Stone Cold Steve Austin: Hell Yeah DVD


Stone Cold Steve Austin: Hell Yeah
Released: October 26, 1999

So I realized I had misplaced/lost my 1997 WWF PPVs. While I’m getting those rounded up, I’ll give you something to talk about by starting at the beginning the WWF DVD catalog and recapping what I can until those PPVs are in my possession. Hope you enjoy!

The premise of this video is that a camera crew with Michael Cole spends three days following Stone Cold around. Hopefully it will be awesome. Read the rest of this entry

Raw is War (03.10.97)

WWF Raw is War
March 10, 1997
Worcester, MA
The Centrum

LIVE!

The current WWF champs were as follows:
World Champion: Psycho Sid (2/17/1997)
Intercontinental Champion: Rocky Maivia (2/13/1997)

European Champion: Davey Boy Smith (3/3/1997)
World Tag Team Champions: Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith (9/22/1996)

Explosions are happening inside of a warehouse! Reflections of WWF superstars are seen on walls! People are fighting each other! IS THAT EVIL MARILYN MANSON MUSIC I HEAR? It must be the debut of RAW is WAR.

A tougher-looking show was just the thing the WWF needed at the time. We see pyro, we see the debut of the giant Titan Tron, and we see the steel rampway. All this change and yet we still have the same old red-white-blue colored ring. They may now have Attitude, but Vince is still totally 100% American. Those colors don’t run, ya know.

Your hosts are Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, and Jerry Lawler. Read the rest of this entry
