3-Count ("Sugar" Shane Helms & Shannon Moore) vs Two-Thirds of the Jung
Dragons
3-Count was the first to come out, and they drew some great heel heat from
the crowd as they did their dancing routine. Both teams showed great top
rope moves during the match which kind of surprised me because, at house
shows I've been to, WCW seems to stay away from the high risk
maneuvers. Anyway, awesome match, and a great way to kick off the show!
Winners: Jung Dragons after Kaz Hayashi pinned Shannon Moore with a
Tornado-Jumping DDT (not a typo) from the third rope.
Chris "Champagne" Kanyon (with Nitro Girl Baby and Nitro Girl Chameleon) vs
Brian Knobs - Hardcore Match
Before the match started, Brian Knobs added a stipulation that if he won,
he would get Kanyon's two "bitches." Highlights from the match include a
table brought into the ring in where Kanyon was whipped into
it. Obviously, the table cutter failed to show up tonight as the table
didn't even break! The match ended when Kanyon's two valets entered the
ring and teased Knobs. After Kanyon's valets double low blowed Knobs,
Kanyon hit Knobs over the head with the "Hollywood Title Belt."
Winner: Chris Kanyon by pinfall.
Little Jeanie vs Mona
The crowd wasn't too much into this one. They did, however, start a
"Mona" chant. Towards the end of the match, TANK ABBOTT came to ringside. He grabbed the microphone and basically talked about beating innocent victims until he got a shot at Goldberg. This got a "GOLD-BERG"
chant from the crowd. After Abbott was done, Mona attacked Tank! Tank then delivered his TKO punch on Mona.
Winner: Mona by Disqualification
Tank Abbott vs Barbarian
The two battled outside the ring for a while. When it got back in the
ring, the match ended minutes later when Abbott used his TKO punch for the
victory.
Winner: Tank Abbott by TKO (my first prediction wrong so far! - j/k)
Mamalukes (w/ Disco Inferno) vs The Harris Brothers
At the end, The Harris Brothers used their "H-Bomb" on Johnny "The
Bull." Right after this, the Harris Brothers were caught in an argument
with the Disco Inferno. As this was going on, Big Vito came in the ring,
and replaced his partner with himself as he played possum. When one of the
Harris Twins went for the pin, Big Vito countered it into a rollup, and the
1, 2, 3.
Winners: Mamalukes
Dustin Rhodes vs Terry Funk
Before the match started, Funk got on the stick, and made homosexual
remarks to Rhodes. However, in the middle of the match, things became even
more sexually disturbing! When Dustin was in the corner, Terry Funk pulled
down his pants, and rubbed his ass in Dustin Rhodes's face! I hope I
didn't paint a visual picture in your mind of that! Anyway, the match
ended after Dustin's chair shot onto Funk was countered, and Funk got the
pinfall.
Winner: Terry Funk (pinfall)
The New Bloods (Kidman, Booker, and Buff Bagwell) vs The Millionaire Club
(Sting, Lex Luger, Ric Flair)
The match went by really quick, and had a very disappointing ending. Lex
Luger was supposed to start the match, but the fans went so nuts for Sting
that Sting just had to start off the match. After all, Sting was born in
Omaha, NE! Anyway, Sting kicked ass most the time. After tagging in Ric
Flair, Sting and Luger battled Bagwell and Booker on the outside; the
referee left the ring and tried to break up the fight at ringside. As this
was going on, Flair strapped the figure-four onto Kidman. While the
referee was still distracted, Shane Douglas came out, and knocked out Flair
with a chain wrapped around his fist. Kidman then pinned Flair for the win.
Winners: The New Bloods after Kidman pinned Flair.
Overall, I thought the show was pretty good! It's a lot more fun to enjoy when the fans are more into it - this time, they were! As every other damn mark who attends a house show and sends in a report, I guess I'll give you the "who's hot, who's not" results...
Biggest Cheers:
The Good: 3-Count vs Jung Dragons - great match!
The Bad: The way the main event ended. It went by too fast, and Luger and Flair wrestled for about a minute a piece.
The Ugly: Terry Funk rubs his bare ass in Dustin Rhodes face! (ugh!)
and, breaking a little tradition...
The Beautiful: Torrie Wilson!!! A few hours before the event started, and a group of friends and I had the chance to meet Torrie Wilson, and that other guy, Kidman. Anyway, after tonight, I declare Torrie Wilson the most beautiful human being to ever walk God's green earth! Just the way she smiles is just...indescribable! Plus, she finished off signing her picture I had with a "Love, Torrie" followed by an "XOX"! What an awesome moment! Another note, my friend Ryan (who took a camera along to the autograph section) wanted a picture taken with him and Torrie Wilson. He gave me his camera, and I took the picture. Moments later, I started to think about my "big camera snap", and I realized that only professional photographers have had the opportunity to take pictures of the gorgeous Torrie Wilson, and here I am on the same level (well, pretty damn close for that matter) as them! Maybe I'm making too big of a deal about this, but,
damnit, I have dreams!
