LIVE from The Scope in Norfolk, Virginia!

"The Z-Man" Tom Zenk is out for revenge from last month's disrespectful and cowardly beatdown when he takes on the brash "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers, who will have 911 in his corner.

Doink the Clown will surely be up to no good as usual. "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin and his Hands of Stone will look to set the evil clown straight.

Everybody's favorite jobber, The Gambler, will get his ass kicked by the Big Bossman in a special SQUASH MATCH!

Former UFC stars Ken Shamrock & Tank Abbott will team up on this evening. Larry Zybszko & Hardcore Holly have each stepped up to answer their open challenge.

After getting punked out by Pacman Jones and Floyd "Money" Mayweather last week, The Godfather and newfound friend Butterbean will take on P.I.M.P. in a STREET FIGHT. Mayweather and Jones will have the "Doctor of Style" Slick and "Red Dogg" Rodney Mack in their corner.

After assisting Mr. Perfect in his attack on the Undertaker last month, Sid Vicious has called old buddy "Dangerous" Dan Spivey in to help wreak some more havoc on OSW. They start down their path of destruction by taking on the Rock & Roll Express.

Robert Fuller's Stud Stable has put a huge bullseye on the back of one Sgt. Slaughter, but Sarge isn't having any of it. With both 911 and his "pretty little sunflower" Lady Blossom in his corner, Fuller has challenged Slaughter to Sarge's specialty, a BOOT CAMP MATCH.

The OSW Tag Team Championship will be at stake as the reigning champions, the Miracle Violence Connection, puts the gold on the line in a FATAL FOUR WAY ELIMINATION MATCH against the stiffest competition in all of OSW. Doc & Gordy will have to deal with "White Russian" Nikita Koloff & "Black Russian" Ahmed Johnson, The Midnight Express (Stan Lane & Bobby Eaton), and the #1 contenders to the titles, Jack & Jerry Brisco in what will surely be a barnburner.

And in the main event, the vacant OSW Championship hangs in the balance as the confident "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig has his hands full with the determined and demented Undertaker.

Nice! I miss going to shows there and at my favorite spot, the Richmond Coliseum.

[Eric O'Mac]

I like this card. Has an old school feel, but not TOO old school. Probably one of my top 5 companies thus far.

[DevSop]

I really hate Undertaker but looking at the roster, he is really the only person who is an acceptable opponent for Hennig to me. Other than that, not a lot is catching my interest.

[Road Warrior Shark]

I'm Sad that a real tag team like the Rock & Roll Express isn't in the title 4-way, but the improvised team of Koloff & Ahmed is... tho i LOVE that pairing

[Mikey]

Hey, the Black & White Russians are out for blood.

Besides, I can count on Ricky and Robert to carry the Scrapers to a decent match without the need for another gimmick match, where as Sid/Spivey vs. Ahmed/Nikita could be a trainwreck without the assistance of an overbooked match.

The R&R's will get their chance.

Nice Card Mikey

RESULTS from Norfolk:

The Big Bossman destroyed the Gambler in 0:51 in a Squash Match. (Bossman Slam)

Doink the Clown defeated "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin by countout in 8:57. Garvin nailed Doink with the Hands of Stone, knocking him to the floor. Garvin refused to take a countout win and went outside to throw Doink back in, but Doink was playing possum and took Garvin down face first into the ringsteps. Doink took the initiative to then ram Garvin into the post, and Doink rolled back in as referee Nick Patrick made the count.

"Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers defeated "The Z-Man" Tom Zenk via submission in 11:34. (Figure four leglock) Zenk was the aggressor the entire match, keeping Rogers from getting much sustained offense. However, when Zenk went to the top rope to finish off Rogers, 911 hopped on the apron and nailed Zenk in the knee with a pipe. Rogers pounced on it, slapping on the figure four for the quick submission. Rogers and 911 went to attack Zenk further, but were immediately stopped by Ken Shamrock and Tank Abbott. Shamrock made his case for overturning the decision, pointing out that 911 had interfered, but referee Patrick couldn't change the call. This immediately segued into...

Ken Shamrock & Tank Abbott defeated Larry Zbysko & Hardcore Holly in 8:45 via submission. (Anklelock on Zbysko) Holly & Zbysko used Shamrock's overexcitment against him to gain an early advantage. Larry barked out orders as the match went on, irritating Hardcore, who continued to put the beats on Shamrock. Larry then proceeds to screw it up and lets Shamrock get the hot tag to Tank. Tank mows down Larry, mows down Holly, and then goes to stretch out Larry. Hardcore breaks up a full nelson clutch with a stiff kick to the face. Larry and Hardcore stick it to Tank, but Larry decks Hardcore by mistake. Shamrock gets a blind tag and slaps on the anklelock, and Hardcore walks into break it up... but stops short and bails. Larry has no choice but to tap.

P.I.M.P. (Mayweather and Pacman) beat The Godfather & Butterbean 11:49 into their street fight. (Butterbean thru concession stand) Classic all over the place brawl with props and ridiculousness. Harmless fun. Mayweather and Jones did their best to keep their larger challengers at bay, but wound up getting cornered at a concession stand out on the concourse. Godfather slammed Jones thru the glass on the popcorn machine, drawing our first blood of the night. Ho Train on Pacman puts Jones thru the back panel on the T-shirt stand, sending souvenirs everywhere. Meanwhile, Butterbean drags Slick up the stairs to the second deck, and goes to slam him down to the floor... but Mayweather saves the Slickster with a straight right to Butterbean's jaw that sends the big guy tumbling down into the concession stand. Red Dogg cleans out some space and Mayweather comes down with a splash off the railing about 8 feet up onto Butterbean and gets the pin!

The Rock & Roll Express upset The Skyscrapers in 12:12. (Dropkick counters Sid's powerbomb) Classic speed vs. power match, wit the 'Scrapers controlling most of the action. Ricky Morton played Ricky Morton in classic fashion, finally getting the hot tag to Robert after a desperation DDT after Sid put his head down early on a backdrop attempt. Gibson in to go crazy on both guys. Spivey ends up getting dumped to the floor, but Sid catches Robert for the powerbomb. But when Sid lifts him up, Morton comes off the top and dropkicks Robert in the back, sending Gibson falling right down onto Sid's face. Robert desperately reaches back and hooks a leg and gets the three count!

Robert Fuller defeated Sgt. Slaughter in 23:21 in a Boot Camp Match. (Perfume to Sarge's eyes - Williams run-in) This one spilled into the crowd, back to ringside, up the aisle, back into the crowd, and ultimately back to the ring. False finish 14 minutes in, as 911 interfered... but got caught in the act of delivering a chokeslam to Sarge, and Nick Patrick (who was extra-observant given what happened in the Rogers/Zenk match earlier) ejected him from ringside. Mass run-in finish sees Slaughter trap a bloody Fuller in the cobra clutch, forcing Stud Stable members Williams & Gordy to hit the ring to break it up. That draws out the Bossman and Shamrock. Rogers is out, as is Tank Abbott to even things back up, and we've got a brawl all over ringside. Fuller loads up his cowboy boot with something, but Sarge blocks it, steals it, and decks him! Camel clutch, but as Patrick tries to get Tank and Gordy out of the ring, Lady Blossom pulls a bottle of perfume out from between her tits and sprays it right into Slaughter's eyes. Sarge staggers directly back into an Oklahoma Slam from Dr. Death, who drags Fuller onto Slaughter for the cheap pin and a huge heel pop. The good guys storm the ring at the bell as the Stud Stable scatters.

The Midnight Express defeated The Brisco Bros., Nikita Koloff & Ahmed Johnson, & the Mircale Violence Connection in 35:05 to win the OSW Tag Team Championship in a Fatal Four Way Elimination Match. (Alabama Jam on Ahmed) First portion of the match sees each team get an extended stretch of offense until a ref bump, which sees Doc & Gordy grab the title belts and clear the ring of everyone but Jack Brisco. The champs look to finish off Jack, but a bloody Slaughter rushes the ring and NAILS Dr. Death with the Army helmet just as he lines up the Oklahoma Slam. Sarge takes Gordy out, and Brisco gets the Oklahoma Roll on Doc for the pin at 21:22! We will have new champs crowned! Doc & Gordy are PISSED, Fuller and 911 are out to bitch, but to no avail. Match continues with the Briscos and the Black & White Russians trading off beating on Bobby Eaton. Stan tries his hand and gets nowhere. We end up with Nikita and Jerry Brisco legal, and Nikita comes in for the Sickle, but Jack tackles Jerry out of the way. Nikita slams on the brakes to keep from hitting Nick Patrick, allowing Jerry to cradle him, but Ahmed slips in and pushes them over, unbeknowst to Jack, and Nikita gets the pin at 33:39. That leaves the Russians with a spent Express, and Ahmed stiffs Bobby to the floor before he even knows what happened. Nikita follows to the floor, but Bobby dodges the Sickle and Nikita slams his arm off the post and goes down in pain. In the ring, Ahmed plants Stan with the Pearl River Plunge and makes the cover, but Bobby comes down with the Alabama Jam instead! Stan makes the cover and we have NEW Champions!!

Mr. Perfect defeated The Undertaker by disqualification in to win the vacant OSW Championship. (Taker used a chair) Story of the match saw UT being the aggressor, but Perfect staying ahead of him just enough to keep from getting destroyed. Perfect oversells everything, bouncing the floor like a pinball on Old School. The overselling comes into play when Taker picks him up for the chokeslam, and Hennig's feet kick Nick Patrick right in the face. Tombstone kills Perfect dead, but there's no ref. Eaton and Lane run-in to buy Hennig some time, but Bobby eats a boot and Stan gets tossed to the floor. Perfect tries some brass knuckles, but Taker no-sells and plants Curt with the Last Ride. Lane brings a steel chair in but then HE eats the big boot. Down goes Eaton, and as Perfect gets to his feet, Taker DESTROYS him with the steel chair, drawing "oohs" from the crowd, a big time bladejob from Hennig... and a disqualification from Patrick as he gets back to his feet. UT can't believe it - so he gives Hennig another Tombstone on the damn chair and leaves the belt over his carcass ad poses as the show ends.

[Batman]

Jesus, RRX are the only faces to get a win? I hate downer shows like that. I understand that babyfaces need to chase, but that mentality can be taken WAY too far.

It's not enough to make me change my vote, but that's because I find most of jobber's roster very underwhelming.

Handicap Squash Match:
The Skyscrapers vs. The Gambler

Spivey clothesline decapitates Gambler at the bell. Big boot from Sid. Double chokeslam. And Sid hits the release spinning powerbomb (seen at 0:38 of this video) to finish at 0:58. Spivey has some strong words for the camera after the match and Sid says he's God or something otherwise incomprehensible.


"Rugged" Ronnie Garvin vs. "Red Dogg" Rodney Mack (w/ Slick)

This one's just a slugfest, and a stiff one at that, with both guys potatoing each other at some point during the match. Finish sees Garvin escape the Blackout with a jawbreaker, but Slick interrupts the Garvin Stomp to draw a cheap DQ at 7:08. Garvin lines up the Slickster for the Hands of Stone, but Mack spears Garvin before he can execute, and the heels slither away.

Larry Zbyszko vs. Hardcore Holly

Zbyszko isn't happy about Hardcore hanging him out to dry last week. In a pre-match interview, Holly tells Pamela Paulshock that he's gonna "kick the shit out of that little bastard." Larry stalls (go figure) and Hardcore ends up chasing him to get things going. Zbyszko cheats to get ahead, ramming Hardcore into an exposed turnbuckle. After a brief rally from Holly, Zbyszko cheats again and looks for the standing figure four. But Holly kicks him off, directly into the exposed turnbuckle, and Larry stumbles right back into the Alabama Slam. Hardcore gives him a second one just for the hell of it and gets the pin at 9:45.


#1 Contender Match for the OSW Tag Team Titles:
The Rock & Roll Express vs. Ahmed Johnson & Nikita Koloff

Strength vs. speed is the game here. "The Black Russian" murders Ricky & Robert, and Nikita tells Ahmed to settle down and not get blown up a minute into the match. Sure enough, the RnR's use his overzealousness to their advantage, getting some misdirection going and getting him turned around. Nikita tags in to get some control. Koloff doesn't fall for the same tricks, and a snap belly to belly suplex kills Ricky dead in the middle of the ring. The Russians treat Morton like a ragdoll and throw him all over the place. Ricky blades for the hell of it. Hot tag to Robert after some Russian miscommunication, and Gibson is a house of fire! Crucifix rollup on Ahmed, broken up by Nikita, and the Sickle accidentally takes out referee Nick Patrick. Pearl River Plunge on Gibson... but there's no ref. Ricky tries a crossbody, but Ahmed catches him and slings him over the top with a fallaway slam. Doomsday Device and Gibson is a corpse at this point. The Russians give up on a pin attempt just as Patrick begins to stir, and Nikita goes to the apron. Ahmed sees Morton dragging himself to the apron, blood everywhere, but when Ahmed goes to suplex him in, he walks back into Gibson - simply getting to his knees himself - and trips, and Ricky falls on top for the three count at 21:13 as Nikita turns around and can't believe it!

Terri Runnels interviews Doink the Clown. Terri with some fluff questions, such as "why are you so mean to the fans?" Doink gives some cryptic answers as he takes the interview to the floor, and then covers Mark Madden with a bucket of confetti. Terri asks for some clarification, and gets a bucket of water for her trouble - drawing a big pop from the male audience. Terri tries to somewhat cover up, and Mongo, of all people, gives her his Bears jacket and they leave together.


Boxing Match:
Floyd "Money" Mayweather (w/ Slick) vs. Butterbean

Mayweather and Slick talk a whole bunch of shit to Pamela Paulshock before the bout - with Mayweather telling Pam that she needs to let Doink douse her in water cause she's on fire. Floyd stalls at the bell, and it's clear he's gonna have to use his speed and smarts to stay away from the brawler. First round sees Mayweather work the jab and stay away, and Butterbean can't keep up, only landing some glancing body shots. Butterbean rallies in the second finally getting Mayweather into the corner, and Floyd gets saved by the bell. Slick cuts the laces off Floyd's right glove and talks him up. Butterbean stalks Mayweather at the bell, and as soon as he sneaks around Floyd's jab, Slick hops up on the apron and yells at Butterbean. Referee Patrick steps between them, but the diversion allows Mayweather to get the right glove all the way off and manage to get a pair of brass knuckles on. Butterbean turns around... but DUCKS the big punch, and Mayweather eats a HUGE right hook to the jaw and that's it. Butterbean, KO 3.


OSW Tag Team Championship:
The Midnight Express vs. The Brisco Bros.

Old school tag match if there ever was one. The champs want to speed things up, the challengers want to take things to the mat and make the match a grind. Just a fabulous tag team match with all sorts of cool double team stuff, too much to recap. The Midnights go with heel-styled offense but limit the cheating to hair pulling and tights grabbing, keeping it a relatively clean match. Heat segments on both Jack and Jerry before the big finish. Stereo figure fours get a big pop from the crowd, but Bobby manages to wiggle across the ring and rake Jack's eyes to free Stan, who subsequently breaks Jerry's hold. Rocket Launcher MISSES, and Bobby's hurt. Jerry tries a double underhook suplex, but Stan backdrops him to the floor. Jack takes advantage of Bobby's hurt state and pushes him to the ropes and rolls him up from the back... but Stan sneaks back around and pops him with a superkick, allowing Bobby to roll through and get the pin to retain at 29:21.


Las Vegas Strip Club Match:
The Godfather vs. Pacman Jones (No DQ match actually takes place in a Nevada strip club)

Absolute garbage brawl, with the added bonus of naked women all over the place and dancing music playing the entire time. Too much ridiculousness to recap - drinks in faces, broken bottles, high heels, getting choked out with a bra. The finish sees Pacman send Godfather to the dancing pole, and then Pacman MAKES IT RAIN, but when he realizes he's dropping Benjamins and not singles, Jones bends down to grab his cash... allowing Godfather to come back and DDT him on the stage for the pin after 12:00 or so of very entertaining crap.

Five on Five Elimination Tag Match:
Sgt. Slaughter, Ken Shamrock, The Big Bossman, Tank Abbott, & "Z-Man" Tom Zenk vs. The Stud Stable (Robert Fuller, Buddy Rogers, "Dr. Death" Steve Williams, Terry Gordy, & 911) w/ Lady Blossom

911 is the first one gone, via Tank Abbott right hand at 4:03. Sarge and Fuller both get counted out while brawling into the crowd. So the captains are gone. 4-3 good guys. Donnybrook culminates in Lady Blossom stealing Bossman's nightstick, sliding it to Gordy for the KO on Tank, tying things up. Rogers and the MVC work over Zenk. Hot tag Bossman and Buddy eats the Bossman Slam. Shenanigans break up the pin, and the sequence ends up with a brawl on the floor, but Doc finds Fuller's cane left at ringside and breaks it over Bossman's head. Oklahoma Slam finishes just in case. 3-2 Stud Stable. Shamrock goes crazy on the floor, even shoving Lady Blossom down - momentarily displacing the top of her dress if you get the drift, nearly giving Madden a heart attack. Z-Man hits Rogers with the missile dropkick in the ring, but Gordy kills him dead with the DDT. Rogers drapes an arm over Zenk to get the pin, and Shamrock's in trouble with a 3-1 deficit. But the World's Most Dangerous Man rallies after an extended heat segment, eliminating Gordy with an anklelock out of nowhere. Rogers charges in and eats a hurricanrana. Doc steps in and Ken tells him to bring it, but that allows Rogers to clip his knee. Figure four, but Shamrock gets the ropes. Another try, and Shamrock cradles him for the pin to even it up!! Doc comes in and pounds Shamrock down. Some false finishes, and Williams wants the Oklahoma Slam, but Shamrock falls off the back, shoves Doc into the turnbuckle and rolls him up for the three count at 38:56!! Shamrock is your SOLE SURVIVOR!! That doesn't sit well with the heels, who immediately rush the ring and commence a 5 on 1 asskicking of Shamrock before Sarge and the Army come down and clear the ring.

OSW Championship, DQ Rule Waived:
Mr. Perfect vs. The Undertaker (if Perfect gets DQ'ed, he loses the title)

Taker chases while Perfect tries to outsmart him - story of the match. Perfect pulls Taker down off of Old School and looks for the Perfectplex, but Taker blocks and lifts him straight up into a Death Valley Driver. Perfect dodges the Dead Man clothesline, and Patrick gets bumped. Hennig calls in the backup, and sure enough, here come the Midnights, but UT disposes of them quickly, and Perfect sells a big boot to the floor. Then Taker GOES MEDIEVAL with the NO HANDS OVER THE TOP ROPE PLANCHA~! The heels are toast. Back in and it's the Last Ride for Perfect. Stan hops on the apron with a tag belt, but the Rock & Roll Express run in and break that up! Taker sees the belt, picks it up and chunks it... but referee Patrick sees a KO'ed Hennig and Taker tossing a foreign object and puts two and two together and CALLS FOR THE BELL?? Oh man, the crowd is PISSED, and unfortunately for Nick Patrick, so is Undertaker, who chokeslams Patrick straight to hell. Last Ride for Sweet Stan, and Last Ride for Beautiful Bobby. Before Hennig can scurry away like a cockroach, Taker grab him by the hair and tosses him over the top to the floor. And it's a TOMBSTONE THRU THE ANNOUNCE TABLE. It looks like a war zone as Taker does his thing as we fade out.

[Mikey]

I may need some help here... maybe spoilers will help?

The show opens with the OSW Tag Team Champions, the Midnight Express, down to the ring to cut a promo. Stan handles the talking, and introduces their new manager. A tennis racket pops out from behind the curtain, but that’s not Jim Cornette. Not with that body. It’s Amy Weber…



…Amy amps up the bitch-meter, calls out the Rock & Roll Express and tells Ricky and Robert that they’re not winning the belts, and once they inevitably blow their title shot, they’re not sniffing the tag title picture again. Ricky calls Amy some mean names and promises that in the six man tag later tonight, one of her boys will get their shoulders pinned to the mat.

Squash Match:
The Godfather vs. The Gambler
• Gambler actually gets some offense in this week, but GF no sells it and finishes Gambler in short order with the Ho Train and a Death Valley Driver

Tank Abbott vs. 911 - Skins Match
• Tank’s leather jacket is on a pole, and they repeat the EXACT shitty match they put on at SuperBrawl 2000, complete with Tank winning the match and pulling a knife on 911 after match and saying, “I could fucking end your life right now” Good guys up 1-0 in the Best of 5 War Games challenge.

Larry Zbyszko vs. Ron Garvin - Loser takes a 45 Day sabbatical
• Garvin hits the sunset flip from the top rope… but Larry counters into the standing figure four straight out of it. Larry’s broken his losing streak! And Garvin has to leave OSW for 45 days – presumably to train for Ric Flair at Starrcade.

"Z-Man" Tom Zenk vs. Robert Fuller (w/ Lady Blossom) - Lumberjack Match
• Fun match with loads of interference from both sets of lumberjacks. Fuller gets the duke with an assist from Lady Blossom once the lumberjacks start brawling. Stud Stable ties the War Games challenge up at 1 apiece.

Terri Runnels tries again to get some answers from Doink the Clown
• Terri wants to know why Doink doused her with water last week. And again, Doink plays it funny and cryptic. The Coach ends up with a pie in the face (pies were at ringside setting up for the following contest) and Doink ends up shooting Terri in the face with a can of whipped cream. Doink asks her if she liked his white stuff, and that draws out Mongo McMichael from the back, dressed to fight this week, and Mongo puts the beats on Doink and carries Terri off to the back.

Butterbean vs. Rodney Mack (w/ Slick) - Pie Eating Contest
• Butterbean gets the early advantage, but it’s a setup as Mack slams Butterbean on the back of the head with a pie and jumps him, knocking him out of his chair. Mack wears out Butterbean with the chair, and Floyd Mayweather and Pacman Jones storm the ring like a couple of hyenas and lay a major asswhipping on Butterbean, complete with double DDT on the chair. Godfather, obviously in the middle of changing from his wrestling getup to his pimping threads, makes a late save as the heels scatter.

Big Bossman vs. "Dr. Death" Steve Williams - Strap Match
• Solid brawl here, going into the crowd with the strap. Bossman whips the hell out of Doc’s back in the crowd, drawing all sorts of welts. The ref gets bumped, and Bossman gets all four corners after reversing the Oklahoma Stampede into a tombstone piledriver. Terry Gordy runs in and distracts Bossman long enough for Williams to steal the handcuffs and cuff Bossman’s hands behind his back. Doc slips the strap thru between Bossman’s arms, and Bossman can’t fight him off, valiantly hooking the ropes with his legs best he can, but Doc manages to pull him around to all four turnbuckles for the win. Stud Stable takes a 2-1 lead in the Best of 5 War Games challenge.

The Brisco Bros. vs. P.I.M.P. (Floyd Mayweather & Pacman Jones) w/Slick
• The Briscos have their way with the heels, as Mayweather and Jones have very limited mat experience. Mayweather catches Jerry with a nasty left hand to give PIMP some offense, but it doesn’t last long. Finish sees both Jack and Jerry tie the heels in submission holds, and when Slick goes to interfere, the Godfather hits the ring and carries him off. He’s KIDNAPPED Slick! Godfather says something about pimping out Slick as he leaves and the heels tap out.

Ken Shamrock vs. Buddy Rogers (w/ Robert Fuller) - Submission Match
• Rogers cheats like crazy the entire match, and he uses Fuller’s boot on Shamrock’s knee. Figure four looks to finish, but Shamrock turns it over to break. Anklelock is broken up by Fuller, who leaves a roll of silver dollars for Buddy, who KO’s Shamrock. Figure four and Shamrock is out, but Nick Patrick sees the silver dollars in the ring and forces Rogers to break the hold. The heels argue with him, and the momentary distraction allows Shamrock to catch Buddy with a heel hook for the submission! War Games challenge is tied at two!

The Skyscrapers vs. Nikita Koloff & Ahmed Johnson
• Big man brawl here, as roided up Nikita is actually the little guy here. Stiff and sloppy but perversely entertaining. Scrapers isolate Nikita and look for the Doomsday Device, but Nikita punches down and then crotches Spivey up top. Sid stops the superplex by shoving Nikita all the way to the floor. Pearl River Plunge for Sid, but Spivey nails him with a big boot. Sid powerbombs Ahmed, but Ahmed KICKS OUT! Spivey with a chokeslam, but Ahmed kicks out AGAIN! Nikita’s back and Sid eats the Sickle. Spivey catches him with a hotshot, but turns around into the Pearl River Plunge and that’s enough to win it! Terri wants a word with the Scrapers after the match, and they’re hot and promise that the hell that shall rain down on OSW begins right now.

Six Man Tag Match:
Mr. Perfect & The Midnight Express (w/Amy Weber) vs. The Undertaker & the Rock & Roll Express
• With no titles on the line, this one’s going on second to last. Typical formula match, good guys control early, Ricky Morton plays Ricky Morton, and it’s hot tag Taker late! UT destroys all. Amy steps in and breaks up the chokeslam on Bobby with a shot with the tennis racket, but Taker’s having none of that. He grabs HER by the throat, but Perfect, gentleman that he is, saves her from harm. Last Ride for Mr. P, but Sweet Stan nails UT in the face with a superkick to block. We end up with a pier sixer, and Perfect nails Robert with the Perfectplex, but Ricky breaks up the count. The tennis racket gets tossed in, but Taker grabs it from Stan’s hands, and when Stan turns around, it’s the double dropkick, and Robert pins Stan, just like Ricky called at the beginning of the show. The RnR’s have earned Taker respect and he shakes their hands as Perfect is disgusted… but suddenly the Skyscrapers come in from the crowd and DESTROY the good guys. Steel chair for Taker, and stereo powerbombs leave Ricky and Robert laying. Spivey with a chokeslam for Robert, and Sid hits the spinning release powerbomb on Ricky for fun. Perfect, Amy, and the Midnights are amused from the top of the ramp.

Sgt. Slaughter vs. Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy - Steel Cage Match
• Both guys bleed everywhere, exposed turnbuckles, Sarge’s helmet, cowboy boots, a chain… total brawl by two of the best at it. Sarge puts Gordy between the ropes and the cage and bounces him back and forth to the cage. Sarge takes the corner bump over the turnbuckle and into the cage. Finish sees Fuller run in and try to get into the cage, but Sarge kicks the door out on him. But that jezebel Lady Blossom catches Sarge with the perfume again thru the cage, and blinded Sarge staggers back into the belly to back suplex from Gordy, who drops Sarge right on his damn head for the three count! The Stud Stable has won the War Games challenge and will get the man advantage at War Games in two weeks! However… Fuller gets overzealous when celebrating and winds up locked in the cage alone with a waiting and bloody Slaughter, who proceeds to DESTROY Fuller as the Stable can only watch from outside the cage. Sarge makes sure everyone sees Fuller get his ass kicked before Rogers and Williams finally manage to climb the cage and get in, but now the door’s unlocked and Sarge escapes.

Larry Zbyszko vs. Ron Garvin - Loser takes a 45 Day sabbatical
• Garvin hits the sunset flip from the top rope… but Larry counters into the standing figure four straight out of it. Larry’s broken his losing streak! And Garvin has to leave OSW for 45 days – presumably to train for Ric Flair at Starrcade.

Nice!

What was the story behind that anyway? Was Garvin injured or something? Or did they just want to bump Flair's title reigns up and decided to put the title on Garvin, who was red hot at the time, without having him actually defend it?

[Mikey]

The problem was that EVERYONE knew that they were taking the title off Flair just so he'd win it back at Starrcade. The idea of being a lame duck champion didn't appeal to anyone, but Garvin agreed to it knowing that it was probably his only shot at ever winning the big title.

The problem then was that everyone knew Garvin wasn't going anywhere, and story goes that nobody would job for him, so they invented the 45 day sabbattical so Garvin "could train" for the rematch... which made little sense because he didn't need 45 days before the match in Detroit to win the title in the first place. It wasn't like Flair was also taking time off to "train."

I haven't seen the Starrcade match in at least a decade, but I seem to recall 75% of the Chicago crowd cheering for Flair in the rematch.

Ricky Morton plays Ricky Morton

If I hadn't already voted for you, that line would've earned it.

And I think I remember reading that Garvin was drawing too many boos for a face champion, so they came up with the '45 days to train' as the excuse to get him out of sight until Starcade
