Interestingly (for a given version thereof) I have DWB under contract - he signed as a prelim guy, got a fractured skill in his debut against Sting, of all people, and I felt so bad that I put him on a pretty long contract. I've got Kim Anthony about somewhere as well, and DWB is due back later this week after being out for nearly a year. Maybe that's what the Pistols need to move up to the next step?

<p>Beat The Champ: <strong>Bret Hart</strong> © vs. The Diamond Studd – WCW Television Title – Cage Match</p><p>

<em>I see Bret going the distance with this reign, until trading it in for a shot at the US Title....keep building the Diamond Mine up however and it won't be long until Studd is a genuine threat to the Hitman</em></p><p> </p><p>

Nikita Koloff and Dustin Rhodes vs. <strong>The Calgary Connection</strong></p><p>

<em>Tough Pick actually</em></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Sting </strong>vs. Scotty Flamingo</p><p>

<em>I'm pulling for my boy Flamingo here....but we all know that's not happening</em></p><p> </p><p>

Marcus Bagwell vs. <strong>Steve Austin</strong></p><p>

<em>Much like Sting, Austin gets a relatively (for his level anyway) easy opponent</em></p><p> </p><p>

The Thrillseekers vs. <strong>Shawn Michaels and Diamond Dallas Page</strong></p><p>

<em>This would be a huge win for the Seekers.....not just yet though</em></p><p> </p><p>

WCW Special Forces vs.<strong> The Kingdom</strong></p><p>

<em>I'm drawing a blank on who the Kingdom are, but they have a better team name </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Al Snow vs. <strong>Cactus Jack</strong></p>

The Kingdom is Harley Race's crew - specifically in this match it's Mr Hughes and the One Percenters, Ron and Don Harris.

You’re only the third man to successfully defend the Television title five times, and you know that means you have to surrender the title – but with that comes the right to challenge for a title of your choosing, at a time of your choosing.

A steel cage was lowered from the rafters for the main event, as the Diamond Studd sought to bring Television title gold to the Diamond Exchange. Bret Hart has often been at a disadvantage in offering his opponent the chance to choose match types, but inside of a cage Studd’s strength and size advantages were balanced by Hart’s inventiveness and speed, the last of which enabled him to eventually evade the Studd’s grasp and send him flying from the top turnbuckle, before escaping the cage to retain his title for the fifth time!</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;">

Tensions between Randy Savage and Scott Steiner are running high at the moment. The duo are the World tag champions, but with Savage capitalising on Steiner’s moment of weakness last week to book a World title match at the Clash, small wonder that they seem to have spent the last week at one another’s throats! Ricky Steamboat and Barry Windham tried to calm the duo, but had little success. Later in the night, Rude would speculate that Savage would be too distracted to offer a real challenge, and mused that an ‘old friend’ in Bret Hart could be interested in challenging for the gold in the future!</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;">

As WCW gears up for Clash Of The Champions XXII, Sting may end up on the outside looking in. However, he didn’t let that stop him giving his all against Scotty Flamingo in the night’s opener, picking up the win with a Stinger Splash against his young opponent.</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;">

Shawn Michaels and Diamond Dallas Page beat the young duo of Chris Jericho and Lance Storm – the Thrillseekers. Two-thirds of the Six Man champions put on a great effort, but Ric Flair was nowhere to be seen, and after the bell the Diamond Mine joined their partners to deliver a hefty beatdown of the Canadian pairing. Where was the Nature Boy while all this was going on? Partying! And you’d better believe the Thrillseekers were furious about this revelation!</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;">

Cactus Jack absolutely destroyed young Al Snow in his first – and possibly last – WCW match, including reviving his elbow drop from the apron after the victory to emphasise his point. Cactus had strong words for Nikita Koloff after the bell, although Koloff had other things on his mind this Saturday 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;">

Koloff and Dustin Rhodes tackled the Calgary Connection on Saturday night, seeking a measure of vengeance for the injured Barry Windham. Koloff and Rhodes put on a great showing against their more experienced opponents, but the Connection had an x factor – albeit a somewhat unexpected one – in the form of Steve Austin, who caught Rhodes behind the referee’s back and handed victory to the Connection. Paul E. Dangerously, of course, was beyond delighted on commentary as Austin and the Connection gloated.</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 gained a victory of his own as he took down Marcus Bagwell with his Hollywood And Vine submission hold – and he did it all by himself, albeit with a low blow to stop Bagwell in his tracks as he was starting to gain momentum. Bagwell was understandably put out after the bell, but chalked it up to experience. He’s certainly getting a lot of that recently!</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;">Pity the WCW Special Forces. They mean well, but challenging the Kingdom seems to be a fools errand right now – and Big Van Vader hammered the point home after the bell with a vicious beatdown on the three weary warriors. Speaking of which, will we see the Ultimate Warrior again after he was assaulted by Vader at WrestleWar ‘92?</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

So I was with you here at the start of the game, but for some reason I fell off back right before Nikita won the belt. It wasn't a quality thing, just my failing, as this has kept being a highlight of the board. But now I've rectified that by taking the past few days to read the whole diary over. Now that I'm caught up again, I look forward to the continuing adventures of "Naitch" as he leads us down THAT AISLE to the top!

Blanco told Michaels that he knew all about fighting men who were all mouth, with nothing underneath to back it up – perhaps something got lost in translation? When tying up, Michaels and Blanco put on a very impressive display of fast-paced wrestling that saw them soaring over and above the ring, before going to the mat in a fine display of counter wrestling. The fans appreciated the two young competitors’ efforts, although Blanco was certainly the favourite – a shame, then, that Michaels got inside his guard and levelled him with a Teardrop Suplex to take the win and give him another chance to pose and gloat...</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;"> Thomas Rich is a wily veteran and former World champion, but Ron Simmons is an All-American and one of the most powerful men in the business.

Randy Savage and Bret Hart vs. Rick Rude and Arn Anderson

Probably by DQ when the Alliance attacks

As much as it pains me to type.....Storm is focused on Tag Team action right now, and Hughes is focused on being a big ass monster....Storm would make a great TV Champ though, even if he didn’t go the distance with defences

Scott Armstrong vs. Big Van Vader

Yeah.....poor Scott.....the Armstrong Curse ain’t got nothing on the beating Vader is about to dish out

Scott Steiner vs. Owen Hart

Could the Owen beat Scotty if this was a tag match? Sure....on his own though it’s gonna be a big ask

Nikita Koloff vs. Steve Austin

A big victory over the former Champion? That’s one way to make Austin look huge

Sting vs. Vinnie Vegas

Vegas is going bust tonight.....Kevin Mash might be a legit threat to Sting before long, but Vinnie Vegas ain’t got a cat in hells chance

Ricky Steamboat and Marcus Bagwell vs. Shawn Michaels and the Diamond Studd

Steamers could have picked up the win here with a better partner.....where’s Shane Douglas when you need him
