NWA POWER PREVIEW DAMAGE CONTROL When the last episode of NWA Power went off the air, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson had just challenged new NWA World Heavyweight Champion and best friend "Nature Boy" Ric Flair to a championship match for the next episode of NWA Power. While it got all the wrestling fans excited about that optic, the same couldn't be said for Paul E. Dangerously, who was seen panicking backstage as the show went off the air. But it seems that for all the scrambling that he's had to do, it all paid off as now, according to various speculations in the NWA headquarters, Paul E. has been able to call the match off. He even tried to smooth things over by trying to convince Arn Anderson to team with his fellow Dangerous Alliance member "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton and "Nature Boy" Ric Flair in a 6-men tag match against Chris Benoit, Brian Pillman & Shane Douglas for the next episode of Power instead. However, it has been made crystal clear by Arn Anderson that he wants no part of it until he gets his shot at Ric Flair. So with that said, Paul E. had to find another partner for Flair & Eaton and it's a rather unusual name that has stepped up to the plate; a former foe of Bobby Eaton in former Fantastic Bobby Fulton. It seems like Fulton realized the opportunity presented to him as he'll make his return to NWA TV in that match. Can that unusual trio survive against a rather well-oiled machine of Benoit/Pillman/Douglas? Also in action for next episode: The Barbarian vs Ace Darling Billy Kidman vs "Dr. Death" Steve Williams Chavo Guerrero Jr vs Little Guido in Junior Heavyweight action Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy vs Konnan + a special announcement regarding the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship by "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes!!!

AUGUST 24TH, 1996 TOPEKA, KS The show opens with Joey Styles and Mike Tenay hyping up the main event for the night, a triple threat match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship between Ric Flair, Chris Benoit, and Shane Douglas. As they discuss the match, they are interrupted by the arrival of Bobby Eaton, who announces that he wants a shot at the title as well. Joey Styles: Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of NWA Power! I’m Joey Styles, and I’m joined by my colleague Mike Tenay, and we have a huge announcement for you tonight! Mike Tenay: That’s right, Joey. As you know, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship is currently vacant, after the controversial ending of the title match between Dan Severn and Shinya Hashimoto at the Tokyo Dome last month Joey Styles: And we have just learned that the NWA Board of Directors has decided to hold a Triple Threat Match right here tonight after the events of last week between « The Nature Boy » Ric Flair, « The Crippler » Chris Benoit and « The Franchise » Shane Douglas. Mike Tenay: And what a lineup we have for tonight’s show as well, Joey. Some of the biggest names in wrestling today will compete tonight on this broadcast. We will have in action 911 vs Doug Gilbert, plus a tag match between the team of Ace Darling & Brian Pillman vs The Harris Twins and in just a few moments, in our opening contest; Kendall Windham will square off against Little Guido Joey Styles: And I’m just being told, we have one more announcement to make. The NWA Board of Directors has granted a special invitation to one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time, a man who has never held a singles title in his illustrious career, but who has proven himself time and time again as a true competitor and a fan favorite. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton! Bobby Eaton: Thank you, Joey. Thank you, Mike. And thank you to all the fans here in Topeka and around the world. You know, I’ve been in this business for over 20 years, and I’ve had the honor of teaming up with some of the best partners in history. I’ve been part of The Midnight Express, The Dangerous Alliance, The Blue Bloods, and many more. I’ve won countless tag team titles and accolades, and I’m proud of everything I’ve accomplished. Mike Tenay: And you should be proud, Bobby. You are widely regarded as one of the most skilled and respected wrestlers in the industry. But what made you decide to want this title shot? What made you want to pursue the NWA World Heavyweight Championship? Bobby Eaton: Well, Mike, it’s simple. I love wrestling. I love this sport more than anything else in the world. And I’ve always wanted to test myself against the best of the best. And there’s no bigger challenge than competing for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. This title has been held by some of the greatest wrestlers who ever lived: Lou Thesz, Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, just to name a few. And I want to be part of that legacy. I want to prove to myself and to everyone else that I can be a world champion. Joey Styles: Well, Bobby, you certainly have a lot of courage and determination. But you also have a lot of tough opponents ahead of you. Do you have any idea when you will call your shot? Bobby Eaton: No, I don’t, Joey. But it doesn’t matter to me who it is. It could be anyone from this promotion or anyone from anywhere else in the world. It could be someone I’ve faced before or someone I’ve never met before. It could be someone I respect or someone I despise. It doesn’t matter to me one bit. Because whoever it is, they’re going to get the fight of their life from me. Mike Tenay: Well, Bobby, we wish you all the best in this tournament. And we thank you for joining us here tonight. Bobby Eaton: Thank you very much. (As the interview is wrapping up, Paul E. Dangerously, headset around his neck walks in the camera shot. Joey Styles rolls his eyes while Mike Tenay & Bobby Eaton seem to be taken aback a bit.) Paul E. Dangerously : Now excuse me to interrupt but I had to. Bobby, I truly appreciate your commitment and your enthusiasm over the possibility of getting a shot at whoever wins the NWA World Heavyweight Championship tonight but let’s think this through, shall we? I am fully aware that the Board of Directors were well intended into extending that invitation for you to challenge for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship but they didn’t think this through. We’ve known each other for years, Bobby. We won tag team gold together, you, me and Double A. Now you wouldn’t want to walk into a title match with the champion thinking you didn’t earn this opportunity right? (Eaton nods but seems annoyed anyway) Far from me the idea of saying that you’re not worthy of this opportunity. You are the most underappreciated talent I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. And you deserve the world and beyond. However, it would only be fair to hold tonight a proper #1 contender’s match. Let’s say against….D’Lo Brown. Right here tonight. Eaton vs D’Lo. Winner is #1 contender and gets an opportunity at the champion. Maybe Battle of the Belts! What do you say? Bobby Eaton : Whatever, Paul E. You’re gonna do it anyway so let’s get this over with. Paul E. Dangerously : Wonderful! Thank you for your time, gentlemen and have a great show! (Paul E. walks off, putting his headset, shouting orders at the technical crew in the production truck) Joey Styles : Of course, Paul E. taking the opportunity, knowing that Dusty Rhodes isn’t here this week to throw his weight around. Either way, not only we’ll crown a new NWA World Heavyweight Champion tonight but we’ll find out who will challenge him in the near future as well. But with that said, we have some action coming up so let’s get started! Match 1: Kendal Windham (w/Barry Windham) vs. Little Guido (w/Louie Spiccoli & Virgil) The match starts with Windham using his size and power advantage to overpower Guido, tossing him around the ring with ease. Guido tries to use his speed and technical skills to counter, but Windham catches him with a big boot and a clothesline. Windham goes for a pin, but Guido kicks out at two. Windham continues to dominate Guido, hitting him with a suplex and a backbreaker. He then locks in a bear hug, squeezing the air out of Guido. Guido refuses to give up, and manages to bite Windham’s ear to escape. He then hits Windham with a low blow and a dropkick, sending him to the corner. Guido follows up with a series of kicks and chops, stunning Windham. He then climbs to the top rope and hits a flying crossbody, but Windham rolls through and pins Guido for a near fall. Guido kicks out and rolls out of the ring, where he is met by Spiccoli and Virgil, who give him some encouragement. Windham follows Guido outside the ring, but Spiccoli and Virgil distract him, allowing Guido to hit him with a chair shot behind the referee’s back. Guido then rolls Windham back into the ring and covers him for another near fall. Windham kicks out and fights back, hitting Guido with a DDT and a leg drop. Windham signals for the end, and lifts Guido up for a powerbomb. However, Spiccoli and Virgil interfere again, pulling Guido’s legs and causing him to fall on top of Windham. The referee counts one, two, but Windham kicks out at the last second. Windham is furious, and gets up to confront Spiccoli and Virgil. He punches Spiccoli off the apron, but Virgil grabs his leg and trips him. Guido takes advantage of the situation, and hits Windham with a Sicilian Slice (a diving leg drop bulldog). He covers Windham for the win, but Barry Windham pulls the referee out of the ring before he can count three. Barry then enters the ring and attacks Guido, hitting him with a big right hand. He then helps his brother up, and they double-team Guido with a double clothesline. Barry then holds Guido in place, while Kendall hits him with a lariat. Kendall covers Guido again, and Barry pushes the referee back into the ring to make the count. The referee counts one, two, three, and awards the match to Kendall Windham. Styles: What a travesty! Kendall Windham just stole this match from Little Guido with the help of his brother! The FBI were robbed! Winner: Kendall Windham Match 2: Ace Darling and Brian Pillman vs. The Harris Brothers (w/Don Callis) The match begins with Darling and Don Harris locking up. Darling uses his speed and agility to outwrestle Don, hitting him with dropkicks and arm drags. Don tags in Ron, who tries to overpower Darling with his size and strength. Darling manages to escape Ron’s grasp and tags in Pillman, who unleashes a flurry of punches and kicks on Ron. Pillman then hits Ron with a flying clothesline, sending him to the outside. Pillman follows him with a suicide dive, but Ron catches him in mid-air and slams him on the concrete floor. Callis distracts the referee, allowing Don to join his brother and double-team Pillman on the outside. They throw Pillman into the steel guardrail, then into the ring post. They roll him back into the ring and continue to beat him down with stomps and elbows. They isolate Pillman from his partner, cutting off the ring and making frequent tags. They target Pillman’s injured ankle, twisting it and stomping on it. They also use cheap shots and illegal tactics, such as choking Pillman with the tag rope or raking his eyes. Pillman tries to fight back, but he is outnumbered and outmatched. He suffers a lot of punishment, but he refuses to give up or stay down. He shows his toughness and resilience, kicking out of every pin attempt and enduring every submission hold. The fans rally behind him, chanting his name and cheering him on. Darling waits patiently on the apron, hoping for a tag. He tries to encourage Pillman and reach out for him, but he is too far away. He also tries to interfere when the Harris Twins cheat, but he is stopped by the referee or Callis. After several minutes of domination by the Harris Twins, Pillman finally sees an opening when Ron misses a big boot in the corner. Pillman crawls towards his corner, but Don grabs his leg and pulls him back. Pillman kicks Don away with his good leg, then dives towards Darling and makes the tag. Darling enters the ring like a house of fire, taking down both Harris Twins with clotheslines and dropkicks. He hits Don with a DDT, then hits Ron with a superkick. He covers Ron for the pin, but Don breaks it up. Darling fights off Don, then goes to the top rope and hits a moonsault on Ron. He covers him again, but Callis pulls the referee out of the ring. Darling gets up and confronts Callis, who tries to hit him with a chair. Darling ducks and grabs the chair from Cornette, then swings it at him. Callis dodges and runs away, but Darling chases him around the ring. Meanwhile, Pillman gets back on his feet and joins the fray. He attacks Don with a chop block to his knee, then locks him in a figure-four leglock. Don screams in pain and taps out, but there is no referee to see it. Ron sees this and goes to help his brother, but he is met by a flying forearm from Darling, who has returned to the ring after chasing Callis away. Darling covers Ron for the pin, while Pillman keeps Don in the leglock. The referee gets back in the ring and counts to three, giving the win to Ace Darling & Brian Pillman. The fans erupt in cheers as Darling & Pillman celebrate their victory. They hug each other and raise their arms in triumph. They also acknowledge the fans’ support and thank them for their loyalty. Winners: Ace Darling and Brian Pillman Match 3: 911 vs. Doug Gilbert – No DQ, Referee : Bill Alfonso The match starts with Gilbert attacking 911 from behind with a steel chair, trying to take advantage of the no disqualification rule. He hits 911 several times on the back and head, but 911 does not go down. He turns around and grabs Gilbert by the throat, lifting him up for a chokeslam. Gilbert manages to escape by poking 911 in the eye, then runs to the ropes and hits a clothesline. He covers 911 for a pin, but 911 kicks out at one. Gilbert gets frustrated and goes outside the ring, looking for more weapons. He finds a table and sets it up near the ring apron. He also grabs a kendo stick and a trash can lid. He throws the kendo stick and the trash can lid into the ring, then tries to pull 911 out of the ring. However, 911 fights back and punches Gilbert in the face, sending him crashing through the table. The crowd cheers as 911 gets out of the ring and picks up Gilbert. He tosses him back into the ring and follows him. He picks up the kendo stick and swings it at Gilbert, but Gilbert ducks and hits a low blow on 911. He then grabs the trash can lid and smashes it on 911’s head, making him bleed. He covers 911 again, but 911 kicks out at two. Gilbert argues with Alfonso, claiming it was a slow count. He pushes Alfonso, who pushes him back. Gilbert gets angry and shoves Alfonso again, but this time Alfonso falls down and hits his head on the bottom turnbuckle. He is knocked out. Gilbert sees this as an opportunity and goes outside the ring again. He finds a pair of handcuffs and a lighter. He returns to the ring and tries to handcuff 911 to the ropes, but 911 resists. They struggle for a while, until Gilbert manages to handcuff one of 911’s wrists to the top rope. He then lights the lighter and tries to burn 911’s face with it. The crowd boos as Gilbert tortures 911 with the flame. 911 screams in pain and tries to free himself, but he can’t. Gilbert laughs maniacally and taunts 911, saying he is going to end his career. Suddenly, Taz appears on the entrance ramp. He runs towards the ring with a steel chair in his hand. He slides into the ring and hits Gilbert with the chair, knocking him down. He then frees 911 from the handcuffs and helps him up. Gilbert gets up and sees Taz and 911 staring at him. He looks scared and tries to escape, but Taz and 911 catch him. They double-team him with punches and kicks, then throw him into the ropes. Taz hits a T-Bone Tazplex on Gilbert, with 911 picking him up afterward and hitting a chokeslam on him. They cover Gilbert together for a pin, while another referee comes to the ring and counts to three. Winner: 911 Match 4: Bobby Eaton vs. D-Lo Brown The match starts with a respectful handshake, as both men show mutual admiration for each other. They lock up and exchange holds, trying to gain an advantage. Eaton uses his technical skills and experience to counter Brown’s power and agility. Brown surprises Eaton with a dropkick, sending him to the outside. Brown follows up with a plancha over the top rope, landing on Eaton. He rolls him back into the ring and goes for a cover, but Eaton kicks out at two. Brown stays on the attack, hitting Eaton with a series of punches and kicks. He whips him into the ropes and attempts a clothesline, but Eaton ducks and hits a neckbreaker. He covers Brown, but only gets a two count. He then climbs to the top rope and goes for his signature Alabama Jam leg drop, but Brown moves out of the way at the last second. Eaton crashes hard on the mat, clutching his leg in pain. Brown sees an opportunity and targets Eaton’s injured leg. He stomps on it repeatedly, then applies a figure four leglock. Eaton screams in agony, but refuses to give up. He manages to reverse the pressure, forcing Brown to break the hold. Both men struggle to get up, limping on their legs. They trade punches in the middle of the ring, with neither man backing down. Brown gains the upper hand and hits Eaton with a DDT. He then signals for his finisher, the Lo Down frog splash. He climbs to the top rope and leaps off, but Eaton rolls out of the way at the last moment. Brown lands hard on his chest, gasping for air. Eaton crawls over to Brown and covers him, hooking his leg. The referee counts one, two, but Brown barely gets his shoulder up before three. Eaton can’t believe it and argues with the referee. He then picks up Brown and sets him up for a piledriver, but Brown counters with a back body drop. He quickly gets up and hits Eaton with a Sky High sitout spinebuster. He covers him and gets the three count. The bell rings and Brown celebrates his victory. He is announced as the new number one contender for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. He helps Eaton up and raises his hand in respect. They hug and congratulate each other on a great match. The crowd gives them a standing ovation as they leave the ring together. Winner: D-Lo Brown Main Event: Triple Threat Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Ric Flair vs. Chris Benoit vs. Shane Douglas As the bell rings, Flair, Benoit, and Douglas circle each other warily, knowing that this match could make or break their careers. Flair, the experienced veteran, relies on his technical skills and cunning to try and maintain control. Meanwhile, Benoit's intensity and hard-hitting style make him a formidable opponent, while Douglas, known for his high-flying moves, looks to use his agility and speed to gain an advantage. The match unfolds with each competitor showcasing their repertoire of moves. Benoit impresses with his various suplexes, including German suplexes that send his opponents crashing into the mat. Douglas, using his acrobatic moves, displays an array of impressive aerial maneuvers, thrilling the crowd with his agility. However, Flair's experience shines through as he counters their every move, demonstrating his mastery of submissions and mat-based wrestling. As the match reaches its climax, Flair, with blood running down his face, summons his trademark resilience. With the crowd rallying behind him, he delivers his signature move, the Figure-Four Leg Lock, on Shane Douglas. In a moment of desperation, Benoit executes a diving headbutt onto Flair, breaking the submission hold and saving Douglas from defeat. The three competitors continue to battle it out, each hitting their respective finishers in succession, but none able to secure the decisive pinfall. As the match nears its hour mark, Flair digs deep, channeling his experience and decades of championship success. He manages to deliver a powerful chop to Benoit, rendering him momentarily incapacitated. Ric Flair capitalizes on this opportunity, applying the Figure-Four Leg Lock once again, latching it tightly onto Benoit. Unable to escape, Benoit ultimately succumbs to the excruciating pain, succumbing to Flair's Figure-Four Leg Lock. The referee counts to three, signaling the end of the match and declaring Ric Flair as the winner, successfully capturing the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Winner: Ric Flair As the show goes off the air, Flair celebrates his victory, but is interrupted by the arrival of Arn Anderson who challenges him to a match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at the next episode of NWA Power. Arn Anderson: Ric Flair, you may be the Nature Boy, but you’re not the real World Champion. You see, you just beat two of the toughest men in this business, Chris Benoit and Shane Douglas, in a triple threat match to win the vacant NWA World Heavyweight Championship. And yes, you did it fair and square, without any help from anyone. Unlike usually when you always needed the Horsemen to bail you out of trouble. Well, guess what, Ric? Next week on NWA Power, you’re not going to have any friends by your side. It’s going to be just you and me, one on one, for the most prestigious title in wrestling history. And I’m going to prove to the whole world that I’m not just your enforcer, I’m your better. I’m the man who can outwrestle you, outfight you, and outsmart you. I’m the man who can pin you with the spinebuster or make you tap to the armbar. I’m the man who can end your reign of terror and your legacy of lies. I’m the man who can take your spot as the leader of this industry and the face of NWA. Ric Flair, next week on NWA Power, you’re going to find out why they call me Double A. And you’re going to hear these words from Gary Michael Cappetta: “And new NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Arn Anderson!” Wooo! The show goes off the air as Ric Flair stares Arn Anderson in disbelief, while Arn motions for the championship belt.

AUGUST 17TH, 1996 LITTLE ROCK, AR The episode kicks off with Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton walking down to the ring. They cut a promo about their upcoming match against Chris Benoit and Shane Douglas, former members of the Triple Threat. The Dangerous Alliance talk about their history with the former Triple Threat members and how they plan to teach them a lesson tonight : Arn Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at two of the Dangerous Alliance, the most dominant faction in the history of professional wrestling. We have been champions in every promotion we have ever stepped foot in, and we have beaten the best of the best. But now, we have a new challenge ahead of us. A challenge from two men who claim to be the Revolution, but are nothing more than traitors and cowards. Bobby Eaton: That’s right, Arn. Chris Benoit and Shane Douglas, you two have made a big mistake by calling us out. You think you can come to NWA Power and take our spot? You think you can disrespect the legacy of the NWA and the Dangerous Alliance? You think you can match our skill, our experience, our chemistry? Well, you are sadly mistaken, boys. Because we are going to teach you a lesson in respect and humility. Arn Anderson: You see, Benoit and Douglas, you may have some talent, but you lack something very important. Something that we have in abundance. Something that makes us the Dangerous Alliance. And that is loyalty. Loyalty to each other, loyalty to our partners, loyalty to our fans, and loyalty to the NWA. You two have betrayed everyone who ever trusted you or supported you. You turned your back on WCW, on ECW, on the Triple Threat, on the Four Horsemen, on the fans. You have no honor, no integrity, no heart. Bobby Eaton: And that is why you will never be able to beat us. Because we are more than just a tag team. We are a family. We are brothers in arms. We are the Dangerous Alliance. And we will enforce our will on you tonight on NWA Power. We will show you why we are the best tag team in the world today. We will show you why we are the next NWA World Tag Team Champions. And we will show you why you don’t mess with the Dangerous Alliance. Arn Anderson: So get ready, Benoit and Douglas. Get ready for the fight of your lives. Get ready for the pain and the punishment that awaits you. Get ready for the Dangerous Alliance. Because when we get in that ring with you, it’s going to be nothing but trouble for you! Match #1 : Chavo Guerrero Jr vs Tajiri The match starts with both men locking up in the center of the ring. Chavo gains the upper hand with a headlock, but Tajiri pushes him off and hits a dropkick. Tajiri follows up with some kicks to Chavo’s legs and chest, then whips him into the ropes. Chavo ducks a clothesline and comes back with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Chavo covers Tajiri for a two count. Chavo then applies a chinlock on Tajiri, trying to wear him down. Tajiri fights back with some elbows to Chavo’s ribs, then breaks free with a jawbreaker. Tajiri runs to the ropes and hits a springboard moonsault on Chavo for a near fall. Tajiri then goes for a buzzsaw kick, but Chavo ducks and rolls him up for a two count. Chavo then hits a suplex and goes to the top rope. He attempts a frog splash, but Tajiri moves out of the way and Chavo crashes on the mat. Tajiri gets up and waits for Chavo to stand. He then hits a kick to Chavo’s head, followed by a shining wizard. He covers Chavo for another close two count. Tajiri then signals for the end and locks in the tarantula on Chavo, making him scream in pain. The referee counts to four and forces Tajiri to break the hold. Tajiri then goes for another buzzsaw kick, but Chavo catches his leg and spins him around. He then hits a Gory Bomb on Tajiri and covers him for a three count. However, as Chavo celebrates his victory, the referee notices that Tajiri’s foot was on the bottom rope during the pinfall. He restarts the match and tells Chavo to continue. Chavo is furious and argues with the referee, allowing Tajiri to recover. Tajiri then spits green mist into Chavo’s eyes, blinding him. He then hits another buzzsaw kick on Chavo and covers him for the three count Winner: Tajiri MATCH #2 : Little Guido vs Ace Darling The bell rings and the two wrestlers lock up in the center of the ring. Little Guido gains the advantage with a headlock, but Ace Darling pushes him off and hits a dropkick. Ace Darling follows up with a series of punches and kicks, sending Little Guido to the corner. He charges at him, but Little Guido moves out of the way and Ace Darling crashes into the turnbuckle. Little Guido then hits a running bulldog and goes for the cover, but Ace Darling kicks out at two. Little Guido picks up Ace Darling and whips him to the ropes, but Ace Darling reverses it and catches Little Guido with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. He then grabs a steel chair from under the ring and smashes it over Little Guido’s back. He covers him again, but Little Guido kicks out at two. Ace Darling gets frustrated and sets up the chair in the middle of the ring. He lifts Little Guido up for a powerbomb, but Little Guido counters with a hurricanrana, sending Ace Darling face-first into the chair. Little Guido then hits a Sicilian Slice (leg drop bulldog) on Ace Darling and pins him for the three count. Winner: Little Guido Match #3 : D’Lo Brown vs Billy Kidman The match starts with both men exchanging some fast-paced moves and counters, showcasing their agility and athleticism. D’Lo gains the upper hand with a powerbomb and a leg drop, then taunts the crowd and Konnan, who is watching from ringside. Kidman fights back with a dropkick and a hurricanrana, then goes for the Shooting Star Press, his finishing move. However, D’Lo rolls out of the way and hits Kidman with a low blow behind the referee’s back. He then sets up Kidman for the Sky High, his own finisher, but Kidman reverses it into a sunset flip and pins D’Lo for the three count. The crowd cheers as Kidman celebrates his victory, while D’Lo is furious and argues with the referee. Konnan enters the ring and raises Kidman’s hand, then challenges him to a friendly handshake. Kidman accepts and they shake hands, showing respect for each other Winner: Billy Kidman MAIN EVENT, Match #4 : The Dangerous Alliance (Arn Anderson & Beautiful Bobby Eaton) vs Chris Benoit & Shane Douglas As the bell rings, Anderson and Benoit start the match, exchanging technical holds and counters. Anderson, with his years of experience, tries to ground and wear down Benoit, but the "Crippler" fights back, showcasing his strength and agility. The crowd erupts as Benoit tags in Douglas, who immediately takes control of the match with his high-flying maneuvers. Eaton tries to intervene and tip the scales in his team's favor, but Douglas's lightning-quick offense keeps him at bay. The match reaches its peak when all four competitors are inside the ring, trading blows in an explosive display of athleticism and intensity. Suddenly, the crowd's cheers turn to boos as the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, storms down the ramp. His presence alone distracts the referee, allowing him to interfere without immediate consequences. Flair, known for his dirty tactics and allegiance to Anderson, seizes the opportunity to assist The Dangerous Alliance. With the referee occupied, Flair viciously assaults Douglas, leveling him with a steel chair shot. The crowd erupts in anger and frustration, knowing that their beloved team is being robbed of a fair opportunity. Despite the interference, Benoit shows incredible resilience, rallying against both Anderson and Eaton. As chaos ensues in and out of the ring, the referee finally notices the heinous attack by Flair, who is promptly ejected from ringside. However, the damage has already been done as Douglas struggles to regain his bearings. Anderson and Eaton rally, targeting Douglas's weakened state, but Benoit resiliently fights on, refusing to let his team be defeated. Just as Anderson attempts his signature spinebuster, Douglas musters every last ounce of strength to counter, slipping out of Anderson's grasp and executing a picture-perfect belly-to-belly suplex. With the crowd rallying behind them, Benoit and Douglas go for the pinfall, but as the referee's hand is about to hit the mat for the three-count, Eaton re-enters the ring, attacking both Benoit and Douglas with a steel chair. The referee has no choice but to call for the disqualification, robbing Benoit and Douglas of the victory they rightfully deserve. Ric Flair, who had stayed in the entryway despite being ejected, slides in the ring, grabs the chair from Eaton’s hands and starts pummeling Benoit and Douglas with it. Flair throws the chair outside the ring and asks for the mic. Ric Flair : WOOOOOOO! YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I’M THE NATURE BOY! AND FOR WAY TOO LONG, I HAVE LET PEOPLE LIKE CHRIS BENOIT AND SHANE DOUGLAS THINK THAT THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING! YOU DON’T TRY TO STEP OUTSIDE THE SHADOW OF A 13-TIME HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD; YOU JUST SHUT UP AND LIVE IN IT! MARK MY WORDS; AND THIS IS ALSO GOING TO DUSTY RHODES AND PAUL E. DANGEROUSLY OR PAUL HEYMAN OR WHATEVER HE CALLS HIMSELF; RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN! YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE DIRTIEST PLAYER IN THE GAME AND I’M TAKING WHAT’S MINE AND THAT IS THE NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! LEARN TO LOVE IT, LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT. DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER AND SO IS THE NATURE BOY! WOOOOOOOOOOO! Winners: Chris Benoit & Shane Douglas by DQ The episode ends with Flair standing tall in the ring, holding up his steel chair as boos rain down on him from the crowd.

If I'm not mistaken, Christopher was booked as a babyface in Memphis (at least, at some points, like Lawler was). So it's a natural fit for this game, especially in this territory.

I actually realized as I was trying to plan things that it wouldn't have been feasible for me to book that WCW without having the NWO around while I think that in hindsight, I'll have an easier time maintaining what Straightedge started while implementing my own twists. Already have my 2 first Powers mapped out. They should be up during the weekend.

MAJOR SHAKEUP IN THE NWA: MULTIPLE WRESTLERS FROM WCW ON THEIR WAY INTO NWA It seems the power struggle between Eric Bischoff and Ted Turner at WCW HQ finally was the straw that broke the camel's back, with numerous marquee WCW stars wanting out of the company; the likes of Ric Flair, Arn Anderson & Chris Benoit have all sent their notices to WCW and requested to be out of their contracts. It didn't take long before Dusty Rhodes & Paul Heyman heard about this and decided to offer them and anyone else contracts with the NWA. Barry Windham, who was recently poised to go to WCW, took Dusty & Heyman on their offer and bolted to the NWA along with multiple midcarders who also jumped ship. But one particular name jumped off the page in returning to the NWA and it is Taz. After having originally have walked out prior to the NWA Power debut episode, it is said that Paul Heyman was able to smooth things over and convince Taz to return to the fold. With such multiple creative plans having put in motion now changed, thanks to the multiple talent movements, it's been rumored that the first Battle of the Belts special event will be slightly delayed in order to adjust things accordingly. So far, the only match currently set in stone is the NWA World Television Championship held by 2 Cold Scorpio. More details as we get them.

I definitely noticed something went wrong for Mox after that spot because he pretty much was on spaghetti legs but I thought it was just temporary and that he'd shake it off. So after reading that report from Keller, I connected the dots and it made sense.

Per Wade Keller, amazingly enough, Mox's injury happened during the pre-match brawl (I suspect it happened on the Rey Fenix dive from the ramp. If you watch it again, Mox was really shaken up and struggled to get back on his feet afterwards). Mox changed the finish at the end of the match, which makes me wonder if Fenix was supposed to win the title in the first place. Keller also mentions that Mox isn't expected to be out for a long time.
