[Leon TrotSky]

Tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite is number 248.

[Chris]

That actually looks like a relatively better Nitro lmao but oh God I just remembered the Scott Hall contract story when he never even shows up again

 

[Samoa Looch]

Always funny to see talent working the same #-Episodes, years apart. Here it's Bradshaw and Rey Rey.

 

[Hoss]

Always funny to see talent working the same #-Episodes, years apart. Here it's Bradshaw and Rey Rey.

[Samoa Looch]

[Hoss]

Oh yeah, how could I miss that

[Chris]

Crazy I didn't even think about that

 

[Samoa Looch]

God damn, you're right.

[Hoss]

The GOAT

Last night's Dynamite was number 249 and honestly, doing the recaps of the WCW part of this has been sucking the soul out of my body. So much stupid stuff to make sense of.

Nitro 249​

Nitro episode 249 took place from the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, IA and aired on June 26, 2000.

• Mark Jindrak/Sean O'Haire beat Rey Misterio Jr./Juventud Guerrera (w/ the Filthy Animalz)
• Big Vito vs. Jamie Noble for the WCW Hardcore Title never started (Vito set up an open challenge, Jamie answered, but then it became a 3-on-1 Jung Dragons beatdown. No bell rang)
• The Perfect Event beat Shane Helms/Shannon Moore (w/ Evan) to retain the WCW World Tag Team Titles
• Goldberg beat Jim Duggan
• Kevin Nash beat Mike Awesome
• Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) beat Buff Bagwell
• Lance Storm beat Disco Inferno
• Jeff Jarrett beat Goldberg, Kevin Nash, and Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) to retain the WCW World Heavyweight Title

RAW 249​

RAW episode 249 took place from the Gund Arena in Cleveland, OH and aired on March 2, 1998.

• Disciples of Apocalypse beat the New Age Outlaws by count-out, failing to win the WWF World Tag Team Titles (Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie chased the Outlaws off)
• Marc Mero (w/ Sable) beat Tom Brandi (Luna came out, tripped Brandi, and kissed Mero so Goldust could attack. Then Sable came back and Mero didn't want her help)
• Mark Henry beat Owen Hart by DQ, failing to win the WWF European Title (Chyna interfered)
• TAKA Michinoku/Headbangers beat Barry Windham/R&R Express (w/ Cornette)
• Steve Blackman beat Kama Mustafa by DQ (big Nation run-in)
• Jeff Jarrett (w/ Tennessee Lee) beat Flash Funk (oh btw, Jarrett is back to country singer mode and has disavowed the NWA. Which, as you may have guessed from a previous result, is now an even bigger joke)
• Steve Austin vs. Kane (w/ Paul Bearer) never started (Austin was attacked by DX, Kane forced the timekeeper to ring a 10-bell salute for Taker, then Taker came back and cut a spooky promo on Kane)

SmackDown 249​

SmackDown episode 249 took place from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, NV and aired on May 20, 2004. It was the fallout show from Judgment Day 2004.

• Charlie Haas/Rico (w/ Jackie) beat the FBI to retain the WWE Tag Team Titles

• Chavo Classic beat Chavo Guerrero and Spike Dudley to win the WWE Cruiserweight Title

NXT 249​

NXT episode 249 took place from Full Sail University and aired on December 25, 2014. It was mostly a recap show, with only one match:

• Charlotte (w/ Ric Flair) beat Sasha Banks (w/ Becky) to retain the NXT Women's Title

Impact 249​

Impact episode 249 took place from the Impact Zone and aired on April 2, 2009.

• Sheik Abdul Bashir/Kiyoshi/NO LIMIT beat LAX/Lethal Consequences
• Team 3D beat Main Event Mafia Security (for the sake of my own sanity, I think I'll digress a bit. I've grown a weird soft spot for the Phi Delta Slam boys, who are playing MEM heavies here. It's probably because of TEW, where I was able to make them into solid midcarders, with a gimmick of my own creation (basically they're fat dirty racist cops). It can't be because they ever hard good matches, because they never did. Funny how these things happen. I'm trying a similar thing with a mini of Vampiro in the same save, making him basically a heel version of Spike Dudley. He's going to be jobbing initially but you never know, some spots open up in the card, he could get an actual push. I'm looking forward to TEW IX, though I feel there is a huge missed opportunity on the cards as they haven't announced the ability to play in the rest of the world yet. I'll be sad if that just never happens. The future of TEW will probably let me find new random dudes who never made it in real life, but whom I'll just push. I'm excited for that. Where was I? Oh yeah, Beer Money were there and acted sus but were respectful all match)
• Taylor Wilde beat Madison Rayne (w/ TBP) (post-match TBP tried to cut Wilde's hair)
• Scott Steiner beat AJ Styles (Jeff Jarrett stopped AJ from using a chair, Angle came out to fight Jarrett, the distraction gave the MEM guy the win)
• Sting beat Samoa Joe by DQ (rage DQ finish, Booker T came out for the save but failed, then Joe stole Sharmell)

 

[Comrade Khan]

39 more to go!

 

[Leon TrotSky]

39 more to go!

I'll be glad to be finished

Only a few weeks left until I have to relive the worst match of all time
