SATURDAY NIGHT SUPERSTARS!!!!!
3/11/89
LIVE FROM CENTER STAGE, ATLANTA ON THE SUPERSTATION
Jim Ross and Bob Caudle welcome everyone to Saturday Night Superstars LIVE here on the Superstation!!!!! We are one week away from Clash of the Champions!!!! And we have one heck of a show for you today!!! First the Youngbloods have asked for a chance to apologize to the Rock N Roll Express for their actions last week and the Rock N Roll Express have agreed to the meeting!!! Also here today, after what went down at the close of the program last week, The Horsemen have demanded to be heard as a unit here tonight. In the Main Event today Brad Armstrong hooks it up with Terrance Taylor and Taylor can’t back out of this one!!!! Plus National Heavyweight Champion “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff teams with the Shoguns in six man action but now lets go to the ring for the debut of “GATOR” GARY YOUNG!!!!!!!
”GATOR” GARY YOUNG DEFEATS JOEY MAGGS WITH THE GATORBREAKER (HANGMAN’S NECKBREAKER) @5:01
Young comes out to the ring wearing jeans and boots as well as a gator skin vest and a gator tooth necklace. He just breaks out into a brawl as soon as the bell rings, wrestling as dirty as he looks. Maggs puts up a fight but in the end it’s not enough to defeat Young here in his TBS Debut!
Jim Ross and Bob Caudle are at ringside and have been joined by Terrance Taylor and Mr. Jones!!! Ross asks about tonight’s Main Event as Taylor will face the man who defeated Mr. Jones in the middle of the ring last week, Brad Armstrong!!!
Terrance Taylor: You idiots have no idea what you have done!!! I am worth more than this, I should be in a title match at Clash of the Champions, I should be wrestling someone of substance. But instead it’s BRAD ARMSTRONG. A member of the MEDIOCRE Armstrong Family. What a joke!! Just because he was able to beat Mr. Jones doesn’t mean he has what it takes to be in the ring with me!!! Just know this, what happens to Brad Armstrong tonight isn’t my fault, it’s YOUR fault!!! It’s the fans fault, it’s the matchmakers fault, and when they are STRETCHERING the BROKEN Brad Armstrong out of the ring tonight I hope all of you feel the shame you should!!!!!
KING TONGA W/GARY HART DEFEATS THE ITALIAN STALLION WITH THE TONGAN DEATH GRIP @ 3:01
Tonga totally dominates the Italian Stallion, beating him from pillar to post. This match was over before it started. After the match Tonga and Gary Hart join Jim Ross and Bob Caudle at ringside. Ross asks about the open challenge Tonga has laid out for the Clash.
Gary Hart: Jim Ross I do not expect anyone to take up the challenge laid out by my man King Tonga!!! No one has the guts to step in the ring with the UNDEFEATED King Tonga, this man comes from a long line of warrior barbarian kings from the Isle of Tonga. He is the most dangerous man in all of wrestling!!! There is no one in wrestling with the guts to take on my man. And if anyone does prove to be more brave and foolish than anyone else than they better give their soul to Jesus because their BUTT belongs to King Tonga!!!
Jim Ross and Bob Caudle talk about what happened last week between the Youngbloods and the Rock N Roll Express. They throw us to footage of last week!!!
LAST WEEK ON SATURDAY NIGHT SUPERSTARS:
We see the closing moments of last week’s match as Ricky Morton catches Chris Youngblood with a roll up to get the win. After the match the Youngbloods are visually upset. Ricky and Robert offer handshakes, it takes a moment, but the Youngbloods finally shake the Rock N Roll Express’ hands, BUT THEN THE YOUNGBLOODS ATTACK RICKY AND ROBERT!!!!!!!!
The Youngbloods absolutely annihilate the Rock N Roll Express, going as far as slamming Ricky’s head into the ring post and beating Robert down in the ring. Rick is busted open after hitting the ringpost!!! Chris takes Ricky’s blood and smears it on his chest as he lets out a war cry!!! END VTR
Back at ringside Jim Ross and Bob Caudle have been joined by the Youngbloods. Ross says that the Youngbloods asked for this time, and he has heard they plan to apologize to the Rock N Roll Express here today, and he is glad to hear it because he always thought the Youngbloods were fine young men.
Mark Youngblood: Jim Ross, my brother and I have a lot to apologize for. There are many things we have done, things we have ignored and that ends TODAY!!! What we would like to ask is that the Rock N Roll Express come out here so we can address them directly.
Ricky and Robert come out in street clothes. They look a little hesitant to come out.
Ricky Morton: Alright, y’all said you wanted to apologize for what happened last week, and Robert and I know that sometimes a match can just push you to a point where you do things you wouldn’t normally do. And we are man enough to accept your apology, and shake your hands.
Ricky and Robert shake hands with Mark and Chris. The Youngbloods hold onto the handshake…….
Mark Youngblood: We do apologize…………..FOR NOT DOING THIS SOONER!!!!
THE YOUNGBLOODS SUCKER PUNCH THE ROCK N ROLL EXPRESS!!!!
MARK AND CHRIS ARE ALL OVER THE ROCK N ROLLS!!!! JIM ROSS AND BOB CAUDLE ARE YELLING AT THEM TO STOP!!! MARK RAMS RICKY INTO THE RINGPOST, BUSTING MORTON WIDE OPEN AGAIN!!!! CHRIS TRIES TO GIVE ROBERT A PILEDRIVER ON THE CONCRETE BUT THE LOCKER ROOM CLEARS OUT AS SEVERAL JOBBERS AND OFFICIALS RUN OUT TO RUN THE YOUNGBLOODS OUT!!!
Robert Gibson and a very bloody Ricky Morton are with Jim Ross and Bob Caudle and they are RAGING MAD!!! Jim Ross is asking Ricky and Robert to please go get medical attention.
Ricky Morton: Jim Ross, this isn’t the first time Robert and I have gotten our butts beat and it won’t be the last either, so getting checked on can wait because I gotta get something off my chest!!! YOUNGBLOODS!!!! You back jumping PUNKS!!!! You wanna jump on us!!! THEN COME JUMP ON US A THE CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS!!! YOU HEAR ME!!!! WE ARE LAYING OUT THE CHALLENGE!!!!! DO YOU GOT THE GUTS TO GET IN THE RING OR ARE YOU JUST BACK JUMPING COWARDS!!!
The Rock N Roll Express then head to the back with the challenge made to the Youngbloods for Clash of the Champions!!!!
HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN DEFEATS THE MASSIVE CANNONBALL GRIZZLY AFTER SLAMMING THE BIG MAN AND THEN CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP @5:43
Hacksaw then joins Jim Ross and Bob Caudle!!!! Ross asks Hacksaw if he is ready to face Paul Orndorff for the National Title at the Clash of the Champions!
Hacksaw Duggan: HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! You know Jim Ross, Bob Caudle, I’m hearing some things about Mr. Blunderful!!!! I been hearing that Orndorff is having a hard time sleeping, he is tossing and turning, waking up in a cold sweat because he knows ol’ Hacksaw is coming for his title!!! And he knows, he knows I can beat him. And at Clash of the Champions I will beat him, and take that title TOUGH GUY!!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Jim Ross and Harley Race have been joined by National Heavyweight Champion “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff and his manager Harley Race!! Ross brings up the match between Duggan and Orndorff at Clash.
Paul Orndorff: A lot of people seem to think my days with this title is numbered!!! Well let me tell all of you something, this title belongs to ME!!! Hacksaw Duggan isn’t going to take anything from me but a butt whipping at Clash of the Champions!!!! I’m going to tell you something Duggan, I am going to dissect you and take you completely apart!!! I’m going to show you and all those people out there what Mr. Wonderful is all about!!! HACKSAW DUGGAN!!!! Mr. Wonderful is coming to Norfolk Virginia with BOTH BARRELS LOADED!!! And I am going to unload them both ON YOU!!!!
THE SHOGUNS WITH HARLEY RACE DEFEAT CURTIS THOMPSON & CHRIS WALKER WHEN SASAKI PINS WALKER AFTER HE PUTS WALKER ON HIS SHOULDERS AND HASE HITS A MISSLE DROPKICK OFF THE TOP ROPE @5:14
Jim Ross says the Shoguns are impressive and have to be looked at as future challengers to both the United States Tag Team Titles and the World Tag Team Championship. Ross then sends us to this special look at the man who will debut at Clash of the Champions, KONNAN!!!!
The video is set to Way Cool Jr. as we see Konnan working out, lifting weights and such. Its also cut with shots of Konnan hitting big moves in the ring, high flying, high impact manuvears, it also shows him in his mask signing autographs for people, hugging kids and the video ends with him getting into a Camaro and peeling out of the parking lot. KONNAN EL BARBARO IS COMING TO CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS then flashes on the screen.
Jim Ross throws us back to the closing of last weeks show, when Sting and his mystery partner former World Heavyweight Champion Terry Funk took on World Tag Team Champions Tully Blanchard and “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson in a non title match:
LAST WEEK ON SATURDAY NIGHT SUPERSTARS: The finish sees Arn and Terry brawling into the damn crowd while Sting and Tully battle in the ring!!! Sting hits a Stinger Splash in the corner and then follows it up with a Super Stinger Splash off the top rope!!!! As soon as the bell rings Ric Flair and Barry Windham have hit the ring!!!!! They are double teaming Sting while Arn and Funk are brawling in the crowd!!!! Suddenly Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat and “Wildfire” Tommy Rich come running out!!!!! IT’S ALL OUT ANARCHY HERE ON THE SUPERSTATION AS EVERYONE PAIRS OFF!!!!! ROSS SAYS WE ARE OUT OF TIME!!!! END VIDEO REPLAY
Jim Ross and Bob Caudle bring out The Four Horsemen and their manager, James J Dillon!!! Ross asks about last weeks final moments and about Clash of the Champions!!!
James Dillon: While I know everyone has something to say, I will start to make a collective challenge on behalf of these fine athletes. Steamboat, Rich, Sting, Funk, what you see here is a collection of some of the greatest athletes in the world, and while individually each of these men are unstoppable, together they are the a force that has never been seen on god’s green earth and will likely never be seen again. And last week you four decided to start a war that you have no chance at winning. Since you four have decided to start the war, we shall finish it. So next week, we challenge the four of you to face the Four Horsemen. 24 hours before Clash of the Champions, here on the Superstation. I think the saying is put up or shut up gentlemen.
Arn Anderson: You see Jim Ross, Bob Caudle, its quite simple. What we have here is a bunch of people who think they are bad but don’t actually know what bad is!! Sting, never in a million years did we ever think you would bring out Terry Funk. The craziest man in wrestling, but Sting you have to know you are playing with a loaded gun!!! Terry Funk has turned on everyone he has ever teamed with. So do you really think you can trust him when push comes to shove? I can tell you one thing you can trust though, at Clash of the Champions you at Terry Funk WILL NOT walk out with the World Tag Team Titles, and you might not walk out at all!!!!
Tully Blanchard: The Funks and The Blanchards go back to the very roots of professional wrestling. Terry Funk you father and my father spilled each others blood in rings all over the US. I have battled you and I have battled your brother. We are no strangers to each other and at Clash of the Champions we are going to write another chapter in the Funks and Blanchard rivalry, THE FINAL CHAPTER!!!!!!
Barry Windham: At Valentine’s Day Massacre, Tommy Rich you tell everyone I barely escaped with the US Title, but the real truth is you barely escaped with your LIFE!!!!! At Clash of the Champions Rich, I am not going to stop until I make sure that you won’t be able to step foot in the ring again. Reap the whirlwind Rich, REAP IT!!
Ric Flair: BY GOD!!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE??? DO Y OU? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! History is being made in front of your very eyes!!!! Sting! Funk! Rich! Steamboat!!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE??? YOU HAVE PISSED OFF THE HORSEMEN!!!!!! Let’s not wait till Clash of the Champions!!! Let’s get it on right here NEXT WEEK!!!!!! AND STEAMBOAT, YEAH I’M TALKING TO YOU PAL!!!!! You wanna be the Man? Well you gotta beat the Man and pal you are looking at THE MAN!!!! You see Steamboat you go around crying about losing your best friend, well look around, THESE ARE MY BEST FRIENDS!!!! YOU KNOW WHY!!! BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL WINNERS!!!! We are the baddest men walking the planet!!!! Steamboat, Clash of the Champions you are going to find out why Diamonds are Forever, AND SO ARE THE HORSEMEN!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Sting and Terry Funk have joined Jim Ross and Bob Caudle, Ross quickly asks them about the challenge laid out by the Four Horsemen!!!!
Sting:OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! ROSSI!!!! Does Arn Anderson think he is telling me something I don’t already know, I know Terry Funk is nuts!!! But I love it, you wanna know why??? CAUSE I’M NUTS TOO!!!!!!!!! And I loooooooooooove LIVING ON THE EDGE!!!! Will Funk betray me? I DON’T KNOW!!! But we are gonna take the Horsemen down first!!! AIN’T THAT RIGHT FUNKER??
Terry Funk: You know why I like this kid Jim Ross, cause he reminds me a little bit of me! He just has a couple screws loose like the old Funker!!!!! I was sitting at home watching Saturday Night Superstars on the Superstation like everyone else does on Saturday night and I saw what was going on and I knew I just had to be a part of it. The Superstation is where I want to be, and everybody out here knows that I'm a wind-millin', pile-drivin', neck-breakin', back-breakin', bear-huggin', wrist-lockin', knee-droppin', toe-holdin', son of a son-of-a-gun. Meaner than a rattlesnake, tougher than shoe leather, and more dangerous than a hollow-eyed scor-pine!!!!! And I am here to FIGHT!!! I ain’t here to wrassle, I’m here to fight as dirty and as low down as I can!!!! You hear me Horsemen?? I don’t know about The Dragon or Tommy Rich, but I’ll tell ya sob’s what, Stinger and I will fight you here on the Superstation next week, then the next night at Clash of the Champions we gonna take those tag titles from you egg sucking, scum sucking dogs!!!
Sting: OWWWWWWWWWWWW!! HORSEMEN YOU LAID OUT A CHALLENGE WELL WE ACCEPT!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
HECTOR GUERRERO DEFEATS CHRIS CHAMPION @7:01 WITH A FROG SPLASH
Guerrero and Champion go at it tooth and nail!!! Champion comes close to getting the win several times but Guerrero keeps finding ways to kick out. Champion is visibly upset after the three count as Guerrero has his hand raised by Nick Patrick in the center of the ring.
Bob Caulde and Jim Ross are then joined by the man who will challenge the Widowmaker Barry Windham at Clash of the Champions, former World Heavyweight Champion “Wildfire” Tommy Rich!!!!!! Ross quickly gets to the point and asks Rich about the challenge laid out by the Horsemen earlier in the program.
Tommy Rich: Ya know I heard Sting and ol’ dirty dog Terry Funk out here out here accepting the challenge fer next week and you are DARN TOOTIN I’M GONNA ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE TOO!!!! WILDFIRE IS ALL FARRED UP AND READY TO RUMBLE!!!! And Barry Windham, a lot of people have come out here and talked about ending ol’ Wildfire’s career AND I’M STILL STANDING!!!!!! At Clash of the Champions I’ll still be standing only I will be holding that US Title above my head!!!! Ya hear me!!!!!! Windham, Horsemen, I’M COMIN FER YA!!!!!
Jim Ross and Bob Caudle talk about Mr. Wrestling II ordering Terrance Taylor to face Brad Armstrong on todays program. We have already heard from Terrance Taylor, lets bring out Brad Armstrong and see what he has to say!!!!
Brad Armstrong: You both have known me and my family for a long time, so you know I do all my talking in the ring. But I will say this, Terrance Taylor, everyone knows what you can do. You are a former United States Champion, a former World Heavyweight Champion, you are the man that ran the American Dream Dusty Rhodes off the Superstation. But for all your accolades you are also a COWARD and a BULLY and you are just NO DAMN GOOD!!!!!!! And tonight this ol boy from Alabama is gonna put you in your place!!!!!!!!
THE STEINER BROTHERS DEFEAT THE DRAGON MASTER & MUSTAFA SAED WHEN RICK HITS A BULLDOG OFF THE TOP ROPE ON SAED WHILE SCOTT HAS SAED ON HIS SHOULDERS AT 4:39
The Steiner Brothers are on fire heading into Clash of the Champions and their Singapore Street Fight with The Slaughterhouse!!!!!! They join Jim Ross and Bob Caudle after the match to talk about Clash of the Champions!!!!
Rick Steiner: RUFF!!!! RUFF!!! RUFF!!!! We are a week away!!! A WEEK AWAY!!! And we can’t wait can we Scotty? We are gonna bite ‘em!!! We are gonna claw ‘em!!! We are gonna rip them apart!!!!! RUFF!!! RUFF!!!!! RUFF!!! TELL ‘EM SCOTTY!!!!

Jim Ross and Bob Caudle have been joined by the United States Tag Team Champions, The Slaughterhouse and manager Gary Hart!!
Gary Hart: The Steiner Brothers really have an overblown sense of self-worth!!!! Do the two of you IDIOTS think you are going to walk into a match MADE for these two men and walk out the winners? You will be lucky if you walk out at all!!!!!!! Clash of the Champions will be the end of the Steiner Brothers and they lasted way too long!!!!
Kevin Sullivan: The Mad Dog and I are ready. We are read to sacrifice you to the gods of old Steiner Brothers!!!

Armageddon is coming for the Steiner Brothers!!!!! Be prepared, but you can never be prepared!!! DOOM IS UPON YOU AT CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS!!! AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
RICKY “THE DRAGON” STEAMBOAT DEFEATS RIKKI NELSON WITH A CROSSBODY OFF THE TOP ROPE @2:44 IN A DOMINATING FASHION!!!
The former World Champion and the man who hopes to take the title back from Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions then joins Bob Caudle and Jim Ross!!! Ross says Rich, Sting and Funk are in for next week, how about the Dragon!!!
Ricky Steamboat: Jim Ross, Bob Caudle, I heard what the Horsemen had to say and before I address my former friend Ric Flair, let me say this. YES!!!! YES I will team with Sting, Terry Funk and Tommy Rich to battle the Horsemen RIGHT HERE ON THE SUPERSTATION NEXT WEEK!!!!!
Now, I want to speak directly to the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair!!! Flair at Clash of the Champions I am not only coming to take the World Heavyweight Title back, I am coming to get my revenge. Flair, you turned your back on me, you turned your back on these great fans and you says you did it because that’s what winners do?
Let me tell you about winners. Winners are the people who get up each and every day, go to a back breaking dead end job because that’s what they have to do for their families!! Winners are the people who do anything they have to in order to send their kids to the best schools, to put food on the table and who FIGHT every day to make this world a better place than it was before they got here. Winners are the people who day in and day out BUST THEIR BUTTS every single day and do so while still keeping their HONOR, while keeping their SELF RESPECT!!!! You Ric Flair? You have NO HONOR, you have NO SELF RESPECT, you have NOTHING but the World Heavyweight Title and a bunch of SOULLESS JACKALS following you around while you all try and fill the holes in your soul by telling each other how great you are.
Well Ric Flair, I am a man of Honor, but I will do what I have to do at Clash of the Champions to take the only thing that means anything to you away, that World Heavyweight Title! And when you are sitting in that locker room without the ten pounds of gold on your lap, where will the rest of the Horsemen be? Will they be around you or will they run from you? When you have NOTHING will they stand by your side or will they do what jackals do and leave you behind.
When I defeated Terrance Taylor for the World Heavyweight Title I did it because it was my life long dream to become the World Champion, I did it to avenge Dusty Rhodes, I did it because it was I had to do. This time I am coming to take the World Title for a second time but this time I am doing it the fans who break their backs doing things the right way every day, I am doing it for the man who wonders where the money to put food on the table is going to come from but doesn’t give up, and I am doing it for me. Not because I want to fulfill a life long dream, not because I have to be Champion, no I am doing it because after what you have done to me, to my family and to all these fans I want take my ten pounds of flesh for your sins!!!! Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions I will become the World Heavyweight Champion for a second time!!!!!!
BRAD ARMSTRONG DEFEATS TERRANCE TAYLOR W/MR. JONES VIA DQ @1129 WHEN MR. JONES JUMPS IN THE RING BEFORE ARMSTRONG CAN MAKE THE COVER AFTER A SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!!!!!
Armstrong and Taylor went at in a a back and forth grueling battle, both kept getting near falls on the other and Ross and Caudle both pointed up multiple times that Armstrong showed he was on Taylor’s level no matter what Taylor has been claiming!!!! Finally Armstrong hit a Side Russian Legsweep and went for the cover but Jones attacked the referee before the three count!!! Jones and Taylor then put the beat down on Armsrtong until
A YOUNG BLONDE MAN JUMPS OUT OF THE CROWD AND INTO THE RING!!! THE YOUNG MAN FIGHTS TAYLOR AND JONES UNTIL ARMSTRONG GETS TO HIS FEET AND THEN THE TWO MEN CLEAR THE RING!!! ARMSTRONG AND THE YOUNG MAN HUG IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AS ROSS SAYS WE ARE OUT OF TIME!!!!!!
