WCFC Jeopardy - An Analysis of Wrestlefest 1999

Saturday, June 11, 1999

Let's get to it. Forget the music, I'm in no mood for cheesy theme songs. I, J. Pump, will be your host this week on WCFC Jeopardy, where the answers are given and my response will be in the form of a question. Today's topic is: Wrestlefest 1999. Before I announce our contestants, I have one thing to say: What a card!!! While some matches left fans disappointed, the PPV still lived up to its expectations and next month's PPV is sure to be even bigger. The buy rate was extremely high and according to my sources, with their new found riches, rumour has it that the owners of the WCFC will be making changes... perhaps to bigger stadiums or more merchandising. Stay tuned...
But forget all that, we have a game to play and I'm in the mood to talk Wrestlfest! Contestant One hails from Perth, Ontario and is a huge Hunk of Dump fan. Please welcome... Hunk of Dump's Dump! Contestant two is also from Canada, and is hoping to one day be a part of the WCFC. Please welcome... Dr. No! Okay, let's get started. The rules are: you pick the category, and I respond. Not much fun for you, eh? Well, its my show. Here we go.

Dr. No: I'll take "Title Changes" for $200, Pump.

Pump: Very interesting category, doctor. First of all, let me say that I was quite disappointed with the results of the Internet Title match. I was hoping that Hey Stack would come out the winner. I am of the opinion that Mazin needs a character boost to become a "real" champion. Give that man a gimmick. As for the retaining of the Tag Team Titles, that was expected as I indicated in my Wrestlefest Predictions. The Featherweight belt: almost changed hands, and it's unfortunate that it didn't. However, El Infierno isn't due to lose the belt yet and it's only fitting that he won. As for the WCFC World Title, I have indicated my disappointment with the result of that match. I would have liked to see Sklar retain and hold the rights to the title "greatest champ of all time." Although, Cleveland's personality is championship material, I am not convinced he will hold onto the belt for an extended period of time.
Your turn Dump's Dump

Dump's Dump: I'll take "The Unexpected" for $400, Mr. Pump.

Pump: Good choice, Dump. There were two stories that took an unexpected turn for the better at Wrestlefest. First, was the feud between Colossus and Oil Tanker. It's good to see that their rivalry may be coming to an end. I wasn't totally convinced that the Tanker/Colossus battle had the full attention of the fans. As well, the beating laid down on the owners at the hands of "The Franchise" and the rest of the Elite was not only unexpected for but added a bit of spark to a card that consisted of little dialogue between the superstars. Good job, Mike, I guess you read my column from a few weeks back.
Dump's Dump, choose again.

Dump's Dump: I'll take "In Your Face" for $200, Mr. Pump.

Pump: Ahhh yes, in your face. Wasn't it finally nice to see Big Mama beat Crank at his own game and get the last laugh in a feud that saw Crank punish Sling for a few weeks prior to Wrestlefest. I think the dilemma as to who is the leader of the Zoo Crew has most definetly been solved. As well, Dan Heart showed Hunk of Dump who the true king of hardcore was after Dump had beaten Crank at the Madness card prior to Wrestlefest. It may be a while before anyone can dethrone Heart of his title. Lastly, The "Ego" showed Ben Xeric who was boss and ended his career in the WCFC. I, for one, am extremely pleased regarding the result of that match considering Xeric's character had been on free fall for the last few weeks.

Dr. No: How about "The Disappointments" for $600, Pump.

"DAILY DOUBLE"!!!

Pump: Okay, doctor, now you get to choose the answer. Here is your question: By far and away which match produced the most disappointing result at the PPV?
a) Sugar Daddy's absence
b) Bohnen family splitting up
c) Vic Rattlehead's loss to the still undefeated Kookamunda

Dr. No: I would think c), Pump.

Pump: Good answer, doctor. Without a doubt, Rattlehead's loss to Kookamunda was unexpected. Kookamunda may be a force, but when is he going to lose??? He has never won the belt and as a matter of fact, he has never even had a title shot. So why can't anyone beat him? If he is so unstoppable, grant him a title shot at a PPV. Rattlehead's loss was also disappointing, because he had the best chance to win out of anyone who ever faced Kookamunda, considering the beatings he handed down at prior Madness cards.
Okay, contestants, time is up. We will now start Final Jeopardy. The category is... "who is the next #1 contender for the WCFC World Title?"

(30 seconds pass)

Dr. No: Who is "The Essence" Shawn Mecklinger?
Hunk of Dump's Dump: Who is Kookamunda?

Pump: Unfortunately, I do not have the answer to this question, but I will award you both points for picking two superstars who may very well end up being the next #1 contender for the WCFC World Title. My guess is that it will be one of those two, or "The Franchise" Mike Coristine, who has an outside shot.

Thank you for playing WCFC Jeopardy. Until next week this is...
