Dangerously and Tony Schiavone welcome everyone to TBS where they can see the Clash of the Champions live without paying any extra money. JR talks about having the best main event tonight when we will see Ric Flair defend the NWA World Heavyweight title against Terry Taylor. JR asks for predictions and Dangerously immediately says that Ric Flair will put Terrific Terry in his place. Schiavone makes a prediction that we will see a brand new Champion tonight. Dangerously replies that either way they are going to see a man victorious because he is going to defeat Missy Hyatt in their arm wrestling match and put her back in the kitchen where she belongs. JR warns Dangerously not to get too overconfident but Dangerously says that the day a woman beats him in anything is the day that he truly ceases to be a man. JR adds in that they are going to go to a video now bringing up the history between Larry Zbyszko and Sting.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="LUpDm9F.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/LUpDm9F.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="1cY6wna.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/1cY6wna.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [As JR said, we go to a video featuring Larry Zbyszko and Sting. It begins with the argument the two men had on WCW Saturday Night where Zbyszko told Sting that he would only face him if Sting put his rematch on the line. Sting accepted the challenge and this only made Zbyszko smile big. Then the video shifts to last night where Sting trapped Bill Irwin in the Scorpion Deathlock and got a submission victory. After the match, Sting did not get a chance to celebrate his victory. Instead, he was immediately attacked by his Clash opponent. Zbyszko landed two straight piledrivers on Sting before officials were able to get in the ring and break things up. A neckbrace was put on Sting and he was stretchered from the building with people wondering whether he would be able to even show up for this match tonight. It is the opening bout here at the Clash so will he show up or will he have to forfeit his rematch with Ric Flair?]</div></blockquote> Match #1 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="LUpDm9F.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/LUpDm9F.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="OamO7hX.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/OamO7hX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1cY6wna.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/1cY6wna.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> Winner Receives Sting's Rematch Clause 20 Minute Time Limit Larry Zbyszko vs. Sting [Following Larry Zbyszko's entrance, Sting's music played but no one came out to the ring. Larry Zbyszko got on the microphone and crowed about putting Sting out of action tonight. He says that Sting will probably never wrestle again. Then, he tells the referee to begin counting. Referee Randy Anderson has no choice but to begin counting Sting out of the ring. Sting's music hits again and out comes Sting, trying to make his way to the ring despite wearing a neckbrace. Zbyszko tells the referee to count faster but is only interrupting the count. As Sting gets halfway up the ramp, Zbyszko comes rushing in and exchanges punches with Sting! Sting blocks a punch and then raises Zbyszko with a military press slam, slamming him down on the ramp. Sting continues his way to the ring, stepping inside and moving back against the ropes. Zbyszko slowly follows Sting into the ring and the two begin exchanging blows with Zbyszko hitting a clothesline on the neckbrace. Zbyszko tears off the neckbrace and begins focusing his attack on the neck of Sting. Zbyszko places his foot on the throat of Sting like he did last night but he only gets a count of four before he has to release as Randy Anderson threatens a disqualification. Zbyszko continues his focus on the neck, going for the Piledriver but Sting blocks it! Sting raises Zbyszko over with a back body drop and both men are left on the mat in pain.] [The referee begins making the ten count as both men are down. Around six, Zbyszko begins pulling his way to his feet. Both men make it up by the count of nine and Zbyszko falls backward into the turnbuckle. Sting grabs his neck but charges toward Zbyszko and goes for the Stinger Splash but Zbyszko moves and Sting catches the corner instead. Sting staggers away from the corner and Zbyszko grabs him, landing a Shoulderbreaker. Zbyszko makes a cover but Sting kicks out at two. Zbyszko looks frustrated at the referee but then maintains his attack on Sting. Zbyszko lifts Sting in a delayed vertical suplex position but Sting manages to land on his feet behind Zbyszko! Sting turns Zbyszko around and hits a tombstone piledriver on the Living Legend! The crowd begins cheering and stomping their feet and clapping their hands. The crowd wills Sting forward and Sting Irish whips Zbyszko into the corner. Sting charges for the second time and he hits the Stinger Splash on Zbyszko! Zbyszko falls to the mat and Sting grabs the legs -- Scorpion Deathlock! Zbyszko shakes his head, refusing to submit. The referee asks Zbyszko again and Zbyszko has no choice but to nod his head. Larry Zbyszko has submitted to the Scorpion Deathlock!] Winner: Sting (Via Submission @ 15:36) Match Rating: B-</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="1cY6wna.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/1cY6wna.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [Sting has picked up the victory! He releases the Scorpion Deathlock and falls forward as Larry Zbyszko exits the ring and walks to the back in defeat. Inside the ring, Sting gets his arm raised and pulls himself up to his feet. Sting celebrates with the crowd before the lights begin to flicker in the arena. Sting looks around, confused for a moment. Then a voice rings out through the P.A. system. The voice asks Sting if he really thinks he defeated The Black Scorpion. The voice laughs and says that he only defeated The Black Scorpion's emissary. He says that The Four Horsemen were only precursors to the true Black Scorpion, much like the biblical Four Horsemen. Sting looks upset in the ring as the voice continues, telling Sting that his destruction is inevitable. The only question is how long he will survive. The lights flicker again and then there is only silence as Sting looks questioningly around the ringside area. Sting shakes his head and exits the ring to head to the back as JR sends us to our next video.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="A2GiPqI.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/A2GiPqI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5z9RGik.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/5z9RGik.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="W8aeOjk.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/W8aeOjk.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="TOQWvjv.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/TOQWvjv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [The 33,000 in attendance watch a video that features the tag teams in our next bout: The Steiner Brothers and Arn Anderson and Barry Windham. The Steiner Brothers won the United States Tag Team titles on August 24 1990 when they defeated The Midnight Express. This feud began at the beginning of the month when The Steiner Brothers saved Terry Taylor from a Four Horsemen beating. It continued with Terry Taylor and The Steiner Brothers defeating The Horsemen in six man tag team action that saw Scott Steiner hit Barry Windham with his Frankensteiner. These two teams are two of the top teams in professional wrestling. Last month at Starrcade 1990 The Horsemen nearly defeated Doom for the World Tag Team titles. This month, they challenge The Steiner Brothers for the United States Tag Team titles. Which team will come out victorious?

The match begins with some good back and forth action between the two teams before things settle down with The Horsemen taking control over Rick Steiner in their corner. They use the general heel tactics of enticing Scott into the ring so that they can double team his brother behind the referee's back. Anderson catches Rick with a knee lift and then a swinging neckbreaker to send the Dogfaced Gremlin to the mat. Anderson tags in his partner and Barry Windham locks the Clawhold on Rick Steiner! The crowd works to try and get Rick back into the match but it looks like he might fade out to the Claw, taught to Windham by his father! Rick manages to fight back and take down Barry Windham with a Steinerline before crawling toward his corner. As the match reaches the halfway point of the time limit, Rick tags in Scott Steiner and Windham tags in Arn Anderson. Scott takes down Anderson with a Steinerline and then an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Barry Windham enters the ring and he takes an overhead belly-to-belly suplex for his trouble! In comes Rick Steiner and he begins brawling with Barry Windham! Scott twirls his index finger around, calling for the Frankensteiner. He Irish whips Anderson to the ropes -- reversed! Anderson catches Scott with the Anderson Spinebuster! Anderson says it's over and makes the cover but only gets a two count when the pin is broken up by Rick Steiner! Both teams continue fighting in the ring as the referee tries to get the four men separated. Scott Steiner and Arn Anderson shove the referee out of the way and he has no choice but to stop the match.] Winners: Draw (Via Referee Stoppage @ 17:29) Match Rating: B</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="A2GiPqI.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/A2GiPqI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5z9RGik.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/5z9RGik.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="Ugwzw4P.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Ugwzw4P.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="jaLqOnn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/jaLqOnn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2PY8PcN.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/2PY8PcN.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [The Steiner Brothers retain the United States Tag Team titles due to the draw. They manage to get the advantage, sending The Horsemen out of the ring. With this distraction, they don't see two mystery men rushing the ring. These two men assault The Steiner Brothers from behind! The two men are joined in the ring by legendary wrestler and commentator Jesse Ventura. The two attackers send Scott Steiner out of the ring and hit Rick Steiner with the move known as the Doomsday Device to most but known as The Wrecking Ball when these two men do it. Jesse Ventura gets on the microphone and says that he has come here to the NWA to bring two men from Minnesota to destroy the tag team division here. He introduces them as The Destruction Crew, Wayne Bloom and Mike Enos. He says that they are from Minnesota, where all the best wrestlers come from. Ventura says that this is a sad day for all the tag teams in WCW because they are all going to fall to The Body's best tag team. This includes these brothers from Michigan. He says that Minnesota is better than Michigan and they proved it here tonight. The Body says that this is all he has to say tonight and drops the microphone before the three men exit the ring and head to the back.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="S6JBnuJ.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/S6JBnuJ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="y1JBQvR.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y1JBQvR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [We go to the staging area where Tony Schiavone has left the broadcast booth. Schiavone says that he hopes everyone has enjoyed the Clash of the Champions so far. He says that they still have many matches to go, including one with his guest at this time, the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair. '2001' begins to play and out comes Ric Flair to join Schiavone. He looks at Schiavone and says that somebody told him there's a party going on tonight following Dixie Dynamite. He says to take a good look at him. He's a man that's custom made from head to toe. He has taken on and beaten the best that professional wrestling has to offer and now he's facing off with Terry Taylor? Really? This is the best that WCW has to offer right now? Flair tells Taylor that he's going to walk that aisle tonight against the best in the world. Tonight, after Flair beats Taylor, he says that he might give Taylor's wife a ride on Space Mountain. Remember, it might be the oldest ride in the park but it still has the longest line. Whoo! Flair says that tonight he is not going to lose the NWA World Heavyweight title. When you walk that aisle against the Nature Boy, you learn that to be the man you've got to beat the man. This gold belt proves that Ric Flair is the man and tonight Terry Taylor is going to learn that firsthand. Flair walks to the back as Schiavone sends us back up to the ring for our next bout.]</div></blockquote> Match #3 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="rkwcotI.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/rkwcotI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="OamO7hX.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/OamO7hX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="ImTV4aJ.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/ImTV4aJ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> Badstreet USA Match 20 Minute Time Limit Michael Hayes vs. Ricky Steamboat [it's time to take a walk down Badstreet USA for our next bout as Michael Hayes steps in the ring against Ricky Steamboat in this Badstreet USA street fight match. The match begins inside the ring where Steamboat has an obvious advantage in technical wrestling. Steamboat hits an early headscissors takedown on Hayes and makes a quick cover but only gets a one count. Steamboat tries multiple pin combinations, include the small package and the sunset flip but Hayes doesn't remain down for very long. Steamboat goes for a dropkick but Hayes avoids it and Steamboat lands hard on his back and the back of his head. Hayes picks up Steamboat and throws him over the top rope to the floor at ringside! Paul E. Dangerously reminds everyone that there's no DQ so anything is legal in this match. Hayes joins Steamboat at ringside and puts in a few stomps to the head of the Dragon before grabbing a metal folding chair. He brings the chair down on the back of Steamboat! Steamboat cries out in pain and Hayes hits him again with the chair! Hayes picks up Steamboat and sends him with an Irish whip to the guardrail. Hayes charges but Steamboat lowers his head and back body drops Hayes into the front row. Steamboat is hurt but manages to pull Hayes back to ringside. Steamboat tosses Hayes back in the ring and The Dragon heads to the top turnbuckle as Hayes slowly makes his way to his feet. Hayes staggers a moment and Steamboat leaps with the Cross Body but Hayes uses the momentum to flip himself on top, hooking the leg of the Dragon:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Kickout!] [Ricky Steamboat barely manages to kick out before the three count. Michael Hayes pulls up Steamboat and sends him into the corner. The former Freebird hits Steamboat with a corner clothesline before dropping him with a vertical suplex. Hayes calls for the DDT but, before he can grab Steamboat, music begins to play and out from the back comes Kevin Von Erich! Von Erich rushes the ring and begins brawling with Michael Hayes! Von Erich, obviously, has the advantage because he hasn't been wrestling as long as Hayes has been. We've gone over halfway through the twenty minute time limit as Von Erich locks the Iron Claw on Hayes! After about thirty seconds, Von Erich releases and helps Ricky Steamboat to his feet. He points to the top turnbuckle and Steamboat looks torn about what to do before he begins ascending the turnbuckle. Von Erich pulls up Hayes and Steamboat leaps with the Diving Cross Body! This time, Hayes doesn't reverse it and Steamboat hooks the leg as the referee begins making the count:] [....1.... ....2.... ....3!] Winner: Ricky Steamboat (Via Pinfall @ 14:13) Match Rating: B-</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="7bAaXoi.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/7bAaXoi.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="XdvvVKw.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/XdvvVKw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [Paul E. Dangerously calls foul on the win by Ricky Steamboat but, then, he leaves the announce booth as the ring gets set up for the arm wrestling match. Dangerously enters the ring and begins gloating about the fact that he is going to defeat Missy Hyatt tonight and put her back in the kitchen where her and all women belong. Dangerously leans against the ropes as Missy Hyatt makes her way down to the ring. She high fives the fans along the way before entering the ring. She takes up a microphone and says that tonight is about women everywhere. She says that she is going to prove that they are better than chauvinistic pigs like Paul E. Dangerously. Hyatt drops the microphone and walks over to the stand where the two will battle arm wrestling style. Dangerously pulls back a couple of times to mock Hyatt. After the second time, Hyatt removes her jacket to reveal a tight, low-cut spandex outfit! Dangerously's jaw drops as he cannot help but stare at the beautiful Missy Hyatt. Hyatt walks to the arm wrestling table and Dangerously stands there staring at Hyatt. Hyatt grabs Dangerously's hand and brings it to the table. The official starts the match and Hyatt immediately wins! The official raises Missy Hyatt's arm in victory and Dangerously realizes just what happened! Dangerously looks incensed at the loss to Missy! Hyatt celebrates in the ring as Dangerously tries calling foul on this arm wrestling encounter. But Hyatt is the victor. As the celebration goes on, we are taken to a video.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="eF4dGgn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/eF4dGgn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="o2tGbRH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/o2tGbRH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [This video begins hyping the upcoming match between Lex Luger and Harley Race.

The video moves forward, showing Race interrupting Luger's speech at the beginning of this month, challenging him to this match that will take place tonight. Race is shown creating an alliance with Chuck O'Connor. Then we cut to Lex Luger creating an alliance with Brian Pillman.

Two veterans stepping in the ring in this one on one bout with Chuck O'Connor and Brian Pillman standing at ringside. Race gets the early advantage on Luger, having a bit more experience than the Total Package. Race brings Luger over with an early gutwrench suplex and makes a quick cover only to have Luger kick out at two. Race gets up and strikes Luger with a quick running knee drop before tossing Luger through the ropes at the feet of Chuck O'Connor. Brian Pillman comes running around the ring and the referee drops down to separate him and O'Connor. He escorts Pillman back to his corner, leaving Luger open for O'Connor to run him into the ring post before tossing Luger back inside the ring. A smiling Harley Race continues his advantage, focusing in on the neck and back of Luger. He locks Luger in the Indian Deathlock, trying to pull a submission out of Luger but Luger refuses to give in. Luger eventually makes it to the ropes to break the hold. Race releases the hold and lifts Luger, dropping him with a scoop slam before heading to the top turnbuckle. Race leaps with the Diving Headbutt but Luger rolls out of the way and Race crashes into the mat. The crowd gets solidly behind The Total Package, helping him make his way to his feet. Luger pulls up a visibly tired Race, who seems to have punched himself out. Luger sends Race to the ropes and catches him with a scoop powerslam. Luger calls for the Human Torture Rack but Chuck O'Connor climbs onto the apron! Brian Pillman rushes around and grabs the legs of O'Connor, yanking him down. O'Connor brings down Pillman with a clothesline at ringside as Luger lifts Race into the Human Torture Rack in the ring. Race shakes his head, struggling in the hold before he is forced to submit!] Winner: Lex Luger (Via Submission @ 11:53) Match Rating: C+</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="o2tGbRH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/o2tGbRH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="D9MYqbT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/D9MYqbT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="eF4dGgn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/eF4dGgn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="gIb7b5x.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/gIb7b5x.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ['The Total Package' Lex Luger has successfully defended the United States title. He releases Harley Race from the Human Torture Rack only to get nailed from behind by Chuck O'Connor! The crowd boos as O'Connor lifts Luger in a body slam, sending him crashing down hard on the mat. O'Connor steps on Luger's chest, walking over him before lifting up Luger in that reverse bearhug. As Luger struggles in the hold, Brian Pillman climbs up on the apron. He leaps and catches O'Connor with the Air Pillman to the back of the head, breaking the hold! Pillman quicly ascends to the top turnbuckle before nailing O'Connor with a missile dropkick! O'Connor rolls out of the ring and Harley Race pulls himself up. He rushes and hits Pillman with a running knee lift. Luger pulls himself to his feet and catches Race with multiple clotheslines! Race rolls out of the ring and joins Chuck O'Connor at ringside. Luger looks down at Pillman, checking on his friend. Race and O'Connor rush the ring again and Luger and Pillman do battle with them in the ring. Luger and Pillman get the advantage before backing up and hitting each other back to back. They both quicky turn, raising fists. They realize who it is and stare each other down for a few moments. These two men will meet one on one this Saturday on WCW Saturday Night.

This is another feud that began at the beginning of the month. JYD opened the first ever live edition of WCW Saturday Night talking about his future with the company. His speech was interrupted by the arrival of Vader, who assaulted him and left him down on the mat following the Vader Bomb. In subsequent weeks, the two men brawled in the backstage area and then brawled inside the ring last night. The brawl last night ended with security and the fun police stepping in to break things up. However, JYD got an obvious advantage during that brawl. Can he do the same here at the Clash of the Champions live on TBS? Fans watching at home get to see this match and more without paying anything extra. The video ends with JYD barking at Vader and a move to the ring with Gary Michael Cappetta making the introductions for our next bout.]</div></blockquote> Match #5 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="loSyzSq.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/loSyzSq.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="OamO7hX.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/OamO7hX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="gSushZn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/gSushZn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> 10 Minute Time Limit Big Van Vader vs. Junkyard Dog [As would be expected between these two big men, this match is a hard hitting brawl from the beginning. What one might not expect is for Big Van Vader and Junkyard Dog to have great chemistry in the ring. But they definitely showed off the chemistry as the match goes back and forth between the two larger than life wrestlers. Nearing the five minute mark, Vader locks JYD in a bear hug, squeezing the life out of the Dog. The crowd gets solidly behind JYD, getting a little hotter as the root for the man in the dog collar. JYD begins headbutting Vader over and over, finally breaking the hold. JYD bounces off the ropes and a double clothesline sends both of them to the mat. The referee begins the ten count but both men manage to beat the count. JYD goes on the offensive, stomping on Vader's foot and then landing a discus punch! JYD calls for the Big Thump! He tries to get Vader up but the earlier assault on his back through the bear hug causes JYD to crash to the mat with Vader on top of him. Instead of going for the cover, though, Vader lifts JYD and catches him with a short-arm clothesline, setting up JYD near the corner. Vader climbs to the top turnbuckle and lands a Vadersault! JR says he's never seen that move from someone that big before! Vader makes the cover and scores the three count over his rival.] Winner: Big Van Vader (Via Pinfall @ 9:44) Match Rating: B-</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="77wthr3.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/77wthr3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="nlHKC2W.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/nlHKC2W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="2q9GzCa.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/2q9GzCa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="cAWz2QZ.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/cAWz2QZ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [As Big Van Vader celebrates in the ring, we are taken to a video showcasing the history between Doom and The Southern Boys. Doom were guests on The Danger Zone and were interrupted by Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong. The challenge was issued on this show by The Southern Boys. Doom were quick to accept with Teddy Long stating that this would be like a night off for his team. The Southern Boys have been more focused, though, since challenging Doom and beat Bill Irwin and Black Bart on WCW Saturday Night a week ago. Doom, though, has had a dominant reign as the NWA World Tag Team Champions. This is a team that defeated The Steiner Brothers, after all. With Doom taking The Southern Boys lightly, however, that could work in the favor of The Southern Boys. Which team will come out on the positive end of things?

Teddy Long talks up the team at ringside as Butch Reed catches Steve Armstrong with the double underhook suplex. Reed tags in Ron Simmons and Simmons takes down Armstrong with a scoop slam before knocking Tracy Smothers off the apron. Simmons turns back to Armstrong and Armstrong hits Reed with a dropkick! Armstrong makes a quick cover but Simmons kicks out at a one count. Simmons pulls himself up to his feet and ducks a clothesline attempt by Armstrong. Simmons tags in Reed and the two men catch Armstrong with a double flapjack. Reed exits to the apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle, waiting for Armstrong to get to his feet. Armstrong staggers onto his feet and Reed catches him with the Diving Shoulderblock! He makes the quick cover as Teddy Long says that this is over: One, Two, Three!

Bischoff says that he hopes the fans here and watching at home are enjoying the show. Before we get to the main event, however, he has an announcement to make. That announcement is that WCW is about to expand the title scene. He announces that WCW will be making the World Six-Man Tag Team titles. He says that in the future they will be holding a tournament to crown the new champions. He wishes everyone luck in capturing these titles. Then, he brings out Terry Taylor to cut an interview. He asks Taylor about his match with Ric Flair. Taylor says that in just a few minutes he is going to make history by being the latest man to defeat Ric Flair and take the NWA World Heavyweight title for the first time. Taylor says that there was a time in his life and career that he was a laughingstock. He says that many thought he couldn't get over that. However, tonight, he proves those doubters wrong. Tonight, he does what so many people never thought he could do. Tonight he walks that aisle against Ric Flair and becomes the man who beat the man.

By the looks of things, they have enough time for the thirty minutes without going into the tv time remaining part of the night. Ric Flair makes his entrance as the crowd gives both boos and cheers to the leader of the Four Horsemen. The match begins slowly as Ric Flair begins strutting across the ring, avoiding locking up with Taylor in the opening minute. Taylor begins to get frustrated by Flair avoiding him and moves in to Flair. A lockup and Flair brings Taylor into the corner. The referee steps in, asking for a clean break. Instead of a clean break, Flair chops the chest of Taylor. Three more knife edge chops and Taylor staggers away from the corner. Flair moves toward Taylor and then gets a look of pain, looking down at the foot he fractured only a few weeks ago. He tries to shake it off but Taylor moves in and takes advantage, firing off some punches and then he lifts Flair and brings him down with a vertical suplex. Taylor bounces off the ropes and drops an elbow, making a quick cover but Flair grabs the bottom rope to cause the break. Taylor continues his advantage for several minutes, hitting Flair with a jawbreaker before nailing a swinging neckbreaker. Taylor, then, turns his attention to Flair's foot. He stomps on the foot before locking Flair into a Boston Crab at around the ten minute mark. The announcer reminds everyone that twenty minutes are left in the time limit. Taylor leans backward in the Boston Crab, looking to get the submission victory.] [Terry Taylor leans backward as the referee asks Ric Flair if he submits. Flair shakes his head, crying out in pain. Flair tries to inch his way toward the ropes. Taylor holds on, telling the referee to ask Flair again. Flair finally reaches the ropes, causing the break] [The referee forces Terry Taylor to break the hold and he does. He lifts Ric Flair and sends him to the ropes -- reversed! Taylor bounces off the ropes and goes for a sunset flip but Flair drops down to make the pinfall. Flair grabs the ropes for leverage as the referee counts. The referee only makes a two count before he sees Flair grabbing the ropes. The referee kicks Flair's arms to make him release the ropes, sending Flair over in the sunset flip. The referee drops down and makes the count, reaching a two count before Flair kicks out. Both men get to their feet and Flair ducks a clothesline before turning and dropping Taylor with a chopblock to the back of the knee. Taylor drops to the mat, grabbing that knee as Flair begins his usual focus right on the knee of Taylor. He does things like banging the knee against the ring apron and setting the leg on the bottom rope before leaping and landing a seated senton on the knee. Taylor is in a lot of pain but he does his best to continue the fight. Flair drags Taylor to the center of the ring and goes for the Figure Four but Taylor reverses it into a small package, scoring a two count. Flair lifts Taylor up and brings him down with a shinbreaker. Flair bounces off the ropes, catching Taylor with a kneedrop. He lifts up Taylor and pushes him back into the corner. He lands in three straight knife edge chops, reddening the chest of Terry Taylor. The crowd tries to bring Taylor back into the contest by chanting his name. Flair yells at a few fans in the front row before turning his attention back to his opponent. The distraction allows Taylor to get in a few punches! Taylor grabs Flair by the arm and Irish whips him to the opposite corner. Flair flips over the turnbuckle and lands on the apron, wincing when he lands on that formerly fractured foot. Taylor brings Flair back in the ring with a vertical suplex, floating over into a cover as ten minutes remain in the time limit:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Shoulder Up!] [Ric Flair got the shoulder up before the final three count. Terry Taylor, having heard the announcement, knows he needs to speed up his game. But that's difficult to do on one leg. Both men are slow going at the moment. As Taylor moves in, Flair suddenly springs to life. He trips Taylor to the mat and then locks in the Figure Four Leglock! The crowd is stunned and JR says that Flair was faking the injury tonight! He must have been, right? Flair leans back in the Figure Four! The hold puts more pressure on Taylor's knee that Ric Flair focused on earlier in the bout. The crowd tries to get behind Taylor as his shoulders fall to the mat. There's only a two count as the announcer lets everyone know that there's only five minutes remaining in the bout. Taylor uses the momentum spurred on by the crowd to reverse the Figure Four! Flair manages to break free and the two men slowly get to their feet. A double clothesline sends both men down to the mat. The referee begins the ten count as two minutes remain in the bout. Both men get up at the count of eight and begin exchanging blows in the middle of the ring. Taylor throws punches, while Flair chops the chest of Taylor. Flair rakes the eyes of Taylor as the announcement is made that there's only 60 seconds remaining in the time limit. Flair backs Taylor into a corner and then Irish whips him across - reversed! Flair hits the corner hard, bouncing out and Taylor brings him over with a back body drop before grabbing his knee in pain. Thirty seconds remain as Taylor has the advantage. Taylor picks up Flair and body slams him to the mat. As the announcer reaches the ten second mark and begins counting down, Taylor bounces off the ropes and hits the Five Arm on Flair! Taylor grabs his knee in pain but manages to roll over, making the cover on Flair:] [....1.... ....2.... ...DING! .3 DING! DING!] Winner: Terry Taylor (Via Pinfall @ 30:01) Match Rating: A</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="y1JBQvR.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y1JBQvR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="J4D1vhA.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/J4D1vhA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [As the bell sounds, Terry Taylor rises to his feet and raises his arms in the air, thinking that he just pinned the NWA World Heavyweight Champion! The referee checks in with the timekeeper before telling Gary Michael Cappetta the decision. The match is officially ruled a draw because the time limit expired before the final three count could be made. Ric Flair rolls out of the ring and staggers over to the timekeepers table where the NWA World Heavyweight title belt is sitting. Flair grabs the title and hugs it close to his chest, moving back to the ramp and staggering up, while facing the ring. Taylor looks angry in the ring as he came within a second of defeating Ric Flair and becoming the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion! Ric Flair knows that he was just in a war with Terry Taylor. It can definitely be seen in his eyes that he knows he was within a second of losing the title. Taylor smashes his fists on the mat, upset at the loss. JR thanks everyone for watching the show this evening and hopes that everyone has a great night. He reminds everyone to tune in to the WCW Power Hour and then WCW Saturday Night this week for more on the upcoming WrestleWar pay-per-view event in February. Tony Schiavone wishes everyone a good night and roll credits.]</div></blockquote></div>

This included a match where The New Moondogs defeated Allen Iron Eagle and Frankie Lancaster in a D+ match. Another match featured Dean Malenko submitting Octagon in a D+ rated match. The final match featured The Desperados winning a six man tag team match against Wahoo McDaniel and The Renegade Warriors in a C rated match. -The Clash of the Champions was definitely a commercial success, giving a high rated TBS broadcast and an attendance of 33,000 in the south east. -Fans and wrestlers alike were shocked by the return of the Black Scorpion angle. Eric Bischoff has been heard saying that he can do it better and that he already has plans for the payoff for the angle. -We have learned that Steven Doll turned up very late to the Clash of the Champions but that Eric Bischoff only gave him what amounted to a slap on the wrist. It made Doll seem to think that he could get away with more things in the future. -We have, also, learned that Ric Flair has taken Allen Iron Eagle under his wing as his protégé. Iron Eagle could definitely learn a lot from the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. -The same night that WCW ran the Clash, the WWF ran their yearly Royal Rumble event in the Hoosier Dome. In notable matches, Koko B. Ware defeated Mr. Perfect for the Intercontinental title, Sgt. Slaughter defeated The Ultimate Warrior for the WWF Heavyweight title and Jake Roberts won the Royal Rumble. -The WWF definitely earned the victory in attendance as they had 45,664 in the Hoosier Dome while the Clash had 33,000 in attendance. However, we have learned that, due to the Clash being on free television, the Clash of the Champions is said to have had 2,445,040 viewers on TBS. In total buys and viewers, the Royal Rumble had 447,918. It definitely helped WCW that their show was on free television.</div></blockquote>

The video shows each victor but focuses it's longest recap on the main event and the thirty minute draw between Ric Flair and Terry Taylor. -From the recap video, we move to the announce booth where it's now Jim Ross and Eric Bischoff. Bischoff explains that he is substituting for Paul E. Dangerously because Dangerously has not been seen since the end of the Clash. Bischoff and Ross speculate that it's because of his arm wrestling loss to Missy Hyatt. They turn their attention to the main event tonight where Bill Irwin will step in the ring with Brian Pillman as Pillman prepares for his NWA United States title match on WCW Saturday Night. Ross sends us to the ring for the WCW debut of The Fabulous Ones. -In an extremely short match, The Fabulous Ones(Lane-C, Keirn-C-) defeated The State Patrol(Parker-D+, Wright-D- in 3:32 when Stan Lane defeated Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker by pinfall...C- -From the ring, we move to a prerecorded interview with NWA Television Champion Z-Man. Z-Man talks about being the champion and that he doesn't plan to ever let this title go. He hypes the upcoming match with Bobby Eaton on WCW Saturday Night. He says that Eaton might have gotten the upper hand at Starrcade last year but this is a new year and it's the year of the Z-Man. -In an extremely short match, Barry Windham© defeated Frankie Lancaster(D) in 3:34 by pinfall with a Superplex...C- -A video begins to play inside what appears to be a luxury restaurant. Ric Flair is shown seated at a table on his own with lobster on the table in front of him. There's, also, a bottle of champagne on the table. It looks like Flair might be celebrating still being the champ. Flair's table gets approached by Ricky Morton. In his jean jacket and jeans, Morton looks out of place in this fancy restaurant. Flair tells Morton that he doesn't belong here and suggests a burger joint up the road. Morton says that he knows he is a better wrestler than Ric Flair and he wants the opportunity to prove it. He challenges Flair to meet him on WCW Saturday Night. To punctuate his challenge, Morton splashes Flair with a glass of the expensive champagne. Flair stands up, looking ready to come to blows. Instead, he agrees to the match and tells Morton that he's going to break his leg. -In an extremely short match, Ricky Morton(C-) defeated Mike Sharpe(D) in 3:51 by pinfall with a Diving Crossbody...C- -We go to another pre-recorded promo. This one features Kevin Von Erich. Von Erich says that when he came to the ring at the Clash, he wasn't looking to give Ricky Steamboat an advantage. He was simply keeping a lone Freebird from winning a match. He says that for years the Von Erichs have looked to destroy the Freebirds and now he has that chance. There is only one lone Freebird left and that man is Michael Hayes. He challenges Hayes to meet him in a match at WrestleWar, promising to end the Freebird legacy for good. -In a decent match, Brian Pillman(C+) defeated Bill Irwin(C-) in 10:06 by pinfall with an Air Pillman...C+ -Following the victory, Brian Pillman celebrates inside the ring. This celebration is cut short when Wild Bill Irwin pushes himself to his feet. He grabs his whip and strikes Pillman with the whip! Pillman is definitely shocked and hurt by the crack of the whip. Pillman tries to fight back but Irwin keeps him at length with the bullwhip. Instead, it's the arrival of Lex Luger that turns the tide! Luger slides in on the opposite side and takes down Irwin with a clothesline. Irwin rolls out of the ring. With Irwin dispatched, Luger and Pillman go face-to-face in the ring. These two men will meet on WCW Saturday Night, They shake hands as the show comes to an end.</div></div><div></div></blockquote></div>

But the leader of the Four Horsemen will definitely not be giving away his title without a fight. -We have learned that the announcers will be making a very important announcement on this show regarding the future of WCW. The last major announcement was made at the Clash of the Champions when Eric Bischoff announced the creation of the WCW World Six Man Tag Team titles. We have been told that this announcement will be even bigger than that. At this point all we can do is speculate on what this announcement might be. Make sure you tune in live on WCW Saturday Night to see what this announcement is. -Made last week, we will see Lex Luger defend the NWA United States title against Brian Pillman. These are two fan favorites that will be stepping in the ring in one on one fashion. Pillman is a former NWA United States Tag Team Champion along with the Z-Man. That title was won almost one year ago to the date as Pillman looks to take the United States title away from The Total Package. At the Clash, Luger lifted Harley Race in the Human Torture Rack, picking up a submission victory against the veteran. The question now is whether or not Luger can do the same to the high flying Pillman. -Having spoken of Z-Man, he will be defending the NWA Television title on this show against his rival Bobby Eaton. The last time these two men met it went to a 10 minute time limit draw. This time, the time limit has been raised to 20 minutes. This could give Bobby Eaton, now with Jim Cornette, enough time to win the title. It might also give the Z-Man enough time to prove that he can defeat Beautiful Bobby. Eaton beat Z-Man at Starrcade and then they went to that time limit draw. Is third time the charm for Eaton? Make sure you tune in and find out. -We will also see another title match as Doom issues an open challenge contest for the NWA World Tag Team titles. After a victory over The Southern Boys at the Clash, Teddy Long has told us here at the Wrestling Observer that there are no teams in WCW or the NWA that can defeat his team. With that being said, he has issued this open challenge to any team that was not part of WCW before the Clash of the Champions. We do not know what team will show up live on WCW Saturday Night. But they better be ready for a tough match with the NWA World Tag Team Champions. -Plus we will see Sting against Mike Sharpe, Kevin Von Erich against the Desperados Dutch Mantell and more surprises on a live television show. Make sure you tune in live on TBS!</div></blockquote></div> Prediction Listing 10 Minute Time Limit Mike Sharpe vs. Sting Comments: NWA World Tag Team Titles Match 20 Minute Time Limit Doom defends vs. ???

NWA World Tag Team Titles Match

20 Minute Time Limit

Doom defends vs. ???

Comments: I think Doom could win by count-out/dq here -- I'd wager on it -- but they won't lose that way on free TV. At some point, the team has to split -- Simmons [and Reed] both make fine singles competitors.

The Royal Family vs. The Steiner Brothers

Comments: I've given the Royal Family a push before, but they don't start very over. Will The Wrecking Crew get involved?

10 Minute Time Limit

Dutch Mantell vs. Kevin Von Erich

Comments: There a lot of guys you can run in the Southeast and Mid-South in the Main Event -- these two are among them -- but in those confines, hard not to see Kevin walk out with the win.

NWA World Heavyweight Title Match

30 Minute Time Limit Or TV Time Remaining

Ric Flair defends vs. Ricky Morton

Comments: Though, at some point, we will see the "TV Time Remaining" come into play and lead to a draw. It could be here.

Comments On The Diary In General: Love the Dusty Finish -- yes, it was misused in the television era -- but in both TEW and in OTL bookers rely on clean finishes too much, and the feud never gets to build past one match. In theory, and in practice, it's a great way to get heat. Of course, this finish begs one question: Does Terry have what it takes to go a full hour with Flair?

Thanks for the predictions and comments! At some point, you just might see the inevitable break up of Doom. Though I can tell you without it being too much of a spoiler that it won't happen on this night. Dutch Mantell and Kevin Von Erich are definitely two household names in the southeast and midsouth. Of course, Mantell has the support of Black Bart and Bill Irwin. Will they play a factor in this match? You have to tune in and see. I'm glad you enjoyed the Dusty Finish from the Clash. It was misused around this time or before with Dusty Rhodes there. However, I agree that it isn't used a lot in diaries. So that makes it a little more palatable on here. As for your question? He just may or may not have what it takes to stand with Flair for an hour. Maybe there's an ironman match in their future. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

<div style="text-align:center;">WCW SATURDAY NIGHT! Saturday Week 1 February 1991 Location: UIC Pavilion (Great Lakes) Attendance: 10,000 Overall Rating: B TV Rating: 2.52 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="GnP0aYj.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/GnP0aYj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><div style="text-align:right;"></div><div> [The live show begins with a video recap from the Clash of the Champions. During this event, we saw a main event where Ric Flair went to a thirty minute time limit draw with Terry Taylor. Thus meaning that Flair retains his NWA World Heavyweight title. In other action, Sting forced a submission from Larry Zbyszko, The Black Scorpion returned and Jesse Ventura debuted with his team known as The Destruction Crew. They attacked The Steiner Brothers following their match with The Horsemen. Missy Hyatt defeated Paul E. Dangerously during an arm wrestling contest. We have not seen or heard from Dangerously since this disgraceful loss. Finally, Doom successfully defended the NWA World Tag Team titles against The Wild Eyed Southern Boys.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="y1JBQvR.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y1JBQvR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [With the Clash out of the way, we head inside the UIC Pavilion where the fans are on their feet and ready for this live edition of WCW Saturday Night. The cheers turn to jeers as Ric Flair makes his way out to the ring alone. The Nature Boy is sporting a blue sequined robe and the NWA World Heavyweight title belt around his waist. Flair enters the ring and gives a little strut, drawing mostly jeers but some cheers from some of his fans here. Flair gets on the microphone and says that the Horsemen celebrated all the way from the Clash in Dixie country to WCW Saturday Night right here in the armpit of America, Chicago Illinois. These words draw a lot of boos from the fans in attendance with Flair's cheap heat. Flair says that Chicago has been thirsting for a real man to come and save their city from the likes of mediocre athletes like Michael Jordan. He says that the Horsemen arriving in Chicago is like the Queen arriving in England. He says that the Horsemen stay in the finest hotels, drink the best alcohol the city has to offer and Whooo Whooo the hottest women on planet Earth. He yells at a female sitting in the front row that she'll never get in line to ride Space Mountain because there is a teeth minimum and she obviously doesn't meet the requirements. Flair says that tonight he is going to style and profile in this ring and then get away from all the people here in Chicago. Flair goes to continue but he is interrupted by entrance music that we haven't heard in a very long time.] <img alt="x5eAKSn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/x5eAKSn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [it is the WCW return of The American Dream Dusty Rhodes! The crowd pops hard for Rhodes as he walks out and gives the fans high fives. He climbs the stairs and enters the ring, looking straight at Flair. The American Dream asks for a microphone but Flair interrupts, asking Rhodes why he's here. He says that the Dream should know that Chicago is Ric Flair Country. That is a definite change in attitude from just a few moments ago. Rhodes gets on the microphone and says that he doesn't think Chicago is Flair Country. He says that Chicago is Bulls country! Rhodes makes a prediction that the man that Ric Flair called mediocre is going to lead Chicago to a NBA Championship this year. That makes the crowd pop and begin a 'Jordan' chant. Flair says that they have talked enough about a low rent team. He wants to know why Dusty is back and why he's in the ring right now. Rhodes says that he's come back because he wants something that Ric Flair has and that's the NWA World Heavyweight title. He says that he wants to be a four time NWA World Heavyweight Champion by beating Ric Flair one more time. Flair laughs and says that Rhodes was never someone that could beat Ric Flair. He also says that Rhodes has a short memory. He reminds the American Dream that Ric Flair is a Horseman. He says that the Four Horsemen never travel alone.] <img alt="W8aeOjk.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/W8aeOjk.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="TOQWvjv.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/TOQWvjv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dorB8dB.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/dorB8dB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="1cY6wna.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/1cY6wna.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="J4D1vhA.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/J4D1vhA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tTEUBcQ.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/tTEUBcQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [Out from the back come the other three members of The Horsemen: Arn Anderson, Barry Windham and Sid Vicious! The three men walk toward the ring and begin circling with each man taking a point. The fourth side is covered by Ric Flair. He makes a motion and the Horsemen climb onto the apron with Dusty Rhodes being outnumbered in the ring. As the Horsemen are on the apron, three men come running from the back: Sting, Terry Taylor and Ricky Morton rush the ring and the fight is on between The Horsemen, Dusty Rhodes, Sting, Terry Taylor and Ricky Morton! All eight men begin to brawl both in the ring and outside the ring. The main focal point in the ring becomes Ricky Morton in there with Ric Flair. These two men will battle it out later tonight in a NWA World Heavyweight title defense. Morton catches Flair with a dropkick and Flair tries to roll outside the ring. As soon as Flair lands outside the ring, he takes a Bionic Elbow from Dusty Rhodes! On another side of the ring, Sid Vicious throws Terry Taylor into the guardrail. Vicious is definitely the largest man out there right now. Vicious slides in the ring and goes for Ricky Morton. Morton tries to strike and run from Vicious but he gets caught around the throat -- Chokeslam from Vicious to Morton! Morton lands hard on the mat and Doug Dillinger brings security out to break things up. What a crazy way to start this live edition of WCW Saturday Night! After the ring gets cleared, it's time for our opening bout with Sting remaining in the ring.]</div></blockquote> Match #1 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="ptIbh9P.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/ptIbh9P.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1cY6wna.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/1cY6wna.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> 10 Minute Time Limit Mike Sharpe vs. Sting [in an extremely short match, Sting(B) defeated Mike Sharpe(D+) in 3:32 by submission with a Scorpion Deathlock.] Winner: Sting (Via Submission @ 3:32) Match Rating: C</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="XC6iRyB.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/XC6iRyB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="H2dxWeV.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/H2dxWeV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zPlkFro.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/zPlkFro.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="k1d13or.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/k1d13or.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="ONh72Px.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/ONh72Px.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [it's time for the Wrestling News Network hosted by Gordon Solie! Solie talks briefly about the Clash of the Champions. He reminds everyone that one thing that came out of the Clash is that WCW will be bringing in the Six Man Tag Team titles. He says that a tournament for these belts will begin at WrestleWar this month. With that being said, he sends us to a promo featuring several men who will be involved in this tournament. The video shifts to Jim Cornette, Asian Nightmare and Bobby Eaton. Cornette begins by saying that he is proud to have right here the next WCW World Six Man Tag Team Champions in the Asian Nightmare and Bobby Eaton. He says that this group contains both speed and ability that is beyond the comprehension of most athletes. He says that they are especially better than that fool the Z-Man, who Eaton will defeat later tonight for the NWA Television title. He warns the other competitors that they shouldn't even show up for the tournament and just hand the belts to these men because that is exactly what's going to happen beginning with the first round at WrestleWar. He gets a phone call on a rather large cell phone and says that it's mama and he needs to go. Cornette walks off as the video fades to the ring.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="FHdV4sd.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/FHdV4sd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="77wthr3.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/77wthr3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="nlHKC2W.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/nlHKC2W.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [Walking out to the ring are the NWA World Tag Team Champions Doom along with their manager Teddy Long! Long gets on the microphone and says that his Doom have proven time and time again that they are the best tag team on planet earth. He says that they proved it last Sunday when they beat The Southern Boys. He says that they've proven it against teams like The Steiner Brothers, The Horsemen, The Rock 'N' Roll Express, The Road Warriors and the list goes on and on. He says that they are such a dominant force that tag teams don't want to sign on the dotted line to face them. That is why they have presented this open challenge tonight to any tag team in the back that wants to come out to the ring and have a match against Doom for the NWA World Tag Team titles. Long stands back and waits to see who is going to answer the challenge of Doom. It is a little surprising when The Killer Bees come out from the back! B. Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell high five the fans as they make their way to the ring. Doom could not have expected this, could they? The announcers hype this as a tag team that has wrestled all over the world and faced some of the best tag team competition known to man.

He says that he hopes everyone is enjoying the show so far. He says that this might be the best WCW Saturday Night that he's ever seen because of the arrival of Dusty Rhodes and a defense of the NWA World Tag Team titles. Not to mention a defense of the NWA World Heavyweight title later on tonight. With that being said, he invites his guests at this time, which include Alexandra York, Michael Wallstreet and The Southern Rockers. Schiavone says that he heard that York has an announcement she wants to make tonight so the microphone belongs to her. She thanks Schiavone and says that she wants to make this announcement and then get out of Chicago because this is the least technologically advanced city that she's ever been in. She says that she has been talking to the NWA Championship Committee and they have agreed that The York Foundation have been overlooked when it comes to title matches here in WCW. Therefore, next week, right here on WCW Saturday Night, The Southern Rockers tag team will get a shot at the NWA United States Tag Team titles when they face The Steiner Brothers in a tag team match. She says that she absolutely has the computer knowledge that it takes to beat a couple of imbeciles like The Steiners, especially that dog-faced competitor. She says that the computer will not let her down, nor will it let The Southern Rockers down. She proclaims that next week there will be new NWA United States Tag Team Champions in the Riverside Centroplex in Louisiana. Now, she says that she wants to get out of this town. She walks away and Tony Schiavone sends us to the ring for the NWA Television title match.]</div></blockquote> Match #3 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="A6HYrj1.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/A6HYrj1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="ONh72Px.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/ONh72Px.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="oBggdAm.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/oBggdAm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> NWA Television Title Match 20 Minute Time Limit Z-Man defends vs. Bobby Eaton [We go to the ring and our NWA Television title match is set as Z-Man defends against Bobby Eaton. Of course, Eaton has Jim Cornette in his corner. The match is set for a twenty minute time limit instead of the usual ten minute because of Cornette talking with the NWA Championship Committee. As expected, the match pace begins very quickly between these two wrestlers. A series of chain wrestling between the two men ends in a stalemate as both men end up on their feet. The momentum turns the way of Eaton when Z-Man goes for a dropkick but Eaton holds on to the top rope to keep from running into the feet of the Champion. Eaton drops down and begins throwing some hard hitting punches to Z-Man on the mat until the referee threatens Eaton with a disqualification. Beautiful Bobby picks up Z-Man and body slams him to the mat. Eaton bounces off the ropes and goes for an elbow drop but Z-Man rolls out of the way. Z-Man gets to his feet and climbs to the second rope, turning and catching Eaton with a cross body for a one count only as Eaton manages to kick out. Z-Man grabs Eaton and catches him with an inverted atomic drop before bouncing off the ropes and dropping Eaton with a clothesline. Z-Man begins clapping his hands, getting the fans into the contest. Z-Man sizes up Eaton, waiting for the latter to get to his feet. As Eaton staggers around on his feet, Z-Man catches Eaton with a super kick straight to the chin! Z-Man makes a cover:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Jim Cornette places Bobby Eaton's leg on the bottom rope, interrupting the count] [bobby Eaton was definitely saved by his manager from suffering a three count there. Eaton rolls out of the ring to avoid another pinfall attempt. He tries to speak with Cornette for a moment. Z-Man gets a little frustrated at waiting and climbs to the top rope. He leaps with a cross body out of the ring but Eaton moves and slams Z-Man into the guardrail! A split-screen replay shows Z-Man's chin striking the top of the guardrail, busting him open slightly. Eaton grabs Z-Man and runs him into the ring post before tossing him back inside the ring. Eaton joins him and begins stomping on the prone Z-Man. He makes a quick cover: One, Two, Shoulder Up! The crowd cheers when Z-Man's shoulder gets off the mat. Eaton gets up and stomps on the chest of Z-Man before making a jackknife style cover: One, Two, Z-Man lifts up in a bridge and twists it around to a backslide on Eaton: One, Two, Kickout! Z-Man pulls himself up and hits Eaton with a dropkick. He turns and bounces off the rope but Cornette strikes him in the back with the tennis racket! The referee didn't see the hit and it staggers Z-Man into a left handed punch by Eaton! With Z-Man prone on the mat, Eaton staggers and struggles his way to the turnbuckle. He begins climbing up slowly with Jim Cornette cheering him on. Eaton gets to the top and looks down at Z-Man -- Alabama Jam! He connects with the top rope legdrop! After a moment, Eaton rolls over into a cover:] [....1.... ....2.... ....3!

EMTs show up on the scene and begin bending over the two wrestlers, shining lights in their eyes and trying to use some smelling salts to arouse the two men. JR says that obviously these two men will be unable to wrestle tonight for the NWA United States title. But what will this mean for the title match between these two? He said they can only speculate what the Championship Committee is going to do. Eric Bischoff says that he is on the phone with the Committee and he says that they are very disappointed with what happened tonight. He says that this title match will be rescheduled for next week right here on WCW Saturday Night. Any interference beforehand will be dealt with and given a strict punishment by the Committee.

He says that he has managed wrestlers from all over the world and that his Devastation Incorporated here in WCW won't be any different. He says that it doesn't matter what their race or creed is. It only matters if they are worthy to be in Devastation Incorporated. That means men that he can mold into future champions in both the singles and tag team divisions.

Vader growls in the ring, throwing up his fingers in a 'V' sign. The Hardliners simply look tough as they stand inside the ring. These four men are definitely different in almost every way. The rough and tough rednecks of The Hardliners, the size and power of Big Van Vader and the authority and brains of General Skandor Akbar, whose name translates to Alexander The Great. He says that anyone who stands in his way will suffer the fire of Devastation Incorporated. Akbar then tells his men that it's time to leave the ring for now.

Scott throws Mike Enos with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. The Steiners might have kept the advantage were it not for the distraction of Ventura. The Body climbs into the ring and goes face-to-face with both members of The Steiner Brothers. But this is just a distraction to allow The Destruction Crew to grab chairs from outside the ring.

Sullivan says that they are set up to win the World Six Man Tag Team titles because look at the men here. He asks who would want to step inside the ring with the Big Cat or the New Moondogs? He says that he is the crown prince of darkness and these men are the ones that have risen from the ashes with him. These are the phoenix of World Championship Wrestling. He says that the world has been full of both good and evil for a long time. However, it is evil that has always prevailed over good.

Schiavone discusses what happened earlier to Lex Luger and Brian Pillman. He asks the tough question of whether Race and O'Connor had anything to do with it. Race gets on the microphone and asks if anyone else has the courage and fortitude to put both Luger and Pillman on the ground for good. He says that no other two men could do what the two of them did tonight. He says that's just proof that one of them should be the NWA United States Champion. Schiavone says that it was a dispicable act that they did tonight. O'Connor agrees but says that it served their purpose. It proves who the toughest men in WCW are. He says that he would like to challenge the NWA United States Champion at WrestleWar. Whether it's Luger, Pillman or Santa Claus, it doesn't matter.

When the two men arrive in the ring, Flair begins the match with a strut from one side of the ring to the other. Flair meets Morton in the middle of the ring and slaps Morton! Morton responds with a punch that knocks Flair to the mat. Flair backs up in the corner and Morton moves in, picking up Flair and throwing punches. He takes down Flair with an arm drag and then a second arm drag and then a dropkick! Flair rolls out of the ring and lands at ringside. He shakes his head as he moves around the ring, watching Morton. Morton moves to the ropes and leaps, catching Flair with a baseball slide kick through the ropes to the outside of the ring! Morton picks up Flair and tosses him back inside the ring. Morton joins Flair in the ring and locks in an armbar. He slows things down a little bit but still looks a little worse for wear from the chokeslam he took earlier in the evening from Sid Vicious. As the match moves forward, Morton remains in control of Flair, seemingly dominating the match in the early portion. Flair gets in a few shots here and there but Morton seems on a mission to take the NWA World Heavyweight title from Flair. Morton catches Flair in a victory roll, locking the legs:] [....1.... ....2.... ..Kickout!] [We came half a count away from a brand new NWA World Heavyweight Champion in Ricky Morton! As the match nears the eight minute mark, the rest of The Horsemen come down to surround the ringside area. The presence of The Horsemen seems to reenergize Ric Flair. Flair backs into a corner and then avoids a running knee shot from Morton. Instead, Morton's knee strikes the turnbuckle. Flair moves in and lifts Morton, dropping him to the mat following a shinbreaker. Flair continues his focus on the knee of Morton, including placing it on the bottom rope and leaping, landing with a seated senton on the leg. Flair tosses Morton out of the ring where Morton lands at the feet of Sid Vicious. Flair distracts the official as Vicious picks up Morton, driving him back-first into the ring apron and then Irish whips him into the guardrail before tossing Morton back inside the ring. Flair bounces off the ropes and hits Morton with a diving knee drop. Flair rises back up and begins a strut, yelling at the crowd. He is definitely showing some confidence as Morton seems laid out in the ring. Flair moves in and grabs the legs, looking for the Figure Four but Morton reverses into a small package: One, Two, Kickout! Flair manages to kickout but Morton was, once again, half a count away from becoming the next NWA World Heavyweight Champion! Flair is back up and he places Morton up in the corner, striking him with several knife edge chops but Morton comes back to life and responds with three punches in a row. He grabs Flair and Irish whips him toward the turnbuckle -- Flair flips up and over, landing on the apron. Flair runs across the apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle but Morton limps over and catches him. Flair screams no before Morton body slams Flair off the turnbuckle to the mat. Morton looks a little worse for wear, grabbing his knee as that seemed to take a lot out of him. The Chicago crowd clap their hands and stomp their feet, trying to give some of their energy to Morton. With Flair on the mat, Morton exits onto the apron and begins climbing the turnbuckle slowly due to his leg being in pain and having wrestled this match.

With The Four Horsemen in the ring, the crowd cheers when Sting and Terry Taylor come out from the back. Instead of going right into the ring, however, the two men stand at the top of the ramp where Sting has a microphone. He tells everyone that the man standing beside him came within seconds of having that belt after the Clash of the Champions. But that is in the past. Right now the focus is on WrestleWar this year. In particular the focus is on War Games. Everyone knows that The Four Horsemen will be on one side of the ring. Sting makes sure everyone knows that he and Terry Taylor are two of the men that will be on the other side of the ring. But tonight he will be introducing the two men who will be joining himself and Taylor in that match. Flair grabs a microphone and asks what two men would be crazy enough to take on The Horsemen. He says that Sting probably got Dusty Rhodes and maybe his son or maybe The Killer Bees or maybe The Renegade Warriors. Sting says that he got none of those men but Flair is right when he says that these men are crazy.

Both of these dark matches featured tag teams that have yet to make their debut on the main roster. One of the teams defeated Allen Iron Eagle and Frankie Lancaster. The other team defeated Desperado members Bill Irwin and Black Bart. Missy Hyatt, also, shot t-shirts into the crowd to get the Chicago crowd fired up before the show. -The crowd in attendance were in absolute shock to see the return of the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. The last time Rhodes was seen he was in the WWF's Royal Rumble at the end of January. Now he will be taking on Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight title this Saturday on WCW Saturday Night. -We have learned that Steven Doll failed to show up for a scheduled meeting with a road agent. He was given a hefty fine and warned that things would be worse if he failed to show up for another meeting. But we have learned that his behavior has improved and he is happy with the fine, knowing it could be worse. -Road agent Jody Hamilton brought a Nintendo Entertainment System and a small television to hook it up to. He held a tournament before the show playing Space Invaders which he eventually won. -We have also learned that Black Bart and Big Van Vader have grown a strong friendship relationship backstage. It is great when wrestlers form friendships outside the ring. We definitely encourage this in WCW. -We learned that The Total Package Lex Luger has bulked up. -WCW approached Andre The Giant about coming to the promotion but he told them no. He believes that they are too small for him right now. -A lot of wrestlers finished their tour with All Japan Pro Wrestling at the end of January. This includes wrestlers like Johnny Smith, Dan Spivey, Terry Funk, Dory Funk, Jr., Joel Deaton and more. -Independent wrestler Ice Train has suffered from a C7 Cervical Spinal Cord Compression and will be out for over a year. -The WWF had a scandal with financial mismanagement by their accountants. We learned that they lost $4,542,000. -Veteran wrestler Bam Bam Bigelow has signed with the WWF.</div></blockquote>

I am glad to be running both of those diaries. I feel lucky to have this one win the Legendary Diary of the Month a month ago. I hope to continue that momentum moving forward.

What a main event we have for you this evening. It might just be the biggest main event in the history of WCW Saturday Night. Current NWA World Heavyweight Champion The Nature Boy Ric Flair defends the title against The American Dream Dusty Rhodes! Rhodes is a former three time NWA World Heavyweight Champion while Flair is in the middle of his seventh title run that began back in January. That could come to an end right here on WCW Saturday Night, the same show where he began that title run. Make sure you tune in to find out. -That is not the only title match that we will have this evening. As was announced last week, The Southern Rockers of the York Foundation will receive a United States Tag Team title shot against The Steiner Brothers. On the Power Hour The York Foundation received a warning from Jesse Ventura and The Destruction Crew about this match. Alexandra York did not seem worried and seemed focused on her team winning the United States Tag Team titles on this night. But they will have to go through the dominant Steiner Brothers. Not an easy task considering the stranglehold that the Steiners have had on these belts. No matter who wins this match, they still have The Destruction Crew looming in the background. -Speaking of United States titles, we will have the United States title match this week that we did not have last week when Lex Luger defends the title against Brian Pillman. Of course we found out that it was Harley Race and Chuck O'Connor that attacked both of them backstage before the bout. With this rematch announced, it was also announced that if anyone stops this match from taking place this week there will be punishments from the NWA Championship Committee. Both of these men are definitely looking forward to this contest. It will be a clash of the power of Luger and the speed of Flyin' Brian. -Plus we will see Wahoo McDaniel against Mike Sharpe, The Samoan Swat Team against The Malenko Brothers and more surprises on a live television show.

He announces that he is the new representative of the NWA Championship Committee. He says that he is proud to be here representing both the NWA and WCW. He says that it is his job to present the best wrestling action in the world. He knows that with wrestlers like Sting, Dusty Rhodes, the NWA United States Champion Lex Luger, the NWA World Heavyweight champion Ric Flair, Big Van Vader and more that this company presents the best wrestling action. Speaking of wrestling action, tonight is a night of champions here on WCW Saturday Night. There will be three titles defended on this night, including the NWA United States Tag Team titles in the opening match where The Steiner Brothers defend against The Southern Rockers, the NWA United States title is defended by Lex Luger against Brian Pillman and the NWA World Heavyweight title is on the line as Ric Flair defends against Dusty Rhodes.

On the microphone, he says that he is proud to be here with the greatest wrestling action in the world. He says that he is looking forward to a close seat tonight for all of the wrestling action. The attention returns to where Eric Bischoff is standing in the ring. Bischoff says that this is not the only decision he is making tonight. He says that, with The Horsemen lurking around, he is not so sure that we can get a clean match in our main event. Therefore, he is banning Arn Anderson, Barry Windham and Sid Vicious from the building tonight. He has already had security escort the three men from the building. This leaves Ric Flair defending the NWA World Heavyweight title one on one in the match with Dusty Rhodes in our main event. Bischoff is about to wrap things up when '2001' begins to play.

He says that he has been representing the National Wrestling Alliance for a longer time than Eric Bischoff has been in the wrestling business. He says that he is the man who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He tells Bischoff that he needs to make a different decision and let the Horsemen back into the building or something bad might happen to him. Bischoff warns Flair not to make threats like that because, if anything happens to him, he will strip Ric Flair of the NWA World Heavyweight title.

The Steiner Brothers start things strong, striking both King and Doll with Steinerlines. Scott grabs King and tosses him with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Rick catches Doll with another Steinerline and The Southern Rockers quickly roll out of the ring and regroup with Alexandra York. Rick drops on all fours and barks as Scott stands over him. Timothy King rolls into the ring to start things out against Rick Steiner. King locks up with Rick and grabs him in a side headlock. Rick throws King off to the ropes and King leapfrogs over Rick before catching him with a dropkick on the rebound. King tags in Doll and Doll catches Rick Steiner with a flying headscissors! This, however, sends Rick into his corner and he tags in his brother, Scott. Scott comes in like a house on fire! He trades blows with both members of The Southern Rockers before catching King with a double underhook power bomb. Doll, however, is the legal man and he strikes Scott with a double axehandle, gaining control for The Southern Rockers. As we move closer and closer to the time limit, Doll and King start to get a little desperate. This desperation leads to some double team moves but one that doesn't work out when King holds Scott but Scott ducks a clothesline attempt and it hits King! Scott crawls over and tags in his brother, who runs around the ring barking. Rick fires in Steinerlines and then picks up King, dropping him with a scoop slam. Steven Doll strikes Rick with a clip to the knee and Alexandra York climbs on the apron, getting the referee's attention. What the referee did not see was that she slid the laptop into the ring. Steven Doll picks it up and cracks Rick Steiner over the head with the laptop, shattering it and sending pieces all over the ring! Timothy King comes in and knocks Scott Steiner off the apron as Doll catches Rick with a Hotshot! Doll makes the cover, York leaping off the apron: One, Two, Three!

They are handed the belts and raise them up just in time to get blindsided by The Destruction Crew led by Jesse Ventura! Ventura directs traffic as Mike Enos and Wayne Bloom attack the new champions.

Schiavone says that we have already seen a wild night of action. We are sure to see more great action tonight. But right now he is with Wahoo and The Renegade Warriors. He says that he learned that these three men have entered the WCW World Six Man Tag Team title tournament. He asks them about this decision. McDaniel says that it is true that they have entered the tournament. He says that the three of them are the best Native American wrestlers in the business. That means that they will be the team that walks away with the belts. McDaniel, also, hypes the match that he is about to wrestle in against Mike Sharpe. He talks about Sharpe being a veteran wrestler so he is prepared for a good match. The Renegade Warriors don't say much, standing in the background as McDaniel is the spokesperson for the team. Schiavone wishes McDaniel good luck and Wahoo heads toward the ring for the next bout.]</div></blockquote> Match #2 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="ptIbh9P.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/ptIbh9P.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="3w8Xfi2.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/3w8Xfi2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> 10 Minute Time Limit Mike Sharpe vs. Wahoo McDaniel [in an extremely short match, Wahoo McDaniel© defeated Mike Sharpe(D) in 3:40 by submission with an Indian Deathlock.] Winner: Wahoo McDaniel (Via Submission @ 3:40) Match Rating: C-</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="XC6iRyB.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/XC6iRyB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="eF4dGgn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/eF4dGgn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="gIb7b5x.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/gIb7b5x.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [it is time, once again, for the Wrestling News Network hosted by Gordon Solie.

Solie says that we have an interview with both of these men taped before their match tonight. We go to the interview with the NWA United States champion first, Lex Luger. The Total Package begins by saying that last week WCW fans were robbed of seeing what could only be described as a great match between himself and his friend Brian Pillman. He says that Flyin' Brian is a great wrestler and has a style that is different than him. However, he is still the Total Package and he is going to prove tonight that he is deserving of the United States title. Luger poses as we move to an interview with Brian Pillman. Pillman says that not only were wrestling fans robbed of a great match, they were robbed of him winning the United States title. He says that Lex Luger is a great athlete but so is he. Lex Luger is definitely stronger than him but he has to be able to catch him first. He says that he will live up to his name and fly around the ring before pinning Luger: One, Two, Three and taking the United States title back to Ohio.

The two men shake hands as the bell sounds. Luger goes to lock up with Pillman but Pillman ducks the lock up and catches Luger with a dropkick! Luger staggers backward into the corner. Pillman rushes in and climbs up, going for a monkey flip but the power of Luger keeps him from getting flipped over. Instead, he takes a few steps forward and catches Pillman with an inverted atomic drop! Luger catches Pillman with a short-arm clothesline and takes control of the match. The fans are split in the background as The Total Package maintains control in these opening minutes. Luger lifts Pillman up in a military press slam, sending the challenger right down to the mat. Pillman holds his back in pain as the announcers let everyone know that the title will be defended at WrestleWar against Chuck O'Connor no matter who the champion might be. Speaking of Chuck O'Connor, he and Harley Race come down to ringside to scout out the competition. Luger is distracted by them but Pillman is not as he pushes to his feet and goes right after Luger. He rolls up Luger and scores a two count. Both men get up and Pillman ducks a clothesline, catching Luger with a chop to the chest. Pillman grabs Luger and strikes him in the back of the neck with a couple of forearm shots, knocking Luger to the mat. Pillman goes outside and climbs the turnbuckles, waiting for Luger to get to his feet. Pillman leaps with a cross body press but Luger catches him, sending him over in a powerslam! Luger gets to his feet and signals for the Human Torture Rack! Before he can put it on, Chuck O'Connor and Harley Race enter the ring and go right after Luger and Pillman!

Race picks up Pillman and drops him with a body slam, putting him in position. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and leaps, hitting a diving headbutt. On the other side of the ring, O'Connor pushes Luger back into a corner, throwing forearm smashes and punches to The Total Package. O'Connor lifts Luger and drops him with a Samoan drop. He lifts Luger back up and locks in the Reverse Bearhug! He squeezes tight as Luger tries to break free but he's unable to fight back after having a hard-fought match and the attack. Back on the other side of the ring, Harley Race is still in control of Brian Pillman. Race tucks Pillman in between his legs and lifts him up, dropping him with the Piledriver! He gets to his feet and motions to O'Connor. O'Connor releases Luger and the dastardly villains stand tall inside the ring. Could this happen at WrestleWar?

He high fives the fans on his way to the ring, sliding inside the ring and being given a microphone. He says that he hopes the fans are having a great time tonight because he's out here to talk about his upcoming match with Ric Flair. He reminds everyone that at the Clash of the Champions he successfully defeated Larry Zbyszko and retained his rematch against Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight title. He says that no matter who wins tonight, he is going to be facing the NWA World Heavyweight champion at Spring Stampede next month. He says that he hopes the winner is Dusty Rhodes because he knows they can have an excellent match together. Sting is interrupted as the lights begin to flicker in the arena. Sting looks around as the voice of The Black Scorpion begins to speak. The Black Scorpion reminds Sting that he is still here and ready to remove Sting from the equation. He says that Sting is not going to survive long enough to cash in that title shot at Spring Stampede. He says that he wants Sting's life. Sting challenges The Black Scorpion to come out and meet him. He says that he's ready for The Black Scorpion right now. The Black Scorpion says he's not ready to come out right now. But he warns Sting that his past is going to come back to haunt him. The lights flicker and then turn off, leaving the crowd in total darkness. When the lights return, Sting is lying on the mat holding his ribs. He seems to be in a lot of pain as EMTs step in to check on him.

But there's another match that we might see at WrestleWar. Last night on the Power Hour Junkyard Dog challenged Big Van Vader to a Dog Collar match. Solie sends us to an interview with Devastation Inc. All of the members of Devastation Inc. are shown with Skandor Akbar standing in front, Big Van Vader beside him and The Hardliners are slightly in the background. Akbar says that Junkyard Dog is making a big mistake if he thinks he has a chance against Big Van Vader in a dog collar match. He says that Vader is an absolute monster. He has proven that time and time again. So if the Junkyard Dog wants a dog collar match with a beast then he's got it. But he reminds JYD that this is all on him. He says that when Vader ends his career it will be all his fault. Then, Devastation, Inc. will rise up and take all of the titles in this company.

Schiavone says that tonight has been a great show but we are only a little over a week away from WrestleWar where we will see some great action.

Schiavone congratulates Bobby Eaton on a successful title defense and then turns the focus to the WCW World Six Man Tag Team titles. He asks Jim Cornette about that and Cornette tells him that the truth is that he has the best group in professional wrestling. Forget guys like Wahoo McDaniel and The Renegade Warriors or The Desperados or any other group because these three men are the best in the business. Cornette's words are interrupted by the presence of the former NWA Television champion Z-Man. Cornette tells Z-Man that he has a lot of guts coming out here when there's three of them and only one of him. Z-Man responds that he didn't come out here for a fight. Instead, he came out here with a challenge. He says that the first round of the WCW World Six Man Tag Team titles tournament begins at WrestleWar. He says that he is getting together a team to join this tournament. Why not have his team face Cornette's team in the first round of the tournament at WrestleWar? An arrogant Jim Cornette immediately accepts the challenge and then tells his team to get him. This leads to a 3-on-1 beatdown of the Z-Man by Asian Nightmare and Bobby Eaton. Pat Tanaka strikes with a kick to the face. Then the two members of Asian Nightmare hold Z-Man up while Jim Cornette slaps him.

As we learned earlier, the rest of the Four Horsemen have been banned from the building for this match. That makes this truly a one on one match. The two men make their entrances and referee Nick Patrick holds up the NWA World Heavyweight title belt. Patrick places the belt outside the ring and then calls for the bell. The two men step forward to the center of the ring and Flair avoids a lockup, strutting across the ring and releasing a 'Whooo.' Rhodes just watches from the opposite side of the ring. When they do lock up, Rhodes backs Flair into a corner and does a clean break but Flair lands a chop to the chest instead. Rhodes fires back with a punch and the two exchange blows before Rhodes gets the advantage with a bionic elbow to the head, sending Flair stepping forward and then stumbling to the mat face-first. Rhodes goes for a cover but only scores a two count before Flair places his foot on the bottom rope. Rhodes stands up and picks up Flair, sending him to the ropes before dropping him with a shoulderblock. Rhodes maintains control for several minutes until he lifts Flair up on the top turnbuckle and goes for the Superplex. Flair manages to block it and knock Rhodes to the mat. Flair drops down and rolls up Rhodes, placing his feet on the ropes for leverage:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Kickout!] [Ric Flair gets right in control of Dusty Rhodes, going after the knee. As is usual during a Flair match, the next few minutes are spent with Ric Flair in control, working on the knee of Rhodes. He keeps Rhodes grounded as he stomps on the knee, rams it against the ring post, drops a seated senton on the knee and other moves that keep the American Dream down. Around the nine minute mark, Flair locks Rhodes in the Figure 4! The crowd boos, trying to get the American Dream to make a comeback. He shakes his head, refusing to give up to the submission hold. The crowd begins clapping their hands and stomping their feet as they try to will Rhodes to break the hold. After about a minute of being locked in the Figure 4, Rhodes manages to turn and twist, reversing the hold until Flair breaks it. Both men are slow to get to their feet as we have reached the ten minute mark in the match. The two men meet in the center of the ring and exchange blows before Rhodes gets the advantage. He Irish whips Flair to the corner and Flair flips up and over the turnbuckle. Flair runs along the apron and climbs the turnbuckle. He leaps but is caught with a punch to the gut by the Dream. Rhodes grabs his knee, wincing in pain. He picks up Flair and sends him to the corner again but referee Nick Patrick is in the corner! The referee gets squashed and rolls out of the ring landing at ringside. Rhodes hesitates, seeing what he's done. He goes to check on the official but takes a thumb to the eye by Flair! Flair grabs Rhodes and throws him over the top rope to the floor at ringside right by the fallen official. Flair slides out of the ring and grabs a cable from one of the cameras, using it to choke Rhodes at ringside for several moments before letting go. Flair rolls Rhodes in the ring as another referee comes in. Flair looks to lock on the Figure Four but Rhodes reverses it into a small package:] [....1.... ....2.... ....3!] Winner: Dusty Rhodes (Via Pinfall @ 15:53) Match Rating: B+</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="x5eAKSn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/x5eAKSn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="y1JBQvR.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y1JBQvR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [The crowd is in utter disbelief! We have just seen a brand new NWA World Heavyweight champion crowned on WCW Saturday Night! In the ring, Ric Flair is absolutely livid! He cannot believe that he has been bested by one of his biggest rivals! Referee Randy Anderson is handed the NWA World Heavyweight title belt and he hands it over to Dusty Rhodes! Rhodes holds up the title belt as he stands on one bad knee. It has been nearly five years since he last held this title. He moves to all four corners of the ring, raising the belt up high. Suddenly, Nick Patrick manages to roll inside the ring, having been knocked out earlier in the match. Nick Patrick pulls himself up and goes to speak with Randy Anderson. There seems to be a clear cut argument being made between Patrick and Anderson. It's difficult to tell exactly what the argument is about. But they seem to come to a decision and then Nick Patrick speaks with Gary Michael Cappetta. Cappetta makes the official announcement: Referee Nick Patrick has disqualified Ric Flair for throwing Dusty Rhodes over the top rope in the match. Therefore, Dusty Rhodes wins by disqualification but Ric Flair is still the NWA World Heavyweight champion! A large amount of boos come from the crowd when they hear this decision. Dusty Rhodes, himself, cannot understand what is happening. Ric Flair snatches the title belt away from him as Rhodes makes an argument to both referees. Flair strikes Rhodes in the knee with the belt and then begins stomping on him.] <img alt="1cY6wna.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/1cY6wna.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="J4D1vhA.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/J4D1vhA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [Sting and Terry Taylor come running out from the back. Ric Flair sees them and quickly dives out of the ring with the NWA World title belt in hand. Sting and Taylor check on Rhodes as Flair moves around to get to the ramp. With the other Horsemen banned from the building, Ric Flair is out here alone. Sting and Taylor look upset over the night's events but even moreso over Rhodes being seemingly injured here on this night. The American Dream leans against the ropes, using Sting and Taylor to help get him to his feet. He has a look of defiance on his face, as though he is telling Ric Flair that no one can keep him down. Rhodes shakes his head as the announcers talk about that Ric Flair got away with a fast one here tonight. It's the second time he's slithered away with his title, the first time being at the Clash of the Champions. But that's the end of the show this evening. Jim Ross and Pedro Morales remind everyone to tune in to WCW Power Hour as we are headed to the weekend of WrestleWar and War Games! Have a great night everyone!]</div></blockquote></div>

Thanks for the predictions and comments. I was definitely glad to sign up the Samoan Swat Team. They are a very dangerous tag team and I thought it might be a shocker for most people when I bring them in as faces instead of heels. Either way, they are headed to War Games.

News And Notes

-Last WCW Saturday Night at the Riverside Centroplex had three dark matches. Two of them featured wrestlers who have not yet debuted. The third one featured a tag team encounter where Arn Anderson and Barry Windham defeated The Killer Bees in what was rated as a C- match.

-Backstage, Lex Luger was taken to wrestler's court where the judge presiding was Arn Anderson. Luger was accused of making a mess backstage and not cleaning it up. Anderson found him guilty and sentenced him to clean it up and buy drinks for everyone after the show. Not only did Luger follow through with the sentence but seemed contrite and said he would be cleaning up his act, along with the backstage area.

-Watching the backstage area, it was seen that Ric Flair took Chris Youngblood on as his protégé. He definitely seems to see something in the Renegade Warrior. No word on how Chris's brother Mark Youngblood is taking this news.

-Last week saw the signings and subsequent debuts of Joe Malenko, Pedro Morales and referee's Randy Eller and David Manning.

-Backstage, we saw a new friendship develop between enhancement talents Frankie 'The Thumper' Lancaster and Iron Mike Sharpe. It's always good to see talents getting along as it helps the backstage area.

-Texas Championship Wrestling has gone off the air, leaving Gary Hart's Texas Wrestling Federation without a show on any station.

-WCW's developmental promotion, USPW, held their second monthly show. More to come on that later on but we did learn that Ric Flair came down to defend the NWA World Heavyweight title.

-Playboy Buddy Rose and Don 'The Rock' Muraco both signed with the WWF under written deals. It will be interesting to see just how the WWF uses these two talents.

-Speaking of the WWF, Brother Love and Joey Marella were both released. Will we see either of them in WCW now? As of right now, neither have been signed.
