<div style="text-align:center;">POWER HOUR! (B-Show) Friday Week 3 February 1991 Location: Memorial Auditorium (Mid Atlantic) Attendance: 3,141 Overall Rating: B- TV Rating: .12 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div>-The show opens at the announce booth where Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone welcome everyone to the WCW Power Hour. They hype tonight's show, which will feature two rematches. One of those rematches is from last week's show right here on the Power Hour. This match will feature the new NWA United States Tag Team champions The Southern Rockers as they face The Renegade Warriors in a non title match. The other match will be our main event where Bobby Eaton defends the NWA Television title against Z-Man. With those in mind, JR sends us to the ring and Gary Michael Cappetta for our opening bout. -In an extremely short match, Terry Taylor(B-) defeated Mike Sharpe(D) in 4:02 by pinfall with a Flying Forearm Smash...C- -A video begins to play recapping exactly what happened last week on WCW Saturday Night during the main event. An old rivalry was renewed when Dusty Rhodes challenged Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight title. It was as good a bout as anyone could have expected. The American Dream managed to roll The Nature Boy into a small package and everyone thought we had a new NWA World Heavyweight champion. This was not to be, however. Senior referee Nick Patrick had been knocked out of the match and, during this time, Ric Flair threw Dusty Rhodes over the top rope. So when the referee came to, he spoke with Randy Anderson, who replaced him and the decision was changed to a disqualification victory for Rhodes. This means that Ric Flair is still the NWA World Heavyweight champion. -As The Southern Rockers make their way to the ring for their match, we are treated to an inset promo with The Southern Rockers and Alexandra York. York says that she knew that when she brought The Southern Rockers to the promotion that they would become champions. She says that she fulfilled that promise last week on WCW Saturday Night. Now, they step in the ring with The Renegade Warriors and she and the computer promise a victory in less than 6:42. -In an extremely short match, The Southern Rockers(Doll-D+, King-D) defeated The Renegade Warriors(D) in 4:06 when Steven Doll defeated Chris Youngblood by pinfall with a Double DDT...D+ -It's time for the Wrestling News Network hosted by Gordon Solie! Solie begins by stating that he has learned that Eric Bischoff will have a special announcement regarding the United States Tag Team title picture tomorrow night on WCW Saturday Night. But that is on WCW Saturday Night. The Control Center turns to WrestleWar and War Games. Solie sends us to an interview with the man called Sting! Sting says that he is feeling his heart beating. He's feeling the excitement. He knows that they are only a couple of days away from War Games. He says that he is confident in his team. He knows that he has a winning team with Terry Taylor and the Samoan Swat Team. He ends the interview by challenging any member of the Four Horsemen to meet him on WCW Saturday Night the night before WrestleWar. -In an extremely short match, The Steiner Brothers(B-) defeated The Malenko Brothers(Dean-D+, Joe-D) in 3:40 when Rick Steiner defeated Dean Malenko by pinfall with a Steiner-Line...C- -We go to a pre-taped interview with Michael Hayes. The Lone Freebird says that Kevin Von Erich made a huge mistake when he interfered in Hayes' match at the Clash last month. But that situation is going to be rectified at WrestleWar when Von Erich steps into Badstreet USA. He warns Von Erich not to show up at WrestleWar because if he does he's going to leave the building on a stretcher. -In another pre-taped promo, we are taken to a video featuring Paul E. Dangerously. Dangerously says that he is focused on Spring Stampede next month where his Dangerous Alliance will take on Missy Hyatt's squad of idiots. He says that tomorrow night on WCW Saturday Night he will have the debut of two members of his team in tag team action. He finishes by saying that the Dangerous Alliance is going to conquer professional wrestling. -In a decent match, Bobby Eaton(B-) defeated Z-Man(D+) in 10:02 by pinfall with an Alabama Jam. Bobby Eaton makes defence number 2 of his NWA World Television title...B- -To close the show, we are taken back to the announce booth where Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone are standing by. They hype tomorrow night's WCW Saturday Night television show on TBS, The SuperStation. Schiavone announces that there will be a tag team match on WCW Saturday Night pitting Lex Luger and Brian Pillman against Harley Race and Chuck O'Connor. We will, also, see if The Four Horsemen will accept Sting's challenge laid out here earlier tonight for a one on one match. JR reminds everyone to watch WCW Saturday Night and then WrestleWar this Sunday. The show comes to a close. See you on the SuperStation!</div></div><div></div></blockquote></div>

Tonight, WCW Saturday Night comes to you live from the Wildwoods Convention Center in Wildwood, New Jersey. Last night on Power Hour, Sting challenged any member of The Four Horsemen to face him in singles action. We have learned that Sid Vicious accepted the challenge and these two men will meet in our main event only one day before they will face each other in War Games: The Match Beyond. -Though they have been seen exclusively on the Power Hour, The Fabulous Ones will make their WCW Saturday Night debut this week. Stan Lane and Steve Keirn are two veteran wrestlers but their opponents are two second generation wrestlers as they will be stepping inside the ring with The Malenko Brothers. Dean and Joe Malenko haven't gotten off on the right foot here in WCW but that could easily change with a victory against The Fabulous Ones. Only one team can come out on top. -Both the NWA World Tag Team titles and the NWA United States Tag Team titles will be spoken about on this night. Last week, Teddy Long announced that whomever comes out to the ring and accepts the open challenge on this night will face Doom for the belts at WrestleWar. It could be any tag team both in the promotion and outside the promotion. Make sure you tune in and find out which team will face them. As for the United States Tag Team titles, now held by The Southern Rockers, Eric Bischoff has said that he will be making an announcement regarding the belts on this night. We can only imagine that he will be announcing a challenging team for the belts at WrestleWar. -The first hour main event will feature a tag team bout as Lex Luger teams with Brian Pillman against Harley Race and Chuck O'Connor. We have learned that O'Connor will challenge Luger for the United States title at WrestleWar. This will be an interesting preview of that match and a chance for revenge for Luger and Pillman after the recent attacks by the duo of Race and O'Connor. -Paul E. Dangerously announced on the Power Hour that the first two members of his new Dangerous Alliance will be in action here on WCW Saturday Night. We have learned that their opponents will be the veteran tag team known as The Killer Bees. Missy Hyatt will surely be watching this match closely as the reveal of two of her opponents at Spring Stampede will be made. -Plus we will see The Royal Family against The Samoan Swat Team, Big Van Vader against Brad Armstrong 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 Two Members Of The Dangerous Alliance vs. The Killer Bees Comments: Predictions on who these two men are: 10 Minute Time Limit Big Van Vader vs. Brad Armstrong Comments: 10 Minute Time Limit The Royal Family vs. The Samoan Swat Team Comments: 20 Minute Time Limit Harley Race and Chuck O'Connor vs. Lex Luger and Brian Pillman Comments: 10 Minute Time Limit The Malenko Brothers vs. The Fabulous Ones Comments: 30 Minute Time Limit Or TV Time Remaining Sid Vicious vs. Sting Comments: Comments On The Diary In General:

Looking over the PWI results, I took notice that there's no Hulk at either In Your House or any of the WWF's TV shows. Is he off filming a movie or injured, or are they just not using him?

Dangerous Alliance - Well I'm sure that you intend on making your own mark on the Dangerous Alliance, but at the same time it's a surefire way to get someone like Steve Austin over in a hurry, so I'll choose him. Looking over the free agent pool, I'll also go with Nikita Koloff as he's a big nasty heel you can bring in. So that's who I'm figuring this team is, Austin and Koloff.

Vader

SST

Race and O'Connor - A heel win for the heel team gives them some strong momentum ahead of WrestleWar.

The Fabs - Pretty cool to see you using the Fabs really, though I look forward to when they have a run-in with Beautiful Bobby and Cornette.

Sting - I could lean either toward Sting winning or a no contest, but I'll go with Sting so that he's chalked up a big win over a Horseman.

I've been planning a WCW in 91 for weeks, keep the NWA alive and revisit the Black Scorpion. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Jim Ross and Pedro Morales quickly welcome us to the show before the doors open at the top of the stage to reveal the arrival of Paul E. Dangerously. Dangerously has a microphone and he begins by saying that tonight is the debut of the most dangerous group in professional wrestling, The Dangerous Alliance. Dangerously enters the ring and walks up to both members of The Killer Bees. He flashes a smile and tells them that the two of them have entered the Danger Zone. He asks them what they think about being the first sacrifical lambs to the Dangerous Alliance. He holds the microphone over and then brings it back before B. Brian Blair can answer. Dangerously says that he knows what they are thinking. He says that he knows that it is an honor to take on any members of The Dangerous Alliance. But he, also, knows that they want to know who their opponents are going to be. Without any further adue, he introduces the first two members of the Dangerous Alliance...] <img alt="D2MBQs4.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/D2MBQs4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2aFcRN0.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/2aFcRN0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [...The doors open at the top of the stage to reveal the tag team known as The Miracle Violence Connection! Steve 'Dr. Death' Williams and Terry 'Bam Bam' Gordy walk out from the back with their eyes focused on the ring and their manager. The crowd is definitely in shock as the two men enter the ring. Jim Ross talks about the history with these two men here in WCW. He says that Williams is a former college and professional football player from Oklahoma. He says that Terry Gordy is a former member of the Fabulous Freebirds. Williams and Gordy stand in the corner discussing strategy with Paul E. Dangerously. Dangerously gets on the microphone and tells everyone that Dr. Death here has not been pinned in North American since 1987. That means four years so far without being pinned. The Killer Bees definitely look worried now that they know who their opponents will be. Then Dangerously tells the two members of the Dangerous Alliance to attack and the match begins.]</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="D2MBQs4.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/D2MBQs4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2aFcRN0.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/2aFcRN0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7bAaXoi.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/7bAaXoi.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="y902trk.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y902trk.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="EEopQyO.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EEopQyO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> 10 Minute Time Limit The Miracle Violence Connection vs. The Killer Bees [in an extremely short match, Miracle Violence Connection(Gordy=B-, Williams=C+) defeated The Killer Bees(Blair=C+, Brunzell=C) in 4:07 when Steve Williams defeated B.

Schiavone talks about the surprise of The Miracle Violence Connection debuting here in WCW. But, then, he turns his attention to his next interview, bringing out the members of The Four Horsemen. The four men look absolutely confident as they surround Schiavone. Schiavone says that these four men will be stepping into War Games tomorrow night at WrestleWar against Sting, Terry Taylor and The Samoan Swat Team. Ric Flair grabs the microphone and tells Schiavone that he needs to stop right there. He says that Schiavone is wrong about who they will be facing. He tells the people in the truck to roll the footage. Jim Ross wonders what this footage is and we are taken to a video that is inside a limousine. All four members of The Horsemen are seated inside this limousine, as well as someone running the camera. The camera is a little shaky due to it being simply a hand-held camera. Arn Anderson tells the limousine to pull over to the side of the road right up here. All of The Horsemen and the cameraman get out of the limousine and rush toward a gas station where Terry Taylor is pumping gas into his car. The Horsemen assault Taylor in a four on one attack! Taylor tries to fight back but the numbers are definitely too much for him to be able to fight against all four men. Arn Anderson produces a baseball bat! Sid Vicious and Barry Windham hold the arm of Taylor out and Anderson bashes the arm of Taylor with the baseball bat! Taylor screams in pain, holding his arm! Anderson hits the arm with the bat again. The sound of sirens can be heard in the background so The Horsemen take off back to the limo and get away before the police cars roll in. The video fades back to the staging area as Jim Ross talks about being disgusted with this malicious assault by The Horsemen. Tony Schiavone sends us back to the ring for our next match.]</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="loSyzSq.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/loSyzSq.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="B2MFs4v.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/B2MFs4v.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="EctUzuw.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EctUzuw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> 10 Minute Time Limit Big Van Vader vs. Brad Armstrong [in an extremely short match, Big Van Vader(B-) defeated Brad Armstrong(D+) in 4:05 by stoppage when Brad Armstrong could not continue.] Winner: Big Van Vader (Via Referee Stoppage @ 4:05) 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="4GcaPjd.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/4GcaPjd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="RlnfgHc.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/RlnfgHc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [We move back to the staging area where Tony Schiavone is standing by. Schiavone says that if Big Van Vader can do that against Junkyard Dog at WrestleWar then he will walk out of the dog collar match with a victory. But then he welcomes his guest at this time, Missy Hyatt! The bubbly Hyatt comes out and gives Schiavone a hug before leading the crowd in a chant of 'Missy Hyatt!' Well, at least, she leads SOME of the crowd in that chant. Schiavone begins the interview by asking Hyatt about the debut of The Miracle Violence Connection tonight as the first two members of The Dangerous Alliance. Hyatt says that those two showed how good they are tonight but she promises to bring in wrestlers that are even better than them. She asks Schiavone what she should name her team. Maybe Hyatt's Hair? Or Missy's Men? She says that since Paul E. decided to name a couple of members of his team then maybe she should name someone on her team? She calls out someone from the back to come on out and show that he is one of Missy's Men!] <img alt="1ttQtBy.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/1ttQtBy.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [This big Texan walks out from the back and joins Missy Hyatt at the staging area. Hyatt hugs him and then introduces him as 'The Natural' Dustin Rhodes, son of Dusty Rhodes! Tony Schiavone welcomes Rhodes to WCW and then hands him the microphone. Rhodes says that it feels good to be here in WCW. He says that he has learned a lot from his father before coming here. The most important thing he learned from his father is respect. He says that when he steps in the ring he will always show respect to his opponent no matter who that opponent might be. He says that the Miracle Violence Connection are going to be difficult to beat. He notes what Dangerously said earlier that Steve Williams has not been pinned in four years in North America. But he is making his debut here on WCW Saturday Night. That means that no one has ever beaten him. He says that he is going to make that remain the same to Spring Stampede where he will be the man that will pin Dr. Death because when it comes to professional wrestling he is a Natural. He hands the microphone back to Schiavone, who sends us back to the ring for our next 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="CyAKqmU.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/CyAKqmU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Evio1RS.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Evio1RS.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="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tl7UI8u.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Tl7UI8u.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> 10 Minute Time Limit The Royal Family vs. The Samoan Swat Team [in a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, The Samoan Swat Team(Samu=C-, Fatu=D) defeated The Royal Family(D-) in 4:14 when Fatu defeated Jack Victory by pinfall with a Double diving headbutt.] Winners: The Samoan Swat Team (Via Pinfall @ 4:14) 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="usSdFJ9.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/usSdFJ9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="x5eAKSn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/x5eAKSn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [We are taken backstage to the office of WCW President Eric Bischoff.

Rhodes says that he is sure that Bischoff saw what happened last week when he wrestled Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight title. Rhodes says he got the pinfall over Flair but because of one thing that happened earlier in the bout he was robbed of the NWA World Heavyweight title. Therefore, he is asking Eric Bischoff, as a representative of the NWA Championship Committee, to grant him another World title match against Ric Flair at the earliest possible time. Bischoff replies that Flair is booked tomorrow night at WrestleWar as he will be stepping inside War Games. So what he can do is take this request to the rest of the Championship Committee. He says that he will convene with them this evening and have an answer tomorrow at WrestleWar for Rhodes. Rhodes says that is good enough and shakes hands with Bischoff.

The veteran Harley Race begins the match with the high flying Brian Pillman. Pillman immediately tries to speed up the opening minute of the bout with some high flying against Race. Race slows things down when he escapes the ring and begins talking with Chuck O'Connor outside the ring. Pillman bounces off the ropes and leaps over the top rope but O'Connor catches him and runs him back-first into the ring post. The action returns to the ring where Race and O'Connor take control of Flyin' Brian. O'Connor and Race make frequent tags, keeping a fresh man in the ring at all times as they wear down Pillman. Race catches Pillman with a German suplex but only scores a two count as he holds the bridge. Race body slams Pillman near the turnbuckle before climbing up to the top. Race prepares for the diving headbutt but Pillman rolls out of the way and Race crashes onto the mat instead. Both men crawl toward their corners to make the tags. Race tags in O'Connor just as Pillman tags in Lex Luger! Luger rushes in and knocks Race off the apron before attacking O'Connor with punches! O'Connor fires back with a headbutt, flooring Luger to the mat but only for a moment before Luger pops back up. Luger strikes O'Connor with a clothesline. A second clothesline knocks O'Connor back against the ropes. Luger grabs O'Connor and whips him to the opposite side -- O'Connor ducks a Luger clothesline and comes back with a body block on The Total Package. O'Connor picks up Luger and drops him with a body slam. O'Connor picks up Luger and Irish whips him into a corner but it happens to be Luger's corner! Brian Pillman tags himself in and goes after O'Connor with punches and clotheslines. O'Connor fires back with a headbutt and, within moments, O'Connor has Pillman locked in the Reverse Bearhug. Pillman struggles but has no choice but to submit, giving O'Connor some huge momentum as we move toward WrestleWar tomorrow night.] Winners: Harley Race and Chuck O'Connor (Via Submission @ 10:09) 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="4GcaPjd.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/4GcaPjd.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" /> [We go to the staging area where Tony Schiavone is standing by with Sting. The first thing Schiavone asks Sting is if he has been in touch with Terry Taylor and what Taylor's status is for War Games tomorrow night. Sting says that he has talked with Terry Taylor and that Taylor is suffering from a broken arm due to the attack by The Horsemen. He says that Taylor is out for War Games tomorrow night and he wishes Taylor the best of luck in his recovery. Sting says that this obviously means that they are down to a four on three disadvantage but there have been many times where he has been the underdog in a match and come out on top. He says that he is going to be looking for revenge in the name of Terry Taylor in this match and in the match tonight where he faces Sid Vicious. He asks Vicious just what he is going to do when he locks in that Scorpion Deathlock tonight and refuses to let go. He says that after tonight the sides just might be even again. Before he can wrap up the interview, the lights in the arena flicker and a voice begins to echo throughout the arena. The distorted voice of The Black Scorpion laughs and says that Sting might have other things to worry about than War Games tomorrow night. The voice says that next week The Black Scorpion will be in the building on WCW Saturday Night. The echoing voice tells Sting to remember April 11, 1987. Then the lights return to normal and the voice speaks no longer. Sting looks confused and Schiavone sends us up 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> [Teddy Long leads Doom out to the ring as Jim Ross reminds us that they will be deciding who they face at WrestleWar tonight. Long and the NWA World Tag Team Champions enter the ring and Long gets on the microphone. He tells the crowd here in New Jersey to take a look at these two men in the ring. He says that these two men are going to hold the NWA World Tag Team title belts for a long time. In fact, they will hold the belts until they decide to relinquish them. Long says that he knows that New Jersey is not used to seeing winners. After all, they're used to seeing guys like Derrick Coleman and Mookie Blaylock. But that doesn't matter right now. All that matters is finding out which team is going to lose to Doom at WrestleWar tomorrow night. Long says that whichever team wants a shot at the NWA World Tag Team champions should come out right now. Long and Doom wait to see just who they will be facing. The sound of a whip cracking can be heard in the background.] <img alt="PXWnY98.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/PXWnY98.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="AHfvPlE.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/AHfvPlE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [That whip cracking sounds the arrival of Bill Irwin and Black Bart, The Desperados! The two angry looking men begin walking toward the ring and step inside. Bill Irwin holds that whip and cracks it toward the two members of Doom, backing them off a little bit since no one wants to be struck by a whip. The Desperados are both wearing long trenchcoats. Bill Irwin's is brown and Black Bart's is, obviously, black. They step toward Doom and the two teams go nose-to-nose inside the ring. Teddy Long looks ready to make the match official for WrestleWar when Bill Irwin takes the microphone from him. Irwin says that the two of them did come out here for a NWA World Tag Team title opportunity but he has to say that he liked what Teddy Long had to say about the New Jersey Nets. He says that people up here in the north know nothing about sports. After all, there are people up here that are fans of hockey. Everyone knows that hockey isn't a real sport. It's figure skating with a puck. But, now, it's time for them to make the WrestleWar match official. He hands the microphone back to Long but Long is interrupted by two words appearing on the big video screen. Those two words are 'Soul Power.' Long looks confused in the ring until two men walk out from the back.] <img alt="E9JNTXT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/E9JNTXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="CAMdJ46.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/CAMdJ46.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [Those two men are Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas. The two men walk confidently toward the ring, high fiving the fans along the way. The two men step in the ring where Atlas is given a microphone. Atlas says that it feels good to be back here in a company that matters. He says that the NWA World Tag Team titles are obviously the top tag team titles in all the land. That means that Rocky Johnson and himself want to step up to the plate and bring some Soul Power to this company and to those titles. Atlas says that he knows that the champions are a couple of no-good dogs who shouldn't be allowed to represent this company and the prestige of the NWA. That means that Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas have to take the titles. Bill Irwin grabs a microphone and argues that they stepped into the ring first so they should be the team to challenge for the belts tomorrow night. He tells Teddy Long to make it official right now. Long is given the microphone and says that they have two good contenders to lose to Doom at WrestleWar. So here is what he is going to do. Right now, they are going to have an impromptu tag team match. The winners of this match fight Doom tomorrow night at WrestleWar. Now, let's get a referee out here and start the match.]</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="PXWnY98.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/PXWnY98.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="AHfvPlE.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/AHfvPlE.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="E9JNTXT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/E9JNTXT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="CAMdJ46.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/CAMdJ46.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> #1 Contenders Match The Desperados vs. Soul Power [in an extremely short match, Soul Power(Atlas=C, Johnson=D+) defeated Bill Irwin(D) and Black Bart(D) in 3:42 when Tony Atlas defeated Bill Irwin by submission.] Winners: Soul Power (Via Submission @ 3:42) 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="usSdFJ9.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/usSdFJ9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="srl1rLi.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/srl1rLi.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="UmEHgbp.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/UmEHgbp.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="g8CnE44.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/g8CnE44.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <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" /> <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" /> [Following a replay of the ending moments of the last match, we are taken to the staging area where Eric Bischoff is standing by.

Alexandra York leads the United States Tag Team champions out to the staging area first. The Steiner Brothers come next. Then Jesse Ventura leads The Destruction Crew to the staging area. Bischoff begins by saying that if there is any physical violence right now the teams involved will be suspended without pay and will not receive any title matches when they return. With that being said, he says that he has made a decision regarding the United States Tag Team titles match at WrestleWar. Alexandra York steps forward and tells Bischoff that she and the computer should make the selection on who should face her team. Bischoff shakes his head and says that the NWA Championship Committee has already made that decision. He says that at WrestleWar they are going to have the first ever three tag team elimination match. He says that two men will be in the ring and whichever team loses first will be sent to the back and the match will continue with the remaining two teams.

Vegas looks up and says that this is easy money. It's almost as easy as it's going to be when they come to WCW. An obviously drunk patron looks up and asks them if they are 'rasslers. Vegas replies that they are the best and that's something you can bet on. The drunk patron challenges them to a fight. He says to meet him outside the casino. The screen flashes black and then we have moved outside where the drunk patron is waiting on Vegas and The Diamond Studd. Vegas and Studd walk up and Studd flicks a toothpick into the face of the drunk man. The drunk man staggers backward and Studd floors him with a single punch. Vinnie Vegas walks over and picks the drunk man up on his shoulder. He walks toward the wall and tosses the drunk man like a lawn dart head-first into the wall. The drunk man falls to the ground, obviously knocked out at this point.

Schiavone congratulates The Fabulous Ones on a victory tonight. Then he introduces his guest at this time, Kevin Von Erich. Schiavone says that Von Erich has a big match coming up tomorrow night with Michael Hayes. He asks Von Erich his thoughts as we head to WrestleWar. Von Erich says that a couple of weeks ago he suffered a trauma to the head when Michael Hayes dropped him with the DDT on the chair. However, he is doing much better now. He says that there is a long history between his family and Michael Hayes. He reminds the fans that it began back when his brother was facing Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight title. Michael Hayes was the referee for the match and tried to cheat Ric Flair. However, his brother refused to win that way and The Freebirds cost his brother the title instead. This began the feud between the Von Erichs and The Freebirds. Von Erich says that the feud will never die until Michael Hayes is run out of professional wrestling because he's the leader of The Freebirds. Suddenly, Michael Hayes comes out from the back an this immediately sets off a brawl between the two wrestlers. Schiavone steps away from the scene as the two men exchange punches. Von Erich blocks a punch and then puts the Von Erich Iron Claw on Hayes! Hayes swings his arms, trying to fight the Iron Claw but Von Erich avoids the swinging arms. He forces Hayes down to his knees with the Iron Claw. With Hayes on his knees, Doug Dillinger comes in with the security force. They force Von Erich to release the Iron Claw and keep the two men separated.

Solie sends us to an interview with JYD. Junkyard Dog is shown standing in front of a blue and black background. JYD says that he saw what Big Van Vader did earlier tonight to Brad Armstrong. But, JYD, says that Vader is not going to be able to do that to him. He says that this match is going to be a lot different than their match at the Clash of the Champions. He says that Vader is not used to wearing a dog collar but this dog wears the collar all the time. He says that he is not afraid to use the dog chain to whip Vader. If Skandor Akbar decides to get involved, then, he's going to suffer the bite of the dog, as well. JYD says that at WrestleWar, he gets his revenge.

Jim Ross is a little bit surprised at the entrances because it's only the two wrestlers who are involved at the ring. No Horsemen, no Samoan Swat Team. The two men meet in the center of the ring and Sting goes right after Vicious with three straight forearm smashes to the chest. Vicious is staggered backward but then shoves Sting down to the mat. Sting pops right up and goes back after Vicious, catching him with a standing dropkick that sends Vicious through the ropes to the floor at ringside. Sting quickly heads to the top turnbuckle and then leaps with a diving axehandle to the top of Vicious's head! Sting releases a howl that is echoed by the crowd. He grabs Vicious and tosses him inside the ring, joining him inside. He grabs Vicious by the legs and looks like he's going for the Scorpion Deathlock early in this match. Instead, Vicious blocks it and shoves Sting back into the corner with his legs. Sting bounces out of the corner and grabs Vicious by the legs again, rolling into a jackknife cover: One, Two, Kickout! Sting gets back to his feet and picks up Vicious, Irish whipping him into the corner. Sting backs up and charges with the Stinger Splash but Vicious moves! The Stinger Splash attempt sends Sting careening over the turnbuckle, catching the ring post with his skull. Sting staggers back into the ring and Vicious picks him up, sending him to the mat with a body slam. The Four Horsemen member yanks up Sting and brings him over his knee with a backbreaker, dropping Sting to the mat. Vicious stomps on Sting and maintains control for several more minutes before he catches Sting with a big boot as Sting comes back off the ropes. Vicious makes a cover:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Kickout!] [The crowd goes wild as Sting kicks out from that Sid Vicious big boot. Moving forward to the ten minute mark, Vicious has been in control of Sting as the crowd does their best to get behind the Stinger and bring him back into the match. At this point, Vicious has recently had Sting outside the ring, choking him with the cable from one of the cameras. The action returned back inside the ring where Vicious has locked on a crossface on the mat. Sting struggles in the hold as the fans begin clapping and stomping their feet. The energy of the Stingers in the crowd begins to fill Sting with a second wind. Sting begins pushing his way toward his feet as Vicious tries to hold on to the crossface. Sting shifts slightly and brings Vicious to the mat with a belly-to-back suplex. Both men lie on the mat, obviously tired as the referee begins the ten count. The fans work their magic on Sting as he begins using the ropes to pull himself up. Vicious rises up to a knee and Sting goes after him with punches. Sting hits Vicious with a discus punch that knocks Vicious to the mat. Sting moves slowly, stepping out onto the apron and then climbing the turnbuckles. Sting looks down at Vicious and then leaps -- top rope splash by Sting! Sting hits the splash but rolls off as he clutches his ribs for a moment. This gives Vicious a moment to roll out of the ring to avoid getting pinned. Vicious lands on his feet, sucking in air as he staggers along at ringside. He grabs a chair and slides inside the ring. The referee tries to step in and tell Vicious not to use the chair. Vicious shoves the referee out of the way and swings the chair like a baseball bat, striking Sting with the chair! The referee immediately calls for the bell and a disqualification.] Winner: Sting (Via Disqualification @ 16:25) 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="y1JBQvR.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y1JBQvR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><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="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tl7UI8u.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Tl7UI8u.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [Sid Vicious just struck Sting with a chair as the rest of the Horsemen, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Barry Windham, come rushing toward the ring. Referee Nick Patrick moves in between Vicious and Sting. Patrick checks on Sting and then throws up a 'X' sign, keeping his body in between The Horsemen and Sting as it looks like Sting is seriously injured. EMTs come rushing toward the ring and they are followed by The Samoan Swat Team! The SST enter the ring and begin battling with The Horsemen in a four-on-two fight. Samu strikes Arn Anderson with a headbutt. Fatu hits Barry Windham with a clothesline. But it quickly becomes a numbers game as The Horsemen start to overwhelm The Samoan Swat Team. Arn Anderson drops Samu with a Double A Spinebuster. Barry Windham manages to get Fatu up on the top turnbuckle, bringing him to the mat with a Superplex! The Samoan Swat Team are laid out on the mat as The Four Horsemen stand side-by-side-by-side-by-side in the middle of the ring. They've taken Terry Taylor out of the match. Sting looks like he might be injured. Now The Samoan Swat Team are laid out in the center of the ring. What is going to happen to our War Games match? The Horsemen are in total control right now of WCW, especially with Ric Flair as the NWA World Heavyweight champion. All four members of The Horsemen throw up the four fingers into the air as they celebrate in the ring. Jim Ross and Pedro Morales thank everyone for tuning in to WCW Saturday Night. They remind everyone to watch WCW WrestleWar live on pay-per-view tomorrow night. We'll see you then!]</div></blockquote></div>

Looking over the free agent pool, I'll also go with Nikita Koloff as he's a big nasty heel you can bring in. So that's who I'm figuring this team is, Austin and Koloff. The Fabs - Pretty cool to see you using the Fabs really, though I look forward to when they have a run-in with Beautiful Bobby and Cornette. </div></blockquote> Hey Beejus! Thanks for the predictions and comments! Hulk Hogan is not injured or filming a movie or anything. He simply hasn't wrestled in the month of February at all. If WWF want to let him go, there might be a place for him with Eric Bischoff. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Your choice for Dangerous Alliance members were both definitely interesting. I could see both Austin and Koloff(both Nikita and Ivan) in the Dangerous Alliance. I am definitely building up a few heel stables here with The Dangerous Alliance, Devastation Inc., The Four Horsemen, Slaughterhouse, etc. I am enjoying using The Fabulous Ones. Stan Lane and Steve Keirn are two good hands who can definitely hold their own in the tag team division. Will they have a run-in with Jim Cornette, Bobby Eaton or Asian Nightmare?

<div style="text-align:center;">Wrestling Observer Newsletter WCW WrestleWar 1991 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>-WCW WrestleWar 1991 will be coming to you live from the Cow Palace in San Francisco, California. This show will feature a main event of War Games, The Match Beyond. The War Games match itself has seen several changes within the last twenty four hours. The Four Horsemen, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Barry Windham and Sid Vicious, remain on one side of the match. On the other side of the match, we have seen two wrestlers go down with injuries in the last twenty four hours. As those who have watched WCW Saturday Night know, a video was played showcasing The Horsemen assaulting Terry Taylor and breaking his arm in the process. This assault has taken Taylor out of the match. Then there was the main event match between Sid Vicious and Sting. The ending of that match saw Vicious strike Sting with a chair. This strike caused a real injury to the man called Sting, giving him a depressed zygomatic fracture. He is said to be out nearly three months due to this chair shot, meaning that he will not be able to participate in War Games. We are now left with the question of who will team with The Samoan Swat Team in this match or will they be forced to battle four on two inside the War Games cage? Make sure to tune in to Turner Premier to find out. -Last night we saw the WCW debut of a veteran tag team that has won tag team titles in other promotions when Soul Power answered the challenge of Doom. The team of Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas defeated The Desperados to earn this NWA World Tag Team titles match. The team of Doom has been absolutely dominant since winning the NWA World Tag Team titles, beating The Southern Boys, The Killer Bees and more tag teams recently. The Godfather Teddy Long has been leading them to more and more victories, which led to them making this open challenge for WrestleWar. Both teams will be fighting hard for these belts. But only one team can walk away as the champions. -Another big match coming up at WrestleWar features two of the heaviest and hardest hitting wrestlers in the company when Big Van Vader steps into the ring with Junkyard Dog in a dangerous Dog Collar match. This feud began at the beginning of the year when Vader interrupted a speech given by JYD and simply attacked him, leaving the Dog laying. The two met in one on one action at the Clash of the Champions where Vader connected with a Vadersault and scored a big victory over JYD. Following this, it was announced that Big Van Vader joined forces with Skandor Akbar and Devastation Inc. Akbar was quick to accept the challenge when Junkyard Dog challenged Vader to a rematch at WrestleWar. But this time the match will take place in Junkyard Dog's specialty match: a Dog Collar match. Both men will be joined together with a chain and spiked dog collars. The only ways to win are by pinfall or knockout. Only one of these men will survive this dangerous match. Make sure you tune in and find out who. -The NWA United States Tag Team titles will be on the line at WrestleWar 1991 in a very unique match. The champions, The Southern Rockers will be taking on not one team but two teams in a special elimination match. The other two teams are the former United States Tag Team champions The Steiner Brothers and Jesse Ventura's Destruction Crew. The Southern Rockers won the titles on an episode of WCW Saturday Night from The Steiner Brothers after the use of Alexandra York's laptop. Meanwhile, The Destruction Crew has been attacking The Steiner Brothers in hopes of securing a United States Tag Team titles shot. Obviously, this all changed when The Southern Rockers won the titles. With three teams ready to explode, NWA Championship Committee head and WCW President Eric Bischoff made this match so that an official winner can be declared between the three teams. Only two wrestlers will be in the ring at a time but once one wrestler is pinned, submitted, disqualified or counted out, that team will be eliminated and it will be brought down to a tag team match. Only one team will walk away with the United States Tag Team titles. -Last month, the WCW World Six Man Tag Team titles were announced and a tournament was set up to determine the first champions. This tournament begins right here at WrestleWar when you will see the team of Bobby Eaton and Asian Nightmare take on Z-Man and two mystery partners. We haven't heard any word or rumor on who Z-Man's partners are going to be. There can only be some speculation there on who Z-Man's partners are going to be. Will it be someone from another promotion or someone already on the roster? Make sure you tune in to find out just who those mystery partners are and if they can help Z-Man defeat Jim Cornette's team. -The opening match for WCW WrestleWar 1991 will be the wrestler known as The Total Package Lex Luger defending the NWA United States title against Chuck O'Connor. When O'Connor made his debut last month, he was approached by Harley Race. Race looked to help take O'Connor under his wing and had him in his corner when Race took on Luger for the United States title. Race lost that match but O'Connor has been assaulting Luger ever since. O'Connor and Race kept Luger from defending against Brian Pillman once and then when they finally had the match Race and O'Connor interrupted it and caused a no contest. O'Connor and Race scored a tag team victory twenty four hours ago and now O'Connor has a chance to leave WrestleWar 1991 as the United States champion. -Plus we will hear an answer from Eric Bischoff on whether or not Dusty Rhodes gets another World title shot, Paul E. Dangerously introduces another member of The Dangerous Alliance, Freebird Michael Hayes takes on Kevin Von Erich and more surprises on a live pay-per-view event. Make sure you tune in live on pay-per-view!</div></blockquote></div> Prediction Listing NWA United States Title Match 25 Minute Time Limit Lex Luger defends vs. Chuck O'Connor Comments: WCW World Six Man Tag Team Title Tournament, Round 1 20 Minute Time Limit Asian Nightmare and Bobby Eaton vs. Z-Man, ??? and ???

Beejus · August 14, 2018

That's a tough break with Sting going down for three months. Taylor not quite so much, but it's still not good as you were pushing him very well.

Lex Luger - Lex picks up a big win to keep the US title around his waist.

Z-Man and ?? - I suspect a full on White Meat Babyface team here.

Michael Hayes - PS does some Pretty Shady things to score a win.

Southern Rockers - Steiners vs. Crew doesn't really need these titles involved.

Vader - Not a chance for the Dog here.

Doom - So much doom.

Four Horsemen - I'm thinking Dusty and Dustin step in to replace Sting and Taylor.

Thanks for the predictions and comments. Since most of these are focused on the Sting injury, I just thought I would group them together here. The Sting injury is definitely a huge curveball thrown into my plans as I move forward. I don't think that it's too much of a spoiler to say that I had originally planned on Sting regaining the NWA World Heavyweight title sooner rather than later. Those plans have obviously changed since the injury. To give a little more OOC background as we move forward, the Terry Taylor injury is kayfabe. I wanted to remove him from the War Games match, not knowing that Sting was going to get hurt on the same show and leave me down two wrestlers instead of one. I can, also, say that there is something huge that happens at WrestleWar that will change my plans even further. More on that following the posting of the show. Not sure when the show will be posted but I am thinking that I will be posting it in two parts. One of them will be the main show and the second one will be the War Games match as I believe that deserves a big writeup all on it's own. Thank you for your patience and I hope y'all are enjoying this so far. Predictions are still open for the show and, as always, I enjoy each and every comment that comes my way on either diary.

The limousine stops in front of the building and the driver gets out. He walks down to the back and opens the door. Out from the limousine come each member of The Four Horsemen. Ric Flair is first, followed by Arn Anderson, Barry Windham and Sid Vicious. Each of them are dressed in suits that fit them perfectly, even Sid Vicious. All four men look confident and why wouldn't they? They have taken out two members of the opposing team for War Games and only have The Samoan Swat Team left. The Nature Boy has the NWA World Heavyweight title belt around his waist and sunglasses over his eyes. Flair looks toward the camera, smiles and says that it's hard to be humble when you're the best. He releases a Whooo. He gives a little strut before he walks toward the entrance of the Cow Palace. The driver rushes ahead and opens the door and we watch as The Four Horsemen enter the building. We will see those four men in War Games tonight.

The match begins with the two men meeting in the center of the ring. Luger tries to shove O'Connor backward but O'Connor just stares at him. The larger man shoves Luger and Luger goes flying backward into a corner. O'Connor moves in and begins throwing punches to The Total Package. O'Connor goes to whip Luger to the opposite side but Luger reverses things and O'Connor crashes into the corner. Luger bounces off the ropes and nails O'Connor with a big forearm smash that sends O'Connor through the ropes to the outside. Luger plays to the crowd and they cheer for him as he stands tall in the ring. O'Connor speaks with Harley Race outside the ring before returning inside. The two men lock up and things move a little slowly for the opening five minutes between these two. O'Connor takes control and begins focusing on the back of Luger. He places Luger over his knee with a backbreaker, looking for a submission but Luger refuses to give up and lose his title. As the match moves forward, the crowd tries to get behind Luger, trying to will him to make a second wind. This doesn't happen for now as O'Connor sends Luger to the mat with a body slam and then bounces off the ropes, hitting a running splash. O'Connor makes the cover, hooking the leg:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Shoulder Up!] [The crowd cheers when Lex Luger gets his shoulder up. O'Connor looks frustrated and a little winded as the match moves past the ten minute mark. O'Connor picks up Luger and sends him into a corner. He tries to follow in with an avalanche but Luger gets his feet up! O'Connor crashes into Luger's boot! The crowd cheers as Luger rushes and hits O'Connor with a clothesline! A second clothesline! A third one knocks O'Connor backward and gets him tied up in the ropes! Tony Schiavone says that he thinks Luger might have been playing possum and getting O'Connor tired. Luger throws some massive punches to O'Connor while he's tied up in the ropes. Harley Race steps over and helps get O'Connor freed from the ropes. Luger makes the symbol for the Human Torture Rack! Can he get O'Connor up in the hold? Especially while his back is hurt from O'Connor's focus on it? Luger grabs O'Connor and starts to lift him up but he's unable to hold O'Connor up and crashes onto his chest with O'Connor down on his back. Luger winces, seemingly in a lot of pain as he clutches at his chest. O'Connor slowly gets to his feet and stomps on Luger's back. Harley Race climbs on the apron, getting the referee's attention. With the referee distracted, O'Connor slides out of the ring and grabs a chair, sliding back in. He brings the chair down on Luger's back with a hard crash sound. O'Connor slides the chair away and makes the cover as Race drops down and the referee turns around:] [....1.... ....2.... ....3!] Winner: Chuck O'Connor (Via Pinfall @ 16:34) 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="Ugwzw4P.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Ugwzw4P.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" /><img alt="jaLqOnn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/jaLqOnn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [With a new United States champion celebrating in the ring, we are taken to a backstage area where Gordon Solie is standing by with Jesse Ventura and The Destruction Crew. Solie says that he is there with those three men and that tonight they have the opportunity to win the United States Tag Team titles. Solie asks Ventura about their strategy in the first-ever triple threat tag team match. Ventura sneers at Solie and says that there is no strategy in a match that has never been done before. He says that his Destruction Crew were put in a situation they never should have been in. He says that Eric Bischoff and the championship committee screwed them because they should have gotten a straight tag team match against The Southern Rockers for those belts. But it doesn't matter. He tells Solie to take a good look at these two men behind him. He says that Mike Enos and Wayne Bloom are two men that are going to lay destruction on each and every tag team in this company. He says that they have two of the most beautiful bodies in professional wrestling. He reminds everyone that he is always the baddest man on the planet and he has the brains and the physical acumen to lead this team to victory and that's exactly what's going to happen tonight. He says that when everything is said and done, these two men are going to be your new United States tag team champions. With that, Solie sends us back to ringside.]</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="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" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="A6HYrj1.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/A6HYrj1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [At ringside, the crowd boos as Jim Cornette leads out Asian Nightmare and the NWA World Television champion Bobby Eaton. Cornette and his men enter the ring where Cornette is given a microphone. Cornette reminds everyone that the Cornette family name is one of the most revered names in professional wrestling. He says that he is the manager of champions and that he is proving that right now by the fact that Bobby Eaton is your Television champion. But tonight is going to be the start of something else. It's going to be the start of his group walking out of Spring Stampede as the NWA World Six Man Tag Team champions. It doesn't matter who Z-Man has as his partner. Hey, he had no clue that Z-Man even had any friends. He asked his momma to predict who Z-Man's partners would be and the only thing she could come up with is his mother, because mothers always love their sons, and his grandmother for the same reason. So, Z-Man come on down and bring your family to lose to Asian Nightmare and Beautiful Bobby. Z-Man walks out from the back and stands at the top of the stage. He says that tonight is going to be a wild night because there's going to be a blast from the past here. He says he has two men that are ready to fight and ready to hold gold. Z-Man makes a motion and two men walk out from the back. It's Rick Martel and Tito Santana! Martel and Santana move side-by-side with Z-Man and then the three men rush the ring, clearing it of Cornette and his group. The fans are absolutely shocked but happy as two former WWF stars are in the building and ready to team with Z-Man.]</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="k1d13or.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/k1d13or.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="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" /><img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="A6HYrj1.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/A6HYrj1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="4LPyU0y.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/4LPyU0y.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="35QfuAP.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/35QfuAP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> WCW World Six Man Tag Team Title Tournament, Round 1 20 Minute Time Limit Asian Nightmare and Bobby Eaton vs. Z-Man, Rick Martel and Tito Santana [What a huge six man tag team match here to kick off the tournament. Rick Martel starts things off with Akio Sato and the two men definitely show off some wrestling chops as they go back and forth inside the ring with neither man gaining a decent advantage until Martel catches Sato with a vertical suplex. Martel tags in Tito Santana and Santana gets Sato in a side headlock and brings him to the mat, scoring a quick two count before Sato fights out and goes to the eyes of Santana. He drags him over into Sato's corner and Sato tags in Pat Tanaka. Tanaka fires off chops to Santana before dropping him with a headbutt. With the urging of Jim Cornette, his team use quick and frequent tags to keep a fresh man in the ring. Asian Nightmare shows some double team prowess, including a move where Tanaka holds Santana like a bridge between himself and the ropes and Sato leaps over him, crashing onto the back of Santana. That move earns a two count before Z-Man breaks it up. The match turns when Eaton goes for an Alabama Jam to finish the match but Santana rolls out of the way and Eaton crashes on the mat. Santana crawls over and tags in Z-Man as Eaton tags in Sato! Z-Man comes in like a house on fire, attacking everything that moves. He catches Sato with a Savate Kick and then moves in but Eaton tags himself back in. Eaton comes in and lays into Z-Man with a left hand punch.

In this backstage area, we see the former NWA United States champion Lex Luger. Luger is getting his chest looked at by trainers backstage and then is given a mysterious note. He looks at the note briefly before he gets off the trainer's table and walks away. The cameras follow him as he walks down a hallway and then knocks on a door. After a moment, he opens the door and steps inside, closing the door behind himself. We are unable to hear what goes on inside that room. However, we do see to who the room belongs. That man is none other than Eric Bischoff! The three man announce team of Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Pedro Morales speculate as to what Eric Bischoff might want with Lex Luger. Could it have something to do with tonight's War Games match? Though, JR says it shouldn't since Luger has already wrestled a match. He has, however, learned that Luger suffered an injury during the match with O'Connor. They are calling it costochondritis. It's a chest wall pain that is generally not life-threatening. With that, we go back to the ring for our third 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="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="6johobi.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/6johobi.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> 20 Minute Time Limit Michael Hayes vs. Kevin Von Erich [Our next match is definitely a grudge match as The Lone Freebird Michael Hayes steps in the ring with one of his biggest rivals: Kevin Von Erich. At the beginning of the match, the two men jaw in the center of the ring before Hayes slaps the taste out of Von Erich's mouth! Von Erich responds by going for the Iron Claw in the first thirty seconds! Hayes quickly breaks free and exits the ring, knowing that he came within inches of losing this bout quickly. Hayes returns inside the ring and Von Erich takes control, focusing in on an armbar on the Freebird. Hayes pulls himself up and grabs Von Erich by the hair, dragging him back into the corner. Referee Mike Atkins asks for a clean break but Hayes declines with a poke to the eye of Von Erich. Hayes takes control over Von Erich and tosses Von Erich out of the ring. Hayes joins him outside the ring and stomps on Von Erich before using the cable from one of the cameras to choke his rival. Hayes releases after a few moments and Von Erich grabs at his throat, staggering away from Hayes. Von Erich slides inside the ring and Hayes meets him there. Hayes trips up Von Erich and drops an elbow, making a cover and scoring a two count. Hayes maintains control until the eight minute mark when Von Erich fights free of a rear chinlock with a belly-to-back suplex. Von Erich starts to get control of the match, bringing Hayes over with a vertical suplex and then a second one in a row! Von Erich steps back and waits for Hayes to get to his feet. He goes for a discus punch but Hayes pulls referee Mike Atkins in the way and Von Erich catches Atkins with the punch instead. Von Erich looks upset at hitting the referee and Hayes catches him with a kick below the belt. Hayes reaches into his trunks and pulls out a pair of brass knuckles. Hayes strikes Von Erich with the knucks before putting them away. Hayes wakes up the referee and makes the cover: One, Two, Three!] Winner: Michael Hayes (Via Pinfall @ 10:31) 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="usSdFJ9.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/usSdFJ9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="x5eAKSn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/x5eAKSn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [Following an instant replay of what happened, we are taken back to the office of Eric Bischoff. This time we are actually taken inside the office where Bischoff is having a meeting with Dusty Rhodes. Bischoff thanks the cameraman for coming inside and then turns his attention to the American Dream. He tells the Dream that he took Dream's request to the NWA Championship Committee. They listened to what he had to say and they all agreed that he deserves another shot at the title. However, there is one more step he has to take before he can earn that shot. Bischoff says that this Saturday on WCW Saturday Night Dusty Rhodes is going to step in the ring with an opponent in a number one contender's match. The winner of that match will go on to Spring Stampede and challenge for the NWA World Heavyweight title. Rhodes agrees to that but asks who his opponent is going to be. Bischoff says that will be determined tonight inside War Games. He says that whoever the person is that makes his opponent submit or surrender will be the opponent for the Dream in the number one contender's match. In a voiceover on commentary Jim Ross says that this makes War Games have even more meaning tonight. Rhodes shakes hands with Bischoff and says he has one more thing to talk about in private. Bischoff dismisses the cameraman and we go back to the ring for our next contest.]</div></blockquote> Match #4 <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="UmEHgbp.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/UmEHgbp.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="g8CnE44.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/g8CnE44.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Vwkbcd7.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Vwkbcd7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> <img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <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" /> <img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.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" /><img alt="NYpP7Zt.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/NYpP7Zt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> NWA United States Tag Team Titles Match 30 Minute Time Limit The Southern Rockers defend vs. The Steiner Brothers vs. The Destruction Crew [Our fourth match features three tag teams fighting for the right to call themselves the NWA United States Tag Team champions. Following a coin flip backstage, it's Scott Steiner and Steven Doll that begin the match. Scott starts strong against Doll, hitting an early Steinerline and then a belly-to-belly suplex that sends Doll flying. Scott tags in his brother Rick, who goes around the ring barking before striking Doll with a Steinerline of his own. Rick picks up Doll and places him on his shoulders but Doll drops down behind Rick and shoves him chest-first into a corner. Doll tags in Mike Enos and it's the first time that we see a shift of teams in the ring. Enos comes in and catches Rick Steiner with a big boot. He picks up Rick and brings him down with a body slam before tagging in Wayne Bloom. Bloom comes in and the two double team Rick with a double gutbuster before Bloom makes the cover but Scott Steiner breaks up the pinfall quickly. Scott exits the ring and Bloom picks up Rick. Bloom sends Rick into the one neutral corner but Rick bounces out and catches Bloom with a Steinerline. Rick drops to his knees and then begins crawling toward his brother. Bloom crawls toward The Southern Rockers but they both drop down off the apron, avoiding being tagged in. Scott Steiner is tagged in and he goes right after Wayne Bloom, throwing punches and catches Bloom with a Steiner Screwdriver! Scott motions to his brother and Rick heads to the top turnbuckle. Scott lifts Bloom on his shoulders and Timothy King tags himself in. Rick hits the top rope bulldog/Steinerizer on Bloom! Steven Doll comes in and tosses both Steiners out of the ring as Timothy King covers Bloom: One, Two, Three! The Destruction Crew is eliminated!] [This leaves The Southern Rockers against The Steiner Brothers for the NWA United States Tag Team titles. Jesse Ventura is very upset with his Destruction Crew, chastising them all the way to the back. Back in the ring, all four members of the two teams are battling inside and outside the ring. In the ring, Rick Steiner locks Timothy King in a single leg Boston crab! King refuses to submit, however! He struggles and fights for the ropes but Rick fights back, as well, trying to keep King from reaching the ropes. King does finally manage to reach the ropes to break the hold. Rick makes a motion to his brother, who has returned to the ring apron. He picks up King and lifts him up on his shoulders! Scott heads to the top turnbuckle just as Michael Wallstreet comes running toward the ring from the back. Alexandra York climbs on the apron to get the referee's attention and in comes Michael Wallstreet with a laptop! Wallstreet breaks the laptop over Rick Steiner's back, causing him to drop King. Scott leaps off the top turnbuckle with a flying cross body to Michael Wallstreet! King crawls over and tags in Steven Doll. Doll quickly enters the ring, ducking a Steinerline from Scott Steiner and sending him over the top rope with a back body drop! Doll picks up Rick Steiner and bounces off the ropes, catching him with a flying double forearm smash! Doll makes the cover: One, Two, Three! The Southern Rockers retain the NWA United States Tag Team titles!] Winners: The Southern Rockers (Via Elimination @ 11:51) 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="4GcaPjd.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/4GcaPjd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="XkTo8zu.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/XkTo8zu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="D2MBQs4.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/D2MBQs4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2aFcRN0.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/2aFcRN0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="LUpDm9F.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/LUpDm9F.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [At the staging area, Tony Schiavone says that he hopes that everyone is enjoying WrestleWar 1991 so far. Then he introduces his guests at this time none other than The Dangerous Alliance! Paul E. Dangerously leads The Miracle Violence Connection and a new member of the Alliance: Larry Zbyszko! The four men stand at the staging area where Tony mentions the newest member of the Dangerous Alliance and the microphone is grabbed by Zbyszko. Zbyszko says that when he was asked to become a member of the Dangerous Alliance he was very proud to be selected by the greatest manager in the history of professional wrestling. He took a good look at the two men that were already selected in Steve Williams and Terry Gordy and he knew that this group was already destined for greatness. He says that greatness is exactly what he exudes and he is going to prove that each and every time he steps in the ring representing The Dangerous Alliance. That especially means the moment at Spring Stampede when he gets his arm raised as a survivor against whoever Missy Hyatt selects on her team. Dustin Rhodes? He has some of the worst family genes in the business. Zbyszko says that he almost feels sorry for young Dustin when he thinks about what they are going to do to him. Then, nah. He just looks forward to doing it. He hands the microphone over to Paul E. Dangerously. Dangerously says that he already has the best cast of professional wrestlers in the business today. He has the best tag team in the world and the best technical wrestler right here in the Living Legend. But that leaves only one more man to be revealed. Dangerously says that he is going to reveal that final man on the very first episode of WCW Monday Nitro at the beginning of March. He tells everyone to tune in because they are going to like what they see. He tells Missy Hyatt that she is going to rue the day she got one over on him. Dangerously exits stage left with the Dangerous Alliance and Schiavone sends us to a video focusing on our next match.]</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="loSyzSq.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/loSyzSq.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:right;"></div> [The video begins at the beginning of the year when Junkyard Dog walks out to the ring to talk about his stay here in WCW.

At the Clash of the Champions, the two men engage in what can only be described as a hard-hitting contest. The match lasts less than ten minutes and only ends when Vader catches JYD with a Vadersault! After that, Big Van Vader joined with Skandor Akbar and Devastation Incorporated. But the two men were not done with each other. JYD challenged Vader to meet him at WrestleWar in a Dog Collar match! This is definitely the Junkyard Dog's specialty match.

Each wrestler will be wearing a dog collar that the chain is hooked up to and the match can only end via pinfall, submission or knockout. Big Van Vader is escorted down to the ring by the General Skandor Akbar, leader of Devastation, Inc. Once the two men are hooked to each other, the fight is on! The two men meet in the center of the ring, throwing punches to the head and body blows! Both men strike hard and fast. JYD catches Vader with a headbutt! A second one! JYD wraps the chain around his fist and begins throwing punches, finally knocking Vader back into a corner! JYD climbs up and begins raining chained fist punches down as the crowd counts along! He reaches ten before dropping down and knocking Vader through the ropes with another headbutt. JYD stays in the ring until he gets violently yanked through the ropes by Vader and the chain. Vader grabs JYD and shoves him backward into the steel ring post. He charges in and catches him with an avalanche up against the ring post. Vader yanks up JYD and brings him down with a body slam on the mats outside the ring. He places his boot on JYD's throat, knowing that he cannot be disqualified. But the referee still tries to get him to stop. Vader yanks JYD up and begins choking him with the chain. JYD struggles in the fight but seems to be slowly passing out. After about a minute, Vader releases and throws JYD back inside the ring. He joins JYD and heads to the top turnbuckle. He measures JYD and then goes for the Vadersault but JYD rolls out of the way! Vader crashes hard on the mat and both men are stuck down nearing ten minutes in.] [both men slowly get to their feet and they meet in the center of the ring, throwing punches. Big Van Vader strikes with hard forearm smashes to Junkyard Dog. Vader kicks JYD in the gut and then brings him over with a gutwrench suplex. He yanks JYD back up and catches him with some punches but JYD strikes back with a headbutt! With Vader throwing punches, JYD strikes back with headbutts. Both men are absolutely staggered at this point in time. They are both giving it their all to pick up the victory. JYD starts to get control and shows his strength when he picks up Vader and brings him down with a huge body slam! JYD calls for The Thump! Can he actually get Vader up and on his shoulder? The announcers wonder whether that's even possible. As JYD prepares to go after Vader, Skandor Akbar climbs onto the ring apron! JYD sees him standing there and walks over, telling him to get down. The two men begin arguing and Vader pulls himself up. Vader moves over and grabs the arms of JYD! Akbar reaches down and a flame fills the space between the wrestlers!

With Soul Power's entrance, we are shown their WCW debut last night when they faced off with The Desperados to determine who would face Doom tonight. They picked up the victory and now we're here at WrestleWar to see those two teams facing off. The match begins rather slow with neither team wanting to make a mistake in the opening few minutes. This means a few restholds like an armbar and a hammerlock on either side. Doom is the first team to truly take control of the match. Butch Reed catches Rocky Johnson with a body slam and then a swift stomp to the head. Reed tags in Ron Simmons and the two of them send Johnson to the ropes, nailing him with a double shoulder block. Simmons lifts Johnson up and shoves him back into the turnbuckle before running his shoulder against the solar plexus again and again. He pulls Johnson out and lifts him up, hitting a delayed vertical suplex. Johnson is down and hard on the mat and Simmons makes the cover but it's quickly broken up by Mr. U.S.A. Tony Atlas. Simmons gets back up and shoves Atlas but the referee steps in, telling Atlas to get back into his corner. With the referee distracted, Butch Reed enters the ring and begins a double team with Ron Simmons. They knock Johnson back into the corner and begin throwing punches and kicks, beating Johnson all the way down to the mat. Reed stays in the ring as the new legal man and picks up Johnson. He sends Johnson to the ropes and catches him with a powerslam. He makes the cover, hooking the leg:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Kickout!] [The crowd cheers when Rocky Johnson kicks out of the pinfall attempt by Butch Reed. As we move toward the eleven minute mark, Johnson has managed to slip free from a body slam attempt by Reed. He takes Reed over with a release German suplex and both men are laying down on the mat. The crowd gets behind the Soulman as he crawls toward Mr. U.S.A. and Reed crawls toward Simmons. Reed tags in Simmons but Johnson tags in Atlas! Tony Atlas rushes in, taking Simmons down with a clothesline. He knocks Reed off the apron with a solid punch. He turns back to Simmons and picks him up, dropping him with a press slam! He picks up Simmons and locks on a sleeperhold! Atlas holds it in tight, trying to obtain a submission or knockout on this night. As Simmons starts to fade, Butch Reed climbs into the ring and attacks Atlas from behind with a double sledge to the back. Atlas releases the hold and turns toward Reed, knocking him backward with a hard chop. Rocky Johnson comes flying off the top turnbuckle with a cross body block on Ron Simmons! Atlas turns his attention back to the legal man and picks up Simmons -- Samoan Drop! Simmons lands hard on the mat.

This all begins when Ric Flair defeated Sting for the NWA World Heavyweight title on the first ever live edition of WCW Saturday Night. Following that victory, we move ahead to Clash of the Champions where Flair defends the title against Terry Taylor. That match goes to a time limit draw. Then it is announced that The Four Horsemen will be on one side of the War Games match against a team led by former NWA World Heavyweight champion Sting! Sting announces early on that Terry Taylor will join him for the War Games match. On the first Saturday night in February, Sting and Taylor re-introduce The Samoan Swat Team to WCW and announce that they will be the final two members of Sting's team. So we have our match set or so we thought. The WCW Saturday Night before WrestleWar changed nearly everything with our War Games match. The Four Horsemen play a video showing an attack on Terry Taylor at a gas station. The Horsemen use a baseball bat to break the arm of Taylor putting him out of the match and making Sting's team down by one man. Then, during the main event contest, Sid Vicious struck Sting with a steel chair across the face, injuring him. Now, Sting is, also, out of the War Games match due to injury. This leaves only The Samoan Swat Team on one side against the four members of The Four Horsemen. Earlier tonight, Ric Flair made the announcement that if any of the Horsemen submit or surrender, they will be surrendering their spot in The Horsemen. Now, it's time for War Games: The Match Beyond.]</div><div style="text-align:right;"></div><div></div></blockquote> Match #7 <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="W8aeOjk.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/W8aeOjk.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="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> [The War Games cage has been lowered down and the rules are given by the ring announcer. One person from each team will start for a five minute period. During this five minute period, a coin flip will occur in the back to determine which side gets the one man advantage. Then each period will be two minutes until all eight men are in the ring. That is when The Match Beyond begins. When all eight men are in the ring, the match can only end by submission or surrender. The match cannot end until all eight men are in the ring. The announcement of the first wrestlers to come out begins with the arrival of Arn Anderson. The Enforcer holds up four fingers as he walks toward the ring, saying that this is going to be an easy night for The Horsemen. He checks out the cage and then enters inside, moving to the far end and relaxing against a corner. Once he has made his entrance, Samu comes out from the back. One half of The Samoan Swat Team doesn't bother wasting any time. He rushes down the aisle and moves inside the cage, ready for battle. The cage door closes and the first five minute period has begun.] [samu rushes across to where Arn Anderson is standing and strikes him with an immediate headbutt. Anderson staggers backward into a corner. The Enforcer fires back with a punch but then has to shake his hand as a punch to the head of Samu actually hurt him instead. Samu strikes Anderson with several punches and then brings him over with a suplex style throw, sending Anderson to the mat. Samu moves back to Anderson and begins throwing more punches in a corner. He Irish whips Anderson across and then charges but Anderson moves and Samu hits the corner. Samu staggers into a Spinebuster and Anderson gets to his knees, looking down at Samu. The announcers let everyone know that the coin flip has happened backstage and the Four Horsemen have won the coin toss. This means that they will have the one man advantage through War Games. In the ring, Anderson continues to battle with Samu during this five minute period. Anderson and Samu continue to battle back and forth until the countdown begins. The crowd counts along with the countdown until it reaches zero. It's time for the first one man advantage for the Four Horsemen. Here comes the next member of The Horsemen.] <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="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [it's Barry Windham! Windham rushes out from the back as Samu heads to the top turnbuckle in the second ring. Windham climbs into the first ring and Samu leaps...onto Windham! A top rope clothesline brings Windham down to the mat. Samu throws some punches and headbutts, knowing he has to do something to keep this handicap moment from getting to him. Arn Anderson climbs into the first ring and grabs Samu, holding his arms back. Windham pulls himself up and throws some punches to the chest and abdomen of Samu. Windham and Anderson lift Samu up and over with a double vertical suplex. Samu crashes to the mat and Anderson motions to Windham. Windham adjusts his glove and puts the Claw on Samu! Samu's eyes go wide and he begins pulling himself up despite the Claw! Samu grabs Windham's wrist but takes a kick to the ribs by Anderson. Windham releases the claw and The Horsemen kick Samu in the ribs. They go for another double vertical suplex but Samu blocks it and takes them both over in his own double vertical suplex! All three men lie on the mat, trying to catch their breath. It is during this moment that the countdown begins. The crowd counts down to zero and the buzzer sounds. Here he comes.] <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="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tl7UI8u.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Tl7UI8u.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [The second member of The Samoan Swat Team, Fatu! Fatu comes rushing from the back and opens the door, moving inside the ring. Fatu picks up Arn Anderson and brings him back to the mat with a body slam. Fatu grabs Barry Windham and sends him to the ropes -- big clothesline! Fatu moves back to his partner and helps Samu to his feet as the crowd actually goes wild for the Samoan Swat Team! Fatu goes to Anderson and Samu goes to Windham. They get them in opposite corners and climb up, raining headbutt after headbutt as the crowd counts along. They reach ten and then drop down, Irish whipping Anderson and Windham to run right into each other in the center of the ring. Anderson and Windham fall to the mat and The Samoan Swat Team members head to the top turnbuckles. They look at each other and Windham pops up, rushing Samu -- body slam off the top turnbuckle by Windham! Fatu leaps but Anderson gets his knees up and Fatu lands hard on the knees of The Enforcer. Windham rushes and catches Samu with a clothesline. Anderson gets to his feet and catches Fatu with an Anderson DDT. The Horsemen are definitely in control and when the buzzer sounds, they are going to get a third member and a three on two advantage. The commentators take this moment to discuss what's going to happen when the buzzer sounds next for The Samoan Swat Team. Anderson runs Samu head-first into the steel cage and Samu bounces off, falling to the mat as the countdown begins. The crowd counts down to zero and the buzzer sounds. Here comes the next member of The Four Horsemen.] <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="y1JBQvR.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y1JBQvR.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="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tl7UI8u.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Tl7UI8u.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [it's Ric Flair! Instead of rushing to the ring like everyone else did, Ric Flair takes his time walking down to the ring. He does a little strut as he reaches ringside before climbing the stairs and entering the cage. Barry Windham throws Fatu over into the second ring and it's a three-on-one beatdown of Samu in the first ring. Ric Flair goes for the knee, chop-blocking Samu in a move that would be illegal in the NFL. Flair drags the leg over the bottom rope and drops with a seated senton on the leg. Flair moves Samu to the middle of the ring and locks in the Figure Four Leglock! The crowd boos as Flair shifts things around and grabs the arms of Arn Anderson. Anderson gives him some leverage as Flair is looking to break Samu's leg. Barry Windham drops to his knees and begins punching Samu. Between the hits on the cage and the punches, Samu has been busted open! The first bit of blood has occured in this match. In the second ring, Fatu is coming to and realizing what is happening. Fatu pulls himself up and goes to the top turnbuckle. He looks down at Windham, who turns around and Fatu hits a flying cross body that catches both Windham and Anderson! Anderson had to release the help he was giving Flair on the Figure Four and Samu managed to reverse the pressure! It was quickly broken and the announcers start talking about that The Samoan Swat Team could use some help out there. All of the men are down in the ring right now as the audience begins the countdown. What is going to happen when that buzzer sounds? The buzzer sounds and...nobody comes out. It looks like the SST are on their own inside War Games. No, wait, someone is rushing down toward the ring.] <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="y1JBQvR.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y1JBQvR.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="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tl7UI8u.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Tl7UI8u.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="x5eAKSn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/x5eAKSn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ['The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes is coming to the ring! He must be a replacement for this team here at War Games! He is a veteran of War Games matches! He enters the ring and begins throwing Bionic Elbows all over the Horsemen members! Rhodes tosses Arn Anderson and then Barry Windham into the second ring! He helps The Samoan Swat Team members to their feet and motions to that second ring. They head over, leaving Rhodes and Ric Flair in the first ring. Rhodes walks toward Flair, who is begging off. Flair reaches the corner and when Rhodes comes in, he pokes him in the eye before turning him around in the corner. Flair hits Rhodes with a chop! A second chop! A third one and Rhodes staggers away from the corner. Flair reaches into his trunks and pulls out a pair of brass knuckles! He slides them on and waits for Rhodes to turn around. Flair throws a knucked punch but Rhodes ducks! He catches Flair with an atomic drop and Flair staggers forward right into the steel cage! Rhodes runs Flair against the three sides of the cage and Flair staggers on his feet before falling face-first on the mat. Ric Flair has been busted open! In the second ring, Arn Anderson has a crimson mask going on as he takes another headbutt from Fatu! Barry Windham gets the advantage on Samu and lifts him on the top turnbuckle. Windham climbs up and brings Samu over with a picture perfect Superplex! Fatu sees what happened and goes after WIndham but Windham catches him with a low blow. The crowd begins the countdown to the final member of The Four Horsemen entering the ring. The buzzer sounds and here comes the last member of one side.] <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="y1JBQvR.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y1JBQvR.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" /><img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tl7UI8u.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Tl7UI8u.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="x5eAKSn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/x5eAKSn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [Sid Vicious walks out from the back, yelling at the crowd as he moves toward the ring. Dusty Rhodes turns his attention to the oncoming Sid Vicious and a bloodied Ric Flair catches Rhodes with an uppercut to the lower half. Vicious enters the ring and stomps right on Rhodes' head. He picks up Dusty Rhodes and shows his power as he lifts The American Dream and tosses him like a lawn dart into the steel cage. Ric Flair still has his brass knuckles on and he begins going to town on the forehead of Rhodes, busting him wide open. Vicious and Flair are double teaming Rhodes in ring 1. In ring 2, Arn Anderson is back on his feet, wiping blood from his eyes. He catches Fatu with an Anderson Spinebuster. Barry Windham is on the second turnbuckle. He leaps toward Samu but Samu catches him with a clothesline to the gut that spins Windham in a 180 before he crashes to the mat. The brawl is absolutely on in both rings as the announcers talk about the fact that there's only one man left and we have no clue as to who that man might be. So far Dusty Rhodes has been a surprise but he is getting beat down in ring 1. Sid Vicious sets up Rhodes for a Power Bomb but Rhodes blocks! Rhodes catches Vicious with a deadly uppercut to the crotch! That is a definite way to stop the big man! Rhodes ducks another Ric Flair punch and brings him to the mat with a running bulldog. Rhodes takes the brass knuckles and begins punching Sid Vicious in the back with those knuckles! Arn Anderson climbs into ring 1 and attacks Rhodes with a double axehandle to the back. With Rhodes busted open, Anderson grabs Rhodes by the head and drags that wound across his boot before dropping The American Dream to the mat. The crowd begins the countdown. It is almost time for The Match Beyond. The final buzzer sounds and all of the attention turns to the ramp to see who is coming. For a long few moments, no one comes down the ramp. The announcer signals that The Match Beyond has begun since it seems like no one else is coming to the ring. Oh, but wait, someone does come from the back and he is absolutely running toward the ring.] <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="y1JBQvR.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/y1JBQvR.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" /> <img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tl7UI8u.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Tl7UI8u.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="x5eAKSn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/x5eAKSn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="eF4dGgn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/eF4dGgn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [That man is the former NWA United States champion, The Total Package Lex Luger! Luger is not coming alone, though! He has a steel chair in hand! There are no DQs in War Games! Luger looks a little worse for wear following what seemed like an injury earlier in the night against Chuck O'Connor. Luger climbs the stairs and enters inside the cage in ring 1. Arn Anderson moves over and Luger catches him with a chair shot to the head! Sid Vicious is on a knee and Luger catches him on the back with the chair! Ric Flair moves over and Luger catches him in the ribs with a chair shot and then another over the back. Flair cries out in pain, dropping to his knees. The crowd is absolutely right behind The Total Package as Barry Windham is the only man left that hasn't felt the chair. And that's only because Windham is in ring 2 with The Samoan Swat Team. At this point, everyone except Lex Luger is busted wide open. Luger strikes Flair with another chair shot and Flair goes down to the mat. The Samoan Swat Team seize the moment and climb to the top turnbuckles. They look down at Flair in ring 1 and then leap with a double flying headbutt but Samu's strikes Flair in the throat! Flair writhes in pain on the mat, grabbing his throat. He cannot even talk. All he can do is open and close his mouth as he writhes in pain. The attention turns elsewhere as Luger catches Sid Vicious with a 360 powerslam! The Total Package is in control of this match but his chair is down on the mat. Barry Windham enters ring 1 and grabs the chair, striking down both members of The Samoan Swat Team! Dusty Rhodes catches Windham with a spear, sending the chair flying. Arn Anderson is checking on Flair, calling for some type of help. In another part of the ring, Luger picks up Sid Vicious and locks him in the Human Torture Rack! Vicious is locked in tight on Luger's shoulders with the announcers reminding us about the attack by Rhodes on Vicious' back earlier in the night. After nearly two minutes in the Human Torture Rack, Vicious submits! Sid Vicious has submitted! He is out of The Four Horsemen!] Winners: The Samoan Swat Team, Dusty Rhodes and Lex Luger (Via Submission @ 34:08) 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="eF4dGgn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/eF4dGgn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="x5eAKSn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/x5eAKSn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="suVzqqH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/suVzqqH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Tl7UI8u.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Tl7UI8u.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 bell has sounded as Lex Luger drops Sid Vicious from The Human Torture Rack. EMTs and other officials enter the ring to check on everyone but especially on Ric Flair. The NWA World Heavyweight champion has been clutching at his throat since the double headbutt by The Samoan Swat Team. This victory means that we will see Lex Luger take on Dusty Rhodes this Saturday on WCW Saturday Night! The winner will face Ric Flair at Spring Stampede for the NWA World Heavyweight title! Luger and Rhodes shake hands but Luger doesn't let go. Instead, he looks Rhodes right in the eyes and those who can read lips can see that Luger is telling Dusty that he's coming for him this Saturday Night. Rhodes says that they just need to celebrate tonight and they will worry about Saturday night on Saturday night. The members of The Samoan Swat Team climb the turnbuckles inside the ring, celebrating. The fans cheer this victory for the good guys. What huge shockers tonight, including Luger pulling double duty despite an injury and Dusty Rhodes against The Four Horsemen inside War Games once more. Arn Anderson and Barry Windham are standing around Flair, checking on him and watching as a stretcher is brought inside the cage. Ric Flair seems to be seriously hurt and the announcers bring that up, wondering what this might mean for the NWA World Heavyweight title if Ric Flair is actually injured for a significant portion of time. Luger and Rhodes raise each others' arms in the ring and the credits begin to roll. Jim Ross tells everyone to make sure to tune in to the Power Hour for more information on what transpired here tonight. Tony Schiavone thanks everyone for watching and Pedro Morales says good night everyone! The credits finish rolling and fade to black.]</div></blockquote></div>

It shows highlights from WrestleWar, focusing in on the main event: War Games, The Match Beyond. During War Games, The Four Horsemen were set to face The Samoan Swat Team and mystery opponents. Those mystery wrestlers ended up being Dusty Rhodes and Lex Luger! Luger forced Sid Vicious to submit via the Human Torture Rack but it looks like Ric Flair suffered an injury following a double headbutt by The Samoan Swat Team. -At the announce booth, Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone welcome everyone to the Power Hour. They start to talk about tonight's main event when they are joined at the announce booth by WCW Executive Vice President Eric Bischoff. Bischoff makes the announcement that Ric Flair has undergone surgery for a class II fractured larynx and will be out of action indefinitely. This means he will be forced to relinquish the NWA World Heavyweight title and the match scheduled between Dusty Rhodes and Lex Luger on WCW Saturday Night will not be happening. Bischoff says there will be more information given on WCW Saturday Night about how the company will be moving forward. With that, JR sends us to the ring. -While Dustin Rhodes is making his entrance, an inset promo shows Paul E. Dangerously and Larry Zbyszko. In the inset promo, Dangerously says that he is not afraid of Dustin Rhodes. Why would he be when he has a guy like Larry Zbyszko on his team. The Living Legend says that Dustin will not live long enough to become a legend like his daddy. In fact, he challenges Dustin to face him tomorrow night on WCW Saturday Night. He warns Dustin that he will do to him what he did to another legend and break his neck. -In an extremely short match, Dustin Rhodes(C-) defeated Joe Malenko(D+) in 3:47 by pinfall with a Running Bulldog...C- -A video plays recapping the United States title match between Lex Luger and Chuck O'Connor from WrestleWar. O'Connor became the new NWA United States champion when he struck Luger with a steel chair. Harley Race distracted the official so that O'Connor could use the chair. It definitely seemed like Luger might be hurt during the match but he was able to recover enough to participate in War Games. -In an extremely short match, Bobby Eaton© defeated Mark Youngblood(D-) in 4:27 by pinfall with an Alabama Jam. Bobby Eaton makes defence number 3 of his NWA World Television title...C- -We go to an interview with Brian Pillman as he hypes his match tonight in the main event against Eddie Guerrero. Pillman says that he wrestles with a level of excellence and a high level of talent and he's going to show that tonight when he takes on Eddie Guerrero. He warns Guerrero that he is planning on running straight to the top of professional wrestling and that tonight is going to be just a small part of that run to the top. He says that when he comes flying with Air Pillman, Guerrero is going to go splat right on the mat for the three count. -In an extremely short match, The Hardliners(Murdoch-C, Slater-C-) defeated The Killer Bees(C-) in 3:57 when Dick Slater defeated B. Brian Blair by submission with a Figure Four Leglock...C- -We go to another interview segment where we have the tag team known as Los Gringos Locos. That is the team of Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr. Guerrero says to look at the two of them. He proclaims that they are the best Luchador tag team in the business today. It doesn't matter whether it's Mexico, The United States, Canada or Japan. He promises that the two of them are taking over professional wrestling and that begins tonight when he takes on Brian Pillman. Art Barr warns Pillman that he's going to be at ringside to make sure that no one takes the spotlight off Los Gringos Locos. He reminds everyone that they're the best and they're going to prove it right now. -In a decent match, Brian Pillman© defeated Eddie Guerrero© in 9:49 by pinfall with an Air Pillman...C+ -Brian Pillman has picked up the victory but he gets blasted from behind by Art Barr! The crowd boos as Barr picks up Pillman and brings him over with a vertical suplex. He helps Eddie Guerrero to his feet and the two of them double team Pillman. Eddie Guerrero hits Pillman with a triple vertical suplex as Barr climbs to the top turnbuckle. Barr looks down at Pillman and then leaps, catching Pillman with the frog splash! Los Gringos Locos have left Brian Pillman laying on the mat as the crowd boos. -We go back to the announce booth to close the show. Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone talk about the ramifications of WrestleWar, specifically the injury to Ric Flair. They wonder just what Eric Bischoff means about more information coming tomorrow night. They tell everyone to make sure to tune in tomorrow night to find out what is going to happen with the NWA World Heavyweight title. The show comes to a close as the credits roll.</div></div><div></div></blockquote></div>

This was a huge show that saw the crowning of a new NWA United States champion, Chuck O'Connor. It also saw an injury to the NWA World Heavyweight champion Ric Flair. Last night on The Power Hour, Eric Bischoff announced that Ric Flair will be out indefinitely and will have to relinquish the NWA World Heavyweight title. He promised more information this evening on WCW Saturday Night. A lot of speculation has been coming as to what announcements Bischoff will make but the only way to find out for sure is to tune in to the SuperStation. -One of our big matches of the night will see two teams who did not fare so well at WrestleWar. We are going to see Jim Cornette lead out Asian Nightmare against the former NWA United States Tag Team champions The Steiner Brothers! Both of these teams lost at WrestleWar so both will be looking to regain some momentum as we move ahead toward Spring Stampede. Only one team can regain that momentum so make sure you tune in to find out which team walks away with the victory. -We have learned that the remaining members of The Four Horsemen will be making an announcement as to the future of The Horsemen. We have Ric Flair out with injury, Sid Vicious out of The Horsemen due to his submitting at War Games. This leaves only Arn Anderson and Barry Windham as the remaining two active members. The fans can only speculate as to what this announcement will be. Make sure to tune in and find out. -Last week, we learned that The Black Scorpion will be showing up live on WCW Saturday Night this week. With Sting injured last week, a lot of people are unsure of exactly what will happen with The Black Scorpion as he seems to be focused on Sting, himself. He will still be appearing live here in The Ice Palace. What he will have to say can only be up to speculation until he comes out to the ring. -Our first hour main event should be a good one. On The Power Hour, Larry Zbyszko issued a challenge to Dustin Rhodes. We have learned that The Natural has accepted that challenge and these two men will go one on one. Rhodes will have Missy Hyatt in his corner and Zbyszko will have Paul E. Dangerously in his corner. This is a definite preview of the upcoming eight man tag team match at Spring Stampede. Which side will gain momentum as we move forward? -Plus we will see The State Patrol against Rick Martel and Tito Santana, Los Gringos Locos against The Fabulous Ones, the in-ring debuts of The Diamond Studd and Vinnie Vegas 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 The Diamond Studd and Vinnie Vegas vs. The Killer Bees Comments: 10 Minute Time Limit The State Patrol vs. Rick Martel and Tito Santana Comments: 10 Minute Time Limit Los Gringos Locos vs. The Fabulous Ones Comments: 20 Minute Time Limit Larry Zbyszko vs. Dustin Rhodes Comments: 20 Minute Time Limit Asian Nightmare vs. The Steiner Brothers Comments: Comments On The Diary/Previous Show:

Beejus · August 27, 2018

At first I was pretty surprised to see Studd pick up the US title, but now that Lex has made his way into the World title picture, it makes more sense. Losing both Sting AND Flair now leaves a huge hole in your main event, so hopefully you will be able to fill those gaps until whenever they return. I really liked WrestleWar, so I look forward to seeing what comes next!

Studd and Vegas - The Bees were JTTS back in 1987, let alone 1991. They put over the future stars here.

Martel and Santana - Really liked seeing these two appear! They do make a great little White Meat Babyface triangle along with Zenk, and I want to see what you do with them until Z-Man eventually either rises or destructs.

Los Gringos Locos - Great pick up with these two! The Fabs are probably far more popular, but the Gringos winning here would put them instantly on the map.

Larry Zbyszko - "The Living Legend" cheats to win.

Steiner Brothers - Nice win to put WrestleWar and the US belts behind them.

OOC: I'll be posting this in both my diaries in case there are people who read one and not the other. This Saturday, I will be going on a trip back east to attend my sister's wedding. I will be gone from Saturday to Tuesday the 11th. So you can probably not expect any updates from me between those times. I say probably because you never know what might happen while I am back east. But I thank everyone for your patience. === <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Beejus" data-cite="Beejus" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>At first I was pretty surprised to see Studd pick up the US title, but now that Lex has made his way into the World title picture, it makes more sense.

Thanks for the predictions and comments! I was sure that O'Connor winning the United States title would be a surprise. However, like you said, the title loss definitely served a purpose as it allowed me to elevate Luger. Which was perfect timing considering now it's not only Sting and Terry Taylor but Ric Flair that is injured. I definitely have to make sure that I have guys that will fill in the gaps. I'm glad you liked WrestleWar. I hope that it was a show that people enjoyed, especially the War Games match. I hope I wrote enough on that. I am glad that someone other than myself likes the trios tag team of Z-Man, Martel and Santana. They picked up a huge win when defeating Cornette's group. Where they go from there can only be found out as we move forward. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="RyanR93WKU" data-cite="RyanR93WKU" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45394" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>10 Minute Time Limit Los Gringos Locos vs. The Fabulous Ones Comments: The Fabulous Ones pick up the victory.

Thanks for the predictions and comments! In case you did not know, Los Gringos Locos is the tag team of Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr. In real life, the group wasn't formed until 1992 in AAA. I'm glad that you took the time to read through the entire diary. I am honored to have someone that's taken the time to do so. I definitely have a massive tag team division going. It's the complete opposite of my USPW diary. LOL. As far as the Dusty finishes go, it's something that I haven't seen a lot of in diaries, personally. But it's something that definitely goes with classic wrestling. Glad that it's something that someone else has enjoyed. Thanks for your comments on my diary and I look forward to hearing more from you as we move forward. Feel free to make any posts, comments, questions, etc. I always welcome them.

Does this mean that they are done? Well, never say never for the Four Horsemen. They are a resourceful group of wrestlers. As far as The Black Scorpion angle goes, he will definitely be making an appearance this week on WCW Saturday Night. What that appearance is has yet to be known. Make sure you tune in and find out.

As far as The Steiners go, I can admit that they are my favorite tag team of all time. I consider them to be the best tag team of all time, even over The Road Warriors and The Dudley Boys, etc.

This one begins with the arrival of WCW Executive Vice President Eric Bischoff. Bischoff walks out to the ring, smiling at the fans in attendance. He enters the ring and is handed a microphone, beginning by welcoming everyone to this live edition of WCW Saturday Night. He reminds everyone that WCW Saturday Night will be live each and every week and so will WCW Nitro, which begins this Monday night on TBS, The Superstation in prime time. With that being said, he has some business to announce this evening. He announces that World Championship Wrestling has withdrawn from the National Wrestling Alliance. This means that the company will not be recognizing those titles and will be creating their own titles. He announces that WCW will have the WCW World Heavyweight title, WCW World Tag Team titles, WCW World Six Man Tag Team titles, WCW World Television title, WCW United States title and the WCW United States Tag Team titles. The first ever WCW World Heavyweight champion will be decided in a 14 man tournament. Due to their status as co number one contenders, Dusty Rhodes and Lex Luger will receive a bye in the first round and will not be forced to fight each other tonight. Instead, they will team together to take on the Miracle Violence Connection in tonight's main event. He says that the WCW World Heavyweight title tournament will begin this Monday on Nitro and that the wrestlers who will be participating in the match have already been informed backstage. He announces one man that will not be participating is Ric Flair, who was injured last Sunday night in the War Games match at WrestleWar and will be gone for an indefinite amount of time. Finally, he announces that the WCW United States title will be decided this Monday on Nitro when Chuck O'Connor takes on Junkyard Dog. He wishes all wrestlers the best of luck and then exits the ring, headed toward 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="YrqCewK.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/YrqCewK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [A video is shown to recap the WrestleWar pay-per-view event from last Sunday night.

The two surprises of Dusty Rhodes and Lex Luger are shown as they arrive in the War Games match. The moment that Ric Flair is injured is shown in great detail as Samu's flying headbutt catches Flair in the throat. Then we are shown Lex Luger lifting Sid Vicious in the Human Torture Rack.

But things didn't stop there. The Hardliners came out and assaulted Junkyard Dog following the match. From the video, we move to the interview stage where Tony Schiavone is standing by with Junkyard Dog. Schiavone congratulates JYD on the victory at WrestleWar and asks him what is next for the Dog. JYD says that the Dog had his day last Sunday by defeating a man that many claimed was unbeatable in Vader. But there are many more important days for the Dog. Like this Monday night when he steps in the ring with Chuck O'Connor and wins the United States title. That is going to be an important day of the Dog. But this is an important day as well. It is important because he signed up to get some backup against Devastation, Inc. He went looking all over the world to find some partners to take on that stable and he has found some.

That means standing on the side of the Junkyard Dog here despite the things that may have happened in their past. Terry shakes hands with JYD and then hands the microphone over to his brother, Dory. Dory Funk, Jr. says that he is always a man of few words and that won't change with his arrival here in WCW. He has a few words to say here, though. He says that he is issuing a challenge for Spring Stampede.

Dangerously, steps in the ring with The Natural Dustin Rhodes, who has Missy Hyatt in his corner. Within moments of the opening bell, Zbyszko slaps the taste out of Rhodes' mouth in the center of the ring. Rhodes goes right after Zbyszko, throwing punches until he knocks Zbyszko back to the ropes. Zbyszko cowers in the ropes as the referee steps in to pull Rhodes away. With Rhodes distracted by the referee, Zbyszko takes control with a poke to the eye. Zbyszko wraps Rhodes with a headlock and then takes him over to the mat, scoring a one count as Rhodes' shoulders are down on the mat. The Living Legend remains in control for several minutes as he focuses in on the neck of Rhodes. Outside the ring, Missy Hyatt tries to get the crowd involved to pump up Rhodes. Zbyszko scores a two count on Rhodes following a swinging neckbreaker. Then he goes for the Larryland Dreamer but Rhodes gets his arm up, blocking the move. The crowd claps and stomps their feet for Rhodes as he fights through, lifting Zbyszko and bringing him down with an atomic drop! He bounces off the ropes and catches Zbyszko with a lariat, bringing both men to the mat. The referee begins the ten count but both men get up before the count can reach ten. The two men meet in the ring where Rhodes throws punches and then a bionic elbow that he learned from his father. Rhodes picks up the fallen Zbyszko and sends him into a corner, climbing up and raining down punches. Once he reaches ten, he drops down and the referee steps in to break things up because they're in the corner. Rhodes backs to the ropes as the referee checks on Zbyszko.

A flash of lightning fills the arena before we see the arrival of The Black Scorpion. Scorpion walks slowly toward the ring, stepping inside and being given a microphone. His voice is all too familiar to some fans as he begins speaking, talking about what happened with the man called Sting. He says that what happened to Sting the night before WrestleWar was not an accident. He says that he is in complete control of what happened and now he has done exactly what he said he was going to do. He says that Sting is now away indefinitely. With that being said, his will is completely done now. He says that his run as The Black Scorpion has ended and now he is going to reveal to the world exactly who he is. He states that on April 11, 1987 he faced Sting in another promotion. Now, he is the last man standing. He completely removes the Black Scorpion mask to reveal...] <img alt="dCKZTg8.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/dCKZTg8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [it's 'Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert!

He says that he manipulated Sid Vicious into injuring Sting with that chair shot and now he remains while Sting is gone from WCW for good. He says that the last time he was here in WCW, he lived in Sting's shadow. But that will not happen again. As a matter of fact, he was approached by Eric Bischoff earlier today and told that he would be a part of the WCW World Heavyweight title tournament. He says that he wasn't told who his opponent would be but that doesn't matter. It could be Rick Martel or Tito Santana or even Flyin' Brian. Once the match begins, he will be the man who moves forward and he will become the first reigning WCW World Heavyweight champion. He reminds everyone that Hot Stuff lives forever. With that, his music hits and he heads toward the back as the crowd boos him loudly.]</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="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" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> [We move down to the staging interview area where we see the two remaining members of The Four Horsemen, Arn Anderson and Barry Windham. Anderson has a microphone and says that he is very disappointed in what happened last Sunday night when The Horsemen lost in War Games. He says that it is very obvious that Sid Vicious wanted out of The Horsemen and that is why he submitted in War Games. Speaking of The Horsemen, Anderson gives the microphone over to Barry Windham to make a special announcement. Windham says that due to Ric Flair getting injured and Sid Vicious leaving The Horsemen, they have decided to go their separate ways for now. Windham says that both of them will be in the WCW World Heavyweight title tournament. Windham wishes Arn Anderson good luck in the tournament and says that he plans to meet him in the finals. Anderson shakes hands with Windham before Windham walks off. Anderson remains at the interview stage with the microphone. He says that this is a brand new day for him and his career. With the brand new day comes the return of the past. He announces that not only will he become the WCW World Heavyweight champion but he will also become the WCW World Tag Team champions.

These two men are two time NWA World Tag Team champions! They forego a handshake for a hug and Tully Blanchard gets on the microphone. Blanchard begins by saying that the two of them don't need the Four Horsemen to take over this company and take all of the titles in WCW. That begins with the man standing beside him walking through the WCW World Heavyweight title tournament and coming away with the title. Then there's the matter of those fools in Soul Power who will probably be getting the first shot at the WCW World Tag Team titles. Blanchard says to take a look at the marquee. The marquee says wrestling and that is exactly what he and Arn do best. He says that there is no tag team better than the two of them in this business. It doesn't matter whether it's Soul Power, Doom, The Killer Bees, The Steiner Brothers or even one of those tag teams from up north. When they step in the ring with Tully and Arn they are going to get the wrestling lesson of a lifetime. Blanchard and Anderson turn and begin to exit the staging area as we go back to the ring.]</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="k1d13or.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/k1d13or.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="oBggdAm.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/oBggdAm.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="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:center;"></div> 20 Minute Time Limit Asian Nightmare vs. The Steiner Brothers [Our semi main event match features two outstanding tag teams as Jim Cornette's Asian Nightmare steps in the ring with Missy Hyatt's Steiner Brothers. Rick Steiner starts in the ring with Akio Sato and Rick begins jogging around the ring, barking and getting the crowd into the match immediately. When the two men lock up, Rick begins using some amateur style wrestling takedowns on Sato, keeping him down on the mat and showcasing the Michigan wrestling style that he learned while in college. Sato manages to struggle his way up to his feet and catches Rick with a back elbow. Sato quickly tags in Pat Tanaka, who leaps over the top rope and comes down with a chop to the head of Rick Steiner. Tanaka drags Rick over into the corner of Asian Nightmare and they begin using quick tags to keep a fresh man in the ring. Tanaka brings down Rick with a body slam and then a headbutt. Tanaka and Sato make several more quick tags, catching Rick Steiner with a double crescent kick that allows Tanaka to score a two count before Scott Steiner breaks things up. The momentum shifts when Tanaka has Rick Steiner in a neutral corner. Tanaka comes at him with a cartwheel into a backflip and a missed back elbow. Rick Steiner takes down Tanaka with a Steinerline before the two of them begin moving toward their respective corners. Tanaka tags in Sato and Rick tags in his brother Scott! Scott rushes in with Steinerlines for both members of Asian Nightmare. Scott turns toward Sato and catches him around the waist, throwing him with an overhead belly to belly suplex! Jim Cornette climbs onto the apron and he's knocked back down with a single punch from Scott Steiner. Rick Steiner enters the ring and wraps his arms around Sato from behind. Scott hits Sato with a Steinerline, sending him over with a Rick Steiner German Suplex! Scott turns his attention to Tanaka, picking him up and body slamming him before motioning to his brother. Rick climbs to the top turnbuckle and Scott lifts Sato up on his shoulders, walking toward the corner. Rick leaps and catches Sato with the Doomsday Bulldog known as the Steinerizer!

Schiavone reminds everyone that this Monday is the very first WCW Nitro on TBS. Then he welcomes his guest at this time, Michael Hayes. A quick recap video is shown of Hayes defeating Kevin Von Erich at WrestleWar. Hayes joins Schiavone and Schiavone begins by congratulating Hayes on his victory at WrestleWar even if it was by dubious means. Hayes says that how he scored the victory doesn't matter because he is the one that scored the victory. At the end of the match, it was his arm that was raised and he walked away with that sweet smell of victory to return to Badstreet USA. He says that this victory means that he is done with Kevin Von Erich and that whole trashy family. Now he can turn his focus to the WCW World Heavyweight title tournament and bring the title back to Badstreet USA. Before he can finish the interview, though, he is interrupted by the arrival of Kevin Von Erich! The crowd cheers the member of the Von Erich clan. Hayes, however, is less than thrilled with Von Erich's arrival. Hayes tells Von Erich that he's through with him but Von Erich responds with a punch! The two men begin exchanging blows right there at the interview stage as Schiavone quickly moves away to avoid getting caught up in the action. Von Erich locks in the Von Erich Iron Claw! Hayes's arms flail back and forth as he tries to break free. Doug Dillinger and the rest of WCW Security step onto the scene to break things up.

Solie welcomes everyone to the Wrestling News Network and then begins recapping what happened at the beginning of tonight's show. He talks about the announcement that WCW is leaving the NWA thus all of the titles are now vacant. This also means that WCW will not be acknowledging any NWA titles that may still be held by WCW wrestlers. He discusses the WCW World Heavyweight title tournament for a few brief moments before turning his attention to the WCW World Tag Team titles. For more on these titles, he sends us to a promo with the latest tag team champions. The team known as Soul Power are shown standing in front of a WCW blue background. Rocky Johnson says that he understands about WCW leaving the NWA and this is why he went to Eric Bischoff personally to find out what is going to happen regarding the new WCW World Tag Team titles. He says that he was informed there will be a rematch at Spring Stampede next month between Soul Power and Doom where the winners will be crowned the new WCW World Tag Team champions. Johnson says that The Rock and Mr. USA will be the first ever WCW World Tag Team champions because they proved less than a week ago that they are better than Doom. Johnson says that just like at WrestleWar Ron Simmons and Butch Reed are going to find themselves in between a rock and a hard place. Atlas flexes and adds in that Soul Power is going to prove once and for all that they are the best tag team in the business today. Atlas flexes a little more and we go to our main event contest.]</div></blockquote> Match #6 <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="D2MBQs4.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/D2MBQs4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2aFcRN0.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/2aFcRN0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7bAaXoi.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/7bAaXoi.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="x5eAKSn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/x5eAKSn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="eF4dGgn.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/eF4dGgn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> Miracle Violence Connection vs. Dusty Rhodes and Lex Luger [This main event contest features Paul E. Dangerously leading the Miracle Violence Connection down to the ring as they step inside to face two men who have byes in the first round of the WCW World Heavyweight title tournament: 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes and 'The Total Package' Lex Luger. The power of Luger shows up early in the match with a clothesline on Terry Gordy that knocks him from the ring. Steve Williams steps inside the ring and goes face-to-face with The Total Package. After a few back and forth punches, Williams strikes Luger with a knee to the ribs. He knocks Luger backwards but Luger falls into his corner and tags in Dusty Rhodes. The American Dream slows the momentum down slightly, waiting for Terry Gordy to enter the ring instead of facing off with Steve Williams as Gordy is the legal man. Gordy and Rhodes start the match off strong with some back and forth brawling. Gordy takes control with a body slam on Rhodes. He tags in Dr. Death and Steve Williams stomps in, beginning to work over the legendary Dusty Rhodes. Williams brings Rhodes to the mat and begins seemingly tying him up in a pretzel, looking to get a submission out of Rhodes. After he doesn't get a submission, Williams picks up Rhodes and shows his power when he lifts Rhodes in a chicken wing submission before slamming him down to the mat. Williams rolls Rhodes over onto his back and makes a cover: One, Two, Broken Up By Lex Luger! Williams stomps on Rhodes and then picks him up, tossing him back into his corner as Paul E. Dangerously looks on from ringside. Dr. Death tags in Terry Gordy and Gordy kicks Rhodes in the gut three straight times before bringing him to the mat with a side belly-to-belly suplex. Gordy walks over and taunts Lex Luger, bringing Luger into the ring. The referee steps in to send Luger back to the corner. In comes Steve Williams and Williams and Gordy use their combined strength to bring Rhodes down with a double power bomb! Rhodes is planted on the mat and Gordy makes the cover:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Shoulder Up!] [The match moves forward as Williams and Gordy continue their control over Dusty Rhodes. Gordy locks Rhodes in a Boston Crab in the center of the ring. Rhodes shakes his head, refusing to submit while Lex Luger claps his hands in the corner, getting the crowd involved. Rhodes struggles toward the ropes, edging toward a neutral corner. Somehow, Rhodes finds the strength to kick Gordy into the corner in an almost catapult-like move! Gordy bounces out of the corner and Rhodes drops him with a bionic elbow to the back of the neck. Both men are down and moving toward their corners. The crowd clap and stomp, trying to give Rhodes the strength to get to Lex Luger. Gordy is the first man to make the tag. In comes Steve Williams! Dr. Death grabs Rhodes by the legs but Rhodes kicks him off and then makes the tag to the Total Package. Luger comes in and throws a punch to Williams! He begins exchanging blows with Dr. Death before picking him up and bringing him down with a body slam. Terry Gordy comes in and is taken down with a big running forearm smash! Slowly, in comes Dusty Rhodes to match up with Terry Gordy. Luger turns his attention back to Williams. He ducks a Steve Williams clothesline and then catches him with a big 360 Powerslam! Luger gets to his feet and makes a motion for the Human Torture Rack! Paul E. Dangerously climbs up on the apron but Dusty Rhodes knocks Terry Gordy into him, knocking him down to the ringside area. Luger picks up Williams and up onto his shoulders. He's stretching Williams with the Human Torture Rack! But Gordy knocks Dusty Rhodes into Lex Luger! Luger drops Williams from the impact and Terry Gordy throws Luger out of the ring. Steve Williams rolls under the bottom rope and goes after Luger! He rams Luger into the guardrail as the referee begins the count. Dr. Death begins throwing punches, which are thrown back by Luger!

Steve Williams catches Lex Luger with a kick to the groin outside the ring before tossing him back inside. Terry Gordy catches Dusty Rhodes with the Oriental Spike! Williams lifts Luger up on his shoulders and hits the Oklahoma Stampede! Paul E. Dangerously smiles as he dusts himself off and climbs inside the ring to direct traffic in this beatdown. Before things can get too dangerous, though, The Steiner Brothers come rushing out toward the ring! Rick and Scott Steiner go right into it with the Miracle Violence Connection! Rick Steiner charges Terry Gordy and trips him up with a double leg takedown! The two men roll around inside the ring, exchanging forearm blows. Scott Steiner ducks a clothesline from Steve Williams and grabs him around the waist but Paul E. Dangerously strikes Scott Steiner in the back of the head with his cell phone! Dr. Death slips around behind Scott and drops him with an incredible Backdrop Driver! Rick Steiner has taken control over Terry Gordy and gets to his feet, stomping and kicking on Steve Williams! Doug Dillinger finally begins leading the WCW Security team out from the back! The security enters the ring and begins separating the two tag teams. What a war has taken place here! That war will definitely continue at Spring Stampede but what will happen on the very first WCW Nitro? Make sure you tune in this Monday night on TBS to find out! We'll see you there!
