Bill Watts joke in 5… 4… 3…Event Type Pay Per View Event Date JanuYear 1997 Country United States Location Cedar Rapids, Iowa Arena Five Seasons Center Attendance 5,120 Network Turner Broadcasting System Running Time 3 hours Main Event Hollywood Hogan vs. SOMEONE GET SOME GODDAMN COLOUR INTO THIS SHOW. Hogan refers to the guys behind him, including Scott Norton, as “the Dallas Cowboys”.
Their booth is just to the side of the entrance.Our retro review of WCW/nWo Souled Out 1997 as Simon Miller talks about Hulk. The commentators are Ted and Eric. There is also a light screen at the top that continuously spells out “NEW WORLD ORDER”. The ring is all black with an nWo logo in the middle, the ropes are black, and the entranceway is a big stairway with lights fitted to it. Then rock music plays and FIREWORKS~! go off.

Maybe they just really like Nick Patrick. The fans chant, “ USA !”, and Chono actually points at Jericho and asks Patrick what the chant’s all about. A fan nearby yells, “IDIOT!” Inside, Chono chops blocks out the knees. However, Chono moves and Jericho splashes the post. Jericho counters a suplay to his own and hits a spinning heel kick, followed by a springboard plancha to the floor. Chono hits a side Russian leg sweep and jumps off the top with a spear.
Vince Russo wouldn’t come around for 2+ years, guys, cut it out! Chono gets a table out from under the ring and sets it up, but Jericho blocks a suplex through it and suplexes Chono back into the ring. I have no idea why they’re doing this, but there’s a camera guy on the floor with a camera ON A POLE which they occasionally switch to, and it’s horrid. Chono with a sleeper into a reverse DDT. A clothesline – yes – also gets 3, which is called 2. Jericho makes a comeback with a spinning back elbow and a German suplex for 2, which was actually 3.
Totally unremarkable opener, nothing to really see. Chono catches Jericho on the top and shoves him to the floor through the table, and inside the Kenka Kick finishes. Still gets 3, but oh that Patrick, he’s a slow one. Jericho hits the Lionsault but is delayed on the cover due to his knee.
Mystery Man II, a man named Jeff in leather jacket, nWo shirt and sunglasses, but otherwise the biggest nerd I’ve seen, interviews some of the women while a band plays. The highlight of this was one man PASSIONATELY yelling “BOOOOOOOOOOOORING”. They show some of the Miss nWo entries, and let’s just say, I’ve seen… numerous better.
Morrus is in BUNKHOUSE GEAR which means dressing up like Bubba Ray Dudley. That would really have been a Mexican Death Match, because I’m not sure what constitutes one otherwise. In the crowd are THE FACES OF FEAR~! I think this match should have had lumberjack rules where you have several Mexican criminals imported from Tijuana, armed with knifes at ringside. Mexican Death Match: Hugh Morrus w/Jimmy Hart vs. This was VERY painful to watch.2.
Morrus goes for Patrick, giving Bubba the advantage again. Okay, a Mexican Deathmatch is just a Last Man Standing match. Bischoff actually asks, “What makes it a Mexican deathmatch?” See, nobody knows! Morrus hits the big No Laughing Matter moonsault, but Patrick is slow on the count. Bubba grabs the world’s biggest chain and clonks Morrus with it to block a charge, and he whips away with it. Morrus clotheslines Bubba to the floor after blocking an attempt to handcuff him to the top rope, and Jimmy Hart puts the boots to Bubba. Bubba lowblows Morrus numerous times.
Morrus FOULS~! Bubba and throws him out, and up the ramp they go. Shockingly, this does not keep Morrus down. Bubba with a SCREAMIN’ CLOTHESLINE~! for 2. Morrus gets an international object and starts wailing on Bubba’s head with it.
That was preposterous, but apparently devastating, as Morrus is done. Bubba then steals a bike from one of the bints at ringside and RUNS HUGH MORRUS OVER. He just kinda jumped back and spun round onto his face.
Debra and Mongo in the crowd, and best of all, Debra is still wearing her beauty queen attire, indicating she always dresses like that. Jarrett is, of course, WCW Jeff. There’s two women dancing behind these huge screens.NWo Jeff interviews more women with no wit while the weird band continues to play.3. I have nothing else to say. He ran him over with a bike!On the big screen, silhouettes dance.
Wallstreet with THE SLEEPER~! Right, he’s done. Jarrett then takes a crazy bump over the rail, and at that point Debra may have had a heart attack. Wallstreet necks Jarrett on the rail as Debra weeps in the crowd. Jarrett pisses Patrick off by making him count to 4 about 3 times for rope breaks, so Patrick causes Jarrett to crotch himself and give Wallstreet the control. Wallstreet uses Patrick interference to get 2 off a schoolboy. They do some of the usual biased referee stuff in the early going, with Patrick demanding wrestling and not fisticuffs! Hip toss by Jarrett and he comes off the top with a high cross for 2.
Jarrett goes for the ref as Debra persuades her Steve to hop the rail. Jarrett locks in the figure 4 but Patrick pulls Wallstreet to the ropes. Eric describes the shitty camera on a pole as “beautiful”. Jeff JARRETTS UP and hits an inverted atomic drop followed by a suplex, but a second rope fist drop misses. Wallstreet locks in a chinlock and puts his feet on the ropes, basically on instruction from Patrick. Jarrett locks in his own sleeper but is forced to release the hold due to turning it into a choke, apparently.
The lead singer looks like a communist Peter LaSalle, for those who have watched the IWS indy promotion. That’s good, because the question was something ridiculous like what would she do to have a good time with Buff Bagwell.The strange band, who are apparently called Captain Virgil, does a wacky tune. One woman appears to be 80 years old, and she can’t hear a thing Jeff is saying. The finish was entertaining.NWo Jeff interviews, and I quote, “the senior division of the women”. They worked a 1980’s style with hip tosses and chinlocks and high crossbodies and abdominal stretches and such, which didn’t exactly suck, but it’s nothing I ever have a desire to watch again. It’s that or be smacked with a briefcase.
Buff demands that they will wrestle, or he is leaving! Buff Bagwell would like a good clean pro wrestling contest where pinfalls, submissions, knockouts or possibly a 60-minute Broadway would occur! They do some basic leapfrogs on Pole-Cam until Riggs hits a dropkick to take over. Eric describes the opening as “illegal opening moments”. Riggs jumps Buff and runs wild, sending him to the floor. Buff gloats about how big his arms are by having Nick Patrick struggle to take off his waistcoat. The master of buff! The Megapowers exploding this is not. Buff is called, and I quote, “The Buffmaster”.
Shockingly, he is not DQ’ed. Buff takes a hip toss to the floor. Riggs hits a belly-to-belly and POSES~! So Buff does the most hilarious freak-out of all time by jumping up and down expressionless over and over again.
Bagwell hangs Riggs up to dry with a front suplex and knocks him off the apron into the rail. Inside, Riggs drops a big wackamaroo off the top for 2. Okay, this has to be a big joke.
