House Show Results - Grand Rapids, MI 04/19/97
Alan Napieralski and Steve Sparks were at the house show in Grand Rapids, MI at Van Andel Arena April 19. Here are the results of a somewhat entertaining show:
- La Parka over Ciclope
- Psychosis over Juventud Guererra
- Psychosis incensed the crowd by repeatedly giving the finger to everyone.
- Rey Mysterio, Jr. over Super Calo
- No comments about this match because we went for a couple of beers.
- Intermission Break
- Jeff Jarrett over Chris Jericho
- Jarrett seems to be turning heel. He hid behind the referee and really annoyed everyone.
- Kevin Nash over "Diamond" Dallas Page
- Nash won after Macho Man interfered by throwing a crutch to Nash.
- After the match, DDP put the Diamond Cutter on Nash and left.
- Nash was handed a microphone while still lying on the mat and said "Even lying flat on my back, I am toooo sweeeet!"
- Triangle Match: Luger/Giant over Harlem Heat and Public Enemy
- Harlem Heat called the fans "a bunch of hillbilly rednecks" and left before the match had concluded.
- Gosh, the Giant is enormous! He is so much bigger than any of the other wrestlers.
Overall the WCW put on a decent show. We sat fourth row, ringside. The Nitro show last November was a much better presentation though.
Note from Bill: Since posting this, I got the following e-mail from Roger Wheeler: I went the following night in Kalamazoo and the exact same things
happened except Rey Mysterio fought Terry Taylor.
Pretty amazin' that the exact same things happened (man, am I upset to find out that wrestling isn't real).
I always make fun of how WWF does its booking. In Pro Wrestling Illustrated, you can see how on successive nights, the WWF puts on the exact same card in different towns. It seems the WCW is guilty of doing the same thing.
As for Terry Taylor, he is a road agent but fills in and jobs when needed. Super Calo must have been hurt or had another engagement.
