Fall Brawl had a fun build and it more than lived up to it.

Love the presentation you're giving Sid. Dominant in ring and scary as hell on the mic.

Maybe Crush's alliance with Demolition will go better now that he doesn't have the stigma of being a replacement.

No offense to Brad Armstrong but this Badstree sounds like an all together different kind of beast.

Glad to see Worldwide return to the posts. Especially enjoying DDP hits from commentary.

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

1. Sting
2. Nikita Koloff - US Champion
3. Scott Hall - TV Champion
4. Ricky Steamboat
5. Flyin Brian
6. Sid Vicious
7. The Great Muta
8. Curt Hennig
9. Rick Rude
10. 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

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: “I don’t care who you are, you can’t prepare for seven-foot-seven of trouble!”
 

Flyin Brian vs Rick Ryder

Brian explodes out of the gate with dropkicks and aerial offense.
 

Finish: Springboard clothesline for the decisive victory.
 

DDP line: “Brian’s got fire, I’ll give him that — but when he steps in the ring with Hennig or Rude, that fire’s getting snuffed out quick!”
 

The Samoans (Samu & Fatu w/ Afa & Sika) vs Tim Parker & Jeff Warner

The Samoans annihilate the jobbers with headbutts, slams, and double-teams.
 

Finish: Double superkick → Fatu scores the pin.

Nightmare controls early, but Steamboat’s heart fires him back into it.
 

Finish: Flying crossbody gives Steamboat the win.
 

DDP line: “Steamboat can flap his wings all he wants, but is going to clip ‘em for good!”

Hard fought battle all over ringside... Nasty Boys made their final stand but Doom was too much!

Finish: Ron Simmons hits Knobbs with a spinebuster but hammers him between two sitting chairs.

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!"

[ErictheDragon]

Muta declares, in his own way, that he stands alone.

Ivan brings in a pair of Pitbulls to sic on Nikita but Sting is willing to come to his former rivals aid.

Michaels  is starting to get a bit of a big head.

[spaldoni]

Ivan brings in the Pitbulls, but can they match up to Nikita and Sting. I have a feeling Uncle Ivan has something up his sleeve. I wonder is this will a distraction for Sting as he heads into his long awaited title match with Luger.  

They might not like each other, but Pillman and Hall together could give the Dangerous Alliance some trouble

The Armstrongs show what family unity is all about. 

Davey Boy is healed but Doom just might finish the job next time 

Wow, Muta wants to walk alone. He nails Steamboat and mists Paul E in the same segment. Now he'll have to contend with Rude and Hennig

Damn! Bobby Heenan is coming! 

Sid wants the Giant but Z-Man is still looking for payback 

The Rockers/Freebirds feud is erupting but things are a bit off with Michaels 

Love the Worldwide format. It's fresh and always cool hearing DDP lines 

We're on the road to Halloween Havoc! 

[Control21]

Looking forward to Halloween Havoc. The Rockers/Freebirds sounds like a tremendous feud, and Michaels always makes things interesting, especially if he has his eyes set on bigger things....

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!”
 

[ErictheDragon]

Heenan is here and already making friends.

Speaking of, the Dangerous Alliance is lining up two top stars.

Love Hayes' explanation for Badstreet being a shapeshifter. Looks like DDP might not be on the same page as his boys.

Uncle Ivan making big moves bringing on the Barbarian and seeming to strike up a deal with Luger & Race.
