Well, just in case anyone doubts the fact that the WWF has no viable competition, the WWA put on a PPV last night (whose tape will actually AIR tonight).

If you were debating about whether to spend any money on it, feel free to use this as your guide...

quote:

The show opens up with Jeff Jarrett coming to the arena in a limo, but McManus, Borash and some other guy who told Jarrett that Sid barred him from the building, so Jarrett responded by punching the other guy, and said he’d be back.

Borash and Disco opened up commentary and some really bad pyro went off. During the matches they cut the live commentary from the arena, as it is only through the TV.

Another limo pulled up and Sid enters the building.

They had this ring announcer guy (Australian) who didn’t even know the name of the freaking company and called it World Wrestling Allsports, and the crowd got on his case. Not only that but he kept stalling and Borash had this look on his face as if he wanted someone to shoot him. Then, their mic’s didn’t even work properly. Nice way to start off, these people have production values!

AJ Styles vs. Nova
The crowd hardly knew who these guys were. This is apparently part of a Cruiserweight title tournament. AJ used some really stiff kicks early on. During this match I actually heard the Tech. guy in the back yelling “Cut to camera 6”, again, another sign of good production. The crowd worked themselves into the match with lots of near falls and ooh’s and aah’s. Nova missed the Senton Bomb, and AJ hit the Styles clash which is one awesome move for the win. Very short match though, only under 5 minutes.

The Starettes were brought back again for this PPV to “entertain” the crowd.

Clips were shown of Jerry Lynn’s debut at the last PPV.

Sid came out, with a walking stick. They talked about his injury, putting it over, but as far as I knew he actually was getting close to wrestling again so I don’t know why he was selling the injury. He said he waited a long time for that crowd reaction. Sadly, there wasn’t much of it. Sid puts over McManus for giving him a chance. I thought Ahmed Johnson was bad on the mic, but Sid makes him sound like Kurt Angle. Basically hyping the main event which we already knew about.

Chucky vs. Jerry Lynn
The winner of this will face AJ Styles in the Cruiserweight title tournament. Chucky is from Australia, and I’ve only seen him once but he’s pretty good. Chucky hit a really nice spinning moonsault onto Lynn onto the outside. This match was no longer than 4 minutes. I actually missed the end of the match, but Lynn won.

Backstage, Puppet threatened to beat up one of the interviewers who looks really unrealistically terrified. You know what’s sad, Puppet actually cut a promo 100 times better than Sid. Puppet got the most heat thus far by calling the crowd a bunch of dirty Aussies.

Puppet vs. Tio
Puppet slammed Tio between two chairs which the announcers sold as if he was dead. Tio hit a TKO but screwed up, so the crowd started with “You F’ed Up” chants. Tio was then whipped into the trashcans. Puppet then hit a midget bomb off the top rope. Tio came back with a swinging neckbreaker. Tio then hit a senton bomb for a 2 count. Tio then hit Puppet with a chair while a trashcan was over his head. They got out a ladder. And that was only to get back into the ring…Anyway, he set up the 6 ft ladder, and hit a splash onto Puppet for the win.

Backstage Tio flirted with Midajah.

I’d just like to note that you could hardly hear the entrance music on TV. Another good production value. Buff Bagwell was introduced and the crowd let off a big pop, and Disco claimed “Oh look, it’s Judy Bagwell’s son!” When Christopher was introduced, Disco claimed the same thing, except replaced Judy with Jerry.

Stevie Ray and Buff Bagwell vs. The Cat and Brian Christopher
Bagwell looked really really bad. I thought McManus said Bagwell would never be back in WWA after last time? This was horrible. The crowd was dead, even when everyone did their customary taunts and posed for the crowd. Stevie Ray hit Christopher with a modified Bubba Bomb which looked quite painful. Cat
got the “hot” tag. Stevie accidentally hit Bagwell with a scissors kick, and Cat and Christopher hit a double team Rock Bottom on Bagwell, and Christopher hit a top rope legdrop to win the match. Why was this crap longer much than the Cruiserweight matches? After the match, Christopher, Cat, the Starettes and some kids from the crowd danced together. Joy.

Disco said “This does not belong in pro wrestling, what would Lou Thesz think right now?” I know he’s saying that to be the heel announcer, but he was totally right. Disco then got into the ring and started doing his dancing, which made no sense considering he was complaining about people dancing on a wrestling show. The others kicked him out of the ring.

Oh my GOD! The Funkster was backstage and I could have sworn it was Hogan himself in the early 80’s. I’ve never seen him do that impression before, but that was brilliant. Quebecer Pierre did the Lance Storm gimmick and asked for respect in the Canadian national anthem. Funkster cut it off, big surprise.

Funkster vs. Quebecer Pierre
Funkster did the poses before the match, to which surprisingly most of the fans booed, I guess because they love Hogan. Disco said “Do you realize Pierre had his first match at 16, so he wrestled before he lost his virginity!” Funkster hit a nice flying sunset flip for a 2 count. Borash said “Pierre’s going up for the Swanton Bomb” but he hit a top rope legdrop instead. Good work Borash. Pierre hit a running powerbomb, and then hit the swanton bomb, but the Funkster kicked out. He Funked up! No, I said funked. Funk hit a piledriver and a legdrop for the win.

They showed some clips of Nathan Jones.

Scott Steiner came out to a huge pop. He insulted the crowd by talking about our manhood and that our sports were sissified. Well, it’s a good way to get heel heat. Jones came out and said he’d kick Steiner’s ass. Jones went down to the ring, until Sid came out and told Jones to go backstage. Borash said “When Sid talks, people listen!” Yeah, if they’re not already asleep. Steiner talked about how he broke Sid’s leg. Sid announced that he’d be the special enforcer. The crowd didn’t care.

They showed clips from the 6-man cruiserweight match from the last PPV.

Cruiserweight Title Match: AJ Styles vs. Jerry Lynn
They exchanged some counters earlier on, grappling on the mat. They both went for an armdrag at the same time, and Lynn turned it into an armbar, a very unique move. There was so much action I can’t do it justice. Lynn applied a nice surfboard submission. Styles unleashed some really stiff looking kicks. Lynn came back with a northern lights release suplex into the corner. Lynn was busted open. Styles hit a running springboard plancha onto the outside. They hit a really long series of rolling pins, which ended in a German suplex by Lynn. Lynn hit a really nice sitting powerbomb for another near fall. Lynn hit a cradle piledriver, but Styles kicked out. Styles reversed a powerbomb to hit his own Styles Clash, but Lynn kicked out. Styles then went to the top rope and hit a huge senton twisting senton bomb to a big pop, for the pin, to win the cruiserweight title. Styles and Lynn high fived each other after the match. Best match on the show thus far by far.

They showed some clips of Devon Storm vs. Sabu, while they set up the cage.

Cage match: Devon Storm vs. Sabu
Borash announced that you can only win by pinfall, which totally nullifies the cage. Storm powerbombed Sabu onto the cage, several times. Storm then hit a top rope splash. Sabu regained control and rammed Storm into the cage, several times. Sabu got some object and started stabbing Storm in the head, as both guys were busted open. They got a chair in the ring and both used it to their advantage. Storm hit a DVD on the chair, but Sabu kicked out. Ok so Storm got OUT of the cage, and got a steel guardrail. Getting out of the cage wasn’t even a way to win the match at all, so where is the logic in that? Sabu then dropkicked Storm through the cage. Both of them then get out 3 tables. Storm then rammed the guardrail into Sabu, several times. Storm then placed Sabu on two of the stacked tables, and Storm climbed to the top of the cage. He hit a splash from the top of the cage onto Sabu through a couple of tables, as “Holy S***” chants broke out. However no pin attempt was made and Sabu brought a table into the ring, as they both went back inside the cage. Sabu then threw a fireball at Storm’s face out of nowhere Sabu then put Storm on the table, and hit a moonsault onto the table, but it didn’t break. So Sabu went up and hit a legdrop from the top of the cage and got the pin. Very good match, not the best match of all time, but it was entertaining with a lot of spots.

Evening Gown Match: Midajah vs. Queen Bee
Horrible catfight. Midajah removed Queen Bee’s clothes to win the match, when the midgets came down to the ring and speared Midajah and removed her clothes.

WWA Title Match: Nathan Jones vs. Scott Steiner w/Sid as special enforcer. Jones is freaking huge. Steiner wiped his ass with the Australian flag. Heel rule #43. They traded shoulderblocks and other power moves early on. Jones hit a huge slingshot clothesline over the top rope on Steiner for a near fall. “Steiner’s a Wanker” chants broke out. Steiner whipped Jones right through one of the security railings which flew about 6 feet back. Steiner seemed more interested in jawing with the fans at ringside which got him a good amount of heat. Steiner hit a big belly to belly for a 2 count. Jones was making a comeback, but Steiner hit a low blow followed by a nothern lights suplex. Steiner put on a Sharpshooter for some weird reason. Sid is shown at ringside cheering for Jones. Steiner hit another belly to belly. Steiner is dominating the whole match, that means Jones will retain. Jones came back with a sidewalk slam, followed by a series of clotheslines. Jones went up to the top rope, and slipped, and landed totally on his face. Jones went for a chokeslam, but Midajah climbed into the ring and got on Jones’ back, but Jones threw her down. While the ref wasn’t looking, Steiner hit Jones with the belt, but Jones kicked out. Steiner then when after Sid, but decided against it. Jones hit the chokeslam, but Midajah attacked the referee. Sid got in the ring and went to powerbomb Midajah, but the referees broke it up. Steiner hit Jones with the belt again, and Steiner applied the Steiner Recliner. The refereee lifted his arms and they dropped 3 times, so Steiner wins the title.

After the match, Sid gets in the ring, walking stick and all, and gets the mic. Sid then raised Steiner’s hand because he said he’s the best. Steiner said that he’d break his leg again when they meet next. Tiny pyro went off with Steiner posing on the ramp. Then, for no reason at all, Steiner came back out to the ring, and Sid got on the mic again and stuttered on every word and basically set up a feud for the belt I guess. The PPV went off the air with the crowd dead, and no music playing, and nothing from the commentators.

Notes: Did I mention the production was terrible? The main event, and the cruiserweight and cage matches saved this PPV from being totally unwatchable. Even with those 3 matches which were quite good (and I’m sure Styles and Lynn have put on much better), I wasted another $25 on this company. They gave hardly zero time to the cruiserweights (apart from the 3rd match), and more time to people like Bagwell. Steiner looked really good, no signs of an injured leg as he worked a good 10 minute plus match and took quite a few good bumps. The crowd was totally dead for most of the night. If you’re wondering if you should buy this PPV on impulse, I give this a thumbs down and suggest not to. I haven’t seen the February PPV they did, but it sounded better than this one. Oh yeah, it was only just over 2 hours long too. Actually, in one way, that was probably a good thing…

Ugh, sounds like a Springer show gone horribly awry..."When Midget Molesters Attack" or something like that.

Now that Steiner is the WWA champ, how soon do you think Vince will sign him just to fuck with the competition?

I say, within a month, two tops.

Well, I saw this PPV (*I* did not pay) and it was... not good. The actual WRESTLING, for the most part, WAS actually good. Plenty of decent matches. Okay, that takes care of the "sports". Now, the "entertainment" was.... NOT ENTERTAINING. Matter of fact, it was downright ANNOYING. Jeremy Borash BLOWS. Disco, though better than Madden, is NOT good. The Australian announcer... HAHA. The pauses WERE really annoying. Sid STINKS when he's not being insane, and just talking... the South in him comes out more.

One thing though... I think if Nathan Jones was given an opportunity in the WWF, he could definitely go places. The guy is fuckin impressive. Taller than Sid by a few inches (over 7 feet, I suppose), built like a tall Brock Lesnar, mic skills aren't terrible if you can look past the Aussie accent, he's pretty agile (unlike WWF's current "big men")... hey I may be crazy but I think he'd be good to have in a real fed.

Edit: Ignore me completely. Maybe if I did a little research I'd know that he apparently was in WWF development but had trouble getting a green card, so he went back to Australia. At least that's what WWA's site says.
