Mountie and Jimmy Hart quickly back peddle to the backstage area shocked to see the British Bulldog.
Vince McMahon puts over the win by Bret Hart while Bobby Heenan is convinced that Hart had a hand full of tights. McMahon hypes up the lumberjack match between former tag team partners and best friends, Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty.

After the match, Jannetty is celebrating the win until Shawn Michaels super kicks Jannetty. Big Bossman rolls into the ring and chases Michaels to the floor. Michaels is not happy with Bossman getting directly involved with the contest.
Vince McMahon puts over the match just witnessed and really puts over Marty Jannetty’s win. Bobby Heenan believes that Jannetty didn’t win it himself, as Big Bossman got involved to help Jannetty get a tainted win. McMahon dismisses those claims saying that Jannetty was the one who pinned Michaels in the ring. Heenan gives up trying to persuade McMahon calling him a “hopeless cause”. McMahon hypes up the tag team main event which will see WWF World Champion Ric Flair and Sid Justice taking on the team of Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper.
Footage from WWF Royal Rumble 1992 is shown where Flair eliminated his tag team partner of the event, Sid Justice.

Sid gets out of the ropes and works on Hogan and all four men are going at it. The referee is forced to call for the bell as he is unable to regain control. Winners: No Contest
After the match, Hogan and Piper send Flair and Justice to the floor and taunt them as the crowd cheers them on.
Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan go over the show. McMahon hypes up the Saturday Night Main Event taking place in March and the biggest event of the year, Wrestle Mania VIII taking place in April. Heenan goes on to say that only “real wrestling fans watch the WWF” and that is why Ric Flair is here and not some other champion. On that note, McMahon thanks everyone for tuning in and signs off.
I really hope this makes it to the 96-00 period. The first half of the 90's doesn't hold my interest as I'm not a big fan of that era.
With that aside, this is a phenomenal idea. You've executed it extremely well and proficiently. It is extremely well written and right now I would dare to say is the best active BTB.

World Championship Wrestling presents Superbrawl II Date: February 29th, 1992 From: Milwaukee, WI Arena: The Mecca Announcers: Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura (debut)
WCW Superbrawl II opening video package mainly promoting the WCW World Heavyweight Championship match between Lex Luger and challenger Sting.
Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura put over the previous match with Ventura saying that the Dangerous Alliance proved that they are the best tag team in WCW. Ross hypes up the battle of friends match which will see Dustin Rhodes taking on Ricky Steamboat. Ventura has heard plenty of good things about Rhodes and decides to pick Rhodes as the winner of the contest.

Winner: Ricky Steamboat via pin fall
After the match, Steamboat celebrates the win as Rhodes gets to his feet not happy with the outcome. Steamboat helps Rhodes up and whispers something to Rhodes. After a few moments, Rhodes embraces Steamboat and they play to the crowd appearing to resolve their issues.
Jim Ross puts over the hard fought contest that saw Dustin Rhodes prove that he can hang with the top tier talent in WCW. Ventura disagrees and says that Rhodes should have won the match to be considered a top contender. Ventura also finds it sick that Rhodes embraced Steamboat after losing. Ross says its all about respect. Ross proceeds to hype up the Bobby Eaton/Johnny B. Badd match which is next.
Fourth Contest: Johnny B. Badd versus Bobby Eaton
Eaton attacks Badd as he plays to the crowd during his introduction. Eaton sends Badd into the ropes and connects with a backbreaker. Eaton continues with a back suplex but misses a elbow drop off the middle rope. Badd with a series of rights and lefts and connecting with a discus left hook that knocks Eaton silly. Eaton stumbles into a corner and Badd continues with a series of jabs and hip tosses Eaton out of the corner. Badd leaps off the middle turnbuckle and connects with a spinning heel kick and gets a near fall. Badd continues his offense with a tilt a whirl head scissors take down that causes Eaton to bail to the floor to regroup.

Eaton heads to the top rope and connects with the Alabama Jam and picks up the win. Winner: Bobby Eaton via pin fall
After the match, Eaton looks to connect with another leg drop off the top but Marcus Bagwell runs down to the ring and crotches Eaton on the top rope and dropkicks Eaton off the top to the floor! Bagwell checks on Badd while Eaton heads to the back taunting both Bagwell and the fans.
Jim Ross can’t believe that Madusa set Scott Steiner up to fail in the match. Ross truly thought that Madusa had feelings for Steiner but apparently used Scott Steiner to help Rude retain the championship. Ventura says it’s what a true champion does. Ventura thinks it great that Rude sent a “scout” of sorts to help him defeat Scott Steiner and doesn’t believe there is anything wrong with doing so. Ross finds the whole situation sickening. Ross and Ventura promote the six man tag team elimination match which is coming up next!
Seventh Contest: Ron Simmons/Junkyard Dog/Rick Steiner versus Vegas Connection (Elimination Match)
First Elimination: the Vegas Connection managed to control Junkyard Dog for several moments in the opening minutes of the contest. Page nailed JYD with discus clothesline and a swinging neck breaker but couldn’t put him away. Vinnie Vegas got involved and delivered a big boot and side slam but JYD just wouldn’t stay down. However, once Vegas plants JYD with a power bomb, it was all over for JYD and JYD is the first man eliminated from the contest.
Second Elimination: Rick Steiner with several clotheslines on Vegas and a snap power slam on Diamond Studd who got the tag from Vegas. Steiner with a release German suplex and a overhead belly to belly suplex on Studd for a near fall. Steiner attempts the Steiner bulldog off the middle rope but Studd spins around and meets Steiner with a clothesline in midair. Studd with a fall away slam before tagging in Diamond Dallas Page. Page attempts a gut wrench power bomb but Steiner holds onto his legs and takes Page down and delivers right hands. Steiner avoids a clothesline and connects with a bridging German suplex and only gets a near fall as Vegas and Studd broke up the count. Simmons enters and brawls with Vegas but Studd comes from behind and stops Simmons. Page attempts to connect with the Diamond Cutter on Steiner, but Steiner hangs onto the ropes and plants Page with the Steiner bulldog off the middle turnbuckle to eliminate Page from the contest.
Third Elimination: Steiner is celebrating the elimination and is met with a clothesline to the back of the head by Diamond Studd. Studd places Steiner on the top turnbuckle and connects with a back suplex off the middle rope and gets a near fall. Studd grabs Steiner and delivers a backbreaker. Studd locks in a abdominal stretch and is knock down by Simmons with a clothesline. Simmons wants a tag but Steiner is unable to reach him as Studd pulls Steiner back to his corner. Vegas gets the tag and drops a series of elbows on Steiner. Vegas sends Steiner into the ropes and drops Steiner with a side walk slam for a near fall. Steiner avoids a big boot and knocks Vegas down after several clotheslines. Steiner finally tags in Simmons who powers Vegas down with a running power slam and nearly eliminates Vegas from the match. Simmons leaps off the middle rope and knocks Vegas down with a flying shoulder block. Simmons plays to the crowd and doesn’t realize that Studd has gotten the tag. Studd connects with a choke slam and sets Simmons up for the Diamond Death Drop and connects. Studd goes for the cover and gets the three as Steiner was just late trying to break up the win. This leaves just Rick Steiner taking on Diamond Studd and Vinnie Vegas!
Fourth Elimination: Rick Steiner is cornered by both Studd and Vegas (who ignores the referees orders to leave the ring). Steiner avoids a right hand from Vegas and clotheslines Studd down. Vegas spins around and is taken down with a side belly to belly suplex. Vegas is clotheslined over the top to the floor. While Vegas is on the floor, he gets the referee’s attention to a possible injury and Steiner is trying to tell the referee that Vegas is faking. Studd low blows Steiner and rolls him up. The referee sees this and slides into the ring to make the count while Studd is holding the ropes for leverage. Studd picks up the win for his team!
Winners: The Vegas Connection via pin fall
After the match, Rick Steiner tries telling the referee that he was low blowed by Studd but the referee tells him he didn’t see it so he can’t call it. Vegas and Studd head up the ramp way with Diamond Dallas Page by their side mocking Rick Steiner.
Jim Ross is clearly not happy with the Vegas Connection continuing to cheat to win matches. Ross doesn’t believe that the Vegas Connection are as good as they claim they are and that they will never be the stars they want to be if they can’t win the right way. Jesse Ventura defends the Vegas Connection by saying that they simply out smarted Rick Steiner, JYD and Ron Simmons “which isn’t hard to do anyway”. Ross can’t believe Ventura would say that, but Ventura says he is saying the what he believes. Ross gives up on Ventura and begins to hype up the much anticipated WCW World Heavyweight Championship match with Lex Luger defending against former friend and tag team partner, Sting. Ross goes over the history between both men which included Luger turning on the fans in July of 1991 to win the championship belt and even putting a bounty on Sting to avoid having to face him here tonight. Ventura believes that Luger will get the job done tonight and will win his own bounty that was placed on Sting. Ross says it is time to find up as Lex Luger versus Sting for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, is next!
Jim Ross is appalled that the Vegas Connection has ruined two matches. Jesse Ventura again disagrees and says that they made two of the best outcomes of the evening. Ross is strongly upset with the finish to the much anticipated main event of the evening and believes that Sting should be given another match but with the other wrestlers barred from ringside. Jim Ross can’t believe Jesse Ventura truly supports those actions and tells Ventura that he was better than that. Ventura says clearly he isn’t. Ross regains composure to plug the next time WCW will be live on pay per view in May with the event known as Wrestle War. In the meantime, Ross hypes up the Clash of the Champions taking place next month. Ross and Ventura sign off ending the broadcast.
- With Wrestle Mania VIII just around the corner, WWF World Champion Ric Flair remains without a challenger for the biggest event of the year. Flair doesn’t mind that though, as he doesn’t believe there is anyone in the WWF that is worthy of a title shot. Jack Tunney, the WWF President, sees otherwise as he believes there are four men who are deserving a title shot and they will get a chance to fight for that right at Saturday Night Main Event. Jack Tunney announces that the four men will be Sid Justice, Roddy Piper, Jake Roberts and Hulk Hogan. Tunney explains his reasoning for each man. Sid Justice gets the opportunity because Sid was the last one eliminated from the Royal Rumble contest which Ric Flair won to win the championship. Roddy Piper has been given the chance because of the war of words that he has had with Ric Flair over the past several months. Tunney is willing to give Piper the chance to shut Flair up and win the championship at the biggest event of the year. Tunney has awarded Jake Roberts a chance because Jake Roberts was able to defeat a former WWF World Champion, Randy Savage at the Royal Rumble. Tunney makes it clear that he is not condoning the actions Roberts has done towards Elizabeth. Lastly, Tunney announces that Hulk Hogan will get the chance because Hogan was the last WWF World Champion before all of the controversy. Jack Tunney says their must be a winner and that Ric Flair will be defending the championship at the event, no matter what.
- With Jake Roberts in the fatal four way match at Saturday Night Main Event, Randy Savage was furious with that decision and is on a rampage. Savage has made it clear that he is livid with Roberts for what he continues to do to Elizabeth. Randy Savage has told Jack Tunney and Jake Roberts that they better watch out at Saturday Night Main Event, because Savage will be coming for both of them.
- Repo Man strikes again, but this time he steals some gold. Bret Hart was defending the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Virgil on Primetime Wrestling, when Repo Man came down to the ring and was able to steal the WWF Intercontinental Championship successfully. Over the course of several weeks, Bret Hart calls Repo Man a “coward” and a “snake” for sneaking around and stealing important items. Hart tells Repo that he is going to regret stealing something that Bret had fought so hard to get and keep. On a edition of Superstars, Repo Man has a camera man follow him as he goes to a pawn shop where he is trying to sell the WWF Intercontinental Championship. However, at this particular pawn shop there is a sketch of Repo Man saying “do not accept any merchandize from this man”. Repo Man attempts to convince the pawn shop owner he isn’t the same guy in the sketch. What Repo Man doesn’t know is that Bret Hart is at the pawn shop and Hart attacks Repo Man at the shop. A mysterious man has Repo Man’s back, however and helps Repo Man escape the pawn shop with the belt in hand. Jack Tunney announces that Repo Man will face the WWF Intercontinental Champion Bret Hart at the Saturday Night Main Event.
- Shawn Michaels feels that he was screwed out of his match against Marty Jannetty at the last Saturday Night Main Event. Michaels problem is with the Big Bossman who got physically involved in the contest. Bossman defends his actions saying that he was preventing Michaels from cheating, which Michaels denies. Michaels is extremely aggravated so he wants to fight both Big Bossman and Marty Jannetty. Jack Tunney says he will sign the match, only if Michaels is able to find a tag team partner. Michaels does some recruiting and manages to get Rick “The Model” Martel to be his partner. Martel reveals his reasoning that he is tagging with Michaels because he wants to put the “fat, out of shape pastry eating corrupt cop” Big Bossman out of the WWF and wants to help Michaels get the “drug abuser, womanizer” Marty Jannetty out as well. Over the course of several weeks, all four men get in physical altercations before their tag team bout at Saturday Night Main Event.
- Randy Savage may be furious about Jake Roberts getting a chance to get a title shot, but he needs to be focused on a certain “creature of the dark”. Randy Savage has to deal with the voodoo master Papa Shango and his now unwilling partner The Undertaker. Shango and Jake Roberts have made it clear that they want Randy Savage gone from the WWF forever. Shango, having stolen the urn from Paul Bearer, has control over the Undertaker and has directed the Undertaker to take Savage out. Shango is looking for another soul and that soul is Randy Savage. Savage will be taking on the Undertaker at the Saturday Night Main Event.
- Money Incorporated have another chance to win the WWF World Tag Team Championships at Wrestle Mania VIII. In the meantime, they need to get some kind of advantage over the Legion of Doom. Money Inc. have ended their brief business partnership with the Natural Disasters and are going to get the job done themselves. Money Inc. appear to have gotten that advantage by attacking the left knee of Hawk. The Legion of Doom had just gotten done competing in a squash match when Money Inc. snuck into the ring and DiBiase nails Hawk with the steel briefcase on the left knee. IRS tied Animal up in the ropes which allowed the attack. Jack Tunney these actions to be a cowardly act, and has said that Animal will get a small chance for revenge when he faces Ted DiBiase at the Saturday Night Main Event.
- Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko have gotten their cocky attitude back and they don’t care who they hurt and who they make angry. Anderson and Zbyszko defeat The Armstrong Brothers (Brad/Steve) w/ Bullet Bob Armstrong in their corner on a edition of WCW Saturday Night to retain their WCW World Tag Team Championships. Anderson attacks the elderly Bob Armstrong after the contest after Bob got in Anderson’s face as he and Zbyszko beat down Steve Armstrong. As the Dangerous Alliance beat down Bob, his son Brian Armstrong came from the backstage area with a chair and waffled both Anderson and Zbyszko with the chair to help protect his brothers and father. The following week, Brian Armstrong (who has signed with WCW) was attacked backstage by the Dangerous Alliance getting their payback. The Armstrong’s manage to get a series of wins to earn a title shot at the Clash of the Champions. Can the underdog Armstrong Brothers surprise the world and win the WCW World Tag Team Championships?
- Cactus Jack has found a new target, this time focusing on the Junkyard Dog. Cactus Jack viciously attacked JYD on a edition of the Power Hour. Jack took the beating to whole other level by tying JYD’s arms behind his back and planting JYD with several DDT’s on the concrete floor. Jack would eventually explain his actions as wanting to “take all the good guys out so the fans cheer for Cactus Jack“. Jack appears to be wanting to get the fans attention, but fails to realize he is doing it the wrong way. JYD would get some measure of revenge by slamming Jack on the concrete floor a couple of times on a edition of Saturday Night, but Jack appeared to have enjoyed the pain. Will JYD be able to overcome the deranged efforts of Cactus Jack to be approved by the fans, or will Cactus Jack prevail and be loved by the fans?
- The new WCW Television Champion already has a new challenger to deal with. Terrence Taylor, or also known as the Tailor Mad Man, has been vocal that he has everything it takes to be a champion. He dresses like a champion should, he wrestles like a champion, but he has not gotten the chance to be a singles champion. Over the course of several shows, Taylor would openly challenge Barry Windham to give him a WCW Television Championship shot and say that if Windham refused that Windham would forever be considered a “coward”. Windham would confront Taylor and accept the challenge. Taylor, seemingly be grateful, offers to shake Windham hand and Windham shakes Taylor’s hand only to be met with a cheap shot and sent hard shoulder first into the ring post. Taylor tells Windham that he has taken out his shoulder, and will take the WCW Television Championship at the Clash of Champions.
- Tully Blanchard blasted Dustin Rhodes during a interview segment claiming that Dustin is nothing like his father Dusty, which “wasn’t much to begin with” and that the Rhodes family should be ashamed Dustin for being a loser. Blanchard pokes fun at Dustin losing the tag team titles in January, and then losing to Ricky Steamboat at Super Brawl. Blanchard says that Dusty Rhodes was a NWA World Champion while Dustin would be lucky to “be the ring girl to hold that belt”. Blanchard says that a certain someone in the a rival company always had top priority back in the day for that belt, but he isn’t their anymore and Blanchard is seeking to become the WCW World Champion. Just as Blanchard finishes the interview segment Dustin Rhodes brawls with Blanchard clearly not happy with the remarks. Blanchard insults Rhodes during the scuffle. Rhodes would have his own interview time the following week and admit that he has been on a slight losing streak but believes that even at his worse he can beat the “old timer” Tully Blanchard. Rhodes and Blanchard will square off at the Clash of the Champions.
- Bobby Eaton did not appreciate the run in by Marcus Bagwell at Super Brawl that saved Johnny B. Badd from a post match beating. Eaton makes it known that he said he would beat the “flamboyant” Badd and now he is turning his attention to the “pretty boy punk” Marcus Bagwell. Eaton finds it sickening that the female fans cheer and whistle at Bagwell. Eaton is sick of it. Eaton hopes that the female fans will continue to do that when he “breaks every bone is face”. Bagwell believes that Eaton is just jealous of him and Johnny B. Badd. Eaton dismisses that claim as he is just annoyed and believes that wrestling needs to go back wrestling and not to the slogan of “sex sells”. Eaton doesn’t care if he is liked or not liked he is here in WCW to do business and help Paul E. Dangerously. He’d be helping both of them getting rid of another annoyance at the Clash of Champions when he faces Marcus Bagwell.
- After being betrayed by Madusa at Super Brawl and costing him the WCW United States Championship, Scott Steiner has to deal with a fellow Dangerous Alliance member in Steve Austin. Austin insults Steiner for several shows claiming that no one wants to “be around someone with a third grade intelligence level”. Austin tells Steiner that the Dangerous Alliance consists of the best looking and hardest working men in the business who will eventually take over WCW. Austin insults Steiner for even thinking that Madusa would want to associate herself with someone on the losing side of the battle. Steiner finds it funny that she went back to the Dangerous Alliance, then. Austin doesn’t like being called a loser and slaps Steiner in the face. That would lead to a pull apart brawl, and each man insulting the other for several shows. Steve Austin will take on Scott Steiner at the Clash of the Champions to see who the better man is and who is apart of the winning team.
- Speaking of Madusa, WCW United States Champion Rick Rude turns from facing one Steiner Brother to facing another one. Rick Steiner stands up for his brother and wants to get revenge for Scotty. Rick wants to “chew Rick Rude apart and spit him out piece by piece” and says that Rude will be so disfigured that Madusa will be crawling back to Scott Steiner hoping to be with a true man. Rick Rude tells Rick Steiner to wake up from his dream as nobody is better than Rick Rude and Madusa won’t find anyone better than him. Rick Rude makes it clear that he will face Rick Steiner, but refuses to put the WCW United States Championship on the line considering Rick Steiner hasn’t earned a shot. Rick Steiner says he isn’t seeking the belt, but is rather seeking to rearrange the face of Rick Rude and that “WCW won’t be able to recognize the WCW US Champion when I’m done with him!”
- Brian Pillman has been picking up several impressive wins over guys such as Tom Zenk, Richard Morton and Thomas Rich. Pillman managed earn a rematch against Jushin Liger at the Clash of the Champions for the WCW Lightweight Championship.
I'm really enjoying reading these. I love Michaels and Martel teaming up due to how similar of a falling out they had with their partner and the gimmicks that were born. From recent storylines and matches, the one thing I don't like is the four way for SNME. I really hate when people writes BTB and suddenly older companies are doing triple threats or four ways when several years before the WWE would even do the first match of it's kind in their company.

World Wrestling Federation presents Saturday Night Main Event Date: March 14th, 1992 From: Hartford, Connecticut Arena: Hartford Civic Center Announcers: Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan
Vince McMahon puts over the win by Bret Hart to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship. McMahon hopes that this beating will teach Repo Man a lesson on why not to steal from WWF wrestlers. Heenan chimes in and mentions that Repo Man has only stolen things from people who deserved it. McMahon doesn’t understand, so Heenan tells him that Repo Man has only stolen from a Canadian and a Native American (Tatanka). McMahon can’t believe Heenan would say such a thing, but Heenan maintains that Repo Man is a good American. McMahon ignores those comments and hypes up the voodoo master Papa Shango taking on “El Matador” Tito Santana coming up next!
Second Contest: Papa Shango versus Tito Santana

Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan put over the actions of the voodoo master Papa Shango. Heenan thinks its great that The Undertaker now has a great leader in Papa Shango as compared to Paul Bearer. McMahon doesn’t agree and says that he is sure the Undertaker would go back to Paul Bearer, if and when Bearer were to return to the WWF. Heenan says that will never happen. McMahon admits that is a possibility and transitions to the return of the British Bulldog where the Bulldog will face Greg Valentine coming up next!

Mountie hits Bulldog while he is celebrating the win on the middle turnbuckle. Mountie leaps off the middle turnbuckle and drives the megaphone right across the face of Bulldog. Mountie bails from the ring as Jim Duggan charges the ring.
Vince McMahon puts over British Bulldog successful in-ring return to the WWF. Heenan doesn’t believe that Bulldog will have the same success when he faces the Mountie in the near future. McMahon thinks that the British Bulldog will get revenge against the cowardly Mountie. Heenan dismisses that thought. McMahon turns his attention to the tag team match which will see Marty Jannetty and Big Bossman taking on Shawn Michaels and Rick Martel and says that the contest is coming up next!

Bobby Heenan is very happy to see Michaels get some measure of revenge by evening the score with Jannetty, McMahon mentions that Michaels would have never pinned Jannetty had it not been Martel who illegally got involved. Heenan reminds McMahon that last month, Big Bossman cost Michaels against Jannetty and that its only fair. McMahon doesn’t have anything to say after that. McMahon brings up the Ted DiBiase/Animal match which is coming up next. Heenan believes that DiBiase will show the world that one half of Money Inc. is better than one half of Legion of Doom.

After the match, DiBiase rolls to the floor and nails Hawk with the briefcase who was still brawling with IRS. Money Inc. head to the backstage area taunting the fans and signaling that they will be the new WWF World Tag Team Champions at Wrestle Mania VIII.
Bobby Heenan is overly happy to see Animal lose to Ted DiBiase. McMahon is disgusted at just how happy Heenan is to see the underhanded tactics by DiBiase. Heenan tells McMahon that he appreciates guys who will do “whatever it takes to get the job done”. McMahon finds that logic to be horrible. Heenan doesn’t care. McMahon mentions another horrible situation where Papa Shango has control over The Undertaker and has Undertaker under a spell to do whatever he wants him to do. Tonight, the Undertaker will be facing Randy Savage who has been in a heated feud with Jake Roberts who has an alliance with Shango and Undertaker. Randy Savage versus Undertaker is up next!

Vince McMahon thought that the Undertaker was finally going to put up a fight against Papa Shango but the urn continues to control Taker. Heenan believes that if Taker knew what was best for him, he wouldn’t try to ruin it. McMahon strongly believes that Undertaker needs Paul Bearer to overcome the mind control that Papa Shango currently has over Undertaker. Heenan doesn’t believe that Bearer would be able to help. Heenan thinks that Shango will forever have control over Undertaker and thinks that is great. McMahon mentions that main event which is the fatal four way match to determine the number one contender to the WWF World Championship. Heenan thinks this is a waste of time as no one is at the level of current WWF World Champion, Ric Flair. McMahon disagrees and believes that all four men in the main event are all worthy of a title shot and we will soon find out who will get the title shot at Wrestle Mania VIII.

World Wrestling Federation April 1992
- The biggest match in WWF history will be taking place at Wrestle Mania VIII. WWF World Champion and self proclaimed “real world’s champion” Ric Flair will defend his championship against former four time WWF World Champion, Hulk Hogan. Fans have been waiting years for this dream match and on April 5th, 1992 they will get what they have dreamt about. Flair, being a former rival’s top champion, had claimed to be “the man” and having beaten everyone in the rival company, he was. However, now he is in the WWF where he has a new challenger in Hulk Hogan. Hogan has made it known that he doesn’t care what Flair had done in the a lesser company. Hogan told Flair that he is the top competitor in WWF, and that Flair hasn’t proven anything until he has beaten Hogan. Hogan doesn’t believe Flair can over come the millions of Hulkamaniacs at Wrestle Mania VIII. Flair responds by saying that Hogan and all of his fans are living in a delusional world. Flair will make them all realize that he is the man, and that he is the one person that Hulk Hogan simply can not defeat. Flair doesn’t care that Hogan has the fans, because all that matters is that Flair is far better than Hulk Hogan and he will prove it on WWF’s biggest stage, Wrestle Mania.
- Former tag team partners will do battle in WWF’s most gruesome match. Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty have been in a wild feud ever since the new year. Having competed at the Royal Rumble, and fighting to a double count-out their second match took place with lumberjacks surrounding the ring. However, the lumberjacks got involved in the match and didn’t settle anything. Michaels was furious over how the WWF could allow Jannetty to be awarded the match at the last SNME considering the Big Bossman got involved. Michaels wants to get rid of his former friend once and for all but in a match that would determine just who the better man is. Michaels challenges Marty Jannetty to a Steel Cage match at Wrestle Mania VIII. Jannetty quickly accepts and makes it clear that is going to scar the pretty boy face of Shawn Michaels and take away his sexy boy image. Michaels responds by tells Jannetty that Michaels will force Jannetty to become a rejected rock star and not a wrestling superstar.
- In what has to be the most dramatic and brutal rivalry in WWF history, Jake Roberts and Randy Savage will do battle at Wrestle Mania VIII. Jack Tunney has made it clear that these two men do not abide by the rules considering what has transpired between the two men. Savage has been on a mission to get his hands on Roberts for stalking his wife Miss Elizabeth over the past several weeks. Roberts has been trying to plant the seed of poison inside of Elizabeth’s soul. Savage has attacked Roberts several times after Roberts’s wins several squash matches. Roberts usually makes an appearance while Savage wrestles slowly stalking Elizabeth but never touching her. Savage demands Jack Tunney make their match at Wrestle Mania a no disqualification match, and surprisingly Jake Roberts is in favor of that. Roberts wants to show Elizabeth that her man can not stand up for her the way that she deserves. Roberts and Savage will surely be a wild brawl with one career may be coming to an end. Will Roberts be able to win over Elizabeth by destroying Randy Savage or will Savage defend the honor of his wife?
- Bret Hart has a another new challenger for Wrestle Mania, but it is someone he never expected. The Texas Tornado, aka Kerry Von Erich made a innocent challenge to Bret Hart for a title match at Wrestle Mania. The challenge was innocent, at first. Tornado and Hart had a confrontation on the Brother Love segment where Tornado attacked Bret Hart after shaking his hand. Tornado told the world that he is the best who has never gotten a fair chance. Over the course of the several weeks, Tornado reminds everyone that he defeated Mr. Perfect just like Bret Hart has done. Tornado knows that he can defeat Bret Hart and he will walk away with the championship at Wrestle Mania. Bret Hart responds to the claims saying that he always respected Von Erich, until he did the cowardly act of attacking him. Bret Hart has thrown the friendship aside and will do everything he can to make Tornado wish that he never stepped up to be the champion.
- Sid Justice has been able to intimidate everyone since he arrived to the WWF. However, recently Justice has stumbled upon someone who doesn’t step down from anyone. Rowdy Roddy Piper has been on commentary and was heard saying that Justice isn’t that big and bad. Justice heard this and confronted Piper to step in the ring with him. Justice didn’t even wait for a response as he slapped the headset off of Piper and choke slammed Piper on the concrete floor. Justice thought that Piper had smarten up, but a couple of weeks later, Piper came back and attacked Justice during a squash match. Piper challenges Justice to a match at Wrestle Mania VIII. Justice accepts the match and makes the prediction will be staying at home with his family wearing a dress for the rest of his life. Justice is going to make Piper a househusband when he gets done with him. Piper says that he will prove to the world that Justice is not as big and bad as he presents himself and that no one can control the Hot Rod.
- Papa Shango has issued a open challenge for “any poor soul” who would want to try and beat the Undertaker at Wrestle Mania VIII. Hacksaw Jim Duggan steps up to the plate and believes that he has the ability to beat the Undertaker. Duggan knows that Undertaker doesn’t want to be controlled by Papa Shango, and he hopes that he can provide Undertaker the knowledge that he doesn’t need Shango. Duggan is not afraid of the Undertaker and he will beat the Undertaker and help him at the same time. Shango disregards that and says that his creature will bury Duggan with his American flag on April 5th, 1992.
- Money Incorporated have invested some much time and money on winning the WWF World Tag Team Championships from the Legion of Doom, so much that they are running out of options. Money Inc. has paid off several teams to weaken the Legion of Doom before their big match. Legion of Doom have managed to win all of those matches, but they could be weaken down enough to be vulnerable to lose the titles. Legion of Doom have said that no amount of money will be able to take the tag titles away from them. They know that they are the best tag team in the WWF and will continue to prove that when they beat Money Incorporated. DiBiase and IRS have said that they have a surprise for the Legion Doom that guarantees them victory at Wrestle Mania VIII.
- For months the Mountie had zapped several wrestlers, most notably the British Bulldog. Mountie continued to zap people with his taser which included several of the British Bulldog’s allies. Mountie zapped Sgt. Slaughter and Jim Duggan, two guys that had tried to fight Mountie for their friend. Bulldog returned at the last SNME and surprised the Mountie. Jack Tunney announced that the Mountie would have to face the British Bulldog at Wrestle Mania VIII. Mountie at first didn’t like the announcement, but after a few weeks began to embrace the idea of “putting the dog to sleep for good”. Bulldog says that he has been waiting months to get his hands on the Mountie and that he can’t wait to know the feeling of beating the Mountie in the center of the ring. Bulldog even hints at the possibility of zapping the Mountie at Wrestle Mania VIII.
- A big eight man tag team match has been signed for Wrestle Mania VIII. Three different feuds look to be settled in one explosive match. Big Bossman, Natural Disasters and Tatanka will take on the Repo Man, Nasty Boys and Rick Martel. Bossman is fed up with Repo Man stealing various items from wrestlers and is on a mission to have the Repo Man serve hard time. Nasty Boys have been poking fun of the Natural Disasters weight even mocking them during a Disasters match that led to the Disasters losing to the Beverly Brothers by count-out. Lastly, Rick Martel had smelled a disgusting scent and came to the conclusion that it was the feathers that Tatanka wears to the ring. So, Martel sprayed the feathers with his fragrance which according to Tatanka “soiled the feathers”. Tatanka looks to get revenge at Wrestle Mania VIII with his team.

World Championship Wrestling April 1992
- With the WWF holding their biggest show of the year, WCW has signed perhaps the biggest rematch is recent history for the April edition of Clash of the Champions. After making Lex Luger submit at the March Clash of the Champions Sting has earned a another shot to take the WCW World Championship from Lex Luger. Luger obviously was not happy about hearing this news as Sting had only beaten him in a tag team match. However, WCW officials would not back down and have made the match. Sting has made it clear that he has only given Luger a taste as to what he is really capable of doing. Sting promises Luger and the fans that once he gets the Scorpion death lock locked in, he will not let go until he feels the bones in Luger’s legs breaking and even then he may not let go. Lex Luger reminds the fans that Sting had made similar threats going into Super Brawl II and couldn’t get the job done. Luger expects the same to happen at the Clash of Champions as he shows the world why he is indeed the “total package”.
- Ron Simmons was viciously attacked before a match against Diamond Dallas Page on a edition of Saturday Night. Simmons was attacked Vinnie Vegas and Diamond Studd which would allow Page to easily pin Simmons and taunt him by pinning him with one foot on his chest. The following week, Simmons would return the favor by attacking Diamond Dallas Page in a hotel parking lot. Page would seek that Simmons be arrested for assault, and Simmons was. DDP thought he was in the clear of having to deal with Ron Simmons, but apparently their wasn’t enough evidence to hold Simmons in jail! Simmons has threatened WCW that if he doesn’t get a fight with DDP, he will take out everyone until he gets it. WCW, wanting to avoid any employees getting hurt, signed the match for the Clash of the Champions. Can DDP beat a healthy and angry Ron Simmons one on one?
- The Dangerous Alliance have been on quite a roll as of late. Holding the WCW United States and WCW World Tag Team Championships they have a lot of power. However, they don’t believe they have any worthy competition. Rick Rude, the WCW United States Champion, and the WCW World Tag Team Champions Larry Zbyszko and Arn Anderson have said that they have beaten all the top wrestlers or tag teams that WCW has to offer. WCW officials don’t see that to be the case. Ricky Steamboat returned from a shoulder injury a couple of months ago and has reminded Rick Rude that he hasn’t defeated him in WCW which is “his company”. Steamboat wants Rick Rude to back up his words and beat one of the greatest ever. Rick Rude disagrees and refuses to put the title up against someone who hasn’t proven anything after a injury. WCW officials agree with Rude. Zbyszko and Anderson have been winning their matches and their attitudes have been getting worse. Fan favorite tag team the Steiner Brothers are back to being a tag team after a brief singles push for both men. They issue a challenge to the champions saying that they haven’t achieved anything until you beat them. Just like Rick Rude, Zbyszko and Anderson decline saying that the Steiner’s haven’t been teaming up lately and thus they will not get a title shot. However, they do not make the matches. WCW officials stepped in and made a big six man tag team match for the Clash of the Champions. If Ricky Steamboat and the Steiner’s win, then they get title shots at Wrestle War. If they lose, then they can not challenge the Dangerous Alliance for the titles for 365 days.
- Cactus Jack was suspended two weeks for hanging Junkyard Dog at the previous months Clash of the Champions. JYD is recovered and is one mad dog. JYD has issued a challenge to Cactus Jack for Clash of the Champions. Knowing that Jack likes pain and punishment and also apparently likes to hang people with dog collars, JYD has challenged Cactus Jack to a dog collar match. Cactus Jack was quick to accept and even said “now I can put the dog to sleep for good… and it will be considered legal”.
- Steve Austin has reminded everyone that he had a rematch clause in his contract when he lost the WCW Television championship to Barry Windham. When asked why he didn’t use it yet, Austin said that he hasn’t used his last surprise opponent for Barry Windham. Austin also noted he will be challenging Windham for his WCW Television championship next month at Wrestle War. However, Barry Windham will need to make it to the event after he gets in the ring with “ a big muscled up freak from Minnesota”. Austin has not announced who the opponent is. Windham has came out and said that he isn’t intimidated and that he will beat anyone Austin puts in front of him and will beat Austin, again.
- Tully Blanchard has been gloating about his victory over Dustin Rhodes at last months Clash of the Champions and proclaiming that Dustin is just like his father Dusty Rhodes, which is a loser. After a match on the Power Hour, Blanchard went over the commentary table and began to insult Dusty Rhodes and even slapped him across the face. Dustin Rhodes stormed over to the area and brawled with Blanchard until they were broken up. Dustin would say that Blanchard got the better of him last month but that is the past. Dustin has also made it clear that you do not mess with his family, especially his father. Dustin wants to another match to fight for the honor of his father. Tully Blanchard doesn’t care, and accepts the match as he will just beat the young kid up one more time. Blanchard repeats that the Rhodes family will always be second best in this company, and that just isn’t good enough.
- Bobby Eaton has beaten both Johnny B. Badd and Marcus Bagwell but those two kids will just not go away. Eaton had paid Vinnie Vegas and Diamond Studd to injure Badd and Bagwell but surprisingly Badd and Bagwell held their own and were able to escape any injury. Eaton, furious that the Vegas Connection failed him, told them that they would face Badd and Bagwell at the Clash of the Champions and get the job done or he’d make sure to his money back, one way or another.
- WCW Lightweight Champion Jushin Liger has beaten all top contenders in WCW. Thus, WCW officials went out looking for suitable competition for their champion. After a trip to Japan they stumbled upon a great wrestler by the name of Too Cold Scorpio who has been very successful in Japan. It was announced that Scorpio would get a big chance in WCW as his first match would be against Jushin Liger, with the belt on the line.

After the match. Jack sends the referee to the floor and begins to whip JYD with the dog collar. Jack wraps the dog collar around the neck of JYD and proceeds to hang JYD over the top rope as referees try to get Jack to let go of JYD.
