Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Magnum T.A. welcome everyone to the show and talk about what happened at WrestleWar. Images come up from the various matches this past Sunday, in particular War Games that saw Steamboat's Squadron defeat The Four Horsemen. Inside the arena, the crowd stand on their feet as the current WCW World Heavyweight Champion </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Sting</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> comes out from the back. Sting high fives the fans on his way down to the ring before sliding inside. He raises the belt and draws loud cheers from this crowd. He has a microphone in hand and says that last Sunday night he was in a war with a man who was deserving of a World title shot in Rick Rude. When you strip down the robe and the arrogant attitude, you have a great wrestler in this ring. But he listens to the wrong people. He lets the likes of Paul E. Dangerously get into his head. That is why he is not the World Heavyweight Champion. He made the mistake of trying to get into Sting's head and the night ended rather badly for him, so says Sting. But that doesn't mean that Sting is going to back away from him. Sting says he'll give Rude another match any time he wants one. Before Sting can continue, though, he is interrupted by some very familiar music.]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RickySteamboat.jpg</span></p><div style="text-align:right;"></div><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/EricBischoff.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [The music is for the man who led his team to victory in War Games last Sunday night, </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">! The crowd cheers Steamboat as he high fives the fans in the front row on his way to the ring. He steps inside and offers a handshake to Sting. The handshake is immediately accepted and the two men embrace in a quick man-style hug before Steamboat asks for a microphone. Sting speaks before Steamboat can, saying that he's interrupting Sting's time out here tonight. Steamboat says that it's great to be here in Oklahoma City. He says that Sting is not the only person who walked out of WrestleWar with a victory. He says that he led his team to victory in War Games, the most brutal match in the history of WCW. But that's not why he's out here tonight. He says that he is out here because there is one reason why he returned to WCW. It wasn't to lead the team in War Games. It was to once again become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. In order to do that, he has to have a match with the champion and what better place to have that match than right here in Oklahoma City on WCW Saturday Night? The crowd cheers. What a match this would be between two sure-fire (far) future hall-of-famers! Sting paces for a moment, thinking about the challenge laid out by The Dragon. Sting asks the little Stingers if they want to see him defend his title against The Dragon. The crowd responds in the affirmative. But before Sting can answer, </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Eric Bischoff</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> walks out from the back. The Executive Vice President in charge of WCW walks to the ring and enters inside standing in between the two men. He raises the microphone and says that with the power vested in him by WCW he is making the match tonight in our main event! The winner of this match will move on to WCW SuperBrawl: Crossroads to defend the WCW World Heavyweight title against three other challengers in the Ultimate Sacrifice match. He has something special for the loser next week on WCW Saturday Night. He tells them good luck in their match tonight and then exits the ring as Sting and Steamboat stare each other down.]</span></em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">COMING TONIGHT!</span></strong></p><p> <span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/ArnAnderson.jpg</span><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/USPW_14/VS.jpg</span><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/NikitaKoloff.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Match #1</strong></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/BuddyLandel.jpg</span><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/USPW_14/VS.jpg</span><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/ScottSteiner.jpg</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"></div><p> <strong>10 Minute Time Limit Match</strong></p><p><strong> Buddy Landel vs. Scott Steiner</strong></p><p> </p><p> <em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">[Our opening contest is one fall with a ten minute time limit. As Scott Steiner is making his entrance, Jim Ross informs everyone that his brother, Rick, was injured during War Games this past Sunday night so he will be out of WCW for a couple of months to recover. This puts Scott Steiner in singles action tonight against The Nature Boy Buddy Landel. Landel gets a brief advantage in the beginning of the contest but Steiner quickly turns it around when he no-sells knife-edge chops given to him by Landel. Steiner takes down Landel with a Steiner-Line. He picks him up and sends him to the ropes -- Steiner catches Landel around the waist -- Overhead Belly-To-Belly Suplex! The suplex sends Landel flying across the ring and the crowd is solidly behind Steiner as he continues his assault of The Nature Boy. Steiner picks up Landel and sends him to the ropes -- tilt-a-whirl slam brings Landel down hard to the mat. Steiner plays to the crowd for a moment and then picks up Landel once more. He gets him in a vertical suplex position -- Steiner Screwdriver! He plants Landel on the mat and then makes a cover, hooking the leg: One, Two, Three!]</span></em></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Winner: Scott Steiner (Via Pinfall @ 6:27)</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong> Match Rating: C</strong></span></p><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/ScottSteiner.jpg</span></p><div style="text-align:right;"></div><p> <span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RicFlair.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">[Having picked up the victory tonight, </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Scott Steiner</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> begins to celebrate inside the ring. He climbs to the second turnbuckle and motions to the crowd, getting louder cheers. He drops down and asks for and is given a microphone. He begins by announcing to the fans here in the arena that his brother did not survive War Games last Sunday night without getting hurt. He says that Rick will be back in a couple of months and when he returns, The Steiner Brothers are going to go after the WCW World Tag Team titles. Until then, this leaves him on his own as a singles wrestler in WCW. With being a singles wrestler, he wants to put his name on the card at SuperBrawl: Crossroads. He says that he wants to be one of the men in the Ultimate Sacrifice match and get a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight title! The crowd cheers and then boos as he is interrupted by the arrival of former WCW World Heavyweight Champion </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Ric Flair</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. Flair has on his robe and he walks confidently down to the ring. He steps inside and Steiner asks Flair what he wants. Flair begins by saying that Steiner and his team got lucky last Sunday night but at least none of the Horsemen will be on the sidelines after War Games. He adds that he's going to be in the Crossroads match at SuperBrawl. But that Steiner isn't ready to be Ric Flair. He says that Steiner isn't ready to wear the custom made clothes, the 1000 dollar alligator shoes. So he needs to take a step down and maybe go after Lex Luger and the United States title. Steiner gets right up in the face of Flair. Steiner says that he doesn't want to be Ric Flair. Right now, he'd rather be Sting because Sting is the man. Sting is the man wearing the gold. Then he challenges Flair to put that spot on the line next week on WCW Saturday Night. Ric Flair versus Scott Steiner with the winner moving on to the Ultimate Sacrifice match. Flair responds that Steiner doesn't know what he's doing but he's going to find out next week when he walks that aisle. Flair accepts the challenge and tries a cheap shot knife-edge chop on Steiner but Steiner ignores it. He wraps Flair around the waist -- Overhead Belly-To-Belly Suplex! Flair grabs his back and rolls out of the ring. The two men stare at each other as we move to a video.]</span></em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/GordonSolie.jpg</span></p><div style="text-align:right;"></div><p> <span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/KevinVonErich.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">[it's time for a return to the Wrestling News Network featuring </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Gordon Solie</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. The Dean of Professional Wrestling begins by talking about WrestleWar 1991. He gives a quick recap of the matches that took place on that show, including a focus with video of the match between Michael Hayes and Kevin Von Erich. Following the video, Solie sends us to an interview with Kevin Von Erich that took place following the match. The interview is in a backstage area of the Veteran's Coliseum as </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Kevin Von Erich</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> has just been checked out by doctors. Von Erich looks up in the camera and asks Hayes if that was enough. Did he prove himself as a Von Erich? As an opponent for The Freebirds? He says that he's not done with Michael Hayes where the P.S. should stand for Pretty Stupid. He says that he wants a rematch with Hayes at SuperBrawl. He says that he will let Hayes pick whatever stipulation he wants to put on the match. But he says that with a victory he will prove that the Von Erichs are better than the Freebirds. Von Erich raises the Iron Claw hand and we head to the ring for our next contest.]</span></em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <strong>Match #2</strong></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/OwenHart.jpg</span><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/USPW_14/VS.jpg</span><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/MarkKyle.jpg</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"></div><p> <strong>WCW World Television Title Match</strong></p><p><strong> 10 Minute Time Limit Match</strong></p><p><strong> Owen Hart defends vs. Mark Kyle</strong></p><p> </p><p> <em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">[Our second match of the night features the WCW World Television title being defended by Owen Hart against Mark 'Killer' Kyle. Hart has been on a roll since winning the WCW World Television title. Tony Schiavone throws in early on that he considers Owen the most underrated of the Hart family members and that he may be the best wrestler of the family. Kyle assaults Hart when the opening bell sounds with forearm shots around the head and neck. He picks up Hart and brings him over his knee with a backbreaker before pushing Hart to the mat and covering. Hart kicks out after a one count. Kyle stands up and bounces off the ropes. He goes for an elbow drop but Hart rolls out of the way. Hart begins using his speed to his advantage over the slower Kyle. He slips in behind Kyle and shows some strength as he brings the larger man over with a belly-to-back suplex. Kyle rolls out of the ring to create some separation but Hart doesn't back down. Instead, he bounces off the ropes and catches Kyle with a suicide dive through the ropes, knocking Kyle against the guardrail. Hart stands up and plays to the crowd before bringing the action back inside the ring. Hart waits for Kyle to get to his feet and then bounces off the ropes -- Spinning Heel Kick connects! Hart stands up and exits the ring, climbing to the top turnbuckle. He waits for Kyle to stand -- Missile Dropkick! Hart makes the cover, hooking the leg: One, Two, Three!

Dangerously</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. Rhodes says that last Sunday at WrestleWar, Rude had the opportunity of a lifetime but he was unable to complete the deal against the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Sting. Rhodes, then, mentions Sting's comments earlier this evening about another match and Paul E. Dangerously responds. He says that he would like to begin this evening with a sincere apology for what happened on Sunday night. He says that the interference was all his fault and that Rick Rude had nothing to do with it. He says that Rude should not be denied his opportunity because of a decision that he made. The microphone moves up to Rude and he begins by saying that he was half a count away from winning the World title at WrestleWar on numerous occasions. He said that he proved that after the match when he laid out the fake champion. He says that Sting offered him a rematch any time he wanted? Well, he wants one next week right here on WCW Saturday Night. Rhodes intervenes, telling Rude that he knows for a fact that the rematch won't occur next week. Rude asks Rhodes under what authority he says this. He says that he was told by Eric Bischoff to tell Rick Rude that next week Rude will step inside the ring with The Natural Dustin Rhodes. The winner will move on to SuperBrawl and the Ultimate Sacrifice match. Rude has a sneer on his face and says that he is so much better than Dusty's kid. He says that he will prove that next week. But then he turns to Dangerously and tells his manager to make the rematch happen. Dangerously nods and Rude and Dangerously walk off as Dusty Rhodes sends us to the Wrestling News Network.]</span></em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/GordonSolie.jpg</span></p><div style="text-align:right;"></div><p> <span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RickyMorton.jpg</span><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RobertGibson.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">[</span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Gordon Solie</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> welcomes us back to the Wrestling News Network right here on WCW Saturday Night. He begins talking about the SuperBrawl: Crossroads show in March. He reminds us that all titles will be defended in a Crossroads match featuring four wrestlers or four teams. One of those matches will be for the WCW World Tag Team titles. He says that they know right now that Doom will defend those belts against the team of Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard, The Rock & Roll Express and an as-of-yet unnamed team to make the fourth team. He sends us to an interview with The Rock & Roll Express. </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>The Rock & Roll Express</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> are shown in an interview area with a blue WCW background. Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson begin by discussing what happened at WrestleWar when Doom got intentionally disqualified to avoid losing their titles. Ricky Morton says that the DQ won't happen again this time around but there is the issue of two other teams being involved in the match. Robert Gibson says that they have never fought in a match quite like this Crossroads match but that the power of Rock & Roll lives forever in the hearts and minds of all their fans here and around the world. Morton closes the interview by saying that at SuperBrawl they are going to be the team that walks out with the titles around their waists and prove that they are the best tag team in WCW.

Steve Armstrong was definitely a weak link during the match, struggling to keep up with everyone else's performance. Taylor catches Armstrong with a jawbreaker in the midway portion of the match and tags out to Michael Wallstreet. Wallstreet locks Armstrong in an abdominal stretch, using the ropes for leverage whenever possible until the referee catches him and forces him to break the hold. Wallstreet argues with the referee, giving Armstrong a chance to get to his feet. Armstrong catches Wallstreet with a dropkick and then begins crawling toward his corner. Armstrong leaps for a tag but Terrence Taylor is there! Taylor yanks Smothers off the apron and then whips him into the guardrail outside the ring. Armstrong turns back to Wallstreet and is caught with a kick to the gut and a double underhook suplex.

Koloff blocks an Anderson punch and fires another! Three straight right hands from Koloff knock Anderson back into a corner and Anderson ducks in the corner, yelling at the referee to back Koloff off. The referee steps in and Anderson takes the moment to poke Koloff in the eye, gaining the advantage. Anderson moves in and begins focusing on the right arm of the Russian Nightmare. Anderson wrenches Koloff's arm around and then locks in a hammerlock. He picks up Koloff and brings him down in a hammerlock body slam. The Enforcer puts the boots to Koloff's head on the mat. Anderson brings the action outside the ring and continues his assault on Koloff. He grabs Koloff by the arm and sends him shoulder-first into the ring post. Koloff grunts in pain, trying to walk it off, shaking his arm to get some kind of feeling back into it. Koloff fires at Anderson with his left hand to get Anderson to back off. Koloff moves around the ring but Anderson gives chase. Anderson catches up with Koloff but the Russian Nightmare elevates Anderson with a back body drop into the first row! Koloff slides back in the ring and Anderson makes it back in with only a second to spare before he would have been counted out. Koloff takes a brief advantage but it's cut off when Anderson ducks a Russian Sickle and then brings Koloff down with the Double A Spinebuster! Anderson says it's over and makes the cover, hooking the far leg:]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [....1....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ....2....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ...Kickout!]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [Ten minutes into the contest and Arn Anderson still has the advantage. The crowd tries to get behind The Russian Nightmare, trying to will him back into the match. Anderson catches Nikita Koloff with a swinging neckbreaker and makes another cover, scoring only a two count. The frustration can be seen in Anderson's eyes. Double A picks up Koloff and backs him into a corner. Anderson throws a couple of punches and then tries to Irish whip Koloff across the ring but Koloff reverses, sending Anderson into the corner. Anderson bounces out and is brought up and over with a back body drop by Koloff! The Russian Nightmare is feeling it as he is getting his second wind. Koloff lifts Anderson and brings him down with a body slam before grabbing his right arm in pain. He shakes his head and then bounces off the ropes -- elbow drop with the left arm. Koloff makes a cover: One, Two, Kickout! Koloff lifts Anderson and goes for a bear hug but Anderson fights free before Koloff can lock his arms. Anderson throws a punch but Koloff ignores it, lifting Anderson in an airplane spin! As Koloff is spinning Anderson, one of Anderson's legs accidentally kicks the referee, knocking him out on the mat. Koloff sets down Anderson and then hits him with the Russian Sickle! Koloff makes a cover but there's no referee to make the count! Koloff looks frustrated as he surely would have gotten the three count there. Koloff stands up and moves to the referee, trying to revive the official. During this moment, Anderson rolls out of the ring and grabs a metal folding chair. He slides back inside and catches Koloff across the back with the chair and then a chair shot to the head! Anderson tosses out the chair and strikes Koloff with the Anderson DDT. Anderson drags the referee over before he covers Koloff:]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [....1....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ....2....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ....3!]</span></em></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Winner: Arn Anderson (Via Pinfall @ 16:52)</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong> Match Rating: B+</strong></span></p><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/WahooMcDaniel.jpg</span><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/DustinRhodes.jpg</span></p><div style="text-align:right;"></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">[in another of those hidden camera segments, we are shown a locker room where </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Wahoo McDaniel</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> and </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Dustin Rhodes</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> are sitting side-by-side.

The WCW World Heavyweight title is on the line in a one fall or thirty minute time limit match. Sting is defending the title against Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat. Both men make their entrances, getting about half of the crowd on one side and the other half on the other side. The two men shake hands before the sound of the bell. Senior referee Nick Patrick is the referee for this contest. He calls for the bell and it's time to begin this World Heavyweight title match. The opening minute of the bout is a feeling out period for both men as neither goes for any high impact/high risk moves. Neither man wants to be the first to make a mistake in this contest. The two men end up at a vertical base once again and Steamboat takes an advantage with two straight arm drags and then a dropkick to Sting! Sting stands back up but staggers back into a corner. Steamboat moves in and strikes Sting with a few chops in the corner before a hip toss sends Sting to the mat. Steamboat plays to the crowd for a moment before locking in an armbar. Steamboat holds Sting down on the mat with the armbar as the crowd watches on. Sting fights his way up from the armbar and brings Steamboat back to the ropes. He Irish whips Steamboat across the ring -- shoulderblock brings Steamboat down. Sting bounces off the ropes and Steamboat drops down. As Sting jumps over Steamboat, The Dragon grabs his legs and trips him, spinning him over into a Boston crab. Steamboat stretches Sting in the center of the ring but Sting refuses to submit. Sting uses his power to drag Steamboat over to the ropes, grabbing the bottom rope to get the hold broken. Steamboat breaks almost immediately. Sting rolls out of the ring to catch a break for a moment. The WCW World Heavyweight Champion seems flustered by this onslaught by the challenger. Sting makes his way back into the ring and Steamboat maintains his advantage. The match moves ahead and nearing the ten minute mark, The Dragon leaps and catches Sting in a crucifix style pin:]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [....1....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ....2....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ..Kickout!]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [We came about half a count away from crowning a new WCW World Heavyweight Champion ten minutes into the contest. The Dragon gets to his feet and decides to take a high risk, heading for the top turnbuckle. When Ricky Steamboat reaches the top, Sting pulls himself up and trips Steamboat, crotching the challenger on the top turnbuckle. Sting climbs up and throws a couple of punches and a headbutt to Steamboat before hooking him and bringing him over in a Superplex! What a move by the champion! Both men are slow to get to their feet but Sting reaches his feet first. He bounces off the ropes and takes down Steamboat with a clothesline. Sting leaps and catches Steamboat with a leaping elbowdrop. The man called Sting releases a howl, getting the crowd involved even more in this contest. Sting pulls up Steamboat and Irish whips him into the corner. Sting backs into the opposite corner and then charges -- Stinger Splash! The Stinger Splash hits Steamboat in the corner! Fifteen minutes in now as Steamboat drops to the mat. Sting grabs the legs of Steamboat and begins turning him over, locking in the Scorpion Deathlock! But he doesn't manage to keep the hold on for long as Steamboat quickly grabs the ropes to break the hold. Sting looks a little frustrated as he gets to his feet, dragging Steamboat out to the center of the ring. Sting heads to the top turnbuckle, looking down toward the fallen Steamboat. The man called Sting leaps with a flying elbowdrop but Steamboat rolls out of the way! Sting strikes nothing but the mat and The Dragon uses the ropes to pull himself up. As we near the twenty minute mark, Steamboat pulls up Sting and brings him down with a swinging neckbreaker before heading to the top turnbuckle. Sting slowly makes his way to his feet as Steamboat remains perched on the top turnbuckle. Sting turns to Steamboat -- Diving Cross Body! Steamboat lands on top of Sting, hooking the leg:]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [....1....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ....2....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ....Shoulder Up!]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [The crowd is in shock when Sting gets the shoulder up!

Sting bounces off the ropes and catches Steamboat with multiple clotheslines. He grabs Steamboat by the arm and Irish whips him into a corner. Sting follows in with a Stinger Splash! Sting keeps Steamboat upright and then Irish whips him across to the other side. Sting follows in with another Stinger Splash! Sting lifts Steamboat up, turning him upside down -- Tombstone Piledriver! Steamboat is planted in the center of the ring on his head. Sting takes a deep breath and then makes the cover: One, Two, Shoulder Up! Steamboat gets the shoulder up following the Tombstone! Sting slams his hands on the mat in frustration. Then he picks up Steamboat and turns him upside down one more time: Tombstone Piledriver!

He is handed the WCW World Heavyweight title by referee Nick Patrick and he raises it up, getting cheers from the audience here in Oklahoma City and around the world watching at home. Steamboat is slowly recovering on the mat. Sting slowly walks over and reaches down, helping The Dragon to his feet. The two men stare each other down for a moment before Sting offers his hand to Steamboat. Steamboat stares at the hand for a moment as the crowd tells him to take it. Then Steamboat shakes hands with Sting and he raises the WCW World Heavyweight Champion's arm. Steamboat nods to Sting and then drops down, rolling out of the ring and heading toward the back. Sting continues his celebration inside the ring. What a main event! What a show we had for you this evening!

This week, the show comes to you from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina! What a main event we have for you. In a match to determine one of the four members of the Ultimate Sacrifice Match at SuperBrawl: Crossroads, we have </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Ric Flair</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> taking on </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Scott Steiner</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. Steiner has been forced into singles action as his brother was injured during the War Games match at WrestleWar. Can he make it to the ultimate match at SuperBrawl and contend for the WCW World Heavyweight title? Make sure you tune in to find out!</span><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -Speaking of the Ultimate Sacrifice match, we will also have another match to kick off the show to determine another member of that match. In this play-in match, we will see </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Rick Rude</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> take on 'The Natural' </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Dustin Rhodes</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. Rude definitely has the veteran's advantage over Rhodes but Rhodes has been around the wrestling scene all his life. Can he use some of the experience of his father to offset the experience advantage of Rude? Will Rude get another shot at the title? What will any of these men be willing to sacrifice in that match?</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -We will also see the WCW Saturday Night debut of </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Oz</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. This magician was found by </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Kevin Sullivan</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> by following the yellow brick road. This match will be tag team action as Oz and Sullivan team together to take on </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>The Lightning Express</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. Can the speed of Brad Armstrong and Tim Horner fight off the sheer power of Oz and the cunning of Kevin Sullivan?</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -We were, also, told last week by </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Eric Bischoff</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> that he would have a special surprise in store for </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Ricky Steamboat</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> after Steamboat lost to Sting last week.

<p>Rick Rude - <em>Dustin just isn't there yet. Give him a few months for seasoning and he may be ready for Rick.</em></p><p>

Rockin' Robin - <em>Robin was pretty rockin' in 1991. That one piece, daaaamn.</em></p><p>

Owen Hart - <em>I'm assuming that Parka is on a short term type contract, coming in to make some people look good.</em></p><p>

Arn and Tully - <em>Easy pick up win for one of the greatest teams of all time.</em></p><p>

Sullivan and Oz - <em>Now you just need to sign a woman to make them a trio, who will play The Wicked Witch of New York.</em></p><p>

Keith Hart - <em>Either Hart gets the win here or else this is a match where some monster heel comes out and destroys both of them.</em></p><p>

Ric Flair - <em>I can't see Ric not being involved in the World title match there.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Eric's surprise is Ricky being placed into the US title match.</p>

Thanks for the predictions and comments. Scott Steiner was due for a push at this point in real life. He was actually meant to win the World title when he faced Flair at the Clash in real life but he declined the title because he worried about what would happen to his brother if he took a singles push. Now, if Rick had gotten injured in real life as he did here...</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> I have definitely had some thoughts about a Ricky Steamboat heel turn in the past. I just don't know if I can ever pull the trigger on that. I know that he was trained in the art of working as a heel. But he is such the quintessential babyface performer. Steamboat and Sting, to me, are the two men I'm not so sure could have ever worked as a heel.</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Zergon" data-cite="Zergon" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>10 Minute Time Limit Match<p> George South vs. <strong>Keith Hart</strong></p><p> Comments: <em>Zero idea what wíll happen here (I´m half expecting draw with someone destroying both guys though) but I go with Keith mainly because he´s Hart and with Owen having a title run there might be some potential for somekind of storyline with him and Keith down the line. </em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">Hey Zergon! Thanks for the predictions and comments! I can definitely admit that the George South/Keith Hart match could be looked at as a bathroom break match. Every card needs one of those, though.

We are, also, shown Sting and Steamboat embracing at the end of the show. What a match that was last week and now we have some great matches for you here on WCW Power Hour!</span><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, The Smooth Operators(A-C, E-C) defeated The State Patrol(L-E+, S-D+) in 6:18 when Eddie Guerrero defeated Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker by pinfall with a Brainbuster...C-</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -A video begins to play that focuses on the sidewalk that we saw a couple of weeks ago here on the Power Hour. The sound of someone stepping again and again can be heard. This time, the camera lifts to show exactly who it is that's walking. That man is none other than veteran wrestler </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Chuck O'Connor</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">, known in the WWF as Big John Studd! O'Connor growls down at the camera and then slams a big fist against the camera, sending it smashing down to the ground. The screen turns to snow and a voiceover lets us know that Chuck O'Connor will be debuting on WCW Power Hour next week.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -In a bout that had terrible wrestling and non-existent crowd heat, Madusa Miceli(D) defeated Akira Hokuto(E+) in 6:22 by pinfall with a Bridging German Suplex...D</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -Following her victory, </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Madusa Miceli</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> celebrates inside the ring. She picks up a microphone and announces that women's wrestling is coming to World Championship Wrestling. This is going to be the place where the big girls come to fight. She says that she will be the very first WCW World Women's champion! She challenges women from all around the world to come and fight here in WCW and prove themselves inside this ring. She ends the promo by saying that she welcomes each and every challenge.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -We are taken to a pre-taped promo with </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Michael Hayes</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. The Freebird begins taunting Kevin Von Erich by saying that he'll never live up to his family's legacy. Hayes says that Kevin will just be a footnote in the history of professional wrestling. But if Von Erich wants a rematch then he's more than happy to end Kevin's career before it starts. He challenges Von Erich to meet him right here on WCW Power Hour next week where he will reveal the stipulation that he has decided upon. But he will understand if Kevin chickens out because it takes a real man to take a walk down Badstreet, U.S.A.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and non-existent crowd heat, Owen Hart© defeated George South(E+) in 5:42 by pinfall with a Missile Dropkick.

The ceremonial headdress is seated on the floor beside him and he begins the promo by saying that he has been looking up and down the roster here in WCW. He has been looking for anyone that he thinks can step in the ring and give him a challenge in the match. The truth that he has come to has been that there is no one in WCW that can step into Vader time. He says he will be there tomorrow night on WCW Saturday Night to see if anyone thinks that they can match with the man they call Vader! Vader throws up the 'V' sign and we move back to the ring.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Larry Zbyszko(B-) and Bobby Eaton(C+) defeated The Young Pistols(S-D, T-C-) in 10:24 when Bobby Eaton defeated Steve Armstrong by pinfall with an Alabama Jam...B-</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -As the WCW Power Hour comes to a close, we are taken to a pre-recorded promo with </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Ric Flair</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. The Nature Boy is seated by an indoor pool dressed in his swim trunks, leaning back on the lounger. Flair says that tomorrow night Scott Steiner is going to have to walk that aisle against the very best that WCW has to offer. Flair says that Steiner wouldn't be in the main event if he wasn't facing The Nature Boy. He says that Steiner is not even close to being in the same league as the limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling, dealing son of a gun! Whoooo! He says that the bottom line is that tomorrow night begins his road to the Ultimate Sacrifice and regaining his WCW World Heavyweight title. Scott Steiner, to be the man, you have to beat the man and you are looking at the man. Whoooo! Flair closes his eyes and leans back as the credits show at the bottom of the screen and we fade to black.</span></p><p></p></div></div><div></div></blockquote></div><p></p>

He tells them to hit his music and hands the microphone over to Dangerously. Rude slides off his robe and swivels his hips to boos from this audience tonight. Dangerously says that in just a few moments Dustin Rhodes is going to learn that having a famous father doesn't mean that you are going to be a legend like he has been.

The opening moments of the bout begin with some back and forth between these two wrestlers, showing that Rhodes is able to keep up with Rude for the first minute of the contest. Rhodes brings Rude down with a hip toss and then he bounces off the ropes and is tripped by Paul E. Dangerously! Rude is up and quickly and goes right after The Natural. Rude plants Rhodes in the center of the ring with a backbreaker and makes a cover, scoring barely a two count before Rhodes kicks out. For the next several minutes, Rude continues his assault on Rhodes, focusing on the back and neck area of the second generation wrestler. Dangerously gets the attention of the referee and Rude throws Rhodes over the top rope to the floor, an automatic DQ if the referee had seen it happen. Rude exits the ring and throws several punches to Rhodes before Irish whipping him into the guardrail. Rude walks over and grabs Rhodes, tossing him back into the ring. Rude joins Rhodes in the ring and gives him an Irish whip into the corner. Rude stands there and swivels his hips. Then he rushes toward Rhodes and Rhodes gets a boot up! Rude staggers backward and Rhodes rushes in, catching Rude with a bionic elbow! Rhodes plays to the crowd and picks up Rude. He sends Rude to the ropes and catches him with a spinning side slam! He makes a cover, scoring a two count. Rhodes signals for the Bulldog, picking up Rude and moving back in the corner.

Make sure you tune in to this promotion where you can see WCW wrestlers such as Allen Iron Eagle, El Gigante, Harley Race and newly signed veteran wrestlers Terry Funk and Dory Funk, Jr. Then, Solie turns the attention to SuperBrawl: Crossroads. They have been talking about the upcoming World Tag Team titles match featuring Doom defending against Anderson & Blanchard, The Rock 'N' Roll Express and announcing this team. The video turns to an interview with the returning </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Fantastics</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">! Tommy Rogers and Bobby Fulton begin by talking about how great it is to be back in WCW. They talk about this being the best promotion in the United States and in the world. They discuss being former United States Tag Team Champions, beating teams like the Midnight Express. But they have never been the WCW World Tag Team Champions. Bobby Fulton says that they know that this is going to be a wild match, facing off with three other teams. But, Tommy Rogers adds, none of those teams are as good as The Fantastics. Rogers says that they are going to live up to their name at SuperBrawl.

Blanchard tosses Atlantis out of the ring and in comes Octagon but the referee steps in to stop Octagon.

Luger will be defending the belt against 'The Russian Nightmare' Nikita Koloff, 'Psycho' Sid Vicious and 'Dangerous' Dan Spivey.

We cut to a video featuring </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Lex Luger</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> standing in front of a WCW background. Luger says that he made a big mistake when he trusted Nikita Koloff to come in and watch his back. He says he should have known better than to trust a Russian. But you cannot trust anyone in this business, especially when you are a champion. Luger says that he understands that now but in a few weeks he has to focus on three challengers, including Koloff. There's Koloff, Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey. All three of those men are violent wrestlers but, Luger says, there is a reason they call him the Total Package.

He says that he came out here to tell Sting that he's only keeping that title warm for Ravishing Rick Rude, the best talent in WCW. Sting asks him if that is so. Rude says it is and then Sting says that the rules of the Ultimate Sacrifice match state that everyone must put something up for grabs. He asks Rude what he's putting up in this match. Rude smiles and says that it doesn't really matter what he puts up because he is not going to be pinned or forced to submit. But, for your information, Sting, Rude has decided to put up his hair in that match. If he loses, someone will get to shave the head of Ravishing Rick Rude. Sting smiles and says that he cannot wait to see a bald Rick Rude. 'Bald Rick Rude' becomes a chant through the crowd, upsetting Rude. The angered Rude throws a punch to Sting! Sting fires back! The two men exchange punches in the center of the ring and Rude only gains momentum when Paul E. Dangerously strikes Sting in the back of the head with his cell phone! Rude kicks Sting between the legs and then -- Rude Awakening! The neckbreaker brings Sting down to the mat and Rude picks up the fallen WCW World Heavyweight title belt.

Flair backs Steiner to the ropes and then sends him across to the other side. Steiner brings down Flair with a shoulderblock. He bounces off the ropes and leaps over Flair and then ducks a clothesline before coming back with a Steiner-Line! The crowd cheers as Flair pops back up to his feet and takes a second Steiner-Line in a row! Flair pops up a second time and rushes Steiner but Steiner catches him around the waist -- Overhead Belly-To-Belly Suplex! Flair rolls out of the ring to stop the momentum, pacing and asking for a timeout but there's no timeouts in professional wrestling! Flair gets back in the ring before the ten count and locks up with Steiner again. Steiner backs Flair toward the corner but Flair turns things at the last moment, leaning into Steiner in the corner. Flair slowly begins to pull back and then laces Steiner's chest with a knife-edge chop! A second one! A third one has Steiner staggering out of the corner. Flair drops down and clips the back of the knee of Scott Steiner. The Nature Boy focuses his attention on the left knee of Steiner with a few stomps and then he drags Steiner over into the corner. He exits the ring and brings Steiner to the corner, blasting his knee against the ring post! The crowd boos as Flair struts outside the ring. Flair re-enters the ring and continues his assault on Steiner. As we near the ten minute mark in the match, Flair goes for the Figure Four Leglock but Steiner turns it into a small package:]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [....1....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ....2....</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ..Kickout!]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [With ten minutes gone, Ric Flair continues his assault on the left knee of Scott Steiner. Flair places the knee over the bottom rope and then leaps, coming down with a seated senton on that knee. Steiner grabs the knee, calling out in pain. Flair picks up Steiner and drops him in the center of the ring with a shinbreaker. Flair bounces off the ropes -- Running Jumping Knee Drop! Flair makes a cover: One, Two, Kickout! Flair argues with the referee, saying that it should have been a three count but it was only two. Flair turns his attention back to Steiner and locks him in a rear chinlock. The crowd begins clapping and stomping their feet to get behind Steiner. Steiner gets a second wind from the crowd and begins working his way to his feet. He catches Flair with two elbow shots to the gut and then brings him over in a belly-to-back suplex! Both men lie on the mat as the referee begins the ten count. Both men make their feet before the count of ten and Steiner throws several punches, staggering Flair back into the corner. Steiner Irish whips Flair to the other side and Flair flips up and over the turnbuckle, landing on the apron. Flair rushes across and gets to the top turnbuckle where he is met by Steiner. Steiner grabs Flair as Flair cries out 'NOOOOOO!' Steiner sends Flair to the mat with a slam and then grabs the knee, in obvious pain. JR questions whether or not Steiner can even do the Frankensteiner with that hurt knee. Steiner catches Flair with a Steiner-Line as Flair gets back up. He picks up Flair and sends him to the ropes -- Tilt-A-Whirl Slam! Steiner makes a cover but only gets a two count. He hooks Flair in an underhook position -- Double Underhook Power Bomb! Steiner presses Flair's shoulders on the mat: One, Two, Kickout! So close to a big win by Scott Steiner! Steiner calls for the Frankensteiner, yanking Flair to his feet. He sends Flair to the ropes but Flair holds on to the top rope, stopping the momentum. Steiner walks toward Flair and Flair moves in, shoving Steiner! Steiner collides with the referee, sending referee Tommy Young to the mat. Flair motions toward the back and here comes Barry Windham of the Horsemen! Windham enters the ring, adjusting the black glove on his right hand. He waits for Steiner to get to his feet -- Loaded Punch! The punch sends Steiner crashing to the mat. Steiner looks like he might be out! Windham helps Flair to his feet and then exits the ring, shaking the referee. Flair smiles and struts before locking Scott Steiner in the Figure Four Leglock! After about thirty seconds, the referee checks Steiner and then calls for the bell. Ric Flair is headed to the Ultimate Sacrifice Match at SuperBrawl: Crossroads!]</span></em></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Winner: Ric Flair (Via Submission @ 23:27)</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong> Match Rating: B</strong></span></p><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RickySteamboat.jpg</span></p><div style="text-align:right;"></div><p> <span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/EricBischoff.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">[When the ring is cleared, the fans cheer as out from the back comes </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">! Steamboat high fives the fans in the front row on his way down to the ring. He rolls inside the ring and then climbs to the second turnbuckle, playing to the crowd, getting loud cheers from this audience in Greensboro. Steamboat asks for and is given a microphone. He begins by thanking Sting for giving him a World title match last week on WCW Saturday Night. He says that he gave it everything that he had in that match but it just wasn't enough. He says that Sting is truly a worthy World Heavyweight Champion. But now he is turning his attention to tonight. He says that he was promised a surprise this evening and he has come to the ring to find out what that surprise is. The fans give a decent reaction as WCW Executive Vice President </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Eric Bischoff</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> walks down to the ring and steps inside. Bischoff shakes hands with Steamboat and tells the fans to give it up for The Dragon. He says that the match last week against Sting was one of the highest rated matches in WCW history. He says he wants to keep that going because he loves each and every one of you. He says that his surprise for Ricky Steamboat is that Steamboat is going to be involved in a Best-Of-Seven match series during the coming weeks here on our WCW programming. He says that the winner of this series will be granted a future WCW World Heavyweight title shot. He says that Steamboat has earned this match series but that he wanted to choose an opponent that can equal what Steamboat produces in the ring. He says that Steamboat's opponent in this series is here tonight so without further ado, here is Ricky Steamboat's opponent. 'Pomp And Circumstances' begins to play and the crowd stands on their feet. Shock echoes through the announcers and the fans as the music plays. Could it be? Is it possible that he has come to WCW?]</span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RandySavage.jpg</span><span>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/MissElizabeth.jpg</span></p><div style="text-align:right;"></div><p></p><p></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></em></p><p><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> [The crowd goes wild as 'The Macho Man' </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Randy Savage</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> and </span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Miss Elizabeth</strong></span></em><em><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> walk out from the back. The last time that Savage was seen, he was up in that promotion up north, along with Sensational Queen Sherri. Now he is back with Miss Elizabeth! Savage and Elizabeth get to the ring and Savage holds the ropes open for his wife. Elizabeth climbs in the ring and Savage steps in after her, looking across toward Ricky Steamboat. Even Steamboat is in shock right now. The Macho Man gives a smile and asks for a microphone. He receives the microphone and looks across toward Steamboat, telling him to freak out, freak out, freak out because The Macho Man is officially in World Championship Wrestling, dig it? Savage says that the reason he came to WCW was twofold. The first reason is that he gets to step inside the ring once again with this man that's in the ring with him, Ricky Steamboat. The second reason is to become the very best in the business and that means becoming the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Ohhhhh yeah, dig it? But, Savage says, he is not going to take the low road to do this. He says that he plans to prove that he is the best wrestler inside the ring and out. The Macho Man offers a handshake to Ricky Steamboat. Steamboat hesitates but gets some encouragement from Miss Elizabeth. Steamboat says that this is not what he expected tonight. But if Savage means what he says then the two of them can light up the ring in the best of seven series. Steamboat takes the hand of Savage. The handshake is cordial and then released as 'Pomp And Circumstances' begins to play again. Savage plays to the crowd, lifting Miss Elizabeth on his shoulder. Savage and Steamboat play to the crowd together as WCW Saturday Night comes to a close. What a huge development!

I was definitely excited to sign Chuck O'Connor as a brand new big man for WCW. I did my research on him and realized that he is a WCW Hall of Famer and spent a bunch of time in MACW. I know him, mostly, from his time in WWF. He is a pretty good big man. I definitely know that and I definitely have some plans for him on the Power Hour.</span></p>

And, just for an FYI for everyone, Chuck O'Connor(Big John Studd) is a heel. Avalanche and Savage are both coming in as faces.</span></p>

Hey horseman4lyfe! Thanks for the predictions and comments. Glad that you're enjoying the return of Chuck O'Connor aka Big John Studd. He is definitely someone that can help build some of my younger wrestlers and give some of the veterans a run for their money. As far as The Great Muta returning to WCW? All I can say is wait and see and I just might make you happy at one point. Will it be this week on WCW Saturday Night? Tune in and find out. ;)

 

My own Beagle is currently bombing up and down my lounge with her Kong toy.

 

Hey Nobby_McDonald. Those Kong toys are lies! They were not indestructible to my boxer. LOL. So does the Beagle make predictions? :D

Bull Nakano and Debbie Combs vs. Team America (Misty Blue and Heidi Lee Morgan)

Comments: No idea here so just going with the named team.

 

TV Time Remaining Match

The Dangerous Alliance (Rick Rude, Larry Zbyszko and Bobby Eaton) vs. Brian Pillman, Sting and Lex Luger

Comments: Face side feels slighly stronger to me but this could also be a good spot to give Rude one over Sting plus there is always a a chance that one of Luger´s opponent´s will interfere and take him out from this match... I´m actually going to go with Dangerous Alliance on here but this is a close one.

Hayes takes the microphone and says that he took a long walk down Badstreet in Atlanta, Georgia to come up with the stipulation for his match with that evil Von Erich. He calls out Kevin and from the back comes </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Kevin Von Erich</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">. Von Erich enters the ring and goes nose-to-nose with Hayes for a moment before backing off and motioning to Hayes to continue. Hayes announces that their match at SuperBrawl: Crossroads will be a Badstreet Strap Match! He says that he will explain about that. It will be a traditional strap match where the winner has to touch all four corners to be victorious. The difference comes in the fact that there will be lumberjacks surrounding the ring. The lumberjacks will be hand-picked by Hayes and Von Erich. Von Erich agrees to the stipulation and the two begin a fight that ends when Hayes kicks Von Erich between the legs. He drops Von Erich with the Freebird DDT before rolling out of the ring. He reaches underneath the ring and pulls out a leather strap! Hayes slides back in the ring and begins whipping Von Erich until the fun police come out and break things up.</span><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -The announcers put over the fact that we'll be seeing Windham and Flair vs. Sting and Lex Luger.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Bob Backlund(C+) defeated George South(E+) in 5:57 by submission with a Crossface Chickenwing...C</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -A pre-taped promo begins to play showcasing </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Paul E.

Dangerously says that they are one day away from this group of men stepping in the ring with Sting, Lex Luger and Brian Pillman. He says that anyone can see the weak link of that team and that is Brian Pillman. He says that all three of his men are looking forward to getting their hands on and grounding that flying gnat. Then Rick Rude wants to see the look on Sting's face when he is part of the losing team only eight days before defending his title in the Ultimate Sacrifice match. He adds that in eight days Rick Rude is going to conquer and vanquish all three opponents and become the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion. The camera focuses in on Rude flexing before we move to the ring.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -In a terrible match, Chuck O'Connor(D) defeated Mr. JL(E+) in 6:04 by submission with a Reverse Bearhug...D+</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -It is time for another edition of the Wrestling News Network!

Solie talks a lot about the brand new Cruiserweight division that is going to take place here in WCW. He talks about the fact that this division is going to revolutionize the business.

He ends the interview by claiming that he will be the first Cruiserweight champion because he is one of the top wrestlers of the 1990's. From there, we move to the ring for our main event.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -In a superb match, Sting(A*) and Lex Luger(C+) defeated Barry Windham(C+) and Ric Flair(A) in 18:12 when Barry Windham was disqualified when Arn Anderson ran in and attacked Sting...A</span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> -The main event ended when </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Arn Anderson</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"> ran in and attacked </span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;"><strong>Sting</strong></span><span style="font-family:TAHOMA;">.

Thanks for the predictions and comments. I can definitely agree that the main event is a close one between the two teams. Without giving anything away, I think most people would agree that the two weak links in the bout would be Bobby Eaton for the Dangerous Alliance and Brian Pillman for the team of Pillman, Sting and Luger. It could come down to which of these two perform better. Maybe. </span><img alt=";)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
