The man called Sting rocks the house as he pins Lobo Lee in under two minutes after a pair of Stinger splashes.
Vader battles Butch Reed, who the announce team introduce as a newcomer(despite the fact that he has been competing in WCW under a mask as Doom for quite a while). This match looks like something from the glory days of Mid South until the Horsemen hit the ring and, along with Reed, deliver a vicious beatdown to Vader! Sting, Jake Roberts, and Ricky Steamboat hit the ring with chairs in hand to make the save. Once again, Vader refuses to shake hands with the faces. Zybysko calls him “a man without a country”.
In a backstage segment, Bam Bam Bigelow visits Vader in his dressing room. Bam Bam reminds Vader how their tag team dominated Japan. Bam Bam says that nobody, not even Vader can handle the Four Horsemen on his own and offers to re-form their team. The two monsters shake hands, but it seems very tenative.
Team Extreme team up with their mentor, Roddy Piper to beat the Jynx Brothers & Cowboy Bob Orton. Tommy Dreamer pins Wildo Jynx after he and Scott Riggs hit a double DDT on the maksed man. During the match, the announce team say that Roddy will bring Piper’s Pit to WCW, for the first time ever, here tonight!
Public Enemy gets disqualified against Duane Gill & Bart Sawyer in their WCW debut as the bring a table into the ring and put Sawyer through it! Afterwards, they attempt to do the same to Gill, but Team Extreme hits the ring and they brawl all over Center Stage!
Team Extreme talks to Mean Gene afterwards. Tommy and Scotty say that they know that Public Enemy comes from the hood, but that doesn’t intimidate them! If they wanna use tables, chairs, or any other weapon, Team Extreme is down with it!
Ric Flair & Arn Anderson (w/Ole Anderson) defeat Horace Boulder & Steve Blackman as Double A pins Boulder after a spinebuster.
Next, Piper’s Pit comes to WCW!!! Piper says that he’s gonna start at the top! The main man in World Championship Wrestling, the Commissioner….NICK BOCKWINKEL!!! Piper puts over Nick as one of the all time greats and says he understands the Commissioner has some big announcements! Bockwinkel calls out the Horsemen because much of what he has to say involves them! The Horsemen come out to the Pit! Bockwinkel starts out by saying that next week, here on WCW Saturday Night, Ric Flair and Arn Anderson have been challenged to a match against Vader & Bam Bam Bigelow! Flair says that he’s already proven that he can beat Vader! With Double A on his side, Bigelow won’t make much difference! Challenge accepted! Next, the Commissioner announces that WCW’s next PPV will be Fall Brawl, live from the Charlotte Coliseum, on September 29th! The Horsemen will be involved in the Main Event, the return of WAR GAMES!!! Bockwinkel introduces their opponents: STING! THE STEINER BROTHERS! RICKY “THE DRAGON” STEAMBOAT! JAKE “THE SNAKE” ROBERTS!
Ole Anderson protests the Horsemen being in a 5 against 4 handicap match! Bockwinkel says there will be no handicap match-since Ole enjoys getting physically involved in matches. He’ll be a participant in WAR GAMES!!! Ole is visibly upset by this development!
Bockwinkel quickly runs through the rules for War Games. This year, there will be one change from previous War Games matches: Instead of a coin flip determining which teams gets the one man advantage, there will be a “status match” between a representative of each team. The winner earns the advantage for his team! Sting says that his team voted that Ricky Steamboat would be their representative in the match! Arn Anderson says he will represent the Horsemen if Steamboat has the guts to put up “my TV Title”. Steamboat agrees!
Piper tells the fans they can’t afford to miss Fall Brawl!
Rick Rude (w/Sherri Martel ) defeats El Lobo with the neckbreaker. In a postmatch interview, Rude claims that Jake Roberts is avoiding giving him a rematch for the US Title. He says Jake even signed up for War games to avoid him!
Jake Roberts, the new US Champion, pins Squire David Taylor in a very competitive match via pinfall after the DDT.
Ricky Steamboat makes a successful defense of his WCW TV Title against Moondog Spot. He pins the wildman with a high cross body. Arn Anderson shows up at ringside, making the belt around the waist and cutthroat gestures.
Our next match is a six man tag. Ahmed Johnson, Billy Jack Haynes, and Tazmaniac enter first. Their opponents, Wrath and the Faces of Fear enter last. The theme from “the Omen” plays and a graphic that reads CARNIVAL OF SOULS appears on the video wall. The heels take the win as Tazmaniac turns on his partners and costs them the match. Afterwards, Mean Gene interviews the winners and Taz makes some rather cryptic comment about hearing the voice of the master and joining the carnival.
The Road Warriors(w/Paul Ellering) defeat Lord Zoltan & Dr. Death after nailing Dr. Death with the Doomsday Device.

Piper warns them that the guys they are dealing with aren’t a bunch of chumps!
Flair and Anderson, accompanied by Ole, take on Vader & Bam Bam Bigelow. Vader and Bam Bam are an awesome team and the Horsemen are on the defensive from the opening bell.

Vader and bam bam leave the ring, put Ole on their shoulders and drive him headfirst into the ring post several times! Then, they drop Ole onto the floor like a bad habit!

Team Extreme’s mentor, Roddy Piper finally gets his guys to return to the locker room. Jesse says we probably ain’t seen the last of this!
Wrath (w/Tazmaniac) takes on Ahmed Johnson. During intros, Gary Capetta Introduces Wrath and Taz as being from ”the Carnival of Souls”. Before the match starts, Ahmed gets on the mic and asks Taz for an explanation for turning on Johnson and Billy Jack Haynes last week. Taz says, “You wouldn’t understand!” Regardless, in a real banger, Wrath and Ahmed fight to a double countout.

Arn says that Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow gave Ole a concussion and two compressed vertebrae in his neck last week.
