World Class Wrestling #6

Location: Dallas, Texas





The show opens up with the closing moments of the IWA World title Finals......


Angle falls and Hogan hits the ropes .... BIG LEG DROP!!!!  Hogan doesn’t cover, and instead he uses the 24 inch pythons to lock on the Anaconda Vice .... THE PYTHON CLUTCH!!!!  Hogan squeezes as Angle fights to get to the ropes .... but the more he fights the more Angle starts to fade .... he’s out .... the ref checks the hand .... it drops once ... twice ... THREE TIMES!!!!  





Jim Ross: "Hello.once again wrestling fans and welcome to this weeks edition of World Class Wrestling! You seen at the top of the show, that we do indeed have our first IWA World champion..... in the one and only Hulk Hogan! Congratulations go out to the Hulkster on winning a phenomenal tournament. And now for us, we are two weeks away from the World Class Wrestling chapter of The Parade of Champions and to say that things are getting hot is an understatement. We are going to.......:


Ross is interrupted by the appearance of "The Machine" Brian Cage!




Brian Cage: "Pardon my interruption JR! No disrespect intended. But speaking of disrespect..... I'm talking to you Jeff Cobb! You want to jump me when my backs turned? Bad business decision my man! Because you just pissed off one angry Machine! You think your big and bad? Be a man..... come out here and prove it!"


It doesnt take long for Cobb to make his way out! And once he approaches ringside, it doesnt take long for Cage to charge at him...... AND THE FIGHT IS ON! These two beasts just go to fist city, tearing into each other until many security members rush out to get them seperated.


Jim Ross: "BY GAWD FANS.....THAT WAS A SLOBBERKNOCKER IF IVE EVER SAW ONE! THESE TWO GUYS ARE COLLION BOUND!"




***COMMERCIAL BREAK***




Match One: Fenix vs Owen Hart

They fight over the wristlock and Fenix works the arm, as Jim Ross talks about this being Owen's World Class debut, but Owen takes him down and drops a knee on the elbow. Monkey flip out of the corner, but Fenix lands on his feet and goes back to the arm again. He takes Owen down with a rana and clotheslines him to the floor, but Owen evades a dive. However, he makes the classic heel error of pointing to his brain to indicate how smart that he is, at which point Fenix baseball slides him. Fenix tries another dive, but Owen catches him with a powerslam on the floor, and a missile dropkick gets two as Owen takes over. Gut wrench gets two. Owen with the chinlock and do a nice little sequence where they trade rollups off a victory roll, and Fenix gets a crossbody out of the corner for two. Owen puts him down with the Owenzuigiri and goes up, but Fenix brings him down with an electric chair into a facebuster. Fenix with a flapjack and neckbreaker for two. DDT gets two. Owen with a backdrop suplex, but Fenix lands on his feet and gets a northern lights suplex for two. Owen with a german suplex for two. He misses a blind charge and Fenix takes him to the top rope, but Owen blocks a superplex and jumps down for the Sharpshooter. Fenix reverses to a cradle for two off that. Fenix with the leg lariat, but out of the crowd comes Bam Bam Bigelow and Vader and Fenix is DUMBFOUNDED, as Owen rolls Fenix up for the pin! As the replay is being shown, "The Macho Man" Randy Savage joins Gene Okerlund in the interview area......



Gene Okerlund: "Wrestling fans, I'm just as confused as Fenix is here, as to why Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow was out here. We will have to watch that scenario as it plays out in the future. But right before we came back from break I was informed by David Crockett that he just signed Brian Cage vs Jeff Cobb for the Parade of Champions on August 18th!"


Owen Hart is still in the ring, leaning on the ropes, watching Okerlund.


Gene Okerlund: "And speaking of Parade of Champions, how about the performance of this man, Randy Savage, against Brock Lesnar in the IWA tournament?"


Savage joins Okerlund, and his left arm is heavily taped from the match with Lesnar. Owen is still in the ring, watching on.

Gene Okerlund: "Randy Savage, nobody has ever doubted your toughness or savy, but after submitting in the first time ever in your career to Brock Lesnar, we can see days later that the arm is still heavily bandaged. Can you update us Sir?"


Owen jumps out of the ring looking on, with his hands on his hips, looking on aggravated.



Randy Savage: "Mean Gene...... I can promise you that......"


Owen now joins Savage and Okerlund in the interview area.




Owen Hart: "ENOUGH! Are you KIDDING me right now Okerlund? The IWA hasn't even been around 2 months yet and the politics are real! In the past month I've been bounced from company to company in these ridiculous trades and cuts. I thought I had a square chance in Chicago. But the minute they realized I was a true talent and would overshadow the likes of Dusty Rhodes or Jerry Lawler, they cut me loose. Then I finally get my contract here..... and just defeated one of the best wrestlers in the entire world in Fenix, and all you wanna do is talk to a guy who couldn't even get out of the first round of the IWA World title tournament?"

Randy Savage: "Hold it right there brother....if I don't know better, my ears would like to convince me that your disrespecting "The Macho Man" Randy Savage brother?"

Owen Hart: "I'm not your brother! My Brothers come from the greatest family in wrestling! And I'm not going to sit back any longer for the red carpet to be rolled out for guys like you. As a matter of fact.....I should just kick your ass right now. But I'm going to give you time to heal up..... but I challenge you to a match at Parade of Champions!"

Randy Savage: "Brother.....all you had to do was ask......OHHHHH YEAAAA!!"


Savage turns to walk away and Owen pushes Okerlund to out of the way then grabs a chair..... and nails Savage in the back with it!

Owen Hart: "I SAID IM NOT YOUR BROTHER!!"

Owen takes the end of the chair and drives it into the back of Savages leg repeatedly. He then grabs Savages legs and then applies the Sharpshooter! Savage is in obvious pain and cant escape. Security rushes out and Owen releases the hold.

Owen Hart: "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! AND ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE IN PRO WRESTLING! LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU SAVAGE! SEE YOU AT PARADE OF CHAMPIONS."



***COMMERCIAL BREAK***





Match Two: David Von Erich w/Kerry vs Terry Gordy

Gordy makes a big stink to start about allowing Kerry at ringside. The match hardly gets out of first gear, but gets interesting once Michael Hayes appears in the crowd. He just sort of observes. Once Kerry spots Hayes, he slowly loosens the belt on his robe, and starts to get madder every second. As Hayes passes under the retaining rope, Von Erich threatens him with the Claw and begins to chase him around the ring. He even chases Hayes in and out of the ring until finally Hayes gets away and leaves through the crowd. With all the attention turned on Hayes and Kerry, Gordy nails David from behind and quickly hits the PILEDRIVER for the win. Kerry rushes in the ring as The Birds take their leave and Kerry checks on his brother. Hayes grabs the housemic......





Michael Hayes: "I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THE VON ERICHS! VON ERICHS THIS.... VON ERICHS THAT! WE COULDNT EVEN CONCENTRATE ON WINNING THE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES BECAUSE OF IT. I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUDDY AND BAM BAM..... BUT IM TIRED OF BEATING THE VON ERICHS UP. BUT ....I WILL MAKE ONE EXCEPTION. LETS HAVE ONE MORE MATCH AT PARADE OF CHAMPIONS...... THE PERSON WHO TAKES THE PINFALL HAS TO LEAVE WORLD CLASS FOREVER!"



***COMMERCIAL BREAK***





Match Three: Barry Horowitz vs Lance Archer

Archer charges from the backstage area and just attacks Horowitz. The ref calls for the bell. Archer dominated with a series of kicks and strikes. Horowitz tried to come back after escaping a chokeslam but Archer hit a series of kicks to the ribs and face as Jim Cornette makes his way to ringside.

Archer continues to brutalize Horowitz, then he sees Cornette at ringside. Archer hit Blackout. He had Horowitz pinned but pulled him up after a two count.  Archer then used the EBD Claw to pin Horowitz as the ref hands Archer his World Class title.



 Gene Okerlund: "OHHHH MY..... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THE THINGS THAT LANCE ARCHER JUST DID TO THAT MAN IS ILLEGAL IN 17 STATES! Jim Cornette.....with Parade of Champions just weeks away, who can we expect to see your man defend that heavyweight title against?"        




 Jim Cornette: "Like it matters Mean Gene.....no matter who it will be the result will be the same. I'm having to call every knucklehead in the world to try and get a match..... everyone is afraid of the destruction this man brings to the table!"        


Archer gets out of the ring and begins to walk the isle to the dressing room...... then stops!

Jim Cornette: "But my Momma is putting her pocketbook to work and offering a substantial payday to anyone who wants to try and defeat my champion."      

Archer walks to ringside with Cornette and Okerlund.




 Lance Archer: "We need to talk! Actually....scratch that! I'm going to talk.... and your going to listen! First off..... I dont give a damned about your momma's money. Second..... you
....ARE NOT...... my manager..... and third.... im tired of guys like you and Dangerously trying to ride my coat tails.....if you EVER get in arms distance of me again, I'm going to RIP your head off and show everyone what you had for lunch! The Murderhawk..... stands alone!"    

Archer stares at a shocked Cornette, then turns to leave, when Cornette grabs him by the arm. Archer stops....and looks down at Cornettes hand on him.....


Jim Cornette: "You listen to me! Nobody insults James E. Cornette like that! You belong to......"

Archer spins around and grabs Cornette by the throat! Cornette goes buts trying to get away. Archer lifts Cirnette in the air by his throat...... and then he gets jumped from behind by The Midnight Express. Archer let's go of Cornette as Lane and Eaton poind away at Archer.... to mo avail..... Archer nails Eaton with a clothesline. Then he picks Lane up and literally throws him into the first couple if rows of people ringside. Cornette grabs his tennis racket and whacks Archer in the back! It doesnt even phase Archer! Archer spins around and the look on Cornettes face says he just shit his pants! Cornette wisely hauls ass to the dressing room area as Archer watches on!


Jim Ross: "BY GAWD FANS..... BUSINESS JUST PICKED UP! Lance Archer has made a stand! Did you see the way he just went through two men in The Midnight Express? Stan Lane still hasn't landed! You couldnt pay me to be in Jim Cornettes shoes right now!"


The cameras pan backstage where we see the long black limo pulling inside. The doors open...... its THE HORSEMEN!!




***COMMERCIAL BREAK***




Match Four: Sting & Lex Luger vs The Jive Tones

Luger runs over Pez and does so for for awhile. Off to Sting who is as over as free beer. Sting escapes the corner but Conway takes him down by the arm. The cameras pan to The Horsemen watching on to the match.

Sting gets beaten down in the Tones corner and Ross says don’t bother hitting Pez in the face because he won’t care. He gets knocked to the floor and Conway adds a chair to the back of Sting. Back in and Sting fires off a quick Stinger Splash to break things up. Everything breaks down and Sting reverses a slam by Whatley into a small package for the win.




***COMMERCIAL BREAK***





Main Event: Brian Pillman vs Jushin Liger (Qualifying Match for POC Cruiser title Ladder Match)

Pillman and Liger exchange arm holds to start. Liger whips Pillman and eats a shoulder tackle. A leapfrog and a duck end in a double dropkick from both of them. The crowd cheers and applauds as Pillman hits a drop toehold into a grounded armbar. Liger reaches the turnbuckle and the armlock is broken. He fights back with forearms and whips Pillman into the opposite corner, but Pillman grabs the ropes and hits a picture-perfect headscissors takedown to counter a charging Liger. A dropkick sends Liger out of the ring and Pillman hits a baseball slide to send Liger into the barricade.

Pillman ascends the top rope, but the he stalls as he sees the Horsemen approaching rimgside. Liger re-enters the ring, hits a single leg takedown and starts working a leg, but Pillman reverses his way out of it. Pillman whips Liger into a corner but Liger escapes, runs to the opposite corner and hits a perfect moonsault press from the top rope onto Pillman for a quick two-count. Now it’s Liger’s turn to dropkick Pillman out of the ring and Liger taunts Pillman with some acrobatics in the ring. The crowd is FIRMLY in Liger’s corner here as Jim Ross reminds the TV audience that so far in World Class, Pillman hasn't won a match.

Pillman locks in a sitting abdominal stretch to ground Liger and then transitions into a figure-4 neck lock. Liger wrestles his way out of that and attempts the Romero special but Pillman reaches the ropes. Liger tries the Romero special again after a drop toehold, but Pillman reaches the ropes again. Shoulder tackles to Pillman’s gut by Liger in one corner followed by a running dropkick into another corner.

Liger whips Pillman and attempts a palm strike, but Pillman ducks and nails a perfect crucifix pin for another two-count. Pillman whips Liger, but Liger rolls over his back and tries a sunset victory roll for another two-count. Belly-to-back suplex by Pillman gets a 2.5-count. He whips Liger again but Liger dodges a corner charge, causing Pillman to hit the turnbuckle knees-first. Liger immediately starts targeting the legs, turning Pillman’s mistake against him with kicks, wrenches and a knee breaker. Figure-4 leglock by Liger! In the middle of the ring. And he can’t stay on his back because he risks getting pinned. The crowd is willing Pillman on, cheering and whistling wildly. Classic strong-style slap fight with the leglock still cinched in. Pillman refuses to tap as the crowd starts chanting ‘PILLMAN!" He manages to roll over, reversing the leglock, but both men reach the ropes. The cameras show The Horsemen huddling, conversing about the match.

Pillman elbows Liger away but Liger kicks the knee again and locks in a brutal-looking modified torture crab. But Pillman refuses to give up and eventually gets up and hops on one leg and hits a huge enziguiri out of nowhere. Liger gets up first again and kicks the knee once more He whips Pillman and attempts his tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, but Pillman somehow reverses that into a headscissors that sends Liger flying.

Pillman charges, but Liger ducks and sends him flying over the top rope to the floor. Liger then climbs the top turnbuckle and hits a diving senton off the top rope onto Pillman on the floor below! Liger recovers in the ring and tries to suplex Pillman over the rope, but Pillman smashes Liger’s face into the turnbuckle. Springboard clothesline by Pillman! Pillman drags Liger to the ropes and suplexes him over the top rope to the floor. Now Pillman returns the favor from earlier and hits a diving crossbody onto Liger on the floor.

Pillman places Liger against the steel barricade and goes back on the apron and charges, but Liger moves out of the way at the last second. Pillman eats the steel!! Liger tosses Pillman back into the ring and attempts a diving splash, but Pillman dropkicks him in midair. Pillman tries a dropkick from the top rope, but this time Liger catches him and they end up double dropkicking each other. Both men are down.

The Horsemen move closer to the ring as JR and Okerlund question their motives.

Liger places Pillman on the top rope and tries a superplex, but Pillman reverses that and gourdbusters Liger down to the mat. Diving crossbody from the top rope by Pillman. The ref counts one…two…thr.....no, Liger kicks out at 2!! Pillman whips Liger again and prepares for a back body drop, but Liger counters into a kneeling powerbomb out of nowhere, 1.....2.......3!! Liger advances to the ladder match at POC.

Pillman pounds the mat in frustration as Arn Anderson shakes his head outside of the ring watching on. Okerlund joins Flair at ringside......






Gene Okerlund: "Ric Flair..... what a classic match we just witnessed. And you had a up close and personal spot for it all. We can only assume that you was scouting again for the 4th spot in the Horsemen?"


Flair doesnt respond..... he just stares, smiling at Pillman on the ring. Pillman sees this and takes the housemic.....





Brian Pillman: "Is there something I can do for you? What the Hell are you doing out here anyway?"




Ric Flair: "You just dont get it do ya Pillman? You have all the ability in the world..... but you just dont get it. Instead of worrying about these teenyboopers in the audience and not being able to win a match..... maybe you should look deep in your soul...... and when ya decide you need us...... just throw those four fingers in the air!"


Pillman walks up to the ring ropes looking confused as The Horsemen watch on..... waiting to see Pillmans response. Pillman is debating it! Then we hear.......





It's STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!!


Austin makes his way to the ring and walks right past the Horsemen. The crowd is going nuts! Austin gets in the ring and takes the mic from Pillman.......



  Steve Austin: "What in the Hell are you doing? Huh? I said..... what in the Hell are you doing? I see you there thinking about making the mistake of a lifetime. The Brian Pillman I know wouldnt give those jackasses the time of day! I see you there thinking about holding those four fingers up. When this is what you should be doing......:        [/color
 



Austin walks to the ropes and flips the Horsemen off!



The crowd goes even crazier! But Flair isnt happy about it and The Horsemen make their way to the ring. Austin waits for them.....ready to go! The Horsen all take a different side of the ring. Austin realizes the fight is about to go down when OUT OF NOWHERE......




RANDY ORTON HITS THE RING AND RKO's PILLMAN!! Austin looks on at Orton, shocked to see him. Orton smirks at Austin...... then Orton holds up those 4 fingers! Before Austin realizes what's going on The Horsemen attack! Flair, Arn, and Tully stomp Austin down while Orton grabs Pillman, throwing him on the apron, grabbing him for his patented rope hanging DDT! Arn and Tully hold Austin's arms while Flair just slaps Austin in the face. The beating continues as they whip Austin into the ropes..... SPINEBUSTER FROM ARN! Flair grabs the leg and puts the figure four on Austin.


Jim Ross: "BY GAWD! WHAT A SET UP! THEY KNEW ALL ALONG. RANDY ORTON IS THE 4TH HORSEMEN! BUT YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS THAT THEY HAVENT HEARD THE LAST OF STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!"

My boys are there to chew bubble gum and kick ass .

Ok loving the Cage vs Cobb feud .

Damn , you are nailing Owen . I could never get him right !!!


Hmmm . Who is leaving town ?


Archer made a mistake . Mama Cornette will make him pay . She’s gonna buy someone. Like Aecher face turn .


Pillman vs Liger was fucking epic !!!


Great move making Randy a Horsemen talk about a perfect fit .

Awesome show

Cobb needs a mouthpiece

Interesting segment with Owen .... I hope he sticks here .... he seems to have been the odd man out lately as far as the cuts and trades go

Awesome job with Archer .... I could see this coming and it worked well .... Archer vs Cornettes people will be good

Excellent closing segment .... very well done .... I like how you played on Austin & Pillmans history while also getting Austin heavily involved as he should be

Orton joining the Horsemen is a money move .... I was going to do the same exact thing before I traded the Horsemen away, then traded Orton to you .... it’s a natural fit ...: glad these pieces found their way to WCCW so you could do it, and it all came together perfectly .... now theRe are 4 Horsemen and you have ready-made opponents for them in Austin & Pillman

Good show

NICE TO OPEN UP WITH THE TITLE RECAP

Your ass is in trouble COBB!
