What he had in store next for our friend with the twisted head was far more malicious… far more insipid… and far more asinine. This did NOT sit well with the Horseman. As the man looks on helplessly and “frightened,” The Scorpion takes a MAGIC BOX out of his sac of tricks and places it on the man’s head. July: The NWA was formed as a way of uniting the dozens upon dozens of smaller regional territories and creating a single touring World Champion that each territory would recognize. That guy!!!!!!! Clash of the Champions X – “Texas Shootout”, Quick Stats: Jerry Saggs, Master Blaster Blade, Master Blaster Steel, "Dangerous" Dan The match started with Zangiev applying a back stretching hold on Johnson. 1/29/1990 Kent Carlson vs.
From his two near ***** matches with Lex Luger to begin the year, to his outstanding and unselfish loss to Sting at the Great American Bash, to his epic tag team matches against Doom, to his making the ultimate sacrifice for the company in which he worked by agreeing to be humiliated at Starrcade, Ric Flair HELD the company high in the air, refusing to let the promotion that he loved suffer.
Sting was still selling the injuries from the MASSIVE beatdown he received earlier in the evening, but he still managed to come sprinting towards the ring to gain a measure of revenge and build some momentum heading into his big shot at Flair’s title at WrestleWar.
Sting was recruited into the Horseman to put the group over the top on the babyface scale.
In honor of O'Connor, Starrcade held the Pat O'Connor Memorial International Cup Tag Team Tournament, a single-elimination tournament between eight tag teams, each representing a different country. Quick Summary: Once again, the only thing saving this show was a couple of amazing tag matches. The Destruction Crew WT Jones vs. Sgt. A VERY cool visual and an apt ending to the two year pursuit of the title by Sting.
Windham pinned Reed with an inside cradle as Simmons pinned Anderson. While in theory the tournament was a good idea, it really doesn’t make sense to bring in a dozens of foreign stars and job them out to eachother (and ultimately the US) just to add credibility to a tag team that was already the most credible tag team in the WORLD at that point (the Steiner Brothers). Juicer, Terry Taylor, J.W. The losers: Ric Flair, The Horsemen’s credibility, and every single person watching at home. Rich and Garvin fought as Marley was about to attack Morton's knee from the top turnbuckle. Jim Herd was positioned as the top man in WCW, despite knowing very little about the wrestling industry.
Morton then pinned Garvin with a roll-up to win the match.
The Scorpion has something FAR more insidious up his sleeve.
Zangiev performed a belly to belly suplex, dropping Johnson on his head, but Johnson fought back with a double chop. (1999 - 2001) (1988 - 1998) WCW Thunder WCW Saturday Night WCW Monday NITRO (1999 - 2001) WCW Monday NITRO (1995 - 1998) [1][4], On August 16, Pat O'Connor died.

Mike Rotundo, Sting, "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin, "The All-American" Ron I….. The match was announced as No-DQ to insure a definite, fair winner. The undercard of Capital Combat had some STUNNING tag team action, showcasing just how strong WCW’s tag division was at this point in time. That’s pretty old, if I may say so myself.
The tragically mediocre Pat O’ Conner Memorial International Tag Team Tournament, featuring tag teams from the U.S. (Steiners), Africa, Mexico (Konnan and Rey Misterio Sr.), England (Norman Smiley and Chris Adams), Japan (Great Muta and Mr. Saito), New Zealand (Rip Morgan and Jack Victory), Canada, and the USSR. The crowd was PISSED yet again, and we basically saw the feud end here without a blowoff of any sort. The first was between the team of Konan and Rey Misterio and the Steiner Brothers.
I’m also looking for suggestions for future columns, so if you’ve got a particular year and promotion you’d like to see covered, drop me an email

The Four Horseman” could win for Event of the Year, but aside from the asinine movie tie-ins, this show was INCREDIBLE. The show did a pretty strong buyrate as well, being ordered by over a quarter of a million households in a time when PPV was just a burgeoning experiment. On his second attempt to enter the cage, Sting fell from the cage when Security was trying to pull him down.

Luckily, things turned out OK though, as the crowd was still so incredibly pissed at the Horseman that they took to cheering Gary Hart’s team like they were 1986’s Hulk Hogan.
The curtain was drawn upwards, rapid movement was seen behind the curtain, as if to hint that something MAGICAL was going on, and then the curtain dropped, revealing a TIGER in the place of the man. A quick painless look at Clash XI: Clash of the Champions XI – “Coastal Crush”, Quick Stats:

Sting removed The Black Scorpion's mask, but another was underneath it. What kind of “rub” has Buddy Landell ever given to ANYONE ? Halloween Havoc was this PPV.
