Work - Kids - Family - Travel - Spring break is coming!

Bockwinkle announces that we will see a tag team battle royal next week with the winners of the match going on to face the Rockers at Triumph! Z-Man and Johnny Ace, The Nasty Boys, The Sheepherders, The Killer Bees, & The Islanders

We heard from the Twin Towers after they killed some jobbers. Slick said that those titles the Road Warriors are carrying around are meaningless until they get around the waists of the Twin Towers. The Road Warriors are going to find out exactly what this is all about and they will feel pure destruction!

Harley Race comes out with Predator and Bob Orton. They put over the issue with Dusty Rhodes and how Dan Spivey was just another cog in wheel of misfortune that Rhodes continues to spin. Spivey will fall with him and it will be the moment of Triumph for Harley Race.

Sabu v Koko ends up being a good showcase for Koko who nails an amazing dropkick on Sabu as he’s coming down for a top rope chop. Taz looks like he wants to get involved but Snuka pulls him down and nails him with a huge headbutt!

Dan Spivey comes out with Dusty Rhodes and they talk about challenging Race and Orton and Predator… they say that the challenge is for Triumph! Six-Man tag…. But they’re partner will be a surprise… but he is going to cause a storm!

The Rockers cut a promo putting over the tag title scene and how they are holding these titles tight… they know that the Road Warriors have some belts that they think are important but pale in comparison.

We had an interesting angle in which Konnan defeated Manny Knight via the top rope dropkick… but when he was done… in the aisle way… he was met by two men in all black with gold trim. Tony Schiavone announces that these are Conquistadors… or the Conquerers as they’re known in Mexico. They talk to him and then follow him to the back.

Wild Pegasus comes out to let the world know he won’t be afraid of anyone and that if Konnan can’t do it on his own that he will take care of all three of them at Triumph!

Steamboat and Savage vs The Freebirds (Hayes and Gordy) - Gordy brings out the Japanese title. We hear Schiavone announce that the Japanese Title and US title may be unified if the contract is signed. This is a nice tv main event with 13-minutes. Gordy is dominant and looks amazing. Savage and Steamboat sell like crazy. Hayes is the showman and he looks great. The finish is kind of messy with Buddy Jack getting involved… Roberts goes up on the apron and then Steamboat nails him. Hayes comes from behind and rolls him up with some extra leverage from the tights and also Roberts with whom he is locked on to. 1….2…3! Hayes just pinned Steamboat! Gordy and Savage are still battling until the Birds break it up. The Freebirds are ruling the roost if you will here on WCW… will this momentum lead to Triumph… at Triumph?

Five top teams meet next week to face The Rockers at Triumph. But not only are the champs not worried, they feel secure enough to throw shade at The Road Warriors.

Speaking of whom, The Twin Towers send a powerful message to the International Tag Team Champions.

Spivey and the Dream are bringing in a Storm to take on the King, the Ace and the Predator at Triumph.

Koko gets a win over Sabu while Snuka holds off Taz.

Konnan may have just gotten some backup.

A star-studded main event sees Hayes get a pin on the World champion! That plus Savage & Gordy brawling all over the place and we've got a great sell for the big event.

I also use these short shows as a way to stay up to date and keep angles moving forward.  Smart move.

I continue to enjoy all the different angles you have.  Rhodes-Race, Freebirds-Steamboat-Savage, the deep tag team division, some of the youngsters gaining some experience and in the case of  Konnan, some allies.  

WCW has a real late 80's feel and is always a good read.  Thanks for the effort to stay up to date even though life makes it hard.

Life gets busy but also sounds like a lot of fun. 

Tag team battle royal will set the stage for Triumph. 

I can't wait for the Road Warriors/Twin Towers collision! 

Race, Orton and Predator have become one gruff stable, whoever Rhodes and Spivey bring in as a partner, it will be a big moment at Triumph. 

Koko and Snuka win this week's round over Sabu and Taz. 

Rockers take a shot at the Road Warriors. 

More intrigue added to the Konnan/Pegasus feud. This is becoming one of my favorites in WCW. 

Wow! Hayes sneaks in a pin on champ Steamboat. Triumph is going to rock!

St. Louis, Missouri

TV TITLE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER
Great Muta vs Koko Ware squared off in a great contest. Muta has been on the rise as of late but Koko has got some serious momentum as well. A couple of big spots here… especially a Muta spinning wheel kick that sends Koko out of the ring to the floor. That’s when we see Taz and Sabu run out to try and beat him down only for Jimmy Snuka to come out for the save! Koko tries to get in the ring but here comes Muta with a big German Suplex and Koko lands right on his head for the 3-count! Muta has won it and he gets the shot at Snuka for the title!

 

The Road Warriors kill a pair of jobbers and then we see the Twin Towers come out with Slick. Slick is talking and jiving here trying to get the Road Warriors to get in a brawl but they won’t budge… Hawk and Animal then get in the ring… they lay the titles out and challenge the Towers to come in the ring!  Slick is holding his men back… this one is about to explode!

 

Konnan joins Tony Schiavone and they put over the big mask v mask match at Triumph. Konnan says that he will defend his mask like he’s defended his title in the past. The title may not be on the line… but the mask is just as important to him. He knows the Conquistadors are something to think about but he isn’t worried about them right now!

Wild Pegasus vs Conquistador is an interesting contest. Konnan joins Tony for commentary and puts over the Conquistadors as top tier contenders for the Mexican championship. We see Pegasus do some great work in the ring but of course… we get some shenanigans. It is the other Conquistador… he swaps with the one in the ring… comes in and hits a nasty jumping DDT for the 1…2….3! The crowd can’t believe it. Wait a moment… the other Conquistador runs in the ring and it is a two on one! They are trying to rip his mask off of him! Konnan leaves the booth and runs in the ring. The Conquistadors circle him and they all three walk to the back… what is happening with these three?

 

The Rockers come out for a promo and talk about the tag titles. They put over the idea fo the tag battle royal but they know that there is no team in WCW or the world. That’s when we also hear that the Rockers plan to retain the titles and then challenge the winner of the Towers and Road Warriors and they are going to put the tag titles together and show the world exactly what the best looks like! 

TAG TEAM BATTLE ROYAL
Z-Man and Johnny Ace, The Nasty Boys, The Sheepherders, The Killer Bees, & The Islanders
- This ends up being kind of a cluster. There is no clear cut number one contender but this is a way to figure it out. A special rule is that both members have to be eliminated in order for the team to be out. We see the Sheepherders and Nasties really get into it. Ace and Zenk are really just hitting and moving here. The first elimination is Luke via the Nasty Boys but then Sags is double drop kicked out by Ace and Zenk. A couple of moments later, the Islanders eliminate Blair. Butch is then tossed out by Knobbs. Ace and Zenk with a huge double dropkick on Tama and he goes flying! Haku, Brunzell, Knobbs, Zenk, and Ace are left. We get a three way tie up in the ropes and Ace and Zenk come over and toss everyone…. They are the “winners.” Meh. 

 

Dusty Rhodes and Dan Spivey walk out and start to cut a promo before Harley Race walks out with Predator and Orton. They talk about the big six-man tag match at Triumph. Race is wondering just who Dusty is going to dig up to help him? Spivey and Rhodes smile… then the crowd explodes… BAM BAM BIGELOW is here… he taps Race on the shoulder and he blows him off and then turns around and Rhodes with an ELBOW! Bam Bam and Spivey hold steady as Predator and Orton back up with Race… Bam Bam joins Dusty and Spivey… Triumph is shaping up!

 

3 on 2 MATCH
Steamboat and Savage vs The Freebirds 

  • Savage and Steamboat go to war with the Birds tonight. They put on a great contest with Steamboat and Savage showing off just how special they are. Roberts is the weak link but he can still sell. Hayes gets the crowd going. Gordy sets the rest of the tone and looks like a monster doing it. Savage is keeping the fans on his side as Steamboat plays the face in peril so well. We get the huge hot tag and Savage comes in like a house of fire. All hell breaks loose before we see Steamboat with a big cross body taking out both Hayes and Gordy. That leaves Roberts to turn around and DOUBLE AX HANDLE SMASH! 1….2…..3! Savage and Steamboat win it! 

  • That is just the beginning though… the Birds regroup and use the numbers to their advantage. The three on two battle is getting the best of Steamboat and Savage as the Birds walk off knowing they have the upperhand now. 

  • Steamboat and Savage are slow to get up but as the Birds leave the arena… Steamboat announces that at Triumph… there will be a Special Guest Enforcer for the World Title match… he’ll be here next week and he is going to clip the wings of the Birds!

Saturday March 25
Peoria, Illinois

WCW opens this week with footage of the past couple of weeks and the issues with the Freebirds and Savage and Steamboat. We then see the issue with Rhodes/Spivey and Race and company. We see Tony Schiavone standing by and he’s joined by Nick Bockwinkle… and… is that Jerry Brisco? 

Brisco and Bock unveil the full card for Triumph this week. We’ll see… Steamboat defend the World Title against Michal Hayes. Savage and Gordy one on one to unify the US and Japanese titles. The Rockers defend the tag titles against Tom Zenk & Johnny Ace. The Road Warriors defend the International Tag Titles against The Twin Towers. Jimmy Snuka defends the TV title against the Great Muta. A big four way elimination tag team match with the Killer Bees, Nasty Boys, Islanders, & Sheepherders. Plus a mask v mask non-title match… Wild Pegasus vs Konnan. Then we’ll see a big six-man tag with Dusty Rhodes, Dan Spivey, & Bam Bam Bigelow taking on Harley Race, Bob Orton, & The Predator Mark Madness. Nick Bockwinkle then announces that there will be a special guest ring enforcer for the show this week… Brisco stops him and says he doesn’t know about this… they have some words… we’ll have to find out who that is in a couple of moments. 

 

Koko and Snuka v Taz and Sabu 

  • This is the capper on this little television feud that’s been going on the last couple of weeks.  Sabu and Taz get some shine but Koko and Snuka are a step above and ahead of these two. The match is only about 9-minutes. Taz and Sabu end up arguing and fighting one another. This sets up Snuka and Koko for a pair of top rope dropkicks and the 3-count!

Snuka then comes over with Koko and they cut a promo on Muta. He may be undefeated but so am I says Snuka. He may be mysterious… but so am I. I am the Superfly and this is my belt! No one will take it…. HOO HOOO!

 

The Great Muta destroys George Williamson with a spectacular Moonsault Finish. He walks over to the announce booth as Schiavone tries to interview him but he looks right at the camera and does the slit the throat motion… I think he’s ready for Triumph.

 

The Z-man and Johnny Ace defeated Bobby Roy and Kenny Rice

Ace and Zenk come over to work the fans up… but then the Rockers come over and needless to say there is no love lost. The Rockers call these guys jokes and wannabes. Zenk and Ace say that imitation may be the best form of flattery but your mediocrity is going to pale in comparison to their greatness. Michaels and Jannetty don’t take too kindly to this and we get some pushing and shoving. Zenk and Ace say they are going to wait to do it on pay per view and then come back here to show the world their NEW tag team titles!

 

The Big Bossman killed Chael Michaels via the Bossman Slam. 

Bossman then joined Slick and OMG as they put over their tag match with the Road Warriors. We hear that the Road Warriors will be facing Race and Orton. The Towers say they will keep a close eye on how it all goes down if you know what I mean!

 

We get a fun promo from Rhodes, Spivey, and Bam Bam. They talk about bringing the fight this week to Triumph. They are coming for pain, blues, and agony and they are coming for the judgment…. Judgment will be handed out and the world will see just what they are made of. 

 

Wild Pegasus faced the other Conquistador this week and like last week… they did the switcheroo on him but Pegasus didn’t have any of it. He attacked both men and started brawling with them in the entryway until Konnan came out to break up the fight but Pegasus went after him as well…. This led to the Conquistadors laying him out and pulling Konnan to the back!

 

Hayes, Gordy, & Roberts win a good six-man bout.

The Freebirds then come over and start jaw jacking about the World title and US title match this week. That brings out World Champion Ricky Steamboat and US Champion Randy Savage. They put over the events but then talk about the special guest ring enforcer for the main event this week… it is none other than…. MR. T!

Mr. T comes out to a great little ovation. The Chicago native is back home and he let’s the Freebirds know that he rules this roost and he’s going to make sure they don’t do a damn thing to mess with this match! The Freebirds sell this big…  who knows how this will unfold this week.

Brian Blair and Butch vs Jerry Sags and Haku goes to a double dq when all of the teams come out and brawl. This is how it would happen… it was written in the stars and came to fruition. 

 

The Road Warriors vs Orton & Race

A big time main event with Orton and Race looking strong and the Road Warriors giving it their best. The Predator comes out mid match… then here comes the Towers w/ Slick. The Road Warriors start to get control of the match. This is when the Predator tries to get involved but Hawk lets him have it… that’s when Animal is pulled down by the Twin Towers and beaten down until we see Dusty, Bam Bam and Spivey come out to break up the brawl. We don’t get too much… but in the end it is Rhodes and company standing in the ring… Slick is backing everyone up… folks we’ll see you at Triumph!

 

 

Double episode upload... I promise to get to feedback soon - March has been a helluva month. I get a chance to read the shows but not post while I am at work and on my phone. I will try to do better.

Muta vs Snuka is a absolute dream match and I can see either man winning.

Good idea keeping the Road Warriors and the Twin Towers apart until their big match at Triumph.

Los Conquistadors seem keen to have Konnan keep his mask but it looks like he doesn't agree with their methods.

Z-Man & Ace weren't the team I was expecting to win the battle royal but they've already gotten under the champs skins.

Dusty and Spivey found the perfect partner in Bigelow.

Mr T as the enforcer in the Triumph main event? I'm sure he and Hayes will get along great.

Jack Brisco is on board. I smell something big.

The stage for Triumph is set! 

Muta is clearly becoming a superstar but he has a big test in front of him with Snuka. 

The Road Warriors and Twin Towers feud has been burning and it will explode at Triumph. 

I love the intrigue going on with Konnan, the Conquistadors and Pegasus. I'm still trying to figure all this out. I'm sure it'll all come together at Triumph. 

Z-Man and Ace get their moment. Can they upset the Rockers? If they don't, the Rockers have a lot more teams gunning for them. 

Trouble brewing between Sabu and Taz. 

Rhodes made a great choice with Bigelow. Him and Race have history in Chicago. 

Steamboat, Savage and the Freebirds have a serious feud going. Only Mr. T can control this. I pity the fools.

The build to Triumph has been awesome. Can't wait for the blow off.

MONDAY MARCH 27 -Triumph from Chicago Sport Arena, Chicago, Illinois

{Triumph opens with Tony Schiavone standing by with Nick Bockwinkle and Jerry Brisco. They are all putting over the big night ahead. We’ve got 5 title matches tonight… we’ve got a mask vs mask match… plus a huge six-man tag and a special four way tag team match. 

The Killer Bees vs The Nasty Boys vs The Sheepherder vs The Islanders

  • An interesting opener with these four teams letting it all shine out this evening. 
  • The match is an elimination bout. 
  • The four teams haven’t quite figured out this formula. 
  • We get some decent offense as the Killer Bees look good here with some nice double team moves. 
  • We also see a nasty spot where Tama falls off the top rope onto the apron and twists his knee pretty bad. 
  • This leads to a double dropkick on Haku and then the pinfall. 
  • The Nasty Boys show off some good moves and control the rest of the contrast but the Sheepherders bring the fight to them. 
  • We end up seeing a double DQ when the Herders and Nasties go outside the ring and we see some chairs involved.
  • The referee calls for the bell and we look inside the ring… there we see the Killer Bees have their hands raised! 
  • They will get a shot at the tag titles in a couple of weeks.

TV Title - Snuka vs The Great Muta

  • A solid contest with these two men throwing everything out there for the crowd
  • Muta looks like a rockstar right now
  • Snuka looks to be in tremendous shape and also flies around the ring.
  • We see Muta control the middle part of the contest until Snuka makes a valiant comeback
  • The crowd is solidly behind the Superfly and start to cheer
  • We see Snuka hit the ropes and then a flying headbutt on Muta!
  • Superfly is going up top….He makes the sign and leaps from the top…. But MUTA SPITS THE MYST IN HIS FACE and moves!
  • Snuka is rolling around with the green myst covering his face
  • Muta hits the ropes and then a big spinning wheel kick right to the skull!
  • Muta covers for the 3-count….
  • WE HAVE A NEW WCW Television Champion!
  • Muta holds the title up and walks up the aisle…. A star has been born. 

MASK VS MASK
Wild Pegasus vs Konnan

Konnan wins with help of the Conquistadors… but once Pegasus tries to take his mask off… Konnan stops him… he says that the mask is an honor and it must be worn with pride… Pegasus says that he has worn the mask for long enough and it is time to show the world who he really is… CHRIS BENOIT! Benoit and Konnan then shake hands. The Conquistadors make their way to the ring but Konnan and Benoit fight off the Conquistadors and send them packing!

INTERNATIONAL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
The Road Warriors © vs The Twin Towers w/ Slick

Messy ass match… Road Warriors aren’t playing well with the Towers. Slick is able to get the night stick into Bossan who nails Hawk right in the throat! This leads to a big 747 by the OMG and the 1….2….3! The Towers are the new International Tag Team Champions. Hawk looks to be in a bad way. The Towers celebrate up the aisle while the Road Warriors almost no sell it and go to the back. Interesting take on things…

WCW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
The Rockers vs Tom Zenk & Johnny Ace

Talk about two teams with the looks but only ones got the skills… that’s not the best way to say it but Zenk and Ace just don’t mesh as a team that well yet. They are polar opposites of the Rockers in regards to getting some love from the fans and also selling. The Rockers are arrogant and show offs and they do it in the ring. Shawn even gets a little testy with Ace. The finish sees Zenk get the hot tag and come in like a house of fire. He is rocking and rolling over the Rockers but then hits the ropes and Jannetty pulls it down for Zenk to go flying. Ace looks to go up top and Shawn Michaels runs and dropkicks him off the top rope to the floor and the crowd pops! Jannetty then smashes Zenk’s head into the ringpost and then tosses him in for Michaels to pin for the 3-count. The Rockers retain what is rightfully theirs in the world tag team titles… but what does this mean in regards to the International Titles…

UNITED STATES vs JAPANESE UNIFICATION MATCH
Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth vs Terry Gordy w/ Buddy Jack

A really fun contest with a lot of heat. Gordy and Savage waste no time going out of the ring and brawling. They come in the ring and do some workrate. Savage sells like he’s being murdered in the ring. We see Buddy Jack Roberts come in and try to get involved but Mr. T runs out of the back and pulls him down. He chases Roberts off into the darkness. Out of nowhere… what is going on… Gordy with the US title DESTROYS Savage! The referee calls for the bell as Gordy is beating him down in a bad way. Elizabeth even comes in the ring and Gordy rears back - not seeing her - and elbows her right in the head! Elizabeth is down! Gordy looks shocked! He drops Savage’s title and then goes up the aisle to a chorus of boos and being pelted with debris! 

SIX-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
Dusty Rhodes, Bam Bam Bigelow, & Dan Spivey vs Harley Race, Bob Orton, & The Predator

Big time six-man tag here. The crowd is solidly behind Dusty and his buddies. Race, Orton, and Predator get some decent enough head but the story of Rhodes and Race is what everyone wants to see. We get a solid taste of it here but not too much. Bam Bam starts to get frustrated about not getting a tag… Bigelow and Rhodes have been in the entire match. The big moment comes when they do come to him and Spivey comes in like a house of fire… but then he kicks DUSTY IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Rhodes goes down and Spivey spits on him! My gosh… Bigelow looks to get up and Spivey doesn’t say anything to him… but here comes the Predator with a huge flying shoulder block and Bigelow goes crashing down into the guardrail! The crowd is shocked as Spivey walks to the back. Race and Orton pick up Rhodes… SPIKE PILEDRIVER! 1…..2…….3! What in the world has happened here…

WCW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP w/ Mr. T as the special guest ring enforcer
Ricky Steamboat vs Michael PS Hayes

  • We heard from both men earlier in the evening.
  • We see Mr. T in the aisle way… he says he didn’t get his hands on Roberts but he will
  • Hayes comes out with a ton of pomp and circumstance
  • Steamboat comes out and looks more fierce than ever
  • These guys don’t quite gel…. It just isn’t there
  • Hayes - as a threat just isn’t viable enough at this point when it comes to his offense in the ring
  • Steamboat sells… sells… and sells some more for the crowd to get involved
  • About 18-minutes into the contest we see Buddy Jack walking back down the aisle but this time Mr. T is ready!
  • Roberts acts like he’s going to box him
  • Inside the ring we see the referee get knocked thanks to an errant elbow from Hayes
  • Gordy is trying to get involved… but here comes Randy Savage!
  • Mr. T is chasing Roberts to the back
  • Savage is whaling on Gordy outside the ring
  • Steamboat goes up top and flies with a crossbody on Hayes!
  • 1…..2…..3!!!
  • Steamboat retains the title! 
  • The crowd is going wild
  • We see a 3 on 3 showdown on the ramp
  • The Freebirds retreat for the babyfaces to stand tall!

Ya know, I actually like that you're willing to have some hiccups on your card. The four way tag with the wonky ending, Ace and Zenk not being over as challengers, the Road Warriors not wanting to play ball, Steamboat and Hayes not clicking, it all adds a touch of realism most of us don't bother with.

Muta is a made man beating the Superfly for the TV title.

Konnan may have won with their help but he makes clear that he is not on the Conquistadors side. Interested to see where he & Benoit go from here.

Gordy accidentally floors Elizabeth. There's gonna be hell to pay when Savage wakes up.

Spivey with the swerve of the night as he turns on Dusty. Curious to hear his reasoning.

This week, I tried something new.  I tried to follow the character show first and then read the the written part.  I must give you some big props as it was spot on.  Awesome job.

Triumph was a great show with some big surprises.  Nice job putting Benoit and Konnan together.  While they are an interesting pairing, I think they both need some help getting over and this should help.  Add in a feud with the Conquistadores, and I think 88 has become more promising for both.

I have had the Roar Warriors a few times during my years in this hobby and I always found them hard to write for.  I just found it hard to find a team that it would be believable that they would fall to.  I think you have done that.  Also, this could go back and forth for a while if you wanted.  Almost like Lawler winning and losing the Southern Title a million times.

I think a Spivey heel turn is just what this needed.  It allows the angle to continue and keeps everyone looking strong.

Freebirds... Steamboat.... Savage.... Mr. T..... Must see TV

Have to ask ... what came first? The figures or the roster? How many do you have?

Triumph had a big show feel to it and an importance to the matches. Really good stuff. Next up ... the aftermath!

I'm sure Dusty has something to spray ... err, I mean say to Dan Spivey. Would not want to be Dan Spivey right about now.

So the figure collection really started amping up last year in July. I got into customizing... then my roster on here kind of changed... so both world's clashed... now I try to only get talent that I have a figure of.

Electricity is in the air because Triumph has arrived. 

After a chaotic match, the Bees manage to stand tall in the end.

Muta beats a game Snuka for the TV title. I agree, a star is born. 

Interesting turn of events as Konnan and Benoit end the match as partners. The Conquistadors better gear up.

Twin Towers walk away with the titles and the Road Warriors no sell it. I wonder what went on in the back??? 

Well, Zenk and Ace just didn't have it tonight. However, I don't think many teams can match the Rockers right now. I'm liking this aggressive version of them. 

Oh man Gordy's in big trouble now. This could be the feud of the year.

Damn! Spivey does the shock heel turn. Heel Spivey will be fun to watch here. Dusty and Bigelow better call in the calvary. 

Steamboat and Hayes might not have gelled well, but with Mr. T, the Freebirds and Savage, the match gave the fans what they wanted. 

A lot went down at Triumph. Great job.

World Championship Wrestling 
Saturday April 1
Rockford, Illinois

{WCW opens this week with footage from Triumph! We see the new International Tag Champs the Twin Towers…. The new TV Champ the Great Muta… Chris Benoit losing his mask… the Savage and Gordy brawl… the Dan Spivey turn…. Ricky Steamboat’s Triumph…here we go!}

 

Tony Schiavone is standing by as he puts over the big night of action as we are just 12-days away from the Clash of the Champions II from Des Moines, Iowa. It has been signed… a six-man Bad Street Match… Gordy, Hayes, & Roberts versus Savage, Steamboat, & Mr. T! Also signed… the tag team title match with the Killer Bees taking on The Rockers! So much more will be announced tonight and next week… let’s head to the ring!

The Great Muta defeated Bob Marcus via the Moonsault!

We get to hear from Koko B Ware who comes out and says that he has got the shot against Muta at the Clash. He may have taken him for granted last time… but now he’s ready and he’s hot and he has got all the right moves to walk away with the GOLD!

 

The Killer Bees defeated The Shadows via the Double Drop Kick!

We hear from the Rockers who walk out with the tag titles and let the world know that this is the beginning of the greatest tag team title reign in the history of wrestling. They plan to set them up and drop them one by one as only the Rockers can do. Then… well… things get interesting… here come the Twin Towers and Slick. They are holding the International Tag Titles… Slick is challenging the Rockers… we have some officials come out… well… this is an interesting turn.

 

Dusty Rhodes comes out and he cuts a scathing promo on Dan Spivey…

Dusty: Spivey… I took you in… I gave you an inside look at the American Dream and you paid me back in scorn! The jealousy in your eyes and the malice in your heart… brother it overcame you. I don’t know what Harley Race paid you with. I don’t know what he promised you. I can only say this… I will give you the respect you deserve. I will give you the penance you seek… I will give you the forgiveness that you so desperately need. Just come to me and be the man I know you are and not the weasel that Harley Race is paying you to be!

 

The Z-Man defeated Manny Lopez

Zenk walks over and he’s joined by Johnny Ace. They put over their matches at the Clash of the Champions. Ace goes one on one with perhaps the most Dangerous Man in Wrestling… Kamala while Z-Man takes on the strong samoan… Haku! They talk about showing up big and making the most of their opportunity at the Clash to get back in the thick of things for the title hunts!

Johnny Ace defeated Vance Vincent

 

The Conquistadors defeated Tim Wright & Cael Williams

Konnan comes out to cut a promo before the Conquistadors come over… that brings out European Champion, Chris Benoit! He and Konnan have challenged the Conquistadors for a tag match at the Clash. We’ll see if they can answer the call and show exactly what their made of!

 

Harley Race walks out with Spivey, Mark Madness, & Bob Orton. They put over the control they have here in WCW. They talk about taking it apart piece by piece. The first piece is Dusty Rhodes. Spivey goes crazy and says that Rhodees is talking nonsense like usual. He is going to find his way to the bottom of the world and rest in the gutter like he deserves! Race says that at the Clash… Spivey gets to put an end to Dusty Rhodes… but if he doesn’t… Race has got another back up plan and it won’t be pretty!

 

Ricky Steamboat comes out to a big pop with Randy Savage and Mr. T. They put over the Clash and a big six-man Badstreet Match! Come as you want… survive if we let you says Randy Savage as he calls out the Freebirds! Mr. T says that he pities the fool who is going to get in his way. He wants Buddy Jack Roberts and he’s going to put an end to him! 

 

MAIN EVENT
Bam Bam Bigelow vs Bob Orton Jr.
- A good main event with these two who have grown to know each other well. We get some interest from Race and Madness who come out and circle the ring. We get some great offense from Bigelow. Here comes Dusty Rhodes to even things up. Outside the ring… wait a moment… here comes Rhodes and Race…. They are arguing outside the ring. Wait second… Spivey runs from outside the ring and attacks Rhodes! Spivey grabs Rhodes and throws him right into the ring post! Rhodes is busted wide open! Bigelow comes out to try and help out his buddy but all hell has broken loose. The referee calls for the bell as we see a lasting image of Rhode, covered in blood, Bigelow trying to protect him from Race and his cronies.

Sounds like Dusty's plea to Spivey fell on deaf ears. While I trust Dusty to give back a receipt, I am thinking that Harley Race won't let things end on Dusty's Bionic Elbow. Spivey and Race have the numbers.

Badstreet USA is exactly where the Freebirds want this 6-man match to go. Doesn't matter who is in front of them, this is Freebird territory.

Rockers/Twin Towers and two belts. Okay. I think this might turn out to be the match of the evening at Clash of the Champions II.

Schaiavone starts the show with a major announcement, a massive six man tag main event for the Clash.

Koko B Ware has a tall task ahead of him taking the TV title from Muta.

The Rockers have two top teams on their trail.

Rhodes vs Spivey should be a real slugfest.

Don't fancy Ace and Zenk's chances against Kamala and Haku respectively.

Konnan & Benoit pair up to take on Los Conquistadors.

Crazy scene to close the show as Bigelow protects a bloody Rhodes.

You really can't go wrong with Bigelow coming to Dusty's defense. Bam Bam does help even up the sides and if nothing else, put a little hesitation in Race and his cronies. Great image to end the show on with a bloody Rhodes being helped by Bam Bam. I would image the people working the camera end of things trying to break quickly from all the blood.

I agree with LST, the upcoming 6 man tag is right up the Freebirds ally. However, Steamboat and Savage are superstars and Mr. T brings the street credibility. This is going to be a wild one. 

Koko's on a roll but I don't think he will be able to stop Muta's momentum. 

Rockers vs. Twin Towers! Bring it on. I just hope Michaels can stay away from the OMG clothesline. 

It tells you how much animosity Dusty has for Harley, if he's willing to give Spivey a second chance just to keep him away from Harley.

Both Zenk and Ace have big obstacles in front of them at the Clash. 

Not sure the Conquistadors know what they've gotten themselves into. 

Sounds like Spivey is loyal to Race. 

Dusty ending the show bloody and beaten up is a big deal. Harley has put together quite a stable. 

Things are red hot in WCW!

World Championship Wrestling 
Saturday April 8
Dubuque, Iowa

WCW opens this week with Tony Schiavone standing by…. Wait a minute… here’s some rock music… what is this…. Who is this? Good Gawd it is Diamond Dallas Page! DDP comes out and grabs the microphone from Tony Schiavone… DDP says he’s the new co-host of this show and he should be the headliner but the big wigs at WGN don’t know what to do with real talent. DDP says we got a whale of a show tonight… we got the World Champ here… the US Champ is here… and DDP is here… what more could you want? Good Gawd! Schiavone is flabbergasted as we head to the ring for our opening match! 

 

The Twin Towers defeated Mac Holliday & Justin Timbs via the 747 Splash!

Slick walks over and slaps hands with DDP. They talk jive for a moment and then the Towers get on the line to let the world know they have got no fear when it comes to professional wrestling. They plan on taking down the Rockers and showing the World why they are the most dominant tag team in wrestling. Slick says it is only a matter of time before the world sees the destruction that the Twin Towers can do!

 

We’re back from break and here come the Rockers. They talk about their big match with the Killer Bees this week at the Clash but they know the Twin Towers will be waiting in the wings. Marty and Shawn both point out how these two big bafoons are going to be in a world of hurt when they get done with them. The world is going to know why this gold belongs to the Rockers and there is nothing they can do about it!

The Killer Bees defeated Tommy George & Mike Wallace via the Double Dropkick!

Harley Race then walks out with Spivey, Orton, & Mark Madness. They make it real simple… tonight Rhodes and Bigelow face Spivey and MAdness and they’ll be lucky to make it out alive… but if they do… haha… at the Clash we will put the finishing touches on them once and for all! Tonight is the beginning of the end for Dusty Rhodes!

 

We’re back from break and we get an elaborate entrance for the WCW Television Champion… the Great Muta! He comes out in his ceremonial head dress for his match and this guy has got star written all over him.

The Great Muta defeated Mikey Bryant via the Top Rope Moonsault!

Koko B Ware comes out and he let’s Muta know he isn’t going to be fooled this time. He is going to walk out with the tv title! Muta walks over and Koko continues to take some jabs… but then Muta with the MYST! Koko is blinded while Muta is putting the boots to him! Officials and agents run over to try and stop things. Muta makes the throat slash sign and points down at Koko who seems to be in a bad way before he even gets going! 

 

We have Johnny Ace and Tom Zenk come out and they work the crowd. They put over their big contests this week with Haku and Kamala. They talk about being contenders for the tv titles and want to get their shot sooner than later.

Kamala defeated Skip Jackson and Mark Dukes via the count out when he threw both men out of the ring. 

Jimmy Snuka comes out to put over his match with Bob Orton this week at the Clash. He talks about wanting to earn his rematch with Muta… he plans to beat Orton and then get his chance at the gold that he doesn’t feel he should have lost. 

 

DDP and Schiavone are back and put over the issue with Muta and Koko… they talk about Koko being okay… we’ll see if he can challenge this week for the television title! They talk about the US title and World Champion… Randy Savage and Rick Steamboat who will be joining us when we come back from break. They are going to team with Mr. T and take on the Birds in the Bad Street Brawl. The Faces all put over the Clash and show off their Gold and Titles accordingly. Mr. T says he is going to get his hands on Buddy Jack and put him down for good. Savage says that Gordy is one elbow drop away from a date with his destiny. Ricky Steamboat then puts over how Michael Hayes is going to hear a song… but not his own… it will be the song that is song when the night is over and the Freebirds reign comes to an end!

Chris Benoit defeated Jesse Hernandez via the top rope headbutt

 

Benoit and Konnan go over to Schiavone and DDP. They talk about their tag match at the Clash. We then see the Conquistadors walk over… they say something in spanish to the translation of “Vas a estar en un mundo de peligro. No aceptaremos ninguna piedad ni mostraremos ninguna compasión. ¡Tomaremos su máscara y tomaremos sus títulos!”

 

DDP and Schiavone are back with the Freebirds and we see DDP chumming it up with them. They talk about the Clash and how this will be the most Triumphant moment in the history of the Freebirds. They want everyone to come out to Des Moines… take a picture of Savage, T, and Steamboat… because it will be the last time anyone sees them in WCW!

Dusty Rhodes & Bam Bam vs Dan Spivey & Mark Madness ends up being a fun little contest with the highlight being the rise of Bam Bam. The crowd is so behind him and Rhodes is working the eye that was injured last week. Mark Madness just doesn’t have the best skillset to get in there and make a difference but he’s doing everything he can. Spivey does a majority of the work. The final moments are winding down while television time is about to expire… we see Bigelow with a huge powerslam on Madness for the 3-count! On the other side of the ring, Orton and Race pull Rhodes out of the ring and throw him into the ringpost! Rhodes is busted open again while Bam Bam makes chase. This is getting out of hand!

The thought of Schavonie paired up with a heel DDP cracks me up.

Between the Towers & the Bees, The Rockers have some tough times ahead.

Race & his boys look to take out the competition before the Clash.

Muta lets his actions do the talking against Ware.

Ace and Zenk are bravely heading into their battles with the monsters.

Snuka vs Orton should be a old school classic.

T, Savage & Steamboat are all pumped for the Badstreet Brawl. But the Freebirds will be in their element.

No idea what Los Conquistadors just said but I'm betting it pissed Konnan off!

Bigelow shines in the main event.

WCW got instantly better with DDP added as an announcer. I always remember him as being "something different" and being a lot of fun with tons of energy.

I sure hope that isn't Mike Wallace the newscaster moonlighting.

I like Koko but not his chances against Muta in any kind of match. Sure he is a decent wrestler but Muta is something special.

Imagine that ... Dusty Rhodes getting busted open! Even with Bam Bam Bigelow by his side, I think this is just the beginning of the bloodletting. Still, together they really are a team to beat and could see them as one of the top tag teams should they decide to chase the titles down the road.
