WCW Souled Out 1999 took place in Charleston, West Virginia on the 17th of January. The first WCW pay per view since the infamous "Fingerpoke of Doom" incident and the first WCW PPV under the presidency of Ric Flair, Souled Out 99 is all about World Championship Wrestling seeking revenge against the nWo.
The show is headlined by a ladder match, Scott Hall vs Goldberg. Whoever can grab a cattle prod first and use it against their opponent will win the match. Elsewhere on the card Norman Smiley continues his rivalry with Chavo Guerrero, Chris Jericho wants to beat Saturn and force him to wear a dress, Konnan looks to get revenge against his former nWo Wolfpac teammate Lex Luger, and Ric Flair teams up with his son David to take on Curt Hennig and Barry Windham.
This video is part of the Wrestling Bios Reliving The War series.

I love how Norman Smiley's Big Wiggle was meant to be a heel character change, yet he didn't get booed and just got him more over as a face. (Bar that tease in their match).

​​@@schizzo8959That it's happened several times over the past number of months. It literally just happened on the 4th of January Nitro. Goldberg barely gets his revenge later on - and he doesn't even get the world title back. That's the big issue with WCW around this time compared to WWF. None of their stories ever had a satisfying conclusion, and on the very rare occasion that they did-they'd either be retconned or quickly forgotten about the following week, or the champion would be dethroned within the next few days or weeks.

@RobJaskula I can see it being easier for an 11 year old just because of the lack of pressure. David was an adult and able to fully understand the context that his father is one of the best to ever do it. That thought probably never entered Reid's mind at 11. I know 11 year old me would probably perform better than 19 year old me in that situation.

I enjoyed his work in the hardcore division (eventually) cause it was funny but he really has some moves (pun intended). I also don't get how WCW put on a PPV without any big titles on the line (WTF?), so weird. Keep up the awesome work WB!

Bill seemed to perform that zap with the cattle prod more as a formality. Goldberg refusing to use weapons 90% of the time is one of those traits you notice looking back. When he beat Triple H in WWE he had a chance to use the sledgehammer but chucked it to the side in favor of the spear and jackhammer finish. Course, it bit him when he decided to apply that personal principle to car windows.

It's tricky because on one hand Scott Hall should be big enough to slam Goldberg but on the other hand Goldberg was built up to this point to basically be superhuman. This is honestly the most competitive match Goldberg had up to that point and they really had to try to make sure not to piss away everything they built Goldberg up to be and just make him another dude.

​@@tux789, This is somewhat true. No matter how big other guys were (except for a few: Giant, Nash, Bigalow, etc), all other wrestlers were just something for Goldberg to squash. Having the kayfabe of a wounded knee allowed Hall to get a pretty good match out of Goldy. But I wouldn't say it was as competitive as Halloween Havoc against DDP.

It's just how WCW was. Same as why did the nWo lose the tag match before only to interfere after? My opinion is Hall won this match by what the standard for a ladder match is: get the object to win. I'm wondering if they thought Bam interfering would be too strong and Hall would have to win. I don't think they wanted to have Goldberg lose another match so soon after the last time. They probably should have had him face Bigalow here, and Flair vs Hogan for the world for the main event. The next month could have had Hall against Goldberg in a ladder match without the lame stipulation.

While watching Reliving the War, I am absolutely baffled how horrible the Four Horseman were booked during this time in WCW. I know in the early years of the faction they were an incredible group. But with the NWO and how dumb the Legion of Doom were, the Horseman was an after thought.

Great video! The ladder match has been a little forgotten, I think. Goldberg did a nice job of selling his leg; short buts of activity with visible hobbling afterwards, and as you point out, that "catch this" sequence at the end was fun. Seeing Scott Hall being taken out by the same types of dirty trick he would conceivably use was a nice bit of storytelling.

Something that shouldn’t be undervalued is how this show had relatively good PPV buys. Unlike today where you get PPV access at the push of a button back in 1999 there was a lot that went into getting something on PPV. Also you can be critical of David Flair being greener then grass in this match but at least David can say he has a pinfall victory over John Cena when he was in OVW. 🤣

David Flair was just very nervous for many reasons. He is out there in a main event with some of the biggest names in wrestling, all champions, and of course the greatest of them all his dad. Of course he was nervous, and he wanted to make sure not to screw up because a lot was riding on him such as the boys in the locker room who were not liking to see a green horn main eventing. Also he had to make sure not to hurt the other guys by keeping them protected, and that was why Hennig and Windham were wrestling him because they know how to carry a match and help their opponents look good even if they screw up. David was about 19 here too and working in an event with tens of thousands of people watching him was also very intimidating for him I'm sure. Hey, I think for what he had against him he did a pretty decent job here. Was wrestling for him, maybe...but was he for wrestling, no, or least not at this moment but maybe in a few more years of training and working out then we'd see.
