continued dedication and passion for giving the audience the best possible show. It doesn’t matter how much pain he goes through or permanently lives in. We are the ones having a nice day. (Ranked as number 3 overall MVP in Flairiod #4 and #8, number 4 overall MVP in Flairiod #11 and number 2 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #3)
Here are my Top 5 Overall LVPs for the Eleventh Flairiod
1. Michael Cole- It’s been truly wild living through the career renaissance that the current voice of the WWE has while I experience the future voice of the WWF routinely ruin big moments and lack any sort of comfort or voice with the headset on. He’s in a totally unenviable position based on who he’s trying to replace throughout this time. That said, he is extremely unready. It’s ironic that he’s so bad without Vince’s voice in his head and he’ll be worst WITH it for so long and it took Vince’s voice OUT of his head to become really good. (Ranked as number 2 overall MVP in Flairiod #11)
2. Buh Buh Ray Dudley- If I have to hear another long ass promo in a terribly put on accent, I might put myself through a table. Any reverence to this era of the Dudley Boyz causing riots is lost on me because I view it as sheer go-away heat. (First Flairiod appearance)
3. Big Boss Man- Ray Traylor is about to embark on the craziest time period in his career, but his return to the Fed has been nothing but failing upward in my eyes. His effort and boring schtick have been true slogs to get through as everyone else around him exudes either potential he never reached or prowess in-ring he has lost. Also, a possible hot take: I never liked the riot squad look. (Ranked as number 4 disappointment in Flairiod #4 and number 4 surprise in Flairiod #7)
4. David Flair- And I thought Erik Watts was a case of nepotism! At least Erik Watts was a collegiate athlete! David Flair has nothing to provide the wrestling business right down to his permanently confused looking face. Once again, this is just the START of presumed agony watching this man. (First Flairiod appearance)
5. Shane McMahon- This placement has nothing to with his in-ring ability. He’s shockingly solid in that regard. Instead, his inability to resonate as either a cool rich guy or an evil leader of a dark cult has hurt so many shows. This isn’t nepotism to the level of David Flair, but he certainly hasn’t earned any of the constant reps he’s getting as a wrestler or performer. (First Flairiod appearance)
Here are my Top 5 Uncrowned MVPs for the Eleventh Flairiod
1. Road Dogg- I remember a WWF Magazine article from this time period that really tried to put over the fact that Road Dogg could be the next singles star and I always thought it was laughable. I was wrong in hindsight because his promo work is still outstanding and he connects with the crowd like few others. His in-ring work is also underrated and he’s carried some tough situations on his charismatic back. Turns out, I didn’t know and I should have called somebody. (Ranked as number 3 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #10 and ranked as number 3 surprise in Flairiod #6)
2. Tajiri- Much like Scott Steiner, this is a longtime bias I have. Simply put, Tajiri absolutely rules, He is incredibly crisp and already understands simple ways to connect with the American audience like facial expressions and character intangibles. Just wait until he gets those cool black pants. (First Flairiod appearance)
3. Norman Smiley- The early days of the master of the Big Wiggle are fascinating because the crowd gets him right away and then he just disappears as the shows get worse. It’s a travesty because the future Hardcore Champion has his silly schtick down while still being way too accomplished of an in-ring talent for his spot on the card. (First Flairiod appearance)
4. Hak- It’s jarring to see how together and impressive the Sandman has been in a bigger environment. I expected him to be a total mess, but he’s instead anchored perpetual highlights on otherwise dismal shows and gotten over in a very unique way. Plus, he’s barely botched anything and seems to be clean. That’s always a positive. (Ranked as number 5 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #10)
5. Joel Gertner- Well, well, well…If it isn’t him, the quintessential highlight on the microphone that is just begging to be turn babyface and help Joey Styles out on the headsets. It’s Joel “the only tolerable part of the Dudley Boyz act and that, my friends, is an out and out fact” Gertner. (First Flairiod appearance)
Here are my Top 5 Uncrowned LVPs for the Eleventh Flairiod
1. The Undertaker- The Undertaker’s negative online reputation never made sense to me considering his stature at all times in the company, but it’s become crystal clear in his Ministry heel era here. He’s so fucking BORING by trying to be these ominous badass that does submission moves. His upcoming hiatus cannot come soon enough because he’s dying a slow death on every show at the moment. (Ranked as number 5 overall MVP in Flairiod #8 and number 1 disappointment in Flairiod #11)
2. Sable- She was insufferable as a massively over babyface. Now, she’s even more grating by gyrating and trying to be naughty. Plus, she still sucks in the ring and never does anything of importance despite her profile. (Ranked as number 1 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #11)
3. Big Show- Lazy, slow and uncoordinated, the former Giant has definitely shown why he had such a stain on him during his early Federation days. He carried over that attitude from his poor final days in WCW and makes me cringe with every overpaid moment on screen in his new environment. This one is an inevitability. (Ranked as number 5 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #8, number 3 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #11 and number 1 disappointment in Flairiod #7)
4. Bam Bam Bigelow- This one is almost as egregious as Paul Wight in terms of coasting in a new environment. This is not the standout athlete from WWF or the cool badass from ECW. This is an out-of-shape guy who got paid and decided to coast. (Ranked as number 5 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #5)
5. Judge Jeff Jones- For the charges of continually giving random hangers on too prominent a position in his company, I find Paul Heyman guilty. (First Flairiod appearance)
Here are my Top 5 Surprises for the Eleventh Flairiod
1. Sid- First of all, RIP you wonderfully bizarre man. Secondly, who would have thought that the Land of Extreme, known for its picky and workrate obsessed fans, would go gaga over SID and that he would actually thrive? I’m legitimately sad that he goes to WCW right after this because there’s money and excitement around his superstar, unstoppable presence amongst the misfits. (Ranked as number 3 overall LVP in Flairiod #3 and #6 and number 5 surprise in Flairiod #2)
2. Goldberg- Once the streak left him, I assumed The Man would slowly fade in terms of gumption and impact. Instead, I really feel Bill stepped up his effort and tried to evolve with the new challenge. His booking has been a disaster, but I honestly see someone who still has the people behind him and he’s putting in work that often gets taken for granted. (Ranked as number 5 overall MVP in Flairiod #10)
3. Hollywood Hogan- Another person whose booking hides some of the truth (and I emphasize some in this case because he had control of his creative), Hogan’s feud with Ric Flair was stale in every way except the genuine hard work it seemed Hollywood was putting into it. I honestly believe his level of engagement helped the gradual turn that took place before his injury. This will probably be the last positive feeling I have about the Hulkster when it comes to in-ring activity. (Ranked as number 4 overall LVP in Flairiod #4, number 5 overall LVP in Flairiod #11, number 1 surprise in Flairiod #1, number 2 disappointment in Flairiod #8 and number 3 disappointment in Flairiod #3)
4. The Godfather- Nobody will ever confuse Charles Wright for a worker that could have participated in the Super 8, but it’s confusing to me that people don’t give him more credit for being so much fun and boosting the shows he was on with his infectious personality and hard work. I’m on board. (First Flairiod appearance)
5. Torrie Wilson- It’s hard to forget the beauty, but it’s easy to take her charisma and personality for granted. Almost immediate upon debuting, Torrie was able stand out and show why she’d have such longevity just from being not another pretty face. She’s confident, delivers her lines and actions like a veteran and naturally has the crowd hooked because they all have eyes. (First Flairiod appearance)
Here are my Top 5 Disappointments for the Tenth Flairiod
1. Chris Jericho- The future Y2J is more checked out than a copy of Hocus Pocus around Halloween. I figured he would go down swinging before his jump to WWF, but he was instead coasting by and counting down the days until he’s (rightfully) free from the mess he’s surrounded by. It was honestly so bad that he’s just pulled from the last few events he’s available for. If only we were so lucky in 2024. (Ranked as number 2 overall MVP in Flairiod #11 and number 3 disappointment in Flairiod #8)
2. Justin Credible- He’s not the coolest. He’s not the best. He’s just Aldo Montoya trying to be edgy and it’s floundering almost as bad as the Portuguese Man-O-War with yours truly. (First Flairiod appearance)
3. Disco Inferno-. I fully regret giving him assumedly his first career kudo in the last Flairiod. As soon as his profile was inexplicably raised, he proceeded to cease anything close to resembling being a compelling character and just became that juiced up lifer that Cody Rhodes shredded decades later. (Ranked as number 1 surprise in Flairiod #11)
4. Lance Storm- If I could be serious for a minute…Lance Storm isn’t very good at the moment. (Ranked as number 5 uncrowned LVP in Flairiod #9)
5. Mike Tenay- As WCW has spiraled out of control, so has the Professor. Any insight and expertise he contributed has fallen aside for joining in the bickering, giggling and distraction that Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan permanently exist in. (Ranked as number 1 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #9, number 2 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #8 and number 5 uncrowned MVP in Flairiod #7)
Here are the rankings for the 16 PPVs in the Eleventh Flairiod:
1. Spring Stampede 1999 (ranked 25th all time-MVP: Scott Steiner, LVP: Scotty Riggs)- This is almost definitely the last WCW PPV that rules. Its reputation as such is earned via a great show that just brings the first with in-ring action, simple stories, no fluff and an invested crowd. If they were able to keep this up, they might have been able to turn things around. Now, this show makes me sad thinking like that. Cracking the top 25 is still an accomplishment and I won’t give Blitzkrieg all of the credit.
2. Backlash 1999 (ranked 67th all time- MVP: Steve Austin, LVP: Mideon)-The follow up to WrestleMania XV is a messy show in waves, but it’s also wild in fun ways and ultimately leaps and bounds above the Granddaddy of Them All on this occasion. The moving parts are good and the crowd is all in for everything that’s set up for the future (namely the next Austin/McMahon chapter via the Ministry). It’s also the only good WWF show in this whole Flairiod.
3. Superbrawl IX (ranked 76th all time-MVP: Scott Steiner, LVP: Roddy Piper)- This was a surprising show because it actually made sense, focuses on stories and has momentum despite a new batch of nWo overkill. The stage was set for the future (and ultimately gets torn to shreds) and it wasn’t perfect, but it was solid in terms of effort and continuity. This was the first (and penultimate) time in this section I thought that WCW was like WWF in 1997: losing, but better.
4. Living Dangerously 1999 (ranked 81st all time-MVP: Rob Van Dam, LVP: Antifaz del Norte)- A boring, but sensibly tame and classic ECW show. Of course there’s a little bad mixed in there, but it’s not a bad time because there’s typical cutting edge ECW there with RVD, Jerry Lynn and the rest of the next generation.
5. Guilty as Charged 1999 (ranked 85th all time-MVP: Terry Funk, LVP: Buh Buh Ray Dudley)- This was a better show than ECW had put on in some time. It’s nowhere close to perfect and there are still a lot of booking issues and the crowd is a problem in many ways, but it moves along nicely and the start of the Taz era is a decent step in the new year.
6. Hardcore Heaven 1999 (ranked 97th all time-MVP: Super Crazy, LVP: Cyrus)- An average ECW show can be refreshing. However, it means that great action is paired with silly booking and bad production. Honestly, this would be a recommendation if it weren’t for the worst audio/visual presentation and problems I’ve seen on any show thus far. This is bush league shit I’d expect two years ago. That said, the RVD and Jerry Lynn saga is stellar.
7. Souled Out 1999 (ranked 100th all time-MVP: Scott Hall, LVP: David Flair)- Before the better shows that followed, this was the best WCW show in awhile but that was more of an indictment of what came before it. This show was notable because it was a weird inverse of WCW lately-the main event scene worked and the undercard stories are stale and confusing. This was an improvement, but poor in-ring action ultimately left this one leaving me unsatisfied. Plus, it’s the start of the David Flair experiment.
8. St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (ranked 108th all time-MVP: Vince McMahon, LVP: Michael Cole)-This show stunk until the legendary Austin vs McMahon main event. The undercard is so blah that it drags three really hot angles in the main event scene down. The show was still better than I expected based on its reputation, but it’s a true slog to make it to its epic conclusion.
9. Royal Rumble 1999 (ranked 128th all time- MVP: Mankind, LVP: Big Boss Man)-The Royal Rumble match is my favorite thing in wrestling, so a show that features the worst Royal Rumble match ever is going to be an instant skip for me. The whole show does it no favors and it is only palatable for Mick Foley’s infamous stupidity. The build and story is all superb, but it plays out like a Vince Russo ADD nightmare.
10. Slamboree 1999 (ranked 133rd all time- MVP: Charles Robinson, LVP: Tony Schiavone)- A promising start disintegrates into a trainwreck with typical overbooking and lack of care about any rules whatsoever. All of the turns and non-finishes have started to actively piss the live crowd off. When non-wrestlers like Little Naitch and Gorgeous George are outperforming the big contracts, you aren’t in a good place. All of the Spring Stampede momentum is gone in a flash.
11. No Mercy UK (ranked 144th all time-MVP: X-Pac, LVP: Shane McMahon)- Even more of a glorified house show than the last UK show, this show basically feels like a vacation for everyone. I appreciated the throughline of Shane McMahon being on the warpath with his Corporate Ministry mission, but nobody is working hard on the stick, in between the ropes and creatively. I never needed to see this show.
12. Starrcade 1998 (ranked 154th all time-MVP: Eddie Guerrero, LVP: Eric Bischoff)- It’s never a compliment to say something isn’t AS bad as Starrcade 1997. That rings true for this show because it’s darn close. It’s filled with pointless, heatless matches and another all-time boneheaded decision with Goldberg’s streak ending. In the moment, the crowd seemed fine but it was all over one week later with the Fingerpoke of Doom. If it weren’t for the cruiserweights, this might actually have been worse than its predecessor.
13. Uncensored 1999 (ranked 164th all time-MVP: Kevin Nash, LVP: Jerry Flynn)- Uncensored has to be the most consistently bad PPV series of all time, right? This was a depressing regression from SuperBrawl IX because there’s no energy and the booking makes negative sense. The “First Blood” main event was a total embarrassment, Goldberg is nowhere to be found and there’s less life here than a cemetery. The WWF is still fun even when it’s bad. This is no fun at all.
14. Rock Bottom (ranked 165th all time-MVP: Owen Hart, LVP: Kurrgan)- A wretched In Your House without one true good match, this show has a seedy, grimy feeling to it in the worst way. I’m not sure if it’s the end of year malaise or people working hurt, but this is a flatliner of a show with an apropos name. What is it with shows themed to groups or wrestlers totally blowing?
15. WrestleMania XV (ranked 170th all time- MVP: Steve Austin, LVP: Michael Cole)- This is the third worst Mania ever and it really challenges the other two for the “crown.” What a torturous exercise with three ALL TIME BAD matches (Tori vs Sable, the Brawl for All and Hell in a Cell) and swerves and nonsense that lull the crowd into feeling absolutely nothing by the end of it. The main event and a couple random surprises save this from hitting the total basement.
16. Over the Edge 1999 (ranked 191st all time- MVP: Jim Ross, LVP: Vince McMahon)- Don’t watch this show. Ever. Even as a curiosity, it’s not worth the mental and emotional toll. It’s bad, sad and never should have happened because Owen Hart died in front of thousands of people and we were expected to just keep chugging along.

2. The Sandman- 47
3. Terry Funk- 46
4. Johnny Grunge- 34
5. Buh Buh Ray Dudley- 33
Here are some of the other things I’m tracking
Billy Gunn has been a total Bitchcake 96% of the time.
Ric Flair’s top rope success rate slightly fell to 43%.
Triple H has appeared to be THE guy 43% of the time (an slight decrease) and done something to surprise me 59% of the time (staying the same as last Flairiod).
The Undertaker added two Tombstones and it’s looked like death 53% of the time. Kane added one and it’s looked like death 50% of the time.
DDP has hit 34 Diamond Cutters, but Stone Cold has hit the Stunner 67 times (we are officially in spamming Stunner territory). Other important totals here: Buh Buh Ray Dudley is at 10 cutters, Spike Dudley is at 6 Acid Drops and two new men have joined the trend: Tommy Dreamer and Konnan.
You can predict what happens with Chris Benoit 76% of the time…still.
Vince McMahon and Kevin Nash joined the ‘MVP and LVP” list.
Hugh Morrus still has the worst record actively at 0-7 followed by Dave Taylor and Silver King at 0-5. Other active notably bad records include Psychosis at 1-10, Chavo Guerrero Jr at 2-10 and Disco Inferno at 2-15. Rob Van Dam has the best active record at 8-0-2.
As I said from the jump, the nostalgia of the era tints people’s memories for this time period. The facts are simple: there is only one show that cracks the top 25 all time in my eyes, only five of the 16 shows are worth a recommendation and four shows hit the bottom 30 all time. Unfortunately, I don’t see it getting better in the short term. I’m partially excited and partially in fear.
The next Flairiod keeps us chugging along in 1999 with WCW leaning on celebrities again to disastrous results, the Dudley Boyz trying to incite riots, the second (and “final”) chapter of Austin/McMahon, the return of the epic Awesome vs Tanaka rivalry, the industry changing forever thanks to one tag team ladder match, the red and yellow coming back and even more attempted vehicular manslaughter. Oh, I almost forgot- a couple of writers make the jump and continue to sink the ship from “behind” the camera.
