Episode 360: No Mercy 2007

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony and guest host Casio Kid deliver a WHW Patreon treat that we believe you're really going to enjoy. LKBH Adam DeMouy, WHW Monday's own special troll, is having us watch a couple of things, and wrote (at length): "...No Mercy 2007 - All 3 Triple H matches . The Game was in peak Game Mode during this time and wrestled 3 championship matches in 1 memorable night. The opening Promo where Vince is in the ring giving Randy Orton the wwe championship then The Games music hits and the son in law comes down to the ring to cut an amazing promo on Vinny Mac … Gets what he wants and capitalizes … What a celebration afterwards as JR busts a nut when The Game wins. But then Vince makes him wrestle 2 more matches vs Umaga ( who was a bum , just there cause he was Samoan ) then the main event vs Randy Orton in his prime again. What a match this was … This ppv was the best ppv wwe did in the late early 2000’s … The next night on Raw, HBK came back to challenge Orton which was also a great feud. This was during Randy’s peak legend killer phase. Also, I want Tony to relive the only match he personally ever gave 4 stars to on Nitro . Disco Inferno vs Chris Benoit US Championship Match. Nitro 8-16-99 . Disco cuts a promo before the match about being the only star in WCW then he goes down a fights Benoit in a match Schiavone really loved . It’s only a 8 minute match. I personally talked with Disco Inferno and he holds this match in high regard and said it was his best match in WCW and he remembers the 4 stars Schiavone gave him on commentary for this match . It would be a personal favor to me ; the longest contributor to the WHW patreon page … just think when we started it was just me and about 8 other guys chatting with Tony in the Gwinnett Braves baseball booth or tuning into listening to Tony call baseball and being miserable to now being totally transformed into Nitro era Schiavone and being basically the VP of All Ego Wrestling…. Hey I can’t take all the credit but I can take a small lit
