WWA: The Inception Dublin, Ireland November 28th, 2001 Attendance: Est. 7,000 (sell out) Live commentary: Jeramy Borash & Konnan/Disco Inferno
I just returned home after attending the WWA show in the Point Depot here in Dublin Ireland.
Here is a brief run down of the results.
Jeroamy Borash entered the ring to kick off the show and basically said how how great it was to be in Ireland and how tonight would be so great. He then introduced Konnan as his co- announcer for the night.
The first match pitted International Cruiserweight Champion Juventud Guererra defending against Psycosis. Decent enough match here to start things off with Juvi coming out on top after a Juvi Driver and a three count from referee Mark Slick Johnson.
Next up, Borash introduced Bret Hart to the Dublin crowd. Hart received a massive ovation from the on-hand crowd and Bret basically gave a classic Bret Hart speech. He mentioned how great it was to be in Ireland and also mentioned that Vince McMahon was a "piece of shit". He said he was the commissioner for the WWA and that he was going to make sure that we all got our money's worth from the WWA.
Next up we saw Luna Vachon Vs. Gangrel in what I believe was named a black wedding match or something along those lines. The match was horrible and to be perfectly honest I donšt remember who won. As far as I can remember, Luna won the match.
Next was a segement involving Buff Bagwell and Stevie Ray. Buff Bagwell came out claiming that he would put everyone in Dublin, Ireland on T.V. (even though the show was never going to be on T.V. to begin with) when Stevie Ray emerged from the back claiming that the Dublin crowd were too ugly to be on T.V. As Buff and Stevie were about to get it on, Bret Hart came out and made Buff Vs. Stevie for later in the night.
Disco Inferno was out next against Grand Master Sexay (Brian Christopher). Both worked the crowd wonderfully during the match and the end came when Sexay connected with the Hip Hop Drop and got the three count. After the match, Sexay danced in the ring along with referee Slick Johnson, Konnan and Borash. Very funny segment here which saw Disco return to the ring to join in the dancing fun but end up on the receiving end of a four man beating.
Screamin Norman Smiley was up next against Crowbar in a Hardcore Match. Decent match here compete with trash cans, chairs and even a table which spelled the end for Crowbar. Smiley won the match after slamming Crowbar through a table.
Next, Lenny Lane and Lodi (The West Hollywood Blondes) went against the team of Konnan and Nathan Jones (Borash claimed Jones was Irish but I believe he's actually Australian). Jones stands at a good 6'7 at least and this one was a good match which can be put down to Lenny Lane who played the gay role brilliantly. It was a chokeslam by Jones on Lane which saw the end of this one. Winners, Konnan and Jones (as Konnan was wrestling, Disco Inferno took his place as commentator).
Steive Ray and Buff Bagwell assembled a horrible match next which saw Stevie pin Buff after nailing him with the slap-jack. But when the referee realised what had happened, he ordered the match to continue and Bagwell hit his Blockbuster finisher to get the three count and the win.
The Main Event was next. Jeff Jarrett defending the WWA Title against The Road Dogg. Not exactly a classic but decent enough, Jarrett won the match when he nailed The Road Dogg with the guitar behind the referee's back. After the match, Bret Hart came out to the ring and tried to explain to the referee that Jarrett had cheated but the referee would not hear of it. Dogg took it upon himself to nail referee Mark Johnson with the Pump Handle Slam and meanwhile Bret Hart applied the sharpshooter to Jeff Jarrett to a huge pop.
Overall, the WWA show was a good entertainment show. No standout wrestling matches, no history was made but the WWA certainly did entertain on November 28th, 2001.
Biggest Pops: Bret Hart Grand Master Sexay Road Dogg
Biggest Heat: Disco Inferno Stevie Ray Lenny and Lodi
Best performers of the night: Grand Master Sexay Disco Inferno
Laziest S.O.B. on the show: Stevie Ray!!!
The WWA will return to Ireland in May next year. I WILL be attending.
