WCW: Dangerous Territory

James Casey · August 17, 2017

<p> <span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I’m going to trial something shortly based on a feature in WCW Magazine from that time: 10 Questions With... would feature a different WCW wrestler each month posing questions that were a mix of storyline-specific, WCW-general and personal as well. It was a good way of establishing characters in that kayfabe-heavy time, especially as storylines moved more slowly.</span></span></p><p>

</p><p>

<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">10 Questions... will likely be an occasional series (i.e. when I feel like it) but I have a couple written up for the near future with the York Foundation and Steve Austin, as I want to explore their characters a bit more. If anyone has specific characters they want covered, let me know. They don’t have to be major characters, but Italian Stallion, Pat Rose and co. probably won’t be possible and Abdullah the Butcher doesn’t do interviews...</span></span></p><p> </p><p>

Alexandra York, a Harvard graduate who scored a 4.0 GPA on twin majors in economics and computing. Ms York and her clients, dubbed the York Foundation, have caused a stir in WCW since joining forces, and have already had two reigns as WCW Six Man champions. It’s time, then, to ask them 10 questions...</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Segment of the Night – The Dangerous Alliance Has Plans - And So Does Jesse Ventura!

http://tew2016.com/images/images/Zbyszko.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/Anderson.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/Austin.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/Rude.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/Pillman.jpg

http://tew2016.com/images/images/Dangerously.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/Madusa.jpg

Paul E. Dangerously presented his clients in the ring, looking not so much like the cat that got the cream as the cat that found out it had inherited the dairy farm.

Dangerously:

Ladies and gentlemen, take a good, long look at this assemblage of talent and marvel that never before has so much pure ability been gathered in one ring. Quite apart from myself and our Director of Covert Operations, Madusa, you have the ‘Enforcer’ Arn Anderson, the ‘Living Legend’ Larry Zbyszko, the aerial expert Brian Pillman, the next big thing ‘Stunning’ Steve Austin and the centrepiece and figurehead of the Dangerous Alliance, ‘Ravishing’ Rick Rude.

Dangerously:

We have plans, ladies and gentlemen, big plans, and-

http://tew2016.com/images/images/Ventura.jpg

Jesse Ventura walked down the aisle and entered the ring, stopping Dangerously mid-flow.

Ventura

:

Go on, Paul. You’ve got plans, and I’m intrigued. You see, I’ve got plans, too – plans for WCW, and plans for the Dangerous Alliance. You took five of the company’s biggest stars and put them all under one umbrella, Paul. That’s... fascinating.

He smiled, although the expression didn’t seem to soothe Dangerously, whose body language betrayed nervousness.

Ventura

:

Easy, Paul, easy. So far, you’ve not done anything that I need to get involved in – except gather up a great deal of talent. In a way, it makes my job easier. When you

do

start crossing lines, and I’m sure you will at some point, then I know where to pin the blame.

Dangerously:

Now hang on a moment-

Ventura

:

Paul, relax. You know me, we’ve talked a lot, and I know you think the way I did, once upon a time. If it gives you an advantage – do it, right?

Dangerously looked unsure on how to reply, then a slow smile spread across his face as he relaxed.

Dangerously:

Commissioner Ventura, you

are

right. This is the single greatest assemblage of talent ever gathered in the history of professional wrestling and, frankly, I expect that to be all the advantage we could require. Should there, for some reason, be more of a need for us to force an advantage... Well sir, I accept that actions have consequences.

He smiled as Ventura stared at him. Rude and Anderson shifted slightly to stand behind Dangerously.

Ventura

:

Well said, Paul. I said when I made my case for becoming Commissioner that I wanted WCW to be the home of competitors who were smart

and

tough. I look at the five guys you have on board, and I they’re plenty tough and plenty smart. We’ll see if they’re smart

enough

... But they’ve got you and Madusa, and I guess maybe that answers that question anyway.

Ventura

:

But as for my plans... Paul, I know you’re a big picture guy. You’ve got your Dangerous Alliance dreaming of gold, and who cares who you have to beat it. Well, I guess that’s my job, ‘cuz right now you’ve said a lot, and I think you need to show what you can do. So tonight, all of you have matches. Pillman, it seems like you’re down a partner, so tonight you’ve got a singles match against Joe Malenko. Anderson, Austin, since you’re so tight, you can take on the Patriots.

Austin

beamed at the announcement, and Anderson nodded thoughtfully.

Ventura

:

Oh you like that, huh? Well maybe you won’t, soon enough.

Ventura

:

As for you, Rude, and you, Zbyszko, let’s see what you can do tonight against Bobby Eaton and Ricky Steamboat.

Rude nodded curtly. Zbyszko laughed and rubbed his hands together.

Ventura

:

Yeah, ‘Legend’, I heard you the other night. You want Steamboat, but he’s not offering title shots and right now I’m not handing them out too quickly, so you can fight and show what you can do, and then who knows?

Dangerously:

Commissioner Ventura, may I say what a pleasure it is to deal with someone who is so upright and unimpeachable as yourself?

Ventura

:

You can say what you want, Paul, but remember – actions have consequences.

WCW Hotline Show Notes

http://tew2016.com/images/images/1991-11-08-Sat.jpg

All credit to Michael Hayes, he can make anyone angry – angry enough to put the World title on the line, even! Just 2 nights out from a bloody I Quit match, the champion agreed to put the gold on the line once more. Hayes used all the tricks in his book to try and take out the champion, but Koloff knows a lot of those tricks himself, and fired back with some vicious shots of his own, eventually picking up the win with a Jackhammer to retain the gold!

The Stocks And Shares Express went over the Young Pistols in 8:24, 6 seconds shy of the 8:30 prediction made by Alexandra York. Of course, when York waffles Steve Armstrong with her laptop to set up the pinfall, that could be said to influence the match timing. Still, her interference cost her other client in his match against Barry Windham – although a whole server farm might not have helped against the rampaging Sweetwater native this Saturday night!

Sting and the Steiners warned the Dangerous Alliance not to get ahead of themselves – progress up the ranks comes through hard work and victories, not just big words. Sting followed up with a victory over Vinnie Vegas, who seemed to be a little preoccupied after his recent title loss.

Brian Pillman showed off his new companions with a thrilling victory over Joe Malenko, whose manager Trisa Hayes seemed intimidated by Madusa. Later in the night, the Dangerous Alliance repeatedly showed off their supreme self-confidence, laughing off Barry Windham’s vows of vengeance and Sting and the Steiner’ warning. The Alliance seem able to back up their words, though as Anderson and Austin beat the Patriots, and Zbyszko and Rude cheated their way past Ricky Steamboat and Bobby Eaton. Might Zbyszko – and Dangerously’s cellphone – be in with a shot at the TV title soon?

Ric Flair, badly beaten at the recent Clash, has declared that he’ll be back... But when? The Nature Boy is a big loss to WCW when out of action, but after losing twice to Nikita Koloff, it may be time for The Man to regroup.

You could forgive Owen Hart for being distracted right now, but on the contrary, the young United States tag champion seemed more focused than ever as he tackled Billy Jack Haynes, and only an exposed turnbuckle left Hart shaken enough for Haynes to lock in the Full Nelson. Later, Hart ignored Tony Schiavone’s requests for an interview, though whether out of frustration over the night’s result or not wanting to discuss Brian Pillman remains to be seen.

Segment of the Night – The Patriot Meets The Patriots

http://tew2016.com/images/images/Chip.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/Champion.jpg

After another hard defeat, Todd Champion and Firebreaker Chip were sat despondently in their locker room, half-dressed but seemingly too weary to finish the job.

Champion:

Any thoughts, Chip?

Chip:

Not right now, Todd. Maybe tomorrow.

Champion:

Yeah, maybe tomorrow.

The locker room door opened, letting in a newcomer who walked up to Champion and Chip and stared down at them.

???:

Gentlemen...

http://tew2016.com/images/images/Patriot.jpg

Patriot:

...now is not the time to go gentle into that good night. There’s work to be done and battles to be fought, and for that we must stand together.

Chip and Champion looked in surprise at one another, before standing almost as one. The masked man shook their hands.

Patriot:

A group of soldiers of one conviction can change the world, and we start right now!

WCW Hotline Show Notes

http://tew2016.com/images/images/1991-11-09-Sun.jpg

The Dangerous Alliance continued to dominate their opponents, beating down the Rikki Nelson and the Fabulous Malenkos in six man action, while Rick Rude and Brian Pillman took down the Super Patriots but Larry Zbyszko was left fuming when Ricky Steamboat laughed off his challenge for the Television title. Steamboat followed up by retaining his title against the Diamond Studd in the main event, for good measure.

And trouble may be brewing between Lex Luger and the Dangerous Alliance – once more, the Total Package found himself face to face with Rick Rude and his allies, and once more he was forced to back down by sheer weight of numbers. One man against seven would be an unwise fight to pick, but how long until Luger has backup with him?

Mr Hughes is back from his recent injury, and still under the guidance of Harley Race. Can the six-time World champion lead Hughes to the top? A strong performance against Barry Windham shows promise, even if the Sweetwater native took down the bigger man for the win.

The York Foundation are short a man right now, with Robert Gibson on the injured list, but in tag action Morton and Taylor showed their talent in taking down Dustin Rhodes and El Tigre Blanco – surely another Six Man title shot awaits?

Rick Steiner scored a Diving Bulldog to take out Johnny B. Badd in a thrilling match that showed off the rookie’s thrilling athleticism, as well as the Dog Faced Gremlin’s explosive power. Afterwards, Tedd Long ordered Badd and Scotty Flamingo to attack Steiner, but the arrival of Scott Steiner made the younger team beg off – sensibly, if you ask me!

Bobby Eaton beat old friend Steve Keirn to kick the night off, showing how good a singles performer ‘Beautiful’ Bobby has become.

The Lethal Lottery will be a huge part of Starrcade this year, but how about the World title match – the </div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Great Muta</span></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> is back in WCW, and will face Nikita Koloff for the title in just three weeks’ time! Muta has clearly not lost a step, taking down his old rival Sting in singles competition, albeit with a big assist from Steve Austin!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Austin and Sting were at one another’s throats after that, and Sting was back to face off with Austin again after the main event, as the Dangerous Alliance continued to brawl with their opponents. Check out the match result, though, as Larry Zbyszko picked up another controversial win over Ricky Steamboat following interference from Madusa! We can exclusively reveal here on the Hotline that Ricky Steamboat will be addressing Zbyszko’s recent ‘successes’ on Main Event tomorrow night!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Paul E. Dangerously wasn’t a fan of the Lethal Lottery when Jesse Ventura first announced it, but he seemed to warm to the concept as the night went on – and after Rick Rude beat Dustin Rhodes, he was ready to hype the Dangerous Alliance as the probable winner. Which one? Well, that’ll apparently be a matter of who can come out on top when they’re alone in the ring at the end of the battle royal! All joking aside, with 5 of the 40 spots taken up by the Alliance, it seems like they have a big advantage. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Owen Hart wasn’t getting paid by the minute against Vinnie Vegas, and no wonder – the young Canadian wanted words with his tag team partner, but will have to wait for now. Hart and Pillman have another concern in the form of the Young Pistols, who picked up a win on Saturday night and are making noises about a title shot now that the Lightning Express are no longer champions!</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The Steiners have made it clear that they’re open to challenges now they have the World tag team titles back, and this week Billy Jack Haynes and Dan Spivey stepped up to the plate. There was no joy for either team, really, as the Steiners were on top before Spivey brought events to an abrupt halt with a low blow on Scott.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Ron Simmons polished off Richard Morton with a Spinebuster. The All-American seemed a little jumpy during his match – has Cactus Jack got into Simmons’ head?</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<p>Excellent read man, I'm glad you're bringing in the Battlebowl and Lethal Lottery, I was debating on doing it in my WCW 1991 dynasty. How do you plan on booking your matches? Just completely random? Or do you have an idea in mind what the matches will be?</p><p> </p><p>

And are you planning on turning off the heel/face divide, or leaving it on and taking whatever penalties the game might throw out?</p><p> </p><p>

Good stuff, keep it up. Shameless plug, if you get a chance, give mine a read. I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate graphics into mine, photobucket was my go-to, and I haven't found anything else that I like yet.</p>

https://www.lifewire.com/free-image-hosting-sites-3486329 and https://www.ghacks.net/2017/07/02/photobucket-alternatives-for-third-party/ may help with finding a good photo hosting site

I liked the idea of the Lethal Lottery, and am a sucker for a good battle royal, so keeping that in was always on for me. I used random.org to do a fully randomised draw and went from there. I was worried about the face/heel thing, but I think it only kicks in if you have a fully face or fully heel match, and from memory (I ran the show a while back now) all the matches had at least one of each.

World Championship Wrestling presents: Main Event

Sunday, Week 1 December 1991

http://tew2016.com/images/images/steamboat.jpg

Ricky Steamboat stood in the ring, the TV title secured around his waist, a microphone in his hand.

Steamboat:

Larry Zbyszko, you’re an irritating, aggravating, infuriating cheat who doesn’t belong in the same building as some of the great wrestlers competing in WCW, let alone the same ring!

Steamboat:

But, I have to admit, you’ve found a way to cheat me twice in recent weeks, and that doesn’t sit easy with me. I’ve bene in the ring with Terry Funk, with Harley Race, with Ric Flair – the dirtiest player in the game! I’ve been in the ring for an hour with Ric Flair and kept him honest by never giving him the chance to cheat... But you blindsided me twice!

Steamboat:

So, either I’m slipping, you’re the greatest cheat of all time, or you’ve got lucky. The fire that burns in my heart won’t let me rest easy until I know, so you’ve got what you’ve been asking for, Larry. Next week, on WCW Saturday Night, you and me will go one-on-one for this.

Undoing the title belt, he held it up so the camera could get both the gleaming gold and the dark glare of Steamboat’s eyes.

Steamboat:

You’ve

got

your match, Larry, but don’t dare to say that you’ve

earned

it.

WCW Hotline Show Notes

http://tew2016.com/images/images/1991-12-01-Sun.jpg

Firstly, may I say that our thoughts are with young Dean Malenko tonight. The technical prodigy took a bad hit in his match against Billy Jack Haynes, and will be out for a couple of months. We all at WCW wish you a speedy recovery, Dean!

The young Canadian duo of Chris Jericho and Lance Storm were put up against the young American duo of Scotty Flamingo and Johnny B. Badd, Loud And Proud. Flamingo and Badd have a smidgen more experience than their opponents, and have a loud and brash manager in Teddy Long. That all made a difference here, as Badd picked up the win with Sweet Sweet Dreams on Jericho.

The trio of Patriot, Firebreaker Chip and Todd Champion were shown walking the streets of Corpus Christi, discussing how to stand firm even when the tide is against you.

Bobby Eaton clashed with Terence Taylor, briefly, but their team-mates couldn’t help but get involved leading to a six man brawl that seems to suggest an obvious solution – not that I’d dare tell Commissioner Ventura how to do his job!

The Lightning Express were in the mood for something different on Sunday night, and both took singles matches, but as Tim Horner lost to Owen Hart and Brad Armstrong was beaten by Lex Luger, maybe they should stick to tag matches! Luger accepted Armstrong’s challenge almost without noticing, so worked up was he by Rick Rude and the Dangerous Alliance’s recent actions.

All credit to young competitors like Shane Douglas and Marcus Bagwell who’re eager for all the experience that they can get, but getting in the ring with Cactus Jack and Abdullah the Butcher is a move that can shorten careers. Fortunately for the young pair the deranged duo settled for

just

beating them tonight – if you can call losing a match against Cactus and Abdullah

just

anything.

The Diamond Mine got some momentum back behind them with a dominant victory over the Italian Stallion and young Chris Chavis, Diamond Dallas Page looked delighted to be counting the winners’ share of the purse after a rough few weeks. Vinnie Vegas’ casino winnings not making up the difference, DDP?

Segment of the Night – Ricky Steamboat © vs. Larry Zbyszko – WCW Television Title

http://tew2016.com/images/images/Name.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/Steamboat.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/-vs.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/Zbyszko.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/MadusaSmall.jpg

Ricky Steamboat and Larry Zbyszko have been at one another’s throats for weeks now, and with the Television title on the line, the fans were ready and eager for the two to square off. The match was a thriller, with the fans on their feet several times as both men came close to victory, but the presence of Madusa at ringside gave Zbyszko an edge, distracting the referee and allowing him to gouge Steamboat’s eyes. Fighting back, Steamboat delivered a series of chops and went to the top for a flying axehandle, but even as Zbyszko reeled, he pulled the referee in between him and Steamboat, putting the champion off his stride. As Steamboat tried to push past the official, Zbyszko went to the eyes again, staggering Steamboat and leaving him open to a quick roll up. Madusa grabbed Zbyszko’s hand and held on for leverage as the referee counted to three.

Ross:

Oh, son of a-

Dangerously:

Yes! You see, Ross, you see! My client is brilliant, and our Director of Covert Operations is priceless! Now, if you’ll excuse me...

Jesse Ventura appeared at the top of the ramp as Paul E, Madusa and Zbyszko celebrated their victory.

Ventura

:

We’ve got ourselves a new champion! You’re the man to beat, Larry, and I know you’re up to the task, right?

Holding the title belt overhead, Zbyszko nodded with a broad grin on his face.

Ventura

:

Good, because your first defence will be tomorrow night.

Madusa and Dangerously stopped celebrating as Zbyszko’s face dropped.

Ventura

:

And, in fact, every night that WCW is on television. From now on, the challenge is open for anyone to step up and try and beat the TV champion.

Zbyszko:

This is preposterous, ridiculous, monstrous! This is-

Ventura

:

Potentially very lucrative for the champion, Larry.

Dangerously:

Lucrative?

Ventura

:

Lucrative. Every successful defence earns the champion a $1,000 bonus, and if you can score five straight wins in title defences, then you get a

$15,000

bonus, sound good?

Zbyszko looked conflicted, but Dangerously seemed mollified by the money on offer.

Dangerously:

Anything else we need to know?

Ventura

:

That ought to do it, Paul. For now. Who knows what the future might hold?

Ventura

:

Your first challenger will be with you tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to seeing who steps up to the plate!

WCW Hotline Show Notes

http://tew2016.com/images/images/1991-12-03-Sat.jpg

Can Sting put Cactus Jack and Abdullah the Butcher behind him? He may just have been a side casualty of Cactus’ weird interest in Ron Simmons tonight, ending up in a tag match with Simmons against the pair before Simmons put Abdullah away with a huge Spinebuster – but Cactus seemed to care little for his partner’s defeat!

Nikita Koloff shrugged off the challenge of the Great Muta at Starrcade; The World champion says he knows all about his challenger, but Muta has no idea what he’s capable of! To emphasise his position, Koloff polished off Richard Morton with a Jackhammer in under 10 minutes.

Bobby Eaton, Dustin Rhodes and El Tigre Blanco are proud Six Man champions, but how long can they keep hold of their titles with both the Diamond Mine and York Foundation hot on their tails? Beautiful Bobby at least came out of the night with a win, pinning Scotty Flamingo with an Alabama Jam.

The Dangerous Alliance continued with their winning ways, with Anderson and Austin taking down the young duo of Shane Douglas and Marcus Bagwell. Brian Pillman had other things on his mind, it seems, trying to reach Owen Hart, who was competing for New Japan Pro Wrestling tonight. But Pillman would shrug off any lethargy in the main even as he and Rick Rude put on an astonishing performance against former tag champions Lex Luger and Barry Windham, showing almost telepathic teamwork in their victorious effort – albeit one earned by somewhat dubious means AKA a fist full of tights!

The Steiners seemed blasé about the prospect of facing one another in the Lethal Lottery – they fought a lot growing up, after all! The Fabulous Malenkos admitted that Dean won’t be fit for the big show, so there’s an open spot on the card as Joe’s sitting out the show in support of his brother, despite Dean’s objections. Loud And Proud, meanwhile, squabbled about who’d win if they had to fight on opposing sides – and the Lightning Express almost came to blows!

Segment of the Night – Stay back, Jack!

http://tew2016.com/images/images/TA.jpghttp://tew2016.com/images/images/Simmons.jpg

TA:

Ron Simmons, you still seem angry after recent incidents between you and Cactus Jack. What do you understand are his motives for coming after you the way he has been?

Simmons:

Magnum, I don’t understand a single thought going through the head of Cactus Jack, and I don’t ever want to! As far as I’m concerned, he’s a dangerous lunatic. Maybe Jesse Ventura is happy having someone like that running around WCW, but I’m not. Jack, I beat you last night, and I’ll beat you again in the future if you make me, but I don’t want to waste any more time on you, fool. Stay away from me, and there’ll be no need for me to hurt you, get it?

WCW Hotline Show Notes

http://tew2016.com/images/images/1991-12-04-Sun.jpg

Larry Zbyszko’s first Beat The Champ match could hardly have been harder, as he faced former TV champ Rick Steiner with the gold on the line. Though less than happy about his opponent, Zbyszko showed that there’s a wise head on his shoulders as he grounded Steiner in a technical contest, keeping the Dog-Faced Gremlin from exploiting his power advantage before Paul E. Dangerously struck with his cellphone to give Zbyszko his first defence – and a $1,000 bonus!

Barry Windham has had a rough couple of weeks, losing the United States title to Arn Anderson, and taking the fall against the Dangerous Alliance last night. He rebounded here with a victory over Robert Gibson, putting the tag specialist down with a Superplex.

Speaking of the Alliance, Sting, Lex Luger and Owen Hart all had some choice words for them – could it take an alliance to face down the Alliance?

The NWA Junior Heavyweight title is a prestigious belt defended the world over by the best junior heavyweights in the world – with the current champion being the remarkable Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger. Liger made his US debut here, defending the crown against George South in a contest that had the fans begging for more; Great news for them, as Liger will be competing at Starrcade later this month!

Was Cactus Jack disturbed by Ron Simmons’ warning? Perhaps – but who can say? He demolished young Shane Douglas in short order. Perhaps he’s already forgotten about Simmons, although I wouldn’t put money on it!

Jerry Lawler continues to be a thorn in the York Foundation’s side, interrupting their welcome back party for Thomas Rich, who’s been on a tour of the old money families of New England of late. Lawler claimed that a King would always be more at home around money than

nouveau riches

like the Foundation.

The Diamond Mine continued their recent revival of form, polishing off the Thrillseekers in short order, before calling out the Six Man champions and putting them on warning about their plans for the gold! The champs kept tight hold of their titles here, holding off the challenge of Mr Hughes and Loud And Proud to retain.

</p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">The Great Muta stood tall over Shane Douglas early in the night, and after Nikita Koloff took down Tim Horner, the face-painted superstar ambushed the World champion and beat him down to the mat, delivering a brutal barrage of kicks that left Koloff down and out cold as Muta stood over him, blasting a spray of poison mist into the air!</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In a preview of the Lethal Lottery, two teams of randomly selected competitors faced off, with old rivals Scott Steiner and Michael Hayes teaming against the veteran Arn Anderson and young El Tigre Blanco. While both sides worked surprisingly well together, there may be no greater tag wrestler in history than Arn Anderson, and he guided his team to victory with a Spinning Spinebuster on Hayes for the pin. Whoever draws Double A at Starrcade may well have a virtual bye to Battlebowl!</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The Dangerous Alliance continue to make friends – not! After giving out to the trio of Barry Windham, Ricky Steamboat and Bobby Eaton, the Alliance went into action against Sting and Lex Luger in the night’s main event. The pairings of Luger and Rude and Steamboat and Sting never really showed any interest in making this a proper tag match, the match becoming a wild brawl that the referee allowed to continue as long as he could, until the wrestlers broke out weapons and the arena flooded with security to stop them causing serious injuries to each other!</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Jesse Ventura summoned Brian Pillman and Owen Hart to his office early in the night. Did he want them to settle their differences? Not exactly – he told them they were due a title defence, and sent them to the ring to face the Young Pistols! The Pistols gave it their all against Hart and Pillman, who were clearly on different pages, but the breakdown in communication actually helped the champions – sort of. Fighting amongst themselves, they couldn’t be made to focus on Smothers and Armstrong, and the referee had no choice but to toss the match out! Later, the Pistols reflected that the Lethal Lottery could set them at one another’s throats at Starrcade, just as Hart and Pillman had been.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Billy Jack Haynes, with no partner to worry about fighting, instead congratulated whoever was drawn to team with him; They would both, he stated, be fighting in the Battlebowl match for a #1 contender chance after Haynes won their tag match for them.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Jushin Liger was in the spotlight once more ahead of his Starrcade appearance. This time he defeated young Scotty Flamingo in a thrilling contest.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Young Dustin Rhodes stepped up to try and Beat The Champ and claim the Television title; It was a valiant effort on the part of the youngster, but Zbyszko scored a rare clean victory as he cinched in a Larryland Dreamer to send Rhodes to sleep.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The Diamond Mine sprung a surprise when unveiling their third man in the six man match that opened Saturday Night – Diamond Dallas Page joined his charges in the ring! Page looked good on his debut, but couldn’t help his team to a win as Thomas Rich led the Stocks and Shares Express to victory in a result that could be deemed an upset. Later, Rich and his teammates warned anyone who’d listen that the York Foundation would be a united front in the Battlebowl match!</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">It was a tag team heavy night on Main Event, with two Lethal Lottery preview matches taking place among other tag contests. The pairings of Firebreaker Chip and Cactus Jack and Todd Champion and Abdullah The Butcher were interesting, although Cactus and Abdullah seemed to take such delight in being drawn opposite one another that they got both teams disqualified through sheer brutality! More typical was the contest between El Tigre Blanco and Terence Taylor against Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton, where the veteran tag specialists were able to put aside their differences to take the win.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Nikita Koloff was nursing an almighty headache even 24 hours after being knocked out cold by Great Muta. He swore that Muta would pay, and if he had to break a few of Muta’s legs bones to stop the kicks, that was what he was prepared to do!</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Elsewhere on the show, the veteran duo Stocks And Shares Express – I still can’t believe that name is sticking around – took down the young Thrillseekers in a spirited affair. Marcus Bagwell stepped in for the injured Dean Malenko, teaming with Joe against Loud And Proud in a losing effort. Bagwell and Malenko agreed that it probably wasn’t going to work as a team for them afterwards. A more successful duo, the World tag champs the Steiner Brothers, made short work of the Bad Crew in a dominant showing. </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The Dangerous Alliance pairing of Brian Pillman and Steve Austin took down Rikki Nelson and Chris Chavis in a straightforward encounter that had Paul E. Dangerously beaming at ringside nevertheless. Later, the Alliance were seen brainstorming strategy for the Lethal Lottery. Dangerously noted that with five of them in the draw, odds were good that at least two of them would end up in the same match, hopefully as partners, but they had to be ready to fight one another as well. “Just remember the money,” he advised, which seemed to strike a chord.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The Diamond Mine have come up short in two big matches recently, but remember they’re still a new team – and a tough one, at that! They came out on top over Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes Sunday night, targeting the younger member of the team before interference from Diamond Dallas Page helped them over the line. Maybe stick to ringside, DDP?</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Have you seen the woman who’s been watching every WCW show from the crowd for the last few weeks? Do you recognise her? She certainly had lots of fans around her on Sunday night – enough so that we couldn’t confirm exactly who she was, not for certain. She certainly looked familiar, though!</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Jerry Lawler continues to antagonise the York Foundation. Next week, he’ll face Thomas Rich on the same night that the rest of the Foundation target the Six Man titles! Meanwhile, the night’s main event – and only singles match – saw young Shane Douglas try and Beat The Champ, but Larry Zbyszko was equal to the challenge and left Douglas lying with a piledriver; Zbyszko is now $3,000 better off! Nice work, if you can get it!</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Flair’s first appearance in a month saw him given a warm welcome by the crowd, but on commentary Ross and Dangerously noted that he seemed less than his usual self. Still, the veteran pairing had enough about them to take down Champion and Vegas, who never really got out of first gear as a team.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

It doesn’t seem likely, as their teamwork was even more non-existent than on Saturday night, and it cost them their match against Firebreaker Chip and Sting as a result. Chip, for his part, just seemed delighted to be teaming with the Stinger, and amazed that his team came out on top.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

He at least didn’t seem annoyed by it, which is probably about as ringing an endorsement of Steamboat as the Dragon may ever hope to receive. Pitted against tag specialists Bobby Eaton and Rick Steiner, Haynes and Steamboat were left chasing shadows at times, but they managed to strike a balance between their strength and technique, edging a close contest to advance to the Battlebowl match.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Paired with Arn Anderson, Jack laughed and laughed at the news that he’d be facing Jushin Liger and Larry Zbyszko, clearly delighting in the affronted looks on Anderson and Zbyszko’s faces as Paul E. Dangerously ranted about conspiracies on commentary.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

If Liger is not Cactus’ equal for disregard for his own body, he’s just as wild in his own way, at one point hurling himself over the top rope to level Anderson and Cactus on the entrance ramp. Only when Zbyszko and Anderson were in the ring together the action slow somewhat, and even then Double A made it clear that he wasn’t inclined to give any quarter to a teammate. Still, Zbyszko showed himself every bit Anderson’s equal, and able to go toe to toe with Cactus for a time as well. Had he treated his tag partner a little better, he may have been the one going through to the Battlebowl match, but Zbyszko made clear his disdain for Liger’s high risk style and tagged himself into the match more than once. That ended up costing him as, looking for a tag to escape the attentions of Cactus, Zbyszko saw Liger drop off the apron and leave him alone against their opponents. Moments later, Zbyszko was treated to an Anderson Spinebuster, knocking his team out of the running.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Whether because of the latter duo’s greater tag experience or the inexperience of the younger member of the team, Rich and Bagwell seemed on the back foot for much of the contest, and a Steiner Screwdriver on Bagwell was enough to end the match.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Race pointed out that neither man had been booked in the Lethal Lottery, despite being bigger and meaner than “small fry like El Tigre Blanco”. He suggested that they work together to remind Jesse Ventura of what big and mean can accomplish, with the right motivation. Spivey looked intrigued, and agreed to give it a try.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Between Muta’s wild blows and Koloff’s incredible strength, separating the pair was difficult and dangerous, but eventually some distance was put between them, and their brawl subsided.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Liger shoved him off, and Zbyszko dropped by Madusa who passed him something that Zbyszko smashed Liger in the face with. Staggered, Liger didn’t resist as Zbyszko clamped on the Larryland Dreamer, and the masked man faded fast, causing the referee to call for the bell and earning Zbyszko an extra thousand dollars.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Haynes followed up by grabbing Hayes and slamming him face-first into the mat before pitching him over the top (17). As he turned around, however, the Stocks And Shares Express met him with a double dropkick, knocking him out of the ring and to a hard landing on Hayes (16).</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Mounting the turnbuckles, he flew off with a double axehandle that caught Cactus Jack on the crown of his head, staggering the unpredictable Cactus but not putting him down. Turning on the spot, Cactus faced down the surprised Savage with finger guns and a squealed “Bang bang!”</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Sting was able to flatten Austin in the corner with a Stinger Splash, but before he could capitalise Madusa grabbed his foot from outside the ring and held tight, allowing Steve Armstrong to fell him with a clothesline. Showing no gratitude, Austin grabbed Armstong and pitched him over the top rope (15), leaning over it and laughing at Armstong’s departure, only to be grabbed by Ricky Steamboat in turn and tipped over the top rope (14).</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

As Funk staggered upright he was caught with a Frankensteiner that sent him back the other way and dumped him into the turnbuckles. Catching sight of Morton stepping away from Gibson and Luger for a moment, Steiner took advantage of his lapse in judgment to deliver a Steinerline that sent Morton over the top rope and out of the match (12).</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Lex Luger stepped in his way and took a chair to the gut for his pains. Ricky Steamboat followed, catching a swipe across his arm and shoulder that left him prey to the opportunistic Anderson, who upended him over the top rope (7). Sting managed to make it to his feet in time to for Cactus to swing for the bleachers and crack the chair into his ribs again. Windham snatched the chair away from Cactus to save Sting from further punishment, but that gave Savage the chance to grab the back of the chair and slam it into Windham’s head. As the big Texan staggered backwards, Cactus charged him and took him, chair and all, over the top rope with another Cactus Clothesline (6).</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Mr Koloff, Mr A, my client Rick Rude is the reigning, undisputed number one contender to that World title... at SuperBrawl II in seven weeks’ time. Now, it makes no difference to Rick Rude whether or not you’re the champion, Mr Koloff, but I wanted to let him see you up close and personal – that, and to give you the chance to stand face to face with someone who has no fear in their eyes, a novel experience for you, I’m sure.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I crushed Tom Zenk. I embarrassed Sting. I won the Lethal Lottery and emerged triumphant from the Battlebowl, and above all else I looked good doing all of that. You, Koloff, have been fighting hard to win and keep that title, and good for you, you’ve reach the pinnacle of your career, and I applaud anyone who’s achieved that through hard work, determination, and the ability to kick ass and take names.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I want that belt, believe me, but if Anderson, Pillman, Austin or Zbyszko gets you in the ring in the meantime and tears it away from them, then that’s fine too.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Perhaps the thought of the money got to the Living Legend, or perhaps it was just the power of the All American, but it was Simmons who came out on top, planting Zbyszko with a Spinebuster to claim the Television title for himself, as Paul E. Dangerously blew a gasket on commentary.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Now, I’ll never do that again, but doing it once was irresistible. Anyway, Randy Savage made his Saturday Night debut here, laying into young Scotty Flamingo and coming out on top with the Macho Man Elbow. Afterwards, Tony Schiavone caught up with the Macho Man and asked him his plans for his time in WCW. Savage said that he only had one thing in mind: “Gold. Lots and lots of gold.”</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

However, the young Canadian scored here, fighting like a man with a point to prove as he overcame the veteran brawler with a Missile Dropkick before celebrating what seemed to be cathartic victory.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

He succeeded in defeating Shane Douglas on Saturday night, making him submit to the Figure Four, but still, something isn’t right with Slick Ric.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Thomas Rich also groused about Jerry Lawler, and stated that he’d put an end to the ‘royal jackass’ on Main Event as well. Dustin Rhodes went on to clash with Cactus Jack, but fell to the wildman after a Double Arm DDT. Afterwards, Cactus confronted Simmons backstage – but neither said nor did anything, only watched. Simmons reaction made it clear that that this was no less unsettling, however.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Pillman scored the win for his team with a Shining Wizard, which made Dangerously a lot happier than the TV title result. Jesse Ventura informing Pillman moments later that the Calgary Connection had another title defence next week, however, did not result in equal glee.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Dan Spivey and Mr Hughes united under Harley Race’s guidance and put the rest of WCW on notice with a brutal beatdown of the Young Pistols, culminating in Hughes pinning Smothers with a spinning sideslam.</div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Arn Anderson and Randy Savage now have a Strong Friendship thanks to my intervention before this show. It’s only the second time I’ve got that to work in this game. I think I’ll just use Arn every time; I tried getting Cactus Jack and Owen Hart to like each other, but it didn’t work at all, whether because Ric is an ass or I don’t have any positive relationships with them. It seems like the user character ought to be able to take someone under their wing as a protégé, at least.</em></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">
