This rap sheet is posted in news:rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info a newsgroup that many wrestling organizations could utilize to spread info about their shows but don't, and the archive of all the ones I've written are stored in http://abermud.tripod.com/rapsheet.

As slow as the RSPWI posting queue is getting approved, I actually posted this on 5/12, but dated it 5/14. Last time I posted one of these I dated it 5/8 the day I posted it but didn't show up in the newsgroup until 5/10, so the date when you read this should actually match up. I’m about out of streaming videos in my search all over the Internet for them, so here’s probably the last one in the series for a while. This time it consists of WWF and WCW matches, all from one site in this case: http://www.wrestlinghit.com. The lineup:

Rob Van Dam vs. Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig - WWF Intercontinental Title
The Undertaker vs. Kane
Mankind vs. Billy Gunn & Jesse James - WWF Tag Titles
X-Pac vs. Billy Kidman - WCW Cruiserweight Title

Hardcore Handicap Match - WWF Tag Titles

Now the belts are split, and the cruiserweight title would be declared a WWF title, which X-Pac’s belt was retired along with his career in the WWF.

WINNER and NEW CHAMP: Billy Kidman pin -> 4:45 mins. **½

Okay, now to jump headfirst into the graveyard that was WCW BEFORE the merger.

WCW US Heavyweight Title Match
(c)Bill Goldberg vs. La Parka - Commentary is in German as the WMV was made in Germany. I can tell you right now, the ring introductions take up more than half of the file. La Parka comes out with a chair and he gets a great reaction from the crowd. WCW was stupid to let this guy go during the trimming of the belt cause he was one of the most interesting guys of the luchadore roster. WWF is just as stupid for not signing this guy. This match was back in 1998, when Goldberg had yet to get his world title shot. Goldberg has a spectacular ring entrance with the fireworks going off while he stands in the middle of it. Loud Goldberg chant. La Parka threatens with a chair, then Goldberg says bring it. La Parka with a chairshot that has no effect and he turns around and foolishly struts. Spear Goldberg, suplex into a powerslam...the jackhammer...1, 2, 3. Christian must had seen this one, cause he did about fifty chairshots on Goldberg during his cage match and STILL LOST. Vintage Goldberg, SQUASH!

WINNER and STILL CHAMP: Bill Goldberg pin -> 30 seconds. DUD

WCW World Heavyweight Title
(c)Bill Goldberg vs. The Big Show - The last one went so quick, so lets do one more. Video quality isn't that great on this one. The Giant hurls Goldberg into the corner, Goldberg fires back, Irish whip reverse clothesline Giant. Yes he was calling himself the Giant, but chokeslam Giant gets only two. Show can't believe it, but he should had known he's hardly worn out for it to end so quick. Chops Show have no effect, Goldberg knees him in the corner, Irish whip, spear, jackhammer suplex of 400+ lbs., 1..2..3! When's the last time you've seen the Big Show lose in a squash? ¼* for the feat of strength.

WINNER and STILL CHAMP: Bill Goldberg pin -> 1:35 mins. ¼*

WCW World Heavyweight Title
(c)Sting vs. Scott Hall w/ Dusty Rhodes - This is from Uncensored 1998 and the commentary is in German cause that’s where the video file was made. Sting was champ at this point. Hall snatches the belt and acts like he’s champ until Sting comes over to take it and then they start fighting. Lockup, arm wringer Hall, headbutts, but Sting shoves him down to the mat. Mark Curtis is the referee as Hall wants a strength test but kicks Sting, then tries a hip toss block, punch, then does a chokeslam. Gloats too long and Sting slams his head into the mat. Sting punches away and drop kicks him outside. Rhodes gives Hall a pep-talk. Hall in, Sting whips him, Dusty trips him. Hall clotheslines Sting on the apron but only gets a two count. Roundhouse punch, knockdown Hall. Irish whip to the corner and a clothesline Hall. Fallaway toss slam by Hall gets two. Stomp, punch, Hall continues slapping Sting around, shoveoff, collision, and Sting falls into Hall's groin. Mark Curtis is counting both men, Hall grabs Curtis, Dusty Rhodes sneaks in the ring and drops an elbow on Sting but that only gets two. Hall punches away again, Sting hulks up then fires back, atomic drop, Stinger splash, clothesline. Scorpion Death Lock but Dusty comes in, Sting knocks him off, Hall attacks, Sting throws him off and Hall crashes into Curtis. Sting over to check on him, Hall has a metal bar, bam! Very crappy cover only gets two however. Hall goes for the Razor's Edge, but Sting gets out of it, Scorpion Death Drop (reverse DDT) gets three! Sting gives Dusty the DX crotch chop sign.

WINNER and STILL CHAMP: Sting pin -> 8:30 mins. **

War Games 1996
The NWO - Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Fake Sting vs. The Four Horsemen - Lex Luger, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Sting – A change in the rules, everyone has to sit in the back that’s not in the ring, and we know why that rule change was made. Luger and Sting were members of the Horsemen at one time. Scott Hall and Arn Anderson will start the match. Hall slugs away on Arn. Arn turns it around and slugs Hall, then shoves him into the fence. Spreads the legs and kicks low. Whip across clothesline Hall. Hall rubs Arn on the ropes. Hall rams Arn’s head on the cage. Kick away on the mat by Hall. Hall rams Arn on the turnbuckle. Arn grabs the arm, wrings it, then goes to work on the leg. Tony, The Brain and Dusty are on commentary, discussing where Sting was all day. Hall crawls to the other ring, Arn follows but Hall meets him, then pounds away in the corner. Chokes away, boomerangs him up to the bottom rope. Arn goes low, then rams him into the turnbuckle, whip, punch to the gut. Sleeper Anderson. One minute to go, Hall side suplexes himself out of it. Hall goes to punch, whip reverse, spinebuster Anderson. Puts on a half-crab. Time for the next guy, it’s Kevin Nash. Arn meets him, punches away, but Hall grabs him. You know I’ve never seen a War Games where the good guys win the coin toss. Hall and Nash throw Anderson into the fence. Nash snake eyes Anderson. Druggie Luger is out EARLY, time hasn’t run out for him to come but he’s in there already fighting Hall and Nash hitting the bionic elbow repeatedly. Luger rams Hall’s head into the fence. Anderson and Luger just pound away on the bad guys. Here’s Hogan and he’s going after WCW, but they quickly take over. Nash comes to break it up, Nash hurls Lex into the cage. Hogan is working over Arn, but gets his face slammed into the fence. Hogan punches away on Arn, Nash and Hall punch away on Luger. Hogan legdrop on Arn. Choke by Hogan on Luger. Here comes Ric Flair. Flair taunts everyone to come after him, Hogan goes over and pounds away, whip across, clothesline misses, Flair hits away. The heels come in for Flair, low blows for them. Inverted atomic drop Arn on Hall. Figure four by Flair on Hogan. Out comes the fake Sting, though the announcers don’t know it’s a fake. Fake Sting pounds away on the faces with mostly chops. Everyone’s in one ring now. Hogan with a choke, then bash on the fence. Slam Flair by Hogan and a leg drop. Stinger splash by the Faker on all three of the good guys. Here comes the real Sting, dressed the same as the fake. Real Sting goes after the faker and bulldogs him down. Splash on Hogan and Hall, then Nash and the Faker. Bulldog Sting on Hall. Sting has words with Luger, then he LEAVES! And thus begins the horrible transition to the persona that I never liked, that being the Crow. The NWO quickly takes over, dominating the Horsemen. Flair chops away on Hall. Hogan side suplexes Luger. The Faker has the scorpion death lock on Luger, Hogan chokes him at the same time, and the refs stop it right there. The crowd could not believe what just transpired. The NWO gloats over what they’ve just succeeded in doing, then proceed to beat the Horsemen some more as the cage goes up. Luger is crawling down the aisle but Hogan goes over the stomp away, until Flair and Anderson join the fight, Nash gets low blowed, Macho Man out, and hurls Hogan in the ring. Here comes the Big Show, as Savage chases Hogan. Hall follows in, and the Big Show nails Savage, then chokeslams him down. The rest goes downhill from here in what was WCW’s greatest angle turns into it’s greatest curse.

WINNERS: The New World Order submission -> 18:15 mins. ***

WINNERS: Sting’s Squadron submission -> 23:35 mins. *****

Finally a five-star match in the pile that deserves a download, but alas, most everything else is junk. War Games 1996 is worth a look, for the shocking outcome, X-Pac vs. Kidman is okay, pass on the rest. The match pile has run dry, all that’s out there for grabbing is RAR files from very slow servers downloading at a speed comparable to a 2400 baud modem while I have a DSL.

411mania.com is doing their version of American Idol called RantWars. I'd enter that myself, only problem is, 500 words ain't enough for a long-winded debater like I am, and frankly the rules would constrain me too much. Should I do one of these unofficial entries? Maybe, you might see what I have to say about the question of the week.
