House Show Results
from Sioux City, IA, Saturday, February 28th, 1998
By Dustin and Maceg
First, Dustin's report:
-
Well, I'm Dustin and this is my DDT Digest Debut, or my DDD.
-
I took the time to make this look like other reports as much as possible.
-
I have been a wrestling mark since I can remember.
-
I cried when The Undertaker beat Hulk Hogan at the Survivor Series in 1991.
-
I agreed with Bill on the Bret Hart situation, until he showed up on TNT.
-
I see myself as ending up like Chan, Charlie, or Matt. I'm 14.
-
Not that this would be bad, as I see my self God's nightmare to women.
-
I'll bet Bill's amazed a 14 year old can make a neato outlined report.
-
Here's the report:
-
Match 1- Brad "The Candyman" Armstrong gets rabies from The Cat
-
"Armstrong sucks!" chants wail through the arena.
-
He threatens to leave.
-
Ernest Miller wins with the Feliner
-
He's doing quite well during his rough identity crisis.
-
Match 2- Mortis (sans Vandenburg) jobs again to (Mortis is too good for this crap) Raven
-
Oddball match.
-
I know managers don't usually make house shows, but I heard the rare oddity collector lost his job.
-
Raven whacked Mortis with a chair on his way out.
-
Mortis almost got counted out. So much for Raven's rules.
-
Hmm, now the are beating each other with a chair.
-
Evenflow DDT, but Mortis is out at two.
-
It looks like another DDT and this time Raven wins.
-
GIVE MORTIS A PUSH OR I'LL JUMP OFF A BUILDING!
-
Match 3- Chris Benoit vs Meng
-
I don't see Benoit jobbing.
-
Benoit controlled most of the match.
-
VERY STIFF fist exchange.
-
Benoit puts on the Crippler Crossface and Meng taps out 30 seconds later.
-
Match 4- Diamond Dallas Page (BANG!) cuts the Diamond Studd, I mean Scott Hall
-
YAHOO! Survey time! Sioux City is nWo country.
-
DDP takes a survey. "Who wants to see Scott Hall get banged!?"
-
A rather obnoxious (and cool) guy screams, "I'll Bang your wife!"
-
A rather short match. Very common of these two, nothing new.
-
Hall came out to "Ready or Not" by the Fugees.
-
Diamond Cutter out of an attempted Outsider's edge.
-
Match 5- What in the hell? Fit (or not) Finley over Squire Dave Taylor with the Tombstone
-
"Boring", "USA", "You suck", and "Lets Go Huskers!" chants took place in this uneventful match which Finley won.
-
Boring, retarded, ugly match.
-
Who cares?
-
Match 6 - WCW Cruiserweight Champion "Whiningheart" Chris Jericho over Eddie Guerrero by the Lion Tamer.
-
Jericho is glad to be in Sioux City, Lionwa
-
Eddie says he'll give Jericho a good Iowa whipping.
-
Where I live that means he'll grow him on a farm and strike him dead with a scythe.
-
Great match, lots of holds and high risk moves.
-
Jericho catches Eddie out of a flying headscissors and locks on the Lion Tamer.
-
Eddie gets a.... HUGE POP after the match for his effort.
-
The Main Event- Curt Hennig vs Ric Flair
-
Flair got the biggest
pop of the night.
-
Flair will style and profile
on Hennig's ass.
-
A surprisingly technical
match.
-
Hennig gets the pin with
a Hennigplex.
-
Somehow Hennig used the
ropes.
-
Match continues.
-
Flair uses his instinctive
come back.
-
No, he didn't forget the
low blow.
-
Flair puts on the Figure-Four
and uses lots of pressure.
-
Hennig salutes us with
a nice middle finger up.
-
Someone on the other side
of the ring launched a FULL FROZEN MALT CUP at him.
-
Hennig got legitimately
scared, I think.
-
He bailed after the malt
cup flew in.
-
DDP was at Gateway 2000
(my dad's place of work) to sign autographs.
-
He's a genuinely nice
guy.
-
He made a comment about
egging Eric Bischoff's house. hehehe
Second, Maceg's report:
- Raven over Mortis.
- Brawl up & down aisles, had a section of hockey rink wall
set up in back used a few times, lots of chair and cookie sheet shots.
- Brad Armstrong over "The Cat" Ernest Miller.
- Slow match.
- Crowd couldn't careless about this match.
- Dave Taylor over Fit Finley.
- Both were more interested in jawing with the crowd then wrestling.
- Ric Flair over Curt Hennig.
- Flair got an incredible pop from the crowd.
- Decent match with back and forth action.
- Hennig argues with the ref and gets rolled up.
- Meng over Chris Benoit.
- Very physical matchup.
- Meng wins by deathgrip after Benoit misses flying headbutt.
- Chris Jericho over Eddie Guerrero.
- Lots of high spots and quick action.
- Jericho turns an attempted hurricanrana into Liontamer for win.
- DDP over Scott Hall.
- DDP got the loudest pop from the crowd all night.
- Hall does survey and Page does one of his own, wanting to know who came to see Hall get Banged.
- Quick match.
- Page turns an Outsider Edge into a Diamond Cutter for the win.
