Post by Captain Charisma on Sept 24, 2013 6:35:34 GMT
Airing LIVE on TBS: The Superstation from Tampa, Fl on 9/23/96
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE’S BOMBTRACK opens the broadcast as the camera pans across a rockin’ Expo Hall!
Tony Schiavone, Dusty Rhodes, and Larry Zbyszko welcome everyone to the show, and fans if you missed Fall Brawl last night, be sure to catch the replay airing tomorrow night on all major pay-per-view outlets! In one of the wildest Wargames in WCW history, the Stinger, Lex Luger, Diamond Dallas Page, and the Nature Boy Ric Flair exacted a bit of revenge on Curt Hennig’s Perfect Team, we will be hearing from the participants later in the broadcast. Rey Mysterio put up a valiant effort, but was unable to wrest the title away Dean Malenko, and the Generation neXt Championship is still possessed by an ECW contracted athlete. Some exciting news is that Tiger Mask IV, Gran Naniwa, and Super Delfin are all here with us once again tonight, so without further adieu, David Penzer; take it away!
Match 1
Brad Armstrong made his return to WCW a couple of weeks ago, and took on one half of the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Billy Black. Their styles meshed well, and these two Southern rasslin’ practitioners put on a fun little match. Black missed a big moonsault from the top rope, and the Armstrong family favorite capitalized quickly with his patent Side Russian Leg Sweep with a float-over to pick up the victory.

Mauro Ranallo has found his way into the locker room of the World’s Heavyweight Champion Curt Hennig, who along with Scott Norton and especially Buff Bagwell, are each showing the signs of battle from last night. Bagwell’s head is wrapped like a mummy after the gusher he had last night. Curt says that each one of them feels like… Well they feel like crap. But Sting, Luger, Page, and especially Flair better not keep their head in the clouds for long, because this war is far from over. Bagwell is being petted by the First Lady Miss Elizabeth, and says that it might be a few weeks before he is cleared to wrestle, but before they bury him in the ground he will, HE WILL, get retribution on Diamond Dallas Page! Bagwell holds him personally responsible for his 16 stitches, and he will get his pound of flesh!
Match 2
David Taylor took on fellow WCW veteran Desperado Joe Gomez in a hard hitting encounter. Gomez showed plenty of fight, but the Desperado just couldn’t match the grappling ability of the British Bruiser David Taylor who put Gomez away with the Regal Stretch version of the STF.

Mauro Ranallo was next to the announce position for the next interview as he brought out Sags and Knobbs the Nasty Boys, who discuss last night’s big tag title match. The Nasties feel that if it hadn’t been for Parker’s shoe, they would be standing here tonight with the Unified Tag Team Championship of the World, and that it has been too long since the Nasties held the gold.
This of course brings out Col. Robert Parker and his champions, Big Bubba and Tony Anthony, Southern Justice. Well cry us a river boys, is what Rogers feels about the situation. Parker says that the Nasty Boys had their shot, and they lost. Now what they need to do is head to the back of the line, win a few more wrestling matches and then they could talk about shoulda, coulda, woulda get another title shot. Tony Anthony says that it’s just like two Yanks to come out here and whine, cry, and run their mouth would earn them a rematch!
And that was more than Sags and Knobbs were willing to take! The Nasties pounce on Southern Justice, and as Mauro heads for the hills, Robert E. Lee Parker raises the latest addition to his wardrobe, a WALKING CANE, above his head and is preparing to brain Sags…
THE AMERICAN DREAM MAKES THE SAVE!!! Dusty blasts Parker square in the nose, and is ready to give him more, but the Col. makes a hasty retreat, with his boys licking their wounds as well following closely behind!

Mauro is now joined by the hurting, but happy duo of Sting and Lex Luger. They heard what Curt had to say and that is just fine with them. It felt good to put a beating on that perfect team, but with everything those guys have put the Stinger and the Package through neither of them will ever be done with that bunch. And Sting has a special message for the Ravishing One, Sting hopes that Rude feels the same as Curt about things not being over, because a half hour inside of Wargames wasn’t nearly enough to quench the Stinger’s thirst for Rude’s blood! OWWWWWWW!
Mauro sends it over to fellow WCW correspondent Kimberly who is standing by with a special guest…

The Nature Boy knows this is very un-Nature Boy like, but honey, why don’t you go check on Dallas, and tell him that Ric Flair says he did a helluva job last night. Ya know, Ric Flair has had a lot of success in what we know to be the greatest sport in the world, professional wrestling. Ric Flair has spilled a lot of blood, dripped a lot of sweat, and cried a lot of tears to get where he is today. But none of it, NONE OF IT matters as much as family. And somewhere along the way, the Nature Boy forgot that. Ric Flair has never been a modest man; Ric Flair has always demanded the best from himself and his family. And each and every time, his family has given him their best.
Somewhere along the way Naitch forgot that. Well Arn Anderson, I have something to say to you, and I hope you hear me Double A. THANK YOU. For my entire life, my cousins the Andersons’ have had my back, they helped mold the Nature Boy into an 11 Time World’s Heavyweight Champion. Well a few weeks ago in my hometown, Arn Anderson reminded me of a lot of things. Arn, I want you to know, brother, I got your message loud and clear. It ain’t always about the Nature Boy. ECW is the house that Arn Anderson built, and I was pissin’ in the Enforcer’s pool!
Well Curt Hennig, WCW is the house that the Nature Boy built. Along with guys like Dusty Rhodes, Sting, the Steiner Brothers, and WOOOOOOO all of the Horsemen! And Curt, not only have you been pissin in my pool, but you’ve been sleeping in my bed, playing with my dog, and driving my car. MY CAR! Hennig, I am going to teach you a lesson, very much like the one my cousin, my best friend, my brother taught me. But Curt that lesson won’t be taught out of love, oh no, pal this lesson will be taught out of contempt. Out of hatred. THE NATURE BOY HAS FIRE IN HIS EYES! You’re right about one thing champ, Fall Brawl was just the beginning, and when Ric Flair is done teaching this lesson, you won’t come out the other side a better man for it, you will come out the other side a beaten, broken, former champion! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Match 3
Dem Aloha Boys, Iaukea and Rosey, under the tutelage of the Godfather Samu took on the masked duo of El Diablo and Gran Akuma. It was a back and forth contest that saw Diablo and Akuma take it to the island boys, but Iaukea proved to be full of fight, and plant Diablo with the Super Samoan Driver. He followed that up with a tag to his 300 lbs. cousin who flew through the air demolishing the masked man with the Superfly Splash for a big victory

Mauro Ranallo joins Tony, Dusty, and Larry in the booth for the following two contests, and the guys discuss the impressive showings by Tiger Mask IV, Gran Naniwa, and the 1995 Super J Cup Champion Super Delfin, and how exciting the Generation neXt Division is, even with the champion being a member of another promotion. Mauro says that as great as it was to see Tiger Mask in a WCW ring, he can’t believe that the dream match he has been waiting for will be on free television when he takes on Rey Mysterio in a few moments. Tony says that before we get to that one though, Naniwa and Delfin are in tag action!
Match 4
Gran Naniwa and Super Delfin took on fellow masked competitors La Parka and Psychosis, part of the Nacidos de Llamas, the family born of flames, led by Don the Natural Callis. This was an amazing tag team encounter full of crazy spots and maneuvers. Naniwa appeared to have La Parka defeated after planting him with a Skytwister Press, but Psychosis was there to save his partner. Psy and Delfin then tore into one another, and while Randy don’t call me Pee Wee Anderson was breaking them up, the Natural slid the trademark steel folding chair into the “Chairman” of WCW, and La Parka proceeded to waffle Naniwa with it to pick up a big victory.

Match 5
vs
Rey Mysterio and Tiger Mask IV shook hands at the beginning of the contest and then proceeded to live up to, if not exceed expectations in a match that was more scientific, but if possible, more exciting than the previous encounter. TM obviously paid close attention to Rey’s match with Malenko last night, and zeroed in on Mysterio’s solar plexus after he took the devastating Super Gutbuster from the Lone Wolf last night. But the big heart possessed by the smallest man on the WCW roster was never more apparent than it was tonight as somehow; someway Rey was able to reverse Tiger Mask’s attempted Running Lyger Bomb into a hunacanrana, Rey cinched up tight on both legs, 1…….2……..3! He got him!
Tiger Mask couldn’t believe it, and questioned the referee who assured him it was indeed a three count. TM shook his head in disbelief, but raised Mysterio’s hands after the contest, showing a great deal of respect.

Match 6
vs
The Steiner bros. picked up a win over Hell on Wheels last night, but that obviously wasn’t enough for either team as we get a pair of singles matches here tonight on Nitro. First up Scotty took on CW Anderson who had his partner Kendall Windham in his corner. Steiner took advantage of things, and that is Windham proved to be a difference maker at ringside; distracting the ref, and picking Scotty’s ankle when given the opportunity. HoW seemed to have things under control, but didn’t account for the suddenness of Scotty Steiner’s offensive bursts. A couple of suplexes and a Frankensteiner later, Scotty picked up a hard fought victory!

WCW Correspondent Kimberly is standing by with the United States Heavyweight Champion who says that he feels lucky to have survived last night with his championship intact. The rules did not favor the champ in that one, no championship advantage and the Dragon was able to get it done. But tonight he feels real lucky. Because tonight he gets to put his hands on Rick Martel in a one on one situation, and Martel can bet that the Dragon still feels like he as a score to settle here tonight
Match 7
vs
Ricky Steiner hooked it up with the leader of Hell on Wheels, the masked Doc. Last night Doc did everything he could to help Windham and Anderson pick up a victory over the Steiners, but ate a couple Steinerlines for his troubles. This bout started off much the same, but the big masked man was able to fight back and take the fight to Rick, even picking up a nearfall after a devastating Lariat of his own. Doc quickly found out that it would take more than that to hurt the thick skull of Ricky Steiner. Luckily for Doc he had more than that, and he slid something into his mask and KO’D Rick Steiner with it, busting him open and picked up a shocking victory!

MAIN EVENT
vs
Ricky Steamboat and Rick Martel picked up where they left off last night and really went at it in this one. Steamboat jumped out to an early advantage, but tricky Ricky Martel knows all the shortcuts and went to the eyes in order to gain the upper hand. Martel’s problem here was that he was too big a fan of his own work, and paid the price for taking his eye off the ball and ate a big dropkick from the Steamer. After some big chops, and his patent multiple pinfall attempts, the Dragon ascended to the top rope, and the Dragon flew, nailing Martel with his High Cross Body! 1……..2………. WHAT THE HELL?

This big youngster has come in and is putting the boots to Steamboat! Nick Patrick calls for the bell, this one has been thrown out, but now Martel is directing traffic and his buddy is doing a number on Steamboat. Martel gets into Ricky’s face and paintbrushes him with slaps before applying the Boston Crab! Finally the babyface locker room heads to the ring to save the Dragon, but too little; too late the damage has been done, and Rick Martel is awful proud of himself!
Working on it now.
