Weekend of March 28th World Championship Wrestling Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan open the show. They run down Clash of the Champions: Sid Vicious retains the WCW World Title over Davey Boy Smith Sting stands tall after the match Curt Hennig retains the United States Title under controversial ruling Road Warriors return and brawl with Doom Rock N Roll Express win the United States Tag Team Titles JR then makes it official: Sting will challenge Sid Vicious for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at SuperBrawl — May 10th Heenan says Sting wants it… but Sid owns it. *** Jesse Ventura is standing in the ring. No music linger. No nonsense. He looks around… lets the crowd settle. He says when he left WCW… it wasn’t because he wanted out. It was business. He went to film a movie. But while he was gone… he kept hearing about what was happening here. Controversy. Chaos. Champions not being decided the right way. He says when the call came to come back… he didn’t just want to return. He wanted control. He says he made it clear: “If I’m coming back… I’m not coming back to watch… I’m coming back to run it.” Crowd reacts. He says WCW agreed. That’s why he is now the Commissioner of WCW. He says part of that job is simple: “You don’t fix a problem by talking about it… you fix it by changing it.” He pauses. Then: “And while I was gone… I didn’t waste my time.” He says after filming wrapped… he stayed in Japan. Not for vacation. For business. He says every night… he sat in arenas… watching wrestling at a level most of the men in this company have never seen. He says: “Different style. Different toughness. Different mentality.” Then he leans forward: “And I made sure that when I came back… I didn’t come back alone.” Crowd buzz builds. He says: “As part of my agreement to become Commissioner… I brought in the best talent I could find anywhere in the world.” Now it hits. “The most dangerous man I’ve ever seen step into a ring.” Pause. “The best tag team in professional wrestling today.” Bigger reaction. “And something… that none of you are prepared for.” He just smirks. “You wanted change?” “You’re gonna get it.” Drops the mic. Walks out. *** Tag Team Match Rock N Roll Express vs Tony Marino & Rick Fargo Quick, clean, fast. Morton and Gibson control the pace from the start. Double dropkick. Quick tags. Finish sees Morton hit a flying crossbody. 1…2…3. After the match — The Freebirds hit the aisle. Hayes is yelling. Garvin looks annoyed. They don’t come down. They just point. This isn’t over. *** Eric Bischoff is backstage trying to get a word with the Dangerous Alliance. Paul E is already mid-sentence when the camera finds him. He’s heated. “—this guy walks in here talking about respect like he owns the place—” Rude is pacing. Hennig is calm, arms folded. Paul E sees the camera. “Yeah, you wanna talk about it? Let’s talk about it.” He leans in. “Ventura… you went to Japan, right?” “Did you see anybody else over there?” He smirks like he knows something. Beat. From off camera— “Yeah… I did.” Ventura steps into frame. No music. No setup. Just there. The tone changes immediately. Paul E straightens up. “I thought we had an understanding…” Ventura doesn’t react. “Oh yeah, Paul E…” “I saw a man who’s got a real problem with you.” Crowd noise faint in the background. Rude shifts. Hennig doesn’t move. Ventura continues: “In fact… I spoke with his representatives.” Paul E takes a step forward. “Now wait a minute—” Ventura cuts him off clean. “No deals.” Beat. “Respect.” He gestures slightly. “I respect Rude.” “I respect Hennig.” “I respect the United States Championship.” Then: “And I respect WCW.” He steps closer. “Which means I’ll do whatever it takes to put the best talent in that ring…” Pause. “…even if it means they get their hands on you.” Silence. Paul E doesn’t have a comeback. That’s important. Ventura just looks at him for a second… then walks off. No music. No flourish. Camera stays on Paul E. He forces a smile… but it’s not real. Cut back to commentary. *** Singles Match Scott Hall vs Davey Meltzer Hall controls the match from the start with power and patience. Meltzer gets a brief burst of offense, but Hall cuts him off quickly. Razor’s Edge finishes it. Singles Match The Undertaker w/ Paul Bearer vs Chris Allen Allen tries to fire early, but Undertaker no-sells and takes over immediately. Chokeslam, rope walk, then the Tombstone. Bearer raises the urn as the crowd sits uneasy. Tag Team Match Doom vs Mike Samples & Trent Watkins Doom dominate with heavy offense and clean execution. Simmons and Reed never lose control. Spinebuster into the top rope shoulder block ends it. Post-match: Road Warriors hit the aisle. Doom looks up, hesitates, then immediately leave the ring. No confrontation. Television Championship Match Flyin Brian (c) vs Joe Cazana Brian keeps the pace high and never lets Cazana settle. Quick strikes and aerial offense carry the match. Springboard crossbody gets the win. Six-Man Tag Ricky Steamboat, Dustin Rhodes & Nikita Koloff vs Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker, Lt. James Earl Wright & The Mountie The babyfaces control most of the match with steady, physical offense. The heels get moments, but never sustain anything. Steamboat finishes it with a flying crossbody and stares into the camera afterward. Singles Match Sting vs Rick Ryder Sting controls from the start with pace and power. Ryder gets a quick moment, but it doesn’t last. Stinger Splash into the Scorpion Deathlock ends it. Sting holds the lock a second longer, then looks straight into the camera. He wants Sid. Dangerous Alliance Paul E says nobody has earned anything. Rude says Dustin is next. Hennig says nothing — just holds the belt. Main Event Sid Vicious (c) w/ Harley Race vs Trent Knight Sid dominates and ends it with the Powerbomb. 1…2…3. Sid stays in the ring. Sting comes out. They lock eyes. No contact. JR: “SuperBrawl is coming.”

5. Rejoin the 1991 project and run the UWF with Herb - I will help with some talent and I am sure others would throw you some guys.

It was written in the stars. Tito can hang though.... Flair is going to get all he can handle and more!

WCW Clash of the Champions March 1991 Tony Schiavone and Eric Bischoff welcome everyone to a huge night. They talk about the fallout from WrestleWar… the United States Title controversy… Sid’s destruction of Owen Hart… and the growing instability in WCW. Tony then shifts tone. He says WCW officials have taken action. Beginning tonight… a special authority will oversee wrestling operations to ensure fairness and order. Before he can say more… A limousine is shown arriving outside the arena. The camera catches snakeskin boots stepping onto the pavement. Cut to commercial. The mystery hangs in the air. Opening Contest Brad Armstrong & Marty Jannetty vs The Orient Express w/ Mr. Fuji A fast, technical opener designed to immediately energize the building. Tanaka and Diamond are sharp early, isolating Jannetty with quick tags and stiff strikes. Fuji shouts constant instructions from ringside, slowing Marty’s attempts to build momentum. Jannetty survives with athletic counters and desperation escapes before finally making the hot tag. Brad Armstrong enters with confidence — deep arm drags, clean dropkicks, smooth pacing. The crowd senses his momentum. The finish comes when Kato swings wildly with a high roundhouse. Brad ducks, hooks the leg and spins him down into a tight Side Russian Leg Sweep. 1…2…3. A crisp opening statement from two rising babyfaces. Handicap Match Flyin Brian & El Gigante vs The Border Patrol & The Mountie Numbers overwhelm Gigante early as the Border Patrol swarm him with clubs and forearms. The Mountie plays cat-and-mouse — darting in, cheap-shotting, retreating. Pillman becomes the difference maker. Flying forearms. Springboard crossbody. Constant movement forces the heels to adjust. Gigante absorbs punishment and slowly takes control, throwing bodies aside with raw power. The crowd rises as Gigante lifts Pillman onto his shoulders. Brian launches off like a missile — flying splash onto Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker. 1…2…3. Mountie retreats in outrage, screaming about the upcoming handicap stipulation. Tag Team Contest Pretty Wonderful vs The Young Pistols Nine minutes of sharp tag psychology. Smothers and Steve Armstrong push a frantic pace early, forcing Roma and Orndorff into uncomfortable exchanges. Pretty Wonderful regroup and slow things down with deliberate double teams. Orndorff grinds Steve in the corner while Roma distracts the referee. Momentum swings back and forth until Roma lands a sudden knee lift that stuns Smothers. Orndorff wastes no time — hooks him and drives him down with a piledriver. 1…2…3. They’re clicking. Dangerous contenders. WCW United States Tag Team Championship The Freebirds (c) vs Rock N Roll Express The building is electric before the bell. This is speed vs chaos. Morton and Gibson overwhelm early with quick tags and double-team dropkicks. Hayes slows things down with eye rakes and rope leverage. The match explodes midway through. During a frantic scramble, Hayes becomes tangled in the ropes after a missed charge. His leg and arm get twisted awkwardly. Morton immediately unloads with rapid-fire right hands. The crowd roars. Garvin storms in and chases Morton off — but Gibson cuts Garvin off with a flying forearm. Garvin turns his attention to Gibson… but Morton returns and starts hammering Hayes again. Garvin goes after Morton… Gibson circles back and now he’s stomping Hayes. Absolute confusion. Hayes finally frees himself and begins screaming at Garvin for not helping him. Garvin backs off in frustration. Morton and Gibson seize the moment. Simultaneous double dropkick on Hayes. Morton hooks the leg. 1…2…3. The arena explodes. Rock N Roll Express are champions again. Freebirds argue on the floor — cracks forming. Tag Team Grudge Match Rick Rude & Scott Hall w/ Paul E Dangerously vs Nikita Koloff & Dustin Rhodes w/ Dusty Rhodes Heavy, emotional contest. Hall and Dustin trade impressive power exchanges that hint at a future rivalry. Rude and Nikita brawl violently with zero finesse. Paul E constantly interferes until Dusty cuts him off at a key moment. Rude attempts the Rude Awakening — Nikita blocks and fires back with the Russian Sickle. 1…2…3. Huge statement victory. Rude is livid. This feud is far from over. Tony and Eric are back at ringside. Tony says the man seen arriving earlier has requested time to address the fans. Music hits. The crowd buzzes. Out walks Jesse Ventura. He is introduced as the new Commissioner of WCW. Ventura wastes no time. He says there has been too much controversy… too many questionable finishes… too many people trying to manipulate championships. He says tonight he will call it right down the middle. No favoritism. No politics. No excuses. He then makes it clear: The Iron Man Match WILL produce a definitive ruling on the United States Championship. Ventura takes a seat at ringside. The tension is immediate. WCW United States Championship 30-Minute Commercial-Free Iron Man Match Curt Hennig (c) vs Ricky Steamboat Steamboat earns a count-out fall. Hennig scores the only pinfall with the PerfectPlex. Paul E interference gives Steamboat a DQ fall. Thirty minutes expire. Steamboat has more falls. The building explodes. Steamboat believes he has won. Paul E is screaming. Hennig is furious. Officials argue. Then Ventura stands. He slowly enters the ring. The arena quiets. Ventura takes the microphone. He says championships in professional wrestling are meant to be decided by pinfall or submission. He says count-outs and disqualifications may win falls… …but they do not prove superiority. He rules that because Curt Hennig scored the only decisive pinfall… he remains WCW United States Champion. The reaction is volcanic. Boos rain down. Steamboat is stunned. Paul E smirks. Hennig looks relieved but not proud. Ventura hands him the championship. Heat transfers instantly. Ventura has authority… and he has already made enemies. Special Attraction Sting vs Diamond Dallas Page Energetic, slightly comedic tone. DDP shows arrogance and surprising athleticism, even scoring a brief near fall after a diamond cutter tease. Sting regains control with raw intensity. Stinger Splash. Scorpion Deathlock. Submission. Sting doesn’t celebrate long. He points toward the entrance. He wants Sid. WCW World Tag Team Championship Doom (c) vs Open Challenge Teddy Long demands challengers. The arena lights dim. IRON MAN hits. The Road Warriors return. The reaction is nuclear. What follows is pure violence. Simmons spinebusters Hawk through the ropes. Animal press-slams Reed into officials. The match dissolves into a wild arena brawl. Double disqualification. No winners. But the tag division has new monsters. WCW World Heavyweight Championship Sid Vicious (c) vs Davey Boy Smith Davey wrestles the match of his life. Kama interferes — Jim Neidhart cuts him off. Harley Race moves toward the ring. The crowd explodes. OWEN HART RETURNS. Owen tackles Harley and throws wild punches. Davey nearly powerslams Sid. But the distraction lingers. Sid explodes with a massive Powerbomb. 1…2…3. Sid retains. He drags Davey up for another. The arena erupts again. Sting hits the ring. Wild brawl. Sid retreats. Sting stands tall as the show fades out. WCW feels ready to explode.

Good show this week. The Pretty in Pink stuff right away gave things some life and made the battle royal feel important. I liked the little cracks in the group — nice simple storytelling that adds intrigue. The match itself moved well and didn’t overstay. Tony Williams came out looking really good. Hotbody winning feels like the smart step. Bring on the Armory show.

WCW will pick up Abdullah.

Really liked this show. It felt big and lively the whole way through, with a good mix of styles and personalities on the card. The six-man elimination was a highlight — Dynamite surviving gave the match real purpose. Roberts over Warrior was another strong call. The back-to-back DDT finish made him feel genuinely dangerous and elevated the feud. I also liked the Twin Towers winning the tag titles in a slightly underhanded way — that fit them perfectly. The Earthquake vs Haynes match delivered exactly what you’d want from two heavy hitters, and the street fight had the right level of chaos. Murdoch decking Fernandez and the Lawler court brawl added character moments that made the show feel unpredictable. Celebrity involvement was used well without overshadowing the wrestlers. Santana’s promo gave the main event emotional weight, and his title win came across as a satisfying payoff to end the night. You're presence is going to be greatly missed. Thanks for all you've done to keep us going!

I had an idea of running g Georgia with the Von Erich’s and slowly turning them heel and making them preppy Texas studs to against Georgias own Tommy Rich and others

You're always welcome in my discussions!

Davey stands tall pointing at the championship. Clash of the Champions is next.

Here's 10.... definitely more spread out. Still some fun groups here... especially if you open the trades up right away. Group 6 would be my preference with this one... although 8 also has some fun pieces.

I'd go with 4 - lots of potential there. Outside of Mil Mascaras who I loathe - I could find something for everyone. 7 is also sneaky. I can run some more simulations if anyone's interested with more promotions. Out to 10 would be interesting.

So i did a fantasy draft - ranked everyone and did it completely random - its January 1983 - which of these promotions would you want to run?

Probably looking at 2-3 more people - if we can get 2 or 3 more people we could do this this weekend or next week.
