Dale's RAW Report for April 19, 1999
Taped April 13, 1999
Hour 1 and 2 Commentators: Jim Ross & Jerry "The King" Lawler

• Trivia: Remember the old gimmick interview segments on the Superstars TV show in the late 80's early 90's(Heartbreak Hotel, etc.) Well, remember when Shawn Michaels broke up the tag team of the Rockers with Marty Jannetty on one of these interview segments in January 1992 and launched his singles career. The question is which interview segment did this happen on?

• Just a note, no RAW report next week because I'll be attending next week's Nitro in the Fargodome at Fargo, North Dakota. If you see me I'll be holding the signs: "Jericho: King of WCW" and "Fargo is Jericho country" can't wait until he comes to the WWF. Maybe I'll have live show results from the Fargodome Nitro instead of RAW report and say other stuff that didn't air during Nitro.

COMMENTS: I wish we could've had a match for a main event instead of an interview. The actual list the wwf.com confirmed that was fired were: Golga, The Blue Meanie, and Duane Gill"berg." I heard they're fired by the end of the month and will only appear at house shows so I expect for Gill to drop the Light Heavyweight Title really soon unless the WWF officially kills the division and forgets about the belt. Also what's the state on the European Belt? I hope the WWF doesn't abandon that belt either, maybe they should have a batt;e Royal for it at IYH: Backlash or the winner of the Helmsley/X-Pac match should get it. Show was good and I like how the WWF is increasing the length of their midcard matches by a couple of minutes like they've been doing this past month. Show gets a B+ because I wanted a main event!!!!
