My first live WWF event

Do you happen to recall any of the finishes? I haven't been able to find any myself.

[JN News 0]

Jim Neidhart defeated The Patriot by DQ.

 

 

 

 

 

One of the final moments of glory for the Hart Foundation. A Smarks nightmare, I know. But, I was a HUGE Hart Foundation mark, and I seriously thought Anvil was gonna job like always. But, Anvil going over was a bit of a shocker.

Jacques Rougeau is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all-time. Too bad fans don't give him his due.

[Jebus 0]

Did Anvil use the original Hart theme during his 97 run?

[JN News 0]

No, he used the new Hitman theme.

WWF @ Tulsa, OK - Convention Center - October 21, 1997

Taka Michinoku & Scott Taylor defeated Brian Christopher & Tajiri

I didn't know Tajiri wrestled for WWE in 1997. Are you sure that wasn't just a misprint? Because I watched a 1997 match of him on KaZaA against Shinjiro Ohtani one time and Tajiri seemed to be starting out in Japan before going to ECW and then WWE, where he is now.

[Guest ToddRoyal]

Tajiri wrestled in late 1997-early 1998 as a jobber for the new Lightheavyweight division

[Guest Boo_Bradley]

Jerry Lynn was part of the Light Hwt Tourney too, wasn't he? Eric Shelly etc as well

[Matt Young 0]

Tajiri wrestled in late 1997-early 1998 as a jobber for the new Lightheavyweight division

Yeah, I seem to recall him jobbing as Tajiri Yoshihiro in the tournament on Raw in '97. Man, I wish I would've had a car in 2001 so I could've made the 2 hour trip to No Mercy. I've never been to a PPV.
