By Mike Johnson on 2012-01-29 01:40:00

Welcome to PWInsider.com's live, ongoing coverage of Pro Wrestling Superstars' debut in Los Angeles as part of this weekend's WrestleReunion festivities.

Sal Corrente opened the show welcomed everyone and said he had a friend that helped him start out WrestleReunion, so he wanted to bring him out and he has a friend as well.  Out came Mick Foley with Mike Tyson.  Tyson did the DX chop when he came to the ring.  Foley said that he's refereeing tonight and if anyone gets out of line, he usually gets physically involved.  Tonight, he's going to referee The Steiners vs. The New Age Outlaws but he doesn't want to get physically involved because he's going to work the Royal Rumble and he doesn't want to be hurt even more than he already will be.  He said Mike Tyson was going to be watching his back tonight.

Tyson said he's humbled to be here and had a great time.  He mentioned spending time with Superstar Graham, Sid Vicious and Brutus Beefcake.  He said he was re-living his childhood and started cutting a Billy Graham style promo.   That was great.

They have a Titantron video playing graphics and clips for the wrestlers. 

Adam Page vs. Arik Royal

They shook hands and locked up.   Royal began working over Page's arm, but he did a flip to escape.    Royal grabbed a side headlock but was sent into the ropes.  He shoulderblocked Page down.  They went into a hot sequence with a number of reversals before facing off.  The crowd loved that.

Royal nailed a spinkick and a stiff dropkick in the face for a two count.   Royal went to come off the middle turnbuckle but was caught with a dropkick.  He went to the outside.  Page hit a twisting flip to the floor.  

Big Van Vader's music hit and he made his way to the ring.  The entire place chanted for him.   Vader threw a chair into the ring and then entered.  Royal  whipped Page towards Vader, who wiped him out.  Vader then clotheslined Royal.   Vader worked over Page in the corner with punches. 

Royal nailed Vader and he and Page worked him over in the corner.   They tried to double suplex Vader but he fought them off.  Vader was grabbed by Royal and Page worked him over.  Page went to the top but Vader fought off Royal and caught Page in the air.  He nailed the World's Strongest Slam and nailed the Vader Bomb splash off the center turnbuckle.  He then chokeslammed Royal for good measure.

Vader powerbombed Page.  It was brutal.  

The Steiners vs. The New Age Outlaws with Mick Foley as the special guest referee.

BG James did the entire Outlaws entrance and ring introductions.   Gunn then did a funny bit where he didn't remember his line and did The Rock and Steve Austin's catch phrases.  The place loved it.  The Steiners came out to their OLD early 1990s WCW theme "Steinerized", which popped Mike Epsenhart HUGE.

The crowd did dueling chants for each team.  Scott Steiner took the mic amd said he didn't need any f****s from Los Angeles cheering for him.  He told a fan "f*** you" for taking his picture.   Steiner went to the floor and someone threw a beer in his face.  THAT IS THE DUMBEST IDIOT EVER BORN.  Steiner got in his face but somehow the guy lived.  The heat for all this was incredible.

Foley said that he has a redeye plane to catch and the guy outside is the dumbest man alive.  He wanted to call for a substitute referee but was reminded he was a hardcore legend by Gunn, so he said he would stay and "cower in the corner." 

Scott and Gunn started out.  Rick is doing his whole Dogfaced Gremline antics.   Scott worked over Gunn, slamming him into the buckles and chopping him.  Gunn fired back with several stomps and punches, then tagged out to Road Dogg.   They went for a double clothesline but Scott held onto the ropes.  Rick hit the ring and clotheslined both.  The Steiners did their trademark pose.

The Outlaws regrouped on the floor.  Road Dogg and Scott faced off in the ring, but Rick tagged in and started running around in circles.  He bit Roadie in the rear end.  Dogg went to the outside, rang the ring bell and said it was over.  He took the mic and said, "I'm as progressive as the next guy, but when you stick your tongue up my ass, I draw the line.  I'm not saying we can't have a drink later and talk about it, but right here in this ring, No."  Foley then announced it was Los Angeles, so he was authorizing tongue in the ass.  Tongue in the ass was then chanted by the crowd.  We have our first nominee for the 2012 chant of the year award.

Gunn tagged in but was worried about locking up with Rick.  Rick grabbed him in the corner and tried to pull Billy's tights down.  Foley reached in and pulled them up.   Gunn missed a charge in the corner so Steiner bit him in the rear.  Gunn ran to Road Dogg and hugged him around the waist.  Roadie tagged in, but didn't want any part of Rick.  He asked for Scott.  Rick refused, so they locked up.  Rick locked him up and tagged Scott, who unloaded with several rights.

Road Dogg ducked a clothesline and nailed him with a series of his trademark right hands and danced before dropping an elbow for a two count.   Scott kicked off a charge in the corner and nailed a belly to belly suplex for a two count.   Scott argued with Foley, allowing Rick to choke Roadie against the ropes.  Foley tookthe mic and said, "Mike Tyson for the love of God, where are you?"

The Steiners worked over Roadie for several near falls.  Roadie kicked off Steiner and tagged Gunn, who cleaned house.  Gunn missed a splash in the corner and was nailed by Scott with an overhead belly to belly suplex or a two count. Scott didn't like the count Foley gave him and shoved Foley.  Foley pulled out Socko but when Steiner turned around, Mick tossed it to the floor.  Gunn attacked Scott and nailed the Famouser and pinned Scott.

Your winners, The New Age Outlaws!

A really fun match.  It was one of those "you had to be here to get it" type of deals with all the comedy and nostalgia.  I don't know whether it will hold up on tape but it was entertaining as hell here.
