It is set in the modern day. Just try and think of the wrestlers in their respective primes when reading. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Always appreciate some feedback.

WCW MAYHEM - EP. 1 - DAYTON, OH - HARA ARENA - 4-21-15 (Live)

 

(Show Intro)

 

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

 

(In-ring: Fans were already going wild for the debut episode of 'Mayhem' as the show began and they grew even louder when the theme from '2001: A Space Odyssey' blared over the p.a. system.

 

Ric Flair walked out on the entrance stage and the crowd nearly blew the roof off the building. He was in an expensive suit and looking as only he could as he made his way to the ring with mic in hand. Flair climbed into the ring and briefly walked around and soaked in the rabid crowd reaction. Flair then opened his suit jacket and spun around and styled and profiled to the delight of the crowd.

 

RF: "Somebody told me that the only place to party tonight was Dayton, Ohio! Whoo!"

 

Crowd popped.

 

RF: "World Class Wrestling marks a new chapter in the great history of the greatest sport in the world, professional wrestling! We're not sports entertainers here in World Class! We are wrestlers...period! Unlike in some leagues where all sorts of wild and crazy antics take precedence over the wrestling, in World Class, the wrestling is gonna take center stage! Whoo!"

 

More roaring crowd approval.

 

RF: "Here, we take the word wrestling seriously! That's what we do! And we're not ashamed of it! What happens in this squared circle is gonna define us here in World Class! That's gonna be the bottom line! This is a sport; not a long-winded soap opera! You wanna watch a soap opera...then you know who you can turn on!"

 

Fans cheered.

 

RF: "When approached with the opportunity to be part of this ground-breaking promotion, there was no way the 'Nature Boy' could say no! The roster being assembled here definitely fits the company name, World Class Wrestling! And I intend to style and profile as only I can on my way to the top of the mountain! Whoo!"

 

Crowd cheers suddenly shifted to boos when Larry Zbysko, in street clothes, came to the ring with mic in hand.

 

LZ: "Hey, Flair! Hey!"

 

Zbysko climbed into the ring as the booing continued.

 

LZ: "It's fitting! Only people who live in an armpit like Dayton, Ohio would boo a 'Living Legend' like Larry Zbysko!"

 

More boos.

 

RF: "What do you want, Zbysko?"

 

LZ stalked around the ring for a moment.

 

LZ: "Flair, let me let you in on a little known fact! In all my years in this business, I have never lost a match in Dayton, Ohio! I am undefeated in this cesspool of a city!"

 

RF: "That's just great, Larry. You're undefeated in Dayton. Is that all?"

 

LZ: "No, Ric. That's not all. You see, I'm standing backstage and listening to you blather on as only you can. You say World Class has top-tier talent. Well, I am the top tier!"

 

RF: "You are, huh?"

 

LZ: "Is there any doubt?! These idiots out here, their opinions don't count! They don't know greatness! If they did, they would be cheering me and booing you!"

 

RF: "Is that so..."

 

LZ: "Yeah! That's so! And I intend to prove it to these clowns...tonight! Ric Flair! I'm willing to put my Dayton winning streak on the line against you!"

 

RF: "You want a match with me tonight?"

 

LZ: "You bet!"

 

RF: "You're serious?"

 

LZ: "Am I serious?!"

 

Zbysko then reared back and stunned Flair with a slap to the face that led to Flair dropping his mic. Zbysko looked on as a now pissed Flair took off his suit jacket and tossed it aside picked up his mic.

 

LZ: "How's that for ser..."

 

Flair got right in Zbysko's face. Flair's face was red and his eyes were bulging out.

 

RF: "Zbysko, dammit! You want a match with me tonight! You got it, pal!"

 

Crowd popped as the two stared each other down briefly in the ring before Zbysko coolly turned and started to leave. As Zbysko climbed out on the apron, Flair had one more thing to say.

 

RF: "I'm gonna be the man who deals you your first loss in Dayton! Whoo!"

 

Zbysko looked back at Flair as Flair glared at Zbysko. Zbysko then dropped to the floor and headed back up the aisle as Flair ran into the ropes on all four sides to the delight of the fans.)

 

(Announcers Tony Schiavone and Mark Madden, from the ring announcer's position at ringside, welcomed viewers to the debut episode of WCW 'Mayhem'. They briefly talked about it being a new era that was about to be launched for professional wrestling. They then ran down the card: Ric Flair vs. Larry Zbysko; Steve O vs. Kamala; and coming up after the break: 'Cowboy' Bob Orton vs. Dynamite Kid.)

 

(Commercials)

 

(Backstage: In the backstage interview area, interviewer Scott Hudson interviewed Steve O.

 

SH: "Hello, wrestling fans. I'm Scott Hudson, your backstage interviewer for 'Mayhem'. Would you please welcome my first-ever guest here in the interview area, Steve O."

 

Steve O, in his ring gear, walked into the interview area.

 

SH: "Steve, welcome to World Class Wrestling."

 

O: "Thank you, Scott. It's great to be a part of this groundbreaking promotion."

 

SH: "Steve, I think we need to clarify something for the fans at home. Even though your ring name is Steve O, you are not the same Steve O of 'Jackass' fame."

 

O: (Chuckles) "That's right. I am not the guy from 'Jackass'. My full name is Steve Olsonoski. But I go by the ring name of Steve O. You won't see me jumping naked into a pit of broken glass or anything crazy like that, I can assure you."

 

SH: "Alright. (Laughs) Tonight, Steve, you are thrown into the fire right away as you face the always unpredictable Kamala the Ugandan Headhunter. What are your thoughts heading into this match."

 

O: "Kamala can be a real wildcard in that ring. However, one thing people wil notice is that his handler, Kimchee, and his manager, Adnan El Kaissey, have trained the big man very well. Kamala may be from the wild. But he can suprise you with the actual wrestling he knows. But, like anything from the wild, he can also try and tear his opponent apart. That can work for him or against him. While I can't go in that ring and be intimidated and too conservative in my approach, I will have to pick and choose my spots carefully because, one wrong move with Kamala, and I could be in serious trouble."

 

SH: "Thanks for your time, Steve. Good luck tonight. Tony and Mark, back to you.")

 

Match 1

Dynamite Kid vs. 'Cowboy' Bob Orton

 

(As Orton came to the ring to 'Desperado' by Alice Cooper, the fans did not seem to know what to make of him. Orton was wearing his cowboy hat, blue tights, black wrestling boots with horseshoes on the outside of each boot. The puzzler was his shirt. As Orton made his way down the aisle, many fans cheered Orton because he was wearing a red Ohio State national college football champions t-shirt. That went over well with the Dayton fans. Orton showed off his shirt to fans while comng down the aisle. He then climbed into the ring and walked to all four sides and pointed at his shirt so the fans noticed what he was wearing. Many fans were cheering Orton.

 

Orton then walked over by the ropes and gestured for the ring mic and was handed it.

 

BO: "How about this, huh? The 'Cowboy' is wearing the shirt of the college football national champions...your Ohio State Buckeyes."

 

Many fans cheered.

 

BO: "And I just wanted to show you what I think of Ohio State and Ohio itself."

 

Orton walked over to the corner and placed his hat on the top of the ring post and placed the mic on the mat. Orton then walked back to the center of the ring and took off the OSU shirt, blew his nose in it, threw it down on the ground and repeatedly stomped on it. Now the crowd was strongly booing Orton as Orton picked up the shirt and tossed it out of the ring down to the floor and Orton started laughing.

 

'London Calling' by The Clash played over the p.a. system and the fans popped as the Dynamite Ked came to the ring. He was in leg-length tights that were red, white and blue, the colors of the Union Jack. His boots were red with small Union Jacks on the outside of each boot. His ring jacket was white with blue trim around the wrists and the neck and the Union Jack emblazoned across the back and his name emblazoned in red block letters under the flag.

 

DK slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. He then climbed into the ring and waved to the crowd.

 

DK took off his ring jacket and turned to hand it down to a ring attendant when Orton tried to Pearl Harbor DK but DK moved out of the way.

 

Ref called for the bell.

 

DK blasted BO with a series of European uppercuts. DK whipped BO into the ropes and caught BO coming off with a dropkick that dropped BO. BO got to his feet and was greeted with another dropkick. BO got up in the corner and DK moved in a caught BO with a monkey flip. As BO got up, DK moved in and stunned BO with a lariat. BO went down again and rolled out on the ring apron. DK came over and reached over the top rope and pulled BO to his feet. DK went to suplex BO into the ring but BO twice blocked the move and instead suplexed DK from the ring to the floor. DK down. BO jumped off the ring apron down to the floor as the ref started the 20-count. BO stomped on the downed DK. BO then pulled DK up and sent DK hurtling towards the ringside barricade. DK slammed into the barricade and was down in a heap. BO pulled DK up and slammed DK's head into the ring apron and threw DK back in the ring. BO then snatched DK up in a side headlock and backed into the corner. BO blasted DK with a running bulldog. BO for the cover. 1...2... DK kicked out. BO and DK got to their feet and BO caught DK with a solid right to the head and whipped DK into the corner. BO went for another bulldog only this time DK shoved BO off and BO crashed to the mat. Both men down briefly and started to get to their feet. BO charged at DK and went to nail DK with a clothesline but DK ducked the move. BO spun around and walked right into an inverted atomic drop. BO crashed to the mat. DK backed up against the ropes as BO sat up. DK nailed BO with a low flying dropkick to the chest. DK for the quick cover. 1... BO kicked out. DK snatched up BO and whipped BO into the corner. DK backed up and came at BO with a running high knee to the chest but BO moved and DK crashed knee-first into the top buckle. DK stumbled back and went down. BO moved in and put the boots to DK. BO then picked up DK and bodyslammed DK in the corner for a turnbuckle move. BO mounted the middle buckle facing the crowd. BO bounced up and down a few times on the ropes and then went to nail DK with a slingshot splash but DK got his knees up and BO crashed gut-first into them. BO, still on his feet, stumbled back while grabbing his gut. DK made it to his feet and moved in on BO. BO went to punch DK but DK blocked the punch try and blasted BO with a series of European uppercuts that staggered BO. DK then snap suplexed into position for a turnbuckle move. Crowd buzzing. DK went out on the apron and climbed to the top buckle. After a brief pause, DK launched himself high into the air and came down and pulverized BO with a diving headbutt. DK covered BO and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Fans cheered the DK victory. After DK, had his hand raised in victory, DK left the ring and slapped hands with fans on the way back up the aisle.

 

WINNER: Dynamite Kid - Pinfall - Diving Headbutt - 6:07)

 

(Anns. Schiavone and Madden discussed Dynamite Kid beating Bob Orton. Then sent it backstage.)

 

(Backstage: Scott Hudson interviewed Sheik Adnan El-Kaissey.

 

SH: "Please welcome my guests at this time, Sheik Adnan El-Kaissey, Kamala and Kamala's handler Kimchee."

 

The trio walked into the interview area. Kaissey was dressed immaculately in an expensive gray suit with white dress shirt and red tie. He was also wearing the traditional male Arab head scarf and had pricey rings on two fingers on each hand and a gold chain bracelet on his wrist. Kamla was in his loin cloth and wearing his traditional hand carved large African face mask. he had symbols painted on his belly. Kimchee was dressed in a short sleeve safari shirt and safari shorts and pith helmet. He was also wearing a brown and white pro wrestling-style mask and carrying a riding crop. Kamala was moving around in the interview area and looking at Scott Hudson. Kamala started slapping his belly. Hudson was uneasy.

 

SH: "He's already making me nervous."

 

Adnan: "Allah Akbar! Scott Hudson! You have nothing to worry about as long as Kimchee and myself are with Kamala! We are the only two men on earth who can control him and keep him from reverting to his brutal, savage, jungle ways!"

 

SH (sarcastically): "That makes me feel better."

 

Kamala kept shifting around and slapped his belly again. Kimchee was standing beside Kam and gesturing for him to remain calm.

 

Adnan: "I am a man of great wealth from the nation of Iraq! And I am investing some of my fortune in building a wrestling power! Kamala is a beast! And tonight is the first night of many that the beast will be unleashed on the other wrestlers here in WCW! He is the most unpredictable wrestler in the entire world! What will he do in that ring?! No one knows! If Kimchee and myself weren't around, who knows what kind of destruction Kamala would leave in his wake! Only we have the power to reign him in! Let that be a warning to WCW! You don't want to get on our bad side! Or we might just send Kamala to the ring alone! May Allah have mercy on us all if that happens! Steve O! You might be a good wrestler! But you have never faced anyone like my soldier, Kamala! He is the..."

 

SH: "What do you mean soldier... HEY!!!"

 

Kamala suddenly reached over and grabbed Hudson by the shoulder and started pulling Hudson towards him. Kimchee stepped in and grabbed Kamala's arm that was on Hudson's shoulder and frantically shook his head 'no' and waved his free hand in Kamala's face. Kamala wouldn't let go.

 

SH: "Stop him!"

 

Kimchee finally got Kamala to let go and Kaissey signaled for the three to leave the interview area. Kamala briefly continued to stare at Hudson through his tribal mask before Kimchee was able to lead him out of the interview area.

 

SH (shaken up): "Tony and Mark. Back to you.")

 

(Schiavone and Madden discussed the Hudson interview with El-Kaissey, Kamala and Kimchee. Hyped Flair vs. Zbysko was still to come. Said Steve O vs. Kamala was up next.)

 

(Commercials)

 

Match 2

Steve O vs. Kamala (W/ El-Kaissey & Kimchee)

 

('Hand Jive' by George Thorogood played over the p.a. system as O came out to a modest reaction from the crowd. O was wearing a blue ring jacket with 'Steve O' written in white cursive letters on the back, blue tights and white boots with blue trim. O slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.

 

After O got in the ring, 'Cry of the Vatos' by Oingo Boingo played and out came Kamala, Kimchee and El-Kaissey to a modest amount of boos. The trio got in the ring and Kimchee removed Kamala's African tribal mask revealing a painted face. Kamala slapped his belly. Kaissey had a few words for Kamala and then he and Kimchee left the ring.

O got to his feet and walked right into a 2-hand throat thrust from Kamala. O stumbled back into the corner. Kamala nailed O with some more chops to the head and then started choking O. Kamala only broke the choke at the count of 4 because Kimchee signaled for him to do so. Kamala looked briefly at his handlers and then pulled O out of the corner, whipped O into the ropes and caught O coming off with a savate kick. O crashed to the mat. Kamala reached down and started to pull O up by the hair and briefly glanced over at his handlers when O stunned Kamala by catching him in a small package. 1...2... Kamala kicked out. Crowd groaned.

After the match, Kimchee and El-Kaissey got into the ring. Kimchee signaled for Kamala to get off of the defeated O. Kamala got up. Kimchee geatured it was time to leave the ring and he and Kaissey started to leave. Kamala looked at the downed O for a few seconds. Kimchee and Kaissey now out on the apron. Kimchee gestured it was time to go. Kamala instead reached down and pulled O up by the hair. Kimchee got back in the ring and wildly gestured for Kamala not to do anything else. Kamala looked at Kimchee and then went to bite O's head. Kimchee poked Kamala in the chest with the riding crop and shook his head 'no'. Kamala went to feast on O's head again. Kimchee again gestured 'no' and raised the riding crop. Kamala held O for a few more seconds before letting him go. O fell back to the mat and Team Kamala made their way out of the ring and back up the aisle.

(Announcers discussed the win by Kamala and that Steve O gave him quite a fight before losing and Kamala looking to turn O's head into a snack. Said Flair vs. Zbysko was coming up. Then sent it backstage to Scott Hudson.)

 

(Backstage: Hudson interviewed 'American Gigolo' Buff Bagwell.

 

SH: "It's been quite an opening night for World Class 'Mayhem'. And our main event should really cap off what has been a great evening.

 

"Would you now please welcome my guest at this time, 'American Gigolo' Buff Bagwell."

 

Bagwell and three attractive, lust-filled women entered the interview area. Bagwell was wearing a black sweatsuit and the jacket was unzipped revealing no shirt underneath. Bagwell kissed all three women on the lips.

 

SH: "Buff Bagwell, next week right here on 'Mayhem', you will be making your World Class debut. But you seem to have your hands full right now."

 

The women were all over Bagwell and giggling and purring.

 

BB: "Scott, my hands are gonna get a lot fuller later tonight. Right, ladies?!"

 

The women just kept giggling, purring and touching Bagwell.

 

BB: "Heh heh heh. Man, I have the two greatest jobs in the world. One of which can't air on television. But as for my other job, next week people are gonna get to see the perfect male work his magic in the ring. It doesn't matter who they put in the ring with me, baby. I'm Buff Bagwell. And as you know...Buff is the stuff! Haha!"

 

More kissing and touching between Bagwell and the girls.

 

SH: "Well, for your more, ahem, family-friendly job, what are your goals here in World Class Wrestling?"

 

BB: "I only have one goal here, man. And that's to be number one. I'm already the number one gigolo. It's now time for Buff to step up and be the number one wrestler in the sport. It's like this, Scott."

 

Bagwell leaned over and whispered something in Hudson's ear. Hudson looked stunned.

 

SH: "I don't think you can say that on the air, Buff."

 

BB: "Hey. My time is money and these sexy ladies are still on the clock. We're outta here! Until next week, Scotty!"

 

Bagwell and the three ladies walked out of the interview area.

 

SH: "That's 'American Gigolo' Buff Bagwell. Tony and Mark. Back to you.")

Match 3

Ric Flair vs. Larry Zbysko

 

(Announcers said they would stay with the match to its conclusion. Also said that Flair is the master of the figure 4 and Zbysko the master of the guillotine choke.

 

Zbysko came to the ring to the song 'I'm The Man' by Anthrax. He was in his black ring jacket with the initials 'LZ' in cursive lettering across the back, black tights and black boots with his initials 'LZ' also in cursive gold lettering on the outside of them. Zbysko was firmly booed by the overwhelming majority of the crowd. Zbysko had words with fans on the way down the aisle to the ring. Zbysko got in the ring and went and stood on one of the middle buckles and raised his arms victoriously in the air to more boos.

 

After a brief pause, the theme from '2001: A Space Odyssey' played over the p.a. system. Fans started cheering loudly right away. The cheers grew louder as Flair came out on the entrnace stage and made his way down the aisle. Flair was in his flowing black and white robe with silver sequins on it and 'Nature Boy' written in cursive on the back. Flair entered the ring and removed his robe and handed it off to a ringside attendant. Flair was in his powder blue tights with a cursive 'RF' above the left thight and his powder blue boots with white trim with 'RF' in print initials on the outside of each.

 

Ref called for the bell.

 

The two men came out of their corners and circled one another. Just as they prepared to lock-up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up, Flair suddenly pulled back, ran his hands through his hair, did the Ric Flair strut and yelled 'Whoo!' and the crowd responded in kind. The two men briefly sized each other up and locked up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. After a brief struggle, Flair gained the advantage and shoved Zbysko to the mat. Zbysko slammed the mat with his hand and then got back to his feet. The men locked up in a collar-and-elbow again and once again Flair shoved Zbysko down to the mat. Zbysko popped to his feet and was not a happy camper. Flair went to move in on Zbysko, but Zbysko bailed from the ring and dropped to the floor to the boos of the crowd. Flair went to go after Zbysko but the ref intercepted him and ordered him to stand back. Ref started the 20-count. Zbysko walked around on the floor a little more and then started having words with fans at ringside. Flair ignored the ref and left the ring and dropped to the floor. Zbysko was facing ringside when Flair came up behind Zbysko, spun him around and blasted away on Zbysko with a series of stiff chest chops. Fans 'Whoo!'d the chops. Flair grabbed the staggered Zbysko and threw him back into the ring. Flair climbed back into the ring as Zbysko was getting up. Zbysko backed up and Flair moved in and was caught with a kick to the gut. Zbysko then caught Flair in a side headlock which Flair countered into a belly-to-back suplex. Flair then dropped a couple of elbow smashes on the downed Zbysko. Flair backed into the ropes and came off with a kneedrop attempt to the head but Zbysko rolled out of the way and Flair crashed to the mat. Flair got to his hands and knees and Zbysko nailed Flair with a couple of stiff kicks to the side of the ribs. Zbysko snapped Flair up, whipped Flair into the ropes and caught Flair coming off with a spin kick. Flair crashed to the mat and rolled over by the ropes. Zbysko came over, grabbed the top rope and nailed Flair with boots to the body. Zbysko snapped Flair up, whipped Flair into the buckles and followed Flair in with a blistering series of shoulder blocks to the mid-section. Flair hurting in the corner. Zbysko pulled Flair out of the corner and blasted Flair with a swinging neckbreaker. Zbysko went for the cover and placed his feet on the bottom rope for leverage. 1...2... Flair got a shoulder up. Zbysko went for the pin again and once more placed his feet on the bottom rope. 1...2... Ref saw Zbysko's feet on the bottom rope and ordered a break in the pin try.

 

Zbysko got to his feet and had words with the ref. Flair started to recover as Zbysko suddenly shoved the ref. The ref shoved Zbysko back and Zbysko stumbled backwards and Flair caught Zbysko with a roll-up from behind for the pin try. Flair, channeling his inner heel, grabbed a handful of Zbysko's tights. 1...2...2-1/2... Zbysko kicked out. Crowd groaned. Zbysko up as Flair was getting up. Zbysko moved in to try and kick Flair but Flair caught Zbysko's leg and took Zbysko off his feet. Flair quickly moved in and caught Zbysko in the figure 4. Crowd popped like corn. Zbysko briefly struggled in the hold before being able to move close enough to the ropes to get his hand on the bottom rope to force a break in the hold. Zbysko got to his feet next to th ropes and Flair nailed Zbysko with a knee to the gut and then another round of blistering chest chops. Zbysko walking down stagger street. Zbysko staggered into the corner. Flair grabbed Zbysko by the back of the head and rammed Zbysko's head into the top buckle three times. Zbysko spun around and Flair mounted the middle buckle over Zbysko and nailed Zbysko with a series of head shots. Zbysko grabbed Flair and went to nail Flair with an inverted atomic drop but Flair blocked the move and tackled Zbysko to the mat and popped Zbysko with more punches to the head. Flair then went to place the stunned the Zbysko in the figure 4 again, but as he was applying it Zbysko was able to kick Flair off. Flair slammed front-first into the buckles. Zbysko came up behind Flair and nailed Flair with a two-fisted backsmash. Flair started to walk out of the corner when Zbysko moved in locked Flair in the abdominal stretch. Zbysko locked in tight on Flair. Ref moved over and asked Flair if he submitted. While that was going on, Zbysko grabbed the top rope for leverage out of the ref's line of sight to add pressure to the hold. Ref looked over just as Zbysko let go of the top rope. Ref turned his attention back to Flair and Zbysko once again grabbed the top rope for leverage. Flair in great pain but not submitting. Once again, Zbysko let go of the top rope just before the ref looked over. Zbysko held the hold on for a few seconds longer before Flair was able to power up and hip toss Zbysko and free himself from the hold. Flair dropped to his knees and Zbysko was down. Flair got to his feet as Zbysko was still laying there. As Flair reached down to pull Zbysko up, Zbysko reached up and grabbed Flair's head and attempted to lock Flair in the guillotine choke.

 

Madden: "If Zbysko locks his legs around Flair's waist then this is over! Tap city, baby!"

 

The two briefly struggled as Zbysko tried to wrap his legs around Flair's waist and Flair kept resisting. Flair maneuvered his foot near enough to the bottom rope and get his foot on it and force a break in the hold. Flair on his hands and knees by the ropes. Zbysko grabbed the top rope and nailed Flair with a series of knees to the side of the ribs. Zbysko then grabbed Flair by the hair and threw him out into the middle of the ring. Zbysko went out on the apron as Flair made his way to his feet. Zbysko made his way to the top buckle. Zbysko came off with an attempted double sledge to the head but Flair stunned Zbysko with a gut shot. Flair found the strength to then light Zbysko up with another series of rapid-fire chops. 'Whoo!' with every chop. Flair then grabbed Zbysko and stunned Zbysko with a shin breaker. Zbysko crashed to the mat as Flair held onto Zbysko's left leg and locked in the figure 4. Crowd roaring. Zbysko fighting not to submit. Zbysko fought with all he had to try and reverse the hold. Zbysko almost got the move reversed when Flair was able to shift his weight and maintain a firm grip on the hold. A few seconds later, Zbysko tapped out as the crowd erupted. Ref called for the bell. Zbysko prone and hurting on the mat. An exhusted Flair made it to his feet and had his hand raised in victory as the program went off the air.

 

WINNER: Flair - Submission - Figure Four - 12:17)

WCW MAYHEM - EP. 2 - DAYTON, OH - HARA ARENA - 4-28-15 (Taped)

 

(Show Intro)

 

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)

 

(Announcers Tony Schiavone and Mark Madden welcomed viewers and then ran down the program: Tommy Rich vs. Nord The Barbarian; 'American Gigolo' Buff Bagwell makes his WCW debut; Larry Zbysko is here; and more. Then sent it to the ring for the opening match.)

 

Match 1

'Longrider' Bill Irwin vs. Don Muraco

 

(Muraco came to the ring first to the theme from the original 'Hawaii Five-O'. Modest amount of boos for Muraco. Muraco was in his trademark purple tights and black boots. Muraco got in the ring and took the ring announcer mic from r.a. Craig Johnson. Muraco walked around for a few seconds.

 

DM: "Would you look at all the white trash in this building tonight?!"

 

Now the boos grew louder.

 

DM: "We'd have a toxic disaster of epic proportions if the sanitation department picked you all up and dumped you in a landfill. I can see it now. The landfill would be filled with a hideous green glow. Green slime would ooze out everywhere from the place where all the white trash was dumped. The President would declare a state of emergency. Every environmental agency would be called out to cut off the flow of white trash goo. Because if that white trash was allowed to spread far and wide, the entire mainland of the United States would be covered in it. That can't be allowed to happen. I don't want my people swallowed up in the poison known as white trash."

 

More boos.

 

DM: "I had a little trouble finding the arena tonight. I'm lucky I even made it here. You wouldn't believe the number of trailer parks I drove by to get here. I thought Jeb and Cooter might pop out from behind one of the many rusted out vehicles I saw on the hallowed white trash grounds of the trailer park and try and force me off the road and go all 'Deliverance' on me. Fortunately, that didn't happen. I made it. Bill Irwin. Come on down and get your white trash ass kicked!"

 

'Nevada Fighter' by Mike Nesmith came roaring out of the p.a. system as Bill Irwin came running out to the ring. Irwin's cowboy hat flew off coming down the ramp and he took off his black trench coat and dropped it in the aisle as he hurriedly made it to the ring. He was also in blue jeans and cowboy-style wrestling boots. Irwin slid into the ring and popped to his feet. Fans already into it.

 

Irwin and Muraco charged at each other and started exchanging a rapid-fire series of punches. Irwin got the upper hand and went to whip Muraco into the ropes but Muraco reversed and sent Irwin into the ropes. Muraco looked to catch Irwin coming off with a clothesline but Irwin ducked the move and came back and dropped Muraco with a flying lariat. Irwin then started pounding the back of Muraco's head into the mat to 'white trash' approval. Muraco rolled over on his side and was grabbing the back of his head. Irwin pulled Muraco up and slammed Muraco's head into the top buckle 10 straight times. The stunned Muraco turned around in the corner and Irwin nailed him with some head and body shots. Muraco staggered out of the corner and went down to a knee by the ropes. Irwin ran and hit the opposite ropes as Muraco was getting to his feet. Muraco backdropped the hard-charging Irwin over the top rope. Irwin crashed to the floor and was hurting. Muraco left the ring and dropped to the floor. Muraco delivered a football-style kick to the downed Irwin's gut. Muraco pulled Irwin up by his long hair and slammed Irwin's head into the top of the ringside barricade twice. Muraco then added insult to injury by whipping Irwin into the ring steps. Irwin crashed into the steps and went down in a heap on the floor. Muraco climbed back into the ring to break the ref's 20-count and then went over by the ropes where the timekeeper's table was an demanded the mic. Muraco took the mic and walked over to where Irwin was downed, pointed at Irwin and said:

 

DM: "Look at Bill Irwin lying there in a heap. He looks like the epitome of white trash. One big steaming, stinking pile of sh..."

 

The ref grabbed the mic out of Muraco's hand before he could finish the sentence.

 

Irwin started to slowly make his way to his feet on the floor as Muraco stepped out onto the ring apron. Irwin got up and Muraco came off with a fist drop attempt but Irwin suddenly dropped down to the floor and as soon as Muraco's feet hit the floor, Irwin stunned Muraco with a legdive takedown. Muraco stumbled forward and slammed into the ringside barricade. Irwin got to his feet as Muraco was draped over the barricade. Irwin repaid Muraco by slamming Muraco's head into the ringside barricade a couple of times and then tossing Muraco back in the ring. Irwin mounted the top buckle as Muraco got to his feet. Muraco turned towards Irwin and was blasted with a flying lariat off the top rope. Muraco back down. Irwin covered Muraco for the pin. 1...2...2-1/2... Muraco kicked out. Irwin snapped up Muraco, whipped Muraco into the ropes and caught Muraco coming off with an elbow to the chest. Muraco crashed to the mat. Irwin then hit Muraco with a standing leg drop. Irwin again for the cover. 1...2... Muraco got a shoulder up. Irwin reached down and began to pull Muraco up when Muraco stunned Irwin with a low blow. Irwin crashed to the mat. Muraco got to a knee and then slowly made his way to his feet and went over and put the boots to Irwin. Muraco pulled Irwin up and whipped Irwin into the buckles. Muraco popped Irwin with a few head shots and then choked Irwin out with his boot. Muraco broke the illegal hold at the count of 4 and then repeated it and once again stopped at the ref's count of 4. Irwin went down and was grabbing his throat. Muraco stood over the hurting Irwin. Muraco then snapped Irwin up, and hoisted Irwin into the fireman's carry position and pulverized Irwin with a Samoan Drop. Muraco for the cover. 1...2...2-3/4... Irwin barely got a shoulder up. Crowd buzzing. Muraco then got on top of Irwin, pulled Irwin's head up and slapped Irwin hard across the face three times.

 

Muraco then pulled Irwin to his feet, whipped Irwin into the ropes and caught Irwin coming off with a press slam. Irwin rolled over near the ropes and looked near dead. Muraco slowly stalked Irwin as Irwin struggled to pull himself to his feet with the aid of the ropes. Muraco took advantage and raked Irwin's eyes across the top rope. Irwin grabbed at his eyes as Muraco continued to stalk him. With Irwin still near the ropes, Muraco went for the eye rake on the ropes again but Irwin started to struggle with Muraco. Muraco was standing behind Irwin and Irwin repaid Muraco with a heel to the groin. Muraco grabbed his groin area and started jumping around in the ring. Crowd into it. Irwin turned and had his back against the ropes and was feeling the effects of the match. Irwin moved in on Muraco and Muraco turned around right into a scissor kick to the face. Muraco crashed to the mat as Irwin dropped to his knees. Both men hurting. Irwin managed to make his way over and cover Muraco. 1...2...2-1/2... Muraco managed to kick out. Irwin slammed the mat in frustration with his fist. Irwin to his feet as Muraco was getting up. Irwin nailed Muraco with kick to the gut, Muraco stumbled back against the ropes. Irwin moved in and went to whip Muraco into the ropes but Muraco reversed and caught Irwin coming off with a scoop powerslam. Irwin flatlined. Muraco got to his feet and pulled Irwin up and hoisted Irwin up in the inverted position. Muraco blasted Irwin with the White Trash Compactor (inverted piledriver). Muraco folded Irwin's hands across his chest and went for the pin. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. A grueling battle had come to an end. Muraco got to his feet and had his hand raised in victory.

 

Muraco left the ring and went over and took the mic:

 

DM: "That's Muraco one! White trash...zero!"

 

Muraco tossed the mic down and headed back up the aisle as the crowd booed while the ref was checking on Irwin in the ring.

 

WINNER: Muraco - Pinfall - Inverted Piledriver - 10:58)

 

(Schiavone and Madden discussed the wild battle between Muraco and Irwin. Hyped still to come: Tommy Rich vs. Nord the Barbarian. Said the debut of 'American Gigolo' was coming up next!!!)

 

(Commercials)

 

(Backstage: Scott Hudson interviewed Tommy Rich.

 

SH: "Welcome back to WCW 'Mayhem'. I'm Scott Hudson. With me at this time is Tommy 'Wildfire' Rich."

 

TR: "It's great to be here in World Class, Scott. Great to be in Dayton, Ohio as well. Have a lot of great memories of this place...both in the ring and out."

 

SH: "I bet you do, Tommy. But let's get to your match tonight. You're facing the brawling, menacing Nord The Barbarian. What's your mindset going into this match?"

 

TR: "I know it's going to be more of a fight than a wrestling match. I've been looking at video of Nord in recent days. He's all about the power moves. I know this guy will get his licks in on me. The big key will be me getting my fair share of shots in on him. This is a guy that can't be defeated by just hitting him with a move or two. You just have to continue hammering away on a guy like Nord and weaken the big fella to have a chance. And that's what I intend to do."

 

SH: "What do you hope to accomplish here in World Class?"

 

TR: "I'm ultimately looking to be in the running for the WCW World Title once it's established. That's what you get into this sport for. To be the World Champion. I've had a taste of being the World Champion once before and I liked the taste. I want to be the World Champion once again."

 

SH: "Tommy Rich, ladies and gentlemen. Tony and Mark, back to you.")

 

Match 2

'American Gigolo' Buff Bagwell vs. J.T. Southern

 

(Southern was already in the ring.

 

'Call Me' by Blondie played over the p.a. system and out came Bagwell to a fair amount of boos. Bagwell had two attractive women with him. Bagwell was wearing a black sweat suit with the jacket unzipped revealing his bare chest. The two ladies got on the ring apron and sat down on the middle rope and held the ropes open for Bagwell to step through. Bagwell stood in the corner and one lady removed his sweat jacket and handed it down to the ring attendant. On the back of the jacket were the words 'Time Is Money' in green lettering. The two ladies then knelt down, one on each side of Bagwell and pulled his sweat pants off. Bagwell was wearing black leg-length tights and black wrestling boots. He had three gold dollar signs on the back of his tights. Bagwell then kissed each lady on the lips before they left the ring.

 

Total squash. Bagwell dominated from the opening bell. At one point, he'd beaten down Southern so much, that he walked over to the side of the ring where his ladies were, placed his hands behind his head and swiveled his hips laciviously as the ladies oooh'ed and ahhh'ed.

 

Bagwell finally put Southern out of his misery by finishing him off with the Buff Blockbuster (diving neckbreaker) and scoring the 1...2...3.

 

WINNER: Bagwell - Pinfall - Buff Blockbuster - 2:44)

 

(In-ring interview: Ring Announcer Craig Johnson interviewed Bagwell. The women with Bagwell got in the ring and kissed Bagwell on the cheek and were rubbing his upper torso.

 

CJ: "'American Gigolo' Buff Bagwell, I must say that was an impressive debut victory here on 'Mayhem'."

 

BB: "Indeed it was, baby! That's because Buff is the stuff! Isn't that right, ladies?!"

 

More purring from the ladies.

 

CJ: "Buff, people know all about your other..."

 

BB: "Hold it right there, man! Did you see that long hair on my opponent? That guy looks like he just escaped from a .38 Special concert circa 1986 and ran into 2015! Get a haircut, bro!"

 

CJ: "Buff, you are an outstanding pro wrestler who has the talent to go a long way here in World Class. Why continue with your other job as a gigolo as well?"

 

BB: "Craig, it's all about the money! I've got two great paying jobs now! Why would I give up my job gigoloing and lose that pay! I've got a lifestyle to maintain! I'm a top dollar product! I don't think any of these Dayton heifers could afford me! And when I get to the top here in World Class, I'm going to be living even bigger than I already am! And as you can see, the perks from my other job are pretty fantastic!"

 

Bagwell kissed both women.

 

BB: "I'd like to continue the interview, Craig! But these two ladies are still on the clock! And time is money! Hahaha!"

 

The women and Bagwell then left the ring together and made their way back up the aisle as Bagwell had his arms around both women.)

 

(Schiavone and Madden discussed the impressive in-ring debut of Buff Bagwell on 'Mayhem'. Then sent it backstage.)

 

(Backstage: Scott Hudson interviewed Nord The Barbarian.

 

SH: "Would you please welcome my guest at this time...WHOA!"

 

Hudson dropped the mic and bolted the scene as Nord came stomping into the interview area and was wildly swinging a big chain around.

 

Nord: "Oooof! Oooof! Ooof!"

 

Nord picked the mic up off the floor.

 

Nord: "Tooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyy Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich! Prepare to feel the wrath of the Barbarian! Like my Berzerker ancestors, I will show you no mercy! I will give no ground! You will feel one thing tonight...pain! A lot of terrible pain! I'm not like other men! I take no prisoners! I believe in a scorched earth policy! You are my enemy, Rich! And I believe in destroying my enemies! Rich, when you signed that contract to face me tonight...you signed up for your destruction!"

 

Nord tossed the mic and stomped out of the interview area.)

 

(Schiavone and Madden discussed the wild Nord interview. Hyped still to come: Tommy Rich vs. Nord The Barbarian. Said Larry Zbysko was here next.)

 

(Commercials)

 

 

(In-ring: 'I'm The Man' by Anthrax played and out came Larry Zbysko to strong boos. He was in his street clothes and had a mic. As Zbysko came to the ring, video aired from his match with Ric Flair last week. Zbysko climbed into the ring and soaked in the boos for a moment.

 

LZ: "Last week, things didn't turn out quite the way I thought they would. Yes, I did lose to Ric Flair. But I want everyone here to know one thing. This isn't over. Not by any means. Ric Flair and I will meet again and when we do, I can guarantee you the result will be different! I will lock Flair in my guillotine choke finisher, which I call the Larry Land Dreamer, and Flair will not escape! I'm walking out the victor! Pure and simple! This situation between Flair and the Living Legend is just getting started!

 

"But I'm still pissed over the loss! And I'm throwing out an open challenge for next week! I'll face any wrestler in the back! Just come to this ring right now and tell me to my face that you want the match! Whoever you are, you're gonna be the man who I take all my frustrations out on! So who's game, huh?! Who's got the guts to go mano-y-mano with me next week?!"

 

After a few seconds of waiting, Steve O, in his ring gear, came to the ring with mic in hand. He got a modest ovation coming out. O slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. O stepped into the ring.

 

Announcers pointed out that O gave Kamala a battle before losing last week.

 

O: "Larry, I accept your challenge to face you next week here on 'Mayhem'."

 

LZ: "You? Steve O? Ha! Don't you have go and get turned over in a filthy port-a-potty or something on 'Jackass'?"

 

O (chuckles): "Sorry. Not that Steve O."

 

LZ: "You wanna wrestle a legend?"

 

O: "Yes, sir."

 

LZ: "I saw you fight Kamala last week. And I have to say I was impressed by your showing against him even though you lost."

 

O: "Thank you, Larry. I take that as a compliment..."

 

LZ: "Shut up! You need to realize that you're not stepping into the ring with some wildman from the African jungle! You're gonna be wrestling a man who can actually, you know, wrestle! Have you thought this through, Steve?! Because I intend to school you like you've never been schooled before in this business! They call me the Living Legend for a reason, son! It's because I'm one of the best!"

 

O: "As I understand it, you're the only one who calls you the Living Legend."

 

Crowd cheered and Zbysko wasn't happy.

 

LZ: "Let me tell you something, you ingrate! I earned the title Living Legend! My record in this business is legendary! What have you done to show you're worthy of a title like mine, hmmm?! The only title that suits you is Living Loser! And that's because you're gonna lose to me next week! That's if you have the balls to even show up!"

 

O: "I'll be there, Larry. And so will my balls."

 

LZ: "That's great! Because I don't like your tone! Now you're really in for the most humiliating beatdown of your entire career! A career, I might add, that has not amounted to much!"

 

O: "I'm full of suprises."

 

LZ: "The only suprise next week will be if you last more than a few seconds in my Larry Land Dreamer before begging for mercy! See you next Tuesday, 'Jackass' boy!"

 

Zbysko walked past O and intentionally bumped into O. The two stared at each other briefly before Zbysko chuckled and then left the ring to boos as the segment ended.)

 

(Schiavone and Madden discussed the Zbysko-O situation. Said Tommy Rich vs. Nord The Barbarian was next!)

 

(Commercials)

 

(Announcers hyped for next week: Steve O vs. Larry Zbysko; and the WCW debut of Tito Santana.)

 

Match 3

Tommy Rich vs. Nord The Barbarian

 

('Deaf Forever' by Motorhead played over the p.a. system and Nord The Barbarian came out. Nord stomped around on the entrance stage while holding a big steel chain high in the air. Nord stomped to the ring to a fair amount of crowd boos. Nord got in the ring and continued to stomp around and hold the chain in the air. Nord then stopped mid-ring and started waving the chain in the air. Nord was wearing black tights with the word 'Berzerker' in white written in a lighting-like letter style. He was also wearing fur-lined wrestling boots.

 

'Rocky Top' then played and the fans cheered for Tommy Rich. Rich came to the ring wearing a black t-shirt with the word 'Wildfire' in red letters with flames rising up from the letters. Rich was also wearing black tights with a flame trim around the lower half of the tights and black boots with flames going up the outside of each boot. Rich slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. Rich climbed up on the ring apron and briefly acknowledged the crowd. As Rich stepped through the ropes, Nord swung his chain in Rich's direction and barely missed connecting with Rich.

 

Ref ordered Nord to lose the chain. Nord gestured like he might bash the ref with the chain. Ref and Nord had words. Nord draped the chain over the top ring bolt that connects the ring post to the turnbuckle.

 

Ref called for the bell to start the match. The two men came out and Rich hit the ropes and hit Nord with a shoulder tackle that barely moved Nord. Rich hit the ropes again and repeated the move with the same result. Rich tried the move one more time but this time was greeted with a big boot to the chest from Nord. Rich crashed to the mat. As Rich made his way to his feet, Nord moved in and pounded Rich with a couple of deliberate clubbing forearms to the upper back. Rich down to a knee. Nord grabbed Rich and whipped Rich into the ropes and looked to catch Rich coming off with a clothesline but Rich ducked the move and came back and stunned Nord with the Thesz Press. Nord crashed to the mat with Rich on top of him. Rich fired away with a series of punches against Nord's skull. Rich got up and and popped Nord with a fist drop to the head. Rich then hit the ropes and came off looking to nail Nord with a flying elbow smash but Nord moved and Rich crashed to the mat. Both men slowly made it to their feet.

Nord ended the illegal move at the ref's count of 4. Nord and the ref had words again. Nord put the boots to Rich, dragged Rich over by the ropes, draped Rich's head and arms over the middle rope and started strangling Rich on the middle rope. Nord broke the illegal move at the count of 4. Nord repeated the move and once again broke it at 4. Nord then backed up and charged at Rich and jumped on Rich's back. Nord backed up again and repeated the move. Nord then went for the move a third time and Rich moved out of the way and Nord went through the ropes and landed on his feet on the floor. Rich got to his feet and as Nord started climbing back into the ring through the top and middle rope.

Rich crumbled to the floor. Ref's count rising. Nord put the boots to the downed Rich and then went over to the timekeeper's table and grabbed the ringbell hammer. As Nord turned to go back to Rich, ring announcer Craig Johnson grabbed the hammer out of Nord's hand. Nord glared at Johnson as Johnson backed off. Rich unsteadily made his way to his feet and Nord blasted Rich with a running clothesline that dropped Rich again. Ref called for the bell as the count hit 20.

 

Nord snapped up Rich and whipped Rich into the ringside barricade. Nord charged at Rich and looked to blast Rich with another clothesline but Rich instead backdropped Nord over the barricade into the ringside seating area. Ref again called for the bell. Rich climbed over the barricade as Nord got to his feet and Rich blasted Nord with some punches. Crowd eating it up. Nord staggering back. Rich moved in to continue the assault but Nord got a gut kick in that killed Rich's O. Rich stopped dead in his tracks and holding his stomach.

Match 1

Ric Flair vs. Steven Dane

 

(Dane was already in the ring and introduced to the crowd.

 

Theme from '2001: A Space Odyssey' played over the p.a. system and the crowd popped as Ric Flair came out on the entrance stage. Flair made his way to the ring in his famous green robe. Flair got in the ring and disrobed. He was wearing his pink tights and boots.

(In-ring Interview: After the match, ring announcer Craig Johnson interviewed Ric Flair.

 

CJ: "Ric Flair. Another impressive performance here in World Class Wrestling."

 

RF: "Whoo! Craig Johnson! The 'Nature Boy' is stylin' and profilin' in St. Louis, Missouri! Whoo!"

 

Fans cheered and whooed.

 

CJ: "Ric, Larry Zbysko was out here last week. He said that the next time you two meet that he will be the winner and he's going to force you to tap out to the Larry Land Dreamer (guillotine choke). Zbysko is wrestling tonight against Steve O and he has stated that he's going to humiliate Steve and give him the beatdown of his career."

 

RF: "Larry Zbysko is a man with a lot of talent! Unfortunately for him, his biggest talent is running that big mouth of his! And I'll say this right now! Larry, I'm gonna be in the back watching your match with Steve O on one of the monitors! If you beat him fairly then you beat him! But if you look to take liberties with Steve O during the match...then you're gonna have some real problems with me, pal!"

 

Crowd cheered.

 

RF: "I know that Zbysko and the 'Nature Boy' will one day step into the squared circle with each other again! And it will be a battle just like it was two weeks ago here on 'Mayhem'! But he's gotta face..."

 

Crowd booed as Zbysko, in his ring attire and carrying a mic, came out on the entrance stage.

 

LZ: "Flair! Why don't you just shut it for a minute, pal! Whoo! The Living Legend is here to tell you personally that the next time we step in the ring against each other not only is the result gonna be different! But I'm gonna show you tonight when I face Steve O what I'm going to do to you when we wrestle again! Steve's in for a major league thrashing tonight! I'm not just gonna beat him! I'm gonna humiliate him!"

 

RF: "You heard what I just said a minute ago! I'm gonna be watching this match backstage! You cross the line, Zbysko, and you'll have me to deal with, pal!"

 

Crowd cheered.

 

LZ: "Blah! Blah! Blah! Feel free to watch the match if you wish! I'm not gonna have to cheat to beat an upstart punk like Steve O! I can take that guy with my prime ring skills! And you had better think twice about getting involved, Flair! Because you'd be messing with the Living Legend! And the Living Legend doesn't suffer fools lightly!"

 

RF: "Get your ass down here right now!"

 

LZ: "You want me to come down there right now?!"

 

RF: "Right now!"

 

Zbysko started power-walking down the aisle. Zbysko walked onto the mat that surrounds the ring. Flair went over and held the ropes open for Zbysko to step in the ring.

 

LZ: "Nah! I've got a match later tonight, man! I'm not gonna wear myself out making a fool out of you right now! I'll save that for the next time we wrestle!"

 

Flair glared at Zbysko from the ring as Zbysko slowly backed up the aisle.

 

LZ: "Buh-bye, Ric! Whoo!"

 

Zbysko turned and headed up the aisle as Flair continued to stare daggers at LZ.)

 

(Schiavone and Madden discussed the confrontation between Flair and Zbysko and said that situation was heating up.)

 

(Commercials)

 

(Backstage: Scott Hudson interviewed Dynamite Kid.

 

SH: "Hi everybody. Scott Hudson here. Please welcome my guest at this time, the Dynamite Kid."

 

Kid walked into the interview area in his ring attire.

 

DK: "Hello, Scott. Fans."

 

The two shake hands.

 

SH: "Dynamite, you scored an impressive victory over Bob Orton on the debut edition of 'Mayhem' two weeks ago. Tonight, you're facing the controversial Don Muraco. He's said some things about a segment of society that he calls 'white trash' that weren't very, shall we say, nice. What are you thinking heading into this match?"

 

DK: "You can't knock Muraco's ability. He's a tough customer in that ring. But his remarks last week, I think, were totally uncalled for. I come from hardscrabble, working class beginnings myself. Sometimes my folks struggled to make ends meet even though they worked very hard. We didn't have much. I don't like Muraco's attitude towards working people. And I take it personally. Maybe Muraco is just trying to play some sort of mind games with his opponents. I don't know. But if he keeps it up, he's gonna get a hard lesson in respecting others. And because of how I was trained, that lesson may be coming soon. Muraco, you may be forced to eat your words about what you call 'white trash' tonight."

 

SH: "Thank you, Dynamite. Tony and Mark, back to you.")

 

Match 2

Tito Santana vs. Dennis Stamp

 

(Stamp was already in the ring and introduced to the crowd.

 

Mariachi music filled the arena and Tito Santana came out to a decent ovation.

(In-ring interview: Craig Johnson interviewed Tito Santana.

 

CJ: "Tito Santana. It's great to welcome you to World Class Wrestling."

 

TS: "It's great to be here, Craig. I'm excited to be a part of World Class. There's a lot of great talent already here and more will be coming in in the weeks and months ahead because World Class is the place to be in wrestling."

 

CJ: "You've had a lot of success in our sport, Tito. You've held several major titles. But one title has always eluded you."

 

TS: "That's right. One of my main goals here is to become the World Heavyweight Champion. I can only ask for the chance to compete for the gold. And World Class is the land of opportunity in pro wrestling today. ARIBA!"

 

CJ: "Tito Santana, ladies and gentlemen!")

 

(Schiavone and Madden discussed the debut of Tito Santana. Hyped still to come: Larry Zbysko vs. Steve O; and Dynamite Kid vs. Don Muraco. Said a major announcement was coming up! Then sent it backstage.)

 

(Backstage: Scott Hudson interviewed Don Muraco.

 

SH: "Would you welcome my guest at this time..."

 

Muraco, in his ring attire, walked into the interview area waving a small British Union Jack flag and wearing a derby hat with holes in it.

 

DM: "G'day, mate!"

 

SH: "Uh, that's an Australian term."

 

DM: "Who cares? Australian. English. White trash is white trash no matter where they're from."

 

SH: "Don Muraco. You have said some rather unsavory things about white people, calling them white trash and mocking them. Tonight, you're facing a guy in the Dynamite Kid who might make you eat your words."

 

DM: "I heard Dynamite out here earlier saying that he grew up poor. What a shock! The Dynamite Kid is another shining example of the white trash set just like that doofus I beat last week, Bill Irwin. I guess you could say I'm the official white trash garbageman of WCW. It seems like it's my duty to take out the white trash and leave it in a big, stinking pile. When this match is over, I'll take out Dynamite and pile him on top of Bill Irwin in Muraco's white trash landfill. He might make me eat my words? Ha! That's better than eating out of dumpsters behind fast food restaurants like the Dynamite Kid and the other white trash does."

 

SH: "Is this whole white trash schtick just a psychological ploy to get your opponent riled up before they step in the ring with you?"

 

DM: "Schtick? White trash exists everywhere. I call them white trash not because I'm trying to play some mind game or to get them worked up before our match. I call them white trash because that's what they are. I tell it like it is. And a lot of these fans in the audience and watching on TV tonight...they're white trash, too. Hudson, I'm fighting the good fight here. My goal is a white trash-free world. The people should be thanking me for undertaking this noble crusade. Imagine a world without trailer parks! Cheerio!"

 

Muraco waved his flag and then started to walk out of the interview area as Hudson just shook his head.)

(Back from commerical, video highlights aired from last week of the wild brawl between Tommy Rich and Nord The Barbarian.)

 

(Ringside Interview: Craig Johnson interviewed WCW exec Rob Russen.

 

CJ: "I am standing with World Class Wrestling executive Rob Russen. Rob, you have some major news to tell us regarding Tommy Rich and Nord The Barbarian."

 

RR: "Yes I do, Craig. As the fans saw last week, Tommy Rich and Nord The Barbarian engaged in a brawl that continued after the show went off the air. We of the WCW executive committee have decided that since nothing was decided in that match that next week, here on 'Mayhem', Tommy Rich and Nord The Barbarian will meet in a re-match. And it will be a no disqualification/no count out match!"

 

Crowd cheered the news.

 

CJ: "Wow! That is huge news! Since it's no disqualification/no count out, it promises to be a wild affair between those two ring warriors! And it's gonna happen on 'Mayhem' next week!")

(Backstage: Scott Hudson interviewed Tommy Rich.

 

SH: "Thank you, Tony and Mark. Scott Hudson here. What a great opening match we just witnessed here on 'Mayhem' between Bob Orton and Bill Irwin. And we've got a great main event coming your way later tonight as Nord The Barbarian battles this man, Tommy 'Wildfire' Rich, in a no disqualification/no count out match."

 

Rich entered the interview area in his ring attire and he was fired up.

 

TR: "Scott Hudson! I don't think I've ever been as fired up for a match as I am tonight! Two weeks ago, nothing was settled between Nord and myself! And it was a brutal fight! It wasn't a wrestling match! It was a fight! Now, with all the rules thrown out the window, things are gonna escalate even more between us! Nord may know some wrestling moves! But he is a brawler, pure and simple! A man like him only understands one language! And that's the language of violence! This match is gonna be violence for the sake of violence and even the winner of this match will come out of it as battered and beaten as the loser! I harbor no illusions, brother! When this match is over with, I'm gonna be hurtin'! It's gonna be a rough next few nights trying to get some sleep! But it's gonna be that way for Nord as well! When anything goes there's gonna be hell to pay! You'd never see a match like this in the WWE today! They'd be too worried that it could get too out of control! It wouldn't be family-friendly entertainment! Well let me tell y'all this! Pro wrestling isn't always gonna be family entertainment! This is a sport! And sometimes it's an excessively violent sport! It's also often a blood sport! This ain't ballet! We're pro wrestlers! We're fighters! And that's what the fans are gonna see between me and Nord tonight! A fight to a brutal, bloody finish!"

 

Rich then walked out of the interview area.

 

SH: "Fans! Nothing more needs to be said! Tommy Rich just said it all!")

 

(Commercials)

 

(Schiavone and Madden intro'd video from last week's Zbysko vs. Steve O match and the post-match confrontation between Flair and Zbysko and post-match comments from both men.)

 

(Video highlights of the Zbysko-O match aired and showed Zbysko wrestling a completely clean match as Flair watched on a monitor backstage. Zbysko won with the Larry Land Dreamer (guillotine choke) and let go of the hold as soon as O tapped out. After the match, Zbysko started to leave the ring but did a u-turn and came back and placed O in the Larry Land Dreamer again and O furiously tried to escape as he was losing oxygen. Flair bolted the backstage area and hit the ring just as Zbysko let go of the hold and got to his feet. After a brief standoff in which it appeared the two men were going to fight each other, Zbysko left the ring and dropped to the floor and walked off as a pissed Flair looked on from the ring.

 

Post-match comments:

 

LZ: (Standing in his locker room and still in his ring gear and holding a mic.)

 

"What the people saw out there tonight was me backing up what I said. I said that I was gonna beat Steve O in a clean match and that's what I did. And I was able to do it for one reason. It's because I'm Larry Zbysko...the Living Legend. You become a legend in this sport by backing up your talk with your actions. Everyone saw it. I took no shortcuts in the match. I delivered on my promise. As for what I did after the match, well, I wanted to work on my finisher, the Larry Land Dreamer. I'm always looking to make the hold more effective and more punishing on my opponents. Ric Flair had no right to come out there and interrupt my post-match practicing! He said he was gonna be watching the match to make sure I didn't do anything dirty and I didn't! That should have been the end of it right there! But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Flair had to come out and stick his big nose where it did not belong! Let me tell you something, Ric! This was not the time nor the place for you and me to have a showdown! That's why I took the high road and walked away! But the next time you try and meddle in my business, mark my words, I'm not gonna walk away! And you will pay dearly for messing with the Living Legend!"

 

Picture flipped and Flair was standing in his locker room and still in his ring gear and holding a mic.

 

RF: "Zbysko! Brother, you did just what you said you were gonna do in your match against Steve O! You wrestled without resorting to cheating! But when the match was over, I knew you couldn't help but revert to being the real Larry Zbysko once again when you took liberties with O and tried to choke him out! You also showed your true nature when, instead of standing toe-to-toe and fighting me like a man in the ring, you walked off! Basically, you ran away when it was time to put your money where that extremely big mouth of yours is! The people know that I am the self-proclaimed dirtiest player in the game! And when I wrestle you again, I'm gonna let you set the tone of the match, pal! We'll fight by your rules! You may be dirty, Zbysko! But you will never, ever be able to top the master of dirty in the ring! You just remember that! Anything you can do dirty, I can do it even dirtier! You name the time and the place, Larry! I don't care if it's in a junkyard! Let's rock one more time!")

 

Match 2

Kamala (w/ Mgr. Adnan El-Kaissey & Handler Kimchee) vs. Reno Riggins

 

(Riggins was already in the ring and announced.

 

'Cry of the Vatos' by Oingo Boingo played and out came Kamala, Kaissey and Kimchee. Kamala was in his faux loin cloth, had painted symbols on his body, and was wearing his African tribal mask. El-Kaissey was wearing the typical Arab male headdress and an expensive suit. Kimchee was in his safari gear, pith helmet and wearing a white wrestling mask with brown trim over his face. Kimchee was also carrying a riding crop.

 

Kamala got in the ring and started moving around and slapping his belly. Kimchee calmed Kamala down and removed the tribal mask revealing a painted face. Kaissey and Kimchee had words for Kamala and then left the ring and went to the floor.

 

Ref called for the bell.

 

Complete demolition as Kamala destroyed Riggins and finished Riggins off with his diving splash finisher to score the victory. Kamala slapped his belly a couple of times during the match. No Kamala match would be complete without the belly slap.

 

After the match: Kamala was still laying across Riggins as Kimchee and Kaissey got into the ring. Kimchee gestured for Kamala to get off of Riggins but Kamala wouldn't move at first. After a few seconds, Kamala started to get off of Riggins, but then Kamala stunned everyone by reaching down and biting the defeated Riggins's forehead. Riggins in serious pain. Kimchee and Kaissey both gestured for Kamala to get up but he wouldn't listen and kept biting Riggins. Kimchee then popped Kamala across the back with the riding crop but Kamala kept biting away. Kimchee struck Kamala across the back again. Kamala stopped biting Riggins and got to his knees and looked at Kimchee and then Kaissey. Kimchee gestured for Kamala to stand up and Kamala did.

 

WINNER: Kamala - Pinfall - Diving Splash - 2:26)

 

(In-ring interview: Craig Johnson carefully climbed into the ring to interview Kaissey with Kamala and Kimchee.

 

CJ: "have to admit that I'm really nervous about doing this interview."

 

Kamala started to move towards Johnson but Kimchee intervened and was able to get Kamala to step back.

 

CJ: "Sheik Adnan El-Kaissey. I have to ask you about this. While Kamala did take advantage of his defeated opponent, Kimchee struck him twice with that riding crop. He hit Kamala hard. I could hear the pops at ringside of the crop hitting his flesh. Isn't that a little cruel in this day and age?"

 

AK: "Craig Johnson! Kamala is like a wild animal from the jungles of Africa! If Kimchee did not hit him with his riding crop, then Reno Riggins would be leaving the ring in worse shape than he is now! Sometimes, like with wild animals, Kamala only understands force! We keep him under control for the most part! But every now and then his jungle instincts kick in and we have to resort to something he understands! It's like the lion tamer! The lion's under the lion tamer's care fear him because of the threat of and the occasional use of force! The lions are only scared of the lion tamer! They are not scared of other people! Kimchee and I are Kamala's lion tamers! If we walked out of this ring right now and left Kamala alone, you and everyone in this arena would be in great danger! I paid a lot of money to hire Kimchee because he is the best handler of wild people that money can buy!"

 

CJ: "In an interview with you a few weeks ago, you called Kamala a soldier. What did you mean by that?"

 

Kamala was shifting around in the ring and slapping his belly.

 

AK: "Craig Johnson! You and the rest of these people will know what I mean by calling Kamala a soldier when I decide that you should know! Allah Akbar!"

 

Kamala then walked up to Johnson and was staring at him.

 

CJ: "I am getting really uncomfortable! I am outta here!'

 

Johnson hurriedly left the ring as Kimchee kept Kamala under control in the ring and he and El-Kaissey were able to lead Kamala out of the ring and back up the aisle.)

 

(Schiavone and Madden discussed the Kamala win. Hyped still to come: No DQ/No Count Out: Tommy Rich vs. Nord The Barbarian.)

 

(Backstage: Scott Hudson interviewed Nord The Barbarian.

 

SH: "Everybody, my guest at this time is..."

 

Nord came stomping into the interview area holding his big chain in the air. Hudson backed off.

 

SH: "Nord The Barbarian! A word if I may! Tonight, it's you vs. Tommy Rich in a no disqualification/no count out ma..."

 

Nord: "It will be a night when brutality reigns, Hudson! Ooooof! Ooooof! Ooooof! Tommy Rich! You messed with the wrong guy when you messed with Nord! I am descended from berzerkers! And in a match with no rules, I intend to go berzerk! The only objective here is winning by any means necessary! I will do whatever I have to do to put you down for the count! When I finish Tommy Rich, they're gonna have to scrape him off the mat! I'll batter the blonde pretty boy into submission! Ooooof! Ooooof! Ooooof! Halloween's coming early for Tommy Rich because I'm gonna make him wear a mask! A crimson mask! This kind of match was made for me! Survival of the fittest! We vikings like to fight for the sake of fighting! We're a warrior people! And this is war! And in war the strongest prevail! I am the strong man! I thrive on violence and bloodshed! When Tommy Rich signed that contract to face me tonight, he may have signed the death warrant for his career! Ooooof! Ooooof! Ooooof!"

 

Nord stomped out of the area as Hudson looked on.)

 

(Announcers talked about Nord's harsh words for Tommy Rich heading into the main event. Said a day in the life of Buff Bagwell was next.)

 

(Commercials)

 

(Announcers intro'd the video for a day in the life of Buff Bagwell.

 

VIDEO: WCW announcer Craig Johnson was standing on the sidewalk outside of an expensive home.

 

CJ: "Hi everybody. Craig Johnson reporting for World Class Wrestling on location in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are outside the home of 'American Gigolo' Buff Bagwell and we are here for an exclusive interview."

 

Johnson and the cameraman walked up to the front door and Johnson knocked. After a few seconds, Bagwell opened the door. He was in a white sweatsuit with black trim, black tennis shoes and had a couple of expensive looking gold chains hanging around his neck. The sweat jacket was unzipped revealing a bare chest.

 

BB: "Hey, guys! Come on in!"

 

Video next showed Johnson and Bagwell standing in Buff's personal gym.

 

CJ: "We're now here in the personal gym of Buff Bagwell. Buff, I must say this is truly a state-of-the-art training facility."

 

BB: "It is, Craig. And being a gigolo made this all possible. Thanks, ladies! Haha! But, when I take World Class Wrestling by storm and even more money comes pouring into my bank account, it's gonna be even better than it is now. When I reach the pinnacle of wrestling success, this house will just be a place I keep on the side. Because, like the Jeffersons, I'm gonna be movin' on up to even bigger and better digs."

 

CJ: "You workout everyday?"

 

BB: "Six days a week. Get up. Have breakfast. And then hit the gym here. You don't get one of the finest male bodies in the world by, well, being a dorky announcer like you, man. I'd invite you over for a workout one day. But I've got a reputation to uphold and can't be seen with someone like you socially."

 

CJ: "Thank you for those kind, uplifting words, Buff."

 

BB: "No problem. I could have called you flabby lard ass."

 

Buff's cell phone rings.

 

CJ: "I gotta take this call. Might be a client. And that means money, money, money."

 

Bagwell answered the phone.

 

BB: "Hello."

 

Bagwell walked out of the picture.

 

CJ: "Mind if we take a look around?"

 

BB (off-camera): "Go ahead. But I count my silverware after someone's been in my house."

 

Johnson rolled his eyes.

 

CJ: "Let's take a look at some of Buff's home."

 

Johnson and the cameraman walked around downstairs. The thing that stuck out were there were pictures, including paintings of Bagwell, everywhere.

 

CJ: "It's obvious who Buff Bagwell's favorite person is. I mean, anyone who has a painting done of himself where he's standing with the signers of the Declaration of Independence while dressed in his wrestling attire is a man who thinks quite highly of himself.

 

"Hey, what's that out by the pool?"

 

Johnson and the cameraman walked over by the sliding glass door.

 

CJ: "What the..."

 

It was a larger-than-life statue of Bagwell in the nude and urinating into a fountain. Johnson put his hand up to cover up the offending organ.

 

CJ: "I think we're gonna have to digitize one part of this for TV. Jeez!"

 

BB (off-camera): "Hey, guys! Come back in here!"

 

Johnson and the cameraman walked back into the gym.

 

BB: "Just got a call from a new client who wants my services. Why don't you ride out to her place with me?"

 

CJ: "Sure. Alright."

 

BB: "Blutarski! Get the car ready to roll!"

 

Video cuts to the crew on the road in Bagwell's expensive SUV. Blutarski is driving and the cameraman is sitting in the passenger seat with the camera pointed at Johnson and Bagwell who are in the back seat.

 

CJ: "Buff, working as a gigolo, do you have any, uh..."

 

BB: "Standards?"

 

CJ: "We'll run with that. Standards."

 

BB: "I do. Being the hottest male gigolo in Sin City gives me the luxury of picking and choosing who I'll get physical with."

 

CJ: "What do you mean exactly?"

 

BB: "If I show up to see a new client, and she's brutally ugly or has more rolls than a French bakery or when she removes her bra it looks like she has four arms, lovin' time with Buff is not gonna happen. They can't touch me. Well, depending on my mood, if they whine and cry so much, just to shut 'em up, I might let them touch me below the ankle."

 

CJ: "What do you do then?"

 

BB: "Well, I try to make a deal with them. I'm high quality, high priced merchandise, man. But I'll give the fuglies and fatties a discounted deal. I'll offer to clean a room for them in the nude while they watch or something. But I don't do heavy lifting or bathrooms. I like to run the vacuum because then I don't have to listen to the mouth-breathing of the uglies or hear the revolting farts of the fatties. I might make them lunch while naked. But I'll only make something quick. Something I can throw in the microwave or a sandwich or something like that. If they aren't into that, then I might slide down their banister in the raw and leave a skid mark or whatever."

 

CJ: "Leave a little of Buff behind?"

 

BB: "Actually, leave a little of Buff's behind. Haha! Get it?! Haha!"

 

CJ: "Buff, let's change the subject a little. You're looking to have a very lucrative run in World Class. Do you think at some point you'll give up being a gigolo?"

 

BB: "I have no intention of giving up this job. It pays too well. As long as I'm God's gift to women, then I'll keep doing this while wrestling. I like to work. And you can't beat having two high paying jobs. Man, my lifestyle's good right now. But it's gonna explode once Buff is the stuff in World Class!"

 

CJ: "Looks like we're here, Buff."

 

BB: "She wanted an hour. That actually translates to 15 minutes to a half-hour in gigolo time. Say, after I finish servicing this broad, why don't we do lunch?"

 

CJ: "Where will we go?"

 

Buff stepped out of the car.

 

BB: "I treat people first class, Craig. Del Taco it is! And it's all on Buff!"

 

Bagwell shut the door and started walking up the driveway.

 

CJ: "This has been a World Class exclusive. Craig Johnson reporting. Can't wait for the high end feast at Del Taco."

 

Picture faded to black.)

 

(Announcers discussed the Bagwell interview. Said the No DQ/No Count Out match was next!)

 

(Commercials)

 

Match 3 (No DQ/No Count Out)

Nord The Barbarian vs. Tommy Rich

 

(Announcers said they would stay with the match to its conclusion. They also pointed out that the ref's only job in this match was to count pinfalls and/or call submissions and that the pin or sub must take place in the ring.

 

'Rocky Top' filled the arena and out came Tommy Rich to a solid ovation. Rich came to the ring wearing a black t-shirt with the word 'Wildfire' in red letters with flames rising up from the letters on the front. Rich was also wearing black tights with a flame trim around the lower half of the tights and black boots with flames going up the outside of each boot. Rich power-walked to the ring and was not acknowledging the fans as he was zoned in on the match.

 

'Deaf Forever' by Motorhead played and out came Nord the Barbarian to pretty strong boos. Nord was wearing black tights with the word 'Berzerker' in white written in a lighting-like letter style. He was also wearing fur-lined wrestling boots. Nord stomped around briefly on the entrance stage and was carrying his big steel chain at his side. Nord started down the aisle and stopped and held his chain up in the air and started going 'Ooooof! Ooooof! Ooooof!' and looking at the crowd.

 

Rich bolted the ring and jumped on Nord and started popping Nord with head shots. Nord dropped the chain and was staggered. Bell rang to start the match.

 

Rich took off his t-shirt and started strangling Nord with it. Nord struggled forward to ringside. Rich released the choke and then shoved Nord front-first into the the ringpost. Nord slammed shoulder first into the post and walked away holding his shoulder. Rich stayed back. Just as Nord turned back towards Rich, Rich ran and jumped on the ring steps and jumped off and stunned Nord with a Thesz Press to the floor. Fans went crazy. Rich laid into Nord with more head punches. Rich snapped up Nord and slammed Nord's head twice into the top of the ringside barricade. Nord on wobbly leg street. Rich grabbed Nord and threw him into the ring. Rich went over and mounted the top buckle as Nord got to his feet. Rich came off with a double sledge attempt to Nord's head but Nord caught Rich with a boot to the face out of nowhere. Rich stumbled back and crashed to the mat. Nord came over and put the boots to Rich and then stepped on the side of Rich's face. Announcers pointed out there was nothing the ref could do about it. Rich still down as Nord hit Rich with a standing leg drop. Nord didn't even think about a cover. Nord pulled Rich up and locked Rich in a front facelock and pounded Rich with a series of big, clubbing forearms to the upper back. Rich went down to his hands and knees. Nord backed up and charged at Rich and plowed into Rich with a punt to the side of the head. Rich turned over on his back and rolled out on the apron while holding his head. Nord then used his foot to push Rich off the apron. Rich crashed to the floor. Nord followed Rich out. Nord picked up Rich and hoisted Rich in the air and dropped Rich throat-first across the top of the ringside barricade. Rich back down again. Nord then pulled Rich up and whipped Rich into the ring steps. Rich crashed into the ring steps and toppled to the floor. Nord then reached down under the ring and brandished a folding steel chair. An unsteady Rich made his way to his feet, turned around and was greeted with a brutal chair shot to the head. Rich crumpled back to the floor. Nord then held the chair aloft and started 'Ooooof'-ing. Rich was making his way to his feet and was bleeding.

 

Madden: "I don't believe it, Tony! It's 2015 and a wrestler actually bleeds after a chair shot to the head! Will wonders never cease! Take that, Vince!"

 

Nord moved in on Rich with the chair raised in front of his face and was going to blast Rich again but Rich countered by kicking the chair into Nord's face. Nord staggered back and was still holding the chair up when Rich kicked the chair into Nord's face again. Nord dropped the chair and was dazed. Rich moved in with some punches to the head and then rammed Nord head-first into the ring post. Nord stumbled forward and crashed face down on the floor. Rich went over to the announcers' table and unplugged Schiavone's TV monitor. Crowd buzzing as Nord shakily made his way to his feet. Nord turned around and Rich charged and pulverized Nord with a TV monitor shot to the head. Nord crashed back down to the floor. Rich tossed the monitor aside and let out a gutteral yell and pounded his chest with one fist as the crowd popped. Rich slowly made his way up over to Nord, who was on his hands and knees. Rich pulled Nord up and Nord was now bleeding. Rich walked Nord over to a camera and shoved Nord's bloody face in the camera. Rich then slammed Nord's head into the ring apron and rolled Nord back into the ring. Nord rolled over on his back and Rich hit the ropes and nailed Nord with a running elbow smash. Rich went for the cover. 1...2... Nord kicked out. Rich snapped up Nord and went to suplex Nord but Nord twice blocked the move and countered with a gourd buster. Both men down. Announcers pointed out that the ref couldn't do the count. Both men slowly made their way to their feet and Nord moved in and caught Rich with a gut kick and then caught Rich in a front facelock and pounded Rich with another series of forearm smashes to the back. Rich dropped to all fours. Nord went out on the apron and climbed to the top buckle as Rich got to his feet. Rich was up and bent over when Nord came off with a leg drop bulldog (sliced bread) that drove Rich back down to the mat. Nord then went for the cover. 1...2...2-1/2... Rich barely kicked out. Nord picked up Rich and bodyslammed him. Nord hit the ropes and came off with a flying leg drop but Rich rolled out of the way and Nord crashed to the mat. Both men bleeding good. Both men up. Rich tackled Nord at the knees and hold onto the left leg and locked in the spinning toe hold on Nord. Nord was in the hold a few seconds before kicking Rich off and sending Rich crashing into the buckles.

 

Nord got up and went over and started choking the life out of Rich and then battering Rich with a series of headbutts that drove Rich down to his ass in the corner. Nord left the ring and retrieved the chair he had used earlier as a weapon and got back in the ring. Rich had moved out next to the ropes. Nord climbed back in the ring, held the chair over his head and then chargd at Rich and went to hit Rich over the head with the chair but Rich moved and the chair hit the top rope and bounced back and cracked Nord in the face. Nord was stunned and dropped the chair. Rich grabbed the chair and nailed Nord across the back with a series of chair shots and then reared back and blasted Nord over the head with the chair. Nord crashed down like tall timber. Rich tossed the chair out of the ring and snapped up Nord and nailed Nord with an exploder suplex. Crowd rose to its feet. Both men feeling the effects of the match as Rich was slow in making the cover. 1...2...2-3/4... Nord kicked out. Crowd couldn't believe it. Rich got to his feet as Nord got up. Rich moved in and popped Nord with a couple of punches to the face but Nord then stunned Rich with a a couple of punches of his own. Rich staggered back and Nord nailed Rich with a boot to the face. Rich went down to the mat, rolled out of the ring and crashed to the floor. Nord followed Rich out to the floor. Nord started pulling Rich up by the hair when Rich stunned Nord with a low blow. Nord stumbled and fell over against the ringside barricade. Rich reached under the ring and pulled out a metal ladder. Nord started to back up and Rich nailed Nord in the gut with the top of the ladder twice. Nord backed into the entrance aisle. Rich then reared back and drilled Nord in the head with the top of the ladder. Nord stumbled and fell to the floor. Rich was now holding the ladder sideways and he came over to Nord but Nord, from the ground, kicked the ladder into Rich. Rich dropped the ladder and stumbled back and fell against the barricade. Nord had gone down next to his chain that he'd dropped at the beginning of the match and he was able to wrap part of it around his fist. Nord made it to his feet and was bent over and hiding the chain by his side as Rich made his way back over to Nord. Nord stunned Rich with a chain-laden shot to the gut. Rich stumbled back and was holding his gut as Nord then pummeled Rich in the head with another chain-laden punch. Rich stumbled a few more steps back and then crumpled to the floor at ringside. Nord dropped the chain and grabbed Rich and threw Rich back into the ring. Nord dragged the out of it Rich to the middle of the ring and then ran and hit the ropes and nailed Rich with the flying leg drop. Nord covered Rich and hooked the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell. It was finally over. 'Deaf Forever' filled the arena.

 

Nord was on his knees when the ref raised his hand in victory. Nord got to his feet, wiped some of the blood off his brow and flicked it on the downed and defeated Rich before turning and leaving the ring. Cameras followed a blood-soaked Nord walking back up the aisle. Nord stopped and gave a brief look back at the ring before continuing on his journey as the program went off the air.

 

WINNER: Nord - Pinfall - Flying Leg Drop - 15:15)

(Announcers Tony Schiavone and Mark Madden welcomed viewers and then ran down the program: Ric Flair vs. Bob Orton; Tito Santana vs. Buff Bagwell; Steve O vs. Don Muraco; and more.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers said that last week, Tommy Rich suffered a concussion in his No DQ/No Count Out match against Nord The Barbarian and intro'd the video footage of the match where the injury occured.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Video aired of Nord using part of the big steel chain he carries to the ring with him to hit Rich in the head and Rich stumbling back in the entrance aisle and collapsing in a bloody heap at ringside, which allowed for Nord to dispose of Rich and win the match.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers said they don't have a timeline for Rich's return to the ring. But they did say that, as a precaution, Rich will be held out of action for at least the next few weeks. They then sent it to the ring and ring announcer Craig Johnson.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(In-ring interview: Nord The Barbarian.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Fans! Welcome to tonight's edition of WCW 'Mayhem'! I'm Craig Johnson. Now, would you please welcome my guest at this time. He was the winner of the brutal, bloody no disqualification/no count out match last week against Tommy Rich. He is Nord The Barbarian."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

'Deaf Forever' by Motorhead blared over the p.a. system and Nord stomped out on the entrance stage. He was wearing his fur-lined vest, </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

black tights with the word 'Berzerker' in white written in a lightning-like letter style, and fur-lined wrestling boots. Nord also had his sturdy and large steel chain with him. Nord held the chain high in the air as he came to the ring as the fans booed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord got into the ring and continued stomping around so powerfully that Johnson himself was bouncing up and down. Nord then unfurled part of the steel chain and started whipping it on the mat.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Nord..."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Last week, I told everyone that Tommy Rich may have signed his career death warrant when he signed the contract to meet me in that no rules match! And guess what?! He's now out of pro wrestling! I bloodied Tommy Rich! I battered Tommy Rich! I beat Tommy Rich! And now I've retired Tommy Rich! Ooooof! Ooooof! Ooooof!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Nord, you might be getting a little ahead of yourself. Tommy Rich does have a concussion. And he is going to be out for at least the next few weeks. That doesn't mean his career is over. It just means he's injured and can't wrestle right now."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "What a bunch of crappy spin, Johnson! Everyone saw how hard I hit that blonde pretty boy in the head with my good friend here!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord held up part of the chain level with his chest.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Wait. The chain is your friend?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "The chain is like family! It has a name!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "And that name is?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "The chain's name is Valhalla! Ooooof! Ooooof! Ooooof!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord started stomping and holding up the chain in the ring.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Tommy Rich would have to practically be a mythical viking warrior to come back from a shot like the one I laid on his skull."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "It may take an extraordinary effort for Rich to come back. We'll have to see. But, Tommy Rich sent us at the World Class offices a message the other day and he wanted it passed along to you."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Johnson pulled a piece of paper out of his jacket breast pocket.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Is it a threat to get a restraining order to keep me at least 100 yards from him or something like that?! Haha!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;">: "Just let me read it to you.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

"It says: 'I just want to let the fans know that, while I can't wrestle right now or for the forseeable future, I am going to do everything in my power to come back and wrestle again one day. And the man I want to face in my comeback match is...Nord The Barbarian.'"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Crowd cheered.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Everyone saw what I did to him last week! They know that Nord busted up Rich real good! Tommy Rich can talk about a comeback all he wants! But, until it actually happens, it's nothing but talk!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "What if he can come back, Nord?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "If he, by some miracle, should come back to wrestling, then I'll be more than willing to fight him again in any kind of match! I don't care what it is! The end result will be the same as it was last week! Ooooof! Ooooof! Ooooof!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord started stomping around in the ring and holding his chain high in the air.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

With me at this time is 'Cowboy' Bob Orton."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>BO:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "You know what, Hudson? All these fans out here, they love Ric Flair. Why, some of them will tell you they think he's the greatest pro wrestler of all-time. Ric Flair was hired by World Class because of his track record in this business. You could make the case that he's the flagship star of the company. He loves to style and profile, as he calls it. He loves to live the high-life. He's good at what he does. But you know what? So am I. I'm damn good at what I do, too. Only I don't run around in overpriced suits. I don't need to style and profile when I'm in front of the camera. I don't ride around in limos every night. I go out there and let my wrestling do the talking for me. And when I step in that ring with WCW's golden boy tonight, my wrestling is gonna speak volumes. And when the match is over, I think that Ric Flair's 'Whoo!' is gonna be turned down quite a few notches."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Orton turned and walked out of the interview area.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

I don't know if the strongest soap on the face of the earth could wash away the stink you white trash carry on your bodies every single day. I've smelled backed up toilets on a hot day that smell better than white trash. I'm trying really hard not to vomit right now. That's how stomach churning the smell is. Looks like I'm gonna have to make quick work of my opponent tonight, Steve O, so I don't hurl on national TV and..."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Orton moved in and popped Flair with a couple of rights to the head and then went to whip Flair into the ropes but Flair reversed and sent Orton into the ropes and bent down looking to catch Orton coming off with a back drop but Orton leapfrogged Flair, spun around and rolled up Flair for the pin while holding a handful of tights. 1...2...2-3/4... Flair kicked Orton off. The two men got up and locked up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Flair gained the upper hand and, channeling his dirtiest player in the game persona, poked Orton in the eye.

<span style="font-size:10px;">(Show Intro)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers Tony Schiavone and Mark Madden welcomed viewers and began the show by intro'ing video from last week of the end of the Ric Flair-Bob Orton match.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Video showed Flair lock Orton in the figure 4 and Larry Zbysko hitting the ring and attacking Flair and Orton joining in the attack and the Dynamite Kid coming to Flair's aid and the four brawling in and out of the ring as the program went off the air.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Announcers then hyped the main event: Flair & Kid vs. Zbysko & Orton. Also ran down the rest of the program: Tito Santana vs. Kamala; Nord the Barbarian sees action; a look at a major star headed to WCW; and more. Then sent it to the ring.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(In-ring: 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' played and the fans popped as Ric Flair and Dynamite Kid came out on the entrance stage. The pair were in their ring gear and each had a mic. They made their way down the aisle with a sense of purpose. Once in the ring they briefly played to the crowd.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>RF:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Last week! Everyone saw that I had Bob Orton beat with the figure 4 right in the middle of this ring! He was on the verge of tapping out when the 'Living Lowlife' Larry Zbysko decided he was going to take the opportunity to ambush me! Last week, I also said I had an emergency plan just in case Zbysko was sneaking around in the building somewhere and looking for a chance to strike! This man, standing on my right, was that emergency plan! Dynamite, Whoo!, brother, I know you're a straight shooter and I knew you were the man to watch my back when I asked you! And you didn't disappoint! Now, we have a tag team match against Zbysko and Orton tonight! There will be no Pearl Harbor jobs! I've got a British Bulldog fighting along side me who is just itching to take a bite out of you two punks! I don't like you guys and neither does he! This match is gonna be filled with one thing...hate! And it's a violent hatred! So, Zbysko and Orton, you guys better bring your A+ game tonight! Because this is not gonna be a wrestling match! Oh no! It's gonna be a war! Whoo! Tell 'em, Dynamite!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Crowd cheered.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DK:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "When Ric Flair came to me and asked me to be on the lookout for Zbysko last week, I had no problem saying yes. I know how both Zbysko and Orton like to operate, and it's not in an honorable manner by any means. Sometimes, you have to fight fire with fire. Zbysko and Orton, you two fooks want to play dirty, well, we can play that way as well! I grew up on the rough-and-tough streets of Liverpool! I often had to fight just to get my daily bread! You guys remind me a lot of the kinds of street punks I encountered growing up! You're like schoolyard bullies! And one thing that always...always bothers bullies are people who are willing to fight back and fight by their rules! You two have laid the groundwork for this battle! And we're gonna give just as much as we get! You guys have opened up a can of whooparse that you can't close!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Crowd booed as Zbysko and Orton, in their ring attire, came out on the entrance stage, each with mic in hand.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>LZ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Hey! Hey! Flair and Dyn... Would you fans shut the hell up?!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Louder boos.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>LZ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "You two clowns listen to me! Flair, you screwed up when you called me by my title! It's 'Living Legend' not 'Living Lowlife'! I'm a legend because I'm not good, I'm great at what I do! That's how you earn the moniker 'Living Legend'!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>RF:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Larry! Hey, Larry! A few weeks ago, you said you would only attack me if I stuck my nose in your business! Yet it was you who attacked me! What happened there, pal?! Huh?!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>LZ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "What I did last week was a pre-emptive strike! I was within the rules of war to do what I did! Just ask any neocon out there! You and me, Flair, are in our own war! But now, the war has expanded because you got the Dynamite Kid involved! And let me tell you something, Dynamite! You've made the biggest mistake of your career by becoming an ally of Ric Flair! What makes you think you can trust a man who calls himself the dirtiest player in the game?! You need to pick and choose your friends in this sport very carefully! Dynamite, you made a real poor decision, my man! You'll see!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DK:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "I know and trust Ric Flair like a brother! I'm not worried! You're the one who better watch his back with a partner like Bob Orton there!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>BO:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Me? Really? Larry Zbysko knows he has an upstanding citizen on his side in Bob Orton."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DK:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Upstanding citizen, eh?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>BO:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Yeah. And I have the 'Upstanding Citizen Award' I won in a raffle in third grade hanging on my wall at home to prove it. Ric, I used to really admire you. I loved how you would do anything to be and stay the man. Now, you've let these fans' cheers soften you up. Don't want to get on the bad side of the fans. I have no respect for you any more."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>RF:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Orton! The only thing I can say to that is this! Sometimes you have to earn respect from someone the hard way! And tonight, you're gonna learn respect for me because I'm gonna pound it the hell into you! And Zbysko, I see the war between you and me only escalating! Whoo! Dynamite and the 'Nature Boy' are gonna take care of business in this ring tonight and then party all night long! Whoo!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>LZ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "We'll see about that!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Long-distance stare down as the segment ended.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers hyped Flair & Kid vs. Zbysko & Orton for later in the show. Said Nord The Barbarian sees action next!)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Commercials)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers said that Tommy Rich is still recovering from a concussion that he received at the hands of Nord The Barbarian in the No DQ/No Count Out match two weeks ago. They said that no one knows if or when Rich will be able to return at this time.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Match 1</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord The Barbarian vs. Paul Diamond</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Diamond was already in the ring and announced.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

'Deaf Forever' by Motorhead filled the arena and out came Nord. He stomped around on the stage and was holding up his big steel chain. Nord made his way to the ring to pretty strong boos. He was wearing his fur-lined vest, black tights with the word 'Berzerker' in white written in a lightning-like letter style on the back, and fur-lined wrestling boots.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord got in the ring and stomped around before hanging his chain in the corner and removing his vest.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Ref called for the bell.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Each man came out of his corner and Nord immediately dropped Diamond with a boot to the face. Nord then reached down and pulled a blonde wig out of his left boot and placed it on the head of Diamond. Nord ran and hit the ropes and came off and nailed Diamond with his flying leg drop finisher. Nord covered Diamond and didn't even hook the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord got up and had his hand raised in victory.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

WINNER: Nord - Pinfall - Flying Leg Drop - :20)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(In-ring: Craig Johnson interviewed Nord.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord grabbed his chain and started stomping around and waving the chain in the air.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Nord, if I might have a word with you."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord: "What is it, Johnson?! Ooooof! Ooooof! Ooooof!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "What was the point of placing a blonde wig on your opponent?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "I was reliving the good old days of two weeks ago when I beat Tommy Rich and ended his career!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "You did indeed give him a concussion and put him on the shelf. But we don't know if his career his over."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Nord:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "The odds of Tommy Rich ever coming back to wrestling are slim and none! I lit that pretty boy up like the fourth of July! He'd be smart just to announce his retirement right now! If he tries to comeback, he could wind up in a nursing home being fed through a straw and wearing adult diapers and crapping all over himself! Ooooof! Ooooof! Ooooof! Hey!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Nord noticed the defeated and dazed Diamond was slowly making his way back up the aisle with the wig still on his head. Nord bolted the ring and charged up behind Diamond with a running clothesline to the back of the neck that flattened Diamond. The wig came off and Nord picked it up off the floor and held it high in the air as the crowd booed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "There's not much more that needs to be said here. Tony and Mark."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers discussed the quick win by Nord. They then announced a major star coming soon to WCW...Rick Martel.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Video package aired of Martel putting on a wrestling clinic against some opponents in Australia and it showed Martel hitting his finisher several times: the Swan Dive. Video faded and the following appeared on the screen: 'Rick Martel! Coming Soon To World Class Wrestling!'</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Announcers discussed Martel coming into the company.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Announcers then intro'd edited video from the start of the evening of the confrontation between Flair & Kid and Zbysko & Orton.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

They then hyped still to come: Flair & Kid vs. Zbysko & Orton. Said Santana vs. Kamala was next!)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Tito Santana vs. Kamala (w/ Mgr. El-Kaissey & Handler Kimchee)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Mariachi music filled the arena and Tito Santana came out to a decent ovation. He was wearing a sombrero, red and black poncho, red tights with a white sombrero on the backside and black boots with small Mexican flags on the outside of each boot. Santana slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. Santana saluted the crowd once in the ring.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

'Cry of the Vatos' by Oingo Boingo played and out came Kamala, Kaissey and Kimchee. Kamala was in his faux loin cloth, had painted symbols on his body, and was wearing his African tribal mask. El-Kaissey was wearing the typical Arab male headdress and an expensive suit. Kimchee was in his safari gear, pith helmet and wearing a white wrestling mask with brown trim over his face. Kimchee was also carrying a riding crop. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Once in the ring, Kimchee removed Kamala's mask and Kimchee and manager Adnan El-Kaissey had a few words for Kamala before leaving the ring.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Ref and El-Kaissey had words as Kamala gestured like he was going to go after the ref until El-Kaissey got him under control. While that distraction was going on, Kimchee took advantage as Tito was getting up and beat Tito across the back with his riding crop multiple times. Kimchee then threw Tito back into the ring.

Kimchee desperately tried to climb back into the ring and break up the pin try but he tripped over the middle rope and crashed to the mat. ....3! Ref called for the bell as the fans ate it up. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Tito got to his feet and the ref raised his hand victoriously as Kamala still lay on his back defeated; Kimchee was on his knees with head in hands; and a still dazed El-Kaissey was hunched over against the ringside barricade and looking on as Tito made his way back up the aisle with his hands raised high in the air.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

WINNER: Santana - Pinfall - Double Flying Forearm Smash from the top rope - 9:17)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Schiavone and Madden discussed Santana winning an exciting match against Kamala. Said Kid & Flair vs. Zbysko & Orton was next!)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Match 3</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Larry Zbysko & Bob Orton vs. Ric Flair & Dynamite Kid</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

('I'm The Man' by Anthrax filled the arena and Zbysko and Orton made their way to the ring to boos. Zbysko was in his black ring jacket with the initials 'LZ' in gold cursive lettering across the back, black tights and black boots with his initials 'LZ' also in cursive gold lettering on the outside of them. Orton was in his black cowboy hat, black vest, green tights and black boots with white horseshoes on the outside of each boot.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

'Also Sprach Zarathustra' played and Flair and Kid came out to a strong ovation. Kid was in leg-length tights that were red, white and blue, the colors of the Union Jack. His boots were red with small Union Jacks on the outside of each boot. His ring jacket was white with blue trim around the wrists and neck and the Union Jack emblazoned across the back and his name emblazoned in red block letters under the flag. Flair was in his flowing black and white robe with silver sequins on it and 'Nature Boy' written in cursive on the back. Flair entered the ring and removed his robe and handed it off to a ringside attendant. Flair was in his powder blue tights with a cursive 'RF' above the left thigh and his powder blue boots with white trim with 'RF' in print initials on the outside of each.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Zbysko and Orton attacked Flair and Kid before the match started and were beating down Flair and Kid. Zbysko and Orton then went to whip Flair and Kid into each other but Flair and Kid reversed and sent Orton and Zbysko crashing into one another. Orton went down and Zbysko staggered back and was driven over the top rope to the floor by a Flair clothesline as Orton got to his feet in the ring. Kid blasted Orton with a dropkick that sent Orton over the top rope down to the floor as the fans roared while Kid and Flair stood tall in the ring. After Zbysko and Orton recovered on the floor they both made their way to the apron and order was restored.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Ref called for the bell to start the match.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

A wild affair between these two teams that saw fighting on the floor, some exciting near falls, pin break-ups and big moves. Orton and Zbysko took a couple of shortcuts to gain the advantage during the bout.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

At the end of the match, Flair and Orton were the legal men in the ring. Flair had gained the advantage and went to whip Orton into the buckles but Orton reversed and sent Flair into the buckles. Orton moved in and popped Flair with a series of rights to the head and then went to nail Flair with the running bulldog but Flair shoved Orton off and Orton crashed to the mat. Orton and Flair got up and Orton went to punch Flair but Flair blocked the punch and laid into Orton with a series of blistering chops that staggered Orton. Flair reached down and took Orton's legs out from under him and started locking Orton into the figure 4 but Orton kicked Flair off and sent Flair crashing front-first into the buckles. Orton got to his feet and started having words with the ref as Zbysko started strangling Flair with the tag rope. Kid got into the ring and went to go after Zbysko but the ref intercepted him and Zbysko kept strangling Flair. Orton had words with Kid and then turned his attention back to Flair just as Zbysko released the choke. Kid back to his corner. Flair hurting in the corner. Orton moved in and put the boots to Flair and then whipped Flair into the ropes and dropped Flair with a clothesline. Orton then bodyslammed Flair into position for a turnbuckle move. Orton mounted the middle buckle facing the crowd and looked to nail Flair with a slingshot splash but Flair got his knees up and Orton crashed into them. Orton stumbled back and fell on his ass. Flair started getting to his feet when Zbysko hit the ring and Kid intercepted Zbysko with a tackle that sent Kid and Zbysko tumbling through the ropes and down to the floor. Flair moved in and caught Orton with a couple of stiff chops and a kick to the gut that doubled over Orton. Flair then nailed Orton with a doubled underhook suplex. On the floor, Kid and Zbysko started making their way to their feet. Zbysko had grabbed a steel folding chair from under the apron and stunned Kid with a gut shot with the head of the chair and then bashed Kid on the outside of the left knee with the chair. Kid crumpled to the floor holding his knee. Flair locked Orton into the figure 4. Orton fighting not to submit when Zbysko climbed back in the ring and drove the top of the chair down into Flair's chest. Ref immediately called for the bell as the blow forced Flair to release the hold. Zbysko started hitting the downed Flair with chair shots as Orton made his way to his feet. Flair was able to roll over near the ropes as Kid was somehow able to hobble over and pull Flair from the ring before more damage could be done. Flair fell on the floor and Kid was struggling to remain upright. Zbysko and Orton prepared to leave the ring and continue the assault.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Madden:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Hey! That's World Class executive Jim Herd!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Herd was in a suit and had a mic as he stood on the stage.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Herd:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Zbysko and Orton! Don't even think about leaving that ring! For the last two weeks, Ric Flair has had Bob Orton on the verge of defeat when you, Zbysko, interfered in the match! So, here's what we're gonna do! Next week, we're gonna have a re-match between Ric Flair and Bob Orton! Only this time it will take place in a steel cage!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Crowd popped and Orton and Zbysko didn't look too happy as Flair and Kid, both hurting, were standing on the floor.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Herd:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "And to make doubly sure that you can't interfere, Zbysko, you're gonna be in a cage as well!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Zbysko lost it and Orton was dumbfounded.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Herd:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "You're gonna be in a cage suspended high above the ring! And you won't be alone! In that cage with you will be the Dynamite Kid!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Crowd roaring as Flair and Kid looked happy but still hurting on the floor and Zbysko and Orton were in disbelief and having a conversation with each other as the program went off the air.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

WINNER: Flair & Kid - DQ - Zbysko used a chair - 12:33)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

<span style="font-size:10px;">(Show Intro)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Crowd Shots/Pyro)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Camera shot of the special cage that will house Larry Zbysko and Dynamite Kid and will be lifted into the air above ringside for the steel cage match between Ric Flair and Bob Orton.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers Tony Schiavone and Mark Madden welcomed viewers. They then intro'd footage. Video aired from the last two weeks of matches where Ric Flair appeared to have Bob Orton beaten with the figure 4 only to have Larry Zbysko interfere in both matches and Dynamite Kid come to Flair's aid and WCW exec Jim Herd coming out after last week's match and announcing the steel cage match this week with Zbysko and Kid locked in their own smaller cage that would be suspended above ringside. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

After the video, camera shot now showed the steel cage hovering ominously above the ring that Orton and Flair would be fighting in in the main event. Also ran down the rest of the program: 'Long Rider' Bill Irwin sees action; an update on the status of Tommy Rich; another video of the newest wrestler coming to WCW: Rick Martel; an interview with Tito Santana; and more.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Match 1</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

'American Gigolo' Buff Bagwell vs. Steve O</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

('Hand Jive' by George Thorogood played and Steve O came to the ring to a good ovation. O slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. O was wearing a blue ring jacket with 'Steve O' written in white cursive letters on the back, blue tights and white boots with blue trim.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

As O made his way to the ring, his win-loss record in WCW (0-3) appeared on the screen.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Madden:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Steve O may be 0-3 here in World Class, but it's an impressive 0-3. He's given Kamala, Zbysko and Don Muraco all they could handle before he was beaten by them. Mark my words, Tony, this guy is gonna win one real soon. And it may just be tonight against Buff Bagwell."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

'Call Me' by Blondie played and out came 'American Gigolo' Buff Bagwell. Bagwell had a pretty woman (clients?) on each arm as he came down the aisle. Bagwell was wearing a black sweat suit with the jacket unzipped revealing his bare chest. The two ladies got on the ring apron and sat down on the middle rope and held the ropes open for Bagwell to step through. Bagwell stood in the corner and one lady removed his sweat jacket and handed it down to the ring attendant. On the back of the jacket were the words 'Time Is Money' in white lettering. The two ladies then knelt down, one on each side of Bagwell, and pulled his sweat pants off. Bagwell was wearing black leg-length tights and black wrestling boots. He had three gold dollar signs on the back of his tights. Bagwell then kissed each lady on the lips before they left the ring.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Bagwell took the ring announcer's mic.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Buff:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Steve O. Look, man. I know you're winless. But all your losses have been to top stars here in WCW. You've given them all a fight and I expect nothing less tonight. But you're still gonna leave the ring a big loo-hoo-sah! Hahaha!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Buff tossed the mic and the ref called for the bell.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

The two men came out to the middle of the ring and circled one another when Buff suddenly turned his back to O and struck a biceps pose. O dropped down and rolled up Buff from behind for the pin. 1...2... Buff kicked out. Buff got up and got in O's face and was saying something and then stunned O with a slap to the face. After being briefly stunned, O returned the slap. That set Buff off and Buff started pounding away on O and then whipped O into the ropes and looked to catch O coming off with a clothesline but O ducked the move and came back and caught Buff with a flying crossbody. Buff crashed to the mat as O went for the quick pin again. 1...2... Buff kicked out and got to his feet once more. Buff and O circled each other and Buff suddenly stuck his hand out in the 'stop' position and left the ring and dropped to the floor and went over and was hugged and consoled by his ladies. Buff then climbed back onto the ring apron. O gestured for Buff to get into the ring. Buff started to climb back into the ring as O went to go after him. Buff climbed back out onto the ring apron. O was standing near the ropes and again gestured for Buff to get into the ring. Ref stepped in between the pair and had his back turned to Buff and was gesturing for O to back up when Buff stunned O with a head punch. Buff got back into the ring and nailed O with some more head shots, whipped O into the ropes and nailed O coming off with a big closthesline that leveled O. O got to his feet and Buff came up behind O and blasted O with a face buster. O rolled over on his back and Buff sat down on O's chest with his knees on O's shoulders for the pin. Buff once again struck a biceps pose. 1...2... O reached back with his legs and stunned Buff by catching him in a flip over for the pin. 1...2... Buff kicked out. Both men to their feet and Buff caught O with a boot to the gut that doubled over O and then Buff blasted with a knee lift to the chest that sent O crashing back to the mat. Buff then turned and played to his ladies as the fans booed but the ladies were loving it. Buff turned and went back after O, who was now getting to his feet. O caught Buff with a kick to the gut. O moved in on Buff and Buff recovered quickly and caught O with an inverted atomic drop. O crashed to the mat near the ropes. Buff went over, snapped up O, and hit O with a slingshot suplex. Buff for the cover. 1...2...2-1/2... O got a shoulder up. Fans cheered.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Madden:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "There is just no quit in Steve O! No matter how bleak things look, he continues to fight!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Buff punched O with a couple of head shots, pulled O up and whipped O into the corner. Buff moved in and popped O with a series of big turnbuckle thrusts. O basically limp in the corner. Buff whipped O into the opposite buckles and followed O in with a brutal clothesline. O stumbled out of the corner and crashed to the mat. Buff once again turned and played to his ladies who were cheering him on. Buff pulled O up, whipped O into the ropes and bent down looking to catch O coming off with a backdrop but O instead caught Buff in a front facelock and turned it into a rolling neckbreaker. Crowd exploded. O was a little slow in making the cover and hooking the leg. 1...2...2-9/10... Buff kicked out. Crowd groaned. Both men slowly got to their feet and Buff blasted O with a forearm smash to the head. O crashed to the mat once more. Buff mounted the middle buckle and waited for O to get to his feet. When O got up, he was greeted with the Buff Blockbuster (diving neckbreaker). O back down and Buff for the cover while hooking the leg. 1...2...3! Ref called for the bell.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Buff got to his feet and had his hand raised in victory. Buff then left the ring and his ladies greeted him with fondles and kisses and the trio made their way to the back arm-in-arm. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

WINNER: Bagwell - Pinfall - Buff Blockbuster - 6:21)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers discussed Bagwell beating O, even though O made another strong showing in defeat.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Madden:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Steve O is a 1/2 second away from pulling off a major victory! And it is going to happen! There's no way he continues to have all these near misses against major stars! And when he wins...it will be huge!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

They then sent it backstage.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Backstage: Scott Hudson interviewed Bob Orton & Larry Zbysko.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Thank you, Tony and Mark. We are off to another hot start on 'Mayhem' tonight. And I have to agree with Mark Madden. Steve O is on the verge of a breakthrough here in World Class. He will get that first win. The only question is when?</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

"Right now, my guests at this time are both involved in our TV main event, 'Cowboy' Bob Orton and Larry Zbysko."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Zbysko and Orton walked into the interview area. Orton was in his ring attire and Zbysko was in his street clothes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Bob Orton. You have been on the edge of defeat against Ric Flair the last two weeks. But, thanks to your pal Larry Zbysko, you were saved from tapping out in the figure 4. Now, you're facing Ric Flair in a steel cage tonight and Larry Zbysko won't be able to help you because he's gonna be suspended above ringside in a cage with the Dynamite Kid."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>BO:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Scott Hudson. Let me fill you in on a little fact. You said that I was on the verge of losing to Ric Flair the last two weeks. But I never tapped out when I was in the figure 4, did I?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "No. You didn't tap out. But that's because..."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>BO:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Ah! I don't want to hear it, man. I didn't tap out and that's the bottom line. I have no problem stepping into the steel cage with Flair tonight. None at all. He can lock me in that figure 4 again and I'll survive it just like I did the last two weeks. What I do have a problem with is are these WCW execs like Jim Herd ordering that Larry Zbysko be put in a cage that's gonna be suspended above the ring like he's some wild animal. Larry's not an animal. And to put him in that cage with the tightly wound Dynamite Kid, well, that's a miscarriage of justice. Kid's got an explosive temper and he might just go off half-cocked up there and attack Larry."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>LZ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "When I heard Jim Herd's stipulation for me last week, I could not believe it! I'm the Living Legend, dammit! I don't deserve to be put in a cage and raised 30-40 feet above the ring! You don't do that to a legend! Orton and Flair are having their match in a cage! That should be enough! This shows that the WCW executive committee has it in for yours truly! And if the Dynamite Kid lays a hand on me or I have a panic attack in that cage because I don't like heights, then I'm gonna sue World Class Wrestling and put them out of business! And as for you, Ric Flair, the situation between us is only escalating! It will come to a head in the near future and I'm gonna give the 'Nature Boy' a very personal lesson showing why you don't mess with a Living Legend!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>BO:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Ric Flair! I'm gonna use that cage as a weapon against you tonight! I'm gonna use it to cut you up and batter your body! You might not even get a chance to think about applying the figure 4 because it's hard to try and apply the hold when you're unable to see because of all the blood, your own blood, that will be in your eyes from the ruthless beatdown I'm gonna lay on you!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Orton and Zbysko walked out of the interview area.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Fans. That was Larry Zbysko and Bob Orton." </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Commericals)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers intro'd video from last week of Tito Santana defeating Kamala after hitting Kamala with four double flying forearm smashes, the last from off the top buckle leading to the pin. Video aired.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(In-ring: Craig Johnson interviewed Tito Santana.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Wrestling fans! Please welcome my guest at this time, Tito Santana!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Mariachi music played and out came Santana to a good ovation. Tito was in his street clothes. Tito slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring. Once in the ring, Tito saluted the crowd.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Tito! What a victory last week over Kamala! It took a lot to beat the wild man from Uganda!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>TS:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Craig, that was one of the toughest matches of my career. Kamala is as tough as he is unpredictable. I had to hit him four times with my finisher, the double flying forearm smash, to finally get him down for the count."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "And that last forearm smash was delivered from off the top rope!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>TS:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "It was. I had to think fast on my feet. I knew I had the big man in a weakened position but I couldn't put him away. So, I decided to deliver what would turn out to be the decisive blow from off the top rope."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Your finisher can already be devastating when done at mat level one time. But in coming off the top rope you were able to get a little extra force behind the move and that did Kamala in."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>TS:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Kamala is not a normal wrestler. He's tough to bring down and keep off his feet for any lengthy amount of time. He has very good recovery skills after being hit with moves that would devastate other opponents.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

"And let me just add this. You fans kept me going in that match. You helped me to victory and for that I salute you. Ariba!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Fans cheered.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Tito, now that you've... Oh no! What is he doing out here?!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Don Muraco, in street clothes, made his way to the ring with mic in hand. Muraco climbed into the ring. He was booed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>CJ:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Don Muraco! This is not your interview time..."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "I just came out here to congratulate Tito on his win over Kamala. It was an impressive feat. Tito, put 'er there."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Muraco extended his hand for Tito to shake. Tito was hesitant.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "I'm not gonna do anything. Come on."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Tito hesitated a little more and then shook Don's hand.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Now, where is it?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>TS:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Where is what?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "I thought after every Tito Santana win we all got a free taco."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>TS:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Excuse me."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Where's my free taco? I want it. And I want it with meat, cheese, onions and really hot hot sauce. Oh! And I like mine to be hard shell. I don't like soft shell tacos."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>TS:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "What is it with you and all this race-baiting, Muraco?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "I'm not race-baiting you, Tito. I would never do that. I mean, I just shook your hand."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>TS:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Seems like race-baiting to me."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Look, Tito. I've seen how you operate, dude. I've seen you backstage sucking up to and kissing the ass of the white trash. Do you do that so you can get pushed up the ladder here in World Class?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>TS:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "I'm not kissing anyone's ass no matter what race they are. I believe in working hard to succeed."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Alright. Whatever. I just have one more thing to say before I go."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>TS:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "And what is that?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "When I leave this arena tonight and head out to the parking lot...my car better not be up on blocks."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Tito then jumped Don and Muraco dropped his mic and the two started brawling in the ring as Johnson bailed to the safety of the floor. They were exchanging punches when Muraco broke away from Tito and bailed to the floor. Muraco went over and grabbed an empty chair sitting next to the timekeeper's table, folded it up and threw it in the ring. Tito picked up the chair, unfolded it and sat down in the chair and dared Muraco to get back in the ring. Muraco carefully climbed back onto the apron as Tito stood up. The two briefly stared each other down and then Muraco flipped Tito the bird. Tito charged over and was flailing away on Muraco. Muraco managed to escape Tito's clutches and drop back to the floor. Tito was seething in the ring and wanted Muraco to get back in. Muraco went over and took the ring announcer's mic off the timekeeper's table.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DM:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "I STILL WANT MY FREE TACO!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Tito then bolted the ring and chased Muraco back up the aisle to the back.) </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers discussed the confrontation between Muraco and Santana. Hyped the Steel Cage Match: Flair vs. Orton coming up later in the program. Then sent it backstage.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Backstage: Scott Hudson interviewed Ric Flair & Dynamite Kid.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Would you please welcome my guests at this time...Ric Flair and the Dynamite Kid!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Flair walked into the interview area in his ring attire and Kid limped into the area in his street clothes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Dynamite Kid, the limp is still noticable from where Larry Zbysko tagged you in the leg with a chair last week. It looks like it might be a real struggle for you to get in that cage with Zbysko that's gonna be elevated above ringside during the Flair-Orton cage battle in the ring."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>DK:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Scott Hudson, I can't lie. I am still hurting in my left knee area. As you saw walking in here, I'm not moving all that well. Larry got a stiff shot in on it with that chair during our tag match. But I'm here for Ric Flair tonight. I've got his back. Zbysko is not gonna be able to do anything like he has the last two weeks. Ric had Orton beat the last two weeks until the so-called Living Legend saved Orton's bacon. That's not happening this time. Whoever wins this cage match tonight will do it on their own. Zbysko will have no say in the outcome."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Ric Flair. Tonight, we should have a clear-cut winner between you and Bob Orton inside the 10-foot high steel cage."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>RF:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "First of all, I want to thank the Dynamite Kid publicly for being here and watching my back once again! He's nowhere close to 100%! But he told me earlier that if he had to crawl into that cage with Zbysko tonight then that's what he was gonna do! Dynamite, you're the man, brother!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Flair patted Kid on the shoulder.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>RF:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Bob Orton! We're pitted against each other for the third week in a row! And as the saying goes: The third time's a charm! Whoo! There will be a winner between us tonight! With your buddy Zbysko locked away with Dynamite keeping an eye on him from point blank range, Orton, you're gonna have to beat me all on your own! I don't need to talk about what's happened the last two weeks! These fans have seen it! And if I catch you in the figure 4 again, buddy, this time there will be no Zbysko to help you! This match promises to get nasty inside the unforgiving steel before all is said and done! And to be the man, you've got to beat the man! And I'm the man, Bob! Whoo! And after I finish with you, then Zbysko, you and the 'Nature Boy' have some business of our own to settle! Whoo!"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Commericals)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers discussed the status of Tommy Rich. Said that Rich is said to be getting better but is still feeling the effects from the the concussion he received three weeks ago when Nord The Barbarian hit Rich in the head with part of his big steel chain during their No DQ/No Count Out match. Said that next week, they're hoping to do an interview with Tommy Rich. They then sent it to the ring.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Young was already in the ring and announced.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

'Nevada Fighter' by Mike Nesmith played and out came Bill Irwin to a decent ovation from the crowd.

He slapped hands with fans on the way to the ring.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Young stunned Irwin by taking the fight to Irwin early on.

(Announcers intro'd video of Rick Martel, who is coming to WCW in the near future. Video showed Martel engaging in a strenuous workout, running along the beach and more footage of Martel wrestling in Australia and finishing off his foes with his swan dive finisher. Video faded to black and these words appeared: 'Rick Martel! Coming soon to World Class Wrestling!' </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Announcers were discussing Rick Martel coming in soon to WCW when Tony Schiavone got word that something was going on backstage and they sent it to the back.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Backstage: Scott Hudson was on the scene in the locker room.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Kid shown laying on the ground holding his left knee as EMT's had just entered the interview area. Kid was moaning in pain.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "No one is sure exactly what happened. I've tried to talk to Dynamite but he's in such great pain right now that it's impossible. We can only speculate at this time.

I'll have more news to report on this matter as things develop."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Schiavone and Madden discussed what appeared to be a mysterious attack on Kid.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Back from commercial: Scott Hudson was standing outside a closed door in the backstage area.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Behind this door, EMT's are examining Dynamite Kid's left leg."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Hudson knocks on the door and an EMT walks out of the room and closes the door behind him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Excuse me. Can we get an update on the Dynamite Kid?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>EMT:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "We just started looking at Kid's leg and, even though we're early in the exam, it does look like he was struck in the knee area with a blunt object of some kind."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

(Announcers discussed the report on Kid and said the cage match was about to start.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Match 3 (Steel Cage Match)</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

'Cowboy' Bob Orton (w/ Zbysko) vs. 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

('Desperado' by Alice Cooper played and out came Orton and Zbysko to strong boos. Orton was in his green tights, black boots with with white horseshoes on the outside of each boot and was also wearing a black vest and cowboy hat. Zbysko was in street clothes and now wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates' windbreaker.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Zbysko and Orton talked briefly when they got to ringside and Orton took off his hat and vest and entered the cage enclosed ring. Zbysko confidently then strode over to the smaller cage and stepped in without any kind of resistance. Security officer closed the cage door behind Zbysko and locked the door. The door had a simple sliding bolt on the outside.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>Madden:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "You know, Tony, there's no padlock or anything on that cage that Zbysko's in. He could easily open that door and walk out. Of course, once he's suspended in mid-air, he probably won't want to do that unless he's determined to have a Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff moment."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

The cage holding Zbysko started to rise in the air when the announcers sent it to the back. Hudson was with Ric Flair.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Ric, the Dynamite Kid was injured under mysterious circumstances and won't be in the cage with Zbysko. What are you thinking right now?"</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>RF (subdued):</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "I think we all know who was behind the attack on Dynamite. No names need to be mentioned. We can only hope that Dynamite recovers from this. I'm fighting this match for both of us. But as long as Zbysko's in that cage and not anywhere he can interfere in the match that's what matters and the better man should win."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

</span><span style="font-size:10px;"><strong>SH:</strong></span><span style="font-size:10px;"> "Thank you for your time, Ric."</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

Flair nodded and walked off.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">

'Also Sprach Zarathustra' played and out came Flair to a loud ovation. Flair was in his black and white robe with silver sequins and 'Nature Boy' written in cursive across the back. He got to the cage and removed his robe and was wearing his red tights with his 'RF' initials in white lettering on the lower left front. He was also wearing his read boots with white trim and 'RF' in white lettering on the outside of each boot.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:10px;">
