Alright, before we get back to your irregularly scheduled madness, let's continue the 1999 retrospective.
1999 YEAR IN REVIEW
PART 2: the horsemen vs the bullet club
If parents have seen on their little boys and girls's walls alot of posters of this man
And this stable
It's because Chris Jericho and the bullet club are the fastest rising stars in wrestling today, assclown!
It's incredible how much superkicking your former partner does to boost your career.
Shawn Michaels threw Marty jannetty through the window of the body shop, and became one of the biggest stars in WWF's unfortunate history.
When people first saw Chris Jericho superkicking fellow thrillseekers lance storm in a 1997 tag team title match, people, including the rest of the Hart foundation, wondered why? After all, the thrillseekers reigned supreme on the tag team division, revolutionizing tag team wrestling with their matches against the steiners, the eliminators and Los gringos locos.
On the nitro following the title defense, Jericho proceeded to tear the Hart foundation a new one, calling them bossy and selfish , who held him back by teaming up with lance as if he was just a pawn. He is now a free man, free to make his lionheart roar again, and to get rid of every selfish old farts that tries to stand in his way.
That promo caught the ears of ric flair, who wanted to create a new 4 horsemen, with arn anderson and Chris benoit already chosen. However, when proposed with the idea of joining the horsemen, Jericho promptly told flair to grab his ass-kissing clowns and shove them up his ass!
Later, he competed in the inaugural WCW TV title tournament, reaching the finals, where he faced Dean malenko. The match was a classic, putting both wrestlers over. Malenko won when he countered the liontamer with the Texas cloverleaf.
After the match, the three horsemen came to the ring to congratulate malenko, confirming him to be the 4th horseman. Flair proceeded to taunt Jericho.
"SEE THAT, YA LITTLE PUNK? That's what ya get when ya turn down the naitcha boi! The 4 horsemen is back, baybay! And let that stylin' countah be a lesson to all of those who dare stand in front of us!
Now go kiss your mama's ass back in toronto!
WOOOOOOOO!!!!
Jericho then proceeds to sent the horsemen packing with a chair.
"I'M FROM WINNIPEG, YOU ASSCLOWN!!"
The following weeks would see malenko defend his tv title, with Jericho also competing in the cruiserweight division, delivering stellar performances against the likes of Sean waltman, Eddie guerrero, Rey mysterio and psychosis.
Then, after winning a match against Alex wright, Jericho went at it on RIC flair and malenko again, delivering the classic "man of a 1004 holds" promo.
Over the next couple of months, Jericho and malenko would often butt in, and deliver a series of matches that were praised for their creativity and storytelling in the ring.
Jericho and malenko squaring off during one of their many praised matches.
However, the four horsemen would soon interfere during jericho's matches, costing him many wins.
Fed up with the horsemen, he wanted to take the fight to them.
And he found it when he met his former Hart foundation stablemate, sean waltman
The two have decided to join forces to take on the horsemen.
Fate happened on a APRIL 1998 edition of nitro. Three of the four horsemen (Chris benoit, Dean malenko and curt Henning, who replaced the retired anderson) squared off against the young trio known as the young dragons (Jimmy yang, kaz hayashi and Jamie knoble). It seemed like it was heading to an easy horsemen win, until Jericho and waltman distracted Dean malenko as he was about to put Jimmy yang into the cloverleaf, which was enough time for jimmy to roll-up malenko for an unexpected three count!
The horsemen, humiliated, tried to catch Jericho and waltman to no avail.
Later, the young dragons thanked the duo for saving them, stating that people never gave them a chance. Relating to the trio's struggles, Jericho accepted them among his ranks.
Later, benoit and malenko defended the now-defunct US tag titles against the Japanese duo kaientai. Once again, Jericho and waltman distracted them, making kaientai win their first north American belts!
Later, kaientai joined Jericho, waltman and the dragons in the ring for a promo. This was the night the bullet club was born.
JERICHO
"tonight, you are looking at the birth of the group that will lay the 4 horsemen to rest for good! The nature gramp himself will how down in front of the new kings of Monday Jericho! The ayatollahs of rock n Rolla!
WE ARE BULLET CLUB 4 LIFE!!
And when we beat the 4 horsemen at war games?
It's gonna be 2 SWEET!!"
But ric flair heard all of that, and the horsemen came out to confront the newly formed bullet club.
FLAIR
" HAHAHAHA!! Do you seriously believe that yo gang of degenerates is gun' take down the greatest collection of rasslahs in history? Ya really have your head far up your ass, young man! At war games, imma teach you how to respect yo elders!
And besides, most of yo fellow punks are already booked in other matches at war games! You ,dat syxx pack whatever-his-name-is and taka michintok here are gonna take the ride of yo life on space mountain!!
But before flair wooed, he looked around and saw a huge, imposing man with a mullet standing on top of his fallen horsemen! The giant proceeds to pop the entire arena by NAILING A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK on ric flair!! HE then picked up flair and powerbombed him so hard it was a surprise that the ring didn't broke!
Jericho took the Mic.
"Ladies and jerichoholics, this is the monster of the bullet club, the 4th member of our war games team:
THE GLADIATOR! MIKE!! AWWWESOME!!"
The war games match was a violent one, but the club made a huge statement by beating the horsemen! At the same match that they made famous!
The two groups would feud with each other until 1999, where Jericho and flair faced off in a grudge match.
IN an instant 20- minute classic, Jericho managed to reverse the figure-four into the lion tamer to make the nature boy submit!
After celebrating with his stable mates, Jericho stated that Y2K is a scam, but Y2J is real, and when Y2J arrives, when he finally wins the NWA world heavyweight title, professional wrestling will never....
....be the same. Again!
Next part will chronicle the rise of the cruiserweight division.
