No idea how you're keeping up with both promotions and both shows and all the talent. I really like the Woman and Luger pairing. Going back - her value as a manager is supremely underrated. She is also peak fire right now. Rick Steiner vs Duggan is a dream match for Bobby Heenan or Jesse Ventura lol. These two tough guys won't let the other budge and quite frankly I don't blame them. Supremecy is hard to come by with this group and these two have got the toughness to hold their own.

World Championship Wrestling Saturday March 18 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! World Championship Wrestling 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.

This is so good... please keep it up... I love to see this kind of creativity! I've tried these things in the past but always falter.

Road Warriors sheepherders nasty boys kamala dusty rhodes all on the block, let me know if you’re interested

World Championship Wrestling Saturday March 11 Kansas City, Missouri 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?

World Championship Wrestling Saturday March 4 Omaha, Nebraska Gonna be a quick show - birthday weekend for the little guy… Opening with the Freebirds and Terry Gordy the NEW Japan Heavyweight Champion! Gordy says that he won the Japanese championship in grand fashion and he plans on doing the same when he gets his hands on Randy Savage! A formal challenge is made for Triumph! We also find out that Michael PS Hayes is going to go one on one with Ricky the Dragon Steamboat for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Triumph. Next week in Kansas City we will see a tag team match with the Freebirds going against Steamboat and Savage! Koko Ware defeated Taz via DQ when Sabu got involved. We also saw Jimmy Snuka come down and try to break things up. The Twin Towers defeated Mark Starr & Kevin James The Road Warriors vs the Twin Towers is official for Triumph! Savage and Steamboat cut promos on the Freebirds and defending their titles at Triumph. Savage knows Gordy is a big and strong man… but Savage has the heart of a lion. Steamboat knows that Hayes can play every trick in the book. He is a man that can’t be trusted and a man who will do anything to get what he wants! The Killer Bees vs The Islanders was a good 12-minute contest ending with the Islanders getting a hug win thanks to a Haku crescent kick. The Rockers cut a promo on both teams saying they are willing to put the titles on the line at any point in time against any team. The Sheepherders defeated Ritchie Rhodes & Walter Williams The Nasty Boys cut a promo talking about the world tag team titles and how they want their shot. We hear that Nick Bockwinkle will have an announcement regarding the tag team titles next week! Konnan defeated Henrique Von Schmitz Wild Pegasus comes out to let everyone know that his European title isn’t on the line at Triumph but his mask is. He earned the mask traveling through Mexico, Japan, and Europe. He has defeated men right and left to keep his mask. The title is important but the mask is paramount to his career and no one is taking it from him! Dan Spivey v Bob Orton turns into complete chaos. Spivey looks like he’s ready for the next step in his career. Orton - on the tail end of his career does everything he can to keep things going. This one ends up breaking down when Harley Race gets involved from commentary. He is arguing with Spivey which leads to Orton kneeing him in the back and sending him out of the ring. Now we see Race and Orton both attack Spivey and lay in the boots…. This brings out Dusty Rhodes and the crowd explodes. Rhodes goes right after Race with some big time right hands. Rhodes then hammers down on Orton and sends him backward. It is at this time that the Predator comes out of the back and nails Rhodes! Predator throws Rhodes into the ring post and he is busted wide open. Spivey attempts to make a comeback but Predator comes with a clothesline and his arm is wrapped in the steel chain! We have officials andd agents out here to break things up. Rhodes is busted over his eye. Spivey is being helped by the referees. Race is all smiles as he leads Orton and Predator to the back… what will happen next week!?!

yeah like Brisco would be a lacky/authority figure with Bockwinkle on a weekly basis but never wrestle and Mr. t would have a celebrity shot - non wrestling - maybe angle for a couple of 2-3 months. He may end up in a gimmick six-man but one match or maybe 2 at the absolute most.

I was wondering if Jerry Brisco and Mr. T would be available to add to World Championship Wrestling?

Mid South is still getting its footing with some of these guys... I will echo the same sentiment about Luger/Vader vs Williams/Reed n a cage. Big time main event. I always thought Luger and Vader w/ Harley Race would have been a helluva combo. "Murdoch, Scott Steiner and Hercules Hernandez rush out to aid JYD… " - I always marked out when something like this happened... always cool to see the babyface come out to help another.

The young guns of PCW have a lot of ammo lately. I always appreciated the wild side to Bret Hart when he's brawl with Austin and others. He had the dimension and went to it when he needed to. I am also interested in Curt Hennig v the Undertaker. This is a match that would be fun to check out if it ever happened.

I agree with a lot of what Kevin is saying in regards to Adams and Nikita. I loved having Adams as a top tier guy in Windy City and I always thought he had so much to give to a company in that role. You've got him in a prime spot here. The special contest from the Tokyo Dome is a fun addition - I wonder if they were there the same time Race and the Road Warriors were

NWA is continuing the loop... I like how some of these guys are getting another chance to shine in the NWA. Obviously we've got some huge names but then you've got guys like Kabuki and the Moondogs who are making themselves relevant again. Jimmy is jamming here and looks to have some problems with his brother/uncle/cousin/father in law. Finally - Norman Smiley and Ric Flair. Who are you to doubt El Dandy? Not here fella... everyone deserves a shot and Smiley did what he could!

World Championship Wrestling Saturday February 25 Dubuque, Iowa The Road Warriors debut their international tag team championship for everyone to see. They put over the Japanese tournament with teams from all over the world. They look forward to putting these titles on the line anytime and anywhere! This brings out the Slickster who says he wants to challenge the Road Warriors for those titles right there! The Road Warriors say anytime and anywhere… Slick says he will be in touch… The One Man Gang w/ Slick and Bossman defeated Johnny Sorrow via the 747 Splash! We get a great promo from Dusty Rhodes… he comes out and has scorn on his face and hatred in his eyes. He says that he is a defeated man but he ain’t broken. He is going back to the basics to get his hands on Harley Race. If he has to face the madness face to face he will do whatever it takes to put an exclamation point on the end of this feud and finally put Race to Rest! Koko & Snuka defeated Johnny Michaels & Ken Wayne Smith - Sabu and Taz came out to interrupt and attack Koko and Snuka… all hell breaks loose! The Predator Mark Madness killed Matthew Green via the Lariat! The Predator joins Harley Race and Bob Orton at the commentary area. They put over their issue with Dusty Rhodes but now we see Harley Race turn his attention to Dan Spivey. Spivey and Race were in the tag team tournament in Japan last week and it was Spivey who lost the match and cost them the titles. Spivey then comes out to confront them… he says he will make it right when he beats the hell out of Orton next week! Mexican Champion Konnan defeated Kip Gunshaw via the top rope Dropkick! European Champion Wild Pegasus then comes out and lets Konnan know that this issue with them is far from over and he says he is going to challenge Konnan one more time… but not just for the titles… but a MASK VS MASK MATCH! The Great Muta defeated Mistik Maximus via the spinning heel kick! We then get a good promo from Ricky Steamboat putting over his big title match with Bigelow. He says he isn’t sure who the next challenger will be but at Triumph he’s prepared to defend the title…. Then we see Hayes and Roberts come out and they cut a nice promo about how Gordy is currently in Japan and he is going to come back with Gold and then he is going to take Steamboats GOLD! Steamboat tries to talk but Roberts gets in his face… .then Hayes smacks Steamboat and tells him to listen up but wait a moment… RANDY SAVAGE! Savage comes out and attacks Hayes and Roberts. Steamboat has to hold him back! MAIN EVENT WCW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Rockers defended the Tag Titles against the Sheepherders. This was a fun little 12-minute match with all four men getting in some offense. The Rockers did look good here and could be heard getting some love from the fans. Jannetty and Michaels are smooth as silk and some big time tag team moves and the Sheepherders hold their own. It is outside of their style but they go toe to toe with the Rockers and the crowd is feeling it. We geat near the end and chaos ensues with all four-men getting involved and then it is the Sheepherders who go into their bag of tricks and find some kind of a weapon from under the ring… is that a wrench? CRACK right on the back of Marty Jannetty and the referee calls for the bell. Michaels has to check on Jannetty but here comes Luke and Butch with a double team on Michaels… oh my… We’ve got to go!

Wednesday February 22nd - CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS I Gone to Japan: The Road Warriors Danny Spivey, Kamala, and Harley Race WCW is live for Clash of the Champions here in Champaign, Illinois!

Snuka gets the 3-count but Taz jumps in the ring Taz and Sabu beat down Snuka until Koko Ware comes out to break things up Koko helps Snuka up… these two might have some unfinished business! The Killer Bees vs The Twin Towers w/ Slick is a no contest… then awarded to the Killer Bees via DQ when the Twin Towers attack them before the bell. The Bossman used the night stick and beat down Blair while One Man Gang attempted to hang Brunzell over the top rope with the chain! They go up to Schiavone and Bockwinkle and run down the Road Warriors. They put over how they ran away to Japan but when they do come back it won’t be a nice return but rather their complete destruction! European Champion vs Mexican Champion Wild Pegasus © vs Konnan © This was a wild contest with both men throwing everything they had out in the ring. The Mexican and European Championship were on the line. Pegasus hits a nasty diving headbutt! Konnan hits a disgusting powerbomb that puts Pegasus right on his skull. Pegasus hits a crossbody that takes men over the top to the floor. They battle all the way up the aisle before the referee counts to 10. This one is far from over. Schiavone puts over how both of these men will be heading to Japan in the morning for a special Japanese title tournament. He also talks about Terry Gordy, Dan Spivey, and Harley Race being a part of the tournament. He said that the Road Warriors were in the finals of a special tag team tournament. Could they return to WCW with the international tag team titles? Speaking of tag titles… it is time to see the Rockers and the Islanders go head to head. WCW Tag Championship The Rockers © vs the Islanders w/ Skandar Akbar This ends up being a little bit of a letdown They go about 15-minutes but there’s just no heat Haku and Tama are heels… so are the Rockers… the fans know it This one has some decent back and forth There’s a really slick finish with Michaels leaping from the top rope and hitting Haku outside the ring Inside the ring, Tama gets taken out by Marty Jannetty. 1….2….3 and the Rockers retain… Dusty Rhodes comes out and he is calling out Harley Race!

They are doubling up on Rhodes and choking him out with the chain! Referees and agents run out and try to break this up… my oh my… WCW United States Championship Randy Savage © w/ Elizabeth vs Michael Hayes w/ The Freebirds This one on the other hand has got some real juice. Hayes gets so much heat while Savage has all the shine you could ever imagine The Freebirds play with Elizabeth but Savage continues to go out there and get involved We see the Birds attack Savage multiple times Savage ten goes on the attack on the Birds! When Savage gets back in the ring we see Hayes with a quick roll up for a close 2-count Savage tries to work his way back but the Birds continue to get involved What a finish… we see Savage go up top and he throws down a double ax handle smash on all of them! The referee counts to 10 for the double count out… but the Birds use the 3-1 advantage! They are attacking Savage and they leave him lay… they say that the title is going to be there soon enough! WCW Heavyweight Championship Ricky Steamboat © vs Bam Bam Bigelow Huge main event… both men with a lot of momentum… here we go.

Sorry I am late catching up... you've got some pretty fun stories being told here. I think that the Vader stuff is captivating me the most. 1988... he's a hoss for sure... I always like Jake and Dibiase and what they could put together so this one keeps me intrigued. The Hacksaw comes back for more... he's got unfinished business. The big match with JYD and Dibiase has always been money in this territory... nothing wrong with seeing if that well is still wet. Vader... Williams... Luger... Reed... Mid South has got everything from top to bottom.

I feel like the transition with the AWA is in full swing... and I mean that will all due respect. You are moving the pieces around like small stones in a huge stream but some rocks are bigger than others. A guy like Bad News will hold strong and be a solid key to this roster while new guys like Nikita and Warrior come to find their footing. I am pulling for the Gentlemen to show his mean streak and be more than he ever thought he could be here...

I am eager to see the fallout from this Hawaii show... the scope of the company could change. On another note... I am happy to see Scott Hall's success. I am glad he landed on his feet here.

You've got a great grasp on writing up these shows... the longer and the short. I am jealous of the short write ups... I think my focus on using the figures is hindering me in a big but you've things going in the right direction. The Garvin story is one I have always been on the fence about... brothers... cousins... step-dad... who knows. Last note... the Horsemen... where do they stand in the ever changing world of the NWA. I don't know if they are the force that they once were. I have always thought that the key to the Horsemen's success was their opponents... the bigger and stronger they were the better the Horsemen could be.

World Championship Wrestling Saturday February 11 Peoria, Illinois WCW opens this week with Tony Schiavone standing by alongside Nick Bockwinkle. They put over a huge night of action as we lead up to the Clash of the Champions, live on February the 22nd. We know that Ricky Steamboat and Bam Bam Bigelow will take on one another that night.

He was right in the face of Tony Schiavone and Nick Bockwinkle. It is fair to say that Bam Bam is a man possessed with the WCW title! Dusty Rhodes and Harley Race went back and forth about the Clash of the Champion. Race says that he is scheduled to go to Japan and won't be in the building... but he'll send something for Rhodes in his stead! The Road Warriors came out and they were full of piss and vinegar. They talked about facing the Twin Towers but also that they have been contracted to compete in Japan with a couple of other WCW Superstars. They want the match and want it sooner than later! United States Champion Randy Savage along with Elizabeth put over their issue with the Freebirds. Savage puts over how he sent Jim Garvin packing and will soon do the same to the birds… one by one… it starts with Hayes and ends when they are all gone! Mexican Champion Konnan and European Champion Wild Pegasus went eye to eye and made it clear that only one of them will walk out with BOTH titles come the Clash of the Champions! The Freebirds put over their issue with Randy Savage. Hayes says that he has got the first shot but it will be the only one they need. They’ll get their hands on the US Title… then the World Title… and the TV title to get revenge on Snuka. When all is said and done… the Freebirds will be draped in gold! WCW Heavyweight Champion Ricky Steamboat was not shy with his words that Bam Bam Bigelow is the perfect opponent to build up that fear of losing. Steamboat says he knows he can’t match the size or strength of Bigelow but his speed and technique will be the equalizer. The title will be on the line but the career is the most important thing. This will be a match that shapes both men’s careers. They will never be the same when it is said and done!

Konnan vs Wild Pegasus The Mexican Champion vs The European Champion. These two get going right in the ring. We get to see about 5-minutes of what they could do. We see lots of speed and some catch as catch can wrestling. Soon Pegasus gets pissed and tackles Konnan out of the ring to the floor. The referee tries to get involved and break this up but no way no how as these guys get double counted out. What does this mean for the gauntlet? Buddy Jack Roberts w/ Hayes vs Johnny Ace A good little showcase here but it is all about The Freebirds using the numbers to their advantage. Hayes gets involved every chance he gets which brings out the Z-man. Then we see Gordy come out. Then we see Koko come out.

Promos: The Rockers show off a new look and the WCW tag titles. They discuss how the Road Warriors can stake a claim to being top contenders but the way that they see it - they’ve dealt with them and now it is on to the rest! Dan Spivey says that he is a lost man right now… there is so much he has left to accomplish in this sport that he’s willing to throw himself to the wolves and sacrifice anything to get to the top of the mountain! Bam Bam Bigelow is beyond frustrated… he says that Steamboat is a champion… but in order to be a true champion… he should give Bigelow a shot at the title. Road Warrior Hawk & Road Warrior Animal come out and they are jacked to the gills.

He has challenged Race… what will Race do? Randy Savage & Elizabeth come out with the US title and they are working the fans. Savage says that this title is the symbol of wrestling and one that he holds very near and very dear to his heart… but he knows the ultimate prize is the world title. He says that his dear friend Rick Steamboat is the champion and when the time is right… he’s going to cash in the US title for that shot. (It is explained that the US Champion can turn in the title in order to face the world champion. If he wins… he becomes World Champion… if he loses… the US Title goes “vacant” and is decided by the former US Champion and number one contender) Ricky Steamboat comes out to a great ovation. He is holding the WCW Title around his waist and he says that this title proves he is one of the best in the world. As long as he has it… he will be known as the best but he knows that the hungriest wolf is the one going up the hill not the one at the top. He is ready to face any and all challengers whenever they come up. He says that he and Bam Bam Bigelow will in fact have their rematch at the Clash of the Champions. He is a fighting champion who will give every man their shot… Bigelow has earned his and Steamboat is obliged to make it happen!

Snuka and Knobbs sell just enough to keep it interesting. European Champion… WILD PEGASUS! Pegasus runs out and takes Konnan right to the floor. These two men are beating the hell out of one another.

Time is moving fast… Jerry Sags runs out and the Nasty Boys are together! We see our first eliminations as Pegasus and Konnan are locked up in a corner and the Nasties toss them to the floor! The Nasty Boys then run over double clothesline Luke… he goes out of the floor. The Z-Man Tom Zenk runs down and joins Snuka for a little bit of a tag team match. They are giving the Nasty Boys all they can handle but the Boys get a step of momentum on Snuka and he gets tossed over Thankfully here comes Koko Ware and he quickly jumps in the ring. A couple of huge dropkicks! The Nasties recoup and get Zenk out of the ring to the floor! Koko then comes with a dropkick on Knobbs who runs into Sags and they go out of the ring to the floor!

Gordy is pounding away and it doesn’t look good for Savage but he has got some fight left in him.

Well - if you needed a reason to check out the show... doesn't get much better than this. I would be interested to see how Bret and Neidhart did work against one another... there should be a tag match out there with them where Anvil is with Owen and Bret with Davey... On the other side - 1988 Barry Windham...Curt Hennig... about as legit as it gets with young up and coming talent who is THERE when you think about what they've done here in PCW. Bonafide stars anywhere in the country at this point. Backlund vs Dean is also a match I would be interested in... two legit pros who could work the ring and the fans. What I love most about PCW is how you've got a little bit of everything and some big time names doing different things. Brings out the best in the talent.

I love BATTLEKAT! The Mecca looks to be stacked for what will be a barnburner to start 88. This Austin Idol stuff is awesome and just shows he had some juice left. I am enjoying what you're doing wit him. The same goes for Adams and Nikita. Two big time stars who were always a rung down are now at the top of the heap and the AWA will follow their lead. After looking up Gerry on YT... he'll be a welcome treat for the AWA.
