WWA Results from Belfast, Northern Ireland 11-27-01 Submitted by Calvin Martin on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 at 6:07 PM EST
Thanks to Chris for sending this report in!
It started with the announcer (Borash) saying that the show was being taped for tv and that he and Konnan would be doing commentary. He also had a few shots at the WWF for being cowards and not coming here in over 10 years.
Then the matches started:
Cruiserweight Title: Juventud Guerrero (c) v Psychosis Pretty basic match, and poor considering these two guys were wrestling. Load of getting the crowd rowdy (including Juvi doing the Rock stuff). Juvi won with the juvi driver.
Then Bret Hart came out and the place went mad! He went on to say that after Sept. 11th he knows a little better what it's been like in Belfast and that he's always been proud to come wrestle here. Said that the last time he was champ in WWF and WCW he was unbeaten when he lost them, and went threw a list of guys that he's beat like The Rock, Benoit, Austin. He announced the main event - Road Dogg against Jeff Jarrett for the title.
Intergender mtch: Luna v Gangrel Again pretty basic. Luna wanted to tear Gangrel's eyes out and he wanted nothing to do with it. There was some cake thrown and a metal plate used. Ended with Gangrel using the Leaping DDT.
Hardcore tables match: Norman Smiley v Crowbar Crowbar is a lot bigger in person than he is on TV. Norman Smiley got a lot of cheers when he started screaming. Some good moves by Crowbar. Ended when Smiley powerslammed Crowbar onto a table on the entrance ramp.
Buff Bagwell came out to help get the crowd cheering for the cameras. The crowd wasn't too happy to see him and were booing until Stevie Ray came out and started talking trash to the crowd. Then, Bret came out again and set the match for later tonight, Bagwell v Stevie Ray.
Dancing Fools match: Disco inferno v Grand Master Sexy The crowd went nuts for Grand Master, even more than Hart. They were behind him all the way. Lots of stalling. Grandmaster won with the Leg drop from the top rope. Afterwards him, the ref, Konnan, and the announcer danced. Disco tried to join in but got mud holed by everyone.
Konnan & Nathan Jones v Lenni & Lodi Ok match. Jones is basically Test but without any hair. Konnan was being choked with a towel most of the match and then Jones got the tag and a few big boots later he finished it with a chokeslam.
Bagwell v Stevie ray: Bagwell was being squashed and was hit with the slapjack and got pinned but the ref found it. Restarted the match and Bagwell got the block buster for the win. Ray has got a serious beer gut, and needs to do something bout it.
Main event: Jeff Jarrett v Road Dogg (who has a beer gut as well): Pretty even match. Jarrett brought in a chair and hit road dogg. Went out to get the guitar but the ref took it from him. Ref was taking the chair from Dogg when he was hit by it. Jarrett hit him with the guitar got the pin. Hart came out and started arguing with Jarrett and Dogg. Dogg knocked Jarrett down and Hart put the sharp shooter on Jarrett. The crowd went mad!
After the match Road Dogg bitched about wanting a rematch but Hart ignored him and walked away which was pretty funny. He then said he wanted a beer from the crowd but got a load of popcorn, talked some more then left.
No Scott Steiner which I was pissed about even though they were selling his T-shirts.
Considering the talent they had the WWA put on a weak show, but the crowd didn't mind as it's the only live stuff they've seen in about 10 years. It was good to see Hart and Jarrett was a pro as always. Just heart breaking to see him wrestling the likes of Road dogg every night. Said they're coming back here in May, so hopefully it'll be a bit better by then. But I think people should go and show support for them, after all, when was the last time the WWF did a full consecutive tour of the UK, Ireland, and Austrailia?
