WCW Monday Night Nitro November 8th 1999 Review

 


Wrestling fans you've seen me review WWE / WWF PPVs and episodes of both Raw and Smackdown heck you've even seen me review Impact Wrestling PPV's and an episode of AEW: Dynamite. Well now your going to see me review something that i've never even considered doing until right freaking now and so join me as I review what the first and I think only episode of that i've freaking seen with the episode in question being the November 8th 1999 episode of freaking WCW Monday Night Nitro enjoy.

Now then I really cannot tell you what the main storylines were or even are going into this show simply because i've never even seen an episode of Nitro before now. However tho I can say that this particular episode reeks of Vince Russo booking and that really does effect the overall stories that that are being told in this very freaking episode simply none of the stories that are being told in this particular episode don't make that much sense in my opinion anyways / at least.


The stage that was being used by WCW at this time is a very minimalistic set and even tho it's a set that I technically grew up with it's also a pretty freaking bad looking set / stage as well. Since there is so much freaking dead space both being and as well as all around this set that could have been filled up with either bigger or possibly even more video screens or they could have built so much more stuff just to freaking fill out all of the dead space that this set has and those improvements that I mentioned would have gone a very long way to help making this set seem all the more better in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.

Like I said this was the first and actually only episode of WCW Monday Night Nitro that 've ever actually seen. Since when thus episode was first being broadcast over here in the UK England I actually asked my dad to tape the episode because it was on on a school night and because of the fact that this in the nineties we only ever had one TV and so I do actually have some very fond freaking memories of watching this episode but sadly tho those nostalgic memories don't make this episode any freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then I will very fully freaking admit that I straight up didn't know that this episode had a new intro simply because i'm so used to watching the old 1995 WCW Monday Night Nitro intro which is on all of the current WWE games. Which is in all honesty a good thing since this intro for WCW Monday Night Nitro was just bland and boring and uninteresting since it doesn't get you hyped to watch the show which is what a good wrestling show intro should in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then like the rest of wrestling fans I to have heard the rumours of have bad Sid Vicious is when it comes to delivering his in ring promos and well I can confirm that those rumours are in fact true. This is since his opening promo which opens up this very show is so freaking that it's actually freaking laughable just exactly how bad this promo really freaking is and it makes me wonder why WCW didn't insist on giving this guy promo lessons because of the fact that he quite clearly needs promo lessons in my opinions anyways / at least.

Now then for some strange and rather unknown reason this episodes dedicates an awful lot / amount of screen time to the Kimberly Page vs David Flair feud which just really isn't needed. Since you can still get across all of the right information that you ned in order to advance that story in one or even two backstage segments / skits but here this one feud takes up multiple segments that ultimately end up just going absolutely nowhere in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.


So now then the good thing about forgetting all about this episode is that I forgot just so how funny Kevin Nash as Scott Halls manager and well i'm being honest those backstage segments were what saved this show / episode for me. Since yeah both Kevin Nash and Scott Hall are a really freaking entertaining duo and to see them do some comedy only highlighted just exactly how entertaining those two were as a duo in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this particular / very episode of WCW Monday Night Nitro has / had a grand old running time of exactly two hours and thirteen minuets and nineteen seconds. With alot of this episodes running time being dedicated to backstage segments that go nowhere in terms of this episode heck we even get technically two whole Nitro Girls segments both of which go absolutely and could have been cut out of this entire episode and nothing of importance to this show would have been lost in my opinions anyways / at least. 


So now then since this is a wrestling show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very freaking episode and well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / feel / felt that the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very freaking episode was at best OK. Which is of no fault to wrestlers it's more due to the booking since every single match has some sort of outside interference and no match lasts longer then six freaking minuets long which for a weekly two hour plus wrestling is not a good thing at all in my opinion anyways / at least. 



Overall this show was a particularly underwhelming show which is a show because who's actually competing and who's actually featured on this show it had all of the right ingredients to be a good show but because of the Vince Russo style of booking this show just can't as good as it perhaps could have been or even be as good as it perhaps should been in my opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very freaking show in this very freaking review and as such this particular show earns / gets itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and from Google Images. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this episode being the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly freaking high definition.
