Diamond Dallas Page gets a win over Kendall Windham - DDP is coming along.

Lex Luger defeated Pat Tanaka in the main event of Power Hour. Cactus Jack is shown after the match up in the stands… he looks like he is going to jump on to Luger. What is going to happen when these two finally get a hold of one another!?!

World Championship Wrestling - Jim Ross & Bobby Heenan

Sid Vicious comes out with Harley Race and beats the shit out of two seperate guys. 

Harley and Sid are joined by Meng (white shirt Meng) and Mr. Hughes. They put over the fact that come the Clash… Cactus Jack is going to end Lex Luger’s Career… Sid Vicious is going to destroy Davey Boy Smith… and finally get his shot at his rightful world title!

Marcus Alexander Bagwell with a fun encounter… he has got a great look… smooth in the ring… we’ll see what happens when he clashes with Johnny B Badd this week! 

The Great Muta gets a win and almost flies out of the ring when he hits the back elbow hand spring! 

The Dangerous Alliance win a six-man tag team match… Rude is without question the man on the rise in this group.

Dustin Rhodes and Ricky Steamboat team up and defeat the State Patrol

We then go to Eric Bichoff in the WCW Control Room and he announces the card for the Clash on Thursday, September the 3rd. 

WCW Championship - Sting defends against Tenryu w/ Alexandra York

SIX MAN - Ricky Steamboat, Dustin Rhodes, & Great Muta vs The Dangerous Alliance

WCW Tag Championship - The Steiner Brothers defend against Chono and Saito

WCW Television Championship - Flyin Brian defends against Hase

Lex Luger vs Cactus Jack!

Plus… Sid Vicious vs Davey Boy Smith… the Undertaker vs Ron Simmons… and a special showcase with Johnny B Badd taking on Marcus Bagwell! 

Skinner with a win… he spits that chaw in his opponents mouth and he looks like he throws up!

Marty Jannetty with another solid win. He continues to build back up! 

Our main event sees the 4 on 4 challenge of Sting, Flyin Brian, and The Steiners taking on Tenryu, Chono, Hase, and Saito… Alexandra York is ringside… but she isn’t alone. She has got another guy with her… that’s… Kensuke Sasuke! He’s been in WCW before and Ross puts over how he is an understudy of Chono. This one gets some time and we get to see all the pieces come together. The highlight is seeing Scott Steiner and Chono just beat the living shit out of one another. Sting and Tenryu do meet and give the fans a taste of what is going to happen this week at the Clash. Hase and Pillman pull no punches and we get some high flying. The finish is chaotic but in the end… Saito holds Rick Steiner’s arm up against the ringpost… and Tenryu runs with a boot that knocks him the f out! Steiner is known for a hard head but that was too much for any man. Tenryu gets the 3-count and the fans are shocked. Rick is hurt. Sting is trying to fight off Chono and Hase. Saito is attacking Rick while Scott protects him. Sasuke gets involved and now he and Pillman are fighting. Chaos has broken loose… we’ll see you at the Clash this week! 

 

WCW The Main Event - Tony Schiavone & Eric Bischoff 

Main Event kicks off this week with the Undertaker destroying some dudes… Eric and Tony continue to put him over as he climbs the ranks in WCW! 

Ron Simmons with a good win tonight and the spinebuster is all she wrote!

The Nasty Boys with Missy Hyatt get a tag team win and beat the piss out of their opponents. 

Van Hammer with another win and he continues to build steam… just not very hot.

In the Main Event of Main Event we see Cactus Jack and El Gigante go to a double DQ. It is about as ugly as you’d expect and Cactus keeps the match afloat 

[ErictheDragon]

York adds another weapon to the Foundation's arsenal.

With how quickly Taker's climbing the ranks, we may get the clash with Sting we never got irl.

[kevinmcfl]

Very interested to see the outcome of the Lex Luger-Cactus Jack match.  The way I see it, you are in a difficult spot.  Lex is obviously one of your top, top guys and has been perfectly built this way.  If he lost to Cactus Jack, that would really elevate Jack quickly from not even being in the top 10 to a contender!  But this would be hard to pull off considering Cactus Jack could not go over El Gigante cleanly.  I think there is going to be some chaos here!!!!

Really looking forward to all the matches at the Clash.  Those are some awesome matches for free tv.  This is why I was always a WCW fan and not a WWE fan.  They just had better things for free.

[spaldoni]

I agree with AD. I'm thinking we're eventually going to get the epic dream match between Sting and Taker. This is what fantasy booking is all about 

If all goes well at the Clash, York International just might take the Dangerous Alliances spot as top faction 

I can't imagine where the Luger/Cactus match is going to go 

Sid has Sting's title on the mind but Bulldog's being built pretty strong right now. Be careful Sid 

With all that's going on, WCW better get ready for the man they call Vader. He's time is coming and soon. 

[Control21]

I'm excited to see how Vader does once he gets some serious competition. I imagine Sting is looking over his shoulder each passing week.

Clash of the Champions XVI - Thursday, September 3, 1991

Television Championship - Flyin Brian defeated Hiro Hase at the 13-minute mark when Hase hit a nasty German Suplex… both men’s shoulders were down but Pillman raised his at the last moment! 

Johnny B Badd defeated Marcus Bagwell when Teddy Long turned and held Bagwell for Badd to knock out with the punch. Long and Badd celebrated all the way up the ramp!

Sid Vicious w/ Harley Race defeated Davey Boy Smith via count out after powerbombing him outside the ring on the rampway! Smith couldn’t answer the ten count back to the ring. 

WCW Tag Team Championship - Masa Chono and asa Saito w/ Alexandra York defeated the Steiner Brothers for the WCW Tag Team Championship.The finish saw Kensuke Sasuke get involved and he used York’s “new” computer and destroyed it over Rick Steiner’s head leading to Chono hitting a Mafia Kick for the 3-count! As soon as the match finished, The Nasty Boys ran into the ring and took out Scott! Rick’s head was bleeding as he tried to get to him, but Sags and Knobbs hit a spike piledriver outside the ring on Scott!

The Undertaker w/ Paul Bearer defeated Ron Simmons with the Tombstone in the middle of the ring! This was a HARD fought match and for the first time in almost a year, the Undertaker wavered when Simmons brought some huge shots. Simmons fights hard but Undertaker was able to counter him into the Tombstone for the victory. 

Ricky Steamboat, Dustin Rhodes, and the Great Muta defeated Rick Rude, Larry Z, and Arn Anderson w/ Paul E in a six-man showcase. Muta pinned Arn Anderson after a huge shining wizard. Steamboat and Rude really layed into one another during thie one. 

Lex Luger defeated Cactus Jack in a wild 8-minute brawl that was all over the ringside area. The referee could not contain anything. Luger has to channel his Bruiser Brody instincts here a little bit but the match comes together enough. The finish sees Cactus go for the elbow outside the ring but Luger moves and Cactus bumps on the cement! This all leads to a moment in the ring where Cactus leaps off the top rope, uncharacteristically, and Luger counters him for a catching powerslam! 1….2…3!!! Luger has won it and he escapes out of the ring. 

Jim Ross walks over to try and get a word from him… Luger is winded… Ross asks him questions but Luger can’t catch his breath… he leans up against the rail… tries to get his composure… and out of fugging nowhere… ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER GRABS LEX LUGER FROM BEHIND AND PULLS HIM OVER THE GUARDRAIL! The camera angle is amazing…. Abby has got some sharp object jabbed into Luger’s throat… Luger’s face is smooshed up against the guardrail. Cactus is down there screaming like a wild banshee. Security and staff come out and try to stop this… pure chaos! 

We take a minute… come back and Jesse Ventura is out there. Luger is being taken to the back on a stretcher… it is messy because of the rampway. Ventura comes over to Ross…. Gives him a rundown of what’s going on… he then says that he’s reviewed the footage… the tag team championships are being HELD UP! Sasuke hit him with the computer… this Saturday on World Championship Wrestling… the titles will be addressed. Ventura is going to be ringside for our World Title main event… THERE MUST BE A WINNER!

WCW Championship - Sting defeated Tenryu in a 22-minute showdown. Evenly fought. Both men gave it everything they had. Tenryu showed off his power and grit… Sting showed he has got all the resilience that anyone could have to be champion. In the ring, we see Tenryu go for a powerbomb but Sting pops over the top and then grabs in a backslide and locks in the arms for a 3-count! Sting has won it!

[ErictheDragon]

Time for the Clash. Let's Go!

Pillman retains in a photo finish. I'm betting Hase isn't done.

Badd & Long were a pretty fun duo from what i've seen of them together. Shame it had to happen at Bagwell's expense.

Smith takes a hell of a bump making Sid look extra dangerous.

Looks like the Foundation had the tag titles in their grasp but Ventura decided a hit from a computer is a step too far over the line.

Simmons gives Taker his first real fight but the Deadman can't be stopped.

Dangerously and the Alliance may want to go back to the drawing board.

Luger survives Jack only to get caught in an Abby jump scare.

Tenryu gave his best shot but Sting is still the man in WCW.

[spaldoni]

Hase gives Pillman a scare but Pillman ekes it out. I always liked that finish. Keeps both guys strong 

I've been waiting for it and now it's official. Teddy and the Bad Man baby! 

Damn, Sid looks like a beast tonight. At least Bulldog didn't get his shoulders pinned. 

Horrible night for the Steiners! Lose the titles and get a Nasty beatdown. After Ventura's ruling, I guess it isn't all bad news. 

This was a big win for Taker. He's now moving up a level in competition. I think Simmons can rebound from this. 

The babyfaces best the Dangerous Alliance. Seems the Alliance is a bit off their game lately. 

Even in defeat, Cactus did exactly what he was supposed to do. Jeez, now Luger has Abby to deal with. IRL, I enjoyed the Abby/Jack love hate alliance. This should be fun. 

Sting survives Tenryu to retain but both men came out looking strong. 

[kevinmcfl]

I enjoyed Clash of Champions.  Great use of Abbie.  He is gold is small doses and him and Cactus is shure to be a wild ride. 

I like that the tag team titles are being held up.  This always adds a level of intrigued to an angle.  I have never remembered to use this idea but may be now after you reminded me....  

Undertaker vs Simmons in his prime.... this would be great!

It is unusual that the world title match is in the background but your card was so fun, that Sting and Tenyru was like my 5th favorite match... WOW... that says a lot about your roster and booking!  Great job with WCW

Sting and the Steiners get a good win… fun to see these three together. 

In a major angle… we see Sid Vicious in the ring with Harley Race and Meng… they are joined by Abdullah and Cactus…  Lex Luger then walks out and says he is tired of playing games… if they want to play the numbers games then he will play them as well… out come the Road Warriors! Luger and the Warriors back off this crew and the battle lines have been drawn!

In the main event - Dustin Rhodes and Rick Rude battle in a 18-minute instant hit. Rude breaks him down but Dustin fights his way back up. Both men with some offense… but the turning point happens when Rude clotheslines Dustin over the top rope to the floor. Rude and Paul E are distracting the referee… wait a second… SCOTT HALL out of NOWHERE NAILS DUSTIN!  He tosses him into the ringpost and he’s busted WIDE open! Dustin is gushing as WCW goes off the air… Scott Hall is back with the Dangerous Alliance!

Great card for the Omni. The match that really grabbed my attention was Steamboat v Undertaker. Also excited for the return of Liger.
