LowBlowPodcast Posted February 1 Author Posted February 1 WCW Power Hour Sid Vicious (w/ Harley Race) destroys a local competitor in brutal fashion, barely breaking a sweat. The Undertaker (w/ Paul Bearer) wins decisively, the crowd visibly unsettled by his presence. The Orient Express (w/ Mr. Fuji) continue to look sharp and dangerous with another clean victory. Pretty Wonderful pick up a quick win, staying aggressive and unapologetic. Flyin’ Brian closes the show with a strong win, moving freely and confidently — no signs of injury as he heads into his biggest week yet. World Championship Wrestling Ross and Heenan run down Clash of the Champions XIV in full hype mode: U.S. Title Final tonight Doom defend the World Tag Titles tomorrow $10,000 Battle Royal Sid Vicious challenges Sting for the World Championship Ricky Steamboat vs. Flyin’ Brian Winner advances to the U.S. Title Final This is exactly what it should be — a 25-minute war between two men operating at their absolute peak. Brian wrestles with speed and urgency, pushing Steamboat from bell to bell. Steamboat answers with patience, counters, and timing. Neither man gives an inch. The Dangerous Alliance makes their presence felt at ringside — Hennig watching intently, Rude and Hall laughing it up — but never interfering. In the final moments, Brian launches with a high crossbody. Steamboat rolls through, stacks him up, and gets the pin. After the bell, Brian favors his shoulder — not catastrophic, but clearly hurt. That’s when the Dangerous Alliance strike. Rude and Hall dump Brian into the ring post. Hennig steps in, directing traffic. The numbers are overwhelming until Nikita Koloff storms the ring, clearing house and backing the Alliance off. Steamboat stands tall — but Brian is clearly compromised heading into tomorrow. WCW Main Event: Clash of the Champions Pre-Show Demolition (Ax & Smash, w/ Crush) def. The Orient Express (w/ Mr. Fuji) A solid, no-nonsense match that keeps Demolition strong. The Express show resilience in defeat, forcing Ax and Smash to work for everything. The Mountie (w/ The Mountie Patrol) def. Kendall Windham The Mountie controls the match from start to finish, finishing Windham with a flying elbow and locking in the Quebec Crab for the submission. A video package recaps the U.S. Title Tournament, setting the stage for Steamboat vs. Hennig II, now with championship gold on the line. Pretty Wonderful def. Bob and Scott Armstrong After the bell, Orndorff and Roma attack Bullet Bob Armstrong, delivering a spike piledriver on the stage. Officials rush out as Bob is left motionless. This is how Main Event goes off the air. Clash of the Champion XIV - February 1st, 1991 The Clash opens with Tony Schiavone checking on Bullet Bob. He’s being carted out… We see Smothers and Armstrong come out… They've got a US tag title match coming up. The Freebirds w/ DDP vs Young Pistols US Tag Titles We get more on the walk out of Bob as Steve Armstrong has tried to keep up… but Smothers comes in and he tries to do everything he can to take on the Freebirds. This turns into a 2 on 1 though… Jimmy Jam and PS are a well oiled machine… all be it a little rusty. DDP is out there pushing the envelope… getting involved when he can. We see Steve come back out… the crowd erupts… but it is window dressing. In the end… Smothers make the hot tag to Armstrong who comes in like a house of fire. He is all over the place. We get a messy finish when Steve rears back and nails the referee with an elbow! He then hits a slick move… he runs up to with a kick into Hayes chest and then a follow up kick to the back of the head. What a move! 1….2….3……4… the fans count but the next referee comes down and waves his hands. It is a DQ finish… The Birds are the winners….via DQ. No title change… more to come. Savio Vega vs. The Undertaker (w/ Paul Bearer) Savio comes out fired up, aggressive, trying to take the fight to the Undertaker early. It doesn’t last. Taker absorbs everything without expression, then takes control with heavy shots and methodical offense. The crowd is quiet in that uneasy way — not bored, not loud — just watching something they don’t fully understand. Undertaker walks the ropes. Chokeslam. Tombstone. That’s it. Winner: The Undertaker Paul Bearer stands over Savio’s body, clutching the urn, as if the match never mattered in the first place. We get an introduction… unlike any other… The AMERICAN DREAM DUSTY RHODES is back in World Championship Wrestling! He brings out his son Dustin who comes out and he’s joined by Nikita and Flyin Brian (arm is in a sling). Pillman says his shoulder was injured last night against Ricky Steamboat… and he won’t be able to compete tonight… but he’s got some great backup with him… Dusty Rhodes pops on and says he brought the boots… he’s got his trunks… and now it is time to kick some booty! Nikita Koloff & Dusty Rhodes (w/ Dustin Rhodes) vs. Rick Rude & Scott Hall (w/ Paul E. Dangerously) This is where the night takes a turn. Tony Schiavone brings us back to ringside, explaining again that Flyin’ Brian cannot compete — when suddenly, the music hits. Dusty Rhodes is back. The building erupts. Dusty comes out in boots and denim, soaking it in, then calls for Dustin to join him. The moment lands. No rush. No shortcuts. Dusty makes it clear: WCW needs someone tonight, and he’s here to stand with his son and with Nikita Koloff. The match itself is exactly what it should be. Dusty is slower, but still smart. Nikita does the heavy lifting. Rude and Hall work like predators, isolating, cutting the ring in half, letting Paul E pull strings from the outside. The finish is brilliant in its simplicity. Dusty goes for a suplex on Hall. Paul E grabs his leg. Hall falls forward — Warrior/Rude at WrestleMania V — and covers. Winners: Rick Rude & Scott Hall The heat is nuclear. Dustin attacks Dangerously immediately. Nikita and Rude are throwing bombs. Officials pour in. This isn’t about wins and losses — this is about war. Another fun angle to set up the next contest... Doom comes out... Teddy Long has got the titles.... but then Marty comes out... he then goes back and brings out his partner... OH MY! WCW World Tag Team Championship Doom (c) (w/ Teddy Long) vs. Marty Jannetty & El Gigante Jannetty fights like a man with something to prove. He throws everything he has at Doom — speed, desperation, heart. El Gigante’s size changes the dynamic, forcing Doom to adjust. But Doom are champions for a reason. Simmons and Reed isolate Jannetty again and again, punishing him, grinding him down. El Gigante gets his moments, but Doom never panic. They absorb. They counter. They dominate when it matters. Eventually, Doom put Jannetty down clean. Winners and Still WCW World Tag Team Champions: Doom Marty gave everything he had. It wasn’t enough. We get a fun video showcasing the US Title tournament... finals incoming! WCW United States Championship Curt Hennig w/ Paul E vs. Ricky Steamboat Steamboat comes in banged up. Hennig comes in cold and precise. This is wrestling at its highest level — measured, disciplined, unforgiving. Steamboat tries to push pace, but Hennig targets him surgically, working the body and slowing him down. Every exchange matters. Every counter draws a reaction. The finish comes down to leverage and positioning — a German suplex, shoulders pressed, weight shifted just enough. All four shoulders down... but after the three count... there is some commotion... then... it is announced... Winner and NEW United States Champion: Curt Hennig Steamboat sits up afterward, exhausted, disappointed, but respected. The crowd lets him know it. $10,000 Battle Royal — Money on a Pole Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart, DDP, Big Josh, Skinner, Brad Armstrong, Fatu, Samu, Tonga It’s messy. It’s chaotic. It’s fun. Alliances form and collapse instantly. The Samoans and the Harts tear into each other throughout. Big Josh and Skinner are collateral damage. Brad Armstrong gets caught watching the wrong angle and pays for it. DDP sneaks. Climbs. Grabs the bag. But his feet never touch the mat. Davey Boy shakes the ropes. DDP crashes down, crotched, humiliated. The chaos continues as bodies spill over the top rope. In the end, no one leaves clean — just bruised and angry. Davey Boy hoists up the bag... hands out some cash... WCW World Heavyweight Championship Sting (c) vs. Sid Vicious (w/ Harley Race) This is the biggest Clash main event WCW has ever presented — and it feels like it. Sting fights with urgency and fire. Sid looks terrifying — calm, strong, controlled. Harley Race stalks the floor, pulling strings. The match is physical, intense, and deliberate. Sting wears Sid down. Sid absorbs punishment that would fell anyone else. The Samoans attempt to interfere — but the Hart Foundation rushes them, pulling them away. WCW has Sting’s back. The finish is sudden and shocking. Sting goes for the Stinger Splash — leaps too high — and smashes his head on the battle royal pole. He goes limp. Sid catches him. Harley screams. Sid hoists Sting and powerbombs him into the mat. 1… 2… 3. Winner and NEW WCW World Heavyweight Champion: Sid Vicious Harley Race hands Sid the belt. Sid raises it without emotion. Ross is furious. He’s putting over the head injury. Heenan is loving every second of it. The show ends with Sid standing tall — champion at last — as WCW heads into an uncertain, dangerous future.
ErictheDragon Posted February 1 Posted February 1 I would've loved seeing 25 mins of Sreamboat/Pillman on free TV. Pretty Wonderful provide a frightening transition from Main Event to the Clash. Steve is clearly upset and it costs in in the US tag title match. R.I.P Vega. Pillman's injury leaves a vacancy that the Dream readily fills. Marty's Giant surprise wasn't enough to take down Doom. Hennig wins the US title in a somewhat questionable call by the ref. I'm a little confused by the battle royal. Did DDP grabbing the cash count? Or did Davey Boy stopping him from reaching the floor allow someone else to get it? Great finish to the world title match. There can be no doubt who rules the world.

KingBoggs33 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 I always enjoy your shows. This is no exception, a solid card with results that all made sense. I loved the main event. I enjoyed the gimmick from earlier, costing Sting the match by hitting the pole, then Sid spelling the end with the Powerbomb and taking the title. A short title reign for Sting, but Sid being the champ is the right move, though, and I'm excited to see what happens next in WCW.

ErictheDragon Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Major hype created for WrestleWar at the announcement of War Games pitting Sting's Squadron vs Sid's Psychos. More Hennig v Steamboat? Yes please. Rude & Koloff are gonna tear each other apart. Better reinforce the whole building for when Doom takes on Demolition.
spaldoni Posted Saturday at 11:49 PM Posted Saturday at 11:49 PM The Clash was solid all the way through I knew it would be a wild night when the beginning is Bullet Bob being stretchered out The Freebirds have luck on their side and remain champs. Loving the slow build of the Undertaker I can't imagine the pop Dusty got tonight. Nikita has some powerful allies with the Rhodes family. This could be a wild ride Marty was full of fire but Doom put a stamp on things. Of course Steamboat and Hennig put on a classic. The US title is absolutely perfect for Hennig. No matter what, Steamboat gets his respect The battle royal was a lot of fun especially the finish. Bulldog could get a nice push from this WOW! Wasn't expecting Sid to walk out with the title but this is going to be awesome. Very nice touch with the pole from the battle royal actually costing Sting the match. Sid does rule the world! Nice follow up with new angles and programs set. The War Games will be epic! Poor Marty, if he only knew what Michales has been up too I'd pay good money to watch Doom and Demolition brawl Love the importance put on the US tag titles with several teams wanting a shot
