Eddie escapes a belly to back suplex and I have to make sure to look at the screen because the announcers are busy reading announcements like a public address system announcer.Įddie stays on the knee and tries a Figure Four but Dean blocks the leg from going down.
Remember that, because it becomes important later. We get breaking news: Piper was speaking an ancient version of Gaelic last week when he was being taken away. Eddie spins out of that and it’s a standoff. He works on the arm but Dean grabs the knee. Technical stuff to start and Eddie takes him to the mat.
We’re told that there’s going to be a decision from the executive committee and they’re walking across the street to give it to us, because phones don’t exist in the bizarro world of WCW. The Outsiders have an NWO promo about how they’re going to come after Scott Steiner’s back in the match at Souled Out. Nash gets sent to the floor and Page bails through the crowd. He puts on the shirt and shakes Hall’s hand before pulling Hall in and laying him out with the Diamond Cutter. The Outsiders come out to give Page the colors and Page hugs Nash. Maybe he used his Starr power to get it? Thankfully the Diamond Cutter ends this in about a minute so I can’t be pelted for that horrible joke. Starr actually gets an entrance and comes out second. We get a video on Sting since he became Crow Man. Giant.īischoff and Dibiase take over on commentary. The WCW Executive Committee is meeting at the WCW Headquarters across the street (why they’re in New Orleans is beyond me) and they’ll make a decision about Hogan vs. Too short to rate due to the NWO/Giant stuff. Everything breaks down and the Heatseeker (Doomsday Device with a missile dropkick) gets the pin. Booker misses a middle rope elbow and it’s off to Kaos. Tony and Larry talk about how he should get the shot because of winning World War 3 as Harlem Heat is in control.
Eric and Hogan talk about how there was no contract so there’s no match. Off to Rage who hits a slingshot legdrop…and then it’s off to the back where Giant charges at the NWO again, this time calling them monkies. Even I wouldn’t hit Duggan.” Tony: “Yeah you would.” Larry: “Well not from behind.” Booker and Kaos start with Booker dominating. Larry and Tony have the following discussion during the entrances. Anyway this lasts like a minute and Jericho wins with a missile dropkick. We could save so much time on going to see the GM saying that so and so is facing so and so. That’s something that would save a ton of time in wrestling: a never seen matchmaker who makes matches just because matches need to be made to fill a show. They cover the guys being in gear by saying this is a match scheduled for later. Sting comes out and drops Duggan because he doesn’t want to watch this match. WCW is awesome and Sting needs to pick a side. This was a good choice for an opener as the crowd was getting into this pretty strong at the end which is always a good sign. It’s got nothing on Rey or Dragon or anything like that but it’s not supposed to. Pretty fun little match here as the Cruiserweights get to go out and show off a little bit. Guerrero knocks him down and hits a moonsault press for the pin. Chavo goes up but gets chopped down and JL hits a rana for one. Back in JL misses a slingshot splash and Chavo hammers away. JL gets in a shot and misses a dive off the top to the floor. Chavo hits a pescado to the floor and there’s an ECW chant for some reason. They trade headscissors and Chavo dropkicks him to the floor. Giant non-match with Larry seemingly referencing Showdown at Shea. Giant calls him a coward which Tony and Larry immediately say means Hogan isn’t defending the title. Giant: “You’re a four legged feline.” What kind of an….never mind. We open with Giant trying to get at Hogan in the NWO locker room. Anyway other than that, we’re getting the PPV main event to close the show….kind of. Tonight sees one of the most interesting (and unsuccessful) marketing gimmicks ever but it wasn’t as bad as a lot of things they tried. This is another step towards Souled Out but we have another show after this before we get to the Saturday PPV. Location: Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, LouisianaĬommentators: Mike Tenay, Bobby Heenan, Tony Schiavone, Larry Zbyzsko
