Gentleman Raven · August 16, 2017

Saturday, week 1, January 1994 <div style="text-align:center;">Taped from the St. Pete Times Forum, Tampa, FL. Broadcast via TBS at Late Evening... WCW presents... <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div>WCW SATURDAY NIGHT</div></div><div></div></blockquote></div> Contract Signing The show begins with a recap from last weeks contract signing between WCW World Heavyweight champion Ric Flair and his challenger at Bash at the Beach Hulk Hogan. Even Ted Turner himself was there for this illustrious event. The contracts were signed, sealed and delivered. We are going to see Ric Flair versus Hulk Hogan at Bash at the Beach for the WCW World Heavyweight title! Match #1: WCW World Television Title Match. 15 Minute Time Limit <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Lord Steven Regal© defends vs. Terry Taylor Our opening match sees Lord Steven Regal defend the WCW World Television title against Terry Taylor. Both men keep the match to the mat with Taylor using a little of speed to take the advantage whenever he can. Regal, though, is not above cheating to keep his title and that is shown when Sir William strikes Terry Taylor in the back with his umbrella outside the ring. Of course, Regal distracted the official during this moment in time. Close to the nine minute mark, Regal is in full control and brings Taylor to the mat with a perfectly executed butterfly suplex. He quickly locks on the Regal Stretch and, after a moment of fighting, Taylor is forced to submit, giving Regal a successful title defense. Lord Steven Regal d. Terry Taylor =C+</div></blockquote> Always Stunning From there, we are taken down to the interview area where Gene Okerlund is standing by with the WCW United States champion Steve Austin. Stunning Steve makes the camera motion toward the camera as Okerlund begins the interview. Gene Okerlund: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am here tonight with the United States champion Stunning Steve Austin. Steve, in just a few short weeks, you will be defending the United States title against the challenger Ricky The Dragon Steamboat at Bash at the Beach. Your thoughts as we head toward that big pay-per-view event?" Steve Austin: "My thoughts, Gene? My thoughts are simple. I am going to be stepping in the ring with a man that thinks he is a Dragon. I think the old man has gone senile. Does he really think that he is good enough to step in the ring with Stunning Steve Austin? I don't think so. He is nowhere near my level. As a matter of fact, the bottom line is that there's no one in this company that's on my level. That includes Ricky Steamboat and that even includes the great Hulk Hogan. What do you want?" Steve Austin is distracted when Brian Pillman walks out from the back and approaches the interview set. Tony Schiavone reminds everyone that Austin is the man that put Pillman out of action. Pillman doesn't waste words. Instead, he throws a punch, knocking Austin backward but Austin remains on his feet. The two men nearly come to blows again but security steps in to keep the two men separated. They escort Austin to the back as Pillman is taken to the ring because his match is next. Match #2: <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>'The Hustler' Rip Rogers vs. 'Flyin' Brian Pillman This is an extremely short match between these two wrestlers. The Hustler gets in a cheap shot in the first minute but Pillman immediately fires back and maintains control. Pillman shows he still has some high flying ability when he catches Rip Rogers with a pair of headscissors takeovers. He catches Rogers with an early dropkick and before the match even goes to a minute and a half, Pillman hits Rogers with the Air Pillman, a springboard clothesline. Pillman makes the cover and scores the three count. Brian Pillman p. Rip Rogers =C-</div></blockquote> The Anderson Way We are taken to an exclusive WCW video backstage that shows the locker room area. Inside this locker room area stand Dustin Rhodes and Arn Anderson. Dustin Rhodes: "Arn, I just want to thank you again for accepting my friendship. It really means a lot to me. It's going to mean a lot more when we step in the ring with the Stud Stable and teach them a thing or two." Arn Anderson: "Dustin, I have always been the best talent evaluator in the business. Whether it's been Barry Windham or Lex Luger or Ole Anderson or Tully Blanchard, I have teamed with the very best in this business. So I am telling you right now that you need to make sure you listen to what I have to say when it comes to this tag team match. We are going to do things the Anderson way. That means we're not going to wear white hats going into this match. We're going to do whatever it takes to walk away with a victory because that is what's important." Dustin Rhodes: "Just remember, you have to be able to look at yourself in the mirror every night. But I will be watching your match tonight with Terry Funk. If the Stud Stable interfere, you can count on me to come down and watch your back." Arn Anderson: "Who would have thought of a Rhodes telling an Anderson he's going to watch his back? You're alright, kid. Now, let's get this done." A high five later and we head to the ring for our main event of the first hour. Match #3: <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>'The Texas Bronco' Terry Funk vs. 'Double A' Arn Anderson This match between two veterans of the ring in Terry Funk and Arn Anderson is the main event contest of the first hour here on WCW Saturday Night. As he usually does, Anderson selects a body part of his opponent and immediately sets to work on that body part. In this case, it's the right arm of Terry Funk. Anderson scores a near fall early on following a single arm DDT on this right arm. The match does turn to brawling during the middle section and this is where Terry Funk takes control. Funk sends Anderson out of the ring and then rams him right into the ring post. Funk gets warned by the referee but shrugs it off. Around the eleven minute mark, Funk goes for the Texas Piledriver but Anderson blocks it and then elevates Funk with a back body drop. Both men lie on the mat and referee Randy Anderson begins the count. The count is broken when Anderson reaches his feet. He ducks a clothesline attempt by Funk and then catches him with a Spinebuster, Anderson style. It takes Anderson a moment before he drags his thumb across his throat and makes the cover but Funk manages a foot on the ropes to break that up. The former Enforcer of the Horsemen continues his momentum, bringing Terry Funk up and down with a hammerlock transitioned into a body slam on that arm. A little over seventeen minutes into the match, Anderson sets up Funk for the Anderson DDT. Instead, though, he takes a clothesline from Meng causing the referee to immediately call for the bell and disqualify Funk. Arn Anderson d. Terry Funk =B</div></blockquote> The Numbers Game The bell has sounded but Col. Robert Parker enters the ring and begins directing traffic with Meng assaulting Arn Anderson as Terry Funk begins to recover. Meng picks up Anderson and catches him with a hard savate kick right underneath the chin. As Anderson goes down, Dustin Rhodes slides into the ring. He fires a Bionic Elbow to Terry Funk, sending Funk back down off his feet. Rhodes fires a Bionic Elbow to the skull of Meng but it doesn't have any effect on the hard head of the Tongan Warrior. Instead, it seems to hurt Rhodes' skull. Bunkhouse Buck slides into the ring and grabs the arm of Rhodes, holding him as Meng catches him with a savate kick like he gave to Anderson. Rhodes is tossed down by Buck to lie beside Anderson. Col. Robert Parker raises the arm of his Stud Stable members giving them the advantage and momentum right now to end the first hour of action. Bash at the Beach Control Center The second hour begins by going to a studio shot with Gordon Solie. Gordon Solie: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Bash at the Beach Control Center. I'm Gordon Solie. We are just a few weeks away from the Bash where we will see the WCW World Heavyweight title defended as Ric Flair steps in the ring with Hulk Hogan in Hogan's WCW debut match. Right now, I would like to go to a very special interview featuring The Immortal Hulk Hogan." From there, the video cuts to a training montage featuring Hulk Hogan. American Made plays in the background as we see Hogan lifting weights and jumping rope. It is very reminiscent of watching a training montage on any of the Rocky movies. After this, we go to Hogan himself, ready to cut an interview. Hulk Hogan: "Well, let me tell you something, Hulkamaniacs! We are just a few weeks away from me taking on that nasty dude, Ric Flair, at Bash at the Beach 1994. I can tell you that I have been lifting weights, taking my vitamins and saying my prayers to the big Hulkamaniac in the sky, brother. I have been doing everything that I can to prepare for this match. I have been listening to all my Hulkamaniacs all over the world. I can tell you, brother, that Hulkamania is running wild from one end of the United States to the other end. Nature Boy, we are just a few weeks away from you feeling the power of Hulkamania, dude. At Bash at the Beach, when you're standing in your locker room and looking in the mirror, you're going to have to ask yourself one question, brother. That question is whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when the power of Hulkamania and all these Hulkamaniacs runs wild over you?" Hulk Hogan poses for the camera and we move back to the ringside area. Good Gawd! The fans here in Tampa boo the arrival of Diamond Dallas Page along with his Diamond Doll. DDP climbs up on the apron of the ring and forces the Doll to hold the ropes open so he can step inside the ring. DDP yells at a fan sitting in the front row before asking for and receiving a microphone. Diamond Dallas Page: "First of all, you people in the audience need to shut up and listen to what I have to say. Take a good look in this ring and what you dummies are seeing right here is a man who is chiseled stone and b a double d bad to the bone. No matter what I have done, I have proven that I am the best. As a commentator, I was the best in the world. As a manager, I was the best in the world and now, as a wrestler, good gawd! Just take a good look at me. Now, Doll, honey, take off this robe so I can show the audience what real talent looks like." DDP places his arms out to the side and stands there as the Diamond Doll follows his orders. She removes his robe and folds it over her arm. DDP runs his fingers through his hair and looks across the ring toward Frankie Lancaster, his opponent for tonight. He motions the Doll out of the ring and we have our next contest on WCW Saturday Night. Match #4: <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>'DDP' Diamond Dallas Page vs. Frankie Lancaster As one would expect, this match is dominated by Diamond Dallas Page in extremely short fashion. Within the first minute, DDP catches Lancaster with a tilt-a-whirl slam and a gutwrench style gutbuster. DDP moves over to the corner and forces the Diamond Doll to wipe his brow, drawing some boos from this audience. The audience tries to get behind Lancaster but it's to no avail. DDP catches Lancaster with a wristlock and then multiple shoulder blocks to bring him to the mat. He flashes the diamond sign and then waits for Lancaster to get to his feet before hitting him with the Diamond Cutter! Lancaster is out on the mat but DDP gets Diamond Doll to wipe his brow again before he makes the cover. The referee drops down and counts to three. He could've counted to one hundred. Diamond Dallas Page p. Frankie Lancaster =C-</div></blockquote> What Time Is it? A pre-recorded video begins to play for the fans watching at home. This one shows Harley Race standing in front of a screen with the WCW logo along with the man they call Vader. Harley Race: "I want everyone in this business to take a good look at this man standing right here. Is this the man that you would want coming at you in a dark alley? I don't think so. This is the toughest man that I have ever known in this business. Guardian Angel, you think you want some of the man they call Vader? At Bash at the Beach, you're going to get that and then some because Vader has a challenge to issue to you for that match. Vader? Vader: "Guardian Angel, take a look at your watch. When you do, you're going to understand what I mean when I say that it is Vader time. At Bash at the Beach, I don't want some insignificant referee stepping in and stopping me from taking you out for good. So what I want from you is a no disqualification, no count out match. Are you man enough to step into the ring with me with no rules? Are you tough enough to face the man they call Vader? We know you're mostly made of chicken, Guardian Angel, so Harley Race and I know that you'll probably say no to this challenge and prove that you've got a yellow streak running down your back. At Bash at the Beach, I am going to make sure that back gets broken, Vader style." Vader holds up the 'V' symbol with his fingers and we head to the interview area. Stylin' And Profilin!' Standing by at the interview area are Gene Okerlund, Ric Flair and Sensuous Sherri. Flair is dressed to compete, of course, as he is in the main event against Ricky Steamboat. Gene Okerlund: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Mean Gene Okerlund here alongside the WCW World Heavyweight champion Ric Flair and, of course, the lovely Sensuous Sherri. Ric, we know you've got a match coming up at Bash at the Beach against Hulk Hogan but, tonight, you face someone all too familiar with you in Ricky The Dragon Steamboat. Your thoughts going into tonight's match? Ric Flair: "Mean Whooo Gene! We are in Tampa, Florida and tonight there's a party going down that will be a celebration of another victory by The Nature Boy over Ricky Steamboat. Tonight, Dragon, you're going to walk that aisle, once again, and face off against the very best in this industry. I can prove that I'm the best because I'm the man with the ten pounds of gold around my waist. You can forget any of those imposters and those look-alike titles because this is the only title that matters. This is the WCW World Heavyweight title. This title is around the waist of the only man that matters and that is The Nature Boy Ric Flair. Tonight, on the SuperStation, I am going to walk up the aisle and prove, once again, that I am the best. It doesn't matter whether it's Ricky Steamboat tonight or Hulk Hogan at Bash at the Beach, they're all going to fall to their knees in front of the very best. I am a limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling, dealing son of a gun that kisses all the girls and leaves them in tears because they know that at the end of the day they cannot keep the Nature Boy to themselves. Whooo! Gene-o, you're invited to the party tonight. Sherri, make sure he gets an invitation. But, tonight, Tampa Florida, you're going to see greatness. Whooo!" Ric Flair does a strut before he heads toward the ring. Gene Okerlund sends us back to the ring for our main event match. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">*MAIN EVENT*</div></div></blockquote> Match #5: Non Title Match <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair vs. Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat It is time for our main event contest of the evening. This is a non title match between the WCW World Heavyweight champion Ric Flair and the number one contender to the WCW United States title, Ricky Steamboat. These two men have met various times over the years and that is talked about by Tony Schiavone in the first few minutes of the contest. Flair plays a good cat and mouse game earlier with Steamboat, going outside the ring and using the ropes and doing whatever he can to thwart the momentum that Steamboat acquires. Steamboat, on the other hand, shows some skill in hitting a picture perfect dropkick on Flair in the center of the ring. Steamboat matches Flair chop for chop in the corner early on but the momentum switches when The Dragon goes for a high knee in the corner and Flair moves out of the way. Steamboat strikes the corner with his right knee and drops to the mat, holding it. Flair moves right in and starts going to work on the knee. He does things like laying it across the bottom rope and hitting a seated senton on the knee and ramming it hard against the ring post. Around eighteen minutes into the match, Flair goes for the Figure Four but Steamboat reverses it into a small package, scoring a two count.</div></blockquote> Tony Schiavone: "We very nearly saw Ricky Steamboat pull off a huge win against the World Champion! This may be one of the biggest matches in the history of WCW Saturday Night!" <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Tony Schiavone is right about that as Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat show some pretty good chemistry in the ring together. The momentum shifts back and forth in the match with neither man completely sustaining things as we move forward into the contest. Steamboat whips Flair into the turnbuckle and he flips up and over, landing on the apron. He runs across and climbs the turnbuckle but Steamboat is there to meet him with a big slam. Steamboat takes control and locks Flair in the elevated double chicken wing! Flair refuses to submit and Sensuous Sherri looks worried at ringside. Steamboat releases the hold and drops Flair to the mat. It would seem that Steamboat's right knee gave out on him. Steamboat turns and heads to the top turnbuckle slowly, relying on his left leg. Sensuous Sherri slides her shoe in the ring and climbs up on the apron, getting the attention of both the referee and Ricky Steamboat. Both of them yell at her to get down but she refuses, keeping them both distracted. Flair grabs the shoe she tossed in the ring and slowly moves over to Steamboat, striking him in the leg with the shoe before dropping it to ringside. Steamboat falls inside the ring and Flair bounces off the ropes -- knee drop! Flair moves around and grabs the legs of Steamboat -- Figure Four Leglock! Sherri drops off the apron and the referee checks on Steamboat before calling for the bell. Ric Flair d. Ricky Steamboat =A</div></blockquote> I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends The match is over but Ric Flair refuses to release the Figure Four on Ricky Steamboat! Sensuous Sherri comes in the ring and throws the referee out to ringside. Flair grabs the middle rope, using it for leverage as Steamboat cries out in pain. The crowd rises to their feet as a blur runs from the back toward the ring. That blur is revealed to be Sting! Sting slides in the ring and drops down, throwing punches to Flair and breaking the Figure Four! Sensuous Sherri jumps on Sting's back and Sting stands up, swinging around, trying to get her off him. One final swing sends Sherri dropping to the mat. Sting ducks a clothesline attempt by Flair and then catches him with a kick to the gut. Sting whips Flair to the turnbuckle. He backs into the opposite corner and then charges, catching Flair with a Stinger Splash! Flair falls face-first on the mat and then Sherri rolls him outside the ring. Sensuous Sherri and Ric Flair back up the aisle with the WCW World Heavyweight title belt. Sting poses in the ring as the show comes to a close. Sting releases a howl as Eric Bischoff reminds everyone to tune in to WCW Main Event tomorrow night on TBS.

The winner of this match will move forward to take on Hulk Hogan at Bash at the Beach. -Also on WCW Saturday Night, we will be seeing Ron Simmons step in the ring and issue an open challenge to anyone on the roster. Who will step up from the back to face the former All American Florida State Seminole? There's only one way to find out and that's to make sure you tune in to TBS for WCW Saturday Night. -Another match we will be seeing this evening will feature wrestlers that are tag team specialists. On one side of the ring, we will see the team known as Bad Attitude, which consists of Bobby Eaton and Steve Keirn. On the other side of the ring, we will see the team of Arn Anderson and Dustin Rhodes. Both teams could use a win to gain some momentum. -Other wrestlers we will be seeing in action include Erik Watts, The Gambler, Pretty Wonderful and more!</div></blockquote> WCW World Television Title Match 15 Minute Time Limit Lord Steven Regal defends vs. Johnny B.

He is more of a jobber at the moment but who knows what will happen for his career. The more he is on the shows, the more popular he will get.

Saturday, week 2, January 1994 <div style="text-align:center;">Taped from the DC Armory, Washington, DC. Broadcast via TBS at Late Evening... WCW presents... <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div>WCW SATURDAY NIGHT</div></div><div></div></blockquote></div> This Happened Last Week A video plays to recap last week's main event match pitting Ric Flair against Ricky Steamboat. Flair wins via the Figure Four but refuses to release the hold after the match is over. This draws Sting from the back, who runs the WCW World champion out of the ring. Sting poses inside the ring to end the show. Match #1: WCW World Television Title Match. 15 Minute Time Limit <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Lord Steven Regal© defends vs. Johnny B. Badd Our opening match here on WCW Saturday Night is a World Television title defense as Lord Steven Regal faces off with a nemesis in Johnny B. Badd. Regal does his best to keep Badd grounded in the early going but Badd will not stay on the ground. Badd scores a two count when he comes flying off the top turnbuckle with a sunset flip on Regal. Regal, on the other hand, has something that Badd does not and that is Sir William. Around the ten minute mark, Sir William manages to strike Badd in the back with his umbrella. Badd stumbles forward and Regal brings him to the mat with a butterfly suplex. This is quickly transitioned into the Regal Stretch, leaving Badd no choice but to submit. This leads to another successful title defense for Lord Steven Regal. Lord Steven Regal d. Johnny B. Badd =B-</div></blockquote> The Guardian Angel Speaks The attention turns down to the interview area where Gene Okerlund is standing by with The Guardian Angel. Gene Okerlund: "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Don't forget to call the WCW hotline at the number down at the bottom of your screen for the latest news regarding Bash at the Beach! I am joined, at this time, by one of the men who will be wrestling at the Bash, The Guardian Angel. Now, Guardian Angel, Vader has challenged you to make your match at Bash at the Beach a no disqualification match. What is your response to this challenge?" The Guardian Angel: "My response, Gene? My response is that when I was walking the street as part of The Guardian Angels there was no disqualification when a man approached me and wanted to attack me. If Vader thinks I am afraid to take his challenge then he is one wrong man. Vader, I accept your challenge and I will make sure that when you step in the ring with me, you're going to know what hard times is all about." The interview is interrupted by the presence of Vader and Harley Race. The two men get in the face of The Guardian Angel and a fight breaks out between the two principle wrestlers. Heavy handed punches are thrown by both sides until security and officials come and manage to separate the two men. Gene Okerlund is out of there but making his presence known is the WCW Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel. Bockwinkel looks at the two men who are snapping at each other like rabid dogs. Nick Bockwinkel: "I've had enough of this! You two men need to keep separated until Bash at the Beach. If either of you break this rule, you will both be suspended without pay and the Bash at the Beach match will be called off." Nick Bockwinkel stands as a beacon of authority as we go back to the ring for our second match. Match #2: <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Bad Attitude vs. 'Double A' Arn Anderson & 'The Natural' Dustin Rhodes Our second match is a tag team encounter that is actually a very quick match considering the veterans involved. The match is a one-sided affair with Arn Anderson and Dustin Rhodes dominating the team known as Bad Attitude. Little more than three minutes into the contest, Arn Anderson catches Bobby Eaton with a spinebuster and then an Anderson DDT. Anderson makes the cover as Rhodes knocks Steve Keirn off the apron. The referee drops down and makes the three count, giving Anderson and Rhodes the victory. Arn Anderson & Dustin Rhodes p. Bad Attitude =C-</div></blockquote> He's Not Heavy, He's My Brother From the ring, we move to the interview area where the WCW World Tag Team champions are standing by with Mean Gene. Gene Okerlund: "Good evening, everyone. A big victory tonight by Arn Anderson and Dustin Rhodes. But joining me at this time are the WCW World Tag Team champions Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan, along with Dave Sullivan. Gentlemen, let's take a look back at what happened last Sunday night on WCW Main Event." A clip is shown from WCW Main Event last Sunday. Cactus Jack is accidentally struck by Dave Sullivan, leading to Paul Orndorff dropping Cactus Jack with a Piledriver and getting the victory. After the match is shown, as well, when Jack shoves Dave to the mat and walks away. We are taken back to the interview area. Kevin Sullivan: "Gene, let me stop you right there. What happened last Sunday is in the past and I think we have all moved on from there. Right, Dave? You tell him." Dave Sullivan: "That's right, big brother. I even have something I want to give Cactus Jack to make up for what happened. Ushers, please bring out my present for Cactus Jack!" A few ushers walk out with a life-sized teddy bear. They hand the teddy bear over to Cactus Jack, who smiles and sticks his tongue through the gap in his teeth. Cactus Jack: "This is what YOU got ME, Dave? Bang! Bang!" Jack grabs the teddy bear and twists the head off, tossing it to the ground. Dave's eyes go wide and he drops to his knees grabbing the two parts of the teddy bear. He can be seen crying as Jack looks right into Kevin's eyes. Cactus Jack: "Don't bring him near me. I'll see you at Bash at the Beach." Jack walks off while Kevin tries to console his brother. We head back to the ring. Open Challenge The crowd boos as Ron Simmons walks out from the back. He steps inside the ring and has a microphone ready to talk. Ron Simmons: "First of all, you people need to shut up and show me the proper respect that I deserve. I am a former world champion, after all. But I'm not a guy to sit back, lick my wounds and complain about not getting a world title rematch. Instead, I'm out here to give any wrestler in the back a chance to step in the ring with the best former world champion in the business. So any of you idiots that want to step in the ring with an All-American, step up or step away." Ron Simmons tosses the microphone away and awaits his opponent. The crowd is in shock to see the WCW return of a man who has been gone around a year. That man is The British Bulldog! Match #3: <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>'The All American' Ron Simmons vs. The British Bulldog The crowd is very happy about the arrival of The British Bulldog tonight on WCW Saturday Night. It is the return of The British Bulldog but it is actually a very even and open fight between the two men. Highlights include Ron Simmons shoving The British Bulldog against the ring post early on. Back in the ring, Simmons catches The British Bulldog with a diving shoulderblock off the second turnbuckle, scoring a two count on the British wrestler. The British Bulldog comes back with a dropkick and a show of strength when he lifts Ron Simmons up and holds him in a delayed vertical suplex before dropping him hard to the mat. The crowd cheers on The British Bulldog when he catches Simmons with a clothesline and then lifts the All-American up on his shoulder, catching him with the Running Powerslam! Bulldog makes the cover, hooking the far leg and scoring the three count for his return! The British Bulldog d. Ron Simmons =B</div></blockquote> Sting Says A Few Words From the ring, we move down to the interview stage where we see Gene Okerlund standing by with the man who will be in our main event tonight, Sting! Gene Okerlund: "A big return for The British Bulldog tonight. Speaking of tonight, I am joined by the man called Sting. Sting, tonight, you step inside the ring with a man you have faced many times over the years. Your opponent will be Ric Flair and your fight is not only for the WCW World Heavyweight title but for the opportunity to wrestle Hulk Hogan in his WCW debut match at Bash at the Beach. Can I get a few thoughts from you?" Sting: "Sure, you can get a few thoughts, Gene. I have quite a few when it comes to Ric Flair and Sensuous Sherri. The only reason that Ric Flair beat me at the Clash was because of Sherri at ringside. Tonight, I am going to..." The lights begin to flicker around the arena, getting the attention of Sting. Sting: "Did someone forget to pay the light bill? But, as I was saying, tonight I am going to..." The lights flicker again and this time Sting is interrupted by a voice coming from nowhere and everywhere at the same time. Distorted Voice: "STING! I will never forget you. I am coming for you again. Your past is coming back to haunt you." The voice laughs as Sting looks spooked for a moment. Sting just shakes his head and turns, walking away from the interview area. Gene Okerlund doesn't seem to know what to do so we just go back to the ring for our next contest as the first hour comes to a close. Match #4: <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>The Gambler vs. Erik Watts Beginning the second hour is our fourth match as Erik Watts steps into the ring with The Gambler. In the first minute, The Gambler throws a bunch of playing cards in Watts' face. This is about the only offense that The Gambler gets in this match. The match is kept short and dominated by Erik Watts. Watts gets Gambler in a corner and throws some punches before spinning The Gambler around and sending him shoulder-first through the turnbuckle to the ring post. In a little over four minutes, Watts catches The Gambler with an STF in the middle of the ring. Gambler struggles for a moment before being forced to submit, giving Watts a big victory here on Saturday Night. Erik Watts d. The Gambler =D-</div></blockquote> The Nature Boy Responds Once again, we move down to the interview stage where Gene Okerlund is standing by. This time, he is with the WCW World Heavyweight champion, Ric Flair, along with Sensuous Sherri. Gene Okerlund: "What great action we have seen so far here on WCW Saturday Night. Speaking of great action, tonight's main event is going to feature this man, the WCW World champion Ric Flair going one on one with Sting for the title. Ric, I know you have a few things to say about that match tonight." Ric Flair: "Mean Gene, tonight, there's a party going on in Washington, D.C. and it's not taking place in the White House because Space Mountain has arrived in our country's capital. Whoo! Sting, tonight, we're stepping back in the ring together one more time. You've got one more time to walk that aisle against a limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheeling,d ealing son of a gun! I can say that I'm the best because I've got the ten pounds of gold to prove it. Hogan, you better be watching this match, big man, because you're going to be walking that aisle at Bash at the Beach. The bottom line is that when we finish at Bash at the Beach, all the little Hulkamaniacs are going to be crying because their hero didn't live up to their expectations. At Bash at the Beach and tonight the man in the custom made clothes that lives in the big house on the big side of town is going to celebrate a victory. Whoo!" Ric Flair does a strut away from Gene Okerlund and we are taken to a video. Returning To WCW This video features the future return of two former WCW World tag team champions. This team began teaming together in January of 1989. They are former three time WCW World tag team champions. But they have not won those titles since 1992. The team shown on the video is The Steiner Brothers! Scott is shown throwing a wrestler with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Rick is shown barking around the ring before taking down another wrestler with a Steinerline. Rick drops down to all fours and Scott stands over him in the classic Steiner Brothers pose. The Steiner Brothers return to WCW in two weeks. Match #5: <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Pretty Wonderful vs. 'Hard Work' Bobby Walker & Mark Starr Speaking of tag teams, the team going for the WCW World tag team titles at Bash at the Beach, Pretty Wonderful, is in action right now as they take on the unit of Bobby Walker and Mark Starr. As anyone who knows these four men, they would know that this match is dominated by Paul Orndorff and Paul Roma. Orndorff's performance in this short match definitely stands out as being good. Orndorff shows his skill with a few forearm strikes and a belly to back suplex on Mark Starr. Not even four minutes into the match, Orndorff drops Starr with a Piledriver and makes the cover, hooking the leg. He scores the three count for a momentous victory for his team. Pretty Wonderful p. Bobby Walker & Mark Starr =C-</div></blockquote> The Stud Stable...Loses A Stud? The interview stage is, once again, the focus tonight. Gene Okerlund is standing by with a group of wrestlers known as The Stud Stable, which includes Col. Robert Parker, Meng, Terry Funk and Bunkhouse Buck. Gene Okerlund: "Tonight has been a spectactular night here on WCW Saturday Night. I am joined right now by the group known as The Stud Stable, managed by Col. Robert Parker. Robert, in eight days, your men will step in the ring with Arn Anderson and Dustin Rhodes. Do you have anything to say about it?" Col. Robert Parker: "Take a good look at this group standing here around you, Gene. We're a well-oiled machine. Now, take a good look at our opponents at Bash at the Beach. Take a look at their history and you will see that an Anderson and a Rhodes can never get along long enough for the two of them to claim a victory." Terry Funk: "Anderson is nothing but a yellow dog! And Rhodes is the son of a moron!" As Terry Funk speaks, there is a disturbance behind the group. The attention turns to Bunkhouse Buck but before he can speak, he is struck from behind by Arn Anderson! Anderson has attacked Buck with a drive-by hit from a crowbar to the head! Buck goes down on the interview stage as Anderson takes off, escaping through the crowd with Terry Funk on his heels. Gene Okerlund: "Let's get some help out here!" Col. Robert Parker checks on Bunkhouse Buck as we cut away to the Control Center. Bash at the Beach Control Center The Bash at the Beach Control Center begins, showing Gordon Solie sitting at a desk. Behind him is the WCW Bash at the Beach promotional poster. Gordon Solie: "Welcome to the Bash at the Beach Control Center. I'm Gordon Solie and we are only eight days away from the biggest show of the summer. In the main event of that show, we will see either Ric Flair or Sting put up the WCW World heavyweight title against the debut of the man called Hulk Hogan. Here at the Control Center, we are going to an interview with the challenger who has a very special announcement." From here, the video cuts to Hulk Hogan flexing inside a ring. Hogan looks up to the camera. Hulk Hogan: "Let me tell you something, Hulkamaniacs. In eight days, Hulkamania is going to run wild at the Bash at the Beach against that nasty dude Ric Flair or against my friend, Sting. Sting, I am hoping that it's you versus me, brother. No matter who it is, I want everyone to know that I will be in the ring next week on WCW Saturday Night, brothers, to confront the WCW champion. When I get there next week, I'm going to ask you one question and that question is whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when the power of Hulkamania and all these Hulkamaniacs runs wild over you?!" Hulk Hogan flexes and we head to the ring for our main event. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">*MAIN EVENT*</div></div></blockquote> Match #5: WCW World Heavyweight Championship Match <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair© vs. Sting It is the main event contest and this is a WCW Saturday Night match for the WCW world heavyweight championship! Just like last week, these two men have met various times in their history here in WCW. In the first few minutes, Tony Schiavone talks about their history and just how great both of these men are. Flair plays a cat and mouse game with Sting in the early going. He goes outside the ring several times when Sting gets the advantage to break the momentum. Back in the ring, Sting catches Flair with a gorilla press slam, sending Flair hard to the mat as Flair grabs his back in pain. Sting moves in but Flair pokes him in the eye. He shoves Sting back in the corner and laces up his chest with several knife edge chops. Flair takes control for several minutes, focusing on Sting's right knee, until he goes for a running knee drop but Sting rolls out of the way! The crowd claps and stomps their feet, giving Sting some momentum as we are fourteen minutes into the match. Sting gets to his feet and begins throwing some punches to Flair! He Irish whips Flair to the turnbuckle and Flair flips up and over the top. He runs along the apron but Sting catches him with a clothesline that sends him down to ringside. Speaking of ringside, there is a disturbance as someone walks out from the back.</div></blockquote> Tony Schiavone: "That's Barry Windham! What is he doing here? Last we saw him was at Slamboree where he lost to Ric Flair." <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44106" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Barry Windham stands in a neutral corner away from Sensuous Sherri. Sting pulls Ric Flair back in the ring with a delayed vertical suplex that brings the WCW World champion to the mat. Sting releases a howl that is repeated back by the crowd. The little Stingers are on their feet as Sting pulls up Flair and whips him into the turnbuckle. Sting backs up and then charges the corner, Flair pulls the referee in the corner and the Stinger Splash catches the referee instead of Flair! Referee Nick Patrick collapses on the mat and Flair catches Sting with a low blow. Sting drops to his knees and into the ring comes Barry Windham! Windham stands between Flair and Sting and the crowd cheers. Windham stares down The Nature Boy as he adjusts the glove on his right hand. Flair begs off from Windham, moving into the corner with Sensuous Sherri. Sherri climbs on the apron and hands Flair her high heeled shoe! Flair moves back toward Windham and Sting. He steps around Windham and goes to hit Sting with the shoe but Windham blocks him! Windham grabs the shoe from Flair! The crowd cheers loudly and Flair's eyes go wide! He begs off again and Windham strikes...Sting with the shoe! Flair smiles as Sting collapses to the mat. Windham exits the ring as Flair turns Sting around before locking in the Figure Four! Windham and Sherri wake up referee Nick Patrick as Flair grabs the middle rope to put more pressure on Sting. Nick Patrick sees the shoulders down of Sting and begins the count, making the three count. Ric Flair retains the title. Ric Flair d. Sting =A</div></blockquote> I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends Part 2 The crowd boos loudly as the bell has sounded. Ric Flair releases the Figure Four as Barry Windham and Sensuous Sherri bring the WCW World heavyweight title belt into the ring. Windham puts the belt around the waist of Ric Flair and then raises his arm in victory. The three of them stand tall in the center of the ring as Tony Schiavone cries foul. What a horrible way to end the show but we're here at the end. Ric Flair, Barry Windham and Sensuous Sherri stand tall as the show comes to a close. Tony Schiavone reminds everyone to tune in to WCW Main Event tomorrow night on TBS!

On this night, the fans in California will get to see the arrival of 'The Immortal' Hulk Hogan to WCW Saturday Night! With both him and Ric Flair in the building, we are guaranteed to see some explosions. What will happen only one day away from their phenomenal match at Bash at the Beach? Make sure you tune in and find out! -Not only will we get to see that confrontation, we will have a main event that is definitely pay-per-view worthy. Last week, we saw the return of Barry Windham as he joined forces with Ric Flair and cost Sting his shot at the WCW World Heavyweight title. On this night, our main event is going to see Sting get a shot at revenge when he takes on Barry Windham in one on one action. -A non-title match is on the cards tonight as Steve Austin steps in the ring to take on The Guardian Angel. Both of these men have big matches at Bash at the Beach where Austin will defend the United States title against Ricky Steamboat and The Guardian Angel will face Vader in a no disqualification match. Which man will gain momentum one day away from those big matches? -Other wrestlers we will be seeing in action include Lord Steven Regal, The Patriot, Diamond Dallas Page and more!</div></blockquote> WCW World Television Title Match 15 Minute Time Limit Lord Steven Regal defends vs. The Patriot Comments: Steve Keirn vs. Brian Pillman Comments: Non-Title Match Steve Austin vs. The Guardian Angel Comments: Diamond Dallas Page vs. Scott Stud Comments: The Nasty Boys vs. The Sullivans Comments: Barry Windham vs. Sting Comments: Fabulous Fan Signs(Limit 2 Per Person): Comments On Diary:
