As for my “option 6” announcement there; according to wikipedia, the debut album Foo Fighters didn’t come out until July 95, and had this been an actual thing that happened, this would be their second only show – but likely one that Dave Ghrol, who is from Virginia, would likely have done. And I'm sorry about the two-sign limit. But it's started getting kinda crazy, as much as I love you guys giving me signs to put into my shows, with so many awesome predictors it's starting to become a bit of a chore to fit in everything. I hope you all understand. Welcome back to alvarasus! Yep I'm still slow burning that Horsemen! lol

Tony and Bobby are wearing brightly colored Hawaiian shirts, while Jesse is clad in his standard tie-dye and fitting in better than they are. They welcome everyone to WCW Saturday Night in Honolulu, and say that they can’t wait for the main event, as hometown favorite Ricky Steamboat teams up with Cactus Jack to take on “Mr. Wonderful” and Randy Savage! Bobby says that he especially can’t wait to see Vader tear apart those old fools the Funks, which Ventura says is a foregone conclusion. Tony says that there is a lot of action coming on the show tonight, so let’s get right to it! In the background, we see a fan being led aside with a handful of signs that must have been deemed inappropriate or something.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/SteveAustin.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/BrianJames.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/BradArmstrong.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> The Stud Stable are standing backstage, BG Armstrong ready to head out to the ring. Stunning Steve is standing with him, saying that he’s going to be right there watching as Armstrong takes on Sting… but he knows that BG can do it on his own, telling him to “take the reins, young buck, and show that painted piece of crap that the Stud Stable ain’t scared!” As soon as Austin says that BG is on his own, Armstrong’s eyes go wide and he starts trying to back out, but Brad is on Austin’s side, and the two send BG out through the curtain! A sign in the crowd nearby says “The Stinger Stings The Studs” which gets a chuckle out of Tony Schiavone.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: C-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Sting2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/BrianJames.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/RobertFuller.jpg</span><p> <strong>Sting vs. BG Armstrong w/Col.

In hindsight, Armstrong probably thought he should have kept his hands to himself now, as Sting immediately beats him from pillar to post in this one from the opening bell. Stunning Steve is on the outside along with Colonel Parker, and the two shout encouragement to their Stable mate that finally pays off when BG gets an opportunity to rake Sting’s eyes and knock him down with a big clothesline. BG drops a pointed kneedrop to Sting’s chest, and then starts mocking Sting by grabbing his own crotch, just like last week! This actually brings out brother Steve Armstrong, who heads down to ringside and starts yelling at BG. The camera doesn’t catch much, but it does hear him saying that “Dad is very disappointed in you,” to which BG shrugs off. What he doesn’t shrug off is the punches and kicks that a rejuvenated Sting unleashes on him, leading to a Stinger Splash and the Scorpion Deathlock for the submission victory. Austin’s attention was on a conversation with a fan in the front row, who’s sign proclaimed “Pillman + Austin = Conspiracy Victims!”</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner in 10:23 : Sting</em></p><p><em> Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Tony says that they have just been told that we’re moving to a special video, a glimpse at a WCW newcomer, Waylon Mercy.<p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WaylonMercy.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> We see a serene park scene, children playing as people feed ducks and others ride roller skates down the sidewalks. Among them comes a tall man in a Hawaiian style shirt wearing a white tanktop under it and white pants. He introduces himself as Waylon Mercy, a man who has been away for a while but now he’s back, and he can’t wait to come to WCW. He says that fans and wrestlers alike will find him to be a man of peace, who has a message of love for all. However, he has come to learn that he has one flaw; people have always told him that he can have a very short temper, and once that switch gets flipped… well, he just can’t be held accountable for what he can’t control. Waylon rubs his hands together, smiling, and just then the camera flashes, showing a different scene where Waylon is standing in front of black with a fire behind him, his smiling turning devilish, before it flashes back to the kind looking man standing there smiling at the park.

Anderson starts, saying that the stars aligned just right last week, as there was just enough backup for him to thwart the backup that Roddy Piper brought to the dance, and the best man had his chance to win. Arn says that he takes nothing away from Piper, he’s a heckuva athlete; but in a straight-up fight, there aren’t many better than “The Enforcer”. Ric Flair takes over, saying that “Double A” is right, and that’s why he’s been the enforcer for so many years, and adds that just like none are better in a fight than Arn, there are none better in the motel room than the “Naitcha Boy!” Ric says that the only place he’s better than that, though, is inside a fifteen foot high steel cage, and Hollywood Hogan will find that out in Roanoke at SuperBrawl! Dustin says that he may not know all about all of that, but he knows about one thing; he wants some action next week before SuperBrawl! He says that next week when WCW Saturday Night is held in Oklahoma, he wants to take on the biggest bull he can find in Oklahoma, and that’s Meng! Flair and Arn say that they’ll have Dustin’s back if Meng brings his KoW backup, and the three men all shake hands as we fade off.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B+ </em></p><p><em> Notes: Flair improvised well, and Arn really enjoyed the unscripted freedom.</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>A screen comes up as Jesse Ventura tells us that next week, he will be hosting another Body Shop, this time interviewing friends-turned-enemies Terry Gordy and Michael Hayes just 24 hours before their I Quit match!<p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: D</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/NickBockwinkel.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/BrianPillman2.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Backstage, Nick Bockwinkel is looking through paperwork when he gets a visitor: “Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman! Pillman says to Nick that he’s onto him with this special referee thing, that Nick just wants to cost Brian the title. Pillman tells him that it won’t happen; there’s no way he’s about to just let Bockwinkel decide who holds what title around here, like he has been with the World and World Tag Team titles. Nick says that he has no idea what Brian is talking about, on both fronts; but as for the TV title match, Nick says that he fully intends to do what the fans want, and call the match as fairly as he possibly can. He says that Brian has just as good a chance at winning the match as what Kip does, no matter the referee. Brian asks Nick if he wants to know how Brian knows that he’s lying, but instead of answering his own question, Pillman smiles crazily and backs out of the room. As Tony, Bobby, and Jesse talk about this, we zoom in on a sign in the crowd that says “PULL THE GUN, PILLMAN!”</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/StevieRay.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Animal.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/DustyRhodes2.jpg</span><p> <strong>Stevie Ray vs. Road Warrior Animal w/Dusty Rhodes</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:8px;">Referee: Mark Curtis</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> This one epitomizes “big men brawling” as these two heavy hitters just throw punches and clubbing forearms at one another from bell to bell.

The ending comes not from the work of “American Outlaw” Dusty Rhodes on the outside, but rather Animal’s championship partner Hawk, who swoops in undetected by Mark Curtis by trading Animal places while outside the ring, leaping off the top with a huge clothesline and covering his face and head while making the cover to get what could be the most tainted win possible.

He says that he saw Regal hanging around the back, so he wants to call him out and challenge him for a match next week right here on Saturday Night!

Storm takes some advantage early on, not by cheating but by solid mat wrestling to keep the champion grounded. A fan has a sign asking “Does Lance Storm even own a Television?” which would probably be a good reason for him to not be the TV champ. Pillman fights back against the tide by trying to speed the match up, but that too plays into Lance’s hands, and he matches Pillman move-for-move and hold-for-hold for the majority of this matchup. Most of the way through this one, commentary discuss how even with the acumen of the challenger, they hadn’t expected him to put up this much fight, as Tony especially figured Pillman would be making another routine title defense here. The two men likely would have gone on all night, but Lance has his focus taken out of the game when “Living Legend” Larry Zbyszko comes down to ringside and taunts him with a challenge for a match before SuperBrawl with he and partner Malenko against Badd and Wright! A fan’s sign quickly appears saying “Lance, right now you have no Chance!” As Storm is accepting the challenge, he doesn’t realize Brian coming back to his senses, and when Lance turns, Pillman jumps up and catches him with The Loaded Gun jumping tornado DDT to pick up the victory and retain his championship in a much harder fought match than anticipated.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner in 12:12 and STILL WCW World Television Champion: Brian Pillman</em></p><p><em> Rating: C</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/HulkHogan2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Kip.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/JimmyHart2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GeneOkerlund.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Mean Gene is backstage, and he talks about the WCW Hotline briefly before bringing in his guests at this time, Hollywood Hogan, California Kip, and Jimmy Hart. Hogan handles most of the talking here, much like last week, as Okerlund asks him about Brian Pillman saying Nick Bockwinkel is trying to hand Kip the World’s TV title? Hollywood says that the only thing he knows, is that California Kip here is the next champion, no matter what little boy Brian thinks the reasoning is going to be. Gene asks if that is a confession as to having paid off the referee, which makes the KoW bristle.

Reduced to a one-on-one contest, Hawk tries to pull out all stops in order to shut down his opponent. A fan cheers on the champion with a sign that says “Heated by the Warriors!” Hawk utilizes a lot of high impact power moves like powerslams, a backbreaker, and at one point a big gorilla press slam, but Booker continually comes back every time. That heart almost costs Booker at one point, as he goes for a high risk flying clothesline that doesn’t pay off at all, as Hawk dodges out of the way! The Road Warrior goes to the top in order to hit his own flying clothesline, but as he soars off the top Booker is able to hit him with a Harlem Sidekick! Booker falls on top for a pin, and Mark Curtis counts three, much to the chagrin of Hawk’s partner and manager on the outside, but a joyful celebration goes on from Stevie Ray and the Steiners!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner in 12:23: Booker T</em></p><p><em> Rating: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/DustyRhodes2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Meng.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GordonSolie.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> When we come back from break, an irate Dusty Rhodes is standing by with Gordon Solie.

Another says “Funkin’ with two!” and that is exactly what this match is all about. This one has similarities to Vader’s handicap match last week, but the similarity ends at the point where “The Monster” is facing more than one opponent. This week, the Funks are much more strong-willed enemies for this challenge, and it shows as there are even times when Vader struggles against his much more wizened veteran foes. Terry even gets a chance to break out his spinning toe hold, albeit briefly before Vader kicks him away. From there, it all goes downhill, as Vader gets his game face on and after Terry gets knocked off the apron by a big Vader bodyblock, Dory is left all alone and is victimized by the angry monster. Sonny Onoo snaps pictures on his disposable camera as Vader drills Dory with a clothesline and drags him to the corner, hitting a Vader Bomb that ends the match.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner in 8:35: Vader</em></p><p><em> Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Right before we go to break, we see “Macho Man” Randy Savage walking backstage, pacing back and forth muttering to himself about how he’s gonna take Steamboat’s head off tonight, but he’s gonna make sure he leaves the shoulders so he can pin them!

Ricky tags out to Cactus, who holds his own with the crazed brawling of The Macho Man. Jack tags back out to Steamboat, who chops Savage senseless, until a blatant eye gouge puts the match in the corner of the KoW. Savage and Orndorff take turns tagging in and out, punishing Ricky the whole time. Jack does what he can to keep the crowd in the match, but he doesn’t have to do much as the crowd do all they can to will “The Dragon” back to life time and time again! The fans hold up signs for their respective heroes, such as “The Hardcore Dragons”, but some are fans of Savage, with a sign of “Nobody Can Stop The Madness!” out there, and one saying “The Kings are Hardcore too!” Steamboat finally gets the hot tag out to Cactus after he backflips “Mr. Wonderful” out of the ring following an attempted piledriver! All four men invade the ring then, fighting tooth and nail in a personal war of attrition! Savage tries to throw Steamboat out, but he skins the cat back into the ring, chasing Savage down and clotheslining both of them out of the ring, shades of his tag partner! But as Tommy Young goes to check on them, Dusty Rhodes slips the same object that Orndorff used at Uncensored to him, and he clocks Cactus with it! Jack falls back into the corner, and Orndorff rolls him up, placing his feet on the middle ropes, in order to get the very cheap pinfall!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners in 15:39: Randy Savage & Paul Orndorff</em></p><p><em> Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RandySavage.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/PaulOrndorff.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> The match is over, but one of the victors isn’t happy about it!

Hollywood takes the microphone and says that he’s glad to see a win in the main event, unlike LAST week… Piper grabs the microphone and says that Hogan needs to watch his tone, before he loses his backup! Savage says that despite it being a win in the record books, he’s still not pleased because Orndorff pinned Jack, meaning he has not defeated Ricky Steamboat! He says how Hogan needs to “watch his boy” before Savage knocks the wonderful off his face! Hollywood calms things down, until Steamboat comes back out! He taunts Savage, saying that he doesn’t mind that they lost that match, because when it comes to SuperBrawl, “The Dragon” will be doing what he does best – beat the odds and defeat the Macho Man! Randy loses his cool, kicking the bottom rope and telling Steamboat to come down to the ring, but Ricky doesn’t budge. Hollywood says that it doesn’t matter what Steamboat has to say, because when he went one-on-one with Hollywood, after all those years, he couldn’t get the job done! Steamboat says that he understands revisionist history as good as the next man, but if Hogan wants to put his money where his mouth is on how good he is, then maybe the three “legends” in the ring should join up next week, twenty-four hours from SuperBrawl for a match! “The Dragon” says that he has some partners waiting…… right here!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RicFlair.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RickMartel.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> “The Nature Boy” and Rick Martel join Steamboat at the top of the aisle as the crowd cheers wildly! Flair “Wooooo!”s loudly, saying that if there is any amount of guts between the men in the ring, they’ll meet the three of them next week in the ring, so we can see who takes the momentum heading into SuperBrawl! Martel actually gets some mic time, and he says that he can’t wait to team with Ron Simmons at SuperBrawl to get his hands on Piper and Rogers; but until then, he will gladly mix it up with Piper, Savage, and especially Hogan to show the Kings of Wrestling who they need to pay more attention to! The KoW convene in the ring for a moment, before Hollywood nods his head in agreement!

He talks about how he was quite pleased to leave Kip as an afterthought, but then he stuck his nose in his business at Uncensored. Now he has him at SuperBrawl, and with King Bockwinkel naming a special referee? The fun has just begun. Pillman laughs, saying that the title will stay right where it is, and then it’s back to Savage, and we fade out of shot on the crazily laughing face.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RandySavage.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> As we head to break, Macho Man Randy Savage is shown walking backstage, muttering to himself that he’s here to find Steamboat tonight!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RicFlair.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/ArnAnderson.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/DustinRhodes.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GeneOkerlund.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Mean Gene Okerlund is in the arena when we come back, and he brings out his guests “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, “Enforcer” Arn Anderson, and “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes! Flair starts the show, saying that the party is in Long Beach, and there’s no party like a “Nait-cha Boy” party! Getting down to business, he says that last week he showed Hogan that there is no fear, there is no backing down in Ric Flair. Flair will stand there for every punch, every chop, maybe even every low blow, in the effort of winning back the only title in this country that matters, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Gene changes gears and turns to Dustin, who says that he looks forward to SuperBrawl because he’s going to take something away from his father, that being the undefeated streak of his Wonderful Destruction Crew. Arn finishes the segment out, saying that at SuperBrawl, he will be proud to help Dustin do this, but tonight it’s all about “The Enforcer” and Roddy Piper. He says that Piper made it sound two weeks ago like the two of them had something in common since both of them have never held world gold, but what Piper seems to forget is that it’s the ONLY thing they have in common. Arn says that Roddy likes to say that people have to pay the Piper, but tonight he’ll make Piper choke on the check Anderson will put down his throat! Okerlund says that will be later tonight, so stay tuned fans!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B+</em></p><p><em> Notes: Flair and Arn performed well when improvising, but Dustin did poorly.

Bockwinkel stands in the ring and says that he’s happy to be on the show this week, but he will apologize if this visit is short because he needs to get back to business. He says how hard it is keeping this place running at top shape, making WCW the best wrestling on the planet for all of the fans! Jesse says that Nick needs to just hold on for a minute, because he has some hard-hitting questions for him as a journalist that he needs answers for, and most of them deal with the TV champion, Brian Pillman! The crowd cheer for Brian’s mention, as Nick shakes his head. He says he doesn’t really want to go into the subject of Mr. Pillman much more than he has to, but Jesse insists, saying that he’s known Nick for a long, long time; he never gets his feathers so ruffled like he has over Brian. Saying that he’ll fire him when he loses the TV title? Jesse says that is incredibly harsh motivation, especially for someone who the fans that Nick just pandered toward come to see and tune in to watch. Bockwinkel says that what’s gotten under his skin is how Brian has been walking around acting as if he knows something, when he doesn’t know anything. He’s just a crazed man on a tear, and in his day you don’t give to the men who try to bully those around him, you push them off to the side. He talks about how the TV title doesn’t mean as much now that it’s been on Brian, because it’s merely a prop to him, and that rubs Nick the wrong way. He says that everything about the way Pillman’s been acting in the past few months has been unsuitable to a champion of this great company. Jesse says what about the rumors that Brian has been talking about, that Nick has been a corrupt official in WCW?</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p>“Yeah, what about that, Nicky?”</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/BrianPillman2.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Out of the back comes “The Loose Cannon” in person! Pillman slides into the ring, crashing the party with his presence. Pillman says that he wants to be right here, looking Nick right in the eyes to see him answer the charges Brian has put forth to him. Bockwinkel furrows his brow, saying that he has no idea what Brian is talking about. Nick says that he has done a lot for WCW to be on top of the wrestling world ever since he was appointed commissioner earlier this year, he has not been corrupt as much as what he is just trying to put on a good, family friendly show that can be enjoyed by wrestling fans of all ages. Just because he wants to protect impressionable children by doing away with bad influences on his shows, somehow that makes him corrupt? Jesse says that it isn’t that, but it seems as though Bockwinkel has been especially hard on men such as Brian here and United States Heavyweight champion Stunning Steve Austin! “The Body” asks if it is really a conspiracy against the two men like he’s said for so long, or does it run deeper than that?</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p>“You better start talkin’ son, cause I want to know too!”</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/SteveAustin.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The US champion now joins us, as Bockwinkel is starting to turn red at all these interruptions and accusations! Austin says that it has seemed like Bockwinkel has had it in for him ever since he became commissioner, and he thinks maybe it’s because Nick sees some of himself in Austin – a man who is the best wrestler around, who doesn’t give a crap what the fans think as long as he gets the job done. Nick replies that Austin needs to stop thinking so highly of himself, there is no connection between the two of them! Nick says that he’s known for a long time that Austin is no good, and now the rest of the world is getting to see how vulgar and uncouth he is. Austin says that Nick can hide behind “doing it for the fans” for only so long, but at some point, somebody somewhere will find out just what game exactly he is playing, and when it happens, he hopes to be there to shove it in Bockwinkel’s face. Oh, and speaking of things being put in his face… Austin flips Nick off! He turns and leaves, as Nick says that he and Pillman deserve one another, both of them are horrible individuals! But before Brian can leave, Nick says that he has one more piece of business for him – naming of the official for the TV title match at SuperBrawl. Bockwinkel says that before tonight, he would have gladly let it be one of WCW’s own amazing referees, not that Pillman would deserve it. But now? Bockwinkel says that he’s watched Brian parade around with that title for far too long, and maybe it is time he takes matters into his own hands – the referee will be the commissioner himself! He wishes Brian “bad luck” before saying that he’ll call the match as impartially as Pillman deserves! We go to a commercial break as the commissioner and Brian are face-to-face, with Jesse holding them back and thanking everyone for watching The Body Shop this week!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: C+</em></p><p><em> Notes: Pillman worked well when improvising, while Jesse enjoyed the freedom of it.</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Sting2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/MarcusBagwell.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/ThePatriot.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GeneOkerlund.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Mean Gene is backstage when we return, and he brings in his guests, three men who will be teaming tonight on WCW Saturday Night, Marcus Bagwell and The Patriot – Stars ‘n Stripes – and “The Stinger”!

Now that they’ve lost DDP, it’s gonna be a brand new day for the Stable, the three of them will be getting things done in the ring. Austin says that he hopes Nick Bockwinkel is watching what he does to the latest “golden boy” that is coming for his United States title, because he’s gonna send Sting back not needing makeup to look black and blue! Austin says that he hopes Nick makes himself a referee for one of his title defenses sometime like he has with Brian, because the first time he dares cross Stunning Steve, he won’t hesitate to drop him with a Stunner like he has so many other people lately! Gordon asks Colonel Parker who he was talking to last week on the phone, and Parker avoids the question each way Solie asks it, before the Stable finally just decree the interview to be over and walk out.

He says that when the two of them team on their own, nobody has defeated them, and if that hasn’t changed against tag veterans like the Rock ‘n Roll Express, how can it change against a scrub team like his son and Arn Anderson?</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>When we come back from commercials, Tony Schiavone says that he has some footage that happened during the break.

Steamboat starts to answer him, but it’s a trap as Randy Savage attacks from behind! The two men put the boots to Steamboat as he’s lying on the concrete floor! Savage says that he has something “The Dragon” will remember, and now we focus on what’s in his hand – a ring bell! Paul lifts Ricky up as Savage brandishes it in front of the weakened Steamboat, and he’s about to attack with it when the strangest of people comes to the rescue!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/CactusJack.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Cactus Jack steps in and pulls the weapon away from Savage, the bell clanging against the ground as Jack helps Steamboat to run the duo away!

Robert Parker vs. Sting & Stars ‘n Stripes</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Austin points out a sign in the crowd saying “Sting is about to get STUNNED!!!!” while another says that this is “A Star-STUDded and Striped Match!” Austin starts this match against The Patriot, and this one shows that not everyone in the match has to be completely over in order for it to be a very good matchup. The two tag teams of the match shine when in the ring with their main event counterparts, Austin in particular looking rather vulnerable due to his cocky attitude toward Patriot and Bagwell. One of the most notable segments of this match is at one point when BG Armstrong is in the ring. He has Marcus down on the mat following a pointed kneedrop to the face, when he stands up and looks to Sting, grabbing his crotch toward him! Tony decries that as completely unprofessional behavior and says that Nick Bockwinkel should have a look at that. Jesse wonders if he will or not, he puts on a good front but is he only after Austin and Pillman or is it anybody? Ventura also takes time to put over that Austin is calling his version of the Diamond Cutter the “Stunner”, he and Bobby saying that they like the name, while Tony just comments on how effective it has been as of late. The end of the match is when Sting gets a hot tag from Bagwell, who had been getting worked over in the Stable corner, just as Austin is tagged in! The two men who will meet at SuperBrawl trade punches with one another as the two tag teams come into the ring as well, turning it into a huge six man brawl! Mark Curtis does all he can to bring order to this chaos, as Patriot clotheslines BG out of the ring and follows him out. Colonel Parker jumps onto the ring apron, and Sting goes after him instead of putting the Scorpion Deathlock on Brad. Bagwell joins him in forcibly pulling The Colonel into the ring, but he had a plan – Parker slips something to Austin, and when Sting is going to put Parker into the Scorpion, Austin throws powder into his face! Sting heads to the outside rubbing his eyes, and Austin dodges a flying clothesline from Bagwell before turning around and blasting him with the Stunner! Parker rolls to the outside as Ausitn makes the cover – Mark Curtis counts the three! The Stud Stable steal this one thanks to Colonel Parker!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners: The Stud Stable</em></p><p><em> Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The match result official, the crowd boo loudly as Austin exits the ring. He stops on the apron to hold up his United States Championship, flaunting it at Sting, as well as flaunting a fan’s sign reading “Sting is going to get the Stunning Salute”! “The Stinger” finishes checking up on Bagwell, and then he takes off toward Stunning Steve! The champion quickly drops from the apron and sprints backstage, as Sting can be heard on camera saying that he’ll “be seeing you at SuperBrawl, coward!”</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>A video plays from two weeks ago to show the closing moments of the confrontation between Roddy Piper and Arn Anderson, which set up our main event this evening.

The crowd seem to be especially into this, with signs everywhere such as “The Enforcer Pays the Piper!”, “Enforce the Skirt”, and “It’s not a kilt—it’s a SKIRT!”, which two of those infuriate Piper on his way to the ring. The two set about putting on a wrestling clinic once they get into the swing of the match. However this one ends up being rife with disruptions. At one point Meng and Orndorff show up and grab Arn’s attention, leading to Piper gaining the advantage again. They hang out around the ring then, continually getting in Anderson’s way. Until backup comes out in the form of Dustin Rhodes, and also Ron Simmons! Simmons gets on the apron to get Piper’s attention, but he doesn’t actually do anything until he and Dustin run off the US Tag champs! Once its one-on-one again, Roddy tries to lock on a sleeper, but “Double A” blocks it and after sending Piper to the ropes, Roddy blocks the spinebuster but doesn’t get away from a DDT! Anderson covers and gets a surprising three count! Piper leaves the ring kicking the ring steps in anger on his way out as Arn celebrates in the ring as the show closes!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner: Arn Anderson</em></p><p><em> Rating: B+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWMainEvent-1.jpg</span><p> <strong>WCW Main Event</strong></p><p> Announcers: Gordon Solie, Tony Schiavone, and Eric Bischoff</p><p> Rating: C</p><p> </p><p> Hakushi d.

I have two small notes to make, in the interest of keeping you all informed. For one, I've imported the locations file used in the Main Event mod, because I'm just getting so tired of only seeing the same handful of arenas, especially for pay per views. So if you see an arena pop up that has been shut down in between 1988 and 1994, that's the reason. Also, I've been thinking as of late, that ya know, this is 1994/95 WCW. That being said, things have been taking themselves WAY too seriously on my shows. I think in the very near future, it's gonna be time for some campy fun to break up the seriousness....</p>

He grabs a microphone and calls Terry Gordy out right now, saying that he has some business he wants to take care of before he gets to the business of beating him down tonight!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/TerryGordy.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Gordy answers the call quickly, and the two take center stage as Hayes fills us in on the story of their feud in WCW thus far: Terry keeps coming at him, but not once has he backed down an inch! “P.S.” tells us that he never intends to stop, and he knows that Terry won’t stop until he does, so they find themselves at a stalemate: which one will give first? And that’s when it hit him: the perfect way for their feud to finally end. In Virginia at SuperBrawl, he proposes that they find the one way that will make one of them be forced to do just that. He wants to see Gordy across the ring in one of the most brutal matches possible; a no disqualification, no count out, no pinfall, no stoppage, only way to win is to make your opponent scream “I Quit” match! Gordy thinks about it for all of three seconds before smirking evilly and saying simply “Have Jimmy Jam draw up your funeral.” The match is set for SuperBrawl V!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: C-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/MichaelHayes.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/JPL.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/TerryGordy.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/StevenRegal.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/LannyPoffo.jpg</span><p> <strong>Michael “P.S.” Hayes & JPL vs. Terry Gordy & Lord Steven Regal w/Baron Leonard Tomas</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> The first match of the evening gets us off to a decent start with this tag team match. The teams are between two of WCW’s top midcard feuds and it doesn’t fail to disappoint on that front, however… Gordy and Regal completely seem to throw one another off all the way through this match, and that means Hayes and JPL are able to keep their rivals off-balance enough to gain some ground. Lord Regal does what he can to avoid “sullying his hands” with JPL, unless Gordy has him already down on the mat. Baron Tomas on the outside picks on a fan who’s sign asks “Can you speak German Mr. Baron?” by doing so. The match comes to a head when Hayes and Regal are able to make hot tags to their partners. Gordy starts to take over on JPL, at which point his Lordship tells Terry to grab him for a double team. But JPL is too fast, and he slips out of the way as Regal decks Gordy!

JPL says that he has unfinished business with Regal, and he won’t stop pestering him until he has gotten his measure of revenge. He says that he wants his Lordship at SuperBrawl! Lord Regal saunters back toward the ring, his arm behind his back, replying that “my dear young fool,” he already thrashed JPL at Uncensored, and so there is no reason for him to meet him again. But if what JPL wants is to face off with a person above his class, then he shall square off with the good Baron next week on Saturday Night!

On the other hand, Meng and Orndorff have yet to drop a tag team match since they began teaming. Unfortunately the crowd didn’t seem to get very into this match, no matter what our resident old school tag specialists the Express throw into the match. The outcome is so predicted that a sign in the crowd quips “Rock nad Roll never forgets the beating they get tonight!” The US Tag titles find a new home when instead of Gibson coming in for the hot tag, he runs straight into Meng latching on the Tongan Deathgrip, and its paralyzing effects put Robert flat on his back for a pinfall.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners and NEW WCW United States Tag Team Champions: Wonderful Destruction Crew</em></p><p><em> Rating: C</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Morton comes back and tries to break it up, but Orndorff catches him with a running forearm smash!

He says that it seems like each week they get stronger, no matter how many steps forward we make. He says that Randy Savage has been walking around like he runs the place since he first set foot in WCW, and it is about time that someone show him that none of us are afraid of him and his brand of psychotic! “The Dragon” says that he’s played Savage’s games before and won, and at SuperBrawl one-on-one and tonight in the big six-man tag, it will be no different!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RobertFuller.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/SteveAustin.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> We head to footage marked “Earlier Today” where Colonel Robert Parker is talking on the phone.

Austin throws down his bags and starts complaining to a stuttering Colonel about how he can’t believe that fossil Bockwinkel is trying to fine him for his little display of standing up to Sting last week, and again for his celebration the week before! He says it’s Bockwinkel going mad with power, like usual, trying to hold him down, but he won’t win, eh eh! Because Austin’s wanted Sting or Flair or any of them in the ring for a long time and it’s about damn time he gets somewhere! Parker tells him to just calm down a bit, but Austin doesn’t. He tells Parker he has Sting calling him out later, he has to answer or else he looks like a fool! So he wants to get the boys together, straighten out some plans; where’s DDP? Parker says that well, Dallas just hasn’t felt like things were working out, so he’s taking some time away from the Stable. Austin tells him sarcastically “Great, so one less person for backup; why don’t I just give up my title right now?” Parker stammers around, saying that he’ll call in the Armstrongs, as Austin sits down and starts lacing up his boots and Parker looks at the phone nervously.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: C- </em></p><p><em> Notes: Parker struggled a bit with improvising.</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>A graphic shows us that the match agreed to a week ago will take place next week on Saturday Night, as “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson will face off with “Hot Rod” Roddy Piper!<p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RoddyPiper.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/KimberlyPage.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Kim Doll is backstage with Piper himself, and she asks for a few thoughts about next week’s match.

When the two finally meet in the center of the ring, he has Vader so frustrated that he immediately swings wildly and Funk ducks, peppering Vader with big punches of his own!

But just as he’s ready to deliver a blow that would knock Vader off his feet, Vader comes back with a one-two punch that puts Dory on his back!

To his credit, Hawk accepts the challenge from last week, as he doesn’t come to the ring with Dusty Rhodes; instead, Dusty takes Bobby Heenan’s spot on commentary during this match. Scott hopes that a front row’s sign is correct, as it reads “Steiner Brothers Pictures presents…….The Ass Kicking of the Century!” Hawk and Steiner have a very physical match, quite reminiscent of the one last week between Animal and Rick, the difference being that the crowd are more tired for this one than they were last week. Scott impresses with a few high angle suplexes, keeping Hawk off-balance, but every time Hawk comes back with bullying tactics to regain an edge. One fan is prompted to hold up a sign that says “Scott is a Warrior too!” In the end, Hawk reaches down deep – into his jeans pockets, and produces a pair of what appear to be brass knuckles, catching Scott in the stomach with the weapon when he tried to hit a Frankensteiner on him! Steiner goes down with the wind knocked out of him, and Hawk throws the object out of the ring – completely unseen by Dusty – and picks up the very, very tainted win.

He adds that next week, it’ll be off with one of their heads, as he intends to show Roddy Piper that while Piper might just be one of the toughest S.O.B’s that Arn will have ever fought, that will only make Anderson tougher on him, and his defeat will come swiftly and mercilessly. Flair then takes over, saying that he’s glad Jesse Ventura asked he and Hollywood to be on The Body Shop tonight, as it will give him a chance to see the fear in Hogan’s eyes firsthand.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Sting2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GeneOkerlund.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> A graphic tells us that during the break, Mean Gene is backstage when Sting comes up to him, hot under the collar!

Kip goes over to help Macho, but Steamboat pops out of the ring with a suicide dive, as Dustin and Bubba are counted as the legal men in the match when the bell sounds because they’re toe-to-toe throwing punches like bombs at one another in center ring! Senior Official Tommy Young has his hands full for the whole match, as he can barely blink an eye without having this body or that body flying into the ring to help or hurt someone in the ring! Everyone in the match gets their time to shine, as the KoW lay a special beating on Rhodes at one point, but the WCW side are able to isolate Kip for a little while as well. The end of the match sees Randy Savage ready to put his coup ’de grace on Steamboat with an axehandle to the outside railing, when “The Loose Cannon” shoves him off the top rope! Rhodes and Rogers are fighting in the aisleway as “The Dragon” climbs into the ring. California Kip meets him with a kick to the gut as he prepares to hit the veteran with his Silicon Valley Slam, but Steamboat hooks his arm and, in a scene eerily reminiscent to Savage, he shifts his weight to take Kip down into a pinfall to get the win! Savage pounds on the apron after the bell sounds, as Steamboat has gotten one over on him on this night, his message being clear: I’ve done this to you once, I can still do it again!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners: Ricky Steamboat, Brian Pillman, and Dustin Rhodes</em></p><p><em> Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Right before our final break of the evening, Ric Flair looks ready to go out to the ring, as he’s talking briefly with Arn Anderson.

Flair is decked out in one of his fine suits, shaking hands with Jesse and throwing a long “Whoooo” out to the appreciative Iowa crowd. Hollywood Hogan comes out to the sound of “Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)” to a much different fanfare, loud boos littering the arena as he walks to the ring in his black leather pants and black “KoW” sleeveless t-shirt, using the spraypainted World Heavyweight Championship like a guitar. Tony Schiavone says that he’s appalled by this man who once was so loved, now just acting so self-centered, just because he feels that he is “above” being here in WCW, above competing with men like Ric Flair, and Sting, and Ricky Steamboat. Jesse Ventura begins his interview, by saying that he is proud to bring together the two men who will do battle at SuperBrawl in Roanoke, Virginia, for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship inside a fifteen foot high steel cage. He says that he wants to get thoughts from both men, and he would ask that they allow one another to speak before interrupting.</p><p> </p><p> Hollywood Hogan speaks first, saying that he wants to remind everyone that he has no problem stepping foot inside a steel cage – he’s done so against far bigger and meaner men than Ric Flair in his career, and every time, he’s come out on top! Hogan says that it doesn’t matter what tricks “The Nature Girl” thinks he has up his sleeve, Hollywood has beaten them so far every time. He decrees that the KoW are what is running wild now, pointing out signs in the crowd for the Kings, including one that says “Bow Down to The Kings of Wrestling” and using that as his reason to say that even in WCW, even as he and his brothers have been beating WCW wrestlers silly, the crowd are still on his side! Because what they’re saying is the truth, that WCW and its stars will always be second best compared to Hollywood Hogan, and his Kings of Wrestling!</p><p> </p><p> Ric Flair takes in all that the champion has to say, and he very calmly takes off his jacket. He says that Hogan is right – he’s never lost a high stakes cage match. But just the same, he’s never beaten Ric Flair without assistance, and that is assistance he will not have inside the steel. Whether it is Roddy Piper, whether it’s Bubba Rogers, whether it’s his Queen on the outside of the ring, he’s always had help in their matches. For once, Hollywood Hogan will be forced to face Ric Flair all on his own, and that is why he chose a steel cage match! Flair says that he knows he can defeat Hollywood one-on-one – but is Hogan that confident?</p><p> </p><p> Hollywood laughs it off, saying that Flair better make sure that Anderson or Dustin better be allowed in the ring with Flair, or else he may just get what he’s asking for! A fan’s sign is seen in the background saying “A War with the Kings!” as Flair responds that the only way we will truly be able to know who is the best, is for both of them to meet in single combat, steel cage keeping out any outside factors. Because there is still one thing that Hollywood Hogan cannot say he has ever done in his storied career: completely and fully defeat “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair. And until he does that, he’s never going to have another sleepless night. When Hogan’s career finally ends, there will be one asterisk at the bottom of the page – Ric Flair. Hollywood squares up to Flair, saying that he makes it sound as if Ric Flair will be so remembered as Hollywood Hogan ever will be; he’s wrong. Instead, Ric Flair’s career will be the footnote, just another man who wasn’t as big an icon as men like Hogan and Piper. Flair smiles, saying that Hogan may be right. But he knows who will outshine even Hollywood in due time – the man who Hogan couldn’t defeat at Starrcade.</p><p> </p><p> Hollywood is incensed, and he answers Flair with a punch! Ventura bails out of the ring as Flair chops Hogan across the chest, and the two men begin fighting all around the ring! Security finally start to hit the ring, trying to split the two apart. The show fades as a fan holds up a very long sign into the hard camera saying something about Randy Savage and a doctor, but just as importantly, a host of officials holding apart champion and challenger for SuperBrawl!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: A </em></p><p><em> Notes: All three men improvised well in this segment.</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWMainEvent-1.jpg</span><p> <strong>WCW Main Event</strong></p><p> <em>Announcers: Gordon Solie, Eric Bischoff, and Bobby Heenan</em></p><p><em> Rating: C+</em></p><p> </p><p> Saturday Night recap video: Hollywood Hogan and Ric Flair on The Body Shop (A*)</p><p> Ichii Yazaki d.

Tony says that Savage has been in the ring since before we went on the air, and Heenan says he hasn’t shut up since! Savage rants that last week, he was humiliated by a man in a dress, and these sorta things don’t just happen and then go unpunished by the Macho Man! He says that Pillman is livin’ very dangerous lately, and who would know better than the Macho Man about bein’ in the danger zone, yeah! Randy says that WCW are in for a big surprise when they find out they can’t make a fool of the Macho Man, because someone’s gonna get hurt over this, and they’re gonna get hurt bad! He says that people have been afraid of him for years, that’s why they try to shuffle him off to the side, but he’s the real deal! And everyone’s afraid of facing the Macho Man ‘cause they’re gonna fall hard! And nobody beats the Macho Man on the grand stage, diggit?!

There are 70-some thousand people in Detroit a few years ago who saw differently! Savage starts to rant that “that was a fluke, yeah!” but Steamboat continues over him. “Everyone’s afraid of facing the Macho Man? Well I’m not, and I never have been!” Steamboat closes the segment by saying that the only thing he sees that’s changed since then, is that while both men have gotten a little older, Savage has only gotten crazier in his age, but Ricky has grown wiser. With that, he leaves, Randy living up to that assessment in the ring by kicking the ropes and screaming for “The Dragon” to come to the ring! Tony talks about how we just started on a huge segment to open the show, and if previous weeks on WCW Saturday Night are any indication, it’ll only get bigger and better from here!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/MichaelHayes.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/StevenRegal.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/LannyPoffo.jpg</span><p> <strong>Michael “P.S.” Hayes vs. Lord Steven Regal w/Baron Leonard Tomas</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> This one should have been a total clash of styles, as the brawler Hayes takes on the technical acumen of Lord Regal. And that is what it looks like when either man is in control; Regal does what he can to slow the match down and put it on the mat, and when Hayes comes back he does so with wild abandon and dramatic offense that takes his Lordship out of his gameplan. Tomas doesn’t interfere, but he does keep Regal’s head in the game and keep him calmed down when “P.S.” gets on the offensive. Lord Regal seems perplexed at ringside at a sign that says “Being Pure Sexy isn’t Royal!” as he yells at the fan holding it “Who are you cheering for?!?” This match is unfortunately cut short as an appearance by Terry Gordy happens just as Hayes is about to hit the DDT on Regal. As referee Randy Anderson is telling Tomas to get off the ring apron, Gordy slips into the ring and hammers his bitter rival with a lariat so hard that takes him for a backflip! Terry leaves the ring and ducks down, giving Anderson no idea that he was even there. Regal puts on the Regal Stretch, and Gordy watches over the ring apron… but even half knocked out, Hayes won’t submit! Regal finally releases the hold, much to Gordy’s chagrin as Lord Regal drills a knee into the back of Michael’s head to put him out in a very good opening contest.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner: Lord Steven Regal</em></p><p><em> Rating: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/TerryGordy.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/MichaelHayes.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> As the snobby duo leave the ring, Hayes comes to and finds Gordy on the outside laughing as he rubs his hands together.

Hart then says that he knows what will get Bockwinkel to agree to what they want right now. Kip leans over the desk and says that, especially after last week, he wants Pillman.

Bobby and Jesse say that it’s just possible that Page isn’t cutting it anymore, as Tony says that all of Page’s losses the past few weeks have been the result of Colonel Parker’s interference going awry. In this one, Dallas goes straight after the veteran Bobby, not giving him much of a chance to breathe as he takes the offense and rarely lets it go. Eaton struggles back, using all of his wiles to his advantage, coming off the top with a big missile dropkick that swings the momentum his way. Bobby climbs to the top, looking to end this match with the Alabama Jam, when Parker gets up on the apron! Nick Patrick is being detained by Page, and Colonel Parker shoves Eaton off the top – but Eaton turns it into a crossbody on Dallas! He hooks the leg, and there’s nothing Page can do – this one’s over, and Page and Parker are arguing for the second week in a row!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner: Bobby Eaton</em></p><p><em> Rating: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/JPL.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GordonSolie.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Gordon Solie is backstage and he brings in JPL, asking him about Lord Steven Regal and the unfortunate manner at which he was robbed of his undefeated streak at Uncensored.

He only did that before, because he was following in Regal’s footsteps. Instead of keeping up with the past, instead he’s looking toward the future, and the future will see him get his revenge on Regal for that. He says how Regal got another cheap win earlier tonight, as it seems that’s how his Lordship does things. So he wants to give another chance to someone else who’s gotten cheated by Regal, and on behalf of Michael Hayes, he’s challenging Lord Regal and Terry Gordy to a match next week on Saturday Night!

He gets a microphone and talks about how something’s been bugging him the past few weeks. He says that he’s been watching as a career nobody has been involved in huge things on Saturday Night, and it just rubs him the wrong way. Piper says that in his career, he’s been the guy who was overlooked, he’s been the big cheese, and he’s been the better man who got passed over, but he’s never just been “backup” which is why when they started the Kings of Wrestling, he was the first one of the Trinity to come out of the woodwork. But now he sees “backup” getting chances that he doesn’t deserve, and that’s a problem. With that in mind, he calls out… Arn Anderson.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/ArnAnderson.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> “The Enforcer” shows no fear, marching down to the ring and not just getting a microphone, but forcibly ripping it from Piper! Roddy bows out, going over and getting one of his own again, as Anderson tells him very calmly that he’s had a lot of people say a lot of things about him in his career and his life. He’s had people call him glorified backup for a long time. He’s had people call him Flair’s underling and a horse’s ass. But of all the things he’s heard over the years, he’s never had someone try to tell him that he has gotten something he doesn’t deserve! Arn says that he and Piper are in the same boat; they’re both guys who have never been able to climb that mountain. But, Arn says, at least he didn’t get there because he made it that way – not because he wasn’t good enough to do it! Piper fires back that Anderson took the coward’s way out then, and the two men go nose-to-nose! “Double A” says that he’s not a man of many words, that he prefers to do his talking in the ring. He knows Piper, and he knows that he’ll sit out here and talk until a normal man is blue in the face… but that’s exactly how “The Enforcer” can fight ya. Anderson says that if Roddy wanted to goad him into a match, a fight, or anything in between, he doesn’t have to talk; all he has to do is make sure he has something manly under that kilt, and Anderson will be waiting. Arn turns and walks out of the ring, as Piper says that he’ll face him, he’ll face him right here on Saturday Night – in two weeks! Anderson doesn’t even give him an answer; instead, he turns around and points at Piper, before slowly drawing his thumb across his throat! That looks like an accepted challenge!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RickyMorton.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RobertGibson.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/KimberlyPage.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Kim Doll is backstage, and she’s standing by with WCW United States Tag Team Champions the Rock ‘n Roll Express!

Can you dig that, sucka?” Knobbs works over Booker for quite a while in the corner, Sags joining in and keeping the ring cut off. But Stevie Ray comes in to even the odds, turning this one into a huge brawl, until the inevitable happens and Booker is able to come off the top with his Harlem Hangover on Knobbs to secure the victory.

He just doesn’t have time to play with Dustin anymore now that he’s managing so many big names in the KoW, but Dustin shouldn’t be too upset about that; after all, he should be used to his father being busy and kept away from home by now. Dustin seethes, before gritting his teeth and telling Dusty that he’s going to MAKE him make time for him now in ways that he wasn’t able to as a little boy in Texas, and that’s by taking something so dear to him and taking it away! He says that at Uncensored, he’ll gladly admit that Paul Orndorff is one hell of a wrestler, but he could not defeat Dustin Rhodes without a foreign object! Dusty says quickly that he can’t have another match with Orndorff. “Mista Wondafoo” is going to be far too busy in his new tag team career. Dustin, even quicker, says that’s great, because that’s what he wants; he wants Dusty’s Wonderful Destruction Crew, in the ring! Dusty says there will be no mystery partner stuff going on, to which Dustin says that next week, he will tell for sure his partner, and at SuperBrawl, Dusty’s Wonderful Destruction Crew will be destroyed!

Rick surprises Animal by throwing the much larger foe around with a few suplexes, but the biggest thing to note in the match is that neither man backs down an inch from one another. The fans are molten hot for this match, and as it draws longer and longer, both of them start to wear down. Animal shows frustration by choking Steiner on the middle rope, earning a warning from Mark Curtis. But when Curtis turns to admonish the Tag champion further, Dusty slips over and bashes Rick on the top of the head with a bionic elbow! Rick drops to the mat, rolling around to his feet, where he gets hefted into a brutal powerslam!

Rhodes is on his way out to find Bubba and get to the ring, and the four talk about the matches they all have in the near future; Savage says he wants to get his hands on both Pillman AND Steamboat now – anytime and any place! Piper says he’ll tear “The Enforcer” up good, and Orndorff talks about how winning the US Tag belts will be just wonderful. Paul also adds that no matter what Flair throws at Hollywood, the KoW have his back. Piper says that after last week, everyone is on high alert. “Macho Man” is red hot in the background, slamming a chair on the wall. Hollywood ignores him and says to them “Good, brother, because phase C is about to go into effect, and knock out some of our actual competition.” What does that mean?!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Sting2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/GuardianAngel.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/DustyRhodes2.jpg</span><p> <strong>Sting vs. “Guardian Angel” Bubba Rogers w/Dusty Rhodes</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Jesse says what a match to begin Tommy Young’s new tenure with the company, as he’s thrown right into the thick of things with this huge main event on Saturday Night!

Dusty pounds on the mat as Rogers takes the initiative immediately, assaulting “The Stinger” with a hard-hitting attack straight out of the opening bell. Rogers’s power game takes center stage as he batters Sting from one side of the ring to the other, never letting up on him. Even when Sting does start to come back, that’s when Roddy Piper comes out and causes a distraction, putting the match right back in Bubba’s ballpark! Sting starts to fight back again, and the KoW try to bring him down again, but this time, he gets backup – Ron Simmons comes out of the crowd while Dusty and Piper have Tommy Young’s attention, and he runs in and hits a big powerslam on Rogers! Simmons slips out of the ring and makes Piper and Rhodes back away from the ring, as Sting spins in the Scorpion Deathlock! Bubba fights it for over thirty seconds, but the only way out of the Scorpion is by giving up the match!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner: Sting</em></p><p><em> Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Sting2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/SteveAustin.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> As Sting celebrates, he takes time to pause in the entrance.

<p>Is it really Wednesday night already? Wow. Fortunately I have enough of the show done by now that I feel confident in giving the <strong>24</strong>(ish) <strong>hour prediction warning</strong> for this one.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Already Predicted</span></p><p> angeldelayette</p><p> Chuck</p><p> The Final Countdown</p><p> pakonruff</p><p> Ritchardo</p><p> Russelrules44</p><p> Smasher1311</p><p> TeflonBilly</p></div><p></p><p></p>

I'd gladly take him - isn't like I haven't dealt well so far with all the rest of the locker room headaches around WCW. But unfortunately his contract isn't up yet. But I don't know if I'd be able to when the time comes anyways, as he's set to be loyal to the WWF.

<p>So just FYI.</p><p> </p><p> For one, thank you all for the comments. As I see people saying it gets better each time, I feel that; especially since Starrcade. Even I'll admit, jitters about getting to Starrcade were really bothering me, and I feel like it showed. But getting past that, now I have ideas coming to fruition and it's gotten to be just much more fun again. The only "problem" I've had with this game is just sometimes it's damn tough to know where to go next with all these huge names!</p><p> </p><p> For two, I'm going to begin implementing the Mammoth Gimmick File. So for the most part, new gimmicks will be using that; so don't be surprised to see people's gimmicks start really overlapping, but yet not overlapping because they're all set to be different types. If you haven't checked his file out yet, I really think ya should, I have no qualms about promoting its use!</p>

Jack has a microphone, and he says that he has a bone to pick with a big boy who he knows is back there, that being Vader! “The Monster” emerges, Sonny Onoo behind him looking terrified and doing all he can to keep Vader from going to the ring. Onoo gets him a microphone as well, and Vader says that obviously Jack’s brains are more scrambled than he thought, because only a fool calls out Vader! Cactus says that maybe he is a fool, but he’s a fool with purpose, and that purpose is to get revenge for his partner, mentor, and best friend Terry Funk! Jack says that he’s known Terry Funk for a long time, and if Terry is beaten up enough that he’s not here tonight, then that means Terry is pretty badly hurt yet, and there’s only one man to blame for that: Vader himself. Cactus says that maybe Vader needs taught a lesson, and maybe he won’t be the one to do it, but he will give the rest of WCW a lesson: not to be afraid of monsters! Vader laughs, and Sonny takes point to say that they had already figured Cactus be stupid enough to want to face off with Big Vader, and they will only do it in a standard singles match. He says that after the damage inflicted on Terry Funk at Uncensored, they will only agree to a match that can be stopped by a referee’s discretion. Cactus says that if it means he gets his hands on Vader, then so be it – he’ll see them at Starrcade! Before Vader leaves, however, he warns him to think about his actions in the future; you never know who might have the fortitude to step up and look “The Monster” in the eyes! Vader laughs the statement off, as Cactus smirks in the ring, yelling out a “Bang Bang!” that gets a loud cheer from the crowd.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Butcher.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/JimmyHart2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RonSimmons.jpg</span><p> <strong>The Butcher w/Jimmy Hart vs. Ron Simmons</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> In a match that took place at Starrcade, Butcher looks to finally pull out the big thorn in the KoW’s side, but much the opposite happens; never is Butcher able to get a clear advantage, as Ron dismantles him from bell to bell. Jimmy Hart tries to get on the apron, but Simmons sends Butcher careening into him, knocking him back off to the ground! Butcher gets a short flurry of offense and tries to lock on his patented sleeperhold, but it almost has no effect, as Ron stands up with Butcher on his back and flips him over his head to slam him to the canvas! Ron backs off and hits a running shoulder tackle that knocks Butcher out cold, getting a three count with just his hands on his fallen, defeated opponent.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner: Ron Simmons</em></p><p><em> Rating: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWTV.jpg</span><p> <span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/BrianPillman2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/BrianJames.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/RobertFuller.jpg</span></p><p> <strong>WCW World Television Championship</strong></p><p><strong> “Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman vs. BG Armstrong w/Colonel Robert Parker</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> The champion looks to be in an even fouler, wilder mood than usual, his loss to Savage at Uncensored weighing heavily on his mind. Or so we think, because nobody seems to know what is on Pillman’s mind anymore, not even him at times. BG puts up a solid fight against him in this match though, showing that the Armstrongs are still sound competitors and also showing why they are in the Stud Stable. BG manages to shut down a lot of Brian’s high flying offense, and commentary seem to start thinking a title change could take place here. Bobby says that would definitely please Commissioner Bockwinkel, and Jesse scoffs, saying it’s a conspiracy against Brian and Stunning Steve that Bockwinkel is so against them. Ventura points out that while Austin and Pillman have defended their titles nearly week in and week out, he hasn’t seen the US Tag titles in weeks, and Hogan certainly hasn’t defended HIS title in quite some time! Tony shrugs it off by going back to calling the action, saying that he’s sure the good commissioner knows what he’s doing. The end of the match sees Armstrong trying to set Pillman up for a pumphandle slam, but Brian fights his arm free and his elbow catches BG in the eye! Tony wonders if that was intentional or not, but one Loaded Gun DDT later and it doesn’t matter, as Brian retains his title.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner and STILL WCW World Television Champion: Brian Pillman</em></p><p><em> Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/ThePatriot.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/MarcusBagwell.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/PaulOrndorff.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Meng.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/DustyRhodes2.jpg</span><p> <strong>Winners Receive a Tag Team Title Shot</strong></p><p><strong> Stars ‘n Stripes vs. Wonderful Destruction Crew w/Dusty Rhodes</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> On their way to the ring, Patriot poses with a fan’s sign that says “Hacksaw!

These two’s match could very much go either way, with the crowd rooting on their hero Stinger all the way and Page doing all he can to secure a victory. As the match ticks away, both men seem to be getting frustrated with not being able to put one another away, and that’s when Colonel Parker makes his move. He gets on the apron and distracts Sting, and DDP rushes in from behind to shove Sting into a punch from the Colonel – but he moves, and Page takes the punch! DDP goes down, and Sting grabs his legs straight into the Scorpion Deathlock!

The ring is strangely set up with a grill, a cooler, and an American flag. Getting a microphone, Austin talks about how he’s so glad that he did what he said he would, and ended Jim Duggan’s brush with greatness! Steve makes fun of the fans for cheering on someone like Duggan, saying he was never half the great wrestler that Austin is! Austin says that in light of this, he’s holding an American celebration for everyone’s favorite United States champion, and the best US champ ever – him! Austin gets into the cooler and gets out a beer, cracking it open and lifting the hood of the grill to throw on a hot dog, but someone spoils the party!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Sting2.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> STING!

Sting grabs Austin’s microphone when Metallica fades, and says that he has always known that Stunning Steve has little shame, but this has gone too far – now he’s disrespecting the whole nation? And for what, just to get a dig at Jim Duggan, a man who is now forced to watch the show from home? Austin says if Sting is just out here to ruin his celebration, then he better check himself to the door of this party, because hell might be about to break loose! Sting says that he would like to have some hell raised right about now, and as upset as he is about Austin’s “ceremony”, he has something else on his mind, and it’s right there – pointing at the United States title! Sting explains that it’s an unwritten rule in pro wrestling that the United States champion is automatically the number one contender for the World Heavyweight title, and so logically working through that, Austin is standing in Sting’s way of taking the big gold from Hollywood Hogan! Austin says that if Sting wants some gold, he better go chase down Brian or find himself a partner, because ain’t no way Stunning Steve is gonna just roll over for anybody! Sting retorts that he’s counting on it. He adds that since he just defeated Austin’s “goon” Page, then how about we skip the formalities, and get right to the point – Sting, Austin, the US title, at SuperBrawl! The two men go nose to nose, Austin saying that Sting will be sorry he ever stuck his face where his nose doesn’t belong! He does say that Sting can join in the celebration though now that he’s here… and he spits beer in his face! “The Stinger” is ready to fight, but Austin runs, taunting Sting from the aisle!

Regardless, even this early into 1995 this is easily a match of the year candidate, and could definitely headline a major pay-per-view all around the world. Hogan and Flair show exceptional action between the two of them, but the one who surprises everyone is Anderson; proving that he belongs in the same breath as these guys easily, brawling with Savage and Hogan in what Bobby says “should have been happening back in the 80’s, but certain people were too afraid to see it happen!” Savage takes over with his crazy offense though, snapping Arn’s head over the top rope, and the KoW take over on him by working over his neck and head. At one point Hollywood chokes him on the top rope, until referee Mark Curtis admonishes him, which leads to a sign from a fan of little hope that says “Damn you Hogan! I was rooting for the Natcha Boy-a!” </p><p> </p><p> “The Enforcer” has a lot to prove though, and he stays in the match by catching Savage coming off the top rope with a spinebuster! Arn goes for a tag, and so does Savage, but Hollywood has already come into the ring and just as Arn and Ric make the tag, from behind Hogan knocks Mark Curtis down! Hogan starts waving to the back, and out comes the troops! California Kip, The Butcher, and Meng all come sprinting down to the ring, Meng attacking Anderson while Kip and Butcher go after Flair! But here comes Dustin Rhodes! Rhodes takes Meng out and brawls with him back up the aisle! Savage tosses Anderson out of the ring and goes out after him. Hogan, Kip, and Butcher stay in the ring and work over Flair, with Kip and Butcher trading shots on him while Hogan taunts “The Nature Boy”. Savage comes back into the ring, and there’s some commotion going on in the stands. Hogan is ready to level Flair with a spraypaint can, when a woman jumps the railing and shoves Butcher into Hollywood’s back, sending both men careening out of the ring! The woman produces the WCW Television title and smashes Savage with it! She whips the wig off just as security enter the ring, and it was Brian Pillman all along! He tackles Kip out of the ring as Mark Curtis is coming back around, and Savage starts getting up before being rolled up by Flair! Mark doesn’t call for the bell, but instead counts 1! 2! 3! Flair and Anderson win!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners: Ric Flair and Arn Anderson</em></p><p><em> Rating: A</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/kow.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Ric and Arn leave the ring, Pillman and Kip had brawled out of the arena. Hollywood, Savage, and Butcher are still in the ring, and Hogan gets a microphone. He says that something is rotten in Denmark, brothers, and he needs some help out here to figure out what it is. Roddy Piper and the Road Warriors come out, and they all look confused at what the champion wants. Hollywood says that lately, things just don’t seem to be going the KoW’s way, and he thinks he knows what the problem is: people who aren’t holding their weight around here. Hollywood taps Savage and Animal on the back, and says to get him! Suddenly everyone swarms Butcher! The Warriors hoist him up and hit a Doomsday Device on him, and Hogan rolls him over to paint a black “KoW” on his back, before taking up the microphone to say that this man is his best friend, and he just kicked him out like yesterday’s garbage; what’cha think we’re gonna do to the rest of WCW now?! The show fades off the air with the KoW in the ring, defeated in battle but still ready to face off this war.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWMainEvent-1.jpg</span><p> <strong>WCW Main Event</strong></p><p> Announcers: Gordon Solie, Eric Bischoff, and Bobby Heenan</p><p> Rating: C</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Lord Steven Regal defeated Jumpin’ Joey Maggs with the Regal Stretch (C-)</p><p> Eric Bischoff interviews Dusty Rhodes and Bubba Rogers about Bubba’s match next week with Sting (C+)</p><p> Texas Regulators defeat Devon Storm and The Gambler (D-)</p><p> A video plays for the Steiner Brothers (C-)</p><p> The Shooters debut in the ring, putting away the Young Pistols (D+)</p><p> A video plays recapping Austin's celebration being ruined by Sting (B)</p><p> Tommy Rich squashes Kimo (E+)</p><p> The Armstrong Brothers are interviewed by Gene Okerlund, saying it’s not over for them and Stars ‘n Stripes (D+)</p><p> The Armstrongs defeat Mark Starr and Super Nova (D+)</p><p> A video recaps the closing moments of the main event from Saturday Night (B)</p><p> Michael Hayes pins Steve Keirn ©</p></div></blockquote>

It's not by much at all, WCW and WWF are literally at a dead heat. The race right now for both is heading to international, and I really don't know which of us will get it first. Places where I'm more popular (like Japan) are evened out by places they are (like Canada) but neither of us have made the jump upwards as of yet. I did kinda make a sideways jump to England by getting on BBC, though. That seems to have been a good thing.</p><p> </p><p> This really is the right timeframe for a story like the Kings of Wrestling to happen. Hogan, Savage, Flair, and Piper are over the peak but not out of their primes yet, and they've put on great matches with practically anyone I throw at them. Add in the early rise of the Loose Cannon and Sting's ascension, and there's no reason why this WCW won't make it! Especially if I go ahead with thoughts and in a few months unleash Nitro on the world...</p>

But the gambit seems to have paid off, as many are now considering World Championship Wrestling as the number one promotion in the world, the first time since the early 80's that a company has surpassed the mighty World Wrestling Federation. That is not to say that the WWF is dead and buried yet, as there is a long climb to the top in this war. But if WCW can continue to keep up the quality that their Saturday Night flagship and monthly pay-per-view schedule has in the last six months, who's to say what can happen? Especially since rumor has it that the higher-ups of the company are murmuring about the possibility of a live show to go head-to-head with Monday Night Raw. Only time will tell what will happen in the future between these two titans of pro wrestling.

From there, they head up the ramp fighting all the way, and it even spills into the crowd now that this time there is no security going to stop them! At one point, Savage grabs a fan’s sign to try and use as a weapon, obviously liking that it said “Macho Man is going to snap into Pillman!” Brian gets an advantage and hops the railing, going back into the ring. He’s taken by surprise though when he sees Commissioner Bockwinkel coming down to the ring! He does nothing though, merely walking over to Tony and Jesse and putting on a headset to provide some commentary and by his own words, “get a better view of this match”. But the champion’s focus is lost, and the Macho Man capitalizes like a shark, rushing into the ring and dropping Brian’s throat across the top rope!</p><p> </p><p> Once each man has been sufficiently weakened, or so the other thinks, they begin making use of the straightjacket being carried around by Mark Curtis. Some strange fan holds up a sign that reads “Hey Brian, Guess what? Macho Man 316 says he just straight jacketed your ass!” whatever that means. Bockwinkel does a good job of hiding it for a little while, but it’s clear that he’s pulling for Savage to win this one. Jesse calls him on it, but Nick dismisses it as Jesse “believing in rumors thrown about by a crazy man trying to hurt my reputation as commissioner”. While back out of the ring, Savage hits Brian with a double axe handle from the top rope, then gets in the ring and poses for the crowd, with most booing him but some fans loving getting to see “The Macho Man” on display again. He turns around into Air Pillman though! Brian caught him good, and he goes to put on the straightjacket. Savage fights it, but one thing helps him fight it more than anything: an attack from California Kip! Kip smashes the TV champion across the back with a steel chair, before picking him up and hitting him with the Silicon Valley Slam! Savage comes to again, and he goes up to hit the Flying Elbow! Pillman still stirs, so Kip holds him by placing the chair on him for Savage to go up and hit another Flying Elbow, this time on the steel chair! This time when Macho turns and poses, there are no fans loving the wild Savage in action. Between the two of them, they hoist Brian up and lock him into the straightjacket, winning the match to the chagrin of everyone watching on who is not the WCW commissioner. Tony calls this a wild, crazy fight that was ruined in the end, but one fact remains: it was one of the best opening matches to a pay-per-view in the history of our sport.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner at 15:59 : Randy Savage</em></p><p><em> Rating: A</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/kow.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> We head backstage where Hollywood Hogan, Roddy Piper, and Dusty Rhodes are watching on a big screen monitor.

A few gangs (read: plants) are seen sitting on the cars, a lot of them banging chains and pipes against the trunks and doors of the cars. Into the area comes Terry Gordy, wearing street clothes, and he looks around. He asks into the darkness where Hayes is, saying he guesses after making the challenge, he was too afraid to show up! Gordy starts going to the gangs, asking them if they know where Michael is at, when one of them attacks him! He whips off the hood of his sweatshirt to reveal Hayes! Michael gets an advantage in the brawl through this trickery, one that he keeps by slamming Gordy’s head into a car hood! This “match” is mostly a lot of fists flying, Michael’s hands taped to absorb some of the impact against Gordy’s face. Terry is on the proverbial ropes (proverbial because in this one there are no ropes to speak of) until Hayes tries to jump off of a car trunk at him, and Gordy catches him in mid-air! Terry hefts Hayes up and smashes him down onto a car hood chest first! Gordy now takes over, throwing Michael around like a ragdoll before looking to hit a lariat on him. But Hayes ducks, and he back body drops Gordy through a windshield! Hayes lays back over him, and Randy Anderson (looking very “white” in a WCW t-shirt, jeans, and a bandana) delivers a three count!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner at 10:25 : Michael Hayes</em></p><p><em> Rating: C</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RonSimmons.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GeneOkerlund.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Back into the building, Mean Gene is backstage with Ron Simmons.

The match will have five minute rounds, you cannot move on a grounded opponent, and you get two warnings for rulebreaking before being disqualified. The first round sees Regal go out of his way to toy with his young opponent, wrestling circles around him and making certain to try and fluster JPL. Much to Regal’s displeasure, JPL not only doesn’t fluster, but he manages to fire back some very nice technical offense to retaliate, and that sends Lord Regal out of the ring to regroup. Baron Tomas talks to him to get Regal calmed back down, and when he re-enters the ring, he’s much more serious about this match. It takes no time at all before his Lordship is caught using illegal leverage from the ropes, leading to his first warning. He looks upset, but more about being caught than anything. The first five minute round ends, with JPL looking somewhat smug about having lasted longer than Regal expected him to have. In the second round, JPL takes charge, using a running knee lift and clotheslines in order to turn the tide in his favor and bring the fans into the match. The undefeated young star tries to hook up the Pedigree, but Regal is able to trip him and delivers a surprising giant swing! Jesse says that’s smart, in this match you cannot do anything to a grounded opponent, but Nick Patrick obviously didn’t think that JPL was on the ground, so Regal gets away with that. His Lordship works in a headlock, which JPL fires him off of to hit a high knee after a criss-cross! It only gets a two count, and when he goes for another Pedigree, Lord Regal has only one way out, dropping to a knee and hitting a low blow! Nick Patrick admonishes him again, and he’s out of warnings. The next period ends as JPL comes back, peppering Regal with rights and lefts that rock him to his core. Lord Regal is on the ropes, and Baron Tomas is on the apron trying to talk strategy between rounds. When the time is up, Tomas is still on the apron, and Nick Patrick starts telling him he has to get down for the next round to start. As the two are talking, JPL comes over to Regal, and Regal blasts him in the stomach with the Baron’s cane! Nick Patrick saw nothing! Regal sends the cane flying to the floor on the other side of the ring and drills an illegal (in this match, anyways) fist drop into the downed JPL’s face before covering – 1! 2! 3! Lord Regal just cheated his way to breaking JPL’s undefeated streak!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner in 10:12 : Lord Steven Regal</em></p><p><em> Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/BobbyHeenan2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RicFlair.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/ArnAnderson.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/DustinRhodes.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> We head backstage to see Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Dustin Rhodes sitting in the locker room alongside Bobby “The Brain” Heenan.

He hopes they’ll forgive him, but after his match with Orndorff tonight, he’s going home for the evening.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/TerryFunk.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Vader.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/SonnyOnoo.jpg</span><p> <strong>No Disqualification Match</strong></p><p><strong> Terry Funk vs. “The Monster” Vader w/Sonny Onoo</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:8px;">Referee: Mickey Jay</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Tony says that this is what Uncensored is all about: whereas the last match seemed to have stricter rules, in this match there are none. Vader goes straight for the hard-hitting offense, especially on an opponent who isn’t fast enough to dodge all of it, but what he doesn’t expect is that the Funker may take a few hits, but he hits back just as hard! Terry takes the opening advantage, surprising “The Monster” with left hands and sending him barreling out of the ring with a big clothesline! For once, Vader seems to have met his match, perhaps not in brute strength but in ability to take punishment and still give a beating! Funk follows after, not letting Vader get too far out of this element, and he sends the big man into the guardrail. Sonny Onoo looks like he might do something, but all it takes is one move toward him and he runs from Funk. Jesse says that he’s surprised it took this long for Funk and Vader to interact, after last year when the two were acting together against Sting. He says that he spoke to Onoo earlier tonight, and Sonny said that Vader was staying away from Terry out of respect, but now he’s signed his death warrant. Tony says that remains to be seen, as Funk goes under the ring and starts pulling out weaponry! He bashes Vader with an aluminum garbage can, before putting it on his torso and slamming him into the turnbuckle post! Funk fires Vader into the ring, bringing along a few weapons such as chairs, the aforementioned (and now bent) trash can, and a kendo stick, which Tony doesn’t know the name of. Funk takes the kendo and begins caning Vader with it, welts beginning to appear on his body! Terry then picks up the chair and slams it down onto the head of Vader – but it just pisses him off! Vader throws the chair away, and with the next swing of the kendo he grabs it and yanks Funk into essentially a short-arm clothesline! Vader splashes Funk as he’s on the mat, and Terry stays down. Vader now picks up the trash can and sets it on Funk before splashing him again! Funk starts to convulse, but Vader isn’t finished. He drags him to the corner and hits a Vaderbomb! Vader goes up again – another Vaderbomb! He calls to Onoo, who hands him a chair. He tells Sonny to hold it over Funk’s body! Even Sonny doesn’t want to do it, but Vader grabs his own manager and commands him to! A sign in the crowd seems ominous now, saying “Uncle Terry, Meet Chair!” Onoo, under duress, delicately places the chair on Funk’s torso, holding it there – and the bell sounds; Mickey Jay has stopped this match, in an effort to stop this madness!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner in 9:50 by referee stoppage : Vader</em></p><p><em> Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Vader has won the match, but now he’s upset! He grabs Mickey Jay, shoving him to the mat. Tony says that looks like it’ll be a fine for Vader for assaulting an official, but unfortunately that’s the least of our worries right now, as Terry Funk has still not moved after those two malicious Vaderbombs. Vader now commands Onoo to hold the chair again, saying he’s going to finish what he started! Onoo doesn’t want to, but Vader makes him, intimidating his own manager into doing his bidding! Vader goes up on the ropes again, pointing out a sign in the crowd that says “Vader, Meet Godzilla, Godzilla, Meet Vader”. He bounces on the ropes, and…</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/CactusJack.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> …..takes a low blow! Cactus Jack has hit the ring, and he shoves Vader over the top rope and to the floor! Jack helps the trainers and EMTs by keeping Vader at bay as they finally get Terry to come to, but Vader is now highly upset! Jesse says that he’s for once glad to see Cactus Jack, but at the same time, he doesn’t want to know what the payback for this from Vader will be!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: C</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/BrianPillman2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GordonSolie.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Gordon Solie has caught up with the World Television champion Brian Pillman, who is still walking around wearing his straightjacket.

Jesse says that he hopes that doesn’t come back to bite him in the end. Orndorff capitalizes on Dustin’s distraction with his father though, something else that Ventura says, how even at his age Paul is still a great competitor and can take wrestlers half his age down on experience alone. Dustin does take control for quite a while, but Jesse’s foreshadowing comes back to haunt him; “The Natural” goes for a second rope bulldog that Orndorff ducks away from, and when Dustin gets back to his feet a small package ends the first fall for “Mr. Wonderful”.</p><p> </p><p> In the second fall, Dustin seems to be getting more to basics, and when he isn’t working at a bigger goal, by not paying as much attention to Dusty on the outside, he takes full control of the match, rocking Orndorff with youthful exuberance and showing that his nickname of “The Natural” is well earned. Natural talent is what he shows in spades, and even when Orndorff locks in a sleeperhold, Dustin’s deceptive height and reach get him to the ropes easily. After a round that – despite a few moments like the sleeperhold – is all Rhodes, Dustin ends up on top, enraging his father on the outside by pinning Orndorff after a bionic elbow.</p><p> </p><p> The score tied at 1-1, both men now are looking for the killing blow to get the victory. They trade chops for a little while, Dustin getting an advantage there from obvious knife-edge chop training from the “Nature Boy”. He sends Orndorff into the ropes and goes for a backdrop, but Orndorff kicks him, sending Dustin to the ropes. When Paul drops his head, Dustin drops to his back and punches him in the face! At that, Dusty yells at referee Nick Patrick, telling him that he needs to watch Dustin from cheating – and that’s when Orndorff catches him with a punch that sends Rhodes to the mat immediately! Right before Patrick turns back around, you can see Paul slipping something into his tights again! Tony cries foul, but there’s no escape from the jumping piledriver on this one, and “Mr. Wonderful” gets a surprising victory thanks to a well-timed distraction and object.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner in 15:41 : Paul Orndorff</em></p><p><em> Rating: C</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Sting2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GeneOkerlund.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Mean Gene is again backstage, this time along with “The Stinger”!

In order to keep out of the fray, which has already spilled out around the ring, “The American Outlaw” has instead joined commentary for this match. Booker and Hawk trade blows in the ring, while Stevie and Animal are on the outside, and Randy Anderson (now back in his standard issue WCW referee attire) looks between the two of them as if watching a tennis match. Hawk and Animal get surprised by the resolve of their opponents, as all of their brawling is matched by the Heat and turned back to them. The match meanders through different combinations of them, up the ramp and back to the ring with a lot of punches and weapons. Stevie starts to take over in his fight with Hawk by utilizing a camera cable to choke him with, and then he goes after Animal. The brothers whip him to the ropes and deliver a double sidekick, Booker then going to the top for the move he used at Starrcade, Tony saying that Booker has dubbed that the “Harlem Hangover”. But Hawk comes up and shoves him, sending Booker flying clear down to the floor! With Booker incapacitated, the Road Warriors double team big Stevie Ray. Ray fights off both of them at first, but the numbers are too much, and the hometown brawlers are able to use their high impact offense of clotheslines and a powerslam, before setting him up and hitting the Doomsday Device! Booker finally stirs back to life, but he’s too slow to stop the count, and unfortunately to everyone but Dusty celebrating on commentary, we have new World Tag Team champions, members of the Kings of Wrestling.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners in 15:49 : The Road Warriors</em></p><p><em> Rating: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The match over, Dusty enters the ring. The Road Warriors shove the upset former champions out of the ring as Rhodes hand-delivers the duo’s newly won World Tag Team Championships, along with bringing along a fan’s sign that says “IT’S CHICAGO! WHAT A RUSH!”. Dusty takes a microphone, and he says that just like every other time the Road Warriors have gone for any tag team title in the world, they win! He says that Harlem Heat, they might put up a good fight, but ain’t nobody as good at fighting as Chicago’s own Hawk and Animal! Dusty proclaims that the Road Warriors were unanimously the team of the 1980’s, and with this championship win, they begin to cement their legacy as the team of the 1990’s as well!</p><p> </p><p> They get ready to leave, but wait – that may be a very recognizable guitar riff, but it isn’t “Iron Man”….</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><iframe width="300" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/eWXRintPmGQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p> </p><p> <em>“Oh my god…”</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> “OhhhhhhhhhOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/ScottSteiner.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RickSteiner.jpg</span></p><p> <strong><em>OUT OF THE BACK COME THE STEINER BROTHERS!!!</em></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Rick and Scott are back in WCW!

Rick barks, adding that he and his brother just finished up in Japan, and they’ve been ACHING to get back to where the big boys play! Dusty almost blows a gasket in the ring, before saying that if Rick and Scott want to ruin this moment, they better have their wills drawn up by SuperBrawl, because their next of kin will need to be notified that they dared to get in the ring with Hawk and Animal! “Welcome to the Jungle” plays us out as the returning brothers play to the crowd, Dusty and the Warriors seething in the ring!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B</em></p><p><em> The new gimmicks for the Steiners are Machine for Rick, which rated as 98, and Scott as Old School Face at 92.

He then tags out to Duggan, who brings some 80’s brawling to the table, blasting the young Armstrong with hard right hands while giving a big thumbs up to the fans. Brad wants to tag in, but for a change from his past actions, Steve Austin instead volunteers to tag in to face off with his enemy of the last few months. He does take time to yell at a fan with a long sign reading “Austin........if you take this the wrong way, then I hope your parents die.......ok well maybe not but............You have no testicals or balls.......I warned you!”, Austin saying that he’ll be showing the kid’s girlfriend who has no balls after the show! Stunning Steve and Duggan lock up, with Duggan fighting ahead in the early goings and Austin playing keep-up. A blind charge trades the momentum though, and “Hacksaw” starts getting attacked from all sides as the Stud Stable simply trade off on him, tagging in and out at will and doing all they can to wear him out and keep him from making the tag. In something noted by Jesse, Austin never seems to be doing anything that Tony would call “underhanded” in the match, whereas the Armstrongs have no qualms with taking help from the outside by Parker.</p><p> </p><p> Duggan finally gets his chance to tag and he hot tags Patriot in, who is a house of fire taking on both Brad and BG, before ducking to the mat as both men get hit with a Bagwell crossbody from the top! It quickly becomes a massive donnybrook, all six men getting into the ring as referee Mickey Jay has lost all control! Bagwell clotheslines BG out of the ring, falling along with him to make it two on two in the ring. Patriot and Austin tangle, as Duggan has Brad in the corner. Austin knees Patriot in the stomach and shoves him down just as Jim tackles Brad to the outside, making it between the two legal men now. Austin picks Patriot up and is about to blast him with the Stungun, but chance is on his side as he tags Duggan back in! Austin hits the move, but when he goes for the cover, Duggan is already setting up in his three point stance! Parker yells to Austin to watch out, and when he turns around he barely dodges out of the way, Brad taking the hit instead! “Hacksaw” climbs to his feet and comes around right into Austin’s diamond cutter! Stunning Steve turns around and throws himself over Duggan, and Mickey Jay counts the fateful three as BG holds Bagwell back. Colonel Parker cheers jubilantly from the outside, as the crowd boos loudly, having lost one of their heroes at the hands of Stunning Steve Austin.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners at 16:24 : The Stud Stable</em></p><p><em> Rating: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Backstage we see Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, in their street clothes, talking strategy on their walk to the ring.

Arn and Dusty are locked up on one side of the ring as Flair chops Hogan on the other side, and just like in the previous Chicago Street Fight, the poor referee – Nick Patrick in this case – has his work cut out for him in keeping an eye out on everyone. Each of the men were allowed to bring one weapon with them to the ring for this, but not everyone has them visible apparently because while Hogan’s lead pipe and Anderson’s tire iron are right on display, Flair and Dusty both appear weaponless. Flair is making up for it with his brutal chops though, lighting Hollywood’s chest up. Anderson comes over to help, and they whip Hogan to the ropes to hit a double knife-edge chop on him! A sign goes up in the crowd that says “Brawling with the Horsemen!” and that’s exactly what it has been so far.</p><p> </p><p> The Kings gain the upper hand by utilizing a low blow on Anderson, Dusty delivering a cowboy boot field goal kick between his legs as Hogan punches Flair with his taped fist. One thing that can be said for this match, for all the punching and kicking going on in this brawl, these four know when and how to make it work, and what helps is the molten crowd, who are so hot that the building may melt soon! Hollywood and Rhodes do a lot of working over Flair while keeping Anderson thrown out of the ring, keeping him from interfering in their business of breaking down “The Nature Boy”. Dusty finally goes out and gets his weapon from under the ring, which he must have placed earlier tonight – a bullrope! He brings it in and bashes Flair in the head with the cowbell on it, cutting him open! They bring “The Enforcer” in now, and they hang him over the top rope with the rope! Dusty pulls on it, choking Arn out with it! Hogan pushes Flair into the turnbuckle and jaws at him, telling him that he’ll never be as big as Hollywood! Hogan mockingly chops Flair – but Flair starts to mock Hogan back, Hulking Up on HIM! Only instead of walking across the ring, Flair struts, and instead of the three punches, he pokes him in the eye! Flair then turns to Rhodes, before unleashing his hidden weapon: a handful of powder, right in his eyes! Ric then picks up Double A’s tire iron, and he smashes it across Dusty’s head, causing him to bleed also! Flair chops Hollywood more, before taking his leg out with the tire iron! Flair walks around strutting more, and lets out a “Woooo!” while pointing to a crowd member in the front row who’s sign is “A Flair for the Gold baby, WOO!”</p><p> </p><p> “The Nature Boy” goes for the kill now, assaulting Hogan’s knees. He lifts Hollywood to his feet and sends him hobbling to the ropes, and when Flair ducks, Anderson lifts him into a spinebuster! Double A goes over and shoves Dusty out of the ring, as Flair locks in the figure four! Hogan is screaming in pain and agony! But Anderson gets taken out on the outside by Bubba Rogers! And into the ring comes The Butcher, who drops an elbow on Flair to break up the figure four – there’s nothing Nick Patrick can do about it! Meng is out now, and he holds Arn for Rogers to punish him with punches. Flair starts fighting with Butcher, but The Queen slips the World title into Hogan! While Flair is trying to push Butcher out of the ring, Hollywood nails him from behind with the belt! Flair crumples to the mat, and to add insult to injury, Hogan drops a big leg on him to get the win! The Kings of Wrestling stole this one!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners in 16:23 : Hollywood Hogan and Dusty Rhodes</em></p><p><em> Rating: B+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Flair and Anderson are both down, and they roll Arn back into the ring.

It has all come down to who can draw first blood!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RoddyPiper.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/JimmyHart2.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/vs.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/Sting2.jpg</span><p> <strong>First Blood Match</strong></p><p><strong> “Hot Rod” Roddy Piper w/Jimmy Hart vs. Sting</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:8px;">Referee: Mark Curtis</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Dusty Rhodes didn’t really leave, as he instead went to join commentary again. He seems very out of breath, but he holds his own while praising the Kings at every turn. Sting and Piper forego the standard opening and just start throwing fists at one another, which Piper gets the better of due to his boxing background. Roddy goes wild on Sting, biting his forehead to try and make him bleed early, but no luck as Sting fights his way out. A sign in the crowd says “Hot Rod will BLEED!” making an ominous prediction that Dusty says will never happen. Sting and Piper find their way out of the ring, and Sting nearly takes Roddy’s head off with a chair, but Piper ducks and the chair clangs off the turnbuckle! Piper pokes Sting in the eye and starts whipping him with his belt, causing red welts along his back! Jimmy Hart yells encouragement over his megaphone, annoying the fans in the front row.</p><p> </p><p> Sting comes back, grabbing the belt and having a tug of war with it, and the stronger Stinger is able to pull “Hot Rod” into the turnbuckles. From there Sting starts striking with chops and punches, working the crowd into a frenzy as he grabs the belt now! Sting whips Piper with it, sending him around the ring in a panic as he gets a taste of his own medicine! Sting fires Piper into the corner, and he leaps up to hit a Stinger Splash! He sends him into the other side, but this time Jimmy Hart jumps in the way! Hart takes the full force of the Splash, and Piper comes out swinging! He ducks a clothesline from Sting and locks on the sleeper! Dusty cheers, saying that once he puts Sting out, then he can take as long as he wants to make him bleed! The crowd boos heavily, as Sting slowly drops to the mat! Piper jumps up and laughs, kicking Sting’s head around! He goes to the apron and prepares to get a weapon – but behind his back, Sting gets up and tells the crowd to keep quiet! Dusty yells to try and get Piper’s attention, but he can’t hear – Sting is playing possum! When Roddy climbs back into the ring, he has a lead pipe! He stands over Sting, and prepares to use it in what would surely finish this match. But Sting kicks Piper low! Piper drops the bell, holding himself, as Dusty cries foul! Tony says that’s what the KoW have done to Sting, he would never have done that a few months ago! Sting gets up and pounds his chest, screaming to his “Little Stingers”! Piper starts begging off, but Sting will have none of it, firing him to the ropes and hitting him with a kick in the midsection, before going to the ropes himself and driving Roddy down with a facebuster, right onto the pipe! Jimmy Hart cries in horror, and as Piper rolls over, Mark Curtis calls for the bell that isn’t there – Roddy is bleeding profusely! Sting has won this battle! The show goes off the air with Roddy being helped to the back by Hart and Rhodes, and they are all yelling at the ring that this isn’t over!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner in 16:45 : Sting</em></p><p><em> Rating: B+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWlogo.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Prediction Contest Results</span></p><p> angeldelayette: 4/9</p><p> TheBigBad1013: 6/9</p><p> Chuck: 3/9</p><p> The Final Countdown: 5/9</p><p> pakonruff: 7/9</p><p> Ritchardo: 5/9</p><p> Russelrules44: 5/9</p><p> Smasher1311: 5/9</p><p> TeflonBilly: 4/9</p><p> </p><p> Just barely, pakonruff edges out everyone!
