WCW '94: War of the Thrones


Recommended Posts

<p>Not that I think anyone is going to change their choice, but upon looking at my show again, Devon Storm is teaming with Paul Roma, not Kimo.</p><p> </p><p>

Guess I thought that because I only wrote "Devon/Roma" in my quick write-up, and I'm usually teaming Devon and Kimo, so I accidentally wrote that down.</p><p> </p><p>

My bad.</p>

<p>I'd kinda hoped to be able to post the show tonight, but I took a little bit longer to write than I'd thought I would previously.

YES!</p><p> </p><p> -Billy Gunn has always been a resounding "meh" to me, but he shouldn't get on my nerves too much if he never rises above midcard level (and he shouldn't, given how many stars there are in the KoW.)</p><p> </p><p> -Surprised to see Sullivan gone.

Being one of the first guys to jump ship like this, it's a pretty WCW thing to do for him to head right into major stories.

So his whole storyline in this with Cactus was like I said, just a big happy farewell so he could leave on a huge story. I almost doubt he's going to sign with anybody else, he'll probably just retire unemployed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="justtxyank" data-cite="justtxyank" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I like that Cactus Jack pic. <p> </p><p> Awesome diary.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="TeflonBilly" data-cite="TeflonBilly" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35691" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Great Starrcade!

These two liven up the crowd in a hurry, putting on a classic that should not have been missed by anyone who may have tuned in late. Eaton shows his chops as a veteran grappler, taking Savage to the mat and working him over well. Eaton makes it look as though he could get the win a few times in this one, but the “Macho Man” never stays down. Instead, his unhinged nature shines through as he viciously assaults Eaton on the outside of the ring, screaming “PILLMAN, PILLMAN!” with almost every hard punch. Savage nearly gets himself disqualified for using a closed fist more than once in this one, but he maintains himself a little bit and after a running knee to Eaton’s back to smash him in the turnbuckles, Randy goes up for the big elbow drop and gets the win in one of the best thrown-together opening matches Saturday Night has ever seen.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner: Randy Savage</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/BrianPillman2.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> To center stage comes the TV champ Brian Pillman with a microphone, and from the aisle he taunts Savage, mockingly applauding his win. He says that as much as he’s respected Bobby over the past few years, he has just shown that nice guys will always finish last. Especially in today’s world of wrestling, where you see a raving lunatic like Randy Savage running around! Pillman says that people shouldn’t worry though, because at Uncensored next Sunday, he is gonna straightjacket Savage and throw away the key! Randy doesn’t even say anything, first he points from the ring calling Brian a dead man, and then he jumps over the top rope and rushes him! WCW’s crack security team is right there on the spot though, and they break it up without any harm, much to both men’s disappointment.</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/HulkHogan2.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Backstage, we see a limousine in the parking garage.

Commentary put over highly how much that move has led to JPL’s undefeated streak in WCW. JPL has a lot of fun at his opponent’s expense in this one, at one point even giving him a wedgie. Gambler gets in a bit of token offense, but a knee smash and the Pedigree signal the end of this one.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner: JPL</em></p><p><em> Rating: D+</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/StevenRegal.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> JPL says that since we’re done with the comic relief, it’s time to move on to business, and to that end, he calls out Lord Steven Regal. Regal comes out, a bit more wary than last week, and says that at Uncensored, he’s going to show JPL that his buffoonery will not harm his Lordship whatsoever, and in fact it will prove to be JPL’s undoing as Regal shall make him hurt for trying to embarrass the nobleman. JPL says that in case Regal hasn’t been paying attention, he’s still undefeated here in WCW, and he has no intentions of letting that die just to appease someone like Regal’s fragile ego. Regal smirks, saying that he has the perfect match for him, given how they claim Uncensored must feature only stipulations. Regal says that he is going to break him in mind, body, and spirit all at once, and he’s going to do it in a simple World of Sport match, where the match is split into five–minute rounds (three minutes for title matches), two public warnings for rule breaking before a disqualification, and no follow–up moves allowed on a grounded opponent. JPL says that there’s one thing Regal has forgotten about, and it’s behind him! Regal turns to look over his shoulder, when JPL grabs his robe and puts it over his Lordship’s head, before kicking him in the stomach and hitting him with a Pedigree! Lord Regal is down and out now, but when he comes to he’s going to feel embarrassed again!</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/kow.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Hollywood Hogan is sitting backstage in the KoW locker room along with Jimmy Hart, California Kip, and The Butcher.

A basic, nothing match designed to do little but display the strange chemistry between Badd and the still undefeated Wright. Their teamwork is something to behold, and it’s the only thing making this match into something even average as both men utilize their high flying arsenals to keep their opponents off-balance for the entirety of this short matchup. Roma appears to be trying out new partners, but he doesn’t find any use in Storm, who falls to a missile dropkick from “Das Wunderkind” for the fairly simple three count.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners: Johnny B.

The camera is ready to cut to Tony, Bobby, and Jesse, when suddenly two men hop out of the crowd and attack Badd and Wright! Heenan says that “it’s starting to get uncensored out here!” as Tony screams for help from the back! The two fan favorites get beaten down to the ground, Wright especially getting smashed into the guardrail and smashed with a martial arts style kick to the face!

It takes a few seconds, and the two emerge, heading down to the ring. Hogan says that their demand has been met about getting him in the ring in Chicago at Uncensored, and now they need to meet his demands about the type of match. Hollywood says that he’s done a lot of thinking about it, and he was given the best idea by the second Trinity member, who also will be his partner for the tag team match! </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/DustyRhodes2.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Out comes Dusty Rhodes!

Stevie says that if they must put their titles up, then they’ll get in the ring, and they’ll do it right in the Warriors’s backyard at Uncensored at the Rosemont Horizon! And not only that, to sweeten the deal they’re challenging Hawk and Animal to their specialty, a Chicago Street Fight! The Road Warriors laugh at the two, saying that if they want to lose the titles so badly, then they’ll be happy to take them from them!</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/RonSimmons.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> We’re about to go to break, but a commotion is going on backstage – The Butcher gets shoved against a wall and punched out by Ron Simmons!

Hayes says that Gordy got the better of him at Starrcade – but he never gave up. Terry gave him all he had, and “P.S.” took it all until the referee threw it out. So Hayes says that since WCW are putting on a show that’s designed to settle scores in the most brutal way possible, “and you know exactly where I’m going with this, Terry,” Hayes says that he wants Gordy in another match – a Badstreet Brawl! Gordy grabs the microphone and tells Michael that he better be bringing some backup, because the match is on! Terry tells him he better go sit with the announcers, and get a front row seat to witness the destruction he has in mind for him in Chicago!</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/JimDuggan.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><p> <strong>“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan vs. Terry Gordy</strong></p><p><strong> Special Guest Commentator: Michael “P.S.” Hayes</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> It’s a UWF reunion! Duggan and Gordy, two big brawlers who will stand toe-to-toe against anyone, put on a nice brawl with one another here. This one could have taken place in any barroom in the continental US, is how Jesse Ventura puts it. Michael Hayes on commentary mostly puts over how he knows Gordy so well both in and out of the ring, and that he’s done with seeing his partner across the ring, he’s just another enemy. Gordy takes it to “Hacksaw” in this one, knocking him senseless on a few particular shots, but never really seems able to put him away. At the closing moments of the match, Duggan rallies, but his opponents for Uncensored make their presence felt as the Armstrong Brothers come to ringside. BG jumps up on the apron to distract referee Randy Anderson, and Brad slips in from behind to hit a three-quarter facelock russian legsweep! The Armstrongs leave the scene quickly, and when Duggan tries to drag himself back to his feet, Gordy rushes him and hits a big lariat to get the pinfall. Hayes says that the Armstrongs gift-wrapped that one for him, but Terry won’t be so lucky at Uncensored!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner: Terry Gordy</em></p><p><em> Rating: B-</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> After Gordy heads to the back, pointing at Hayes and crowing “You’re next!” on his way past, the Armstrongs keep up the attack in the ring!

This time, it’s Hollywood, Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes, and Randy Savage coming to the stage. They stay at the top of the ramp and Hogan does most of the talking, saying that Flair and Arn will find out in Chicago that this is where the power lies for a reason. Savage is seen ripping up a fan’s sign that says “Not Another WWF Reject!” Piper takes the mic for a minute to talk about Sting, saying that he’ll see him later tonight to sign the waiver, but he’ll have a great time leaving him in a puddle of his own blood again! Dusty says that he just hopes his son watches on at Uncensored, as daddy shows him how it’s done!

Their match is coming up later tonight, but right now they’re in the office of Commissioner Bockwinkel. Bockwinkel says in no uncertain terms that there is a good reason why he made sure their match tonight was not for either of their titles – because the fact is, he doesn’t really care to see either of them holding the belts they have, let alone gaining another one on top of it! He wishes them both the best of luck in coming out the winner; but if they find themselves in a position to hurt one another, go ahead. Tony and Bobby wonder what that’s all about, as a fan’s sign behind them reads “Steve Austin needs to GO!” Jesse says that even after they’ve split up, the conspiracy against his former favorite tag team seems to still be ongoing.</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/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> Elsewhere backstage, Mean Gene has caught up to Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Dustin Rhodes.

Anderson talks about how the Road Warriors seem to have this idea that they can just attack people at random just because of who they are, but next week, they want to see them face to face, in the ring! Gene asks Dustin for his thoughts, and Rhodes says that if his dad wants him to watch on Sunday, he also wants his dad to watch him, and that’s why he’s putting out a challenge to any of Dusty’s new charges to see him in the ring, whatever match they want!

It doesn’t take long for this one to degenerate into a heated brawl, as left over bad blood erupts from both men. Referee Mark Curtis keeps things in line as best he can, deliberately slowing his count when the men are out of the ring and allowing very slight leeway on the rules in the ring. Jesse says that if they’d be able to get away with much more, this would be happening at WCW Uncensored! Neither man holds the upper hand for long before the tide changes, each using his own particular strengths to full capacity to swing the momentum back and forth like a pendulum. Surprisingly, aside from cheering from the outside, Colonel Parker stays out of it. As the clock ticks away, each man’s maneuvers get more and more desperate. Each man shows remarkable foresight in countering out of not only one another’s regular finishing holds, but also their newest ones. Pillman goes for an Air Pillman, but Austin ducks. Austin tries the Stungun, but Brian knees him in the face. Pillman goes for the Loaded Gun DDT, but Austin shoves him away, making Brian land flat on his stomach. Austin tries his borrowed Diamond Cutter, but Pillman grabs the ropes to keep from dropping. The match spills into a rolling brawl on the mat – and just about that time, the timekeeper sounds the bell; the fifteen minute time limit has expired.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winner: N/A - Time Limit Draw</em></p><p><em> Rating: B</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The two men are separated, and Austin and Pillman look at one another from across the ring, both completely out of breath. Their eyes tell the story – the two threw all they had at one another, and they each just kept on coming. Austin and the Colonel leave, Parker having grabbed the US championship away already. Brian watches them on their way up the aisle, but his slick grin turns to confusion when Nick Bockwinkel emerges at the top of the entrance.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/NickBockwinkel.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Bockwinkel says that he wants to apologize to the fans for the ending of that match, as he really hoped we would have seen a winner between the two men. He says that they should not worry though, because he is coming to the ring as soon as Mr. Pillman leaves it in order to do the signing of waivers for the first blood match at Uncensored.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/GuardianAngel.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> From the crowd comes Bubba Rogers!

Both men come out, and he says that due to the graphic nature of their challenge to one another, he is making them sign a waiver that will keep WCW and the state of Illinois out of legal hot water when it comes to their match at WCW Uncensored. He asks them both to put pen to paper, and get this over with so that we can have our match. Both men take a quick moment to glance through the paperwork, and they both sign! Piper gets a microphone and reiterates how he’s going to have such a ball at Uncensored when he gets to show the world Sting’s blood. Sting says that people have seen his blood, sweat, and tears for years all over WCW rings, but in the Rosemont Horizon, there will be blood, but it will not be his! Piper says well, there’s one thing about that, and he turns and bashes Sting with the microphone! Piper stomps and kicks at Sting, driving him down into the turnbuckles, but just when the “Little Stingers” start to make Sting rally back to his feet, “Hot Rod” slips out of the ring and heads up the aisle! The camera catches Roddy saying “Not tonight, Stinger, not tonight!” and the show fades on the image of Sting telling his Uncensored opponent to come back and get more!</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/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> A video recaps the attack and the words on Saturday Night between Hollywood Hogan, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, and Arn Anderson.

<p>Saturday Night will definitely be finished and posted tomorrow, along with the Uncensored preview - so here's your <strong>24</strong>(ish) <strong>Hour Prediction Warning</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Already Predicted</span></p><p>

And here's a huge thank you to TFC and Russel for the nominations for September's DOTM!</p><p> </p><p>

Just a heads-up, but next week I'm leaving for New York Comicon. I'm really hoping to have Uncensored finished and posted either by then or maybe while I'm away and sitting at the hotel. So this one won't take long to get through, and then we move toward SuperBrawl! SuperBrawl is a show that I consider one of WCW's "big" shows, so expect to see a lot of really great build to matches for it. It isn't quite as huge as Starrcade, but I've always considered it right around the same level as Great American Bash, yet another big show! So there's gonna be a lot of hype for it!</p>

Sting is already standing by, and Roddy Piper is entering the ring. Piper quips that he “could swear he’s seen this talk show kinda gimmick before somewhere” but Jesse is all business, saying that he’s here to let these two get some final thoughts out before their big match at WCW Uncensored. “Hot Rod” says that he’s said it all already – that he can’t wait to see Sting lying in a puddle of his own blood yet again. Sting talks about how turnabout is going to be fair play, as it’s time that somebody taught Piper the lesson that you don’t go after the big dogs in another yard, when you could never handle the one from your own! Piper gets highly upset at that, saying that Sting needs to watch his mouth when he talks to a legend like him, but Sting says that he will do no such thing; stating he has nothing to fear of someone like Roddy when he’s coming to him face-to-face! Piper says that Sting may have a lot of bravado now, but the day comes when everybody has to pay the Piper, and he warns Sting that he needs to remember that there are no disqualifications in a first blood match. Sting says he’s counting on that, and says that he wants to make a deal with Piper that will extend to the referee of their match. He says that he thinks he speaks for Piper as well, in saying that neither man wants this one to end from some little bloody nose, or some trickle of blood – in Chicago, the only way their match can end is when one man is so beaten and bloodied that it’s gonna bankrupt the nearest blood bank to fill them back up! Roddy smiles, saying that for once, the two men are in agreement on something. Piper talks about how Sting needs to be taught respect; he was wrestling for World titles back when Sting was just some face painted goof teaming with some other face painted goof, and win, lose, or draw, he will give Sting a lesson that he won’t soon forget… and the lesson may start earlier than that!</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/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/Hakushi.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/SonnyOnoo.jpg</span></p><p> <strong>WCW World Television Championship</strong></p><p><strong> “Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman vs. Hakushi w/Sonny Onoo</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> These two have very similar styles, both being the smaller, more exciting high fliers who can also go well on the mat. Sonny Onoo tries to interject himself on a few occasions, but he never really does much more than provide a short lapse for Brian. Hakushi remains in control for a few minutes at a time with his chops and aerial assault, but Pillman knows all about both of these things, and after dodging away from a flipping attack from the top rope, the unhinged Television champion rushes the mysterious challenger and jumps up to drill him with the Loaded Gun DDT to retain 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: C+</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The match over, Brian grabs his TV title and a microphone. He says that he’s almost glad to not be defending his championship at Uncensored, because it means he can destroy that psycho Savage for pride rather than it being to retain his belt. He talks about how it’s starting to seem <strong>very</strong> coincidental that anytime Nick Bockwinkel comes out to talk to Pillman, it’s a distraction for a member of the KoW to jump him from behind – and why is it that ever since Halloween Havoc, have only Kings members gotten title shots at him on pay-per-view? Is someone like DDP not good enough to get a pay-per-view title match… or…</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/NickBockwinkel.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Commissioner Bockwinkel comes out now, telling Brian that he needs to shut his mouth. He says that Pillman is grinding this show to a halt when we could be seeing some good wrestling action instead. Brian laughs, saying that the only thing supposed to happen now is Tommy and Jimmy squashing some guys who WCW keep around to make look like fools every week! Bockwinkel interrupts, saying that while Brian may be pleased to not be defending his belt tomorrow night, he cannot wait to see Pillman lose that prestigious championship; so that he can get rid of him, and not have to subject the young viewers to his vulgar locker room language each week. Nick says that he’s had Turner executives breathing down his neck ever since October with them citing Pillman as a bad influence that needs dealt with. Brian says that the two are at quite a standstill then, because Pillman has seen every challenge that Bockwinkel has sent at him, and he’s still standing tall! Bockwinkel smiles, and says that maybe that won’t be for long.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/RandySavage.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> “Macho Man” has slid into the ring behind Brian and he hits him with a forearm smash to the back of the head!

Patriot starts off the interview, answering that he is so glad to be helping Duggan in trying to get the US Heavyweight title away from a man of no honor like Steve Austin. He calls Duggan a true patriot who will do this country proud as its champion, and Bagwell says that it also will help them, as defeating the Armstrongs will surely secure them a spot in either of the Tag title ranks. He says that Jim Duggan has always been one of his inspirations, and it is his pleasure to be on his side now. “Hacksaw” himself now takes over, saying that when he was challenged to a six man tag match by the Stud Stable, he knew exactly who to turn to; the team that he’d already kept a close eye on, two young men not afraid to wear the stars and bars proudly, just like himself!

Rather than talk about the match at hand, Tony talks about how big the match at Uncensored will be, as a win for Duggan and Stars ‘n Stripes means “Hacksaw” gets another United States title match, but a loss means he must leave WCW, and they speculate that the proud Duggan may not be able to handle being sent away like this by a man like Steve Austin. Duggan gets the win in this one though, his Old Glory Kneedrop on Devon Storm garnering the three.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners: Jim Duggan & Stars ‘n Stripes</em></p><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/DeanMalenko.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/LanceStorm.jpg</span><span>http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u628/beejus1/WCW-94/WCWs/GeneOkerlund.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> Backstage with Gene Okerlund we are introduced officially to Dean Malenko and Lance Storm.

Storm says to just look at them; Malenko, from one of the most respected wrestling families in the sport, and Lance himself was trained in the infamous Dungeon. Gene asks them why they’ve attacked Johnny B. Badd and Alex Wright, and Dean says that not only is it their pleasure, but also it’s because their manager has told them to go after the two to make an example. Okerlund asks who their manager is, but neither man answers the question, saying that everyone will know as soon as they want people to know.

Onoo takes the microphone and clarifies that Vader will let someone pick the stipulation, all they have to do is be a willing sacrifice to him! A few moments go by with no answer, and Vader gets furious! He says he’ll face anybody, no matter big or small, old or young, because he is VADER! And it doesn’t matter who they are, they’ll learn to fear the monster!

The Queen spends this entire interview hanging off of Hogan’s World title-clad shoulder. Mean Gene looks upset that he’s even out here, but it’s just that he’s a good actor like that….

A sign goes up in the crowd reading “PUT ‘EM IN A BODYBAG!” and at certain points of this it looks as though big Ron could be a reason to do so for young Kip. At one point, Kip is in command of the match, but he is too beaten and worn down to lift Ron for his Silicon Valley Slam! Unfortunately, referee Mickey Jay gets caught in the face with Simmons’s boots when Kip tried to lift him, and Mickey goes down hard – leaving him unable to make a count when Ron smashes Kip halfway to China with a spinebuster! At this point, Jimmy Hart climbs into the ring and hits Ron with his megaphone – but it has no real effect! Ron gets up and gets in Hart’s face, but out comes the troops! Roddy Piper directs traffic as The Butcher and Bubba Rogers both put a beating on the former All-American, punctuating it with a vicious Bubba Slam!

Tony says that it could be due to both men getting lost in the shuffle of all the great talent in WCW, and a win here could help propel one of them toward gold. Parker in particular on the outside looks pretty gruff, and commentary wonder why that could be. DDP almost puts Martel away on a few separate occasions, showing that while he may not be the “crown jewel” of the Stud Stable, he’s still one of its most dangerous members. Page even hits the D-D-Pancake on Martel and almost gets the pin there, but Rick is too close to the ropes and puts his foot on them to cause a break. DDP whips Martel to the ropes, but Martel reverses, and a distracted Colonel accidentally trips his own man!

Four legends of the sport of pro wrestling doing battle, with yet another legend on the outside. It takes no time at all for this one to live up to the hype, as Flair and Arn use every bit of their wile and technical acumen in order to stand a chance against the brutish Warriors. This one is a match straight out of the late 1980s, but the difference is that instead of the Horsemen being the ones trying so hard to cheat their way to victory over the fan favorite Hawk and Animal, it’s the viciousness of the unleashed Road Warriors trying to slaughter the virtuous best friends. Anderson and Animal put on a match of brute strength, but only until that doesn’t work, in which case Arn relies on a stick-and-move plan until he begins working on the left arm. Anderson and Flair start tagging in and out, always keeping a fresh man in the battle – but all at once, that too falls apart, as the hotheaded “Nature Boy” gets distracted from the outside by Rhodes and is beaten and dragged into the wrong part of town. Dusty begins to gloat to the camera, while yelling at a fan who’s sign says “The Horsemen are Warriors!”, but it’s only briefly – as Saturday Night goes to a commercial, “The Enforcer” waves to the back and out comes Dustin Rhodes!</p><p> </p><p> Dustin stands on the other side of the ring sternly, almost never breaking the gaze of his father on the opposite end of the arena. The match goes on with no interference from the outside, it remains between the four men in the ring. Flair is being destroyed by the Road Warriors though, and it starts to really look like this one has a foregone conclusion. The tide of battle turns though, when Animal lifts Flair into a hanging chokehold! Referee Mark Curtis starts counting, and Animal drops him before the five but instantly lifts him again! As Curtis is admonishing Animal, one Flair’s flailing legs catch Animal in the groin! Dusty jumps up on the apron to call attention as Animal drops Ric quickly, as Jesse and Bobby both talk about how that wasn’t intentional – but when Mark’s back is turned, the hellacious low blow that Flair unleashes on Animal is completely on purpose! Animal drops to the mat, and both Flair and Animal make tags to Anderson and Hawk! The two brawl in the center of the ring, and Dusty interjects himself again by grabbing Arn’s foot as he was backed into the corner, leading to a big running clothesline smashing him in the turnbuckles! Curtis turns to him, as the Road Warriors begin to set “Double A” up for the Doomsday Device! But little does anyone see Dustin climbing into the ring – he hits Animal with yet another low blow! When Hawk leaps, Animal staggers, and Arn grabs Hawk and pulls him into a huge DDT! Dustin pulls Animal out of the ring along with him as Arn makes the cover – Mark Curtis counts 1! 2! 3!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:right;"><p><em>Winners: Ric Flair and Arn Anderson</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/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/kow.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> The match over, now all heck breaks loose!

It looks as though the numbers have gotten the KoW another advantageous win yet again, and right before the big first pay-per-view extravaganza of the year, Uncensored too. A sign in the crowd begs that it is “Time For The Horsemen To Ride Again!” and right now, Flair and Arn may even agree!

<p>Bunkhouse Brawl</p><p>

<strong>“Nature Boy” Ric Flair & “Enforcer” Arn Anderson</strong> vs. Hollywood Hogan & “American Outlaw” Dusty Rhodes w/The Queen</p><p>

<em>The presence of the semi-retired Dusty meanst that there's someone on hand to take the fall... Flair continues to be a thorn in Hollywood's side.</em></p><p> </p><p>

First Blood Match</p><p>

<strong>“Hot Rod” Roddy Piper</strong> w/Jimmy Hart vs. Sting</p><p>

<em>Shennanigans abound but there's plenty of time to build the Stinger back up so Piper taking 'first blood' in their matches makes sense.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Chicago Street Fight – WCW World Tag Team Championships</p><p>

Harlem Heat vs. <strong>The Road Warriors w/Dusty Rhodes</strong></p><p>

<em>Chicago Street Fight rather than a Harlem Rumble gives the edge to the Road Warriors for me!</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Straightjacket Match</p><p>

<strong>“Macho Man” Randy Savage</strong> vs. “Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman</p><p>

<em>Non-title gives the edge to Macho. It won't end the feud though!</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Two out of Three Falls</p><p>

“Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff w/Dusty Rhodes vs. <strong>“The Natural” Dustin Rhodes</strong></p><p>

<em>Mr Wonderful is the weakest link in the old guard for me and The Natural is in the sights of Daddy dearest.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>The Stud Stable (Steve Austin & The Armstrong Brothers) w/Colonel Robert Parker</strong> vs. “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan & Stars ‘n Stripes</p><p>

<em>God I hope so... go away already Duggan!</em></p><p> </p><p>

No Disqualification Match</p><p>

Terry Funk vs. <strong>“The Monster” Vader w/Sonny Onoo</strong></p><p>

<em>It'll be a toughie but Vader should have enough to take out Vader.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Badstreet Brawl</p><p>

<strong>Michael “P.S.” Hayes</strong> vs. Terry Gordy</p><p>

<em>Hayes evens the score in Badstreet.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

World of Sport match</p><p>

<strong>JPL</strong> vs. Lord Steven Regal w/Baron Leonard Tomas</p><p>

<em>JPL is the breakout star here.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Tiebreaker Questions:</p><p>

1. Which match will be the highest rated? Arn/Flair vs Hogan/Rhodes</p><p>

2. Will anyone make a debut? Yes </p><p>

3. If yes, who will the debut come out to challenge? Vader</p><p>

4. Which match will end the show? Piper/Sting</p><p>

5. Who will take the fall in the six man tag? Duggan</p><p> </p><p>

Fun Fan Signs: </p><p>

Duggan: Time To GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!</p>
