WCW 1991: One More Try

[angeldelayette]

[B][CENTER]Following a failed and miserable attempt by Ole Anderson to copy the WWF's style, Ted Turner stepped in and knew he needed a change. The Black Scorpion fiasco was a complete disaster, culminating in a last minute decision to place Ric Flair under the mask that has drawn very poor reviews from WCW fans. An open interview process was held by Ted Turner to determine who should run WCW. Enter Jack Avatar. Jack is a young wrestler who was mostly on the independent scene, booking here and there when needed. He impressed Ted Turner with his wrestling knowledge and Turner appointed him as the man to run WCW. Turner will also be watching things very closely, giving Mr. Avatar certain goals he must accomplish. Enter a new era of World Championship Wrestling[/CENTER][/B] [CENTER]===[/CENTER] [B][CENTER][SIZE=4]ROSTER![/SIZE] Main Eventers --- [COLOR=BLUE]Lex Luger=WCW United States Heavyweight Champion Rick Steiner Scott Steiner Sting=NWA World Heavyweight Champion[/COLOR] [COLOR=RED]Arn Anderson Barry Windham Big Van Vader (Managed by Harley Race) Nikita Koloff Ric Flair Rick Rude (Managed by Paul E.

Ric Flair is definitely in the building tonight!"[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=RED][U][B]Tony Schiavone:[/U] "Indeed he is, Jim. It will be interesting to find out what he has to say after losing to the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Sting at Starrcade, less than a week ago."[/B][/COLOR] [B]Their words are interrupted by the music of none other than the NWA World Heavyweight Champion![/B] [COLOR=BLUE][U][B]Jim Ross:[/U] "It doesn't look like we're going to have to wait for long to hear from the Champ, Tony. Sting is up in the ring![/B][/COLOR] [B]The Champ paces around for a moment, releasing an 'OWWWW!' for the fans to echo back as he holds a microphone in hand.[/B] [COLOR=NAVY][U][B]Sting:[/U] "Starrcade is over and look at who still has the NWA World Heavyweight Title around his waist. That's right, it's the Stinger! Ric Flair, you thought you could pull some mind games on me and twist things around but I'm just a little bit more twisted than you thought. As soon as we locked up, I knew exactly who you were. We have put on some classics in the past and I know you hold for hold better than anybody..."[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=GREEN][B][U]Ric Flair:[/U] "Wait just a minute!"[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=RED][U][B]Tony Schiavone:[/U] "Ric Flair has just come out and he's joining Sting inside the ring![/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=GREEN][B][U]Ric Flair:[/U] "You may have left Starrcade as the Champ there, Stinger, but do you really think you matched hold for hold with the Nature Boy?

Well, you're on!"[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=BLUE][B][U]Jim Ross:[/U] "Sting just accepted the guantlet laid down by Ric Flair! What a new main event we have planned for you tonight!

Luger and the NightStalker had an average power match, very good for what was being looked for here as the crowd responded to every move that Luger did. They cheered on Luger when he was being beaten down by his opponent and when Luger rallied back, the fans popped! Luger was making the signal for the Human Torture Rack when someone ran down to the ring and slid inside, attacking Luger with a chain and causing the DQ! Winner: Lex Luger Match Time: 5:41 Match Rating: C Nikita Koloff made his return here tonight, attacking Lex Luger from behind and choking him with that Russian Chain! Koloff pulled Luger up and leveled him with a Russian Sickle! The crowd booed Koloff as he left the ring victorious. ------ The cameras head backstage where Bob Caudle is standing by. [U][COLOR=RED]Bob Caudle[/U] Hello wrestling fans! Bob Caudle here alongside the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Sting! Sting, tonight is another chapter in your storied feud with the Nature Boy Ric Flair as you have agreed to put your title on the line against him. Are you ready for such a match less than a week after Starrcade?[/COLOR] [U][COLOR=NAVY]Sting[/U] Am I ready? Am I ready, Bob? OWWWWW! You better believe that the Stinger is ready! And all my legions of little Stingers are ready as well. Ric Flair, you're messing with the wrong man and tonight you're going to find out why. OWWWWW![/COLOR] ------ [SIZE=4]Handicap Match: The State Patrol vs. El Gigante[/SIZE] The fans genuinely enjoy the 7'7" El Gigante and he slapped fans' hands as he came down to the ring and stepped over the top rope. The State Patrol tried to attack El Gigante quickly and whipped him into the ropes, only to be double clotheslined down. Gigante took his time with both men inside the ring, dominating the bout until he hit his Choke hold on Lt. James Earl Wright and got a submision victory. Winner: El Gigante Match Time: 5:53 Match Rating: E- Following the match, El Gigante was making his round at the security railing when Big Van Vader stepped out of the crowd, attacking El Gigante! Vader picked up a chair and smashed it over the 7'7" wrestler, dropping him to his knees! Vader used those clubbing forearm blows to bring Gigante down and then beat his own chest, crying out.."Who's the man???" ------ [SIZE=4]Terry Taylor vs. Michael Wallstreet[/SIZE] This is a rematch from Starrcade that saw Michael Wallstreet pick up the victory. A very evenly fought technical contest that had Wallstreet talking to Alexandra York several times during the match to see what his next move should be. Taylor started getting the advantage but was hit in the back with the laptop that Alexandra York brought to the ring while Wallstreet distracted the official. Wallstreet nailed the Write-Off and picked up the cheap victory. Winner: Michael Wallstreet Match Time: 6:29 Match Rating: D+ ------ [SIZE=4]WCW World Tag Team Titles Match, 10 Minute Time Limit: Doom defends against the Steiner Brothers[/SIZE] Both sides coming off some hard-fought matches at Starrcade but the Steiner Brothers are looking for a major win here to give them the belts while Doom is looking to hold onto them yet again. The Steiner Brothers started red-hot with Rick Steiner showing his power in hitting Butch Reed with a German Suplex and taking down Ron Simmons with a Steinerline! Both members of Doom rolled out to talk with their manager and The Dog-Faced Gremlin went running around the ring, barking and getting the crowd to respond before moved on his hands and knees in his own corner with Scott standing over him. Rick remained in the ring while Butch Reed tagged out to Ron Simmons. The former FSU star used a rake of the eyes to gain the advantage on Rick Steiner and Doom went to work on the back of the Dog-Faced Gremlin, using quick tags in and out. During this part of the bout, they kept Rick Steiner isolated and baited Scott into the ring a couple of times so they could double team and choke his brother. Ron Simmons whipped Rick Steiner into the ropes and ducked his head a little too early! He caught a kneelift from Rick and then a Steinerline as both men fell to the mat. Referee Randy Anderson began the count on both men as they crawled toward their corners. Simmons made the tag...and so did Rick! Scott came in with punches on Butch Reed and then whipped him into the ropes: Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker! Scott made the cover but Ron Simmons came in to break up the pin. Rick came into the ring and we had a donnybrook! The time limit was being announced as only 10 seconds! Scott heard this and quickly signalled for the Frankensteiner! He whipped Butch Reed into the ropes...NAILED IT! Scott made the cover: 1...2...DING DING DING!!! Referee Randy Anderson stopped the count, signalling for the time limit draw! Winner: Time Limit Draw Match Time: 10:00 Match Rating: C+ ------ A graphic became the focus of the two announcers, highlighting the main event tonight as Sting will defend the NWA World Heavyweight Title against Ric Flair! ------ [SIZE=4]Brian Pillman vs. Jushin Thunder Liger[/SIZE] Flying Brian Pillman came out to a rousing ovation from the crowd and stood in the ring awaiting the arrival of Japanese sensation Jushin Thunder Liger. The crowd wasn't exactly sure what to make of this foreign wrestler when he first came out. Referee Randy Anderson was assigned to this fast-paced contest that saw hold and counterhold coming into play. Liger got several near-falls on numerous occassions but just couldn't quite keep up with Flying Brian. Pillman got the pinfall victory following a Missle Dropkick! Winner: Brian Pillman Match Time: 5:33 Match Rating: D+ ------ The attention turned backstage with Missy Hyatt. [U][COLOR=RED]Missy Hyatt[/U] Hello everyone. Missy Hyatt here alongside the man who will challenge for the NWA World Heavyweight Title later on tonight: Ric Flair. Ric, you didn't beat Sting at Starrcade. What makes you so confident about tonight?[/COLOR] [U][COLOR=GREEN]Ric Flair[/U] Why am I so confident, Missy? Because tonight is the night for the Horsemen. Whooooo. It's the night where we will come out to shine and where Sting will learn that you don't jump on a Horseman. At Starrcade, I couldn't wrestle my style. I had to wrestle as the Black Scorpion and not Ric Flair. But tonight, Whoooo there's gonna be a celebration in Blacksburg of a new World Heavyweight Champion! Missy, you're free to ride with the Horsemen anytime you like. You know you want to try some of Space Mountain. And if any of you ladies out there would like to ride Space Mountain remember you have to be 18 years of age or older. Whooooo![/COLOR] ------ [SIZE=4]The Patriots vs. Arn Anderson and Barry Windham[/SIZE] And speaking of the Horsemen, two of them are out here in our next bout as Arn Anderson and Barry Windham take on the WCW Patriots. Anderson and Windham dominated the bout, obviously displeased about what happened at Starrcade with the double pin. Anderson looked good out there in particular and he picked up the win over Todd Champion following a Spinebuster slam! Winners: Arn Anderson and Barry Windham Match Time: 7:14 Match Rating: D ------- Another graphic slid up on the screen, announcing that next week will be another United States Title defense as Lex Luger defends the belt against the World's Strongest Man Bill Kazmaier! ------ [SIZE=4]Rick Rude vs. Bobby Eaton[/SIZE] Rick Rude and Paul E. Dangerously made their way down to the ring and stood inside with Dangerously handing Rude a microphone. [U][COLOR=RED]Rick Rude[/U] Cut my music! What I would like to have right now is for all you fat, out-of-shape, no-good, Blacksburg Virginia REDNECKS to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and show you what a real sexy man is supposed to look like. Hit my music![/COLOR] The music returns as Paul takes the microphone and Rude strips from the robe, doing his hip swivel to boos from the crowd. The crowd cheers as Beautiful Bobby Eaton comes out to break up this lovefest and the match starts out quickly as Paul ducks out of the ring. Paul could be heard screaming instructions outside the ring as Rude fought back against the quick start of Bobby Eaton. Rude slowly dissected his opponent and eventually set up Eaton for the Rude Awakening neckbreaker! Once he hit that, he got the quick pinfall and then rose up, wiping sweat from his brow and down on Eaton, swiveling his hips again to boos from the crowd. Winner: Rick Rude Match Time: 7:23 Match Rating: B+ ------ A split-screen is shown, one in Sting's locker room and the other in Ric Flair's as they prepare for this epic encounter. They both turn and begin walking toward the entrance as it is just about time for the main event! ------ [SIZE=4]NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Sting defends against Ric Flair[/SIZE] The crowd booed as the leader of the Four Horsemen came out first, moving into his corner and waiting for the arrival of the NWA World Heavyweight Champion! The crowd moved on their feet as Sting's music began to play and Sting came out from the back, high-fiving the little Stingers before he moved into the ring, releasing an 'OWWWWW!' and locking eyes with his opponent! Sting took off his ring jacket and then the title belt, handing it to senior official Nick Patrick. Nick held the belt up for everyone to see and then sent it outside the ring. He checked both wrestlers for foreign objects and then called for the bell. This great match started off slow as both wrestlers began the feeling out process between two men who have faced off many times in the past. Flair drew Sting back to a corner early and laid into him with a chop but it didn't have any effect on the Stinger! Another chop and Sting just shakes his head. Sting ****s a fist back and Flair begs off a moment, turning and moving for the ropes but Sting catches him! Sting whips Flair into the ropes and Flair comes back into a military press slam! Sting press Flair three times before dropping him to the mat and Flair grabs his back, crying out in pain and moving to a corner. Sting walks over and catches a thumb to the eye for his trouble! Flair immediately goes to the knee with a shoulder tackle to the back of the knee! Sting goes down as Flair gets back up and Flair drops an elbow onto Sting's knee, stretching it out as he puts his full body weight on top of it. Sting shakes his head when asked if he gives up to this submission move. No, it's far too early for that! Flair gives up after about thirty seconds and gets to his feet, dragging Sting's leg over to the ropes and landing down on top of it! Flair looks to the crowd and gives a little strut to a massive amount of boos! Flair comes back over to Sting and pulls him to his feet. He whips him in - no, reversed! Flair comes back and Sting sends him up and over with a back body drop! Flair pops back up and is taken down by a Sting clothesline! Another clothesline sends Flair up and over the top rope and down to the floor! Sting pounds his chest and releases an 'OWWWWW!' that is echoed by the crowd! Flair paces outside a moment and Sting steps forward, breaking the count but getting his legs grabbed by Flair! Flair pulls Sting out under the bottom rope and hits a forearm shot! He grabs Sting by the head and runs toward the ring post - BLOCKED! Sting extended his hand and stopped the momentum! Sting grabs Flair and rams HIS head into the ring post! Flair staggers around, puts up a couple of fists and then falls flat on his face outside the ring! Sting grabs Flair and rolls him back inside and then follows him back in and for the next few moments Sting is in control! A couple of near-falls later and Flair has re-taken the advantage, focusing back in on Sting's knee. Flair spends the next several minutes focused on that injured knee of the Stinger, even banging it against the ringpost! Flair comes back in and signals for the Figure 4 Leglock! Flair moves to lock it in and Sting reverses: Small Package...1....2...kickout! Sting nearly got the quick pinfall! Flair is back up and chops Sting in the corner. Several chops wear down the Champ and Flair tries to whip him across the ring but Sting reverses! Flair goes up and over the turnbuckles, running right into a Sting clothesline that drops him on the apron but Flair rolls back inside the ring as Sid Vicious walks out from the back. Sting sees him but keeps his attention on Flair! Sting whips Flair into the corner and then steps back and runs forward...Stinger Splash!!! Flair flops to the ground and Sting grabs his legs quickly...SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Flair tries to hold on as Sid Vicious enters the ring behind Sting! Sid pushes the referee down and hits a Big Boot on Sting, sending Sting all the way outside the ring and causing the DQ! Winner: Sting Match Time: 14:55 Match Rating: B- Sid checks on Flair for a moment and helps the Nature Boy to his feet. Flair's eyes are wide and he begins yelling at Sid and pushing him! What in the world is going on here??? Sid stands there, looking down at Flair and we're out of time! === [SIZE=5]WCW POWER HOUR QUICK RESULTS[/SIZE] Highlights of the recent event between Ric Flair and Sid Vicious are played in a video package Tom Zenk defeated Angel Of Death in 4:59 by pinfall with a Flying Drop Kick.

[B][CENTER][SIZE=4]WCW 1991: One More Try[/SIZE] -The feedback from the people who attended the WCW Saturday Night/Power Hour showing was excellent. Jack Avatar was told that he really struck gold with that show. -The competition offered a main event of The Ultimate Warrior teaming with the Texas Tornado to defeat the Legion of Doom. Also notable was Jake Roberts defeat of Sgt. Slaughter. -For those interested, Terry Funk is injured right now but working through a chest injury. He has come into Jack Avatar's office, stating that he has been having chest pains but the old son of a gun still wants to work. -WCW is looking to add several fresh faces and release some of the old ones. The only release known about at press time is former WCW Executive Vice President Jim Herd. As far as signings, fans will just have to watch the show and see. -Two wrestlers are on the injured list right now for WCW aside from Terry Funk. Robert Gibson is out for a little over 5 months at least with knee damage. Star Blazer is out for about a month and a half due to a neck strain. -WCW has instituted a drug policy for all of it's wrestlers. Hopefully, this will crack down on the amount of drugs used and keep everyone in the locker room safe and healthy. -It has been rumoured that Ted Turner is pushing for Sting to continue with his major push. It will be interesting to see how Jack Avatar responds to that while keeping the locker room chemistry healthy. Sting is, of course, the top good guy in WCW. -There are rumours of a possible split between the Horsemen but no one within the Horsemen are talking about it aside from Ric Flair coming out on the Power Hour and giving a personal endorsement of Sid Vicious. The question is, though, how long will that last? Or is this just another ploy by the Horsemen? -The Steiner Brothers are lobbying for a rematch with Doom at the Clash of the Champions but Teddy Long is putting them off, saying they had their chance on WCW Saturday Night and couldn't get the job done. -Rumours abound of a tournament coming soon to crown a new WCW Light Heavyweight Champion. Hopefully this will come soon as those Light Heavyweights can really fly. -Nature Boy Buddy Landell is working through a swollen calf muscle. -A famous WCW wrestler has signed with the World Wrestling Federation. Who is it? Call the WCW Hotline to find out! -In addition to the working agreement with New Japan Pro Wrestling in Japan, WCW has signed working agreements with Border City Wrestling in Canada, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre in Mexico and World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico. -Hey yo! Rick Rude may be followed by another wrestler who, speaking under the condition of anonymity, says he has a history with Rude and he's ready to come after him! -WCW Saturday Night only drew a 2.39 rating on TBS, making the suits there very unhappy. -WCW Power Hour didn't draw a good rating on either station: a .28 on TBS and a .00 on TSN. WCW's television shows are looking to be in trouble. -WCW Saturday Night should be a good one with a major U.S. Title defense as Lex Luger defends against Bill Kazmaier and more![/B][/CENTER]

[U][COLOR=GREEN]Ric Flair[/U] Whoooooo![/COLOR] ------ [SIZE=4]Ron Simmons vs. Scott Steiner[/SIZE] One half of Doom and one half of the Steiner Brothers meet here in this opening contest. An average contest with both men getting some offense in and the crowd solidly in the corner of Scott Steiner. Late in the match, Teddy Long tried to hit Scott with a chair but he caught Ron Simmons instead! Scott quickly whipped Simmons into the ropes...FRANKENSTEINER!!! Scott made a quick cover and got the 1...2...3! Winner: Scott Steiner Match Time: 6:52 Match Rating: C ------ 'He's Simply Ravishing, OW!' The crowd rises in boos at the entrance of ravishing Rick Rude and Paul E. Dangerously. Rude looks as confident as ever as he heads inside the ring and is handed a microphone by Paul E. [U][COLOR=RED]Rick Rude[/U] First of all, what I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape rednecks to keep the noise down while I talk. Now, I read the latest edition of WCW Magazine and it seemed to talk about some guy from my past coming to WCW. Some guy from Minnesota. Well, I would like to take this opportunity to invite that man down to the ring to meet me face-to-face.[/COLOR] Rick holds the microphone down by his side and looks toward the entrance ramp, waiting.

A brawl breaks out between the two! Officials come running from the back to break things up!

The Japaenese group seemed more a cohesive unit in this matchup and that helped them with double and even triple teams throughout the encounter. Brian Pillman got in some good shots and looked really good out there but he eventually was pinned with a Liger Brainbuster, giving Liger a win against Pillman and Pillman a win against Liger. Also during this match, an announcement was made that the Light Heavyweight Title will be returning to WCW!

But Sting, do you feel you will be a particular target in the match given the stakes?[/COLOR] [U][COLOR=DARKRED]Sting[/U] Gordon, it doesn't matter who the Horsemen decide to focus on. Everyone can see that they've got problems and issues. And that plays right into the Stinger's and the Dog-Faced Gremlin's hands. Tonight is not going to be a walk in the park by any means but Rick and myself, we are together in this and together no one can beat us. Right, Rick?[/COLOR] [U][COLOR=NAVY]Rick Steiner[/U] WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! Tonight, Ric Flair, Sid Vicious, the Dog-Faced Gremlin is going to take a bite out of both of you! They say that every dog has his day, right? Well, tonight is my night, teaming here with the Stinger! Flair, Vicious, get ready to lose![/COLOR] ------ The camera cuts to a split-screen where Lex Luger is shown walking down a corridor and Bill Kazmaier is shown walking down another corridor. The United States Heavyweight Title match is next! ------ [SIZE=4]United States Heavyweight Title Match: Lex Luger defends against Bill Kazmaier[/SIZE] The power and strength of both men were put over during their entrances with the focus being on Kazmaier's Toughman Challenge wins. Kazmaier showed some power early in the bout but Luger slowly wore the big man down. The Total Package showed why he is the United States Heavyweight Champion by getting the pinfall victory following a Running Forearm! Winner: Lex Luger Match Time: 9:02 Match Rating: C- Following the match, Nikita Koloff slid into the ring out of nowhere and brained Luger with a Chained Russian Sickle like he did last week! This time he wrapped the chain around Luger's throat and hung him with it over the top rope! Officials came running down as Luger started to turn blue from lack of oxygen and finally got Koloff off of him! ------ [SIZE=4]Norman the Lunatic vs. Nikita Koloff[/SIZE] Norman the Lunatic came down to the ring for his scheduled match and was immediately attacked by Koloff and this became a match between Koloff and Norman the Lunatic! The large heavyweight was no match for a powered up Koloff and the Russian Nightmare got a pinfall following a Russian Sickle! Winner: Nikita Koloff Match Time: 7:26 Match Rating: C- ------ A graphic showed on the screen for the Ric Flair/Sid Vicious vs. Sting/Rick Steiner match, intercutting into a promo by Ric Flair. [U][COLOR=GREEN]Ric Flair[/U] I want everyone to listen up and listen good. Not just the people here in Charlottesville but the WCW fans all over the world. Sting, Rick Steiner you better take a long look in the mirror before you walk that aisle tonight against the Horsemen. It doesn't matter if it's Ric Flair and Sid Vicious or Arn Anderson or Barry Windham or Ole Anderson, when you see the Horsemen on the marquee you know you are getting the best this sport has to offer. Whooooo. Tonight, I earn my title shot at the Clash of the Champions against you Stinger. I've seen you walk that aisle time and time again and, brother, your credentials are a mile long but tonight and at the Clash you will be taking on a limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling and dealing son of a gun! Whooooo! Sid and myself? We're going to get it done Horsemen style. Whoooo![/COLOR] ------ [SIZE=4]P.N. News vs. Diamond Dallas Page[/SIZE] The Rapmaster came out with a special rap about Diamond Dallas Page but it was interrupted by an attack from behind by the former manager! Page took it to News early but got slowed down by the crowd and by P.N. News himself. News went up top to finish things off but Page rolled out of the way! Page got back up and set up - DIAMOND CUTTER!! News went down and out and DDP picked up the win! Winner: Diamond Dallas Page Match Time: 6:42 Match Rating: E ------ The camera goes backstage with Missy Hyatt. [U][COLOR=RED]Missy Hyatt[/U] Arn Anderson, Barry Windham: you gentlemen requested this interview time tonight after hearing something said by Teddy Long. Care to tell us what's going on?[/COLOR] [U][COLOR=BLUE]Arn Anderson[/U] It goes like this, Missy. We heard Teddy Long say that Doom has no competition for those WCW World Tag Team Titles. We heard him say that he's looking for a couple of challengers at the Clash of the Champions. Now, we didn't get to finish our business with Doom at Starrcade due to the double pin. So why don't we finish it at the Clash?[/COLOR] [U][COLOR=NAVY]Barry Windham[/U] The business will get done one way or another, gentlemen, so it might as well be inside the ring. Ron Simmons, Butch Reed, we'll see you at the Clash. And we'll take care of things Horsemen style.[/COLOR] ------ [SIZE=4]Steve Williams vs. El Gigante[/SIZE] The 7'7" El Gigante came out to the ring for this encounter with Dr. Death Steve Williams slapping fans' hands. Williams was all business in the ring doing his best to dissect his much taller opponent and doing a pretty good job of it. But Gigante used his size to his advantage and was able to lock in that Choke and get the submission victory. El Gigante is headed to the Clash to take on Big Van Vader! Winner: El Gigante Match Time: 6:41 Match Rating: D ------ Ric Flair and Sid Vicious are shown walking side by side toward the ring because our main event is next! [SIZE=4]If Flair or Vicious pin Sting, they win a title shot at Clash of the Champions: Ric Flair and Sid Vicious vs. Sting and Rick Steiner[/SIZE] A definite quality main event here on WCW Saturday Night! Sting and Rick Steiner took an early advantage, sending Flair and Vicious out of the ring to regroup. When the Horsemen regrouped, they began their focus on Rick Steiner. Steiner's leg was the focus of the group as Flair and Vicious tagged in and out, dominating Rick Steiner. Sting was continually reaching for a tag but all he could get was air as Rick Steiner was kept in the Horsemen corner. Steiner though moved out of the way of a Ric Flair avalanche in the corner and hit a German Suplex full release all impact on Flair! Both men were down and referee Randy Anderson was making his count. Slowly they began crawling toward their corners. Flair made the tag first....but in came Sting! The NWA World Heavyweight Champion took care of business with punches and clotheslines, getting the crowd rallied behind him as he knocked Flair out of the ring and then took to the task of taking Big Sid Vicious down! He began winding up his punch and connected, knocking Vicious against the turnbuckle! Sting climbed up and began punching away! The crowd counted along to ten! Sting dropped down and hooked Vicious for a suplex but Vicious reversed it and flapjacked the NWA Champ! Sting went down hard and then Vicious pulled him in quickly...POWER BOMB!!! Sting is lying on the mat and Vicious makes a cover: 1...Ric Flair jumps on the apron demanding a tag!...2...3!!!! Sid Vicious will face Sting at the Clash! Winners: Ric Flair and Sid Vicious Match Time: 10:16 Match Rating: C+ WOW! Ric Flair is LIVID!! He's yelling at Sid that this wasn't the plan! This wasn't the Horsemen's plan for tonight! Sid just shakes his head and he PUSHES Flair down to the mat! Flair's eyes are wide, looking up at Vicious as the crowd pops and the show comes to a close with another staredown between Ric Flair and Sid Vicious. OVERALL RATING: C TV RATING: To Be Announced[/B][/CENTER]

[CENTER][B][SIZE=5]WCW Saturday Night![/SIZE] Wednesday, Week 3, January 1991 Robins Center Richmond, VA Attendance: 10,000 The show opens outside in the parking garage as a long white limousine pulls up. The driver gets out and opens the door and out steps the Nature Boy Ric Flair! Boos can be heard from inside as Ric adjusts his jacket and walks toward the building. Bob Caudle is on the scene. [U][COLOR=RED]Bob Caudle[/U] Ric, Ric can I get a few words about what happened last week?[/COLOR] Ric just brushes off the interview try and heads for the building. Wow! he must really be focused! ------ Inside the building, Woman is in the ring with Terry Taylor. [U][COLOR=RED]Woman[/U] I have searched long and hard for someone that I know I can help bring to the top. So tonight I bring to you none other than Stunning Steve Austin![/COLOR] Austin comes out to some boos from the crowd. They aren't exactly sure how to take the arrogant wrestler. He slides into the ring and flexes to more boos before turning his attention to Terry Taylor. [SIZE=4]Steve Austin vs. Terry Taylor[/SIZE] A decent debut for Austin, though he and Taylor really didn't seem to click inside the ring. But this was mostly a showcase for Austin's skills tonight. Stunning Steve got the pinfall victory over Taylor following a Starstruck. Winner: Steve Austin Match Time: 7:04 Match Rating: D- ------ Backstage, Harley Race is standing by with Big Van Vader. [U][COLOR=RED]Harley Race[/U] El Gigante, you are only a few days away from feeling the wrath of my man Big Van Vader. It doesn't matter what it takes to bring you down. Vader can do it. He can do anything he sets his mind to and that will include eventually defeating Sting or whoever the Champion may be after the Clash. But all of his focus, all of his attention is on you, El Gigante. And at the Clash of the Champions he will be putting you away for good![/COLOR] ------ [SIZE=4]Light Heavyweight Title Tournament Round 1: Ranger Ross vs. Jushin Thunder Liger[/SIZE] This is the first match of the Light Heavyweight Title Tournament, pitting a real American in Ranger Ross against Japanese sensation Jushin Thunder Liger. The crowd tried to rally behind Ranger Ross with chants of 'U.S.A.' but he was no match for Liger's speed. Liger got the pinfall on Ross with a Brainbuster to advance. Winner: Jushin Thunder Liger Match Time: 4:55 Match Rating: D ------ The crowd rises in a full chorus of boos as 'Theme To 2001: A Space Odyssey' begins to play and Ric Flair steps out from the back in a suit walking toward the ring. He slides inside and Ross is just getting out of the ring. Flair tosses in a few stomps to Ranger Ross before he picks up a microphone. [U][COLOR=RED]Ric Flair[/U] Get that piece of garbage out of my ring. But I didn't come out here to talk about Ranger Ross. He's not even in the Horsemen's league. I came out here tonight to talk to and about one man. That man is big Sid Vicious. Sid, it was against some heavy opposition that I brought you into the Horsemen. Everyone wondered if you could put your ego aside and do what is best for the group or if you would start doing things for yourself and not doing things for the Horsemen. I tried to tell them that you'd be a team player. That you'd understand that the Horsemen are about being the best. That the Horsemen are the elite group run by Ric Flair. What you have done the last few weeks is you've made a liar out of Ric Flair. You've come out and done what you want and you haven't done it for the good of the group. You've done it for yourself. Well, that's not gonna fly with the Horsemen. So, what I am going to do is I am going to give you until the end of the broadcast tonight to come to your senses. You've got until the end of the show tonight to give up your Clash of the Champions title match to me. If you don't do it. Well, I don't even wanna think about what happens there.[/COLOR] Ric shakes his head, drops his microphone and walks toward the back. What a serious promo! ------ [SIZE=4]Kevin Sullivan vs. Scott Hall[/SIZE] The buzz in the arena is about what Sid Vicious will do as Scott Hall makes his in-ring debut against the diabolical Kevin Sullivan. Hall performed very well, drawing the attention his way and inside the ring. He picked up the pinfall on Sullivan following a Fall Away Slam. Winner: Scott Hall Match Time: 6:38 Match Rating: D+ ------ A graphic slides up over the screen, showing that Doom have finally signed to face a team at the Clash of the Champions with those WCW World Tag Team Title belts on the line. Their opponents? The WCW Patriots! What a rip-off! ------ [SIZE=4]United States Heavyweight Title Defense: Lex Luger vs. Big Van Vader[/SIZE] The Total Package comes out here for this United States Title defense against Big Van Vader along with Harley Race. Luger has had it hard in these title defenses the last few weeks. This is as much of a hard-hitting contest as you would expect from these two brawlers. Harley Race gets involved behind the referee's back with a few stomps on Luger but Luger begins to make his comeback late in the match! The Total Package signals for the Human Torture Rack! Can he get the large Big Van Vader up?! Wait a second, Nikita Koloff is headed to the ring! He slides inside behind Luger and takes him down with a Russian Sickle to the back of the head! Luger just had a rough match with Big Van Vader, now another cowardly attack by Nikita Koloff causing the DQ. Winner: Lex Luger Match Time: 8:35 Match Rating: B ------ The cameras quickly cut backstage where we catch up with Scott Hall and Rick Rude punching away at each other in the backstage area! What a brawl between these two! Rude tosses Hall on a table and officials come running in! Officials are seperating these two men who will face off at the Clash of the Champions! ------ [SIZE=4]Light Heavyweight Title Tournament Round 1: Jimmy Garvin vs. Scorpio[/SIZE] Another match in the Light Heavyweight Title Tournament as Jimmy Jam Garvin of the Freebirds takes on Scorpio. Big Daddy Dink did some good work at ringside, interfering in the right moments but the speed of Scorpio kept Garvin on his heels. Scorpio surprised the world by hitting Garvin with that Scorpio Splash and getting the pinfall to advance! Winner: Scorpio Match Time: 2:35 Match Rating: D+ ------ Backstage, Gordon Solie is standing by with the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. [U][COLOR=RED]Gordon Solie[/U] Hello wrestling fans, Gordon Solie back here with the Champion Sting. Sting, I am sure you heard the comments made by Ric Flair earlier about the title match at the Clash of the Champions. Who would you rather face?[/COLOR] [U][COLOR=BLUE]Sting[/U] I'll tell you what, Gordon Solie, it doesn't matter who the Stinger faces at the Clash of the Champions. It could be Sid Vicious, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, the guy selling popcorn or anyone else that the Horsemen want to throw at me. With the backing of all my little Stingers, the outcome will still be the same. It will be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion getting his hand raised in victory. And, well, look at this: I AM the Champion! What a coincidence, huh? Coming up at the Clash, I'm gonna be ready. I'm gonna be pumped up, fired up! OWWWWWW! Sid, Flair I'll see you there.[/COLOR] ------ The focus returns to the ring where Diamond Dallas Page is standing with a microphone in hand. [U][COLOR=RED]Diamond Dallas Page[/U] Listen up, I know a lot of you don't like me and quite frankly I don't really care what you fans think. I just came out here to let everyone know that I am not going to stand for that punk Television Champion The Z-Man interfering in any of my matches. So I have gone out to some of the best casinos in Las Vegas and I have hired me a bodyguard. Let me introduce the world to my bodyguard: Vinnie Vegas![/COLOR] The crowd is stunned. The Z-Man hasn't done any interference but here comes this big nearly 7 foot man out toward the ring, stepping OVER the top rope to get inside, shaking hands with DDP! Vegas crosses his arms over his chest and stands beside DDP. [U][COLOR=RED]Diamond Dallas Page[/U] Z-Man? We'll see you at the Clash where you can feel...the...BANG![/COLOR] Page drops the microphone and he and Vegas exit the ring with the announcers marveling at the size of Vinnie Vegas! ------ [SIZE=4]Steve Williams vs. Bobby Eaton[/SIZE] Dr. Death coming out for this match after losing last week to El Gigante and he did not look happy. But does he ever? Eaton was slightly off his game this week, allowing Williams to dominate the match and really show off his skill. Dr. Death picked up a pinfall victory over Eaton following the Oklahoma Stampede. Winner: Steve Williams Match Time: 8:45 Match Rating: D ------ A split-screen is shown of Rick Rude and Terry Funk walking toward the ring for our main event tonight. Rude, of course, is joined by Paul E. Dangerously. [SIZE=4]Terry Funk vs. Rick Rude[/SIZE] Rick Rude and Paul E. Dangerously came down to the ring first where Rude was handed a microphone by Dangerously. [U][COLOR=RED]Rick Rude[/U] Cut my music! What I would like to have right now is for all you fat, out-of-shape, inbred Richmond Virginia rednecks to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and I show you what a real man is supposed to look like. Now, hit my music![/COLOR] Rude goes to strip but the music that plays is for Terry Funk! Rude looks angry as Funk comes running down to the ring and slides inside. It's a brawl to start the match as the bell sounds. Paul E. exits the ring and we have our main event! Rude starts the match with the advantage, working over the neck of Funk with stomps and a long-held front facelock. He tosses Funk out of the ring where Paul E. gets a few shots in before throwing Funk back inside. But the crowd really works to get Funk back into the match! Funk absorbs some punishment from Rude, getting to his feet! It's a brawl in the middle of the ring with Funk getting the betterment of Rude! The legend brings Rude down with a body slam and a knee drop that gets a two count! The crowd cheers Funk on until Rude comes back with a poke to the eye and a high-standing vertical suplex! Rude grabs Funk, setting him up...RUDE AWAKENING!!! The Ravishing One swivels his hips over Funk before making a cover: 1...2...3! Rick Rude picks up the win headed toward the Clash! Winner: Rick Rude Match Time: 11:41 Match Rating: B- The competitors inside the ring exit as the focus turns on the announcers, getting ready to bid everyone goodbye but then the music begins to play for none other than Sid Vicious! The focus turns toward the ring as Sid makes his way out and the announcers talk about how maybe he is answering Ric Flair's words right now! Sid enters the ring and is handed a microphone. [U][COLOR=RED]Sid Vicious[/U] Ric Flair, I've come out here for one reason and one reason only. I came out here to give you the response that you wanted. You wanted me to give you my shot at Sting and the WCW World Heavyweight Title? Well, you had your shot and you blew it and I had to save you from giving up. The Clash of the Champions is MY spot. And I WILL beat Sting and I WILL become the NWA World Heavyweight Champion! And I will do it with or without the backing of the Four Horsemen. Because I am Sid Vicious, the Master and Ruler of the world! Ric, I'll see you and Sting at the Clash.[/COLOR] And the show fades to black! OVERALL RATING: C+ TV RATING: To Be Announced[/B][/CENTER]

Both of these teams looking to earn that shot at Doom and the WCW World Tag Team Titles. Rick Steiner served as the face-in-peril for the majority of the match with the Horsemen double-teaming him in their corner. But he reversed a whip-in by Windham and caught Windham with a German Suplex to the mat. Both men crawled toward their corners and each made the tag! Scott Steiner came in: a house on fire, dropping Arn with a Steinerline and hitting Barry with a belly-to-belly suplex! Scott was getting ready to whip Anderson in for a Frankensteiner when the bell rang and the announcer made the call that the 15 minute time limit expired for this bout! This match is a draw!

Why did he look confident? It might have to do with the 7 foot tall Vinnie Vegas he had in his corner. This was a back and forth match here with DDP taking advantage of having Vinnie Vegas in his corner by distracting the referee as Vegas nailed the Z-Man with a Snake Eyes into the ringpost! Vegas tossed the Z-Man back in the ring and DDP picked him up...DIAMOND CUTTER!!! Page makes a quick cover: 1...2...3!

Rick Rude w/Paul E. Dangerously vs. Scott Hall[/SIZE][/CENTER] [I]This was a brawl from the word 'Go' as the two men from Minnesota locked horns in the middle of the ring. Rude had a little bit of the advantage with having Paul E. Dangerously in his corner. This helped a slight amount as Dangerously's interference kept Rude with the advantage over the more popular Hall. The big moment came when Hall lifted Rude up and dropped him with the Outsider's Edge in the middle of the ring! Hall celebrated slightly but moved too close to the ropes. As the referee checked on Rude, Dangerously smacked Hall in the back of the head with the cell phone, smashing the phone to bits and pieces in the ring and sending Hall down to the mat! Referee Nick Patrick had no choice but to count both men down and out, ruling this match a draw![/I] [B]Winner: Draw Match Time: 16:50 Match Rating: B[/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][CENTER][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/ElGigante.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/Vader.jpg[/IMG] w/[IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/Harley_Race4.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=4]BATTLE OF THE MONSTERS! El Gigante vs. Big Van Vader w/Harley Race[/SIZE][/CENTER] [I]Another match that the fans are looking forward to as both of these men are two of the biggest men in World Championship Wrestling history! The match went about as expected with Vader dominating most of the bout against the friendly giant El Gigante. Vader took his instruction from manager Harley Race and peppered some good forearm shots on El Gigante! Vader set Gigante in the corner and climbed to the second rope...VADER BOMB down on El Gigante: 1...2...3![/I] [B]Winner: Big Van Vader Match Time: 7:42 Match Rating: C[/B] [I]Following the match, Harley Race brought a chair into the ring. What's going on here? Race instructed Vader to go back to the turnbuckle. He's tying El Gigante's ankle into that chair! What's going on? Vader lifts up and comes down on the chair! El Gigante yells out in pain! It looks like Big Van Vader might have snapped his ankle with that chair! Good Lord!

As one may have expected when this match was signed, it was a lopsided affair with Butch Reed and Ron Simmons simply destroying the WCW Patriots.

The Total Package Lex Luger defends against The Russian Nightmare Nikita Koloff[/SIZE][/CENTER] [I]Our semi-main event saw a definite power struggle in not just these two athletes but in America versus Russia. The crowd was visibly loud in their chants of 'U.S.A., U.S.A.' throughout the contest, knocking Koloff slightly off his game. Neither of these two men showed a great chemistry within the ring with the other. Koloff held the advantage midway through the match, focusing on the back of the Total Package and then locking in a reverse chinlock to try to wear him down. The crowd's chants got to Luger and he began making his comeback. He gave Koloff some elbows to the gut and took the Russian Nightmare down with several clotheslines right in a row! Luger flexed for the crowd as they cheered, signalling for that Human Torture Rack! Luger came over to Koloff but Koloff grabbed him by the tights and yanked him through the ropes to crack his head on the steel ringpost! When flesh meets steel, steel wins! Koloff rolled Luger up and grabbed the tights...1...2...kickout by Luger! Somehow the Total Package found it within himself to kick out! The crowd popped but Koloff gave Luger several stomps before exiting the ring and grabbing a chair! He slid the chair into the ring and it was immediately grabbed by Nick Patrick! Koloff slammed his hands down on the mat in frustration and then looked over toward his corner and the chain. As Nick Patrick moved to put the chair out of the ring, Koloff grabbed his chain and slid inside, waiting for Luger to use the ropes to get to his feet. Luger turned...CHAINED RUSSIAN SICKLE!!! Koloff tosses the chain out of the ring and makes the cover: 1...2...3! NO NO NO! We have a NEW U.S. Heavyweight Champion![/I] [B]Winner: Nikita Koloff Match Time: 16:32 Match Rating: C[/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][CENTER][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/Sting1991.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/SidVicious.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=4]NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE ON THE LINE! Sting defends against Sid Vicious[/SIZE][/CENTER] [I]And finally it's time for our main event of the evening! Two men fighting for one gold belt. It's the franchise of WCW, the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Sting against the disenfranchised former member of the 4 Horsemen: Sid Vicious! Sting tried to start the match out quickly against his much larger opponent but Sid was having none of it! He no-sold Sting's early offense and pushed the Champion to the mat! Sting got back up and jawwed at Vicious, ducking and hitting, ducking and hitting. Sting using his speed to his advantage! He bounced off the ropes and tried to hit a dropkick but Sid Vicious swatted him like he was a fly! Vicious picked up Sting and lifted him on his shoulder: body slam by the big man! Sting pops up, holding his back in pain before falling back to the mat. Sid bounces off the ropes and leaps - ELBOW DROP - MISSED! Sting rolled out of the way and gets up, stomping on Sid Vicious! Sting jumps down on him, mounting Vicious and throwing punches. Lefts and rights by the Champion! Sid grabs him by the throat to push him back but Sting continues to throw punches! Psycho Sid Vicious pushes Sting off him and gets back up and Sting throws a dropkick to the knee, slightly buckling Sid! Sting waves his arms, getting the crowd involved as WCW's franchise player hits another dropkick to the knee but Vicious doesn't go down! Sting bounces off the ropes - BIG BOOT BY VICIOUS! Ten minutes later, Vicious has been on the offensive, slowly wearing down the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Vicious' focus has been on Sting's back, probably setting him up for the Power Bomb later in the bout. Vicious drops Sting on his knee with a backbreaker, stretching him out in this submission hold but Sting won't give! Sting shakes his head no, getting some crowd support but Vicious pushes him off the knee and gets up to his feet, yelling at the crowd. Vicious pulls Sting up - BEAR HUG! This could easily be a submission here as the power of Sid Vicious is shown in this bear hug! He wrenches it in as Sting calls out in pain. Sting may have to give up here and live to fight another day! Wait a second, Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Arn and Ole Anderson have all made their way down to the ringside area! The Horsemen are clapping their hands and urging on Sid! Vicious is slightly distracted but keeps the Bear Hug on tight. The crowd urges Sting to break the hold and Sting gains his strength from all those little Stingers! He boxes Sid's ears! Again! And AGAIN! Sting is slowly breaking the hold and he falls down to one knee, trying to catch his breath. Sting gets back up and ducks a big boot! Sting strikes a shot to the one down knee of Sid and Sid falls in the corner! Sting climbs up and begins to punch away: 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10! The crowd counting along with each punch before Sting drops down - OWWWWWWW! Sting whips Sid across the ring and bounces in the corner! He runs toward Sid - STINGER SPLASH!!! Sid is staggered but doesn't go down! Sting sees this and bounces in the opposite corner again - ANOTHER STINGER SPLASH!! Sid finally falls to the mat! Sting keeps an eye on the Horsemen now as he sees them and grabs Sid's legs - SCORPION DEATHLOCK!! Sting locks it on the tree trunk like legs of Sid Vicious! Sid cries out in pain, trying to fight it! He holds on about a minute before having to submit! Sting keeps his title![/I] [B]Winner: Sting Match Time: 21:38 Match Rating: B+[/B] [I]As Sting's music begins to play, the Horsemen come into the ring. Arn knocks Sting out of the ring and the Horsemen take turns stomping on Sid Vicious! Flair with a particularly vicious kneedrop on Sid! The crowd booing the attack by the Horsemen! Sid just went through a very tough match! Arn drops an elbow and then manages to lift Sid enough to hit a Spinebuster! What a powerful move by the Horsemen Enforcer! The crowd suddenly rises in cheers! Wait a second, we've got someone coming down to the ring! He slides inside and meets the Horsemen dead on with punches and a big boot! He takes down both Andersons with a double clothesline and when the ring is cleared, he stands over Sid Vicious, checking on him. That man? Is DANGEROUS DAN SPIVEY! Vicious' former partner in the Skyscrapers! What a way to end the pay-per-view! We'll see you for WCW Saturday Night![/I][/QUOTE] [SIZE=5]ATTENDANCE: 27,647 OVERALL RATING: B PPV BUY RATE: 3.00[/SIZE][/QUOTE]

Rick hit Slazenger with a German Suplex while Scott set Shanghai Pierce on the top turnbuckle - SUPER FRANKENSTEINER!!! Pierce hit the mat hard and Scott made the cover, getting the 1-2-3. It was also announced during this match that the Steiner Brothers would be getting a WCW World Tag Team Title shot against Doom at Wrestlewar![/I] [B]Winners: The Steiner Brothers Match Time: 5:40 Match Rating: D+[/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][CENTER][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/RickRude1991.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [I]The focus turns backstage where Rick Rude is standing by with Paul E. Dangerously and Dutch Mantell.[/I] [U][B][COLOR=Silver]Dutch Mantell[/U] Hello everyone, Dutch Mantell backstage with one of the top wrestlers in WCW: Ravishing Rick Rude and his manager Paul E. Dangerously. Gentlemen, last Tuesday at Clash of the Champions you went to war against Scott Hall and neither man proved to be victorious. Your thoughts on that?[/COLOR][/B] [U][B][COLOR=LIMEGREEN]Paul E. Dangerously[/U] You call that a war, Dutch? That was just a small sample of what Ravishing Rick Rude can dish out. We saw just how much Scott Hall can take now. So Rick has an announcement he'd like to make.[/COLOR][/B] [U][B][COLOR=INDIGO]Rick Rude[/U] That's right, Paul. Scott, you and I hadn't gone one on one in a long time before last night but that was just a battle in the war. At Wrestlewar I plan on settling the score. You and me in a First Blood match. The first person to bleed loses the match and you can put your money down that it won't be Ravishing Rick Rude![/COLOR][/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][CENTER][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/SidVicious.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/DanSpivey.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/RicFlairWCW.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW/Arn_Anderson.jpg[/IMG] [SIZE=4]The Skyscrapers vs. Ric Flair and Arn Anderson[/SIZE][/CENTER] [I]The crowd cheered as Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey came out to the ring, stepping over the top rope to get inside and playing a little to the crowd before the boos started as out walked the Horsemen. The Horsemen headed right into the ring and stared down Sid and Dan from their corner. Sid and Arn started the match. Arn tried to go right at Sid Vicious but the former Horsemen just pushed Arn into the corner and Arn's no small man! The Skyscrapers dominated the early-going of the match against the Enforcer but a miss in the corner by Spivey had Anderson going right after his knee. He tagged out to Flair and the focus became Spivey and his knee. Ric went right to work on it, using a kneebar and dropping a knee against the knee of Spivey. Both Horsemen kept Spivey grounded inside the ring, using quick tags in and out. Ric went for a Figure 4 Leglock late in the bout but Spivey kicked him off with his other leg and right down to the mat! The crowd cheered as Spivey used the ropes to get up and took Flair down with a clothesline! Both men were crawling toward their corner with Vicious reaching out a long way. Spivey got the tag but so did Ric! Arn held his hands up as Sid stepped into the ring but Sid ignored it going right after the Enforcer! Psycho Sid lifted Arn into a beautiful vertical suplex, planting the Enforcer in the mat! Sid pulled Arn in for a Power Bomb position but Barry Windham came out and attacked Sid from behind, causing the DQ![/I] [B]Winners: The Skyscrapers Match Time: 8:51 Match Rating: C+[/B] [I]Following the match, the Horsemen attacked Sid and Spivey, working over Spivey's knee and Sid's back before Sting came running out from the back! Sting slid into the ring and attacked Flair and Sting and the Skyscrapers cleared the ring, standing tall as the show came to a close![/I][/QUOTE] [SIZE=5]ATTENDANCE: 5,000 OVERALL RATING: C+[/SIZE][/QUOTE][/CENTER]
