Really interesting show with a lot of questions left to answer after Winnipeg. I can't wait to see who Blackwell wrestles and to see how this effects Morrow and Blackwell's relationship. I think we all love a good bounty angle but I'm hoping someone puts one out on Gagne! He is so annoying. Great job with his whole persona. I think the Glamour Boys should have just been more respectful. lol. Interesting angle which is really going to get one team over. Dream Machine-Mr. Olympia is a cool angle.

So many cool angles right now in the AWA! I was really thinking the entire time I was reading this show was that we were going to get a new TV champ. I even thought this after Oliver knocked the sunglasses off of Adias. Then the great twist... Crusher Blackwell. Nice booking! Awesome promos with Zhukov and Smirnoff... Mother Russian talk always sells tickets. I like the opening angle with Kokina for Kerry. I wonder where Kerry will be in a year from now in Dawn of War. He could really do it all for you. This is going to be fun. The Wild Ones are perfect HEAT. They are like Greg Gagne in your AWA world. So is Lanny Poffo. You are getting so much out of wrestlers that others have struggled with. Awesome job!

Those were some very exciting tv shows. I would have died to see matches like Jimmy Garvin vs Super D, Jimmy Golden vs Manny Fernandez, Tom Prichard vs Bob Orton and Al Perez vs Shaska Whatley all in the same week. I am also really enjoying the Starrcade Series matches.

Great week for PCW. I really enjoy when you do your interviews. You are really good at them and they add a lot to your show.

EPISODE #4 SEPTEMBER 2, 1988 The show starts with a video tape replay of the ending of last week’s show where we had complete chaos in the Ric Flair-Lex Luger World Title Match. From Woman ringing the bell in order to trick everyone into believing that time had expired to referee Pee Wee Anderson using the instant replay to the low blow by Ric Flair after the restart of the match, this was action packed. The real story here was when Dan Spivey and Arn Anderson held Sting down as Flair urged Luger join the Horsemen and attack Sting and Luger attacked Flair instead! Now we get the normal intro to World Championship wrestling! Tony Schiavone: Hi everybody. Welcome back to World Championship Wrestling. Tony Schiavone, Jim Ross and David Crockett ringside here with World Championship Wrestling, the major league of professional wrestling. As you just saw from last week, you can always expect the unexpected here in World Championship Wrestling and you can expect more of the same this week. Jim, I’ve been told you have a big announcement. Jim Ross: That’s right Tony. World Championship Wrestling will be holding its first Clash of Champions since returning to the Superstation on Monday, October 17th. This event, titled Fall Brawl will be held at the Bayfront Center in St. Petersburg, Florida. Already signed for that night will be the crowning of the new WCW United States Tag Team Champions. David Crockett: That is going to be a great night right here on the Superstation. As for our show tonight, you won’t want to miss a minute. We have the debut of the Latin Connection, Mando Guerrero and Ricky Santana. We will see if Black Bart can put his money where his mouth is as he will face the up-and-coming Ron Simmons. The Rock n Roll Express will be making their in-ring return to WCW. We also have 3 huge title matches for you tonight. Ted Dibiase and Dr. Death will be putting their WCW World Tag Team Titles on the line against the Lightening Express. Tom Zenk will try and defend the WCW World Television Title against Rip Rogers with Ms. Terri. Also, the United States Title will be on the line as Dan Spivey defends against Kendall Windham. The Horsemen will be here. The Texas Outlaws will be here. What a night this is going to be and let’s get it started. MATCH #1 The Latin Connection (Mando Guerrero & Ricky Santana) defeat Allen Martin & Bill Taub by submission when Mando locked on the Gurri Special on Martin after many questionable tactics and illegal double teams. After the bout The Latin Connection joins David Crockett where he is disappointed in their in-ring approach. Mando Guerrero: How dare you David Crockett tell a Guerrero what to do in the ring. I come from the greatest wrestling family in the history of the sport. I watch you praise people like Brad Armstrong as a great second-generation wrestler and how wrestling is in his blood. Around the world his name means nothing. They’ve never heard of an Armstrong but ask them about the Guerreros and they can tell you the stories of greatness right away. Now I have taken Ricky Santana under my wing. I am going to teach him the art of the sport… the way to keep your opponents down …. How to inflict unbearable pain … all in a legal way of course and to ultimately get the win…. Arriba! David Crockett: Not sure we saw any legal moves tonight, but you did get the win. Ricky Santana: I have been warned about you David…. About WCW in general. I’ve been told that you are not so welcoming to the Latin people. I’ve been told that we will have to take down teams like the Lightening Express and the Young Guns just to get an ounce of respect. Trust me, that will not be a problem. Latin fans… don’t worry… you now have a team you can be proud of… we are like the great Bandidos of the past. We will take what we want by any means necessary. David… you can’t stop this! Santana then starts speaking Spanish and David has no idea what is going on. Eventually, he just says that the Latin Connection is as they say they are… Bandidos who were trying to steal the show. COMMERCIAL BREAK When we come out of break, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Dan Spivey and Woman are with David Crockett to talk about the chaotic ending we saw last week. Ric Flair: I’ve come to live by one motto, Survival! Two matches with Lex Luger… two times I leave as the WCW World Champion. I’ve never claimed to play this game by the rules. I play it the Ric Flair way and if I use a low blow, I use a low blow. The only thing that matters is that the Nature Boy leaves with the World Title. Now Lex Luger… Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…. Shame on me! We’ve given you two chances to join the greatest organization in the world of sports today and twice you’ve made your choice. Now, this is a dog-eat-dog world! It is now our job to rid wrestling of Lex Luger. Wooooo! Arn Anderson: You tell um Natch! Now as for you Sting…. You keep sticking your nose where it don’t belong and as you learned last week… it’s not good for your health when you do that. Keep it up Sting and your career will be a very short career. Dan Spivey: Dusty Rhodes…. For some reason you go around here thinking that you need to solve everyone’s problem. Well, I got news for you… you got your own big problem… A 6’10, 300 pound problem. You claim to be the American Dream… the man of the people. There’s just one problem with that. I am the United States Champion. And as Ric has taught me, to be the man, you got to beat the man. Dusty… I’m waiting. Why don’t you try beat me and be a man for once in your life. MATCH #2 Ron Simmons defeats Black Bart when a man with a partial black mask, a cowboy hat, chaps and a bull rope hits the ring (Jimmy Jack Funk) makes his WCW debut and attacks Simmons. Before Simmons takes too much of a beating, Dusty Rhodes, Dick Murdoch and Stan Hansen hit the ring and after a few Bionic Elbows and some big slams, the ring is cleared and they go to the aid of Ron Simmons. Tony Schiavone really hypes up Ron Simmons to help get him over by focusing on the idea that if Dusty and the Texas Outlaws (Murdoch & Hansen) come to his aid, they must really think a lot of this youngster. It also served to help Dusty and The Outlaws stop some chatter that maybe the Nation of Domination is right and there is some amount of racism about Dusty and the Good Ol Boys he is hanging around with. When David Crockett informs Dusty Rhodes that the attacker was Jimmy Jack Funk, a relative of Terry Funk, Dusty completely lost it!!! COMMERCIAL BREAK Before our next match, Sting is at the podium with David Crockett. David Crockett: I’m sure you heard Ric Flair and Arn Anderson our here earlier and they are not too happy about how you got involved last week in Flair’s World Title defense against Lex Luger. Sting: David… for far too long in this sport, the Horsemen have been having a party. The only rules they follow are ones that help them. Well, as we saw last week, this is about to change. Last week, when Woman tried to cheat Lex out of a fair match, I made sure to come out and crash their party… and guess what…. The Stinger is going to keep on crashing your Horsemen Parties! Arn you talk a good game but I haven’t heard you say a word unless you’ve been surrounded by Flair and Spivey! Suddenly Lex Luger comes out and thanks Sting for helping him last week and Sting also thanks him the help once the situation got a little bit hairy. David Crockett: I think you guys are really onto something. The best way to beat the Horsemen is to make sure you got each other’s backs. MATCH #3 The Rock n Roll Express beat Larry Cheatum & Keith Steiborn with a Double Drop Kick on Cheatum After the bout, the Rock n Roll Express join David Crockett David Crocket: Ricky Morton… Robert Gibson…. The Rock n Roll Express are back in the WCW. I can’t tell you guys how much the fans have been asking about you and now you’re here! Ricky Morton: Let me tell you something David… No matter where we went, people always asks us when are you coming back to WCW, the greatest wrestling organization in the world. Now that we’re back, we wonder why we ever left. There’s a lot of great teams here but we plan on being the best. Robert Gibson: David, it’s great to be back in WCW and to be real honest with you, after hearing the news that there will be new United States Tag Team Title crowned at Fall Brawl, we are even more excited to be here. We would love to be the first team in a long time to hold them belts. What do you think everybody…. The Rock n Roll Express with a title around our waist seems pretty good to me! The fans give a big ovation as David takes us to break. COMMERCIAL BREAK MATCH #4 WCW WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH Ted Dibiase & Dr. Death Steve Williams © vs The Lightening Express A few interesting things here included the fact that Dibiase and Williams got as much of an ovation as the Lightening Express. This even continued after Dibiase refused a handshake from Tim Horner and hit him with a big elbow instead. The match had a few momentum changes but the champions were in firm control of the match; proving to everyone that they were the best team in WCW! Unfortunately, the champions showcase was short lived as Gary Hart and his beast made their first attempt at riding WCW of the champions. Jim Ross: Watch Out! Here comes Abdullah the Butcher and Tarzan Goto. Wow, look at this. Dibiase and Dr. Death were ready for them. These four behemoths are sizing each other up in the center of the ring. WHAM… the brawl is on! The fans get a good 2-3 minutes of chaos before Gary Hart sees that he will not be taking Dibiase and Dr. Death out of wrestling just yey, so he calls Abullah and Tarzan out of the ring to fight another day! The champs are standing in the center of the ring screaming at Hart and daring his beast to come back for more but Hart simply gives a wry smile and walks away. This brawl only served to get the fans more behind the champs even though their tactics in tonight’s match were clearly those of the heel team. Dibiase and Dr. Death join David Crockett after the chaos. Dr. Death: We told you Gary Hart… there’s no getting rid of us. I think it’s time you run back to Louisiana and tell Sheik Adnan that you can’t get the job done. Ted Dibiase: Here’s the thing… Sheik Adnan paid us both a great deal of money for one reason and one reason only. We are simply the best. Gary Hart… It’s going to take a lot more than two Neanderthals to put us out of wrestling. Abdullah and Tarzan Goto… you two are just too stupid to know that you’re being used. It doesn’t matter though… the real problem is that snake, Gary Hart. I mean what kind of human being takes money to put someone else out of a job… and worse than that…. You can’t even do it yourself. Maybe it’s you Gary Hart that needs to watch your back! COMMERCIAL BREAK Before our TV Title Match between Tom Zenk © and Rip Rogers, Missy Hyatt and Eddie Gilbert are at the podium ranting about how WCW got it all wrong and that it is Eddie who deserves the TV Title shot and not Rip Rogers. David Crockett gives it right back to Gilbert when he says that the WCW Board of Directors might take him seriously if he would stop walking around here with that defunct Mid-South TV Title and calling himself the real champion. MATCH #5 WCW WORLD TV TITLE MATCH Tom Zenk © vs Rip Rogers with Ms. Terri A few interesting things of note here. First, Ms. Terri walked right over to the Z-Man before the match as if to give him the chance to give her a good look-over. Rip Rogers seemed to notice this and wasn’t too happy with his well-built valet. As for the match, Zenk was able to control about 60 percent of the action but with his dirty tactics, Rogers had quite a good number of chances. At one point, Rip Rogers tossed Zenk to the floor and went out after him as Ms. Terri went to the apron to distract ref Pee Wee Anderson. A few good whips into the ring post has Zenk in some serious trouble. Rogers gets ready to roll Zenk into the ring and go for the win when Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt strut out to the ring. Jim Ross is real concerned for Zenk now! WHAM… Eddie Gilbert just clobbered Rip Rogers in the face with the Mid-South Title and then he rolls Rogers into the ring. Gilbert next drags Zenk in and places him on top of Rogers. Pee Wee Anderson turns around just in time to make the 3 count! Ms. Terri wasn’t sure what happened but then sees Missy Hyatt pointing at herself as then Rip Rogers on the ground and its like a lightbulb goes off in her head and she takes off after Missy. Missy hightails it to the locker room and nobody is exactly sure what happened behind the curtain. COMMERCIAL BREAK MAIN EVENT MATCH UNITED STATES TITLE MATCH Dan Spivey © vs Kendall Windham Again, a few interesting things occurred in this match. First, Woman did not accompany Spivey to the ring which made Tony Schiavone guess that the tryout period for the Four Horseman was still going on. Next, it was during the match that Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Woman came out to watch the match. They started viewing from way back by the curtain but gradually made their way to ringside. Give Spivey some credit here. He knew he was being watch and he laid the boots to the young Windham. Eventually Spivey seems to put an end to the match after the big man hits the powerbomb! As he gets ready to pin Windham where he Ric Flair Ric Flair: Woooaaa Woooaaa Woooaaa… what are you doing! Horseman finish off their opponents for good not just for the match! It’s time for another powerbomb! A sick smile comes over Spivey… WHAM…. Another powerbomb. Arn Anderson tells him one more! Jim Ross is pleading with Spivey to stop! Tony Schiavone is excited as here comes Sam Houston… Windham’s tag team partner. Flair lets Spivey know Houston is coming. WHAM… Big kick by Spivey on Houston. Spivey lifts up Houston and connects with a big powerbomb on Houston. Spivey puts his boot on the chest of Kendall Windham as the ref completes the three count. Now Flair, Arn and Woman head to the ring where they toss the Young Guns to the floor and they all shake hands with Spivey. Tony Schiavone: Folks, while we are out of time, it seems like we have just seen Dan Spivey officially welcomed into the Horseman. We will have a more definitive answer to that topic next week. For Jim Ross and David Crockett, I’m Tony Schiavone, we’ll see you next week right here on World Championship Wrestling.

I think all the new talent coming into the AWA is going to make for some great new feuds. I think the highlight here for me was hearing Boris and Alexis explain why they are coming after Nikita. I always found wrestling heels of the 80's to just be better. I guess that is because they were never worried about being politically correct. Buzz-Carlos is going to be real wild! I see Larry Z thinks there is no competition in the AWA... wonder he is going to step up... Not sure if Kerry has anyone lined up but that could be interesting. The AWA giving 2 nights away for the price of one... are they just being nice or feeling some pressure as certain promotions seem to want to grow quickly. Maybe now finally after 4.5 years we are at the Dawn of War!

I really enjoyed this show. One of the reasons is that I am able to learn a lot about a world I know nothing about. Just looking at the card and seeing so many submission wins, I realize how different this style is. In the world I am used to, I rarely remember too many submissions in big matches as it often ruined the loser who would now be seen as week.

Really good week of shows! Some very creative jobber names added to the entertainment level. I think the Starrcade Series adds a lot of interest to your TV matches. Can't wait to see who is in the finals. I thought for a moment that Cooley might get the upset! JYD vs DeBeers is a highlight of our game! I love this feud. Also love Harley in the Horsemen. It makes perfect sense!

Very realistic shows! Can't wait to see where you go with the Steiners.

Awesome event... one of my favorites of the year. I think the best moment of the night came right at the start... I could only imagine the explosion from the fans when Ricky Steamboat showed up! Also loved seeing Billy Jack attack Albright to help Windham get the win. I knew very little of PNW Wrestling when I was a kid but the magazines sure loved Billy Jack so I guess so did I. For the second night, I was really interested in the Bret Hart-Bam Bam Match and it sure delivered. I wonder if the Hit Man can recover. Hennig and the Undertaker make some team! Great job with this show.

I am fine with Hebner as a ref to WWF

EPISODE #3 AUGUST 26, 1988 The show starts with a video tape of Sheik Adnan Al Kassie and Gary Hart in some parking lot. Sheik Adnan: I need you to do me a favor. A favor I will pay you handsomely for. Gary Hart: Sheik… what’s the favor and what’s the amount. Sheik: I need you to rid the wrestling world of Ted Dibiase and Dr. Death. They stole 2 million dollars from me and left town. I would do it myself but I don’t have a managerial license in World Championship Wrestling and they don’t seem to eager to give me one. I think that is why they ran there as they thought I couldn’t get to them in Ted Turner’s World. Gary Hart: I’m listening, but you need to tell me exactly how much this means to you. Sheik: If you put those two thieves out of wrestling forever, I will give you exactly what I gave them. Gary Hart with a stern look of approval shakes hands with Sheik. Now we get the normal intro to World Championship wrestling! Tony Schiavone: Hi everybody. Welcome back to World Championship Wrestling. Tony Schiavone, Jim Ross and David Crockett ringside here with World Championship Wrestling, the major league of professional wrestling. As you just saw, Sheik Adnan Al Kassie has hired Gary Hart to rid professional wrestling of Ted Dibiase and Dr. Death, the WCW World Tag Team Champions. Jim Ross: Not saying that I believe in placing bounties on the heads of wrestlers but I can’t say that I’m the least bit surprised. I mean they did run out of Mid-South with 2 million of the Sheik’s dollars. TS: Well, Gary Hart will be here today. So is the Black Bart, Sting, Eddie Gilbert, Ron Simmons, Arn Anderson and listen to this main event. It will be Ric Flair vs Lex luger for the WCW World Title. All this and so much more! Let’s get to the ring. MATCH #1 Black Bart defeats Verlon Biggs with the Texas Trash Compacter (Double Leg Drop from the Top Rope) After the match, Black Bart is with David Crockett. David Crockett: Black Bart… what brings you to WCW? Black Bart: Dagumbit… David Crockett… I’m here because I’m sick and tired of you! David Crockett: Me… what did I do? Black Bart: I’m sick and tired of you playing up to all these youngsters that can’t hold a candle to Black Bart. People like Sam Houston… people like Kendall Windham… and let’s not forget the one I’m most sick of …. Ron Simmons. David Crockett, you made him sound like a World Champion last week. I mean he couldn’t last 5 minutes in the ring with Black Bart. Dagumbit! COMMERCIAL BREAK MATCH #2 Sing defeated Gladiator #1 by Submission with the Scorpion Death Lock After the match, Sting is with David Crockett Sting: COME ON….. COME ON OUT HERE…. COME ON RIC FLAIR…. COME ON ARN ANDERSON…. COME ON “DANGEROUS” DAN SPIVEY…. Those guys all talk a good game but when they aren’t fighting someone 3-1, they aren’t fighting at all. Tonight… Ric Flair… I have a good feeling Lex Luger is going to take the WCW World Title from you just like should have happened a few weeks ago. Arn Anderson… Dan Spivey… I’m just letting you know that you two better mind your own business tonight if you know what’s good for you! COMMERCIAL BREAK MATCH #3 Abdullah the Butcher & Tarzan Goto destroyed Bob Randell and Mark Johnson with the pin coming after the leg drop by Abduallah After the bout Gary Hart and his monsters join David Crockett David Crockett: I’m pretty sure we all saw what went down between you and Sheik Adnan Al Kassie. I just want to get this straight. Are you really here to collect a million dollar bounty on the WCW Tag Team Champions, Ted Dibiase and Dr. Death Steve Williams? Gary Hart: Bounty… No… Not a bounty. Million Dollars… No… Not a Million Dollars. I’m here to collect a 2 million dollar reward for putting Ted Dibiase and Steve Williams out of wrestling for stealing the money from the honorable Sheik Adnan. David Crockett: Honorable? Are you serious? Anyway… are these two Wildman with you now going to be doing the work for you. Gary Hart: Make no mistake about it. Ted Dibiase and Steve Williams are two of the most dangerous men in professional wrestling today. This will not be an easy task, but I have two men with me now that will not be stopped. I have two men with me who feel no pain. I have two men with me who love to dish out some serious injuries. Now Ted Dibiase and Dr. Death can come out here and pretend to act like they aren’t afraid but … Anybody, Anywhere… that says they don’t fear the Almighty Abdoolah the Butchhaa and Tarzann Gooota are either an insane fool or they’re lying to ya! These two men that you see are not ordinary beasts. They are the baddest of the bad. They’re the biggest of the big. They have reigned terror across 4 continents and soon, very soon, they will take care of what I need them to take care of. They are here for a REAson. These monsters will soon make me a very wealthy, wealthy man and Ted Dibiase and Steve Williams … your time has come to an end in professional wrestling. COMMERCIAL BREAK Before our next match, Lex Luger is with David Crockett when Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Woman come out and interrupt. Ric Flair: Woo, woo, woo. Slow down there big fella. You seem to be getting a little ahead of yourself out here... Talking like you’re just going to walk over the Nature Boy and be the World Champion. Lex Luger: I basically did that a few weeks ago Ric until you had all your minions interfere. Ric Flair: Again, big fella… slow down. I will admit that you gave it your all, but we all know who was walking away with the world title. WOOOO! But I’m not out here to talk about the past. I’m here to talk about your future. Now listen up as this is the opportunity of a lifetime. We all know that in the past, the Horseman have been a group of 4… 4 of the very, very best in all of professional wrestling. Right now it is just Arn and myself. We are thinking long and hard who else belongs and after listening to Woman for the past week… we believe that it is you who belongs. Arn Anderson: Now Lex, I know that sometimes it’s best to think things through but we need an answer right now. We have only a few rules in the Horsemen and the #1 rule is Horsemen don’t fight Horsemen. Lex Luger: Let me get this straight… I could be a Horsemen, but I need to say yes, right now and forfeit my world title shot for later tonight. Woman: Come on Lex, it’s for the best. You deserve this! Lex Luger looks like he is pondering the offer when he simple smiles and says “No Thanks” and then tells Ric that he will see him later. Ric Flair is fuming but you can’t tell if it’s because Lex turned him down or because he has to face Luger for the title in just a little while. MATCH #4 Eddie Gilbert (carrying his old Mid-South TV Title Belt) with Missy Hyatt defeats Sweet Brown Sugar with a Hot Shot and a little help from Missy Hyatt. David Crockett: Congratulations on a nice win but I am still unsure why you insist on bringing that Mid-South TV Title to the ring here in WCW. It is a meaningless title as far as WCW is concerned. Missy Hyatt: Was the win ever in doubt David. I mean Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert just doesn’t lose to losers like Sweet Brown Sugar and that is why he is the Television Champion Eddie Gilbert: Nor do I lose to losers like Tom Zenk, but I guess that’s why he never seems to be in the building when I am. I guess that’s why I bring this TV title with me. I mean somebody has to be the face of the franchise. Missy Hyatt: And what a pretty face it is… not like that disgusting Rip Rogers and that BOW WOW of a woman that has been walking around with him… I mean she has more muscles than he does. I think we should start calling her Mr. Terri. David Crockett: Okay that’ll be enough. Let’s take a break. COMMERCIAL BREAK Before our next bout, the WCW World Tag Team Champions, Dr. Death and Ted Dibiase are with David Crockett. David Crockett: I’m guessing you two heard what Gary Hart had to say a little earlier. Ted Dibiase: We did David and this is exactly what we expected. Sheik would try to hire someone to come to his dirty work for him and that person would bring with him some Neanderthals to do his work for him so he wouldn’t have to share the money. Dr. Death: Now David… one thing Gary Hart said that is true is that Abdullah and Goto are two beasts! The problem with beasts are the fact that they have small brains. Those two might be tough in the ring but there is not a chance in the world that those two can get rid of us. Now let’s not forget that we are the WCW World Tag Team Champions, and we are fighting champions. So, Gary Hart… we are not going to waste too much of our time on you. So, Texas Outlaws… Butch Reed and Snowman… Ric Flair and Arn Anderson… Sting and Luger… We don’t care. We take on all challengers! MATCH #5 Arn Anderson defeated Doug West with the Face First Suplex After the match, Hacksaw Butch Reed, Snowman and Kareem Muhammed are with David Crockett where they each take a turn on the mic hyping up the fact that they are here to change the face of professional wrestling and change it to a much darker face, if you get their meaning. They are hell bent on not letting Dusty Rhodes, Dick Murdoch and Stan Hansen continue to get what ever they want from the powers that be just because of who they are or what they look like. COMMERCIAL BREAK Before our next match, Dusty Rhodes is with David Crockett Dusty Rhodes: Now David… the American Dream has seen it all. The American Dream has done it all. Baabbby… the American Dream has been around a long time if you wiiilllll. And nobody and I mean nooooo boooody has ever talked the way Butch Reed has about the Dream. Dick Murdoch… Stan Hansen… and myself are more than willing to GET FROGGY if you know what I mean Hacksaw Butch Reed. So, if you three want to jump… go ahead and jump! The Texas Outlaws will be the ones standing when this is all done. MATCH #6 Ron Simmons defeated Walter Laramy with the middle rope shoulder block. A quick post-match interview still has Ron Simmons very humble but also very confident. He went directly at Black Bart for his comments earlier in the show and would love to face him here on TV next week. COMMERCIAL BREAK MATCH #7 MAIN EVENT MATCH WCW TITLE MATCH Ric Flair © with Woman vs Lex Luger 30 Minute Time Limit Let’s just say that WCW got all it could out of this main event. The action was back and forth for nearly the entire 30 minutes with multiple tv breaks thrown into the mix. Flair did his best to keep the action entertaining for all as he was bumping and selling all over the place. When he had the momentum, he was full of struts and WOOO’s to antagonize the fans. So, let’s get to the chaotic finish that we know is coming. Tony Schiavone announces that there is less than 2 minutes to go. Luger is in control and has Flair in serious trouble. Luger has just hit back to back big clotheslines. Somehow, Flair kicked out on 2 ¾ after each. Luger signals to the fans that the Torture Rack is coming! They explode with anticipation! Luger scoops up Flair onto his shoulders and is pulling with all his might. There is no way Flair can survive! DING DING DING! The bell has sounded! Referee “Pee Wee” Anderson calls for Luger to break the hold and that time has expired! Here comes Sting! His is screaming to Pee Wee Anderson that time did not in fact run out and that it was Woman who ran over and rang the bell! Pee Wee is really confused as Flair grabs his title and starts to walk away. Pee Wee Anderson tells him to hold on and asks Tony Schiavone what happened. Schiavone admitted that he wasn’t sure. Pee Wee Anderson tells Tony to have the camera man replay the ending. Pee Wee heads over to the monitor. This might be the first time instant replay has ever been used in Pro Wrestling. The replay clearly shows that Woman rang the bell and that there is still one minute remaining. Pee Wee orders the bout to resume! Arn Anderson and Dan Spivey head to the ring to protest. WHAM… before Pee Wee even turns his head, low blow by Flair on Luger. WHAM… DDT by Flair and he covers Luger Pee Wee Anderson turns around….1….2…3! Flair wins the match and retains his title. Arn Anderson, Dan Spivey and Flair all attack Sting who started this wild debate. Sting receives a pretty good beating from these 3! Luger is up as Spivey and Anderson are holding Sting! Flair tells Luger to hit Sting… that the deal to join the Horsemen is still on the table!!! Luger is pondering his next move… Join the Horsemen or protect Sting who he has only known for a week! WHAM… Luger nails……. Flair! As Tony Schiavone is singing off, Luger is taking on Flair, Arn and Spivey all by himself and he is cleaning house! Tony Schiavone: For Jim Ross and David Crockett, I’m Tony Schiavone, we’ll see you next week right here on World Championship Wrestling.

It was awesome while it lasted. Looking forward to seeing what is next!

WCW releases Jos Leduc

Bash at the Beach was an awesome event. For me, you could run JYD vs DeBeers 7 days a week for months and still make money. Now those are some tough brackets for Starrcade Series. I couldn't even begin to tell you who the favorites are! I know it was the opener but I bet Prichard and Whatley put on one heck of a show! Looking forward to seeing more of the Road Warriors vs Beast of Burden... those are some BIG BOYS!

Glad to have you. Awesome work with UWF Newborn. Very interesting and educational for me.

Phoenix Firestorm is looking great. Bret Hart vs Bam Bam is one I would love to see.

First the TV show... A lot of great moments here.... I love the new roster additions.., Kerry, Iceman and the Fantastics will give the fans some more to cheer about. I think the Rich vs Rose cousins has is a great way to get something out of this foursome. Nice choice! Tony Atlas as his "whenever I damn well want" quote was a highlight for me. This is going to be awesome. I am not sure if the WWF first came up with this "money in the bank" idea, but I think it adds a lot to the promotion. Nice job Even though no titles changes hands, I thought title night was a great show as you moved along some angles and got us ready for some new ones. Boris attacking Nikita shows us that all of Russian was not ready to be friends. I bet that Boris was the new fan favorite in Moscow.... Propaganda at its best. Cool angle here. Nice work!

Some really cook figures in this show. Brutus with scissors, Brother Love with the red face, Akeem with the hat, Jake with Damien in the bag, Nicolai with the hat, Mean Gene with the WWF blazer.... makes for a nice added touch to the game.

I really enjoyed this interview. It gave some real insights into your world if the UWF and how it is different from pro wrestling. It also gave some interesting details on the state of pro wrestling in Japan in the 1980's. How did you get interested in this hobby.

WWF seems to be rolling now! I enjoy the figures at the end!

Very entertaining half hour. I enjoy Oliver Humperdink as a wrestler. Seems like a perfect fit for this type of promotion. Ash is also doing a good job of selling the promotion. Just using the names Dundee and Lawler make him seem more important with every word. Renestos are ready for a title show!
