The Sunday Night Heat Workrate Report
A weekly look at what did and didn't work on Sunday Night Heat by Phil Rippa

Sunday, January 24th, 1999

The Heats that air right before PPV's are always atrocious. So he is a quick post-birthday rant from me.
 


What Worked

Well, the J.O.B. Squad vs. Too Much was about as close to good wrestling as you were going to get this evening. Good to see Too Much back together, of course this means I probably won't see Kevin Quinn on my TV screen again. Oh well. There was a nice Double Superplex plus that nifty Falcon Arrow and that is all I care to recall.
 


What Didn't Work

Memo to all the fools who think Sable is a wrestler: Sable is NOT a wrestler. Morons.
Mable. Well big fella you get your own bullet point. Who on God's greens earth thought it was a good idea to bring him back in? Plus he wrestled TWICE through the evening. Mick Foley is lucky he didn't have his eye socket busted thanks to Mable's sloppy ass.
The whole rest of the hour. Lots of commercials and talking and shots of limos and more commercials. It was like a parody of Nitro. Hey it's Vince. Hey it's Stone Cold. Big Fucking Deal. I had dreams that the Hardy Boyz were going to be in the Rumble itself and Jeff would eliminate himself by doing a corkscrew moonsault to the floor. That was wishful thinking. But maybe they could wrestle Too Much. Nope, instead we got all the nonsense of the hour that was Heat. Now, I am just praying that they just hand Terry Taylor THE PENCIL and leave him alone. But knowing the WWF, he will be in the crowd selling souvenirs as the Red Rooster. Welcome to Hell Terry. I think you have been here before.
