Public Enemy’s Bring Tha Noize plays over highlights of the NWA wrestlers, ending with Bret Hart and the NWA World Title.

Joey Styles and Johnny Polo are seated at ringside. Styles welcomes everyone to another Wednesday Night Warriors, where tonight, Mike Rotunda and Ron Simmons go one on one in our main event. Also here tonight we will speak with Kevin Sullivan about the offer he made to Paul Bearer last week. Polo asks Styles what Styles thought of Polo’s match this past weekend on NWA World Wide Wrestling. Styles says Polo needs to work on his skills a little bit, and Polo says that’s what all Joey’s girlfriends say about Joey. Also here tonight Ricky Steamboat has requested some time to speak about the controversial finish to last week’s NWA World Tag Title Match. But first, NWA World Heavyweight Champion Bret Hart is in a non title match RIGHT NOW!!!!
Pat Tanaka is standing in the ring as Bret Hart’s music begins to play. The NWA World Champion climbs into the ring and poses for the fans a bit. As Hart is giving away his sunglasses to a kid at ringside,TED DIBIASE’S MUSIC BEGINS TO PLAY?!??!?!??!?!? Dibiase makes his way to, and then climbs into the ring. Dibiase grabs the microphone and hands Pat Tanaka a briefcase full of money. Dibiase says he wants to buy Tanaka’s contract for tonight! Tanaka agrees and leaves with the cash!! Dibiase then announces that he will take Tanaka’s place!!!!! Bret is more than happy to oblige!!!
NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION BRET HART
VS.
TED DIBIASE
NON TITLE
VS.
TED DIBIASE
NON TITLE
Styles and Polo cannot believe that we are getting this unannounced, unplanned impromptu non title match between the two men who will meet at The Chi Town Rumble. Polo reminds everyone that Dibiase holds a two pin advantage in singles matches over Bret. Bret and Dibiase may have a deep rooted animosity toward each other, but that doesn’t mean that they go full tilt at each other. These two veterans are two of the best technical wrestlers in the world, and two of the smartest as well, they aren’t going to risk slipping up in a brawl.
The two are as evenly matched as any two wrestlers can be. Everytime Hart gets a hold locked in, Dibiase finds a way to reverse it and vice versa. Hart finally gets the upper hand and has Dibiase in a world of trouble after Dibiase whips Hart into the corner and tries to charge in after him, Hart gets his feet up and Dibiase runs right into them!!! Hart then hops up on the second turnbuckle and catches a dazed Dibiase with a Bulldog!!!! Hart then goes into this sequence, hitting a side russian leg sweep, a backbreaker, a snap suplex and a forearm from the middle turnbuckle. Bret then locks in the Sharpshooter!!!!! The crowd is going wild, but Dibiase isn’t giving up!!!!
Alfonso is right in Dibiase’s face as Bret pulls back on the Sharpshooter, Styles says that Dibiase is about to give up!!!!! And then

Simmons and Rogers then start to brawl until Simmons PRESS SLAMS ALL 300 PLUS POUNDS OF BIG BUBBA ROGERS!!!!! Dibiase quickly bails out of the ring, he and his crew escape to the back as Simmons checks on the downed World Heavyweight Champion.
WINNER: NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION BRET HART VIA DQ

A video plays showing a Title belt sitting in the middle of an empty ring. A voice over says “ONE RING. 25 MEN. ONE TITLE. THE NWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION WILL BE CROWNED ON FEBRUARY 20TH LIVE FROM CHICAGO ON MTV WHEN THE NWA PRESENTS THE CHI TOWN RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Polo and Styles talk about what happened in the last segment and show Simmons just tearing through people! They talk about tonight’s main event between Rotunda and Simmons and how if anyone interferes they will be suspended. Styles says that it’s a hefty suspension, 3 weeks, and that would mean missing The Chi Town Rumble and a shot at the International Title!!! Styles then sends us to the back to Missy Hyatt who is with Kevin Sullivan and Sullivan is holding an hourglass. Missy asks Sullivan if the offer Sullivan made to Bearer last week was legit or if it was another twisted mindgame. Sullivan turns the hourglass over so the sand starts to fall. Sullivan says that time is slipping through Bearer’s hands just like the sand is slipping to the other side of the hourglass. Sullivan says he knows that the decision is eating at the fringes of his soul. Sullivan says that it shouldn’t, the choice is an easy one to make, either join him and dominate the wrestling world, or don’t and…. SULLIVAN SMASHES THE HOURGLASS ON THE FLOOR!!!!!! Sullivan says if they don’t they’ll end up just like the hourglass, broken, shattered, twisted and scattered to the wind.
Back in the arena, Styles thinks that there is something seriously wrong with Sullivan. Polo says he likes it, that Sullivan is getting right in Undertaker and Paul Bearer’s heads. Styles then talks about Buddy Landel’s attack on The Kid several weeks back, and how Landel is refusing to face The Kid in the ring. He then shows footage of this past weekend’s NWA World Wide and Buddy Landel attacking Tommy Dreamer, and The Kid making the save.
THE KID
VS.
JOHNNY GRUNGE
VS.
JOHNNY GRUNGE
The Kid looks better than he did last time, with the limp no longer noticeable. Grunge tries to turn the match into a brawl early, but The Kid uses his educated feet to end that quickly. Grunge then tries to take the match to the floor, and The Kid obliges him, bringing the crowd to their feet after hitting a sommersault plancha on Grunge!!! The Kid rolls Grunge back into the ring and after a top rope leg drop pins him for the 1-2-3!!!
WINNER: THE KID
Joey says that The Kid will have a much harder time with his opponent this weekend on NWA World Wide when he faces the undefeated Hunter Hearst Healmsley. Speaking of HHH he and his manager James J Dillon are backstage with Missy Hyatt!
Missy asks about HHH’s match with The Kid this weekend on World Wide and how The Kid is HHH’s biggest test to date. HHH doesn’t see it that way, he says that it is a disgrace that he has had to wrestle these lowerclass wrestlers since getting here. HHH says he is the future of the business and his time is now. He wants Bret Hart and the NWA World Title and he is tired of having to toil with these wrestlers who lack of any real skill. Dillon says that they want the NWA to stand up and notice what they have in HHH, and if they have to force that issue, if they have to do something to get the NWA’s attention they will. Dillon says that HHH has signed to be in the Chi Town Rumble, and that after he wins it and takes the International Title, the NWA will have no choice but to recognize HHH as the best wrestler in the world today.

A video plays declaring SID VICIOUS returns to the NWA at the Chi Town Rumble!!!!
Polo and Styles show a video of what happened last week in the main event match between Ricky Steamboat and Shane Douglas and the challengers for their NWA World Tag Titles, The Bruise Brothers. After the Bruise Brothers repeatedly made illegal switches in and out of the ring, Shane Douglas finally cracked and bashed The Bruise Brothers with a chair forcing a DQ. Styles says that the Bruise Brothers manager Col Robert Parker has been petitioning the NWA for a rematch for his team and demanding that if Steamboat and Douglas get counted out or DQed they lose the titles. Styles then sends us to Dory Funk Jr. for the NWA’s decision.
Dory says good evening and thanks everyone for watching WNW. Dory says he has heard Col Robert Parker’s petition, and he has also seen both matches in question. Dory says he would be hard pressed to rule against Steamboat and Douglas because he says he would do the same thing Douglas did. Dory says it was in his mind to order a Texas Tornado Tag Match without any rules and just let the two teams duke it out to see who the better team was, but then he talked with Ricky Steamboat. The Dragon called Dory and asked Dory to make the match with the stipulations Col Parker wanted!!!! So Dory will do it, at the Chi Town Rumble, Ricky Steamboat and Shane Douglas will defend the NWA World Tag Team Titles against The Bruise Brothers and if Shane and Ricky are DQed they will lose the tag titles. But Dory says that isn’t all, to keep the Bruise Brothers in line he is ordering that a second referee be placed on t he outside to make sure that the Bruise Brother do not try to pull the old switcheroo.
Joey then sends us to Missy Hyatt who is with the NWA World Tag Team Champions for their reactions.
Douglas is incredibly pissed off that Steamboat would agree to this, he doesn’t understand what is in Ricky’s head. Ricky says he understands why Douglas did what he did last week, but they are better than that. Steamboat says he knows that they are the best tag team in the World today, they have trained to be the best and he refuses to continue to win by using anything other than their skills. Steamboat says Douglas is the best partner he has ever had, and he knows what they can do together. He says at the Chi Town Rumble they will prove to the World and to the Bruise Brothers that they don’t need help to beat any team. Douglas shakes his head, throws his hands in the air and storms off!!!
Back in the arena, Polo laughs at this saying that Steamboat and Douglas aren’t on the same page and they are doomed because of it!!! Styles says when we return, Kevin Nash will be in action.

A Video plays showing highlights of Barry Windham's NWA Carreer and says he will return at the Chi Town Rumble!!
Styles shows us a recap of what happened at the start of the show, when Bret Hart h ad Ted Dibiase locked in the Sharpshooter only to have Mike Rotunda and Big Bubba Rogers attack him from behind. He then sends us to Missy Hyatt who is with Dibiase, Rogers and Rotunda. Missy says that if they do that later tonight to Ron Simmons when he faces Mike Rotunda, then they will be suspended for 3 weeks and miss the Chi Town Rumble!!!! Dibiase says they know what they are doing and says that Ron Simmons made a huge mistake getting involved. Dibiase says later tonight Mike Rotunda will make short work of Ron Simmons, and Rotunda doesn’t need any help!! Dibiase tells Bret that he got lucky tonight, but he won’t be so lucky on Feb 20th, live on MTV at the Chi Town Rumble. Because at the Rumble, Dibiase swears he will take the NWA Title from Bret!!!
Run DMC’S Down with the King is blasting in the arena when we return from break as Kevin Nash is walking to the ring. Styles says that Nash is hell bent on getting another shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Title and has joined the Chi Town Rumble, not because he wants the International Title, but because he thinks if he has the International Title that will get him more shots at the NWA World Heavyweight Belt!!!!
D’LO BROWN
VS.
KEVIN NASH
VS.
KEVIN NASH
Nash kills Brown dead. He blasts the rookie with a big boot to the jaw, then nails him with a sidewalk slam before crushing him with a Jack Knife Powerbomb, but instead of pinning Brown Nash PRESS SLAMS HIM OUT OF THE RING!!!!! This is the third week in a row Nash has pressed someone over the top to the floor!!! Referee Pee Wee Moore counts D’lo out, and gives the win to Nash.
WINNER: KEVIN NASH VIA COUNT OUT
Brown isn’t moving and medics are out to check on him Nash grabs the ringside microphone. Nash says that it didn’t have to be this way, the NWA made it this way. All they had to do was give him his rematch, but they didn’t. Nash points at Brown who is now being loaded onto a stretcher and says that this kid career is now over before it started because of that decision. Nash says at the Chi Town Rumble he will end 19 other careers if he has to in order to win. Nash says once again that once he has the International Title the NWA won’t be able to deny him World Heavyweight Title matches!!!
Styles mentions that Polo is in the Rumble and asks if that means Nash is going to end his career as well? Polo tells Styles to shut up. Styles is getting a kick out of how worried Polo is acting and Polo asks doesn’t Missy Hyatt have someone in the back to talk to?? Styles laughs as Polo sends us to a commercial break.

TOMMY DREAMER
VS.
TNT
VS.
TNT
TNT successfully defeated his former partner Crash The Terminator this past weekend on NWA World Wide and tonight tries to defeat another wrestler who has been on a roll here in the NWA as of late, Tommy Dreamer. Polo doesn’t say much about Dreamer, again simply stating that they have known each other for a very, very long time and that he doesn’t particularly like Tommy. Dreamer and TNT put on quite a brawl, including fighting on the outside of the ring. TNT looks to have the match locked in after a spinwheel kick, but Dreamer kicks out at the last possible second. TNT then makes the mistake of dropping his head too early and Dreamer catches him with a DDT out of nowhere for the pin. Styles remarks that Dreamer’s DDT looks very much like Polo’s and Polo says it’s because they learned it from the same person and then tells Styles to drop it.
WINNER: TOMMY DREAMER
Missy Hyatt is backstage with NWA World Heavyweight Champion Bret Hart. Bret says that he gave the world a preview tonight of what is going to happen at the Chi Town Rumble. Bret says if Dibiase’s thugs hadn’t attacked him, Dibiase was going to give up. Bret says he hopes Ron Simmons knocks Mike Rotunda’s block off!!!! Hart tells Dibiase at the Chi Town Rumble, he will be excellently executed!!!!!

Rotunda tries beating on Simmons but the former college football standout isn’t feeling any off it!!!! After blocking a Rotunda punch Simmons levels him with a punch of his own!!! Simmons then goes to work dominating Rotunda, first with a football tackle, then several clotheslines and then a press slam!!!!! Simmons whips Rotunda into the ropes and damn near breaks his back with a spinebuster!!!!! Simmons doesn’t get to make the cover though as Big Bubba Rogers jumps into the ring and attacks Simmons with Rotunda’s briefcase, drawing the DQ, and guaranteeing Rogers a three week suspension!!!!

Missy Hyatt talks to Ricky Steamboat about his match against Eli on WNW. Missy is surprised that Douglas is no where to be found and Ricky says after their last interview with Missy, Ricky hasn’t seen Douglas anywhere. Ricky says Douglas is young and just has to blow off some steam. Ricky says at WNW he will be breathing fire and that the Bruise Brothers will get only a taste of the inferno that will engulf them at the Chi Town Rumble.
Hunter Hearst Helmsley with James J Dillon defeats The Kid after clipping The Kid’s bad knee and then locking in a Texas Cloverleaf to force the submission. While Landel never got in the ring or physically got involved he continually messed with The Kid, shouting at him and getting into the Kid’s head. The Kid had HHH beat after a sommersault plancha, but took too long to try and roll HHH back into the ring because he was arguing with Landel, which gave HHH the chance to recover and clip The Kid.
Styles closes the show saying that he wouldn’t want to be Landel when the Kid finally gets his hands on him, Styles tells everyone to tune into WNW to hear Dory’s announcement, and see Ricky Steamboat face Eli. Then here on NWA World Wide next week, Chris Adams will make his NWA debut and our main event will feature Buddy Landel here against Tommy Dreamer in a rematch from last week!!!! Landel says Dreamer is lucky he didn’t cripple him the first time, this time he’ll finish the job!!!
