Taped 4/11/94 at Center Stage in Atlanta, GA to air at 6:05 PM on 4/13/94 on Superstation TBS
Announcers: Tony Schiavone, Jesse Ventura, & Larry Zybysko
Interviewer: Gene Okerlund
Ring Announcer: Gary Michael Capetta
TONY: Welcome to another great program here on the Super Station! Guys, we’re going to start out with a match that would be a main event at any arena in the world! Gene Okerlund is standing by with a man who will be involved in that match!
GENE: I’m joined by “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff! Last week, you took on Lex Lugar in an impromptu match and nothing was settled, quite frankly! Tonight, contracts are signed and you’ll face “the Total Package” again, on this program!
ORNDORFF: Listen, Lugar, I spent a lot of money bringing you in here to help me against Flair and Anderson! You didn’t hold up your end of the bargain and, then, you blamed me for your shortcomings! Listen, Lugar, I brought you into WCW and now, I’m running you out of here!
GENE: Lex Lugar is waiting for you up in the ring!
Paul “Mr. Wonderful” Orndorff vs. “The Total Package” Lex Lugar: Just like last week, there’s little technique or finesse and these two slug away at each other! The fans seem at a loss about who to cheer for here. It looks good for Orndorff as he gets Lugar in position for the piledriver! The bell rings! The time limit has expired and we have a draw! Orndorff goes for a piledriver regardless! NO! Lugar backdrops out of it! Lugar has rolled out of the ring! Orndorff is back on his feet, yelling at Lex! I have a feeling that we haven’t seen the last of these two!
RESULT: DRAW

Rick & Scott Steiner, the UK Express, & Ahmed Johnson vs. Lord Steven Regal, Squire David Taylor, Avalanche, & Mean Mike Enos (w/Colonel Robert Parker): an action packed ten man tag. Everybody gets a chance to shine here, but Ahmed becomes the MVP when he hits a Pearl River Plunge on Enos and gets the 1-2-3 for his team!
WINNERS: AHMED JOHNSON, THE UK EXPRESS, RICK & SCOTT STEINER
GENE: Colonel Robert Parker, has joined me. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit, sir?
PARKER: As you know, Mean Gene, I am in the process of expanding my Stud Stable! I’m looking ahead to the future! And I do believe that I have just seen the future! I would like to speak to this young man, Ahmed Johnson!
Ahmed joins Gene and the Colonel!
PARKER: Young man, I am prepared to make you a monetary proposition that you won’t believe-more money than you can imagine! Join the Stud Stable, son, and you’ll go straight to the top in WCW!
AHMED: Yeah, I know all about bloodsucking leeches like you! That guy that I just pinned is on your payroll and you’ve forgotten all about him! As soon as I dropped a match, you’d drop me like a bad habit, too! I wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire, Foghorn Leghorn!
PARKER: You’ll rue the day that you said “no” to the colonel, son! You go ahead and walk back to your dressing room! My men are up next! You get yourself in front of a monitor and you’ll see what the Stud Stable is all about!
April 30 at 8:05 PM, Live on the Superstation!

GENE: I want to welcome my longtime, close personal friend and the Commissioner of World Championship Wrestling, Nick Bockwinkel! Nick, Clash of the Champions is coming up on April 30th, right here on the SuperStation, originating from Dayton, Ohio. I’m sure that you have something great planned for our fans around the world!
BOCKWINKEL: No doubt about it, Gene! You just saw a new team debut here and another new tag team is up next. Last week, you heard the Steiners and the Road Warriors challenge the nasty Boys and the Hardliners to an 8 man tag team match. I am pleased to announce that the match will take place at the Clash! As you know, tag team wrestling is very near and dear to my heart…
GENE: The great team you had with Ray “the Crippler” Stevens…
BOCKWINKEL: I have never been involved in an 8 man tag team match! I am looking forward to seeing that! Also, the World Heavyweight Title and World TV Title will be defended that night! More on that later!
GENE: Now, it’s time for another new tag team to make its debut!
Mosh and Thrasher are here in WCW!
The Headbangers vs. Ray Odyssey & Larry Winters: Odyssey and Winters give it all they have, but Mosh & Thrasher make a successful debut. Mosh pins Winters after the Headbangers hit the Stage Dive.
WINNERS: THE HEADBANGERS
GENE: An impressive debut for the Headbangers here on the SuperStation, ladies and gentlemen! I am joined at this time by a man who claims to rule the world! He is Sid Vicious! Sid, you didn’t leave SuperBrawl as World Champions, but I’m sure that you are still regarded as a top contender! What can you tell us about your future plans?
SID: Mean Gene, my future plans are total domination of World Championship Wrestling! If you could read my mind, it would blow your mind! I have plans that will rock the world! As far as SuperBrawl goes, anybody who saw that match knows that the Stinger has to be the luckiest man alive! I beat him all over that ring in Detroit! I took care of Vader! I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that I am the most awesome wrestler in the universe!
VADER AND HARLEY RACE ARE HERE!
RACE: Listen to me, punk! All you accomplished at SuperBrawl was costing my man, Vader his World Championship! We’ll get that belt back from Sting soon enough, but before we do, we’re gonna take care of you, Sid! If you have the guts, step into the ring with Vader at the upcoming Clash! We’ll obliterate you and then, we’ll go get the title back!
SID: Sounds good to me! Vader, I’ll take you on here, there, or anywhere! I’ll atke both of you jerks on!
Nick Bockwinkel comes out with several wrestlers and officials to separate these two behemoths!
BOCKWINKEL: Not here and now! We’ll sign the match for the Clash! Besiedes that, Vader, you have a match already scheduled!
Race leads Vader to the ring for our next match!
Vader (w/Harley Race) vs. Robbie Eagle: The former World Champion destroys young Eagle! Vader scores the pin after hitting a moonsault.
WINNER: VADER

GENE: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s always a highlight of the evening when I can visit with “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair and “Double A” Arn Anderson!
FLAIR: MEEEEEEEEAN GENE! WOOOOOOOOOO!
GENE: Thank you, sir!
FLAIR: You are looking at two men who are destined for greatness! Two men who just don’t look right without gold around our waists! We had a conference with Commissioner Bockwinkel earlier today here in Atlanta. On April 30th in Dayton, on the Clash of the Champions, Slick Ric will walk that aisle once again! Stinger, you are the man! I’ve been saying for almost 20 years that to be the man you have to beat the man! Earlier today, the Commissioner gave me the opportunity to beat the man and once again be your World Heavyweight Champion! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sting, you better have two coats of paint because you’re gonna be mine all night long! WOOOOOOO!
GENE: That will be an awesome match!
ARN: It certainly will, Mean Gene! Naitch ain’t the only one with a title shot! Lord Steven Regal, a few weeks ago, I pinned you here on TBS! You weren’t a champion then, but since then, you beat Johnny B. Badd and took that World TV belt! That’s a title that I held before! Most experts agree that I was the greatest World TV Champion of all time! For once, the experts are right! I’m taking that belt back at the Clash!
GENE: has this match been signed! Yeah, it’s official, Gene!
FLAIR: Invite all your friends over! Order a keg of beer! Watch the Nature Boy and the Enforcer take WCW to school! We’re gonna be wearing gold at the end of the night! And whether you like it or not, you’d better learn to love it! WOOOOOOO!
GENE: HUGE news about the Clash! Kevin Sullivan takes on Meng when we return!!!
COMMERCIAL
Meng (w/Colonel Robert Parker) vs. Kevin Sullivan: Meng stands stoically in the ring at Center Stage with Parker by his side. There’s a roar from the crowd as Kevin Sullivan charges into the ring and attacks Meng! This is a wild brawl that goes all over the building! Parker attempts to interfere and Sullivan counters by hitting Meng withy anything that isn’t nailed down! The action finally returns to the ring and Meng applies the Tongan Death grip! Sullivan is in the ropes and referee Randy Anderson attempts to force a break! Meng refuses to release this deadly hold! Sullivan is in in big trouble as the ref calls for the bell! We have a disqualification! Sullivan is in serious trouble!
TAZMANIAC HITS THE RING! Taz pulls Meng off of Sullivan and hits a T Bone tazplaex on the Tongan warrior! Parker is waving somebody into the ring! Here comes Nailz! The Barbarian! Bunkhouse Buck! Tazmaniac fights valiantly against the Stud Stable, but the odds are against him!
AHMED JOHNSON HITS THE RING! Ahmed is swinging a chair! In the end, Johnson and the Tazmaniac are standing tall! What a scene!
COMMERCIAL
TONY: Next week, we’ll have even more information about the Clash of the Champions! In an incredible tag team match, Ricky “the Dragon” Steamboat will team with Ahmed Johnson to take on Ravishing Rick Rude and the Barbarian! Lex Lugar will meet Paul Orndorff in another rematch! Maybe, they’ll settle their differences next week! Ric Flair will take on a man who has been really impressive recently, Steve Blackman!
ZYBYSKO: I think this will be Flair’s first single match since he returned to active competition. I’ll be interested in seeing that match and I’ll bet the Stinger will be watching, too!
VENTURA: You’re burying the lede, Zybysko! I can’t wait to see Rick Rude and the Barbarian take care of the Dragon and Ahmed Johnson!
TONY: I think that Steamboat and Johnson are capable of taking care of themselves, Jesse! We’ll see you next week, wrestling fans!
