Souled Out 1997 Date: January 25, 1997 Location: Five Seasons Center, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Attendance: 5,120 Commentators: Eric Bischoff, Ted DiBiase This was requested a long time ago and I never got around to doing it. This is a very different kind of show as it’s the first and more or less only official NWO PPV. And when I say NWO PPV, I mean full on. The ring is different, there’s a house band, an NWO beauty pageant, all WCW vs. NWO matches and a guy making jokes about WCW guys on their way to the ring. It’s way out there but definitely intriguing. Let’s get to it.

We open with a black and white video of a full police escort bringing people to the arena. It’s really hard to see anything and we get the old school style NWO promos. You can’t see anyone’s faces until they get into the arena. Hogan has the Dallas Cowboys with him for some reason. The main event here is Hogan vs. Giant for the title, which makes limited sense to me as he fought Piper at the last PPV.

They always had this weird concept of have Starrcade then have Souled Out as a completely different theme of show and then have Superbrawl to complete the trilogy of S-named shows. The set is completely different looking than most shows with big lights saying New World Order and a bunch of steps.

Nick Patrick is the referee for every match tonight which must be tiring. Carb Jetting Software. Chris Jericho vs. Masahiro Chono Chris is billed as “from somewhere north of the border, Chris “I should have played hockey” Jericho”. It’s the same voice that would say the-the biggest icon in wrestling in the NWO theme song.

Chono was part of NWO Japan which became Team 2000 when the angle ended. The WCW guys get no theme music. Patrick accuses Jericho of pulling hair right off the bat. Jericho is more or less nothing at this point so this should be a glorified squash for Chono. A bunch of WCW guys come out to sit in the audience, including Anderson and Harlem Heat and a bunch of others.

Eric says they didn’t have to give away tickets to fill the place. Considering how bad things got in about two or three years, that’s hysterical. Nice side Russian legsweep by Chono as the glorified squash theory is right so far. Nice plancha by Jericho to the floor as Chris is giving it a go at least. After some stuff on the floor where Jericho hurts his knee we get some knee work from Chono in the ring. Kind of boring but not bad so far.
