[The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia is the site for this episode of WCW Saturday Night. Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Magnum T.A. welcome everyone to the show and talk briefly about the six man tag main event this evening before we are brought to the ring and the arrival of one of the newest ladies in World Championship Wrestling, the veteran wrestler The Fabulous Moolah! Moolah gets a mixed reaction from this crowd as she walks down to the ring wearing a cape on her back and her typical wrestling gear. She enters the ring and asks for a microphone. She looks around and shakes her head, telling the crowd that this is not the type of audience she is used to wrestling in front of. She says that a fabulous wrestler such as herself should be in front of an audience that can appreciate her talent. But she has come to WCW for one reason and one reason only and that is to become the WCW World Women's Champion. She has come to prove, once again, that she is the best by stepping on the necks of every single women's wrestler in this company. There's fly-by-night wrestlers like Malia Hosaka or Rockin' Robin. There's wrestlers that don't even deserve her attention like Madusa Miceli. She says that at the end of the day there is only one fabulous wrestler in this company and that is the Fabulous Moolah! She might have continued her insults but she is interrupted by some music playing.]

[it's Wendi Richter! The announcers talk about the long history between these two women. Richter high fives the fans on her way down to the ring with Moolah yelling at her from inside the ring. Moolah is telling her not to come down to the ring. She is telling her not to bother with these ignorant fans. Richter enters the ring and begins by saying that these fans are the ones who pay their salary. These fans are the ones that they need to show respect to. But then Moolah would know nothing about respect, would she? She doesn't respect the business and the women who bust their butts inside this ring each and every night to entertain the fans who pay their hard-earned money. The only thing that Moolah has any respect for is spiders, isn't that right, Moolah? Moolah says that she did her job and she would do it again. Richter claims that she will be the first WCW World Women's Champion cleanly. Moolah disagrees and says that she will be the first WCW World Women's Champion. The argument leads to a match set up for next week between Moolah and Richter. Richter throws in a stipulation for the match. The loser of the match will not be able to compete to become the first WCW World Women's Champion. Moolah agrees and says she will beat Richter like she has done before. Richter leaves the ring without any physicality being shown in this argument. Moolah leaves shortly after.]

Winner Moves On To The Ultimate Sacrifice Match At SuperBrawl: Crossroads
15 Minute Time Limit Match
Buddy Landel vs. Bob Backlund

[The opening contest here tonight is to determine the final wrestler in the Ultimate Sacrifice match at SuperBrawl: Crossroads. This is a very solid technical bout between these two wrestlers that has a lot of mat wrestling. Early in the bout, Backlund catches Landel with an atomic drop and then a clothesline to the back of the head. Backlund climbs to the second turnbuckle and goes for a diving knee drop but Landel rolls out of the way and Backlund's knee crashes on the mat. Landel goes right after the knee, brutalizing the knee in the way that only a Nature Boy can. Landel goes for the Figure Four but Backlund rolls him into a small package that only gets a two count when Landel kicks out. Landel gets right up and goes right back for the knee of Backlund, stomping on it and then locking in a kneebar. Backlund shakes his head, refusing to submit. Landel eventually releases the hold and lifts Backlund into a corner. He hits knife-edge chops on Backlund's chest and Backlund staggers out of the corner in pain. Landel kicks Backlund in the gut and goes for a vertical suplex but Backlund blocks the suplex. He lifts Landel instead and brings him over in a snap suplex before grabbing his knee in pain. Landel crawls into a corner and reaches into his trunks, pulling out a chain. He wraps the chain around his fist and huddles in the corner, waiting for Backlund. Backlund is slow to get to his feet. He stands in the center of the ring and Landel moves over, throwing a punch but Backlund ducks the punch. He wraps his arms around Landel and pushes him into the ropes, bringing him over in a roll-up that sends the chain flying out of the ring: One, Two, Three! Bob Backlund advances to the Ultimate Sacrifice match!]

Winner: Bob Backlund (Via Pinfall @ 12:23)

[The interview stage is shown following the replay of Backlund's victory. Dusty Rhodes is standing by with the winner of that bout, Bob Backlund. Rhodes congratulates Backlund on the victory and going to the pay window but says that now he must enter the Ultimate Sacrifice match and make a decision on what he is willing to give up if he gets pinned or forced to submit. Backlund says that he plans on going into that match and winning the match so he doesn't have to worry about sacrificing anything. However, he has been thinking about what he has that's important to him to put on the line in this contest. He has come to the decision that if he gets pinned or forced to submit, he will retire from professional wrestling forever. That person will get his career. But, he says, he cannot go into a match thinking he is going to lose. He says he has a lot of respect for the other three men in the contest. However, he knows that he can beat them. But anything can happen when you have four men in the ring together. Rhodes says that he knows that's a big test of faith in putting your career on the line. He wishes Backlund all the luck in the world in eight days when he steps into the Ultimate Sacrifice match. With that, he sends things up to the ring announcer for our next contest.]

10 Minute Time Limit Match
The Royal Family vs. The Fantastics

[Our next contest is tag team action as The Royal Family step into the ring to take on The Fantastics. This is Bobby Fulton and Tommy Roger's first match back here in WCW and they look great against the team of Rip Morgan and Jack Victory. Jack Victory was definitely the weak link on his tag team and he is forced in the ring most of the time against a dominating Fantastics team. Bobby Fulton scores a near-victory when he catches Victory with a diving elbow drop off the top turnbuckle. But he only scores a two count on the ensuing pinfall. He tags in Tommy Rogers and Rogers keeps the fast pace going, knocking Rip Morgan off the apron and then catching Victory with a dropkick. He focuses on Victory, catching him with the move known as The Tomikaze. It is a reverse double underhook facebuster created by Tommy Rogers himself. With Victory planted on the mat, he tags in Fulton and Fulton heads for the top turnbuckle. Rogers stands in the corner, grabbing the hands of Fulton and they catch Victory with the Fantastic Flip, an assisted somersault senton bomb! Fulton makes the cover, hooking the leg: One, Two, Three! The Fantastics look great in picking up the win eight days before they compete for the WCW World Tag Team titles!]

Winners: The Fantastics (Via Pinfall @ 5:59)

[it is time, once again, for the Wrestling News Network hosted by Gordon Solie! Solie talks about this being the Wrestling NEWS Network but he has heard a rumor going around backstage that he feels he must address here tonight. There is a rumor that Eric Bischoff is working on a brand new show featuring WCW wrestlers to debut after SuperBrawl this year. He says that as far as he knows the rumors are, indeed, accurate. He says that he has been informed that, next week, we will hear a major announcement from Eric Bischoff regarding this and a decision that Bischoff claims will change the entire wrestling landscape. He says that he knows that everyone will be looking forward to that. Bischoff's last announcement was the advent of the Crossroads matches at SuperBrawl and the Ultimate Sacrifice match in the main event. Speaking of The Ultimate Sacrifice match, we know that Sting will put up the WCW World Heavyweight title, Rick Rude will put up his hair and Bob Backlund will put up his career. But we do not know what Ric Flair will put up in this contest. Perhaps we will find out now as Solie sends us to a pre-taped interview with The Nature Boy.]

[Ric Flair is shown in front of a WCW logo background. He says that the WCW Executive Vice President Eric Bischoff has given him this time to speak about the Ultimate Sacrifice match at SuperBrawl. He says that Bischoff told him that he has to name what he is putting up in this match. He says that he has a lot of things that he has that other people might want. He lives in a big house on the big side of town. He has custom made clothes, Rolex watches, alligator shoes that cost more than what most people make in a year. But there is one thing that is more precious to him than all of that. He says that he is putting on the line the survival of the Four Horsemen in WCW. If he is pinned or submits, the Four Horsemen will be disbanded as a unit. But that's not going to happen because those three men are going to have to walk that aisle against the best wrestler in the business. They will have to face the limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling, dealing son of a gun. Ric Flair says he's the best wrestler in the business today. He's better than Sting. He's better than Bob Backlund. He's even better than Rick Rude. He says that he will prove it in eight days when he becomes the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Whoooo!]

10 Minute Time Limit Match
Ric Flair vs. Atlantis

[Our third match this evening features the man we just heard from in The Nature Boy Ric Flair taking on the high flying luchador Atlantis. Atlantis is a seven year pro and it shows in the early going against Flair. He catches Flair with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker early on in the match, scoring a one count before Flair kicks out. Flair rolls out of the ring to take a breather but a breather is not something that can be had outside the ring against a luchador. Atlantis bounces off the ropes and goes for a Pescado but Flair moves out of the way and Atlantis lands hard on the mats at ringside. He grabs his knee, having twisted it on the fall and Flair pulls up Atlantis, going to work on the knee outside the ring and then inside the ring. Flair shoves Atlantis back into a corner and lights up his chest with those hard knife-edge chops. After three, Atlantis staggers out of the corner and Flair hits a chop block to the knee, bringing Atlantis to the mat. Flair grabs the legs and locks in the Figure Four Leglock in the center of the ring. The masked luchador tries to fight through the pain. The crowd tries to get behind him but he is forced to submit, giving The Nature Boy the win.]

Winner: Ric Flair (Via Submission @ 5:32)

[Just like last week, a video is shown promoting the WCW debut of the team known as The Miracle Violence Connection. The man known as Dr. Death is shown hitting a Doctor Bomb on a Japanese wrestler, slamming him down to the mat. Terry Bam Bam Gordy is shown hitting another Japanese wrestler with a high angle belly-to-back suplex. These two men are shown giving a promo, talking about how they dominated the Japanese wrestling scene but it's time to come back to America. They say that they are coming back to the top wrestling promotion in America when they come to WCW. They reiterate that it doesn't matter who the WCW World Tag Team Champions are when they come to this company. They will dominate each and every team in America just like they have done in Japan. A voiceover says that that this team will make their American debut in two weeks right here on WCW Saturday Night. With that, we move back to the ring for our next contest.]

10 Minute Time Limit Match
Barry Windham vs. Wahoo McDaniel

[The fourth match of the evening is a match that could be a main event anywhere in the United States as Barry Windham of the Four Horsemen takes on the Native American Wahoo McDaniel. McDaniel is putting his headdress down in his corner when Windham rushes over and attacks Wahoo. He rams McDaniel's head in the corner and then brings him down with a body slam. Windham picks up the headdress and puts it on his head, dancing around the ring and mocking McDaniel. He takes off the headdress and puts it in the mouth of McDaniel, choking him with it. The referee warns Windham and removes the headdress from the ring. The crowd begins a chant of 'Wahoo, Wahoo!' Three minutes into the match, Windham goes for a German Suplex but McDaniel blocks it and spins around. He tosses Windham with a release German Suplex of his own. McDaniel begins a war dance around the ring, chopping down Windham when Windham gets to his feet. He picks up Windham and lifts him on his shoulders but Windham struggles and falls behind McDaniel. He spins McDaniel around and brings him down with a lariat. Windham picks up McDaniel and brings him to a corner. He lifts McDaniel up on the top turnbuckle and then climbs up -- Superplex! Windham floats over into a cover, hooking the leg: One, Two, Three!]

Winner: Barry Windham (Via Pinfall @ 6:14)

[Once the ring is cleared, Owen Hart makes his way out to the ring. He high fives the fans in the front row before he enters the ring and is given a microphone. Hart says that he has been representing WCW as the World Television Champion for a month. He says that he has defended this belt against anyone and everyone that has wanted a match. So he has decided to put an open challenge in the back for a match against him tonight. He says that he takes pride in being trained in the Dungeon in Canada. He says that some of the best wrestlers in the world were trained in that Dungeon. He says that wrestlers like Superstar Billy Graham and Greg Valentine are among the graduates of the Dungeon. Not to mention all of his brothers, of course. So the time for talking has come to an end. He invites the person who signed his open challenge to come out and meet him in the ring and get their shot at the WCW World Television title. There is silence for a moment and then someone comes out that Owen does not expect.]

WCW World Television Title Match
10 Minute Time Limit Match
Owen Hart defends vs. Keith Hart

[That someone is his older brother Keith Hart. Keith enters the ring and shakes hands and hugs his brother as the referee shows them both the WCW World Television title. The bell sounds and Keith goes for one more hug with his brother. But he turns that into a belly-to-belly suplex! Keith makes the cover: One, Two, Kickout! Almost a new champion in the very first minute of this contest. This contest goes back and forth within the first two minutes of the contest. The older Hart catches his brother with a couple of European Uppercuts, knocking him back into a corner. Keith Irish whips Owen across the ring and then charges after him -- Owen catches Keith with a body scissors. He twists that into a rollup, scoring a two count on his brother. Owen gets to his feet first and catches Keith with a kick to the head and then a standing enzuigiri that brings Keith back down to the mat. Owen lifts Keith and brings him over with a gutwrench suplex and then heads to the top turnbuckle. He waits for his older brother to reach his feet -- Missile Dropkick! He connects on Keith with his finisher and makes the cover: One, Two, Three! Another successful title defense by Owen Hart!]

[A video begins that takes place inside of a large mansion. Sitting in front of a desk is the lovely Alexandra York. She has a brand new laptop and seems to be inputting information into the computer. After all, her men have a title defense in eight days against three other tag teams. A door opens in the background revealing a towel-clad Sid Vicious. Vicious walks over to where York is sitting and gives her a kiss on the back of the head. He tells her that in eight days they will not just have the United States Tag Team titles, they will also have the United States title when he beats those three other men. York says she knows that he is going to win the title because he's going to have the help of the laptop computer. From another door, in comes Michael Wallstreet. He gives an angered look toward Sid Vicious and Alexandra York. He tells Vicious that he needs to stop distracting Alexandra York. She needs to finish inputting the information into the computer so that they make sure the York Foundation keeps the United States Tag Team titles. Vicious says that Wallstreet is just jealous because York wants him. He says that he's better than Wallstreet could ever be. Wallstreet begins approaching Vicious, seemingly ready to fight. York stands up between the two men and tells them both to grow up. She grabs her laptop and walks away from the scene. Wallstreet and Vicious stare at each other and Wallstreet tells Vicious not to distract York or there will be trouble. The scene ends with a staredown between the two York Foundation members.]

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

[it's women tag team action this evening as Bull Nakano teams with Debbie Combs against the team of Misty Blue and Heidi Lee Morgan. All four women get some offense in during the match, showcasing the talent of WCW's Women's Division. Misty Blue hits Debbie Combs with a slingshot suplex early in the contest and might have scored a quick win if not for Bull Nakano coming in and breaking up the pinfall. Blue heads to the top turnbuckle and goes for the Misty Dive but Combs rolls out of the way and quickly tags in Nakano. A 'USA' chant gets loud in the arena as Nakano goes right after Blue. She chokes her on the middle rope for a four count from the referee before slingshotting her off the middle rope. Nakano goes over and knocks Heidi Lee Morgan off the apron with a forearm shot. Morgan quickly enters the ring but the referee cuts her off. In comes Debbie Combs and she and Nakano catch Blue with a double flapjack. Combs holds Blue down while Nakano heads for the top turnbuckle. Nakano leaps and lands on Blue with the diving guillotine legdrop! Nakano makes the cover: One, Two, Three!]

Winners: Bull Nakano and Debbie Combs (Via Pinfall @ 5:36)

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/Sting.jpg

[From the ring and women's action, we go to a pre-taped promo featuring one of the participants in our main event this evening, the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Sting! Sting is standing in front of a WCW background, bouncing on his heels as he is fired up as he usually is. He says that in eight days he is going to step inside the ring and face three other men where the only one he can trust to give him a clean match is Bob Backlund. He says that he has had his battles with Ric Flair in the past. He knows that Flair is the dirtiest player in the game. He knows what he's getting into with Flair. Then, there's Rick Rude along with that pipsqueak manager of his, Paul E. Dangerously. He says that he can expect Dangerously to get involved with his cell phone but he's ready for that. There's two other men who might feel the cell phone. He says that at SuperBrawl, he can admit that he doesn't want to end Bob Backlund's career. He says that he has a lot of respect for a legend of Bob Backlund's stature. That leaves him with dissolving the Horsemen or cutting Rick Rude's hair. He says that both of those are appealing to him. But, most importantly, he wants to walk away still the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. That means making sure that his shoulders are not pinned to the mat and that he is not put in a position to submit. He says that he knows he has the power of all the little Stingers in the audience. With them at his side, how can he lose? He says that in eight days he proves why he is the champ. He releases a howl and we go to the ring for our main event.]

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

[Our main event contest tonight is a six man tag team match and what a match this should be! After what the Dangerous Alliance had to say about him on WCW Power Hour, Brian Pillman tells his partners that he wants to start the match. He starts against The Living Legend Larry Zbyszko. Zbyszko taunts Pillman with an offer of a test of strength. Pillman accepts and then kicks Zbyszko in the gut to quickly break it off. He hits Zbyszko with a standing dropkick that knocks The Living Legend back in his corner. Zbyszko pulls himself up and moves to the center of the ring, locking up with Pillman. Pillman swings around Zbyszko and trips him to the mat. Pillman spins around and locks in a front facelock on the mat, trying to wear down Zbyszko. Zbyszko works his way around Pillman, releasing himself from the hold and locking a hammerlock on Pillman from behind. The two men work to their feet and Zbyszko shoves Pillman into the corner of the Dangerous Alliance. Zbyszko moves in and Pillman starts punching anything and everything that moves! He fights his way out of the wrong corner and drops Zbyszko with a spinning heel kick before he tags in Sting. Zbyszko quickly tags in Rude and Rick Rude goes face-to-face with the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Rude shoves Sting backward and Sting fires back with several right hands. He bounces off the ropes -- tripped by Paul E. Dangerously! The crowd boos but Rude goes right on Sting, working him over quickly in the corner of the Dangerous Alliance. Rude catches Sting with a forearm shot and then tags in Bobby Eaton. Eaton catches Sting with several kicks to the gut and then a swinging neckbreaker brings Sting to the mat. Eaton makes a cover but it is quickly broken up by Lex Luger. The Dangerous Alliance all begin taking turns to wear down Sting as he gets trapped in the wrong side of the ring, cut off from his partners. Rude catches Sting with a delayed backbreaker and shoves him to the mat. Rude stands and swivels his hips over the fallen Sting to boos from the crowd. Rude tags in Bobby Eaton and Eaton heads for the top turnbuckle. He takes aim at Sting and then leaps with the Alabama Jam -- Missed! Sting rolls out of the way! Eaton cries out in pain as the crowd gets solidly behind Sting. Both men begin crawling toward their corners. Beautiful Bobby tags in Larry Zbyszko but Sting tags in The Total Package Lex Luger!]

[The crowd here in the Omni goes crazy as Lex Luger enters the ring. He mows down Larry Zbyszko with three straight clotheslines. Zbyszko pops back up after the third one and rushes Luger -- Powerslam! Luger brings Zbyszko to the mat with his signature Powerslam! Luger makes the cover: One, Two, Broken Up By Bobby Eaton! Luger gets up and takes down Eaton with a clothesline. He turns around and Zbyszko catches him with a poke to the eye. Zbyszko goes for a Piledriver but Luger reverses it into a back body drop. Luger crawls over and tags in Brian Pillman! Pillman stands on the apron, waiting for Zbyszko to reach his feet. Zbyszko stands and Pillman springboards on the top rope for Air Pill -- NO! Zbyszko catches Pillman with a crescent kick instead! The crowd boos as Zbyszko tags in Rick Rude. Rude steps in and within moments a pier six brawl has broken out between all six men in the ring. The referee tries to regain control as Larry Zbyszko brawls with Sting, Bobby Eaton and Lex Luger spill out of the ring while fighting together and Rick Rude stands over a fallen Brian Pillman. Rude catches Pillman with an elbow drop and then stands up, looking down at the fallen body of the Cruiserweight. He pulls up Pillman and Pillman begins fighting back, throwing punches to Rude! Pillman catches Rude with a dropkick and then exits onto the apron. He calls for the Air Pillman but as he leaps to the top rope, Paul E. Dangerously strikes him in the back with the cellphone! Pillman spills to the mat and Rude moves in quickly -- Rude Awakening Neckbreaker! Rude makes a cover, hooking the leg:]

[When the ring and ringside area clear and following a commercial, the crowd cheers as 'Pomp And Circumstances' begins to play. Out from the back comes the man who made his WCW debut last week, 'The Macho Man' Randy Savage. He is accompanied to the ring by his wife and manager Miss Elizabeth. He holds the ropes open for Elizabeth and then follows her inside the ring. He asks for a microphone and stands in the center of the ring as a 'Savage' chant breaks out through the crowd here in the Omni. Savage begins the interview by saying that, since his arrival here in WCW, the sky is the limit for what he can do in this company. He says that his debut last week caused wrestling fans all over the world to freak out, freak out because the Macho Man has arrived in the best wrestling company in the business today. He says that he was given the opportunity to face off against a man that he respects more than any other man in the business today. He says that Ricky Steamboat is a man that earned his respect when they faced off in a match that so many people call the best match in the history of professional wrestling. That just means that he and Steamboat have to do whatever it takes to beat that match here in WCW. There will be a slight twist to the ending, though, because he plans to win the series and move forward to become the new WCW World Heavyweight champion. Ohhhh yeah, dig it! Before Savage can continue, he is interrupted by the playing of some very familiar music.]

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RicFlair.jpg

[The crowd shows definite anticipation as Ric Flair struts from the back and makes his way to the ring. He steps inside and looks across toward Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth with an arrogant smile. He asks for and receives a microphone. Flair says that he came out here to give a welcome to Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth to his company, WCW. He says that Savage won't find this place as easy to rise to the top as he did that other place up north. Flair says that this company brings out the very best in you. He says that when you walk that aisle to face someone of the talent of Ric Flair, you are going to face the very best. It is so hard to be humble when you're the Nature Boy. Savage just gives a wild smile and says 'Ric Flair. So this is the famous Nature Boy.' Savage says that he has a message for Ric Flair. Yeah. He says that Ric Flair is no longer the biggest fish in the biggest pond. He says that he is going to prove that he is the biggest fish here in WCW. Flair tells him to try it and when he's done and left lying on the mat, Miss Elizabeth can come to Charlotte and take a ride on Space Mountain. Whoooo. Flair's words incense Savage and Savage goes after Flair, throwing punches and knocking Flair back in a corner. Flair covers up, blocking some of the punches from Savage and manages to get a poke to the eye of Savage. He turns things around, shoving Savage back in the corner and then begins lighting him up with knife edge chops. Flair drags Savage from the corner and lifts him up, bringing him down in a shinbreaker. Flair grabs the legs of Savage, setting him up for the Figure Four as Miss Elizabeth watches in horror in the background. Someone comes sprinting from the back and slides inside the ring.]

[it's Ricky Steamboat! Steamboat meets Randy Savage in eight days at SuperBrawl: Crossroads in the beginning of their best of seven series. Steamboat enters the ring and Ric Flair motions toward Savage, offering Steamboat a free shot at his SuperBrawl opponent. Instead, Steamboat shoves Flair to the mat! The Dragon waits for Flair to get to his feet and Steamboat catches him with several chops before clotheslining Flair up and over the top rope to the floor. Steamboat has the crowd solidly in his corner as he stares down at The Nature Boy. Randy Savage is helped to his feet by Miss Elizabeth in the background. Steamboat turns and goes face-to-face with the Macho Man. The Macho Man begins talking to The Dragon, telling him that the two of them will go at it in eight days. Steamboat tells him that it's what he wants. Steamboat says that they are going to bring the house down at SuperBrawl. The announcers talk about time running out here on WCW Saturday Night. They will see you this Friday for WCW Power Hour and a huge weekend of WCW wrestling action. Plus Eric Bischoff will have a major announcement on WCW Saturday Night! Make sure you tune in next week! We'll see you then!]

Prediction Contest

Due to my wanting to make more long-term plans within the diary, I am making a change to the prediction contest from this point forward. Instead of every month as I did the first two months, I have decided to make the prediction contests last six months. This gives plenty of time for a lot of changes to be made at the top here. It also gives you a chance that if you miss a show it's not the end of your chance to win.

For those of you who might be new to my diaries and the way I handle prediction contests, here is a brief breakdown. The person or people who score the most correct in their predictions each week receive one win. These wins will reset at the end of the prediction contest cycle.

Here are the standings following WCW Saturday Night Week 2 March 1991...

1. Zergon=2 Wins
2. Beejus=1 Win
JoshAllington=1 Win
4. KnowYourEnemy=0 Wins
Nobby_McDonald=0 Wins

Will we see another new debut or return of a wrestler this week?

Doom/Horsemen - This is just too much of a super team to lose, even to the face super team.

Wendi Richter - Put the old sow out to pasture.

Skyscrapers - Sid is going to "Batten" down the hatches.

Art Barr

Owen Hart - Maybe this week it's Bruce?

Flair and Rude - Cheating heels defeat goody-good faces ahead of the PPV.

The Total Package says that he is a fighting champion and that is why he is defending his United States title right here on the Power Hour against Michael Hayes. He says that Hayes will be a strong, veteran test but he's stepping in the ring against the Total Package. Luger says that tonight Hayes is going to feel what it's like to be in the rack. -In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, Owen Hart© defeated Michael Wallstreet(C-) in 6:09 by pinfall with a Missile Dropkick. Owen Hart makes defence number 8 of his World Television title...C+ -In a backstage area, Nikita Koloff is shown pacing. Nikita looks up and turns and entering the locker room is none other than his Uncle, Ivan Koloff. Ivan tells Nikita that he will watch Nephew Nikita's back from here on out. Nikita thanks his Uncle but he says that he doesn't want or need his help. He says that he wants to win the U.S. belt on his own. Ivan shakes his head and says that if Nikita doesn't win the belt, he will be a disappointment to the Koloff family and to the Russian people everywhere. -In a video promo, we are shown Chuck O'Connor stretching and looking into the camera. A mysterious voice says that he has returned to WCW for one reason and that is to dominate this company. He says that Chuck O'Connor has the brawn and he is the man with the biggest brain in the history of professional wrestling. The man with the mystery voice steps into view of the camera and is revealed to be Paul Ellering! Ellering says that the two of them together will dominate WCW's ranks following SuperBrawl because he is too smart to lose. Ellering hits his palm with a rolled up copy of the Wall Street Journal and we move back to the ring. -In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and non-existent crowd heat, Dean Malenko(D+) defeated David Sammartino(D+) in 5:38 by submission with a Texas Cloverleaf...C- -Another video promo begins to play and this one features Teddy Long and the WCW World Tag Team Champions, Doom. Long says that they are just a couple of days away from Doom proving that they are the most dominant tag team in the history of professional wrestling. No other wrestling tag team has had to beat three other top tag teams in one night. Long says that it doesn't matter whether they pin Arn Anderson or Tully Blanchard or Ricky Morton or Robert Gibson or Bobby Fulton or Tommy Rogers. One of those men is going to be pinned by Butch Reed or Ron Simmons. He says that if he was a betting man, he would remind each and every person to always bet on black. -In a decent match, Lex Luger© defeated Michael Hayes© in 18:25 by submission with a Torture Rack. Lex Luger makes defence number 2 of his United States Heavyweight title...B- -With the victory, Lex Luger releases Michael Hayes and has his arm raised in the center of the ring. He is handed the United States title and he lifts it in the air to cheers from the crowd here in Massachusetts. The announcers talk about the fact that Luger will be defending that title against three other men at SuperBrawl: Crossroads. Will he be able to walk out of the building with the title still? Make sure you call your local pay-per-view carriers and order SuperBrawl: Crossroads. We'll see you tomorrow night for WCW Saturday Night.</div></div><div></div></blockquote></div>

He announces that this Monday night live on TBS we will see the debut of WCW Monday Nitro! It is a brand new live show that will feature some of the best wrestlers here in World Championship Wrestling. With this new show, he announces that WCW has decided to do something that no other wrestling company has ever done. He says that they are going to split their roster between WCW Monday Nitro and WCW Saturday Night. Next week, on both shows, a draft will be held where representatives from both shows will decide who will be on their show. He says that he can proudly announce that the American Dream Dusty Rhodes will be running the WCW Saturday Night show. He will also be the representative for that show in the upcoming draft. The representative for WCW Monday Nitro will be revealed on the very first episode of Monday Nitro. The crowd is in definite shock as this is revealed.

All four teams start the match inside the ring with a pier eight brawl. The Rock 'N' Roll Express hit Arn Anderson with a double dropkick and he rolls outside the ring. The Fantastics catch Butch Reed with a double clothesline and the match starts with The Rock 'N' Roll Express and The Fantastics in the ring while the teams of Doom and Anderson & Blanchard are left at ringside. The action returns inside the ring where Ricky Morton gets caught in the wrong corner. Butch Reed and Ron Simmons begin double-teaming Morton with forearm shots and a double flapjack that results in a two count on Morton. Reed yanks Morton to his feet and lifts him up in a press slam, bringing the Rock 'N' Roll Express member to the mat. Reed yanks up Morton and begins choking him on the middle rope as the crowd boos loudly. The referee reaches a four count and Reed releases before choking him again to the count of four. Reed tags in Tully Blanchard and Blanchard Irish whips Morton to a neutral corner. Blanchard follows Morton into the corner but Morton dodges and Blanchard slams into the corner. Blanchard staggers around and Morton strikes him with a dropkick. Morton crawls toward his corner and Blanchard stretches for a tag from his own corner. Blanchard tags in Arn Anderson but Morton manages to tag in Tommy Rogers! Rogers comes in and goes for a clothesline on Anderson but The Enforcer ducks! Rogers knocks Butch Reed and Ron Simmons off the apron. He turns back around and catches Anderson with a kick to the gut before turning him into the corner. The ring spills forth with all eight men getting involved inside the ring and then outside the ring. Tully Blanchard catches Bobby Fulton with a slingshot suplex! He turns around and Tommy Rogers catches Blanchard with the Tomikaze! Rogers gets up and turns into an Anderson Spinebuster from Anderson! Anderson draws his thumb across his throat and makes the cover as Doom battles The Rock 'N' Roll Express outside the ring: One, Two, Three!

He congratulates Doom and Anderson & Blanchard on their victory tonight. He says that while the WCW World Tag Team titles will be on the line tomorrow night at SuperBrawl, there will also be a lot more on the line that night. He introduces Bob Backlund, who joins him at the interview area. Ross says that Backlund will be in a match that will certainly be a slobberknocker when he is part of the Ultimate Sacrifice match. Ross says that Backlund has a few words to say about this match so he hands the microphone over to him. Backlund says that he is making the big decision to put his career on the line tomorrow night at SuperBrawl. He begins to talk again but he is interrupted by the arrival of one of his opponents tomorrow night, Ric Flair. Flair walks down and gets in the face of Bob Backlund. Flair takes a microphone and tells Backlund to take a look at The Nature Boy. Take a look at the man who is wearing a $15,000 custom-made suit. Take a look at the man who is wearing shoes that cost more than these people's houses combined. Flair says that Backlund doesn't have a chance of winning at SuperBrawl: Crossroads. Though he does have a shot at keeping his career intact by not showing up. Backlund interrupts Flair by telling Flair that he represents everything wrong with this industry. He says that Flair represents the guys who are just in this company for the money, not for the competition. Backlund says he is going to walk away from SuperBrawl as a winner. Backlund's comments are interrupted again, this time by an assault from behind by Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard and Barry Windham! They knock Backlund to the ground and then set him up for the Spiked Piledriver but here comes Sting! Sting has a baseball bat! He goes swinging and the Horsemen scatter away from this baseball stadium.

Wendi Richter steps in the ring against The Fabulous Moolah where the loser cannot be the first WCW World Women's Champion. Richter goes right after Moolah in the opening minute. She attacks with forearm smashes to the side of the head and then a headlock takeover. Moolah manages to reach the ropes, breaking the hold in the process. Both women get to their feet and Moolah grabs Richter by the hair. She spins around and swings Richter around by the hair before slamming her down on the mat. Moolah makes a cover but only gets a one count on Richter. Moolah draws in boos from this audience here in the Riverside Centroplex. Moolah brings Richter over with a jumping snapmare and then moves to the second turnbuckle. She leaps with a diving forearm smash but Richter moves and Moolah crashes into the mat instead. The crowd gets solidly behind Wendi Richter as she works her way up to her feet. Richter throws some forearm smashes and then hooks Moolah with a belly-to-back suplex with a bridge that scores a two count. Richter gets the crowd involved and grabs Moolah, hooking her in a front facelock -- Sitout DDT! Moolah is planted into the mat.

Nakano brings Richter to the mat with a body slam and then begins stomping on her face before choking her with her wrestling boot. The Fabulous Moolah uses the ropes to get to her feet. Moolah turns and sees what Nakano is doing. The two ladies go face-to-face for a moment and then they shake hands! The crowd boos as Moolah steps around Nakano and puts the boots to Richter! She picks up Richter and brings her down with a backbreaker before sliding her to the mat. Nakano yanks up Richter and brings her down with the Bull's Poseidon, the back-to-belly piledriver! The crowd boos as Richter is planted on the mat and Nakano stands up, raising her arms as though she just won some sort of victory.

Solie welcomes everyone to the WNN and begins by announcing the recent signing of veteran wrestler Ivan Koloff. For those who watched the WCW Power Hour, we saw him speaking with his nephew about being in Nikita's corner. But Nikita didn't seem to want anything to do with his Uncle. How will Nikita feel now that Ivan has been officially signed as a wrestler here in WCW? There have definitely been some other signings here in WCW as we prepare for the brand split this Monday night. But before we get there we have SuperBrawl tomorrow night. A match that has been signed for SuperBrawl features two large wrestlers as Big Van Vader steps in the ring against Avalanche. Solie sends us to an interview with the man they call Vader. Big Van Vader is shown standing in front of a WCW logo. Vader looks in the camera and says that two weeks ago he felt what it's like to survive an avalanche. He says that he is going to survive that avalanche again tomorrow night at SuperBrawl: Crossroads because he is the biggest mastodon in professional wrestling. He says that he is going to prove that once again when he steps in the ring with Avalanche tomorrow night at SuperBrawl.

These two men go back and forth in an attempt to steal the show this evening, showcasing the talent of both men. This includes La Parka catching Art Barr with a springboard corkscrew senton outside the ring. The man in the skeleton outfit brings the action back inside the ring and he goes for a split-legged moonsault but Barr rolls out of the way and La Parka crashes on the mat. Barr gets the crowd behind him and catches Parka with a Lou Thesz Press and then some outright punches to the masked man. Barr gets up to his feet and yanks Parka to a vertical base. Barr uses the second rope as a springboard into a flying headscissors, sending La Parka flying across the ring. Barr plants La Parka in the middle of the ring with a belly-to-belly suplex and then heads to the top turnbuckle. He motions toward La Parka and then leaps -- Frog Splash! Barr catches La Parka with the frog splash! Barr makes the cover, hooking the leg: One, Two, Three!

If a victory like this occurs tomorrow night, then The Smooth Operators will be your new WCW United States Tag Team Champions. He asks them for comments as they grow closer to a shot at the United States Tag Team titles. Eddie Guerrero speaks up first, calling for all his amigos to make sure to tune in tomorrow night to SuperBrawl. He says that tomorrow night you're going to see Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr give it everything they have against three other teams. There's the technical skill of The York Foundation, the veteran skill of Larry Zbyszko and Bobby Eaton and the youth and experience combo of Dustin Rhodes and Wahoo McDaniel. Then there's The Smooth Operators. There's Eddie Guerrero and there's Art Barr. Guerrero says that they bring the speed to this match. There's not a team in this match that can keep up with the pace of The Smooth Operators. He says that the two of them are going to bust through the obstacles put before them and they will be the new United States Tag Team Champions. Art Barr adds in that the American Love Machine being the United States Tag Team Champion? That sounds just about right. Barr says that the two of them have come so far and they're about to go further at SuperBrawl.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/OwenHart.jpg<div style="text-align:right;"></div> [With the ring and ringside cleared, we have the arrival of the WCW World Television Champion Owen Hart.

Then, he says, last week he started an open challenge for anyone who wants to step in the ring and take this title. His first opponent was his own brother, Keith Hart. He says that he stepped in the ring against someone who was trained the same way that he was, inside the Dungeon. But he was the one to come up with the victory last week against his older brother. This week, Owen Hart promises, won't be any different. This week he is offering another open challenge against anyone who wishes to step in the ring to try to take this WCW World Television title from him.

Muta enters the ring and looks across toward his opponent before spitting the mist up into the air. The bell sounds and these two men circle each other before locking up. The pace is quick between these two wrestlers as they exchange moves in the center of the ring. Muta manages to get Hart backed into a corner and he catches Hart with the Space Rolling Elbow. Hart staggers out of the corner and Muta brings Hart to the mat with a Dragon Screw Leg Whip. Muta heads to the top turnbuckle and then goes for a Moonsault but Hart rolls out of the way and Muta lands on his feet instead. Hart avoids a clothesline and catches Muta with a dropkick. Hart picks up Muta and brings him over with a belly-to-back suplex before climbing to the top turnbuckle. Hart points toward Muta as Muta lies on the mat -- Diving Elbow Drop! Hart connects to the heart of The Great Muta with that elbow drop! Hart has the crowd solidly on his side as he stands back up and goes for the legs of Muta. Hart is going for the Scorpion Deathlock but it's blocked by Muta and Muta sends that Asian Mist into the eyes of Owen Hart! Hart releases Muta and staggers around the ring, clawing at his eyes. Muta gets to his feet and brings Hart to the mat with a leg sweep and then he locks Hart in the Muta Lock!

Oz talks about being the greatest magician in the history of not only professional wrestling but in the history of magicians. Oz pulls out one of the cards and asks the fan if that's his card and the fan says no. Oz pulls out another card and asks again and again the fan says no. Oz says that the fan is not doing this right. He begins getting frustrated with the fan and then clotheslines him down! Oz drops to his knees beside the fan and begins throwing punches as the crowd circles around the scene. Kevin Sullivan throws in a few stomps to the head of the fan. Oz finally stands back up and, again, proclaims himself as the greatest magician. He says that for his next trick he will make himself disappear right before your eyes.

After their confrontation earlier tonight, Ric Flair and Bob Backlund start the contest. Some chain wrestling back and forth between these two great wrestlers has Backlund frustrating Flair at every single turn. Backlund tags in Sting and lifts Flair in an atomic drop. When Flair is planted, he is sent down with a clothesline by the man called Sting. Sting lifts up Flair and brings him down with a one handed bulldog. He exits the ring and climbs to the top turnbuckle, waiting for Flair to reach his feet. Flair turns and Sting leaps with a flying cross body! Sting hooks the leg: One, Two, Broken with a stomp to the head by Rick Rude! Rude grabs Sting by the head and tosses him shoulder-first into the ring post by sending him through the turnbuckle. Rude drags Flair over to the corner and tags himself in. He enters the ring and goes right after the man called Sting. Rude lifts Sting and holds him for several seconds before bringing him over his knee with a backbreaker. Rude shoves Sting to the mat and then stands up, swiveling his hips above the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Rude shows his power by lifting Sting in a gutwrench position before bringing him over with a gutwrench suplex to the mat. Rude stands and looks down at Sting before tagging in Ric Flair. Flair comes in and immediately stomps on the head of Sting. He lifts Sting and places him in the corner, beginning to light up his chest with knife-edge chops. Sting tries to fire back with punches but Flair rakes the face of the man in the face paint. Flair grabs the knee of Sting and lifts him up -- Shinbreaker! Sting goes to the mat, grabbing his leg in pain. Flair bounces off the ropes -- Running Jumping Knee Drop! Flair stands back up and struts, releasing a 'Whooooo' toward Backlund before covering Sting:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Shoulder Up!] [The crowd cheers loudly when Sting manages to get his shoulder up, saving himself from a three count. This doesn't stop Ric Flair, though. Flair begins focusing on the right leg of Sting. He stomps on the knee and drags the knee across the bottom rope. He leaps and comes crashing down upon that knee. Sting grabs the knee in obvious pain and this is definite a wearing down period for tomorrow night. If Sting's knee gets injured on this night, he won't be at one hundred percent for the Ultimate Sacrifice match. Flair goes for the Figure Four but Sting rolls Flair into a small package: One, Two, Broken up by Rick Rude! Flair gets to his feet quickly and yanks Sting up, laying in a chop to the chest of Sting. But Sting shakes his head. Flair throws a couple more chops and Sting seems to be getting his second wind. He flexes and then throws some punches to Flair. A hard right hand has Flair's eyes going Krispy Kreme. Flair takes a step and then falls face-first on the mat. Sting grabs his right knee, trying to focus through the pain. He grabs Flair and Irish whips him toward a turnbuckle -- Flair flips over the turnbuckle and lands on the apron. Flair rushes along the apron and heads to the top turnbuckle but Sting is there to meet him. Sting body slams Flair to the mat and then grabs his knee in pain. Rude catches Sting with a shot from the apron and Sting goes to the mat, beginning to crawl toward his corner. Flair begins crawling toward his own corner. Which man will get there first? Flair tags in Rude and Sting tags in Bob Backlund!] [bob Backlund catches Rick Rude with multiple clotheslines in a row! Backlund ducks a clothesline attempt by Rude and then lifts him up in an atomic drop and Rude staggers forward in pain. Backlund steps in and goes for the Crossface Chicken Wing! Rude drops to a knee and sends Backlund flying over to the mat. A nice reversal by the Ravishing one! Backlund comes back toward Rude and Rude brings Backlund to the mat with a drop toehold. In comes Ric Flair, who bounces off the ropes and hits the Running Jumping Knee Drop to the back of Backlund's head! The crowd boos but Flair gets cut off by Sting! The crowd cheers the arrival of the WCW World Heavyweight Champion! Sting throws punches to the head of Flair, backing him up into a corner. He's fighting on adrenaline! Rude picks up Backlund and Backlund slips around behind Rude -- Release German Suplex! Backlund throws Rude nearly halfway across the ring! Backlund gets to his feet and on the other side of the ring Flair has taken some control by going to the knee of Sting. He has Sting backed into a corner and is laying into him with some chops. Backlund moves over and grabs Flair by the hair, pulling him away from Sting! Backlund hooks Flair in the Crossface Chicken Wing but Flair is not the legal man! The referee tries to tell Backlund that he needs to release the hold so that they can get just the two legal men in the ring. The fight goes on with all four men in the ring until the referee has seen enough and calls for the bell, ending this match in a no contest draw.] Winners: Draw (Via Double Disqualification @ 20:26) Match Rating: A</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42131" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RicFlair.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/RickRude.jpg<div style="text-align:right;"></div> http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/Sting.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/WCW_1991/BobBacklund.jpg [Bob Backlund comes to his senses when the bell sounds and he releases the Crossface Chicken Wing from Ric Flair. On the other side of the ring, Rick Rude is doing battle with Sting. Rude catches Sting with a direct kick to the knee, bringing Sting down for a moment before Rude catches Sting with a punch. Rude turns and walks right into Backlund! Backlund begins throwing punches to Rude before he picks up the Ravishing One and body slams him to the mat. Backlund calls for the Crossface Chicken Wing but he is hit from behind by Paul E. Dangerously with that cell phone! Backlund goes right down to the mat but Sting manages to get to his feet. He sends Rude into a corner -- Stinger Splash! Rude falls to the mat and Sting goes for the legs but here comes Ric Flair! Flair rakes the eyes of Sting and then brings him to the mat with the shinbreaker. Ric Flair rolls out of the ring and grabs the WCW World Heavyweight title belt. He slides back in and he raises the belt up high. If this happens in twenty four hours we will see a brand new WCW World Heavyweight Champion! Or maybe we will see Rick Rude have to shave his head. Or maybe we will see Bob Backlund's career come to an end. Or maybe Ric Flair will lose and the Horsemen will be disbanded. One of those four things will happen tomorrow night when we have SuperBrawl: Crossroads and the Ultimate Sacrifice match. Make sure you contact your local cable operators and tell them that you want to see SuperBrawl! We'll see you there!]</div></blockquote></div>

Instead of every month as I did the first two months, I have decided to make the prediction contests last six months. This gives plenty of time for a lot of changes to be made at the top here. It also gives you a chance that if you miss a show it's not the end of your chance to win. For those of you who might be new to my diaries and the way I handle prediction contests, here is a brief breakdown. The person or people who score the most correct in their predictions each week receive one win. These wins will reset at the end of the prediction contest cycle. Here are the standings following WCW Saturday Night Week 3 March 1991... 1. Zergon=3 Wins 2. Beejus=1 Win JoshAllington=1 Win 4.

All four wrestlers competing in this match have given up something if they are pinned or forced to submit. If Sting loses, he gives up the WCW World Heavyweight title to the winner. If Ric Flair loses, The Four Horsemen are disbanded as a unit. If Rick Rude loses, then the winner is allowed to shave his head. If Bob Backlund loses, he must retire from professional wrestling. A lot is riding on the line during this match. Who will win and it's almost just as important to ask, who will lose this match? -The WCW United States title will be on the line as Lex Luger defends the belt against Sid Vicious, Dan Spivey and Nikita Koloff in a Crossroads match. The first pinfall or submission receives the WCW United States title. This means that it's every man for himself. Will this cause some division between The Skyscrapers? We have already seen the division between Lex Luger and Nikita Koloff. Which of these four wrestlers will head into the very first WCW Monday Nitro as the WCW United States Champion? -The show is going to kick off with what can only be described as a huge contest as we begin the best of seven series. Inside the ring and in one corner stands The Macho Man Randy Savage. In the other corner is The Dragon Ricky Steamboat! Both of these men are looking to pick up the first win in this series.

Beejus · November 15, 2016

Randy Savage - Macho Man strikes first blood in the series.

York Foundation - Probably retaining despite Alexandria rather than because of her.

Avalanche - I'm going with Tenta because he's going to be on a written contract while Vader is still tied to New Japan.

Arn and Tully - Bring the limo around Barry, it's time for the party.

Nikita Koloff - A big win for the Homeland.

Kevin Von Erich - Total shot in the dark, really.

Ric Flair - Ric can go on to feud with a now US title-less Luger.

Sting is pinned to lose the title to the winner.

Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat

Comments: Randy takes his debut win to make this 1-0.

WCW United States Tag Team Titles Match

The York Foundation defends vs. Larry Zbyszko and Bobby Eaton vs. The Smooth Operators vs. Dustin Rhodes and Wahoo McDaniel

Comments: There seem to be some problems within The York Foundation so I could see them losing belts here but I´m still going to go with them keeping the belts for now.

Big Van Vader vs. Avalanche

Comments: Simpky going with who I see as bigger name here.

WCW World Tag Team Titles Match

Doom defends vs. Anderson & Blanchard vs. The Rock 'N' Roll Express vs. The Fantastics

Comments: I´m probably wrong here but I have hard time going against Anderson & Blanchard on this one.

WCW United States Title Match

Lex Luger defends vs. Sid Vicious vs. Dan Spivey vs. Nikita Koloff

Comments: This looks like Sid´s match to lose assuming that Spivey is happy to help his partner which I assume will be the case as they just got together again so I feel it´s bit too early for friction between the two.

Badstreet Strap Match

Michael Hayes vs. Kevin Von Erich

Comments: Could go either way.

Ultimate Sacrifice Match

If Sting Is Pinned/Submits, He Loses The WCW World Heavyweight Title To The Winner

If Ric Flair Is Pinned/Submits, The Four Horsemen Are Disbanded

If Rick Rude Is Pinned/Submits, His Head Is Shaved

If Bob Backlund Is Pinned/Submits, He Must Retire

Sting defends vs. Ric Flair vs. Rick Rude vs. Bob Backlund

Comments: Sting losing would be the easiest solution here but I think he will retain this one. The bigger question is who will lose though.

If Ric Flair Is Pinned/Submits, The Four Horsemen Are Disbanded

If Rick Rude Is Pinned/Submits, His Head Is Shaved

If Bob Backlund Is Pinned/Submits, He Must Retire

Not sure if you have a picture to go with this option but I think this would be the most interesting outcome out of the four as it could allow you to give Rude some less often seen gimmick and thus move him into some new territory in terms of his character.
