Latest News from around the World

60,000 people were at the Tokyo Dome to watch the greatest collection of Wrestling Stars to ever appear on the same stage. Every promotion put their best match forward, trying to outdo the other promotions. The show was put together by Weekly Pro Wrestling magazine which gives all the promotions so much vital media coverage that they were afraid to not take part in the show for fear of offending the magazine. But other media outlets didn't even cover the show because they see the Weekly Pro Wrestling magazine as competition. NJPW had Shinya Hashimoto defeating Masa Chono in the main event. While AJPW had Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, & Stan Hansen in a 30-minute time limit draw with Akira Taue, Dan Spivey & John Tenta. As for the FMW, Great Nita pinned King Pogo in an "Explosive Barbed Wire" match.

Lawrence Taylor recently lost his job as a sports analyst on TNT and in an ESPN interview this week, he claims he was fired because he's working Wrestlemania and TNT is owned by Ted Turner.

The Wrestlemania buyrate has come in and has fallen well short of even the lowest expectations. The show drew a legit 15,000 sellout due to the excellent hype around Lawrence Taylor. The buyrate is somewhere around 0.90 which considering all the mainstream publicity going into it, means Wrestlemania was a complete flop. They had been publicly hoping for at least a 2.0 and didn't even come close. The Taylor hype helped the entire industry immensely, giving pro wrestling significant mainstream coverage that for once wasn't focused on a scandal, but those ratings didn't translate into buys. Some are blaming the higher PPV price that might be a sign that they've flooded the market with too many PPVs.

Davey Boy Smith and his wife Diana have responded to the criminal and civil cases brought against them by a man who claims Smith attacked him in a bar for dancing with his wife. Davey Boy claims the whole thing was made up and that there was no fight and Diana says she would never dance with drunken strangers at a bar.

Dusty Rhodes will be inducted into the WCW Hall of Fame at Slamboree in May. There is also talk of inducting Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, but with all the bad blood after leaving WCW for a multi-million dollar WWF contract, that is questionable.

WCW Uncensored did an estimated 0.96 buyrate and with the increase in price, this makes it the most financially successful PPV in WCW's history. A lot of fans despise Hulk Hogan and his pals. They say he's killing the company, but numbers don't lie and the fact is, he's bringing in more money to WCW than they've ever had before. It seems like"The new Number One in Professional Wrestling..." slogan is correct.

WWF allowed photographers to be at ringside for Wrestlemania, but then they ended up getting in Shawn Michaels' way during his match with Razor Ramon, so the policy of allowing photographers at ringside is already over.

WWF aired a tribute video to Big John Studd on TV this week after his death.

Jim Cornette is taping a segment for the Jerry Springer Show this week.

Ricky Steamboat's 7-year-old son Richie won the North Carolina state amateur wrestling championship for his age group and will participate in a national tournament later this month.

Morning Express (Akitoshi Saito & Kuniaki Kobayashi) began their first reign as IWGP World Tag Team champions, when they took the titles away from Tarzan Goto & Yoshiaki Yatsu.

Apparently there's a lot of bitterness in the WWF locker room over how much Lawrence Taylor was paid and all the other NFL players who showed up to stand in LT's corner (Reggie White and Steve McMichael) and got paid big bucks, despite not doing anything, but standing there.

Tabloid The Star runs a story regarding a confrontation that allegedly occurred between “Mötley Crüe” drummer Tommy Lee and Shawn Michaels backstage at WrestleMania. According to the report, Michaels shot Lee a dirty look, prompting Lee to challenge, “Hey, pal, do you have a problem with me?” Michaels’ response: “No, but you know your girl (Pamela Anderson Lee) was mine before she was yours?!” According to the account, the two men then had to be separated. Anderson Lee’s take on the matter: “Tommy does this all the time. It’s so sweet!”

WWF will be running its final show at Boston Garden next month and are trying to make it a huge event by bringing in legends like Fred Blassie, Jay Strongbow, Gorilla Monsoon, Killer Kowalski, Pedro Morales, and more.

It looks like Brian Blair will not be wrestling for a while, as the grappler picked up a Ruptured Spleen during a match last night, and early reports are that it will sideline him from active competition.

D-Von Dudley won the ECW World Heavyweight title last night, when he took the title away from Sabu at ECW Hardcore TV. Sabu managed fourteen successful title defences prior to this defeat.

According to behind-the-scene sources, ECWA owner Jim Kettner and Paul Heyman of ECW are said to have had some angry exchanges over the past week, and for all intensive purposes the two companies are now firmly locked in a state of war. What went wrong is open to speculation, but it will be interesting to see which promotion will make the first attack on their new enemy.

The vacant XWF Cruiserweight title was claimed last night at an XWF House Show, as Chris Kanyon became the new champion.

Brazo de Oro begain his first reign as CMLL World Middleweight champion last night, when he took the title away from Pierroth Jr. at CMLL Super Viernes.

Dean Malenko is considered by many to be one of the finest technical wrestlers ever, but it wasn't enough to end the streak.

So don't you forget that, Colonel Punk!" Traylor says he has no problem doing it to the Colonel Parker's other hired guns as well. He says getting in the ring with him and Vladimir Koloff is like going up against a freight train.

Latest News from around the World

<div style="text-align:center;">Latest News from around the World</div>

UFC 5 took place this week and 2 professional wrestlers stole the show. NWA Smokey Mountain Wrestling and UWFi star Dan "The Beast" Severn came out with the NWA World Heavyweight title belt held high and obliterated everyone in his path to win the tournament. And in the main event, Pancrase star Ken Shamrock hung with BJJ legend Royce Gracie for 36 minutes, before the fight was finally called a draw and did severe damage to the unbeatable Gracie myth, with many thinking that if the fight had gone just a few minutes longer, Shamrock would have won because Gracie was completely spent. UFC 6 is expected to feature Dan Severn vs. Ken Shamrock.

The big 13-promotion Japan show that took place last week continues to be ignored by all the other magazines and newspapers in Japan, because it was put together by a different magazine that they all see as competition.

The Road Warriors were planned to debut in WCW at June's Great American Bash PPV, but that looks to be falling through.

ECW tag team The Eliminators (Perry Saturn and John Kronus) received a tryout at the recent WCW tapings and reportedly looked great.

The Star tabloid is reporting a story claiming that Pamela Anderson had a fling with Shawn Michaels during all the Wrestlemania hype and now her husband (rock star Tommy Lee) is very upset at Michaels.

Bit of a unique situation in Memphis as Jerry Jarrett has begun a working agreement with WCW, which will see them sending their jobbers and trainees down to USWA to work and improve. Of course, WWF still has their own working agreement with Jerry Lawler, so now both WWF and WCW have separate agreements with USWA. Vince McMahon reportedly told Lawler that he's not happy about Jarrett's WCW arrangement but for now, he will continue to keep the WWF agreement going.

The reason the Jim Cornette appearance on Jerry Springer fell apart, is because the WWF got wind of it, and nixed the idea because SMW is relatively unknown and most people who see Jim Cornette on TV are going to think of him as the WWF manager and they didn't want someone associated with WWF going on TV.

WWF superstar Alundra Blayze recently got a nose job for cosmetic reasons.

New tag team champion in WWF! Death And Taxes (The Undertaker and I.R.S.) defeated The New Blackjacks during the latest episode of Monday Night Raw to win the WWF World Tag Team Championship titles.

In a short statement released last night, 65 year old announcer Bob Caudle announced his decision to leave SMW and the business. He cited his age, and commented that now was a good time to retire so that he could enjoy some peace and quiet away from the public glare of the pro wrestling industry.

New champion in ECW! ECW saw a title change last night at the latest episode of ECW Hardcore TV, as D-Von Dudley lost the ECW World Heavyweight title to Chris Candido in an Triple Threat Match. This victory marks his first reign with the title.

WWF have parted company with Mr. Fuji and Hugo Savinovich.

AJPW Platinum Series 1 Report! All Japan held Platinum Series 1 last night in Nagoya Dome, and drew 33,239 fans. The feedback has been awesome, the show is getting fantastic reviews. Performance of the night belonged to Mitsuharu Misawa after defeating Kenta Kobashi in an incredible quarter final, before losing to Stan "The Lariat" Hansen in the semi finals. With three successive wins it was former WWF and WCW superstar "Big" John Tenta who claimed the victory after defeating Stan Hansen in the final. Tenta secured his spot in the final by defeating Tamon Honda in the quarter finals and Yoshinari Ogawa in the semi finals.

In breaking news, our reporters have confirmed that Pancrase star Minoru Suzuki has just won his MMA fight and soon will return to the world of pro wrestling.

Lucifer Payne (known as Maxx Payne in WCW) lost the ECW World Television title to Jason Knight, in an Triple Threat Match on the latest episode of ECW Hardcore TV.

New champions in NWA Smokey Mountain Wrestling! NWA SMW saw a title change last night at the latest episode of NWA SMW TV, as Eddie Riley lost the NWA World Heavyweight title to Dan "The Beast" Severn; while Dick Murdoch and Matt Borne lost the NWA World Tag Team titles to The Rock 'n' Roll Express.

Pancrase Hybrid Wrestling held Pancrase 18 in Chiba Bridge Arena, and drew 3,495 fans. The feedback has been that the show was awesome. Ken Shamrock was said to be the star of the show despite losing to Victor Mar. In the main event shoot wrestling legend Masakatsu Funaki defeated Shoji Nakamaki to retain the King of Pancrase title.

Rules Of The Save

Below are the current active rules of the save/owner goals.

All-Star Team: Keep the WCW tag team division relevant. The tag team division has to be deep, diverse and fueled by quality storylines. Make the WCW Tag Team Division the best of all time

Amateur-Turned-Pro Wrestler: In the early-mid 1990s, WCW signed Swedish amateur wrestler and Olympic bronze medalist Frank Andersson to a contract trying to expand into Scandinavia. Andersson is very good in the ring and gets great reactions. As one of Bischoff's "favorite signings" give Frank Andersson the Kurt Angle push.

Can't Carry The Weak: Anyone who gets injured for more than 12 months, must have their contract terminated.

Danger! High Voltage: Wrestling rule No. 6: You have to believe someone can win a match to put them over. Give Kenny Kaos and Robbie Rage a "Chance to Run with the Ball".

Dreams Do Come True: With Ted Turner's checkbook to spend on big money names, WCW will keep producing the dream matches fans could have never expected to become reality. WCW is the only place you will get a taste of national and international dream matches.

Excelling At Wrestling: Strive to put out stories showcasing the midcard workrate guys you will not see in the main event. Every week on WCW TV shows, you are guaranteed to get a great match or more.

Homegrown Stars: Alex Wright and The Giant must be pushed into main event status.

I You Are Loyal So Am I: Hogan's cronies must be pushed as at least upper midcarders.

International Talent: Scout the international market and bring in new wrestling styles to the promotion. Hire great talent from Mexico, Japan, Canada, Europe and from other places. Introduce international talent to a American audiences through WCW Worldwide. Aside from improving the show and adding a new dynamic, this would also bring in viewers from other countries looking to see stars they’re familiar with make it in the big time.

Let The Vanilla Midgets Draw A Dime: Put them on a big stage and let them do their "15 Minute of Fame" thing with little interference to their style, something WWF has never done nor are they likely to ever do.

Mega-Stars: Continue by adding star quality from the rivals to make the WWF's star power near non-existent.

Provide Variety: Old school fans are given Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Randy Savage. The diehard fans are granted technical wrestling masters like Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko and Steven Regal. International fans are given The Great Muta, Alex Wright and the Cruiserweight Division. Fans that like brawling are gifted memorable The Nasty Boys vs. Kevin Sullivan & One Man Gang bouts. Have something for every kind of wrestling fan.

Put The Focus Back On Wrestling: Move away from the sillier costumes and gimmicks that WWF promotes, putting what matters most in wrestling front and center.

Reach The Hispanic Market: The US Hispanic market continues to grow, and is a prime audience for WCW to be able to reach. Konnan must auto-push into the Main Event.

The Gambler: Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin' is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep. The Gambler is always guaranteed at least a midcard push.

The Horsemen Of The Apocalypse: Being a member of The Four Horsemen mean you are one of the elite technicians in the wrestling business. It is a tight knit group and being a Horsemen is an achievement and an honor that isn’t just handed out, it is earned. The Four Horsemen must be active and stay relevant.

The Franchise of WCW: Sting must be pushed as the company figurehead.

The Reign Of Terror: Vader towers over his opponents. Vader dominates the competition. But most importantly, Vader is the man and must be kept strong. Vader cannot lose by Pinfall.

Three Strikes You're Out: Get involved in three negative incidents and you're out of here.

Steal From ECW: WCW need fresh talent to establish its brand. These wrestlers have wrestled all over the world and are fusing Japanese, Mexican and American styles together. They are new and exciting. They have a firm grasp of psychology and have worked with veterans like Terry Funk. They don't wrestle like WWF castaways. They bring a unique style to WCW that set them apart from WWF.

Welcome To The Freak Show: Steroid use is alright in the home of the genetic freaks.

The Biggest. The Baddest. No Bull.

oduced to Spring Stampede by Tony Schiavone. Our main event match will be a No Holds Barred match with Sting vs. Vader. Sting is looking for revenge on his arch rival Vader that has been attacking him on several occasions, as well as injured Sting's best friend Hulk Hogan. Tonight could be the End of Sting, as “Rocky Mountain Horror” Vader is trying to injure Sting and end his career.

Your hosts are Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan and Eric Bischoff.

Tony Schiavone, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Eric Bischoff and “Mean” Gene Okerlund make predictions regarding the main event.

Let’s get to it!

For the Cruiserweight match we had Mikey Tenay and Chris Cruise replacing Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan at the broadcast booth.

Cruiserweight Match for the WCW Cruiserweight Title

In a energetic Cruiserweight bout that had high-flying and fast-paced moves, 19-year old prodigy "Das Wunderkind" Alex Wright defeated 20-year old "once in a lifetime" talent Rey Mysterio Jr. in 13:49 by pinfall with a quick Roll Up, despite his opponent controlling most of the action. Alex Wright makes defence number 2 of his WCW Cruiserweight Championship title.

Bunkhouse Buck makes his entrance showing everyone the trusty good ol' cowbell...

It's the charismatic, rapping Mexican Idol...

Bunkhouse Brawl

http://i.imgur.com/45vggNh.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/fCzbgxh.jpg

Konnan vs. Bunkhouse Buck

"Yo yo yo let me speak on dis! Orale! Arriba la Raza! We are los vatos locos forever, man! We bout it bout it and rowdy rowdy!"

It's a clash of cultures as sleazy 'n' dirty brawler Bunkhouse Buck collides with the "the Mexican Hulk Hogan" Konnan.

Bunkhouse Buck, chews smilingly on some tobacco before coolly spitting out the juices on Konnan's shirt. Konnan and Bunkhouse Buck get into a wild fist fight and the crowd gets jacked for it.

Konnan gets a Eye Rake followed by a stiff haymaker.

In true hockey fashion, Buck pulls the shirt over Konnan’s head and then whips him with the rope, before bringing him out and introducing him to the post. Buck chokes him out with the rope attached to his Cowbell. Konnan fights back one-handed, and then frees himself and cowbells Buck right over the head.

Back in, Buck goes up, but Konnan hammers him down. That gets two. Konnan continue to beat up Bunkhouse Buck and the ref is bumped.

Konnan is riling up the crowd and showing them how to be “’bout it, ‘bout it and rowdy rowdy”. It's time for Montezuma's Revenge, when Buck clobbers Konnan with his cowboy boot for the pin.

Bunkhouse Buck defeated Konnan in a Bunkhouse Brawl match in 10:11 by pinfall while using his cowboy boot.

Post Match Brawl

http://i.imgur.com/45vggNh.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/fCzbgxh.jpg

Konnan is furious.

"That dirty, stinking, stupid “gringo”, coming here with his stupid cowboy hat, with his stupid longcoat, and that stupid Cowbell. Stinking of of beer and sweat! How dare you hit "The Mexican Icon" with that filthy stinking cowboy boot of yours!"

Konnan And Bunkhouse Buck end up in a wild brawl, with the chaos spilling out all around ringside. They are destroying each other using steel chairs, tables, the cowbell and Buck's cowboy boot.

Eventually a number of officials and other wrestlers have to hit the ring and pull them apart before they kill each other.

Rating: 65 C

"Put your hands together, I’ll show you the way, come and get some booty where the big boys play.”

"Booty time, booty time across the U.S.A. It's booty time, booty time...'"

It's The Booty Man, and the subject of his infatuation is, for some reason, his own ass, which he shakes around during his entrance.”

His opponent...

They call him Mr. Wonderful...

You know he is so Wonderful...

And he knows it too...

The Booty Man vs. Paul Orndorff w/ Toni

"Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff works on The Booty Man in a brutal, sadistic, brawling "old school" villain style.

"Mr. Wonderful" is very heelish in his way, and played-up his superior physique bullying "The Original Assman" around.

It's a one-sided squash match.

Orndorff received several chants of "Paula" from the crowd.

In a match that had decent wrestling, good heat, The Booty Man defeated Paul Orndorff in 9:43 by pinfall with a Surprise Cradle out-of-nowhere. The Booty Man quickly escapes from the ring and Orndorff's wrath.

Orndorff can't believe his eyes, losing to this joke of a wrestler.

In the crowd we see t-shirts and banners mocking him and "Mr. Wonderful" is throwing his robe down in anger.

In Locker Room Red, Mike Tenay had an interview with Vader and his manager Harley Race hyping the upcoming match with Sting.

The rest of The Stud Stable (Bam Bam Bigelow, Steve Williams, Terry Gordy and Kurosawa) is standing in the background. Vader calls himself a m*therf*cker and it gets censored. He says that Commissioner Bockwinkel and Hulk Hogan doesn't run this company, The Stud Stable does, and now Hogan buddy Sting's going to have to pay just like Hogan did at SuperBawl.

"'Who's the Man?' "I fear no man and I feel no pain!"

"It’s time!"

The powerhouse duo Fire and Ice (Ice Train and Scott Norton) is an "Unstoppable Force" in WCW. They are stronger and they hit harder than every other tag team in WCW. Scott "Flash" Norton is one of the hugest and strongest men in the history of pro wrestling, a true super heavyweight strongman legend built as a battle tank and his partner Ice Train is a athletic powerhouse.

Harlem Heat just dominates Ice Train with a series of power moves. The champions are in trouble. Booker T and Stevie Ray are showing how talented they are with several fluid double-team moves.

Eventually, Scott "Flash" Norton fought back in kind, leveling Stevie Ray with one of the most devastating Lariats in wrestling history. Norton looks like a main battle tank wreaking havoc. Fire and Ice won the match with a Flashback followed by a Train Wreck.

In a open bout that had good wrestling and a good reaction from the crowd, Fire and Ice defeated Harlem Heat in 15:35. Fire and Ice make defence number 10 of their WCW World Tag Team Championship titles.

Best Friends Now Bitter Rivals Brawl For It All!

http://i.imgur.com/Wp5mD5Z.jpg

It's time for the big brawl we all have been waiting for.

It’s a 10-man battle royal to start. As Bobby "The Brain" Heenan says, “Not a lot to call here, you just watch ‘em fight.”

Winner gets an title shot at Slamboree.

It's a entertaining and hard-hitting brawlfest in the mold of War Games, but involving weapons and the crowd gets jacked for it!

The Nasties bring steel chairs that they slams around, while Kevin Sullivan and his bash brother One Man Gang brings chains. Steven Regal brings his cricket paddle, while "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan brings his trusty two-by-four.

It's a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners brawl.

The Nasties and Kevin Sullivan/One Man Gang hit each other as hard as possible to ensure that their hated rivals left the battle feeling like they'd been hit by trucks.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan is an excellent, bleeding, asskicking babyface brawler from Hell, wreaking havoc with his two-by-four. We see the classic rough and tumble brawler and power wrestler Duggan from Mid-South.

The first elimination is Jim Duggan by Bam Bam Bigelow via out the door.

"Lord" Steven Regal is a stereotypical British gentleman with a mean streak, and that often come across like an Upper-Class Twit.

The aggressive blue blood looked the proper gentleman in his spotless cravat and houndstooth blazers, but he wrestled with all the refinement of a Manchester soccer hooligan. Mixing equal parts Snake Pit submissions and carnie survival tricks.

The next elimination is Steven Regal by "Macho Man" Randy Savage via over the cage.

The Nasties are swinging their Steel Chairs. They brains One Man Gang! They brains Kevin Sullivan numerous times!

The use the Steel Chairs to give Sullivan a Crimson Mask. Sullivan's face being covered in his own blood.

"The Most Evil Man in Professional Wrestling of All Time" Kevin Sullivan is tearing it up in the ring. He is punishing his opponents with a brutal, sadistic, "old school" brawling style.

The Boston bad boy, stomped heroes like Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags with the Sam Adams-soaked rage of a Beantown bar fighter.

We see his evil smile through the crimson mask while dishing out his stiff and sadistic offense.

Next elimination is Kevin Sullivan by The Warrior via a boot to the head from behind, through the door while occupied brawling with The Nasties.

It's a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners brawl with blood being visible during the match. There is blood all over the ring and the steel cage...

Bam Bam Bigelow is looking strong and dominates inside the cage. "The Beast from the East" is hurling his mammoth 400 pounds frame around the ring in the manner of an acrobat without compromising his formidable power game.

"Sloppy as hell and more than a little dangerous". The Nasty Boys wrestles in a ‘garbage’ brawl-style that features a lot of hard-hitting strikes that makes their matches more like streetfights than pro wrestling matches. The are focusing on One Man Gang, a big brawling man, who is very tough.

All three brawlers have crimson masks.

Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags try for several minutes to get One Man Gang to fall out of the cage door and wind up taking themselves out as well with the help of Bam Bam Bigelow and his devastating offense.

The Nasty Boys and One Man Gang were eliminated via out the door by Bam Bam Bigelow as The Nasties attempted to eliminate One Man Gang.

Final Four

The four participants left Bam Bam Bigelow, Curt Hennig, Randy Savage and The Warrior.

The immense technical wrestling talent Curt Hennig is dominating Randy Savage.

"Macho Man" is really in trouble as Hennig tries to eliminate him.

The next elimination is Curt Hennig by The Warrior via a boot to the head from behind, through the door while occupied trying to eliminate Randy Savage.

Savage miraculous manages to hang on and remains inside the cage.

The 400 pounds monster heel Bam Bam Bigelow is looking unstoppable with his devastating offense.

That leaves Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Randy Savage vs. The Warrior. They go back and forth for a few minutes until the two faces gang up against Bam Bam.

Next elimination is Bam Bam Bigelow by The Warrior via out the door.

So we have the intense and fearless "Randy Savage versus a snarling, facepainted maniac with neon tassels on his biceps.

*The Warrior is shaking his head rapidly*

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwww you can feel it, dudes!"

The Warrior enter a berserker rage and proceed to beat the ever-loving crap out of Savage.

Savage looks demoralized and try to climb the cage, but The Warrior is slamming him down into the canvas.

This could be it!

A punch, two Clotheslines, a Gorilla Press Slam..

The Warrior looks to finish his opponent with the Running Splash.

The Warrior is charging towards Randy Savage.

But...

Randy Savage throws himself out of the way causing The Warrior to crash into the cage door with full force and out of the cage.

It's unbelievable!

Against all odds the fiery and short-tempered babyface brawler with the never-say-never-attitude wins the Steel Cage Bunkhouse Stampede by last eliminating The Warrior.

The final elimination is The Warrior by Randy Savage via the cage door.

In a bout that had great wrestling and good heat, "Macho Man" Randy Savage won a Steel Cage Bunkhouse Stampede in 35:07. The other members of the 'final four' were The Warrior, Curt Hennig and Bam Bam Bigelow, with The Warrior being the final elimination.
