WWA Results from Perth, Australia October 20, 2001
Jeremy Borash kicked off the night with a speech about Bret Hart, gave us a list of matches, and introduced the king,(whos dirty old man segments will be left out.)
Juvi vs. Psyhcosis Slow start to the match but they got let off becuase the Perth Crowd hasn't seen wrestling for a while, it picked up towards the end with Juvi going for a 450, Psyhco nutted him on the ropes, back and forward, Juvi Driver, 1..2..3.. New International Crusierweight Champion.
Konnan vs. Gangrel w/ Luna Shit match, Gangrel and Luna cheated the whole way through and this one was wrecked by a smart sitting behind me. In the end Gangrel bumped Luna off the apron after a Konnan push, Facejam, 1..2..3.. Gangrel and Luna fought and he threw he "wedding ring" down it looked like from where I was.
Disco Inferno vs. Buff Buff was suprisingly good in this match. Disco did a stupid move called the village peoples elbow, pathetic. Buff won with the Butterfly DDT, and didn't follow it up with a blockbuster.
Lenny and Lodi vs. Dominion (or something) and Nathan Jones Alot of this worked in this matches favor, Lenny and Lodi played the gay role, very very well. And the Jones charecter is a 7-foot Australian, the match was over when you figured those facts out, and I thought it was going to be a squash. But this match went well over it's twenty minute time limit and had alot of good sequences and alot of heat for the Hollywood Blondes. Dominion and Jones won after the Aussie got the Chokeslam. MATCH OF THE NIGHT Funny sidepoint, when Lenny was doing the prematch gay thing he got hit in the face with a hefty bit of rubbish, and they had to explain it was just a gimmick with out letting the kids in on it.
Hardcore Match Crowbar vs. Norman Smiley Took awhile to get of the ground but there was some sick shit late in it, they fought into the crowd and listened to our we want tables chant and Crowbar jumped off a partition, where I got to touch him, and landed on Smiley who was on the table. At that point about 5000 people where within 10 square meters of each other. They fought back to the ring, back and forth pinning attempts, Smileymission for the win. GREAT MATCH
Lawler vs. Stevie Ray Shit match, Stevie squashed Lawler who got a cheap rollup win.
Main Event Road Dogg vs. JJ Never really got going, ref got knocked out, Kplonk, no ref to count, pumphandle no ref to count, Lawler slides in and counts Road Dogg wins the Whatever Heavyweight Title.
A little disappointed that they didn't really explain why Bret wasn't there, people that didn't know were pissed, Shamrock was advertised but a no show.
Cheers: 1. Road Dogg, amazingly enough. 2. When the Aussies tag team won, great match and atmosphere. 3. When Crobar put smiley throughthe table. 4. When Crowbar got the table 5. When Smiley touched the table 6. When Crowbar pointed for the table. 7. When Juvi juice won
Jeers 1. Lenny 2. Lodi 3. Lenny 4. Lodi 5. JJ 6. When Stevie Ray was involved in the dirty old man segment 7. Lodi + Lenny
Good show, but the back end of the card let it down a little. I'm pretty pleased for my first show.

Just got home from the WWA show at the Perth Entertainment Centre in Perth, Western Australia. This was the first show of the tour. Around 3500 people in attendance, about one third capacity. The night went as follows.
Jeremy Borash opened the show apologizing for Bret Harts absence due to his mothers illness. Jerry Lawler came out to a huge pop.
Juventud Guerrera defeated Psicosis via pinfall Konaan defeated Gangrel (with Luna) Lodi and Lenny were defeated by a team I cant recall.
Lawler then brought out some locals for a show of puppies but Stevie Ray took exception setting up their match later in the night.
Buff Bagwell defeated Disco Inferno Norman Smiley defeated Crowbar in a hardcore match Jerry Lawler defeated Stevie Ray via pinfall Main Event: Road Dogg defeated Jeff Jarret
No shows from Hart and Ken Shamrock were disappointing although Hart was understandable. They said the show would return in April 2002. Good show all around.
