Background and other Information
This is a complete fantasy WCW, with all wrestlers from the past available to me.
Therefore, you will have guys wrestling and feuding with each other from different eras so don’t be alarmed if you see Abdullah the Butcher squashing Rey Mysterio or the like popping up every now and again! You should think of the talent in terms of how they were when at the top of their games.
The format will take shape of a weekly Nitro show and a PPV on the last Sunday of each month.
NB - This post will be updated from time to time, alerting you of any changes and will hold all the title information etc
I guess all there is left to say is that I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to provide comment on what you think is good or bad about the show, just try to keep it constructive!

WCW Monday Nitro (Georgia Dome, Atlanta) Attendance – 38,196
As the Nitro logo disappears from screen, we get to the arena which goes dark and the big screen is showing a countdown from 10, 9, 8… ...as the zero hits, Rob Zombie and his band start playing “Feel So Numb”, which is the new Nitro theme song.
As the song draws to a close, the Pyrotechnics go off and the excitement of the Nitro crowd is there for all to see as the camera’s pan round them!
Schiavone – Welcome everybody to the return of wrestling’s premier television show, Monday Nitro. For this special 3 hour episode, I’m joined by Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and Jesse “The Body” Ventura.
Jesse – Great to be here, Schiavone! It’s been too long, not long enough since seeing you though, Weasel! (laughter between him and Schiavone)
Brain – (looking disgusted, he shakes Jesse’s jibe off) This crowd is pumped and I’m looking forward to seeing what our esteemed General Manager has in store for us…
As soon as he says this, Bischoff’s music hits and he strolls to the ring, lapping up the crowd.
Schiavone – “Looks like you won’t have to wait long, Brain!”
The camera focuses on Bischoff in the ring,
Bischoff – (with a smile) “Guess who’s back?!”
The crowd pops big time
“MONDAY NITRO is alive and well… Tonight is a special night where all titles are up for grabs… including the WCW World Title! This will be done by having 2 semi final matches, with the winners facing off in the main event tonight, for the WCW World Title. Everyone on the roster has a chance and this will be selected at random. Without further a do let’s find out who is in with a chance of becoming the new WCW World Champion!!”
As Bischoff points up at the big screen, at the top of the ramp, the Georgia Dome goes dark and the camera focuses on the big screen which scrolls through the roster to reveal…
Arn Anderson and he will face… Sting!
Next up is Barry Windham and he will face… Lex Luger!
The lights go up and the camera is back on Bischoff…
Bischoff – “In my opinion 4 very worthy contenders for the title and I would like to take this opportunity to wish all 4 the very best of luck in their matches tonight!”
Bischoff's music plays and he then leaves the ring, walking up the aisle to rapturous applause from the Atlanta cowd!

As we come back from commercial break, Michael Buffer is in the ring, microphone in hand…
“Live from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, for the thousands in attendance and the millions watching around the world, Ladies and Gentlemen, LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!”
Arn Anderson’s music hits
“Coming down the aisle weighing in at 255 pounds from Rome, Georgia, “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson!”
Jesse – “the home crowd not too welcoming for The Enforcer, Schiavone!”
Brain – “The Enforcer doesn’t need the crowd behind him, he looks ready for this match and I don’t think I have ever seen him look this determined…”
“And his opponent weighing in at 258 pounds, from Venice Beach, THIS IS STING!!!”
The crowd goes wild as Sting walks through the curtain and down to the ring
Semi Final for WCW World Title - “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson vs Sting
Finish
With Sting stuck in the corner, “The Enforcer” misjudges a running clothesline. Sting moves to the side, hits Anderson with a vicious chop and throws him into the opposite corner and as if from nowhere, hits the Stinger Splash. Anderson is left reeling and allows Sting to hit the Stinger Deathdrop…
The referee counts 1, 2, 3!
Winner – Sting by pinfall
Sting laps up the win and heads to the back, high-fiving a few fans as he walks the aisle. Before Arn Anderson even gets a chance to get out of the ring, Raven’s music hits and he looks ready for a match. Even though the announcer quickly runs into the ring, Raven is already in there…
“This next match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WCW Television Championship! Introducing first, from The Bowery, weighing in at 244 pounds, Raven”
As he is announced, the camera focuses on him shouting at Arn Anderson, telling him to get out of the ring and that he is an “old has been”
“…and his opponent from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Weighing in at 227 pounds, “The Rocket” Owen Hart”.
WCW Television Title - Raven v “The Rocket” Owen Hart
It is Owen who gets off to the better start and quickly proves that he is the more athletic of the two wrestlers as he hits Raven with a few dropkicks. As the match goes on, Raven manages to gather a bit of composure and in an attempt to break up “The Rocket’s” momentum, he slips under the ropes to the outside. As he does this we cut to the commentary booth…
Schiavone – “We hate to leave the action, but we gotta go to commercial – we’ll be right back!”

As we return from commercial, Stevie Richards has made his way down the ramp during the break and is jumping about outside the ring, trying to encourage Raven, who has found himself caught in a sharpshooter. Richards’ cheerleading seems to work as Raven manages to get to the ropes, with the referee enforcing the breaking of the hold. The match continues…
Finish
Both wrestlers are exchanging blows and get to the corner. The referee tries to get in to break them up and gets bumped. As quick as a flash, Owen tends to the referee and as he does Stevie Richards slips a steel chair in the ring. As Owen gets to his feet he gets a kick to the gut and Raven hits the Even Flow on the chair. Richards discards the chair, Raven orders him to revive the referee who counts 1, 2, 3.
“The winner of this bout and new WCW Television Champion… Raven”
This is greeted with a chorus of boos from the furious Atlanta crowd, who were clearly rooting for Owen Hart!
Schiavone – “The crowd don’t like this outcome…”
Jesse – “They don’t have to like it, Schiavone, intelligent from Raven and the numbers game pays off!”
Semi Final for the WCW World Title - Barry Windham v Lex Luger
Jesse - “What we are all interested in is, can he get Windham in that Torture Rack ”
Brain – “Luger is a great athlete and I’m sure he can do it with or without the Torture Rack!”
Finish
Windham, who started the match excellently does everything he can think of to put Luger away but just comes up short and as he runs the ropes in an attempt to hit a flying lariat, Luger manages to duck it and as Windham comes back of the ropes, he manages to lift Windham up and into the Torture Rack… Windham looks in extreme pain… he submits…
Winner – Lex Luger by submission

As we return from the commercial break, Mean Gene has stopped Raven for an interview...
Mean Gene – “I’m here with the new WCW Television Champion but I have to say, Raven, what a despicable way to win a title!”
Raven – “Despicable, diabolical, many words have been used to describe my actions from day one, Gene, but where is the justification in ignoring the reasons for my actions?! These people have ridiculed, mocked, abused even. What about me?! What about Raven?! When will I get the respect I deserve? Seems like I will only get it when I take it! Quoth the Raven. Nevermore!”
As Raven walks away, Gene just shakes his head…
“Back to you Tony”
Schiavone – “Well, we have a new Television champion, our main event sorted for tonight and we still have 2 other titles to be contested! What a great way to kick start Nitro! Lets get back to the ring…”
The camera is focussed on the announcer in the ring,
Announcer – “This next match is a 10 man Battle Royal for the WCW United States Title and will start with 2 wrestlers in the ring, with another entering every 90 seconds. Elimination occurs when you are thrown over the top rope and both feet touch the floor! Introducing first from Robbinsdale, Minnesota weighing in at 251 pounds ‘Ravishing’ Rick Rude! Drawing second entry in the battle royal, from Austin, Texas and weighing in at 260 pounds, he is ‘The Natural’ Dustin Rhodes!”
WCW United States Title Battle Royal
The match begins at a frantic pace with Rhodes and Rude exchanging blows and offence with neither able to take the advantage, the countdown begins – 10, 9, 8…
3rd entrant – Chris Jericho
Elimination - Dustin Rhodes by Jericho
4th entrant – Sid Vicious
5th entrant – Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
Elimination - Jericho by Sid
Elimination - Rick Rude by Steamboat and Sid
6th entrant - Big Van Vader
7th entrant – Cactus Jack
Elimination - Cactus Jack by Vader
8th entrant – Scott Hall
9th entrant – Eddie Guerrero

Finish
A physically drained Steamboat manages to eliminate Big Van Vader and Goldberg by dislodging Goldberg’s standing foot as he is attempting to eliminate Big Van Vader, both their weights pulls them both over the top rope and to the floor!
“The winner of the 10 man over the top rope battle royal and your new WCW United States Champion… Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat!”
The crowd reaction is unbelievable as Steamboat lifts the title over his head

The commercial break is over and we are confronted with the commentary team…
Schiavone - This is for the big one, the WCW World Title will be contested by 2 of the best wrestlers on the roster. Who are you going for Jesse?
Jesse - I’m split down the middle Schiavone, this could go any way tonight but what I am sure of is that this will be a great match
Brain?
Brain – I'm going for Luger tonight, I have a feeling that this match will provide something interesting...
What do you mean?
Nothing... enjoy the match
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your main event! Live from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta!"
WCW World Title - Sting vs Lex Luger
Finish
Luger has Sting in the torture rack but Sting manages to slip off Luger’s shoulders and as he falls to the mat, he sweeps Luger’s legs away from him. With Luger on his back Sting grabs both legs and quickly applies the Scorpion Deathlock which provides the biggest crowd pop of the night. Luger tries to get the ropes but every time he gets close Sting, with face paint practically gone, manages to haul him back to the centre of the ring. Luger eventually taps out.
“The winner and new WCW World Champion… STING!”
Schiavone – "Sting wins the title, he's our new champion!!"
As Sting is celebrating, we see Arn Anderson jumping the guard rail and he proceeds to attack a physically exhausted Sting.
Schiavone - “what is Arn doing? Why is he attacking Sting?”
Brain – “I’m sure all will be revealed, Schiavone!”
Jesse – “He’s obviously still hot from losing to Sting at the top of the night!”
Anderson looks over at Luger. Luger smiles at Anderson and turns to kick Sting.
Anderson picks up the belt, looks at it, then places it on Sting’s stomach.
Anderson and Luger stand over him with their hands raised.
The crowd are deafening in there displeasure!
Schiavone – what do you know, Brain?!
Brain – (unconvincingly with a wry smile) I don’t know a thing!
You do, what do you know, Brain!
I don’t, if I knew anything I’d say, it’s my job to report what I know!
Hmm, I’m not convinced! Thanks to you all for tuning in to see the return of wrestling’s number one show! This is far from over so tune in next week to catch more of the excitement!

This could be epic, finding it a bit hard to keep up just now though with so many different era's being involved but will catch on no worries, thought you might have created a bit of hype over a number of weeks for the WCW title though, although its a good first champ, instantly recognisable
You've definitely got the best announce team, if you can keep them in character that will be worth the read alone
Also, just because I'm a pedantic old swine, I love how Raven ends his promo's but I always thought it was Quoth not Quote

WCW Monday Nitro (Bank Atlantic Center, Fort Lauderdale) Attendance – 22,500
Schiavone – “Welcome everyone to Monday Nitro, I’m Tony Schiavone and I’m joined by Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan and Jesse “The Body” Ventura for what promises to be an exciting edition of Nitro in the run up to Sunday’s pay per view extravaganza, The Great American Bash, where…”
Heenan – “…where Luger will win the WCW World Title!”
“After Eric Bischoff has announced that they will face off again at The Great American Bash, he certainly has a better chance than ever now that he has the Enforcer backing him up! Disgraceful actions last week from Luger and Anderson on what should have been a great celebration for Sting, as he became the new WCW World Champion!”
Ventura – “Boo hoo! This is professional wrestling, not the ballet, Schiavone! If Sting can’t handle that sort of attention then he shouldn’t be the World champion!”
“The match was won, Jess, absolutely no way in the World that the actions of Arn Anderson and Lex Luger can be justified or defended!”
Arn Anderson’s music hits…
“Guess we won’t have to wait too long to find out why he did it! Oh and look, “The Total Package” is with him!”
We cut to the ring where Arn Anderson and Lex Luger look extremely pleased with themselves…
Anderson points up to the screen and we cut to the action from the end of last week’s Nitro where Sting is brutally attacked form behind by Anderson and both Luger and himself continue to attack the physically exhausted Sting.
Arn Anderson - “Well, well, well, Stinger! You never quite learn do you, Son?! Do you really think that Arn Anderson would be content after losing to you? A legendary Horseman, the Enforcer… think again! I have seen and done it all and I got my name by having my boy’s backs when it was needed! I looked around the locker room and saw nothing but prima donnas with masks, face paints and fancy costumes… all but one man stood out for me… that man is LEX LUGER! I now have his back and Eric Bischoff has granted The Total Package a rematch on Sunday night where the title will be where it belongs…”
Luger – “…round my perfectly chiselled waist! But before we get to Sunday we asked for a little prelude to what is going to happen to you on Sunday, so Sting… get yourself a tag partner because we are going to have ourselves a little tag team match tonight!”
As the promo ends Luger's music hits and he and Anderson raise their arms before leaving the ring to walk up the aisle.
“So what do you think of that, Schiavone? A little tag team match for our main event tonight!” “I am wondering who Sting is going to pick as his tag team partner, Jess!”
(sarcastically)- “Probably a prima donna with a mask or fancy costume!!”
“Hilarious, Brain! We have to go to commercial people but we’ll be right back with more exciting action!”
COMMERCIAL
We return to Nitro with the Jushin “Thunder” Liger already in the ring…
Announcer – “In the corner to my left from Hiroshima, Japan Weighing in at 210 pounds… Jushin “Thunder” Liger! And his opponent from El Paso, Texas. He weighs in at 228 pounds… Eddie Guerrero!”
Jushin “Thunder” Liger v Eddie Guerrero
FINISH In what was a pretty even 8 minute opening match, with both wrestlers getting in some pretty decent offence, the match comes to a finish as Liger hits Eddie with a Shooting Star Press from the top rope. 1... 2... 3...
"Your winner... JUSHIN "THUNDER" LIGER!"

As we come back from the commercial break, we are confronted with the commentary team and Tony Schiavone looks shaken…
“During the break we received pictures of goings on backstage. There were medics everywhere and it didn’t look good for whoever it was that was being attended to. We can confirm that the superstar in question was Goldberg and I can also confirm that he has been taken to the nearest hospital here in Fort Lauderdale.”
As Schiavone is talking, we are shown footage of an unconscious and bloody Goldberg being wheeled to an ambulance on a stretcher.
(with a smile)“I guess Goldberg won’t be the tag team partner of Sting later on!”
(sarcastically) “I guess not! How can you be so heartless, Brain?!”
We cut to the ring…
“Ladies and Gentlemen this next match is scheduled for one fall and is a number one contender’s match for the WCW United States Title, introducing first from Austin, Texas weighing in at 265 pounds, he is ‘The Natural’… Dustin Rhodes!
His opponent from Sweetwater, Texas weighing in at 275 pounds… Barry Windham!”
#1 Contender Match for the WCW United States Title - “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes v Barry Windham
FINISH
Rhodes attempts to hit Windham with the running bulldog but Windham manages to over power him and throws Rhodes forward and as he turns Windham hits the ropes hitting him with the flying lariat! 1… 2… 3… Windham wins!
The two athletes shake hands at the end and with a nod of respect Rhodes leaves the ring, allowing Windham to celebrate his win.
Through a video package we are reminded of what happened to Goldberg earlier onand after that short video has played we return to the arena...
Raven who has came out with a microphone and is complaining about being forced into defending his title tonight against Vader…
“maybe someone should tell him what the stipulations is with regards to the title he is wearing!”
Raven v Big Van Vader
FINISH
In what is fundamentally an exhibition of Vader’s complete dominant offence! The end to the match comes when Raven is DQ’d through no fault of his own! During the match, Sid Vicious walks down the aisle and as Vader sets Raven up for the Vader Bomb, he enters the ring with a chair and hits Vader square in the back, the referee has no choice but end the contest, awarding the victory by DQ to Big Van Vader.
After Vader has chased Sid up the ramp and through to the back, Chris Jericho’s music hits, microphone in hand and appears to want to confront Raven who is still lying in the ring after the brutal beating from Vader!
Chris Jericho - “This is my show, Raven. NITRO IS JERICHO!!! Therefore, it makes sense for me to be wearing that Television Title round my waist. Seems that Bischoff thinks too, since we will be facing off at The Great American Bash and if… wait, scratch that… WHEN I win, I get a rematch on next week’s Nitro!”
Raven looks unimpressed and clutches his stomach in pain, as Jericho smiles at him from the top of the ramp...

When we return we get a Promo package for The Great American Bash...
Quote :
Be sure not to miss the Pay Per View event of the summer where you will see Sting defend the WCW World Title against “The Total Package” Lex Luger and Barry Windham will take on Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat for the United States Title. Be sure to contact your local cable provider as you will not want to miss this!
“This next match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, he weighs in at 287 pounds… CACTUS JACK! His opponent from Cincinnati, Ohio, he weighs in at 226 pounds “Flyin” Brian!
“I don’t like Pillman’s chances in this match, Schiavone! What do you think Weasel face?!”
“I’m NOT a weasel! Anyway, I hate to say this, but I have to agree with you Ventura! Cactus Jack is insane!”
Cactus Jack v “Flyin” Brian Pillman
FINISH
Cactus Jack throws Pillman through the ropes and quickly follows him. After hitting him with numerous punches, Cactus then lifts up the protective mat outside the ring and places Pillman on the concrete as he climbs up onto the ring apron… he launches himself off in an attempt to hit an elbow drop on Pillman. Fortunately for Pillman, he moves at the last second, resulting in Cactus smashing his elbow in to the concrete. Just as Pillman gets to his feet the referee is already at a count of 7… 8… 9… 10… Pillman wins by count out!
Having no time at all to celebrate his win and is no further from getting to his feet but Maxx Payne slips into the ring and he and Cactus beat Pillman down before Payne locks on the Payne Killer (hint - a chicken wing for those that don’t know who he is!)
We cut to the backstage area and Big Van Vader looks furious…
Vader – "BISCHOFF!"
He walks up to and grabs Eddie Guerrero by the T-shirt...
"WHERE’S BISCHOFF?!"
Eddie Guerrero – He’s in his office, man! Round the corner, there…
Vader storms off round the corner and finds Eric Bischoff’s office. Without knocking, he blasts through the door! Bischoff is understandably shaken…
Bischoff – “What the…”
(grabbing Bischoff by the throat) – Vicious, I want Vicious. Just me and him, NO DQ!
OK, OK! You can have him this Sunday, at The Great American Bash!
Vader smiles, lets go of Bischoff and walks away!

We come back to the main arena.
“This is your Monday Nitro main event and is a tag team contest scheduled for one fall. Introducing first at a combined weight of 530 pounds, “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson and “The Total Package” Lex Luger.”
Luger and Anderson are sharing a joke and look extremely pleased that they won’t have to face Goldberg as Sting’s mystery partner!
“And their opponents! First, from Venice Beach California, weighing in at 255 pounds he is the WCW World Champion, THIS IS STING!”
Sting walks to the ring and is facing up his opponents.
The crowd wait expectantly on who the mystery partner is!!
Sting whispers into the announcers ear…
“…and his tag team partner…” a little pause to keep the suspense going…
“…from the island of Hawaii, he is the WCW United States Champion! Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat”!
‘The Enforcer’ Arn Anderson & ‘The Total Package’ Lex Luger v Sting & Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat!
Steamboat and Sting look up for this as they high five each other and point over mockingly at Anderson and Luger, who look a lot less cocky now!
The match starts with Anderson and Sting, who by the looks of it would much prefer having a pop at Luger but the match continues...
After a back and forth start, Anderson and Luger gain the advantage after Sting misjudged a Stinger Splash on Luger - they work his ribs, taking it in turn to apply a painful stretch hold...
Sting finally makes the hot tag and Steamboat clears house, the crowd go wild...
FINISH
After a period of domination, Sting's attentions are on Luger who is on the other side of the ring. Luger eventually steps down from the ring apron and then walks round to confront Sting, who in turn does the same - they go at it.
This alerts the referee to go over and try to calm it all down and Steamboat walks over to the ropes to see if Sting is going to be OK...
As he does this Anderson reaches into his trunks and takes out a pair of brass knuckles and as Steamboat turns round he is clocked real hard with the brass knuckles. The referee now turns round with Anderson pinning Steamboat...
1... 2... 3... "Your winners... Arn Anderson and Lex Luger!"
Anderson and Luger rush up the ramp celebrating while Sting looks perplexed as to what happened!
“This is ridiculous and look at them, they look proud of themselves too!”
“They will be proud of themselves if Luger’s hand is raised at the Bash, Schiavone. It's all about having that belt round your waist!”
“We will see, Jesse, unfortunately that’s all we have time for this week… see you on Sunday at The Great American Bash folks!”

Schiavone - “Welcome everyone to THE pay per view event of the summer, The Great American Bash! I’m joined by my broadcast partners Jesse “The Body” Ventura and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. We have some great match ups tonight with the WCW World Title match between Sting and Lex Luger being the stand out, what other matches stand out for you?”
Jesse – “Vader is real hot at Sid so I’m looking forward to that one, not to forget that it is no DQ!”
Brain – “That has potential to overspill and I hope we don’t end up being a part of it physically!”
"It’s OK Weasel, I’ll protect you!"
(pretending that he never heard that last comment) “not to mention the number one contender match for the tag titles, rumour is the Blondes…”
“…what rumour?”
“If you would let me finish! Rumour is that the Blondes aren’t getting along too well and that Pillman could be heard arguing with Austin after taking a beating 2 weeks on the trot”
“Who said… where did you hear this, Brain?”
“I hear things, Schiavone. It’s my job to find this stuff out and if I’m not mistaken, it is yours and broken Body here’s job too! You maybe want to make an effort every now and again to find stories so you can enlighten the viewers to what’s going on in World Championship Wrestling!”
“Maybe YOU should make an effort to choose your words wisely, Weasel before I come over there and…!”
"...OK, OK, let’s calm down and let’s go to the ring where David Penzer is ready to get this show started!”
Camera focuses on David Penzer, microphone in hand…
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the opening match of The Great American Bash and it is a Triple Threat Ladder Match for the WCW Cruiserweight Title. Introducing the first participant from El Paso, Texas weighing in at 228 pounds… EDDIE GUERRERO.”
“Eddie looks confident, he’s my pick for this match…”
“…do you not even want to see the other competitors before making a decision?”
“I don’t have to see any of the others, Eddie has that fire in his eyes, he’s confident and sometimes that’s all you need”
“I think you need more than just confidence, Brain!”
“EXACTLY! As if all it took was confidence and no talent then you would be World Champion, Weasel!”

Both are fatigued and as they are half way up, Liger climbs to the top turnbuckle and launches himself at the ladder, successfully managing to land higher up the ladder than the other 2 participants and as he gets within touching distance of the belt he grabs the belt and kicks the ladder away while doing it. Liger undoes the belt studs, and drops to the canvas clutching the belt tightly to his chest!
Liger wins the WCW Cruiserweight Title
As Liger is celebrating we cut to backstage where Mean Gene is ready to conduct an interview…
Mean Gene – “I’m joined at this moment by Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne, who will be competing later on this evening in a match with the Hollywood Blondes to determine the number one contenders for the WCW Tag Team Titles…”
Payne – “Let me stop you right there Gene! You use the word ‘compete’ like our match is going to be some sort of competition! Did you even see Nitro last?! Those pretty boys don’t have what it takes…”
Cactus - “That’s right Maxx, we certainly gave little Brian a boo boo on Monday night! Where was Austin when we handed out that beating?!”
Payne – “Probably having his finger nails done at the beauty parlour!”
“Will we be going to face The Steiner Brothers, Gene? Possibly! PILLMAN… AUSTIN… what is guaranteed, is that you will be in the most tortutous match of your lives tonight! BANG, BANG!!”
“Back to you Tony!”

“This next match should be interesting. We have Raven, who doesn’t seem to understand that by being Television Champion he is obligated to defend his title at any given Nitro. On the other hand, we have Jericho who thinks he is…”
“Jericho is a punk, Schiavone, who thinks that Nitro is his show and as such he somehow deserves to be Television Champion. Well, for that to happen he has to beat Raven and I can’t see Raven taking that lying down!”
“You are right Brain…”
“Of course I’m right, I’m always right!”
“Let me speak! Raven is a tough competitor and he feels that he deserves a little respect as champion. Chris Jericho quite clearly hasn’t shown him any respect and I can see that backfiring on him tonight! There is no way that Raven wants to lose tonight and have to face Jericho tomorrow night on Nitro”
“All will be revealed in due course, let’s get down to the ring…”
“This next match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from the Bowery, Raven. His opponent from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Chris Jericho!”
Raven v Chris Jericho
FINISH
As Raven goes for the Even Flow, Jericho manages to hit Raven with a low blow and as he nurses his crotch, Jericho sweeps his legs which puts him on his back, allowing Jericho to lock in the Liontamer! Raven almost gets to the ropes but as he does, Jericho pulls him back into the centre of the ring. There is no escape...
Raven taps!
Jericho gets a match for the title on tomorrow night’s Nitro!
We cut to the backstage...
Gene - I'm joined by Brian Pillman and Stunning Steve Austin, the Hollywood Blondes. You guys have been causing a bit of a stir recently and Brian, you took a heck of a beating last week on Nitro, are you in any shape to wrestle tonight?"
Pillman - "I took a hammering last week Gene but that hasn't broken me and you know what?! It just made me more determined to win this match tonight. Cactus and Payne ain't going to know what hit them and when we go on to our title match"
"Where were you when this was happening, Steve?"
Austin - "Well, Gene, I can't be everywhere all the time you know and Brian is a tough guy who can look after himself"
"Aren't partners supposed to look after each other?"
Pillman stares at Austin...
"Of course they do and Brian knows that I will always..."
As Austin is talking we are joined by Arn Anderson and Lex Luger.
Anderson (staring at Pillman) - "Move along little man, it's the big boy's turn to speak!"
Austin (pulling Pillman away)- “Focus on the gold, Brian!”
The Blondes leave the set.
Anderson - “Do you feel it Gene? Something great is going to happen tonight. Do you feel it Lex?”
Luger (with a smirk) - “I feel it Arn!”
Anderson and Luger walk away smiling to each other. Gene shakes his head...
"Back to the ring"

#1 Contender Match for the WCW Tag Team Titles
Hollywood Blondes v Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne
FINISH
In what has been a brutal match, with the referee being knocked out for a large period of this match. Cactus Jack slips up and when he goes to dive out the ring at Pillman who is out on the floor, he misses and lands hard on the exposed concrete. This allows the Blondes to double team Maxx Payne. A weakened Maxx Payne staggers towards Austin who hits him with the 'Stun Gun' and out of nowhere Pillman launches himself at Payne from the top rope, hitting the Flying Body Press. The cover 1, 2, 3...
Hollywood Blondes win and receive a shot at the tag team belts against the Steiner Brothers.
"Well that settles it, The Blondes get their title shot against the Steiners!"
"Great match up and the unity between Austin and Pillman when conducting that finish was a joy to behold!"
"Great indeed, Jesse! This is going to be the most brutal match on the card..."
"That's saying something after what we have just witnessed, Schiavone!"
"Yes, Jess, and I am just getting word that it was decided earlier tonight that this is now a falls count anywhere match!"
"This could get ugly and I don't want to be anywhere near the fall when it happens!"
"I'm sure Jesse will protect you, Brain!"
(looking nervously at Ventura) "Yeah, I'm sure"
Ventura laughs
"This next match is scheduled for one fall and it is a No Disqualification match, where falls will count anywhere in the building... introducing first from the Rocky Mountains, weighing in at 456 pounds... BIG VAN VADER! And his opponent, from Marion, Arkansas. weighing in at 320 pounds, this is Sid Vicious!"
No Disqualification match
Big Van Vader v Sid Vicious
Before Vicious can even get into the ring, Vader meets him half way up the aisle and they go at it! The match continues
FINISH
Sid Vicious power bombs Vader through the commentary table and scores the pin fall. (Heenan has ran away from the table and does a great job of coming across as a total sap about this.)
SID VICIOUS WINS

As we see Vicious walking away from a broken Vader we cut to the locker room where we see the Mene Gene is with Barry Windham
Well, Barry, you have a huge opportunity tonight in your match with Ricky Steamboat for the United States Title.
It is an extreme privilege to be in the ring with such a great athlete like Ricky ‘the Dragon’ Steamboat, Gene. Then you couple that with the fact that it is for the prestigious United States Title… These opportunities don’t come along all that often so when they do you need to grab them with both hands and that is exactly what I intend to do, Gene!
I wish you all the luck in the World, Barry! Barry Windham aiming to
“This next match is for the WCW United States Title. Introducing first. The challenger from Sweetwater, Texas. He weighs in at 275 pounds… Barry Windham! His opponent from Honolulu, Hawaii, he weighs in at 235 pounds. He is the WCW United States Champion… RICKY ‘THE DRAGON’ STEAMBOAT”

Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat v Barry Windham
FINISH
In what has been a back and forth match with both competitors getting near falls, Windham goes for a flying lariat off the ropes but Steamboat manages to duck out the way and as quick as a flash is jumping up on to the top turnbuckle. As Windham is getting himself back to his feet, he is hit with Steamboat’s Flying body press.

As we get to the finish there are 4 men still left in the ring…
Diamond Dallas Page, Randy Savage, Bam Bam Bigelow and Abdullah the Butcher.
DDP, Savage and Bigelow look at each other, nod and go after Abdullah, eventually eliminating him.
As Bigelow is busy shouting at Abdullah, DDP pushes him out over the top and he turns to fight Savage.
Savage and DDP go at it hard and eventually Savage finds himself on the ropes! DDp then rushes him and hits a Savage with a clothesline, knocking him up and over the rope but Savage grabs onto DDP throught sheer instinct and they both crash to the ground at the same time!!
Both Savage and DDP celebrate as if they have won and the referees just shake their heads and aren't sure who's hand to raise!
“What the…”
“Who won that? Who got the contract?”
“Has to be Page, he clearly hit the ground first!”
“I don’t know about that, Brain, looked pretty much even to me and if it did have to fall to someone then it was possibly Savage who hit the ground first…”
“I’m just glad that I’m not the man in charge who has to make a decision on who gets the lucrative contract!”
“Indeed! Let’s go to Mean Gene, who is with Sting”

"I’m with Sting and may I say you are looking in good shape tonight Stinger!"
Sting (cupping his hands to his mouth) - “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I’m in great shape Gene and all the little Stingers that are out there in that arena and at home watching on TV, every single one of them believing in me is all I need to succeed tonight. I will walk away from this match tonight, still... World Championship Wrestling's World Champion!”
"Are you worried about the 'something special' that Luger and Anderson were talking about earlier?"
Someone shouts from the back "It's time, Sting!"
"Got to go Gene!"
(kind of frustrated that he didn't get his question answered) "Back to you Tony..."
"Thanks, Gene. So prediction time! Got to be quick... Brain?"
"Luger!"
"Jesse?"
"Sting!"
"OK, mixed ideas. I am shocked! Lets get to the ring for our main event!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the Main Event of the evening! This next match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WCW World Title! Introducing first, the challenger, accompanied to the ring by 'The Enforcer' Arn Anderson, he weighs in at 270 pounds... Lex Luger! His opponent is from Venice Beach, California. Weighing in at 255 pounds, he is the WCW WORLD CHAMPION... THIS... IS... STIIIIIIIING!"
WCW World Title
Sting v ‘The Total Package’ Lex Luger w/Arn Anderson
FINISH
In another back an forth match up. Luger is becoming frustrated with every 2 count he manages to get. The referee then becomes sick of Arn Anderson’s constant claims of a slow count and attempts at interference so he sends him back to the locker room. This is just the distraction that Sting needed and he manages to lock in the Scorpion Deathlock… no escape for Luger and with Anderson gone he has no option but to tap out.
STING RETAINS THE WCW WORLD TITLE!
Sting keeps the Scorpion Deathlock applied and the referee tries to get him to release the hold but he doesn't. Then out of nowhere...
Ric Flair jumps into the ring and hits Sting from behind with a chair. Arn Anderson has ran back to the ring and is stomping on Sting and allows Flair to lock in the Figure Four Leg Lock.
"What the heck is going on?"
"Ric Flair is back. The MAN is back!"
"Why is he back? Is this the something special that Anderson was talking about earlier?!"
Flair releases the hold and he and Anderson help Luger to his feet. Then the three men lift their arms up and smile! The boos from the Miami crowd are deafening...
"This is not over people, make sure to tune in to Nitro tomorrow night to see what happens next!!"
