Autistic Dragon Posted Thursday at 09:01 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:01 PM The Roadies and the Samoans open the show with a proper battle of the beasts. The Diamond Stud sure is shining. JJ reveals quite the bracket but Nikita almost immediately shakes it up by possibly injuring Sting. P&G get a cheap win over the legend. Bulldog gets a chance to flex. So you didn't know your partner for the night, who just happens to be a future challenger to your title, was being attacked eh Luger? Hmm. Nash is a perfect fit for the Skyscrapers. Garvin just came back too soon. Rockers with a relatively easy night. Muta puts down a game Z-man. Pillman seriously steps up but it doesn't prevent Flair from fulfilling his promise to pin the World Champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted Sunday at 03:20 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:20 AM A Road Warriors/Samoans banger is a great way to kick off the clash With Jesse's help getting him over on the mic, I see big things ahead for the Diamond Stud Damn, what a segment. The Horsemen's distraction allows Nikita to do a big number on Sting. The drama continues Power and Glory retain. I do like Wahoo mentoring Tatanka Bulldog gets in a nice showcase. I can see him in the title picture soon Man, genius idea booking Nash as a skyscraper. Definitely a better start than IRL Nice booking in the Garvin/Martel match. Keeps things hot Rockers retain against the newly named SEC. I think the name fits their look. Maybe they just need a manager. Z man looks great but Muta is amazing Pillman gets his big moment. Nice twist with Luger taking the pin. It looks like him and Sting are going into WrestleWar a little banged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted yesterday at 12:26 AM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:26 AM WCW Power Hour - 2/8 Gordon Solie & Paul E Dangerously bring us in with a highlight reel from the Clash. We get the announcement that Sting will not be able to compete in the WCW World Championship Match at WrestleWar. We will find out what will happen with that contest tonight on WCW! We also find out… at WrestleWar… the tag team titles… champions vs champions… Road Warriors take on the Rockers! They turn the tide to the US title gauntlet… we’ll have a new champion on Sunday night… but tonight we’ve got 4 huge matches… let’s go to the ring! US Title Tournament Nikita Koloff vs Sting was a no contest… Sting couldn’t compete… Pillman came out in his stead but was held back! It was announced that Nikita will have a match and a contender is going to be here this evening… US Title Tournament Abdullah the Butcher w/ Gary Hart defeated Kona Crush in an interesting contest. Abdullah doesn’t do much in the ring and Crush is able to sell for him and work in some offense. This ends up with a count-out victory after Abby pulls out the fork and jabs him in the throat. Crush is outside the ring before Gary Hart kicks him in the skull before the 10-count and Abdullah wins! US Title Tournament Tommy Rich defeated The Berzerker w/ Gary Hart via DQ. This wasn’t that great… Berzerker is nothing but a brawler and Tommy Rich gets the crowd involved but it just isn’t good. I am sure someone else could have been put in this spot. US Title Tournament Flyin Brian defeated Michael Rotundo in a hard fought 10-minute contest. Pillman has got a lot of fire. Rotundo does his best to keep things close. Pillman reverses a German suplex into a running crossbody for the 3-count! Pillman gets the win and he moves on! JJ Dillon comes out and announces that due to Sting’s injury, they needed a replacement for the tournament and who better than former United States Champion… Wahoo McDaniel! US Title Tournament Nikita Koloff defeated Wahoo McDaniel in a one-sided beatdown. Tatanka came out to try and help matters but it was thwarted by Ivan Koloff. In the end… Wahoo gets nailed with the Russian Sickle twice… clutches his throat and goes down… Nikita with the 3-count and he’s moving forward. We’ll find out the finals coming up tonight on WCW! World Championship Wrestling - 2/8 Tony Schiavone & Jesse Ventura welcome us in and put over the Clash. They talk about all the happenings and the big injury to Sting. Tonight… JJ Dillon will announce who will face Lex Luger. We also hear about the tag title confrontation between the Rockers and the Road Warriors at WrestleWar. We have two big matches announced for tonight… Brian Pillman vs Abdullah the Butcher and Nikita Koloff vs Tommy Rich… the winners of those matches will face off tomorrow night on the Main Event for the WCW United States Championship! We find out that Ron Garvin is out indefinitely… his injury has been deemed too serious to compete! We head to the ring for our matches… Owen Hart & Davey Boy looks pretty good as a tag team. We hear mumors of them challenging for the US tag titles soon?! The JYD and the Berzerker go to a no-contest… which brings out the Samoans and the Nasty Boys… the brawl is thwarted for the time-being. Just as JYD is looking to leave the arena area… the One Man Gang and Kevin Sullivan pop out of the back and attack him. He can’t catch a break! The Road Warriors win a simple tag team showcase… they let us know that it isn’t about titles at WrestleWar… it is about respect and they’re going to beat it out of the Rockers! We get the announcement we’ve been waiting for… JJ Dillon comes out and he addresses the crowd. Lex Luger comes out… with a limp of course… and he stands with Dillon as it is announced… at WrestleWar… Lex Luger will defend the WCW World Championship against… all of a sudden we see Paul E Dangerously walk out with Muta. They get into the ring and Paul E tries ripping a hole into Luger but JJ Dillon halts him… he tries to announce the challenger again but now we see Ric Flair come out with Arn and Ole! Flair and Muta are now face to face and you can feel the tension. Dillon separates them… and he announces that… at WrestleWar… it will be Lex Luger defending the WCW title against… Ric Flair! Flair celebrates but Muta is pissed… Muta kicks Luger in the knee…. Flair turns him around and Muta with the MYST and Flair’s face is covered! Pure chaos! US Title Tournament Flyin Brian defeated Abdullah the Butcher via DQ. This was a wild one and ended when Abby pulled out the fork again… but Pillman dropkicked him out of the ring to the floor. Abby pushes the referee to the ground but then Pillman out of nowhere off the apron with a crossbody! The crowd is 100% behind him… can Pillman win the gold? Kona Crush is out here and he gets a nice ovation from the crowd. The crushing move gets the crowd pumped. The Hillbilly Hog Farmers win a tag match… still trying to figure those guys out. The New Skyscrapers kill a couple of guys… it isn’t pretty but Sherri looks good. The Diamond Studd beats the hell out of someone… he’s got star written all over him according to Jesse Ventura! We get another promo from Luger who puts over the match with Flair. He says that this is his destiny. People have called him a paper champion but come WrestleWar… it is one on one… the world title on the line… the defining moment in both men’s careers. There can only be one World Champion and you’re looking at this! US Title Tournament A good matchup between Tommy Rich and Nikita Koloff finishes up our broadcast this week. These are two pros… Rich sells… sells… and sells some more for Nikita who looks primed for something big. Ivan is out there causing hell and ends up tripping Rich… only for him to turn around and here comes Nikita with the RUSSIAN SICKLE! Rich crumbles down… Nikita covers for the 1…2…3! It is Pillman vs Koloff tomorrow night… oh man! Just when you thought it was done… Flair is out here and he is covered in the green myst on the white shirt…. It’s stained and also his face and hair… it’s an image. Flair is on a roll saying that he is going to risk his entire career on this one match. He wants the World Title more than anything in this world. He is willing to put everything on the line and Luger is going to have to walk the aisle with the best damn wrestler in the world and the one true world champion! WCW The Main Event - 2/9 Eric Bischoff & Bob Caudle pump up the Main Event and the US title on the line tonight… it will be Flyin Brian or Nikita Koloff who walks off with the WCW United States Championship. They put over Flair vs Luger at WrestleWar. They put over the Road Warriors vs the Rockers at WrestleWar. We will find out these matches that have been announced: Tommy Rich will challenge Rick Martel for the TV title, Davey Boy and Owen challenge the Power and Glory for the US Tag titles, Jushin Liger returns to the US to take on Muta for the International Championship, plus a special contest called BATTLEGROUND? More on that contest next week! US Title Tournament Final Flyin Brian vs Nikita Koloff w/ Ivan Koloff went 20-minutes and these two left it all in the ring. We saw Ivan Koloff try to get involved but Pillman nailed him with a baseball slide dropkick! Nikita sold just enough to keep it interesting but Pillman really went to another level. Nikita continued to push the limit and Pillman kept fighting. We get some chaos that ensues when the referee gets knocked out….Pillman goes to the top rope and hits a crossbody but the referee is down and no count. Pillman is irate… what the hell is this… Arn Anderson? Double A comes out and he’s on the apron before Pillman comes over and they are jawjacking and then Pillman with a huge right hand and Anderson goes flying… Pillman turns around and RUSSIAN SICKLE! Referee crawls over for the 1…2….3!!! Nikita Koloff is the NEW United States Champion… this is outrageous… Caudle and Bichoff put this through the roof… we’ll see more on this next week on the Power Hour!

Autistic Dragon Posted yesterday at 01:48 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:48 AM Nikita with the US title is news enough but as Luger reminded us, the Russian Nightmare now just needs to say the word and he gets a world title shot. Double A shows Pillman what happens when you get involved in Horsemen business. I would have loved to hear the crowd react when Muta got Flair with the mist. Muta may not have gotten the world title match but he's got a classic lined up with Liger. A match with Owen and Smith could make or break P&G's US tag title reign. Intrigued by the BATTLEGROUND.

Control21 Posted yesterday at 05:05 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:05 AM I'm really enjoying WCW in 1990 so far. I love the idea of a Owen and Davey tag team at this stage. They could be the next great tag team. Liger vs Muta should be awesome. Can't wait for that match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
