    Mike Tenay: Hello and welcome everybody to TNA iMPACT! Mike Tenay with Don West, live from the iMPACT! zone! Don, we've got a huge announcement coming up tonight and it's got to do with the NWA Heavyweight Championship!

    Don West: Yes and Larry Zybysko is backstage right now to make that decision. Let's go to Jeremy Borash.

    ===========

    You want to fight?

    Jeremy Borash: Jeremy Borash outside Larry Zybysko's office. I'm here trying to find out who will Larry Zybysko name the number one contender for AJ Styles' NWA Heavyweight Championship.

    The door Borash is standing at opens and Zybysko pops his head out

    Larry Zybysko: Yes?

    Jeremy Borash: Well I was wondering if you have an update on the number one contender situation.

    Larry Zybysko: Oh yeah, that. Yeah, I've made my decision. Last week when Brown attacked Styles and Abyss, I could see he wanted to fight. That's exactly what I'm going to give him. Monty Brown is going to face Abyss, in a number one contender's match, TONIGHT!

    Don West: Mike, did you hear that?! A number one contender's match, right here on iMPACT!

    Mike Tenay: Yes Don, and I can't wait for that. But now, let's continue the amazing Super X Cup Tournament that began last week. Here's what the bracket looks like now.

    ============

    Petey Williams

    ===========

    Mike Tenay: And moving right along in that tournament, we've got Michael Shane, who will square off against the young, and talented, Chris Sabin.

    ===========

    Super X Cup: First Round

    -Michael Shane vs. Chris Sabin-

    Shane and Sabin both started the match off on even grounds but the fan favourite, Chris Sabin, took control after he ducked under a flying lariat and sent Shane into the corner with well placed dropkick before hitting Shane with a Tiger suplex before keeping Shane down on the mat. Sabin went for an early Cradle Shock but Shane slipped out of it and hit a belly-to-belly suplex into the turn buckles. After the two crawled too their feet they fought it out on even grounds again as the fans started a duelling chant with Sabin fans dwarfing the Shane fans. Sabin began putting his fists to Shane and sent him against the ropes but as he rebounded Shane stopped before he reached Sabin and as Sabin pounced forwards, Shane hit Sabin with a super kick right to the chin! The fans gasped as Sabin fell too the mat and Shane began showing off as he pointed to his head repeatedly while he looked at the fans. The crowd suddenly began cheering as Sabin got to his feet but Shane misunderstood the cheers as a reaction to his super kick and when he turned round it was too late because Sabin was waiting for him and he hit a Cradle Shock for the 3 count. Sabin left the ring and celebrated with the first row off fans while Shane held his head before starting at the man who had just beat him to advance to the second round

    Winner: Chris Sabin

    Mike Tenay: Shane just screwed himself out of the win there. Sabin moves on!

    Don West: Sabin took advantage of Shane right there and he's going to the second round.

    Mike Tenay: Still to come remember folks, the main event, 'The Monster' Abyss will go one on one with 'The Alpha Male' Monty Brown, to decide the number one contender, to AJ Styles' NWA Heavyweight Championship!

    Don West: I'm just as excited as you Mike believe me! I...

    Mike Tenay: Hold that though Don, we've got someone arriving here.

    ===========

    Surrender!

    Backstage, Raven is arriving at the building with his gymbag and gets nailed in the back of the head by Jaarrett's guitar! Jarrett gets on top of him and starts laying the right hands to him. Raven is knocked out cold and Jarrett finally gets off of him.

    Jeff Jarrett: You wanted to know what a No Surrender match was Raven? It's when I beat the living hell out of you, until you Surrender!

    Jarrett goes back to beating on him until he busts him open. Raven's forehead is bleeding profusely now ad Jarrett continues to beat on his forehead. Jarrett finally stops and lift his head up. He gets really close so they're face to face.

    Jeff Jarrett: Surrender Raven!

    Raven shakes is head, no

    Jeff Jarrett: Surrender!

    Jarrett beats him with a few more punches and then picks him up. He throws him into the wall and then stomps away at him.

    Jeff Jarrett: Surrender yet?!

    Raven spits blood in his face. Jarrett wipes it off and stomps away at him more. He finally grabs him and hits the Stroke on the concrete floor, and walks away, leaving Raven unconcious.

    ===========

    Samoa Joe vs. Shark Boy-

    As Soon as Shark Boy entered the ring, Samoa Joe ran at him like a machine before nearly flipping him right over with a huge lariat. Joe grabbed Shark Boy’s legs and pulled them back into the Samoan Crab. The Samoan Crab lasted enough time to do damage to Shark Boy’s legs when Joe let go and put a stiff boot to the back of Shark Boy which made him cry out in pain but Joe wasn’t going to let his back or legs get off that easily as he threw him into the turnbuckle. He lifted him up and set him up for the Muscle Buster, and gets it. He goes over to Shark Boy, and plants a few stomps on him, then finally locks in the Coquina Clutch which made Shark Boy tap out almost as soon as the move was put on. Joe kept the move going after the bell until referees and security pulled Joe back. Joe didn’t celebrate and he just marched to the back as Medics checked on Shark Boy in the ring.

    Winner: Samoa Joe

    Mike Tenay: Again this beast has destroyed another TNA star!

    Don West: That Rear Naked Choke is just scary Mike! Anybody who would step into the ring with that man is as brave as you can get.

    Mike Tenay: Or as stupid Don. Let's take a look at what he calls the Muscle Buster one more time.

    Replay of Muscle Buster airs

    Mike Tenay: That is just devastating! That's the kind of move that ends careers folks.

    Don West: I would definatly not step into that ring with him.

    Mike Tenay: After that dominating performance, let's go back to Shane Douglas.

    ===========

    Shane Douglas is backstage with Ron Killings and Konnan

    Shane Douglas: Shane Douglas here with what's left of the 3 Live Kru, Ron Killings and Konnan.

    Konnan: Quiet down! Listen 'ere BG James. Me and Killin's, we trusted you dog. And you betrayed us. But that's okay BG. 'Cause at No Surrender, we get ya in the ring. And that's fine, we got no problem with that. 'Cause we never needed ya anyway BG.

    BG and former Outlaw get in their face

    Bg James: Never need BG jizzle James huh? Fine, I've found a partner who can carry his weight. Meet Billy James, and The James Gang!

    Billy James: Like my new name don't you BG? I think BG and BJ can go far.

    Ron Killings: Shut up! We're not here to talk 'bout names. We all've known each otha' for a long time! We don't need to meet-and-greet! At No Surrender, you and BJ, are done!

    Killings and Konnan walk away and The James Gang stare them away

    Mike Tenay: There's so much tension you can feel it all the way from here Don.

    Don West: The once happy family of the 3 Live Kru has turned into this..this..monstroucity!

    Mike Tenay: It was bound to happen Don. Now though, we've got the final first round match between that mystery opponent and Team Canada's Petey Williams!

    ===========

    Super X Cup: First Round

    -Petey Williams vs. ???-

    Williams came to the ring with the rest of Team Canada. The Mystery Opponent was Leonardo Kendrick (known to RoH fans as ‘Spanky‘.) Kendrick didn’t come out to much of a reaction but as he started, the fans took a liking to him as he used technical moves to shock the team Canada captain by staying on the offensive and showing a good knowledge of the ring. Kendrick called for his finisher, the Shiranui, but he noticed Eric Young enter the ring so he dropped Williams and ran at Showtime, sending him over the ropes with a clothesline which sent them both to the outside and waiting on the outside was Bobby Roode who took Kendrick out with a huge Northern Lariat. Roode sent Kendrick into the ring where Petey Williams waited and as Kendrick got to his feet he was hit with the Canadian Destroyer. Williams didn’t go for the pin however as he locked in the sharpshooter. Kendrick fought the pain but eventually he couldn’t take no more and he tapped. Team Canada entered the ring and Scott D’Amore held a Hockey Stick which sported the Canadian Flag, Roode and A1 lifted Kendrick too his knees as the Team Canada coach, Scott D’Amore, broke the hockey stick in two over the head of Leonardo Spanky. Williams goes through to the next round as Leonardo Kendrick was screwed.

    Winner: Petey Williams

    Mike Tenay: Team Canada sticks their nose where it doesn't belong again!

    Don West: This team, is a straight nuisance! They cannot win fairly!

    Mike Tenay: Well Don, the time has arrived. The number one contender's match is finally here! Your iMPACT! main event! Abyss takes on Monty Brown!

    ===========

    Number One Contender's Match

    -'The Alpha Male' Monty Brown vs. 'The Monster' Abyss-

    Abyss comes out with James Mitchelland climbs in the ring. Monty Brown comes out next and wastes no time. He runs down the ramp and jumps into the ring. He pops up and throws a right at Ayss but it gets blocked into his own right. Brown staggers back and gets another right. Brown falls into the corner but charges out and misses the Pounce. He comes back into a big boot from Abyss. Abyss hits a big elbow on him and covers for 2. Abyss picks him up and whips him into the ropes, but Brown reverses it. Abyss comes back into a clothesline, that staggers Abyss. Brown hits him again and finally knocks him down. Brown covers but only gets 2. He picks him up and hits a scoop slam. Brown controls the action for the next 5 minutes.

    Brown comes off the ropes and misses the Pounce for the second time. Abyss whirls around and nails him with a clothesline. Abyss picks him up and puts him on his shoulders for the Shock Treatment, but Brown wriggles free and hits him with a clothesline that sends Abyss outside. Brown comes from behind him and throws him into the steps. He picks him up and whips him into the ring post. Brown rolls him back in the ring and covers for just a two count. Brown looks frustrated and gets Abyss to his feet. Brown hits a low kick and then a high knee off the ropes. Monty goes to pick him up again but Abyss fights his way back to his feet. Abyss sends him into the ropes and gets him up into the Shock Treatment! Abyss goesto cover, but AJ Styles shows up in front of him on the stage. Abyss gets up and goes to the ropes for a stare down with Styles. Mitchell is screaming at Abyss to turn around and he does, right into the Pounce from Monty Brown! Brown covers, 1...2...3!

    Winner: Monty Brown

    Mike Tenay: Styles just inadvertantly cost Abyss the match!

    Don West: Well it's survival of the fittest Mike and Monty Brown took advantage of Abyss' mistake, and he will go on to No Surrender, to face that man, AJ Styles!

    Brown throws his arms up in victory and then turns his attention to Styles who's at the stage nodding his head. Brown signals gold will be around his waist and we go off the air.

    ===========

    OOC: KGHBSHA got over-worked, and had to leave the project. Stepping in for him is JKDaRock.

  2. That was great, I loved the whole Kennedy angle. It may not have been as funny as your other shows but it was still good. You have Vince down really well which makes him funny saying GO DAMNIT! every five minutes. Keep it up, I wanna see more Spirit Squad bukkake!

    iMPACT! Preview!

    Last week, Raven attacked an irate Jarrett after being ousted from the King Of The Mountain match at Slammiversary. Jeff demanded a match, and Larry Zybysko even let Jarrett choose the stipuulation. A No Surrender match. A what? This week, after Jarrett was attacked in the dark by Raven, will Jarrett reveal what the No Surrender match entails?

    BG James and The Outlaw...or whatever his newname is. Have declared war upon the remaining members of the 3 Live Kru. After laying down the challenge to Konnan and Ron Killings, BG and Outlaw look ready to go. The question is, are Konnan and Killings ready?

    The Super X Cup Tournament kicked off last week on iMPACT! and saw Alex Shelley and Sean Waltman advance to the second round. The tournament continues this week when Michael Shane and Chris Sabin square off in the first round. And also, rounding out the first round Petey Williams takes on an unknown challenger. Who will advance and who is the mystery opponent?

    After Monty Brown surprised Abyss and AJ Styles, Larry Zybysko has had enough. He announced that after Monty Brown hit the Pounce on Abyss, and took Styles out, that this week on iMPACT!, he would be making a decision on the world title picture. What is in the works for these two contenders and champion?

    All this and more for free, downloadable on WeBCaSt! On TNAwrestling.com!!!

  4. More or less a summary of the entire show which really doesn't appeal to me. The usual format is written out promos and summarized matches, but it's good to see something foat from the norm.

    The break up of the Spirit Squad was a good idea, although Kenny is obviously the money, so I hope you take him in a good direction.

    Orton having a face turn is a bad idea if that's where you're going. He's a terrible face IRL, so if that is the way you're going, please book him better than the WWE did.

    The Charlie Haas, and Team Shelton is kind of boring. I was hoping to see a Shelton push towards something better, but stuck in this angle just seems...bleh.

    Again I would like to see written out promos. It really would add a lot more to the show. This just seems more like a fan's summary, unless that's what you're going for.

    RAW was too big. The huge main event, the IC title defense and change, Tag title defense and change, the Orton vs. Edge mixed tag. Too much just for RAW, and to justify all of this in two hours just seems a little unreal.

  5. This is the funniest diary I've ever read. Mostly because I have a sick mind, but I digress. This is great, and I'm thoroughly enjoying everything about it. When Flair talked about the Rimjob was hilarious. The Spirit Squad gimmick is great too. Love it.

    Caught Red Handed

    Jeff Jarrett is in the ring as iMPACT! opens

    Jeff Jarrett: No, stop it. The camera doesn't need to see the crowd. Get the camera on me! At Slammiversary, somebody thought it would be alright, to attack me, and put me out of the King Of The Mountain match. Well guess what, after lookin' and investigatin', we found this little tape. Let's play it on the new big screen here.

    A clip of Jarrett lacing his boots for his match at Slammiversary is shown. A man comes into view and hits him with a chair. The guy picks up a kendo stick and beats Jarrett in the back. He then grabbed a trash can and cracked it over his head, leaving him in a bloody mess. When we thought he left, he comes back and hits Jarrett with a chair one more time. He turns around and faces the camera. IT'S RAVEN! He turns and walks away.

    Jeff Jarrett: I knew that it had to have somethin' to do with you Raven. I knew that you had to make sure you had a shot at gettin' in that match. You're pathetic Raven! You're an embarrassment to...

    The lights go out and Raven's music starts to play

    Jeff Jarrett: What? You...you think I'm scared now? W..well...you..you're wrong!

    Jarrett lights a lighter in the ring and a small glow forms around him. Jarrett looks around in front of him and turns around. The lighter is right in Raven's face and he's staring at Jarrett!

    Raven grabs Jarrett by the throat tosses him in the corner as the lights go back on. He stomps away at him and then goes off the ropes from the opposite side, hitting him with a big boot. Raven grabs Jarrett and drags him to the middle of the ring. He picks him up and signals the Evenflow DDT, but Jarrett escapes somehow and bails out of the ring, putting a hand to his lip to check if he's still got all his teeth. He goes back to the back and Raven's music begins to play again as he exits through the crowd.

    ===========

    Mike Tenay: Well what a start to TNA iMPACT! Mike Tenay, live with my partner Don West, we're at another packed TNA house here in the iMPACT! zone at Orlando Studios. Just a few days ago Don, we saw one of the most historical matches in our short history, the King Of The Mountain match.

    Don West: And it truly was, a historical moment. AJ Styles overcame the odds of four other men in one of the most brutal matches I've ever seen! Look at this!

    Clip of the King Of The Mountain match highlights show

    Mike Tenay: AJ Styles an absolute warrior in that ring. Folks, if you didn't see Slammiversary last Sunday, you missed another amazing TNA pay-per-view. But you're in luck as it is still available for replay. Order it now, you will not be sorry.

    Don West: It was amazing as are all of TNA's pay-per-views. Also there we saw Christopher Daniels retain his X-Division championship.

    Mike Tenay: That's right Don, and he also had to overcome some odds of 2 other men, Michael Shane, and Chris Sabin. Tonight, we kick-off the Super X Cup tournament! 8 men, only one number one contender.

    Alex Shelley

    vs.

    Michael Shane

    vs.

    Chris Sabin

    ???

    vs.

    Petey Williams

    ============

    Mike Tenay: Well, it looks like we’ve got some company coming out here for our next match…

    Christopher Daniels makes his way to the announcer’s table, proudly cradling his X-Division Title belt over his shoulder. He swaggers over to a pre-prepared seat, next to Mike Tenay, and he takes a spare set of headphones.

    Mike Tenay: Hello, Christopher Daniels, X-Division Champion…what brings you out here?

    Christopher Daniels: Well, I decided to come out here and scout my so-called opposition tonight, Mike Tenay, because you well know that the winner of this prestigious tournament, as well as picking up a nice, shiny trophy, also gets the privilege of getting to step into the ring with the Fallen Angel for my X-Division Championship.

    Don West: Sounds good to me champ. What do ya think of the two competitors in tonight’s first round matchup, Shark Boy and Sean Waltman?

    Christopher Daniels: Hell, Sean Waltman’s a washed up, has been who should cut his hair and buy a watch, coz the amount of bookings he misses is unbelievable. And Shark Boy, he’s one demented child, who should really be locked away in whatever loony bin Abyss escaped from instead of having any chance of winning my title. Who would want to act like a shark anyway?

    ===========

    Super X Cup: First Round

    -Sean Waltman vs. Shark Boy-

    Waltman dominates the early proceedings with some expertly thrown martial arts kicks. Waltman whips Sharky into the corner, and continues his assault with vicious roundhouse kick, ending with a jumping kick to Shark Boy’s face. Waltman continues in this vein for the duration of the contest, always keeping control of his opponent with a mixture of snap moves, stiff kicks and general disregard for the rules. However, some time into the match, Shark Boy manages a comeback, knocking Waltman out of his stride with multiple knee lifts, and then a spinning back elbow. Shark Boy continues his attack, ducking a Waltman spin kick and knocking him down with a dropkick. Shark Boy plays to the crowd, feeding on their energy, and he goes for the shark bite, but Waltman surprises him by quickly rolling behind Shark Boy and rolling him up, using the ropes as leverage (unseen by the referee) to pick up the victory and to advance into the next stage of the Super X Cup.

    Winner: Sean Waltman

    Mike Tenay: Waltman picks up the win and advances on! Thanks for joing us Mr. Daniels. Now later tonight, we'll find out who his opponent is, either Alex Shelley, or Elix Skipper! But that was a great kickoff to the Super X Cup Tournament!

    Don West: Yes, it was, apparently we've got something going on backstage, let's go back to see what's goin' on.

    ===========

    No Surrender Match

    Jeff Jarrett: Zybysko, I want Raven at No Surrender!

    Larry Zybysko: You can have him, but I won't have you two running around here beating the hell out of each other and turning off lights all over the place!

    Jeff Jarrett: I want him in a No Surrender match!

    Larry Zybysko: Whatever that is, you got it Jarrett.

    Jeff Jarrett: Good. Oh and Zybysko, I want a title shot when I win!

    Jarrett walks away and Zybysko looks troubled

    Mike Tenay What's a No Surrender match???

    Don West: No clue Mike, but the way Jarrett said it, it must be brutal.

    ===========

    -Samoa Joe vs. Zach Gowan-

    Joe dominates his opponent from bell to bell, knocking him senseless right from the get-go with vicious chops, which sends Gowan scampering into the corner, desperately looking for solitude. However, this plays right into Joe’s hands, as he hits Gowan with a running forearm smash, a set up round kick and then a running yakuza kick that nearly takes Gowan’s head off. Joe isn’t finished there, as he throws Gowan out of the corner with a belly-to-belly suplex, before following up with an STO, and then following that with a stiff lariat. Joe, probably realising that he’s had the match won for a long time, picks a motionless Gowan up and hits him with the Island Driver, and he follows that with the modified reverse choke hold, and the referee stops the match as Gowan is knocked out.

    Winner: Samoa Joe

    Mike Tenay: Well the dominance continues for Samoa Joe, finishing with that rear naked choke, known as the Coquina Clutch.

    Don West: Mike when I look at this guy, I see an absolute monster! Not only is he a big powerful beast, but he can move like some of our X-Division stars!

    Mike Tenay: Speaking of that X-Division, the next match for the Super X Cup Tournament is your iMPACT! main event, coming up in just a few minutes. Right now we go backstage to Shane Douglas.

    ===========

    The Last Straw

    Shane Douglas: 'The Franchise' Shane Douglas backstage with BG James and The Outlaw. Now BG, at Slammiversary, you seemed to have fnally had it with 3 Live Kru, is this the end of the 3LK?

    BG James: I think so Shane. At Slammiversary, Ron Killings and Konnan were way out of line attacking Outlaw. I finally had it with them! Always interfering, always starting fights. I'm done. Killings, you wanted me choose a side, well I picked one! And it's not yours!

    The Outlaw: Oh hey, BG. I found out, over the internet, that I'm actually a part of your family. So I've decided to change my name.

    BG James: Oh that's great. What to?

    The Outlaw: Uh...uh...I didn't really choose one. Heh heh...oops.

    BG James: Ok, anyway. Killings and Konnan, the 3 Live Kru is done. And because you felt like interfering so much at Slammiversary, we challenge you to a match at No Surrender. That's right, BG James and The Outlaw, against Konnan and Ron Killings, at No Surrender!

    Mike Tenay: Don! The 3 Live Kru is done?

    Don West: That's what BG says, and he's often at times said to be the leader so I guess that's the way it's going.

    Mike Tenay: Well everyone it's time for your iMPACT! main event. Alex Shelley and Elix Skipper are about to square off!

    ===========

    Super X Cup: First Round

    -Alex Shelley vs. Elix Skipper-

    Skipper and Shelley trade roundhouse kicks to start the match, until Skipper takes control, and he dominates his opponent with a trifecta of snap suplexes. Skipper then jumps to the top turnbuckle, but his attempt twisting leg drop misses, as Shelley moves out of the way. It’s now Shelley’s turn to dominate, and he hits Skipper with a backdrop suplex and follows that up with a Yakuza kick. Both men trade signature moves through the middle portion of the match, shifting momentum between them continuously and seamlessly, gaining some response from the Orlando audience. Towards the end of the contest, Skipper reverses a Shelley Piledriver attempt into a hurricanrana, and he covers for a two count. Skipper then starts busting out more signature offence, avoiding Shelley’s offence attempt with the Matrix Evasion, before going up top and doing the Ropewalk. However, Shelley hits a smooth springboard swinging DDT, sending Skipper crashing to the mat. Shelley follows up with the Shellshock. Shelley then pins Skipper, handing him the victory and advancing him to the semi finals of the Super X Cup.

    Winner: Alex Shelley

    Mike Tenay: Shelley picks up a win. After a very impressive showing at Slammiversary, but coming up a little short, Shelley wins here.

    Don West: Yes and he showed a lot of style in this one. He advances on in the Super X Cup Tournament!

    Mike Tenay: We'll see you all next....oh wait hold on a second. Again there's something going on backstage.

    ===========

    Number One Contender

    James Mitchell and Abyss are backstage in the hallway

    James Mitchel: Look at Abyss. 6 foot 8, 350 pounds of raw power! He deserves, an NWA Heavyweight Championship match.

    AJ Styles: Look James. I was just in a brutal match a few days ago. I don't have time for this. I don't make the decisions anyway. That's Larry Zybysko and the champiopnship committee's job.

    Larry Zybysko: Excuse me, someone say my name?

    AJ Styles: Oh hey, Larry. I was just telling James that I don't say who gets a shot at my belt or not.

    Larry Zybysko: That's right that's my job. And next week, I'm going to decide on that.

    Out of nowhere Monty Brown hits the Pounce on Abyss, and the throws Styles into the wall, laying them both out. Mitchell hugs the wall scared at a hard breathing Monty Brown and Zybysko walks away shaking his head

    May 31st, 2005

    My partner and I worked at Panda Energy for 15 years, eventually working our way up to high executive positions. My partner and I have been friends since we were children. He was married, beautiful wife, beautiful kids, great life. Me, on the other hand, am a drunk sleuth type. Drinking away my sorrows, chasing women, paying lots of hookers. Needless to say, when one day our boss explained to the company they embarked on a new business venture, Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling, we didn't much care. That is, until, some time later, we met our boss' daughter, Dixie Carter.

    Now, we always had an aptitude for wrestling and were very educated in the field, but we never expected to be put in any kind of position. Apparently, Dixie had small voice recorders and came across my partner and I's conversations about our ideas for wrestling and such. At first we were outraged that we had been spied on. Then again, when Dixie approached us about a booking job with TNA, as it was affectionatly known, we were ecstatic, yet scared. To be truthful, we had no clue what were doing from the get go. Taking our job as Co-Head bookers, with Dixie Carter at the helm.

    Now for our first month, we just sat around basically and got familiar with the business and the position. When they thought we were finally ready, it was only a day before what is considered a big ppv, Slammiversary, where TNA feauture's a very big, and very unique style of match. That match is the King Of The Mountain match. Our job, was to book the winners of these matches. This would be our first challenge, and from there on out, we would become the lead writers and also to secure a TV show, so we can get iMPACT! off of webcast a.s.a.p. The card for Slammiversary was like this.

    Tony: And here comes one of them now!

    A strange character walks out in a black trenchcoat, with sunglasses, black pants, and a baseball bat. A punisher esque gimmick it seems.

    Winner: ???

    The mystery man grabs a mic.

    ???: My name, is Mike Diaballico. And I am, the punisher. I'm here, in WCW, to bring a new mindset to the people in the back. There will be pain, there will be, PUNISHMENT!

    Tony Schiavone: Hold on, I'm supposed to welcome people to the show.

    Frank: Oh I'm sorry, go ahead.

    Tony: Okay, welcome everybody....

    Tony is cut off by the music of Lord Steven Regal.

    Lord Steven Regal: Cut the music. First, I want to say one thing to my former manager, Sir William. You're fired! You've done nothing but pull me down, and you let them take the bloody title off me. Next, I would like to address the World Television Championship Tournament. When that sonofabitch Larry Zybysko broke my nose, and put me out of action for a month, that title was taken from me. Now I demand, that I be put in the last first round match. I demand that, right now!

    The music of Nick Bockwinkel hits and he quickly goes to the ring

    Nick Bockwinkel: You want to be put in that tournament? I can see where you're coming from Steven, but I'm sorry the tournament sports are filled.

    Regal: You put me in that match Bockwinkel!

    Bockwinkel: Okay, you know what I'll do for you Regal? I'm gonna give you the chance to get into that match. If you win that match, you'll face Jean Paul Levesque, and Maxx Payne, in a triple threat match. Your opponent, Big Van Vader! And it's next!

    Match One

    -Lord Steven Regal vs. Big Van Vader-

    Regal is already in the ring from his interview, and Vader is coming down now. Vader climbs in and Regal goes right at him with left jabs. Vader drops to one knee and Regal hits him with a double knee strike. Vader staggers but doesn't fall over yet, so Regal hits him with a European Uppercut. Vader falls and Regal covers but only gets a one when Vader throws Regal to the side to kickout. Vader gets up quickly and Regal is up too. Vader takes a few Uppercuts European style from Regal but it doesn't faze him. Vader grabs Regal by the head and throws him into the turnbuckle. Regal tries to run out, but is held by his former manager Sir William. The ref comes over and is trying to get rid of him. Vader runs at Regal and hits a huge splash on him. Regal slumps in the corner and Vader drags him out a little. Vader goes to the middle rope above Regal. But he gets pulled down. It's not by Regal though, it's by Sid Vicious! Vicious picks Vader up and hits the Powerbomb! He throws Regal on top of him and turns the ref around, and he counts the three!

    Winner: Lord Steven Regal

    Gene: Mister Rude, you told various people that there would be a stipulation to this match. Have you come up with something?

    Rude: I came up with it when I told people about it, and I've been preparing for the match ever since I thought of it. It was an early, June morning, the sun had just come up. I was eating toast...

    Gene: Mister Rude, the match?

    Rude: Oh, right. I didn't reveal this until the last possible moment, because I wanted to give you the least time to prepare. Just so I could make you suffer more. The answer to the stipulation? A First Blood Match! That's right Steamboat, tomorrow night, your blood, will fill the Orlando streams....there are streams in Orlando right Gene?

    Gene: Yes I believe somewhere, about 10 miles east of...

    Tony: Thank you Gene, we'll try to get a oceanographer out there or something. No, no, no Frank you have to stay here, we need for other things other than finding streams.

    Frank: Oh sorry, you know I was a oceanography major at Hardvard.

    Tony: You mean Harvard?

    Frank: No Hardvard! How many times do I have to say it!

    Match Two

    -'Stunning' Steve Austin vs. Scott Sandlin-

    Austin comes to the ring for another enhancement talent match. Non-title to make things clear. Sandlin is already there and Austin toys with him for a while. Sandlin mounts a small offense and the crowd gets behind him but Austin quickly shuts him down and hits the Stun Gun. He goes for the cover but the music of Brian Pillman brings him off Sandlin.

    Brian Pillman: Steve! Steve what are you doing!? You've been belittled to this? My god, we used to be at the top of the mountain. WCW Tag Team Champions, The Hollywood Blondes. What happened Steve? You just...decided to end it? It was really...hurtful. I want that friendship back Steve! I want that team to rise to the top again Steve! I want to be 'Stunning' Brian Pillman! Please Steve, let's get the old team back together!

    Austin looks at Pillman weird after the suggestion of his name, but Sandlin rolls him up and holds the tights! He gets the three!

    Winner: Scott Sandlin

    Austin gets up and can't believe what just happened as Sandlin walks down the ramp and hugs Pillman!

    Tony: Why are they hugging, what's going on? I thought Pillman wanted the old days back!?

    Frank: Well as I recall, Pillman and Sandlin used to team all the time...no? Are you sure? Darn...

    Pillman and Sandlin leave with a laugh and Pillman turns back around with the mic.

    Pillman: Steve, meet the NEW Hollywood Blondes! Oh yeah, and tomorrow, I'm taking your belt, at Clash Of The Champions!

    Your move Stinger

    Backstage, Flair and Arn Anderson are reviewing a few profiles of wrestlers.

    Ric Flair: Him?

    Arn Anderson: No, too small.

    Flair: Him?

    Anderson: Too slow.

    Flair: Who then?

    Anderson: Ron Simmons?

    Flair: Sounds good to me.

    Gene: Um, excuse me Ric, did you decide on a partner for Sting yet?

    Flair: Just in time Gene. Arn, go tell Simmons about his match. Well you see Mean Gene! Tonight is the night before the very first Unification Match! And yours truly, wooo, The Natcha Boy, is in it. Now Sting, you've got a big choice to make tonight, choosin' my partner. I'm just 'ere to tell ya Stinger, whoever you pick! Denny Brown, or Vader!

    Flair: The hell's wrong with this company...

    ===========

    Match Three

    -Ron Simmons vs. Sting-

    Simmons didn't seem to be ready and is out in his jeans and t-shirt. Sting, however has been ready all night. Simmons starts by wanting a test of strength with Sting. Sting shrugs and goes for it. Ron starts to win it but Sting comes fighting back. He gets Simmons to his knees and gives him an uncharacteristic headbutt. Sting throws him into the ropes and catches him in a sleeper on the way back. Simmons starts to fade but powers out of it. Sting grabs his legs and it looks like he's going for the Scorpion Deathlock, but Simmons powers out again. Simmons gives a few rights to Sting and gains full control. After a long domination by Simmons he goes for the Dominator, but Sting slips out! He grabs him behind the legs and locks in the Scorpion Deathlock! Simmons doesn't want to, but lays down the tap!

    Winner by submission: Sting

    Tony: He gets him to tap! He survived the man Flair picked!

    Frank: Yeah he got lucky, don't worry Tony, Simmons isn't Ric Flair.

    Your Turn Now

    Sting: Flair...you're not the only one...who can beat...anybody! You wanna.....know who your partner is Flair! He's probably....sitting right next...to you!

    We go backstage to where Flair is watching this on a tv, and Arn Anderson comes into view. Anderson looks at Flair and Flair looks at Anderson and looks very upset! He looks to his other side, hopeful that Sting means someone else, but there isn't anyone!

    Sting: That's right Flair...Arn Anderson!

    Sting sets down the mic, still panting from his match, and walks to the back with a smile.

Booker throws Badd back in the ring and goes for a cover, but gets a short one count. Booker picks him up and hits a suplex. He rolls over top of him and covers for another one. He starts to argue with the ref that it was at least two. Badd gets up and rolls him up, but Booker kicks out after two. Booker works the neck from there on out and Long and Ray get in each others way while cheering on Booker. Booker hits a DDT and waits for Badd to get up. He bounces off the ropes and hits the Axe Kick! He gets the three!

    Winner: Booker T

    Tony: Booker gets the win, maybe tomorrow night he'll get his first singles championship!

    ===========

    The demons inside

    Kevin Sullivan: You know, it came to me in a dream. The demons inside me told me to pick Cactus Jack to be my partner, and lead me to the titles. These demons, try my soul at times. Like last week, the demons wanted me to turn on Jack and give The Nasty Boys the championships, with a promise of, "activity" with Missy Hyatt, after. I told those demons to shut up, and gave Saggs the Piledriver. And it felt so good. The demons that lead me to Jack and that lead me to Missy Hyatt are one in the same. A skitzophrenic demon inhabit me. But, nonetheless, Cactus and I will prevail at Clash Of The Champions, in our triple threat tag match. I for one cannot wait to get back in the ring, and beat these boys down. Because Sullivan and Jack, are comin' at ya!

    Cactus Jack: Bang bang!

    Tony: What the hell was that about...demons? What demons?

    Frank: Well I believe we all know about those sexual demons inside us all.

    Tony: What the hell is wrong with you?

    Frank: Well when I was a baby, my mother smoked...

    Tony: Regal is on his way out, give me your life story later.

    Frank: In paperback or hardcover?

    ===========

    Match Five

    -Lord Steven Regal vs. Jean Paul Levesque vs. Maxx Payne-

    Regal and JPL seem to form an alliance to one another in this final first round match for the World Television Championship! Payne comes in and gets the boots from both JPL and Regal. Regal takes control of Payne while JPL sits in the corner. Regal takes Maxx to the other turnbuckle and stats firing measured shots to the stomach and sternum of Payne. Payne fights back and JPL comes out of nowhere with a flying elbow. Regal goes to cover but JPL pulls him off and goes for the cover. Regal grabs JPL by the neck and throws him to the other side of the ring. JPL gets back up to one knee and looks at Rgal as if asking why. Regal answers with a double knee strike to the face. Maxx comes from behind Regal and hits him with a sledge to the back. Regal drops to his knee and Payne hits a running enziguri! Payne goes for the cover but JPL breaks it up with a leg drop off the top! Payne gets thrown to the outside and JPL focuses his attention on Regal. Levesque picks up Regal and sets him up for The Pedigree, but it's reversed by Regal into what looks like a crossface! JPL is about to tap when Maxx breaks up the pin. Regal gets up and Maxx goes for the Maximum Overdrive, but JPL slams into him, sending him out of the ring. Regal hits JPL with a left jab and then puts him in The Regal Stretch! JPL is reaching for the ropes and Payne is out on the floor! JPL finally stomps the floor and the ref takes it as a tap!

    Winner by submission: Lord Steven Regal

    JPL tries to convince the ref after recovering that it wasn't a tap but the ref says not a chance.

    Tony: Regal's got a chance to gain back his title tomorrow night!

    Frank: Mark my words he'll do it too.

    Commercial Break

    Tony: Thank you for joining back with us, let's get straight to it, your WCW Saturday Night, Main Event!

    Main Event

    -Ric Flair vs. Arn Anderson-

    Flair comes to the ring and awaits Anderson. Anderson comes to the ring and stands toe-to-toe with Flair. Fair smiles but Anderson doesn't flinch at all. Flair is looking like he's waiting for something and suddenly the smile disappears. Flair finally screams at Anderson to lay down like they talked about, but Anderson shakes his head. Flair starts flipping out and finally pokes Anderson in the eye. Anderson recovers and clotheslines Flair. Again, he clotheslines him. A third time and Flair is down. Anderson hits an elbow and covers for two. Flair gets back to his feet and hits Anderson with a few punches to the stomach. Flair begins the chop fest and backs Arn into the corner. Flair chops at Anderson as the crowd counts to ten. Anderson throws Flair off and irish whips him into the opposite turnbuckle. He follows up with a clothesline and begins his own chopping. The crowd counts to ten for Anderson also and the crowd is loving this match. Flair runs away from an eleventh chop and is hanging on the ropes facing the rampway. Sting shows up at the top of the ramp with a chair and takes a seat to scope out his opponent close-up. Anderson hits a knee drop on Flair and Flair is snapped back to the reality of his match. Anderson drags Flair to the middle of the ring and sets him up for his own signature Figure Four! Being the Figure Four specialist though, Flair escapes and puts it on Anderson! Anderson taps out! Anderson taps!

    Winner by submission: Ric Flair

    Tony: How about that Frank, they both end up with submission victories!

    Frank: Yes they did, that's when you tap out, we've seen a lot of those ways to win tonight.

    Flair and Anderson hug in the ring and shake hands. Sting starts walking slowly to the ring and jumps in. Anderson tries to separate them, telling them to save it for tomorrow night, but neither one wants to!

    Tony: Get some help, get some help!

    Anderson wants help from the back too and security rushes out quickly, separating the two finally. They're both screaming about tomorrow night when we go off the air.

    WCW Saturday Night Improves Ratings!
    While Worldwide still failed with a 0.09 rating, Saturday Night came in with a 2.36 rating. Officals and new head booker were said to be very, very happy with the rating. Rumors around the backstage area are that WCW is trying to get a Monday Night spot, exactly where WWF RAW IS WAR, is slated. If that happens, WWF could possible see it's first real challenge from anoth wrestling promotion.

    WCW continues firings!
    After last week's release of Dusty Rhodes, WCW continues to let people go. Harley Race, Tom Zenk, and Larry Zybysko have all been released just this week. Harley Race was said to be upset that he was no longer paired with Vader as his manager, and would not accept any idea creative had for him. Tom Zenk has been talked about being fired for several months as he has been what locker room leaders call, a "annoyance". Most in the locker room are happy he is gone. Larry Zybysko and WCW came to a mutual agreement to end their tenure together. Nothing has been mentioned about the reason.

    WCW Saturday Night Preview!
    Last week, Ric Flair and Sting had their words. This week, Sting and Flair will choose opponants for each other. Flair will choose Sting's opponant, and Sting will choose Flair's opoonant for Saturday. Who will they choose for each other and what will the outcome be?

    With Booker T, PaulRoma, and Ron Simmons already into the second round, what will we see from the World Television Championship Tournament this week?

    Vader laid down the challenge, but with no person in mind. Will someone step-up this week, or hide in the shadows again?

    Teddy Long sabotaged his former client's Tournament match last week. This week, will we see a reason for this? And what sort of revenge does Johnny B. Badd have in store for Long?

    All this and much more on WCW Saturday Night, on TBS at 6 P.M.!

  14. I just read through and I have to say, you really improved your Flair from the first Saturday Night to this one. Nice length to the matches and easy to read and given Paul Roma a win is an A+ in my book. Nice build up to Clash so far. Just one question, during the Vader interview on Saturday Night, where was Harley Race?

Steve follows up with a clothesline but it doesn't seem to affect DDP as he charges back out with his own clothesline. DDP gives Austin an elbow and covers for only two.

    Tony: This match has just gone back and forth with no one gaining any real control!

    DDP throws Austin into the ropes and catches him with a knee lift. DDP picks him up and sets up the Diamond Cutter, but it's reversed into the Stun Gun! Austin covers, and gets the three!

    Winner and Still United States Champion: 'Stunning' Steve Austin

    Tony Schiavone: Hello and welcome folks to WCW Saturday Night! Tony Schiavone alongside new announce partner Frank Giovanni. We've got a huge night here at Disney Studios and we're sure to see some fireworks tonight.

    Frank Giovanni: That's right Tony and we've got a big main event tonight with The Nasty Boys getting their revenge on those psychos, Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan.

    Tony: How can you say that? Jack and Sullivan earned those titles at Slamboree. It's The Nasty Boys who are the psychos, attacking them last week.

    Frank: They'll get their revenge you just wait and see.

    Tony: That match is for the tag team titles too! Speaking of titles, we've got another tournament match for the World Television Championship, and it's now!

    ===========

    Match One

    -Booker T vs. Johnny B. Badd-

    Booker T comes to the ring with Stevie Ray and Johnny B. Badd is alone for some odd reason. They start off by locking up. Booker gets behind Johnny and goes for what looks like a german suplex, but Johnny slides around and now he's behind Booker. Johnny looks at his position and smacks Booker in the ass. Booker jumps away holding his cheek and looking at Johnny really weird. Johnny just shrugs and Booker looks madder than ever. He charges him and hits him with a right hand. Johnny fires back and whips him into the ropes and gives him a big DDT! Cover for only two. Johnny keeps Booker grounded throughtout. Booker finally mounts some sort of offense and comes off the ropes with a flying crossbody. It only gets two and Booker looks upset. Johnny jumps up and he's setting up The Kiss That Don't Miss! Uh-oh! Teddy Long grabbed his leg! Badd turns around to argue with Long but gets turned back around by Booker. Booker kicks him in the stomach and comes off the ropes with the Axe Kick! Booker covers and gets the three!!

    Winner: Booker T

    Tony: What is Teddy Long doing, Johnny had him!

    Frank: Booker was just playing with him, he was setting up that kick all match.

    Tony: Teddy Long used to be the manager of Johnny, but I don't know what their doing now!

    Frank: Teddy Long was probably being held down by Johnny B. Badd. What kind of name is that anyway, Johnny B. Badd? I mean seriously what is that?

    Tony: We'll be right back keep it right here on TBS. I don't how me and you are going to get along....

    Commercial Break

    ===========

    We come back from commercial and Sting is in the ring with a microphone.

    Feel The Sting

    Sting: Hopefully, you all saw what happened at the end of last week's main event. Before last week Ric Flair, I had as much respect as a man could have for another man. But when you bailed out on me in that match, just to challenge me at Clash Of The Champions, I lost almost all the respect I had for you. So if you want to be known as the only world champion in WCW, then you will have to go through me. I can guarantee you will feel the sting, at Clash Of The Champions.

    Tony: Those are some strong words from our International World Champion wouldn't you say Frank?

    Frank: They were but I for one cannot wait for this next match. 'Stunning' Steve Austin has decided to give Mike Dibacco a United States Championship shot.

    Tony: Oh come on Frank, this is nothing but a way for Austin to avoid facing anyone who could compete for the title.

    Frank: Put a sock in it Tony, Dibacco is a perfect opponent.

    ===========

    Match Two

    -'Stunning' Steve Austin © vs. Mike Dibacco-

    Austin starts off getting in Dibacco's face and it looks like he's telling him to hit him first. Dibacco looks to the crowd and nails Austin square in the face. Austin reels back and falls back into the corner. He checks to see if there is any blood, none, and gets back up. He gets back in his face and dares Mike to do it again. Mike does it, but Austin blocks the shot. He gives him his own right hand and it sends Mike over the top rope and onto the floor. Austin follows up on him and bangs his head off the post. He slides him back in the ring and hits a stalling suplex. He picks him back up and screams in his face about not ever hitting him again. He smacks him in the face and then he hits the Stun Gun! He covers and wins the match!

    Winner and Still U.S. Champion: 'Stunning' Steve Austin

    Tony: Oh come on, that was just...

    Frank: Awesome?

    Tony:...Yes Frank, awesome. (Sigh) We'll be right back.

    Commercial Break

    ===========

    Trash cans, chairs, tables oh my!

    Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan are seen on the street outside of the building gathering trash cans, chairs and anything else they come across into a dumpster on wheels. As they keep wheeling it along the side, we see Missy Hyatt following them. She comes up to Kevin and starts to talk to him.

    Missy Hyatt: Why hello there Kevin. What are you doing back here? Oh wow, I just have to say that seeing you with that title around your waist is really getting me...

    Cactus Jack: EXCUSE ME! I'm sorry to interrupt but we have more things to collect before our match tonight. Now if you could kindly, GET AWAY FROM US!

    Missy Hyatt looks a little scared but whispers something in Kevin's ear and he nods and smiles.

    Cactus Jack: What did she say?

    Kevin: Oh nothing...nothing at all....

    ===========

    Tony: What was that about, what did she say to Kevin Sullivan?

    Frank: Probably something about a little manage a trois later tonight eh Tony?

    Tony: Manage what?

    Frank: Manage a trois, when two girls and a...

    Frank is interrupted by the music of Rick Rude. Rude strolls to the ring and gets him and grabs a microphone.

    Rude Takeoff

    Rick Rude: Shut up! Listen here you fat, mickey mouse fans! Watch me, and see what a man is supposed to look like!

    Rude starts taking off his robe as the lights dim but he gets interrupted by Steamboat. Steamboat grabs him by the head and throws him to the outside. He follows him but Rude runs away from Ricky. Ricky chases him into the back and Rude has sprinted away. Rude jumps into a car and it speeds away with Steamboat banging on the trunk.

    Commercial Break

    ===========

    Match Three

    -Ron Simmons vs. Paul Orndorff w/ Paul Roma-

    Paul Orndorff starts off taking out Ron's legs in this first round World Television Championship tournament match. Then Paul starts beating on the head and neck of Simmons. Simons mounts an offense after a short while and takes down Orndorff. Roma gets on the apron but Simmons knocks him off quickly and gets right back to Paul. Paul fights back to his feet and throws Ron off the ropes. He catches Ron in a sleeper and Simmons is fading fast. The ref raises his hand once, no response. He raises it again, nothing from Simmons. He raises it a thrid time, he gets it up! Simmons feeding off the crowds energy and comes back with a couple of elbows to sternum. Ron kicks him in the stomach, and hooks up the Dominator! Roma jumps into the ring but the ref is already counting. He gets the three just before Roma jumps on Simmons.

    Winner: Ron Simmons

    Tony: Get some help out here Roma and Orndorff are beating down Ron Simmons!

    Frank: No leave them go, I'm sure they're just messing around.

    Roma throws Simmons into Orndorff and Orndorff hits the big piledriver! Simmons is out and Pretty Wonderful are celebrating like they won.

    Tony: Pretty Wonderful can't do anything fair, they always have to have some sort of advantage.

    Frank: As long as their Wonderful, I don't think they have anything to worry about anyway.

    Tony: Let's go to "Mean" Gene Okerlund who's got Big Van Vader backstage, Gene?

    ===========

    Vader Time!

    Gene Okerlund: Thank you Tony, I'm backstage with Big Van Vader who as I understand it, issued an open challenge to anyone, anywhere for a number one contender's spot.

    Vader: That's right Gene, and that challenge still stands. I want a title shot, and I don't care who I have to beat to get it. Whether it's guys like Rick Rude, Barry Windham, or even a guy like Denny Brown. It doesn't matter, because at Clash Of The Champions, it's Vader Time!

    Commercial Break

    ===========

    Match Four

    -Diamond Dallas Page vs. Brian Pillman-

    DDP goes right after Pillman, backing him into the corner and spitting in his face. After the loogie, Pillman comes out after DDP with a running clothesline. Pillman covers but it doesn't even get one. DDP jumps back up and fights Pillman back against the ropes. DDP whips into the corner and tries to follow up with a splash but gets caught with an elbow. Pillman takes control from there on out and Pillman hits the Flying Crossbody off the top rope. He covers but DDP kicks out! After DDP fights back to his feet he hits the Diamond Cutter and gets the three!

    Winner: Diamond Dallas Page

    Tony: DDP gets the win after kicking out of the Flying Crossbody!

    Frank: That's right my guy kicked out of Pillman's finisher.

    Tony: Your guy? What is that supposed to mean? Wait, hold that thought Frank, it's Ric Flair! Flair is coming to the ring!

    Commercial Break

    ===========

    Main Event

    -Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan © vs. The Nasty Boys w/ Missy Hyatt-

    Jack and Sullivan roll the dumpster to the ring and start unloading it. While they're unloading it, The nasty Boys come up from behind them and start beating on them. They throw them into the ring and whip them into the corners. Knobbs grabs a trash can and Saggs whips Jack towards Knobbs. Knobbs is holding out the trash can and Jack runs right into it! Sullivan comes from behind Knobbs with a cookie sheet and slams it over his head. Saggs charges at Sullivan and gets his own cookie sheet shot. Sullivan picks up a kendo stick and starts beating Saggs with it. Jack gets up and sets a trash can up in the corner. He whips Knobbs into it and Knobbs comes crashing into the corner and the trash can. Saggs is staggering back up and Sullivan gives him a big DDT onto a chair! Jack picks up a table and sets it up in another corner. He goes to whip Knobbs into it but it gets reversed. Sullivan steps in the way though and saves Jack from crashing through. Knobbs and Saggs come charging them both and drive them through the table like football players. Saggs and Knobbs pick up Jack and start punching him in the head until Kevin gets back up and hits Saggs with a trash can. Sullivan goes to hit Knobbs but he gets kicked in the stomach. Jack spins Knobbs around though and hits a double armed DDT onto trash can and a chair. He goes to cover but Kevin says no not yet. Knobbs comes from behind but gets surprised by a punch to the stomach from Jack.

    Kevin is outside setting up a table over top of the dumpster. Jack is still in the ring pounding on Knobbs and he sets up a ladder near the ropes. Jack hits a double armed DDT on Knobbs and Sullivan slides in the ring. Jack and Sullivan pull Knobbs to the top of the ladder, but Saggs is back up and pulls Sullivan down. Saggs starts brawling with Kevin and it seems Knobbs has woken up and is beating Jack on the ladder. Jack starts to pick up Knobbs but won't budge. Knobbs punches Jack and Jack falls!!! Jack falls through the table straight into the dumpster!!!

    Tony: Oh my god! Did you see that Frank, he just fell at least 20 feet!!!!

    Frank: Holy cow! I cannot believe what I just saw!

    Sullivan looks at Jack and gets blind sided by Saggs. Knobbs and Saggs start working on Sullivan and are just punishing him. Jack finally gets up and is bleeding from the mouth and forehead. He's got a huge smile on his face and charges the Nasty Boys with a chair. He hits Saggs and lays him out. He hits Knobbs and then Saggs rises and gets knocked down by the chair. Knobbs is up again and gets knocked down. Sullivan is back up and Jack picks up Knobbs. Sullivan picks up Saggs and they look at each other. Hyatt, who seems to have been hiding, gets on the ropes and starts screaming to Kevin about their deal. Kevin looks her right in the eye and hits the Piledriver on Saggs. Jack hits the doube armed DDT and they cover at the same time! They get the three and are still Champions!

    Winner and Still Tag Team Champions: Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan!

    WCW Parts ways with Dusty Rhodes!
    Today, Dusty Rhodes was released from his position on color commentator on WCW Saturday Night, and lefrt the company completely. Dusty was said to be in a sour mood ever since he left his job as head booker, to the new head booker. The current head booker said he "didn't have what it took" to commentate with someone as skilled as Tony Schiavone. Dusty is said to have left on bad terms, and may be heading to the WWF with his son, Dustin Rhodes.

    WCW Officials upset with ratings!
    After WCW Saturday Night scored a 1.73 in their Early Evening time slot, officials are said to be "worried, but still hopeful" about ratings. WCW Worldwide on Sunday scored a very poor 0.03 rating. Rumors have started that if they don't pick it up next week, we coudl very well see Worldwide, for the last time.

    Last week, Flair laid down the challenge to unify the titles, and make sure there was only one world champion. After walking out on Sting and letting him suffer the fate of the Vader Bomb, what will Sting have to say this week, and what sort of revenge could he take?

    Also in last week's main event, Vader and Barry Windham defeated Sting and Ric Flair, after losing respectivly at Slamboree to them in their own 1 on 1 contests. Vader has issued a challenge to anyone in WCW to challenge him in a number one contender's match at Clash Of The Champions. Will someone step forward this week or will we have to wait even longer to find out?

    Rick Rude came out and was obviously jealous of Ricky Steamboat and attacked him in a match with Brian Pillman. Rude challenged him to a match at Clash Of The Champions, but earlier this week, Rude has hinted at a special stipulation. Will we see what it is this Saturday!?

    Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan are now the reigning WCW Tag Team Champions, but last week, the Nasty Boys attacked them backstage and demanded their rematch. A bloody but smiling Cactus Jack kindly accepted, but said it would have to be in a Street Fight! What Bang Bang will we see from the tag champions?

    All of this and much more on WCW Saturday Night! 6 p.m. on TBS!

    Tony Schiavone: Welcome to WCW Worldwide everybody. Last night we had a jam packed main event on Saturday Night and Ric Flair made a huge move didn't he Gene?

    Gene Okerlund: Well that's right Tony and if you missed the ending of that match-up last night, don't you worry folks because we're going to show it again later tonight.

    Tony: That's right Gene but first we have a match between two up and comers, and well here's one of them right now.

    Match One

    -Jean Paul Levesque vs. 2 Cold Scorpio-

    2 Cold gets a big pop from the crowd. JPL knocks down 2 Cold but if Scorpio hits more than 2 punches, JPL bails out of the ring or runs to the otehr side of the ring. Eventually, JPL hits a stalling suplex and covers for only 1. The end comes when JPL goes for the Pedigree, but it gets reversed into a sling shot into the corner. JPL slides down to the bottom of the ropes and 2 Cold sees the Scorpio Splash coming. He goes up top, hits it! He gets the three.

    Winner: 2 Cold Scorpio

    Tony: 2 Cold Scorpio pulls one out on that snob Jean Paul.

    Gene: That's right Tony and I'm glad, maybe he'll be a little nicer now.

    Tony: Well I hope you're right Gene. Let's take a look at last night's events leading up to the main event.

    ===========

    Tony: Now Gene, just one week removed from Slamboree we've already got what looks to be great for Clash Of The Champions, with a HUGE main event in Sting against Ric Flair in a unification match. For the first time in WCW History, we will see a unification of the two world titles. That match is sure to be huge. Also, another big match, Rick Rude layed down the challenge after he beat down Ricky Steamboat and he wants the Dragon, at Clash Of The Champions!

    Gene: You know what Tony, this is shaping up to be yet another amazing WCW main event caliber show. And the best part of this is, it's on free cable television.

    Tony: Yes it is, only 3 weeks away Clash Of The Champions comes into your living room for free! Let's get to our main event of the night here.

He covers but for only 2. Guardian throws Dustin into the ropes and hits a tilt-a-whirl back breaker. He covers again but only 2. Guardian throws him into the turnbuckle and mounts him. The crowd counts with him as he gets to ten, but Dustin grabs his legs and powerbombs him to the mat. He covers but again a 2 count.
