October 11th WCW Power Hour Tony Schiavone & Bobby Heenan Bobby makes his debut on Power Hour this week saying that he’s checking things out around here.

We then cut to footage of the issue with Sting and Nikita Koloff taking on the Russian Pitbulls last week on World Wide… then we see the debut of the Barbarian which was electric. The Barbarian comes out with Ivan Koloff and wins a squash match… he hits a powerslam from halfway across the ring it seems. Ivan is saying that Nikita is next!

Zenk runs away as Sid is trying to get to his feet and catch up to him! Heenan says that Zenk is hitting and running but soon her won’t have anywhere to run to and Sid is going to get his hands on him! Jim Powers with a nice win. The Freebirds also get a nice tag team win… extra-large Badstreet is with them and DDP. WCW US Tag Team Title Match In one of the crazier bouts of the last couple of months…. Samu and Fatu defeated Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith to become the new US Tag Team Champions. This match was hard hitting and high flying from the outset. We saw Afa and Sika both involved. Tonga was out there. Then we saw Ax and Smash come out to break up the numbers game. That led to Teddy Long and Doom coming out… getting involved… Throwing Davey Boy into the ring post… Owen gets hit with a double superkick and then a diving headbutt. All hell has broken loose… Afa and Sika hold up the titles for Samu and Fatu… Tonga is going wild… this is insanity!

World Championship Wrestling Jim Ross & Bobby Heenan Ross and Heenan put over a huge night of action… we’ll hear from Lex Luger and Harley Race… plus Sting and Nikita will be here to take on the Pitbulls again… but will the Barbarian get involved like he did a week ago? We also kick off the show with the footage from earlier today on Power Hour. WCW US Tag Team Title Match In one of the crazier bouts of the last couple of months…. Samu and Fatu defeated Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith to become the new US Tag Team Champions. This match was hard hitting and high flying from the outset. We saw Afa and Sika both involved. Tonga was out there. Then we saw Ax and Smash come out to break up the numbers game. That led to Teddy Long and Doom coming out… getting involved… Throwing Davey Boy into the ring post… Owen gets hit with a double superkick and then a diving headbutt. All hell has broken loose… Afa and Sika hold up the titles for Samu and Fatu… Tonga is going wild… this is insanity! Bobby Heenan is putting it through the roof… Bullet Bob, Scott, and Brad Armstrong win a nice six-man. Sid Vicious with a win over two blokes… he is screaming for Zenk… he walks up the aisle and turns around to work the crowd but then goes flying forward! Zenk dropkicked him through the curtain! Zenk runs out and starts hammering away on Sid with right hands but Vicious starts to get back up! Zenk retreats… Heenan and Ross put this through the roof! Scott Hall and Flyin Brian take part in a tag team match that gets the fans going. There is some continuity issue with the two of them… but they get the job done. Paul Heyman comes out with the Dangerous Alliance and says he can’t wait for Halloween Havoc… because Trick or Treat boys… there is none with either of these two men… they are here to cause pain and torture! Rude and Hennig then take part in their first WCW televised match together. It is a squash… they kill these dudes… a Perfect Plex is all she wrote for the 3-count! Demolition get a nice tag team win… they also cut a promo and say that now they will have a little bit more to go after when it comes to the match witht he Samoans at Halloween Havoc… and they promise that Crush is going to be back and ready to rule the ring! Jim Powers with a good singles win… but then once again… there is that guy in the crowd… Heenan says his sources are looking into this guy… he is a mortician… well… awkwardly enough… he gives Powers a wreath… it says RIP… Sting and Nikita Koloff cut a promo together… they’re joined by Ricky Steamboat… they will be in six-man action tonight… we find out that they’re coming together as a unit to watch each other’s backs…. The Great Muta gets a slick win with a moonsault from across the ring! Eric Bichoff tries to get a word from him… but all Muta does is look at the camera… say Steamboat… slits his throat and mysts the air! The Rockers win a tag team match and then begin to cut a promo on the Freebirds… that is until they come out with bigger Badstreet who gets right in their face… the Rockers then go for a double superkick and Badstreet flies over the top rope to the floor! The Rockers then brawl with the Freebirds… but Badstreet gets back in the ring and CHOKESLAMS MARTY JANNETTY! Lex Luger comes out with Race and Kama… they cut a promo with Heenan who puts over his masterful job of taking the WCW title and becoming the greatest champion of all time… and how Sting betrayed him from the beginning! Luger just smiles and eats it all up. We then see Barbarian come out with Ivan and the Russian Pitbulls. This group then starts to run down Sting and Nikita… but they walk back out with Steamboat and throw the challenge down… there’s six of them right now… get three of you and meet us in the ring! We get a tag match with Big Josh and El Gigante as filler. Owen and Davey cut a promo on Doom and talk about wanting a fight at Halloween Havoc… they may have lost the titles but not their pride and they’re going to bring the fight to Doom! We get a promo for Halloween Havoc… here’s the card… Lex Luger defends the WCW title against Sting… The Rockers defend the WCW Tag Titles against the Freebirds… Ricky Steamboat takes on The Great Muta… plus Flyin Brian and Scott Hall team up to take on the Dangerous Alliance… Sid Vicious takes on the Z-Man… plus Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith challenge the team of Doom! In our Main Event… Sting, Nikita Koloff, and Ricky Steamboat take on Ivan Koloff and the Russian Pitbulls… it is a fun enough match…lot of action… the Pitbulls are just not in this league yet… Ivan is way past his prime… but they do the work to make Sting, Steamboat, and Luger look good. We see Race, Luger, Barbarian, and Kama at ringside… the finish sees Sting fly off the top rope with a cross body for the 3-count on Ivan Koloff to finish things off. Luger makes the move for Kama and Barbarian to pounce… but when they do Steamboat and Nikita take them out… and then Sting looks Luger right in the eyes… he points down at him… he’s walking Luger back up the aisle… we’re out of time… will Sting get his hands on Luger?!?!? WCW World Wide – October 13, 1990 Eric Bischoff & Diamond Dallas Page Big Josh & El Gigante vs Larry Santo & Jeff Warner Josh and Gigante get a big reaction as the giant towers over both opponents. Josh controls early with chops and power moves, tagging in Gigante for the finish. Gigante boots both opponents, then lifts them both for a huge double slam. Josh covers for the win as the crowd cheers. DDP line: “Look at the size of that freak, Bischoff! Seven-foot-seven and can move like a freight train — I’m tellin’ ya, if they figure out how to tag in sync, forget Doom, forget the Samoans, it’s over!” Flyin Brian vs Rick Ryder Brian’s all energy tonight — fast-paced chain wrestling, then an explosive dive through the ropes. Ryder gets in a short burst of offense before Brian counters with a back body drop and hits the missile dropkick. Finish: Springboard clothesline for the 1-2-3. After the match, Brian grabs the ropes and shouts “Halloween Havoc — Hall and Pillman, the fight’s coming to YOU, Paul E!” DDP line: “Oh, he’s got guts, Bischoff, but guts get splattered when you poke the Dangerous Alliance! Paul E’s boys are gonna make him regret opening his mouth.” Skinner vs Tim Parker Skinner looks extra nasty, spitting chew before every lock-up. Parker tries to keep distance, but Skinner drags him down and grinds him with rough holds and stomps. Finish: Gator Roll into a reverse neckbreaker for the pin. Skinner wipes his mouth with the turnbuckle pad afterward. DDP line: “That’s a man who don’t care what you think — the dirtier it gets, the happier Skinner looks!” The Samoans (Samu, Fatu, & Tonga w/ Afa & Sika) vs Joey Maggs, “Iron” Mike Jeffers, & Randy Fox Absolute destruction. The Samoans isolate Maggs and beat on him like a drum. Tonga tags in and uses headbutts and a big splash for a near-fall. The crowd pops when all three Samoans hit the ring for a triple headbutt spot. Finish: Samu hits the flying headbutt on Fox for the pin. DDP line: “Now THAT’S how you do a six-man, Bischoff! No pretty boys, no tassels — just headbutts and chaos. The Samoans are coming for those tag straps, and I pity whoever’s holding ‘em!” Owen Hart vs Butch Reed (w/ Teddy Long) — Disqualification Finish Great contrast of styles — Owen’s speed vs Reed’s brute power. Owen bumps and flies to make Reed look dominant early, but rallies with crisp dropkicks and a spinning heel kick that gets the crowd roaring. Teddy Long distracts the referee while Ron Simmons slides in and nails Owen with a clothesline, causing the DQ. Davey Boy Smith rushes down with his arm taped but ready for action! The crowd pops huge as he clears Doom out of the ring with a clothesline of his own. Owen and Davey stand tall, holding up the US Tag Titles as Teddy screams at ringside. DDP line: “Oh sure, they look real brave now, Bischoff! Let’s see how tough they are when they step in the ring at Halloween Havoc and have to face the power of Doom — no cheap saves, no disqualifications, just domination!”

WCW Top 10 WCW Champion - Lex Luger Sting Nikita Koloff - US Champion Ricky Steamboat Scott Hall - Television Champion Sid Vicious The Great Muta Mr. Perfect Flyin Brian Rick Rude Z-Man We finish up a fun Power Hour with a solid contest featuring Television Champion Scott Hall and Johnny Ace. Hall looks primed for big things and defends the tv title in a nice contest. He even hits the Diamond Death Drop for the 3-count! The shows ends with Rick Rude, Curt Hennig, and Paul E standing in the aisle… Hall looks to be welcoming them to the ring! What’s going to happen tonight!

Plus… Bobby the Brain Heenan is said to be here tonight! WCW opens with World Champion, Lex Luger, flanked by Kama and Race in action. He takes on Jumping Joey Maggs and handles him with ease. Luger looks to be in the best shape of his life as he prepares for his biggest title defense against Sting at Havoc. We get a promo from him after the fact… he says that he’s been training while Sting has been buddying around with Nikita Koloff. He says he’s focused on the World Title and Sting is focused on his friendship with Nikita Koloff. If sting was half as focused on his friendship with Lex Luger we wouldn’t even be in this spot! Sting… I’m coming for my revenge… from you ruining our friendship and trying to take my livelihood! El Gigante wins a handicap match… Big Josh gets the crowd going wild outside the ring! Ricky Steamboat cuts a big promo where he calls out Muta… he says that they have a state with destiny and he is going to show Muta why he’s the dragon has the passion of 1,000 fires… he then says…“Muta, you tried to take my voice, you tried to take my breath… but you didn’t take my spirit. At Halloween Havoc, you won’t just see the Dragon… you’ll see fire.” Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty win a nice tag team match… both men appear to be healthy and ready for their big match with the Freebirds at Halloween Havoc! We then hear from the Freebirds as they come out to cut a promo… the Rockers challenge them to come to the ring… but then we hear Michael Hayes call out… BADSTREET… now this Badstreet looks like he’s almost 7’ tall! Michael Hayes says Badstreet isn’t a man it is a state of mind… DDP is with him and is sending him into the ring… problem is when DDP gets up on the apron… the Rockers hit a double dropkick and send him flying into Badstreet who catches him and stumbles! The Freebirds are pissed… they are blaming DDP… Demolition with a nice tag team win… we get an inset promo from them as they put over their issue with the Samoans. We find out that they will challenge Owen and Davey for the US Tag titles next week on Main Event. They tell the Samoans that at Halloween Havoc… Crush will be back and it is going to be the brawl to end it all! We get the big angle… a limo arrival… we see the door open… but wait just a moment… it is Paul E… Rick Rude… Curt Hennig… and then BOBBY HEENAN! Heenan is in a nice suit… they are making their way to the ring… We come back from commercials and out comes Rick Rude, Curt Hennig, and Paul E Dangerously… sans Heenan… they start to talk but they’re soon interrupted by Flyin Brian! Flyin Brian…“Paul E, Hennig, Rude — you keep talking about how dangerous you are, but you’re lookin’ at the fight that’s comin’ for you. And at Halloween Havoc, you won’t be able to run!” Hall finally then says: “We don’t need contracts, we don’t need deals. All we need is that bell to ring. Havoc, Chicago — Dangerous Alliance, you’re ours.” Paul E responds, smug and sarcastic “Brian, Hall — you want a fight? Congratulations. At Halloween Havoc, you’re signing your own obituary.” We then come back and Jim Ross welcomes in Bobby the Brain Heenan to the booth… Ross immediately asks him questions about the Dangerous Alliance to which Heenan says he has signed the biggest color commentator contract in the history of sports, entertainment, and television! He says he is making triple what John Madden is making and he’s worth every cent. When it comes to the Dangerous Alliance… Heenan has friends… guys he hopes do well… that’s all… his managing days are done and now he is in the booth… he is going to call it right down the line… like it is supposed to be! Sid Vicious destroys a couple of random dudes… then he starts calling out the Z-Man! He’s screaming for him… then we see Zenk in the crowd! Sid looks like he’s trying to beat up fans to get to him! Zenk is laughing it off… is it smart to get this guy upset? The Samoans win a six-man… no one talks for this group… Afa and Sika do work to get the crowd into it… these guys get a title match next week with Owen and Davey… we’ll see what happens there and if Demolition get involved! Doom with a sold tag team with… Teddy Long is saying that he’s pulling for the Samoans next week… he knows that the match at Halloween Havoc isn’t for gold but for the number one contendership to face the WCW tag champions… he thinks it is going to be the Freebirds… We then get a promo from Owen and Davey… they are 100% and they’re going to show Doom no mercy at Halloween Havoc! Next week… the Samoans are going to get a taste of their greatness! For some reason… the camera pans to a person in the crowd… he is dressed in all black… Ross jokes that he looks like he is in the mood for Halloween Havoc already… Heenan says that he looks familiar… he saw his face on a milk carton… Ross says he looks like he works in a cemetery! Jim Powers with a nice win. He sees that guy in the audience and he is kind of creeped out… this guy then gets up and hands Jim Powers something… it is a card…. It says RIP! Sting and Nikita Koloff defeat the State Patrol… we see Ivan bring out the Russian Pitbulls and we get a brawl… that is until Kama comes out, flanked by Harley Race… Kama looks to attack Sting who is fighting him off while Nikita is trying to fight off the Russians! Officials come out to try and break this up but Sting and Nikita are against the numbers and they will have a big match tomorrow weight on World Wide! WCW World Wide Erich Bischoff & DDP Flyin Brian vs Randy Fox Brian explodes with speed and aerials, dropkicking Fox all over the ring. Finish: Springboard clothesline for the pin. DDP line: “I’ll give Brian credit — the kid flies around like a house on fire… but sooner or later, he’s gonna crash and burn when he’s in there with the Dangerous Alliance!” Brad, Bob, & Scott Armstrong vs Rick Ryder, Larry Santo & Tim Parker Classic Armstrong Family teamwork: Brad shines with crisp offense, Scott takes heat, and Bullet Bob rallies the crowd with fiery punches. Finish: Brad hits the Russian Legsweep on Ryder for the 3-count. DDP line: “Give me a break, Bischoff — one family shouldn’t be allowed to take up three roster spots! Nepotism at its finest.” Big Josh vs Mike Thor Josh chops Thor down, hits his backbreaker, and even teases his log roll. Finish: Running powerslam seals the victory. DDP line: “Big Josh is a lumberjack, huh? Well I got news for ya, Bischoff — he should stick to chopping wood, because sooner or later somebody in WCW is gonna chop him down!” Doom (Ron Simmons & Butch Reed w/ Teddy Long) vs Joey Maggs & Jeff Warner Doom just dismantle the jobbers with power and dominance. Simmons nearly decapitates Warner with a clothesline. Finish: Doom double-shoulderbreaker for the win. DDP line: “Now THIS is a tag team! Simmons, Reed, Teddy Long — that’s what you call a dynasty in the making. Owen and Davey are already on borrowed time, baby!” Main Event: Sting & Nikita Koloff vs The Russian Pitbulls w/ Ivan Koloff Sting and Nikita bring the fight, but the Pitbulls use double-teams to slow things down. Hot tag to Sting blows the roof off — Stinger Splashes for both Pitbulls! Just as it looks like the babyfaces have it, Kama storms in and attacks Sting for the DQ. Post-match: Ivan directs traffic as Kama and the Pitbulls beat down Sting and Nikita. Then the crowd erupts — Ivan brings out a NEW monster… The Barbarian! Barbarian clubs Nikita down and drops him with a huge headbutt. Camera cuts to the aisle where Lex Luger and Harley Race are standing, laughing and clapping at the carnage. DDP line: “Oh baby, now THAT is how you make a debut! The Barbarian, Kama, the Pitbulls — and Luger and Race are lovin’ it! Sting and Nikita don’t stand a chance at Halloween Havoc, Bischoff!”

Man, this was just a really fun show start to finish. Sweet Brown Sugar kicked things off with a nice little win to get the crowd going, and the Wallstreet handicap deal was a cool way to show off the York Foundation stuff. The Road Warriors crashing the Southern Boys vs. Dirty White Boys match was crazy and just makes everyone want that big clash with the Steiners even more. POW teaming with Jarrett felt like his biggest moment yet—he really came alive in that one. Austin vs. Fuller was sharp too, with Austin looking like the man as he outsmarted both Fuller and the Nightstalker. The Southern Tag Title match had classic Memphis shenanigans with Jimmy Hart and then the Rock n Rolls running out to save the day. And then that main event? Lawler and Savage tore it up, Bossman stirred the pot, and it all ended in chaos that sets up a bunch of different stories. Just a super entertaining night that gave the fans plenty to talk about.

This Prime Time was a blast from start to finish. Berzerker came off like a total beast in the opener, and Billy Jack Haynes looked strong with his full nelson finish. The Genius did his usual thing and it was fun, while the Rougeaus showed why they’re champs with a smooth win. The big moment was the “Royal Proclamation” with Jerry Lawler finally showing up—perfect way to kick off his run as the real King. Haku with Sherri looked nasty, and Black Diamond Enterprise with One Man Gang wrecked their opponents in a fun squash. The Terry Funk promo at the ranch was awesome—him with the belt, the whiskey, and that wild stare into the camera really sold the outlaw vibe. Manny Fernandez brought the fight, and Vader in the main event just looked unstoppable. All in all, it was a show that had good squashes, strong promos, and plenty of hype for SNME.

This UWF show rocked from start to finish. Volk Han and Hashimikov kicked it off with a slick vs. power battle, and Han’s crazy submissions got the win. Onita went out swinging, but Ruas chopped him down with brutal low kicks until he couldn’t stand. Fujinami outlasted Tadeu’s flash, while Karelin just crushed Suzuki like a tank with the Karelin Lift. Takada had a tough test with Koslowski but pulled it out with a tight armbar. Sayama looked sharp as ever, beating Vrij with crisp counters and a TKO. Maeda had a war with Dennis Koslowski but finished it with the Capture Suplex. And the main event—Funaki finally beating Fujiwara—was huge, a real passing of the torch moment. Funaki’s celebration with Fujiwara raising his hand was the perfect cap to an awesome night.

Super fun stretch of PCW shows. Mike Awesome looked terrifying, the Sons of the Beach stayed over, and the Thrillseekers going time-limit with the Midnights was a legit statement. The Severn–DiBiase tap was a killer angle, Busick keeps cooking as TV champ, and Bret/Regal both delivered clean, classy wrestling. Loved the PCO “tough love” spark for David Cash, plus Guerrero and Candido grabbing momentum in the LHW lane. Kawada’s meltdown gave the League of Gentlemen real drama, while Harlem Heat’s sneaky win and Gordy gutting out Hashimoto added juice to those feuds. Capped off with Coast 2 Coast pushing the champs and Barr retaining as PCO/Cash hovered—tons of hooks rolling into the next week.

These AWA shows had a ton going on and were super fun. Santana looked smooth, DeBeers got his usual heat, and Leo Burke sneaking a win over JW Storm was classic vet stuff. Jammer/Brandi is heating up, the Guerreros are cocky as ever, and Jumbo wrecking a guy while setting up Hansen felt big. Texas Red accepting that Texas Death match was a huge moment, and Arcidi showing up with the Power Twins was a real shock. Spivey talking tough about Hogan set the hype, and Hogan’s gym promo was vintage Hulkster. Then the Royal Albert Hall card totally delivered—Johnny Smith got the crowd behind him, Bundy crushed, and Slater/Garvin vs. the Bodies was a gritty brawl. The TV title match had a sneaky turn with Gary Young laying out Sammartino, and Cactus vs. Golden was pure chaos. Latin Desire and the Destruction Crew tore it up, and Flair stealing one from Tony St. Clair got real riot heat. The post-match with Missing Link, Sawyer, Johnny Smith, and then Les Thornton giving his nod? Awesome angle. Hot crowd, big matches, and tons of momentum going into Melee at the Mecca.

September 27th WCW Power Hour Tony Schiavone & Eric Bischoff Tony and Eric bring us in for a fun morning of action… we’ve got some good matches lines up plus a fun six-man for our main event… here we go! Ivan Koloff introduces his Russian Pitbulls to the crowd and lets them loose on a couple of jobbers. The Pitbulls are relentless and secure an easy win. Ivan says he has yet to unleash his greatest threat on Nikita, and when he does, it will be his end! Skinner continues to rebuild his reputation….he handles some dude with a mouth full of chew and the Gator Roll! Kendall Windham with a nice win… nothing flashy. The Z-Man gets a nice win with a top rope dropkick… he then points to his head likes he’s outsmarting someone… Johnny Ace with a win on his own accord… again nothing flashy but these guys are building. The Freebirds get a nice win with Badstreet and DDP at ringside…they have their shot at the Rockers come Halloween Havoc! Scott Hall gets a nice television win… but the moment that gets everyone talking is when Brian Pillman shows up in the aisleway… he offers his hand… Hall just walks off! WCW Top 10 stays unchanged this week WCW Champion - Lex Luger Sting Nikita Koloff - US Champion Scott Hall - TV Champion Ricky Steamboat Flyin Brian Sid Vicious The Great Muta Curt Hennig Rick Rude Z-Man In our main event - we see Brad Armstrong out here with his brother Scott and father Bob… they take on Savio Vega and the Boricuas… it is a fun six-man with everyone getting involved but it is Brad who gets the shine. He and Savio go blow for blow and when Bob and Scott get involved to take out Perez and Estrada… Brad ducks a spinning heel kick and then swoops up Savio and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP and a roll up for the 3-count! The Armstrongs with a nice win and they make their names known….could be good stuff on the horizon for them. World Championship Wrestling Jim Ross & Tony Schiavone Ross and Tony bring us in for a big night of action… we hear about the big contest with Shawn Michaels taking on Jimmy Garvin! Plus we’re going to see Ivan Koloff and his Russian Pitbulls… Sting will be here… along with Owen Hart in action… fans it is a big night let’s go to the ring! El Gigante and Big Josh are in tag team action to kick us off… they continue to be a good tag team and Tony and JR wonder when they will get their shot at the US or World Tag Titles… Kama comes out with Lex Luger and Harley Race. He gets a clean win and then we hear from Luger and Race who discuss how Sting’s knee is as weak as his heart and he will be nowhere to be found tonight or at Halloween Havoc. The days are numbered for Sting and all the little Stingers out there… his treachery will be taken care of and his friendship will be forgotten! Owen Hart comes out with Davey Boy… he gets a good win… Doom comes out to threaten them but then Davey takes his arm out of the SLING! The crowd pops… the Bulldog is ready for a fight Doom and Teddy Long just smile and back up. Skinner gets an easy win… spits chew all over hell… gross Paul E Dangerously sturts out again, demanding that the Great Muta show himself and take his rightful place in the Dangerous Alliance. Instead, Ricky Steamboat came to the ring and told Paul E that Muta had once been a man of honor and pride, but Paul E’s poison had soured him. Steamboat declared that he wanted Muta at Halloween Havoc. Before he could say more, Rude and Hennig circled him, ready to pounce, when Muta suddenly stormed down to the ring. Steamboat stepped up and told him directly that he was here to challenge him, but Muta fired off a spinning heel kick to the throat that dropped Steamboat hard to the mat. As Steamboat rolled to the floor gasping, Paul E gleefully applauded Muta’s arrival, but Rude and Hennig looked less than thrilled. Then, in a shocking turn, Muta sprayed his mist — straight into Paul E’s face! Rude and Hennig rushed to their manager’s side as Muta slipped out of the ring and disappeared to the back, leaving Paul E overselling in agony, blinded and flustered, while his alliance looked shaken and divided. Ross and Schiavone put this over huge! Kendall Windham with a good win… picking up some steam. JJ Dillon is then shown… he says that he has got some news for the fans of WCW… first off… at Halloween Havoc… the Great Muta will face Ricky Steamboat! The other big news… WCW has just signed a deal… with one of the best color commentators in the entire world of professional wrestling… next he will be here… ladies and gentlemen… coming to WCW… BOBBY THE BRAIN HEENAN! This comes as huge news to the fans and Tony and JR put it over in a big way! Next week Bobby Heenan is going to be here… This leads right into our next segment…. Here comes Sting and he’s got Nikita Koloff next to him. Sting cuts a good promo about accepting Nikita back as his friend and ally… he knows that Nikita was poisioned by a viewpoint or an idea but he knows now where his loyalty lies! Nikita and Sting shake hands… and then put it out there… next week… Ivan… haha… bring the Pitbulls to the ring because we’re going to take care of this problem once and for all! Nikita and Sting make the challenge for next week… will Ivan accept? We then see Flyin Brian with a nice win… he says that he doesn’t need Scott Halls handshake… but he does want him as a partner… to take on Rick Rude and Curt Hennig! The ball is in his court now! Doom comes out for their tag team match and Teddy Long makes it known that he is going to have Doom destroy these Hart boys, take the US titles, and then he’s going to unleash Doom on the WCW tag champions, whoever they may be… and it will be their END! Ivan Koloff comes out with his Pitbulls and says he is happy to accept the challenge for next week… but know this Nikita… I know you’re weakest spots… and your friendship with Sting makes you weaker than ever before… we will triumph over that weakness and destroy you down to your core! Sid Vicious has a quick squash… he keeps asking where the Giant is? Where is the Giant? He says he is the only GIANT in WCW… he’s the MAN… the RULER OF THE WORLD! Sid is walking to the back… but then he comes stumbling back out… wait a second… Z-MAN and he’s got a steel chair! Sid stumbles up and Zenk with a huge shot to the back! Officials and agents come out and Sid shows the first signs of humanity thanks to a couple of vicious chairshots… pun intended! Our Main Event is one that has a lot of juice… the Freebirds and Rockers have been parallel to one another for a while now but they are about to run into one another and this is a good match to get it going. Michael Hayes and DDP are outside the ring… Jannetty, sporting some heavy tape, is on the other side of the ring cheering on his partner. This match goes about 12-minutes… back and forth but it is Michaels who gets shine and Garvin who plays a damn good heel still. Hayes is getting involved every chance he gets… and Jannetty has to play his role to keep him out of the contest. DDP now gets involved and this brings the crowd to their feet with Jannetty going over and popping him in the head! Hayes gets up on the apron and by golly Shawn Michaels comes with a superkick and sends him flying! Garvin comes for a DDT but Michaels counters through and then comes back with another SUPERKICK and Garvin goes down… HARD! 1…2….3! Shawn is the winner… wait a second… Badstreet… now appearing to be over 6’3” tall… he grabs Jannetty and throws him right into the ringpost! Michaels jumps out there and he’s pissed. He almost seems to not care that Marty got injured… or upset he isn’t getting the hype for the win… regardless… next week… it’s going to be a huge WCW as we kick off October and head to HALLOWEEN HAVOC! WCW WorldWide Eric Bichoff and Diamond Dallas Page Tonga Kid vs “Iron” Mike Jeffers Tonga ragdolls the jobber with chops and headbutts, finishing with the Samoan Drop. DDP line: “That’s how the island boys fight, Bischoff — smash and leave ‘em layin’!” El Gigante & Big Josh vs Larry Santo & Randy Fox Josh handles most of the work, Gigante tags in for the big man spectacle. Finish: Gigante’s big boot + Josh’s log roll combo seals the win.

DDP line: "Brother I don't think anyone wants to step in Doom's way... there's no way the Nasties are coming back from that beating!"

Harley and Luger are at his table eating shrimp and drinking champagne. Kama kills his dude in minutes and then comes over and gets a shrimp from Luger. Eric comes out there and and Luger goes on a tirade how this is a life of luxury that Sting will never be able to afford. As a champion, Lex Luger donates to charities not only his money but his time all the while Sting is out there posing with fans and ignoring the calls of all the young fans and especially his friends. Lex, I have left the messages, I have sent the postcards, hell I even sent you a fax Sting… but no response from you huh… I guess i am just chopped liver to you… well Halloween Havoc is a month away but the friendship we’e had for 10 years is dead in the water like these shrimp! I am sick and tired of the betrayal and I am going to put an end to you like you put an end to our friendship! The Rockers are back in tag team action… well kind of… Marty doesn’t get in much because Shawn doesn’t tag him… he knows he’s hurt but we see Michaels handle the load and get the win. We then see the Freebirds come out with DDP… the Rockers are in the ring while the Freebirds are jiving at ringside… until out of the crowd… that’s Badstreet… wait… is it? This guy is a little shorter than Badstreet was a week ago… either way… he attacks Michaels and Jannety leading to the Birds and DDP running into the ring and it being a 4 on 2! Officials run out to break this one up… Owen and Davey Boy come out and they cut a promo about being the US tag team champions but having some serious issues with the tag team of Doom. They talk about Reed and Simmons as nothing but backstabbers who can only jump you from behind… well Owen and Davey want a fight come Hell or Highwater… The Samoans are now in six-man with Afa and Sika… they dominate their match but soon we’ve got Demolition coming out to challenge them to a fight next week… Crush is going to be back and they are going to Demolish the Samoans! We get a quick taped promo from Ricky Steamboat who says he is on the hunt for Muta… when he sees him again it will be a battle that neither man will be able to walk away from! Big Josh with a nice win and he’s got his big buddy… El Gigante by his side. Sid Vicious is seen cutting promo in the back… his head is soaked in sweat or something and he goes on a weird little tirade to talk about being the one true giant… the one true contender for the WCW championship. If it isn’t Luger he gets then he will focus on Sting… if he can’t get Sting then he’ll beat whomever is next in line… there is no more waiting… it is time for Sid to take over… because Sid Vicious RULES THE WORLD! We cut back to the ring for a nice win by Skinner - he is a nasty fellow and he’s got that chewing tobacco all over the place. Flyin Brian gets a nice win… but then we see Paul E come out… he’s got Hennig and Rude with him… he says the people may want to see Hennig and Rude in the ring but they have to pay extra for that kind of entertainment… he has big news… first… Cryin Brian… you are going to get a lesson is hard knocks courtesy of these two… wait a moment… wait just a moment… Scott Hall walks out and he gets right in Paul E’s face… Hall goes full on machismo… he tells Paul E that the dangerous alliance ain’t shit… Woah! Paul E whispers to Rude who gets right in Hall’s face… Paul E backs his guys up before saying that this little show of unity is nothing… next week… the newest member of the Dangerous Alliance will be revealed! Sting with a big win over Savio Vega… the Boricuas try to get involved but the Stinger is on fire! He handles each man with ease before setting up Savio for the big Stinger Splash and then the Scorpion Deathlock for the submission! Sting comes over to Rossy and he is on fire right now. He is talking about Lex Luger… he says that Halloween Havoc can’t come soon enough… but then… wait a second… Nikita Koloff comes out… he holds his hand out and Sting shakes it. They agree that their fight is over with one another and they are looking forward to fighting together in the future! Sting tells Nikita to watch his back with whatever Ivan’s got planned for him… Sting says he will be there if he needs backup! Our Main Event is a great showdown with the Nasty Boys and Doom… somehow I don’t know if the Nasty Boys got the memo they weren’t the top dawgs here because they bring a fight to Doom unlike any they’ve had before. Simmons and Reed have to take a step back to get themselves under control but shit - here comes the Nasty Boys outside the ring. This one is taking the fight all around the arena… wait just a minute… Reed is backed up… but here comes Owen Hart and Davey Boy! Davey’s arm is in a tight sling up against his body but he is throwing with his other arm! The referee has called for the bell and awarded the match to Doom. The Nasty Boys look over at Owen and Davey… they seem to have a mutual respect… for a moment and then the Nasty Boys attack Owen and Davey!

DDP line: “Looks impressive, but let’s see him try that on Rick Rude or Curt Hennig, bro!” Freebirds (w/ Badstreet & DDP) vs Joey Maggs & Jumping Jim Powers Hayes pins Powers after the DDT. DDP line: “That’s how it’s done, Bischoff — Badstreet on the outside, Birds in the ring, and gold in our future!” Main Event: Ricky Steamboat vs Ninja Warrior #2 Steamboat wins clean with the flying crossbody. DDP line: “Big win, sure — but I saw Muta spit that mist, and next time the Dragon won’t be so lucky!”

September 6th WCW Power Hour - Tony Schiavone & Eric Bischoff kick us off with a clipped show from last night. We run through the full hour broadcast with clips and stills from the Clash of the Champions. Nothing offensive and it doesn’t give everything away. They highlight all the big moments… Badstreet’s debut - Sting’s big win… Nikita’s issue with Ivan… the domination Sid Vicious… the reveal of not only Paul E Dangerously but the debut of Ravishing Rick Rude with Curt Hennig… then the tag title match is shown with Owen and Shawn having an issue… the world title match is then shown and the big moment when Muta comes back… the myst to Steamboat… the superplex by Luger… then the big moment when Sting and Luger come face to face to finish off the show. They really pump up World Championship Wrestling… fans it is going to be a whale of a night tune in! World Championship Wrestling - Jim Ross & Tony Schiavone bring us in and put over the huge night of action last night. They talk about all the big happenings… as we prepare for the night they point out how Sting is here… so is Ricky Steamboat… let’s take it to the ring! Big Josh and El Gigante get a nice win to kick us off on our big night of action. They look good as a team and really seem to gel… that is Big Josh does the work and El Gigante gets some show. Diamond Studd cuts a promo with Eric Bichoff where he puts over his tv title reign… and we get some fun glimpses because he is the one that puts out the challenge to Hennig, Rude, and Paul E. He says that he is the most dangerous man in WCW and he will prove it to all three of them! Sid Vicious is in a 3 on 1 handicap match this week and he powerbombs one on top of another on top of the other for the finish. He then cuts a quick promo saying that he is the real number one contender… he rules the world… he will be the HAVOC on Halloween for Sting and anyone else in his path! Ivan Koloff is out here and he calls out Nikita… he says that Nikita disrespected him the other night and he wants answers…. Nikita comes out and says simply… he is his own man now and he fights for himself! He holds the US title as a champion and he’s going to defend it the right way… NO MATTER WHAT! Ivan backs off and says this isn’t over yet! Bullet Bob and The Shooter Scott Armstrong have another showcase and they’re building up some good momentum here this fall. We get a promo from Ricky Steamboat who says that he had some damage from the mist the other night from Muta. He says that he has had some temporary blindness… but in reality he can see… he can see what Muta really stands for. He knows their match at the Bash was for honor but this time… he wants a match for REVENGE! Flyin Brian is in singles action… he has got piss and vinegar in his veins right now and he jumps right up to the microphone to let Rick Rude and Curt Hennig know he wants them… anytime… anywhere… he is fired up… Sting joins his buddy Flyin Brian out here and the crowd is going wild! We now know that Sting will get his shot at the WCW Championship, on October the 27th, live from Chicago when WCW Presents: Halloween Havoc! Sting says he has got to wait some time for this but he knows it will be worth it in the long run because of all the little Stingers out there. He is going to train for this match like never before and take on anyone in his path! The Freebirds win a tag team match and they’ve got DDP and Badstreet in their corner. This big dude looks a little rough around the edges… The Freebirds win the match and then lay into Flyin Brian and call him Cryin Brian! The Freebirds say they are the number one contenders for the tag team titles and good gawd, they are getting their shot come hell or high water! Doom and Teddy Long put over how they are the rightful number one contenders and they need to be getting the shot come Halloween Havoc. We find out that they will be facing the Nasty Boys next week and there will be title implications on the line! Tatanka comes out and looks good in singles competition… he has a lot of momentum right now… we’ll see where he can find himself in the near future. Lex Luger is out here with Harley Race and Kama. He notes that his match with Steamboat may have some controversy but the result is the same no matter what… Lex Luger is the champion. Sting… well Sting climbed the ranks… in an auspicious way… a way without honor or respect… unlike the way Lex Luger did to not only become the number one contender but the true, undisputed… WCW World Champion. Sting… you now have your shot… but more importantly, you’ve got time… you’ve got time to think Sting… is this worth it? Is it worth you sacrificing yourself… your career…. Your knee… the hopes and dreams of all the little Stingers… and most importantly… our friendship? Why would you try to ruin this bond that you and I have had for YEARS… and TRY TO TAKE THE WORLD TITLE FROM ME! Sting you’re jealous… you always have been… you always will be. I am the Total Package. The Undsiputed Champion… you are nothing but a challenger… I thought you were my friend but you have stabbed me in the back too many times… this time is stuck and now it is time I make you fill the STING of betrayal! Crush vs Tonga is our main event… we of course got the Samoans and Demolition at ringside. This one is hard hitting - both men don’t give two shits…The Samoans are sans Gary Hart who we hear pre-tell has been removed as their manager… this opens up the door for our big moment to finish things off when Demolition are drawn to the back by Samu and Fatu only to be ambushed by AFA AND SIKA! No they aren’t wrestling but they have these heavy samoan canes that they hammer them with. Crush looks out there and sees what’s going on… that opens the door for Tonga to LOW BLOW Crush and he goes down… his head is between the ropes and here comes Afa with the cane… he cracks his face with the cane and the fans gasp! Crush goes down… Tonga covers and the Samoans get the win. Samu, Fatu, Tonga, Afa, and Sika line up in the ring and point to the sky. (Camera cuts to the ramp…. Paul E is strutting in his suit, phone in hand. Rude and Hennig flank him, arms crossed, smug as hell. Crowd boos immediately. Paul E smirks and waves them on.) Paul E: “Ladies and gentlemen… your worst nightmare has arrived. You thought you were safe. You thought that corporate America wouldn’t let a guy like me back in the door. Well, let me tell you something about billion-dollar companies like Turner Broadcasting… everybody’s got a price, and I paid it! I greased the palms of the suits in Atlanta, lined the pockets of the people who matter, and now Paul E Dangerously is BACK in WCW — not to compete… but to DESTROY!” (He paces, points to the camera.) Paul E: “You see, this company… this so-called World Championship Wrestling… has been run by the same bunch of so-called heroes for years. Sting, Steamboat, Luger, Nikita… dinosaurs! And the fans eat it up because they don’t know any better. But here’s the truth: I didn’t come back to join this company. I came back to bankrupt this damn company! To bleed it dry, to tear it apart piece by piece, and to rebuild it in my image… an image of power, of dominance, of RAVISHING greatness, of PERFECTION.” (He gestures to Rude and Hennig.) Paul E: “Let me introduce you to my Dangerous Alliance. First, the man every woman wants and every man wishes he could be… the Ravishing One… Rick Rude. And the man who will out-wrestle, out-class, and outshine every so-called technician in WCW history… Curt Hennig! Together, we’re not just a faction… we are an army. An unstoppable, ruthless machine that will chew up and spit out every single pretender in this company!” (Rude steps up, oozing arrogance.) Rick Rude: “Cut the music, cut the applause. All you women out there, don’t be jealous just because I’m standing next to Paul E instead of you tonight. You’re lookin’ at the man who’s gonna put any title he wants exactly where it belongs — around the waist of the Ravishing One. And when I’m done, all your heroes will be flat on their backs, lookin’ up at perfection.” (Hennig sneers, takes the mic.) Curt Hennig: “You’re looking at the PERFECT wrestler. I came here to prove what the world already knows: nobody in WCW can hold a candle to me. Not Steamboat, not Pillman, not Nikita — none of them. I can beat any man in this company any day of the week, and with Paul E in our corner, we’re going to do it in style. WCW wanted me as a free agent? Too late. I chose the Alliance. I chose to take over.” (Paul E snatches the mic back, his eyes wild.) Paul E: “And here’s the part you people don’t understand — we’re just getting started. Tonight was the first shot. But tomorrow, next week, next month — we’re going to carve a path through every single so-called superstar in WCW. Steamboat, Z-Man, the Rockers, Doom, whoever thinks they stand in our way — consider this your death warrant. Because the Dangerous Alliance isn’t here to play fair… we’re here to END this company! WCW is finished — long live the Dangerous Alliance!” (Rude flexes, Hennig smirks, Paul E holds up the cell phone like a trophy as they walk off to nuclear heat.) WCW World-Wide Announcers: Eric Bischoff & Diamond Dallas Page Ron Simmons (w/ Teddy Long) - Simmons wins with a thunderous spinebuster. DDP line: “That’s not just a win, Bischoff, that’s a statement! Simmons is built like money, and he’s ready to cash in.” Shawn Michaels (w/ Marty Jannetty) Michaels wins with a superkick into a flying elbow drop. DDP line: “Look at that kid strut — Marty better watch out, or he’ll be Shawn’s warm-up act forever!” Scott Hall (TV Champion) = Hall wins with the Diamond Death Drop. DDP line: “Nobody gets up from that! But Hall better keep his mouth shut about Rude and Hennig, or he’s gonna end up in traction.” Freebirds (w/ Badstreet & DDP) - Hayes pins Maggs after a DDT with Badstreet running interference. DDP line: “Ha! That’s Badstreet, baby! The Birds are flying high, and the tag belts are comin’ home real soon.” Sid Vicious in a handicap match. Sid stacks both men, powerbombs the top guy, and covers for the pin. DDP line: “Oh my gawd, Bischoff! Sid just wrecked two guys like they were crash-test dummies — and Havoc’s supposed to stop that? Forget it!”

Could I get bill kazmaier, Anthony Durante and Gary wolf?

Clash of the Champions XII “Fall Brawl: Mountain Madness” – Asheville, NC – Civic Center – September 5, 1990 BADSTREET BRAWL The Nasty Boys vs The Freebirds w/ DDP is our opening contest… and boy do these guys go all out and leave it out there for the fans. The crowd is going wild for the brawl as they go all over the ringside area. We get some weapons involved… chairs… and a table spot where Sags gets pushed off the apron on top of it. Hayes and Garvin have a small niche here with the fans but this is the Nasty Boys style of match and they begin to take over. They isolate Jimmy Jam and hit a double gordbuster! Hayes is trying to get away and then when DDP gets up on the apron he gets rocked for his pleasure and goes into the guardrail, overselling like crazy. Hayes is trying to crawl to the back but the Nasty Boys grab him and start walking him back to the ring… wait a moment… what the hell is that… it looks like a Batman Villian… this monster of a guy walks out in a full body suit and a mask that his pony tail is sticking out from. This guy's gotta be about 6’5”, 300 pounds. The Nasty Boys turn around, and Knobbs runs at him but this guy nails him with a clothesline on the ramp! Sags comes up and he gets kicked right in the skull! This big guy hoists him up and puts him in the ring… Hayes gets in, picks up Sags and DDT! 1….2….3! The Freebirds get the win… DDP celebrates with them… then we hear them say that THIS IS BADSTREET BABY! TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP Big Josh w/ El Gigante vs Scott Hall © is up next and the TV Title is on the line. Scott Hall gives him everything he’s got and Big Josh does the same. These two have got some in-ring prowess and actually put on a good contest. Hall is able to get some heat but then Josh is going through some offense and Hall bumps around… but it just isn’t enough. Scott Hall flips some kind of switch and he just beats the shit out of him. A couple of really stiff shots and Hall gets control…. Then sets him up for the Diamond Death Drop! Hall just flicked something inside himself… and he got the win. Hall hoists up the television title… Gigante attempts to get in the ring but Hall backs off up the ramp… NUMBER ONE CONTENDER RUSSIAN CHAIN MATCH! Sting vs Nikita Koloff w/ Ivan Koloff is out next contest… this one has been building for months and it comes to head here. This Russian Chain match just has the two combatants chained together… no turnbuckles or anything else… it is a straight fight - chained together - pinfall or submission… violence is what this one is all about and we get some juice early from both men. Nikita is dawning a crimson mask while Sting has got a gash on the side of his head and his bleach blonde hair is blood-stained. Both men use the chain… they use power moves… both sell like their life is on the line… in the end it is Ivan who tries to get involved. Nikita is there… he sees Ivan pick up Sting and hold him…. But Nikita says to let him go! Now Ivan and Nikita are arguing… Nikita looks out to the crowd…. Rears back and RUSSIAN SICKLES IVAN! OH MY! The crowd pops for that one… then Nikita kicks him out of the ring… he hits the ropes and goes for a SICKLE on Sting who ducks and dropkicks him into the turnbuckle… Sting then runs and STINGER SPLASH! Nikita stumbles out and then Sting wraps the chain around his arm and hits Nikita with his own Russian Sickle! Sting covers for the 1….2…..3!!! Sting is the NEW NUMBER ONE CONTENDER! The crowd is going apeshit right now. Ivan goes into the ring and after Nikita but Sting pulls him off… this is enough for Nikita to get up and Ivan turns around and gets RAILED by the US Champion! Sting takes off his chain… he puts his hand out. Nikita looks to the crowd… takes his chain off… shakes Sting’s hand and the crowd pops! Nikita raises his arm. Both men are bloodied but it seems like the war is over. Sting and Nikita walk back up the ramp… the crowd is still cheering on the Stinger! Johnny Ace vs Sid Vicious is what we all wanted it to be…a true showcase for this monster that is the master and ruler of the world… Sid Vicious. He handles Ace with eacha nd even takes some of his best shots and doesn’t flinch. Ace is able to get in a little offense but Sid no-sells everything and then just comes back with a flurry. A huge kick to the skull. A big chokeslam into the turnbuckle. Sid even hits him with the helicopter spin… hoists him up and POWERBOMB! Sid with the cover for the 1…2….3! Sid Vicious is big, bad, and dangerous! SIX-MAN TAG Demolition & Crush vs The Samoans w/ Gary Hart is up next and these two teams have got a lot of juice in the tank. Demolition come out to a huge pop from the crowd. They are over in a big way and the Samoans look good coming out… these guys all go through the series and have a good 12-minute match. All six-men get involved. Crush is the star of our show and shows off some good strength and power. Demolition is able to keep the crowd involved and get some nice pops here and there. The Samoans are as vicious as as ever. Gary Hart tries to get involved but he gets absolutely rocked when Demolition send Samu into him. We get some chaos and then the finish with Crush chokeslaming Tonga and getting the 3-count! Gary Hart is trying to make his case but the Samoans all take turns and nail him with headbutts and right hands. The Samoans keep their heat as they walk up the back… this one doesn’t seem to be over. Our next contest comes with a lot of anticipation… JJ Dillon comes out to the ring and here GMC announces the team of Flyin Brian and the Z-Man who come out to a huge pop. Then… no music… no promo… here comes Curt Hennig out of the back on the rampway… he walks down and looks just about as cocky as someone could look. He steps into the ring… Pillman and Zenk are asking where his partner is… Hennig grabs the microphone… Hennig: My partner? Ha… I could take the two of you by myself… I am the perfect wrestler… but I decided to share in the fun… actually, I found a partner… but I’ve also found a manger… ladies and gentlemen… Hennig points to the ramp and O M G! Paul E Dangerously walks out of the back and he has got a slick black suit on and his yuppy mullet is running wild… Paul E comes out and then he points to the back… MY GAWD… RAVISHING RICK RUDE IS HERE! Ravishing Rick Rude has arrived in WCW and Paul E is walking him down to the ring and the crowd is in complete shock. Hennig meets them in the aisleway and they shake hands and share hugs… this was a coup from the beginning… Paul E is working the crowd… Rude looks to be in phenomenal shape… Hennig looks great… here we go! OPEN CONTRACT MATCH Flyin Brian & Z-Man vs Curt Hennig and Rick Rude w/ Paul E This ends up being the match that we hoped it would be… Flyin Brian and the Z-Man make no bones about it when it comes to be surprised by Rude and Paul E. They bring the fight and Rude and Hennig don’t look like they’ve got any ring rust. This one is about 12-minutes and they all give it everything they’ve got… but Hennig and Rude are without question the ones in charge. They work over both men and get the edge… Pillman brings the fight in a big way but it is just not enough with both of these guys. Rude’s power is unmatched… Hennig’s technical skills are unequal but Pillman and Zenk bring some speed and aerial attacks. The finish sees Pillman and Rude take the fight outside the ring… Rude hoists him up and drops him right on his throat on the guardrail. Inside the ring… Zenk looks to go up top but Rude pushes him off for Hennig to hit a nasty clothesline. Hennig picks up Zenk and hits him with a PERFECT-PLEX as it is called for the 1…2…3! Eric Bichoff has the unenviable task of going and meeting Paul E with Rude and Hennig on the rampway…JJ Dillon is there…. Paul E doesn’t mince words… Paul E: What am I doing here?!? What are you doing here Dillon? Huh? I was in the offices of Turner Broadcasting this week because I couldn’t get a fair deal in the WCW offices. Everyone I spoke to at the WCW offices wanted nothing to do with my reinstatement… not you… not Jim Ross… not the championship committee… nobody! Well WCW is owned by a corporation… the Turner Broadcasting Company… a billion dollar business… a bunch of yuppies like me running around the CNN center huh? Well I found the ones I needed to and greased their palms and lined their pockets to make sure I was given a fair opportunity… one that was wrongfully taken away from me by that good for nothing Ricky Steamboat and the WCW Board of Directors! I also found two men who have been let down by the forces that be in WCW and Professional Wrestling across the world… together we have made a new Dangerous Alliance that will serve one purpose… the complete destruction of World Championship Wrestling… we will take every title… we will destroy every hero… we will dominate every facet of the sport and you will know… that the Dangerous Alliance RULES WRESTLING. Tremendous heat here on Rick Rude, Curt Hennig, and Paul E. Bichoff can’t get a word in but doesn’t need to as the crowd is really letting them have it. We’ve got more to come here this evening… we’ll be right back! Shawn Michaels & Owen Hart vs Doom w/ Teddy Long This one has been brewing for some time and Doom has already taken two of these guys out and now they have two left. Teddy Long has got Ron Simmons and Butch Reed looking STOUT tonight. These guys look the part and bring the pain. Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart are a fun pairing at this point in their careers… they go move for move with Doom and find some good tag team prowess. We get a lot of double-teaming from both crews and we get to see a lot of tags. It seems as though these four are interchanging every moment… that is until Doom slows it down… they isolate Owen Hart… Michaels continues to try and get in but nothing doing. We see chaos ensue with all four men getting involved but Teddy Long serves his purpose as he causes an issue with Shawn Michaels who goes down and gives him a huge right hand for his pleasure. Inside the ring though… Doom double team Owen and nail him with a huge shoulder breaker! Simmons isn’t done though as he picks him up and does it again! Owen is hurt! Simmons gets the cover while Reed keeps Michaels out of the ring! Doom with the victory and Owen Hart is still down. We see Davey Boy run out… he has got his arm in a sling… Marty comes out and you can tell his arm is hurting… Michaels is screaming at Owen and Davey and then he walks up the aisle… Doom has arrived and completely disrupted the scope of the tag team world here in WCW… what is next for them?!? WCW CHAMPIONSHIP Lex Luger defends the WCW title against Ricky Steamboat in our main event tonight and it has all the glitz and galmour. We get the big entrances from both men… Kama and Race lead Luger to the ring. Steamboat looks to be in tremendous shape and comes out with a huge ovation from the crowd. Ross and Schiavone put over how this could be his night to recapture the WCW World Title. In the ring, we get a solid 10-minutes of early action with Luger playing cat and mouse but it is Luger who doesn’t give Steamboat a chance to lock up. We also see Kama try to get involved and the referee then sends him packing to the delight of the crowd. He threatens to send Race out as well but Race backs up. We then get into more of the meat with the contest… Luger acting as a huge heel and not letting Steamboat get momentum… but when he does it ignites the crowd! In the second 10-minutes of the contest… we see the shift with Steamboat getting some offense going… he is as fast as lightning in that ring and Luger is struggling to keep up. Luger takes a powder out of the ring, and Steamboat not only hits a baseball slide dropkick but comes out and rams the heads of Luger and Race together! Steamboat is rocking right now. He gets Luger back in the ring but it is a nice counter from Luger that sends Steamboat into the middle ropes on his throat and takes control. Luger works the neck and the back and the throat of the dragon and he is looking to finish. The final 10-minutes of the match see Luger in complete control until the Dragon gets ignited. Steamboat is firing with chops and punches and then some DEEEEEP arm drags! Steamboat then hits a nasty flying head scissor takedown and the crowd is rocking. Steamboat goes up top and hits a flying tomahawk chop and Luger goes down to a knee. Steamboat goes to another corner and comes again with a huge chop and Luger goes down! Steamboat is ready to finish and he goes up top… he waits for Luger to get up and Steamboat with a huge high cross body 1…….2……KICK OUT at the last second! Race is sweating like a pig outside the ring… Steamboat goes up to the top again… Luger is in pain and slowly getting up… Race is on the apron and he’s got the referee… WAIT A MINUTE! MUTA! MUTA! MUTA IS HERE! Muta jumps up on the apron and spits the green myst right in Steamboat’s eyes! OMG! Steamboat falls down and nuts himself…. Muta fades into the darkness…. Luger gets up and goes to the ropes and hits a huge SUPERPLEX on Steamboat and gets the cover for the 3-count! The referee is tyring to figure out what is going on… anothe referee heads down to the ring and they are helping Steamboat to the back. Luger is standing in the ring with Race like he had everything under control the entire time… he is walking around the ring with the title… but when he turns around… oh my… STING! STING IS HERE! Sting is in the ring and he looks right at Luger… Luger’s eyes bug out and he is in shock… Sting smiles and says he is coming for the title! Luger swings big but Sting ducks and then hits an atomic drop and Luger goes into Race… Sting then runs for a double clothesline and takes both men out of the ring to the floor! Sting has got the crowd going wild! What a night of action… Sting is the number one contender… Paul E is back with Rude and Hennig… Demolition looks strong with Crush… the Freebirds have got Badstreet on their side… Muta is back and Steamboat had to suffer because of it… Doom is dominant… Sid RULES THE WORLD… WCW is on its way to Halloween Havoc!

I think Vampire should be good to be drafted.... as long as Rey Jr is added as well 😉
