  • After The Bell: Tensions are still high, leading to Shockmaster and Equalizer in a brawl. Shockmaster gets the better of it knocking Equalizer out of the ring with a big forearm.
  • EA’s TakeRun of the mill stuff to get as many B-players on the show as you can (at this point, don’t worry, I see you coming Harlem Heat). Without looking ahead, I get the sense there could be a Shockmaster vs. Equalizer bout at Battle Bowl. I think it’s fair to guess that won’t be a technical masterpiece either

Backstage: Eric Bischoff is standing by with Terry Taylor who will be the special 2nd referee for the Rick Rude/Ric Flair bout. He wanted to be the extra official because of the magnitude of the match, and he wants a chance to do the right thing so he’ll be calling the action right down the middle.

Match #2: ‘Mr. Wonderful’ Paul Orndorff w/The Assassin vs. Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat
The “Paula” chants ring from the rafters. Orndorff cheapshots The Dragon as he takes off his entrance get up. Clubbing forearms and uppercuts.

The ref starts his count and Orndorff heads back in. Patrick is very stern with Mr Wonderful and Steamboat is finally back up. He measures, springs and tries diving over the top rope. Orndorff sees it coming and moves out of the way. Belly to back suplex by Orndorff, he cradles The Dragon but cannot get the win. Steamboat sent to the ropes, The Dragon leapfrogs and comes back with a modified arm drag. Steamboat leaps on top for a hammerlock, Nick Patrick checking to see if he submits. The Dragon piles on with knees and uses his feet to fall backwards for leverage.

Winner: ‘Mr. Wonderful’ Paul Orndorff (Count-Out)

  • EA’s TakeTons of time spent out on the floor and on the entrance ramp in this one. Plenty of energy here as Orndorff is getting some of the best heat in the company right now and this match showed a much more aggressive side of Steamboat. How The Dragon wasn’t DQed for all the times he put his hands on the official, I have no idea, but these two aren’t finished with each other just yet.

Match #3 for the WCW World Television Championship: WCW World Television Champion Lord Steven Regal w/Sir William vs. ‘The British Bulldog’ Davey Boy Smith

He tries to lock in on the chin, but Bulldog is up quickly. Regal tries again and it’s the same result. He tries a third time and instead of a reverse chinlock on Bulldog, Regal is captured into an arm bar. Regal to the ropes and it’s broken.

Regal shakes it off. Collar and elbow, Regal steps in behind for a chin lock and works it into a European cravat. To the ropes and Bulldog elevates Regal and drops the ribs to the knees. Bulldog steps on the hamstrings and pulls the arms. He moves it all the way to a surfboard and Regal is in trouble. William is up on the apron and it causes Bulldog to break.

Bulldog backs into William to knock him off and powerslams Regal but there is a kickout. Bulldog lifts Regal for a piledriver, he pins Regal but he is just barely out of time given the 15 minute time limit.
Winner: Time Limit Draw

  • EA’s TakeAwesome match by two guys who belong in the Hall of Fame, but just aren’t there yet. I really have little to say other than a rock solid performance. It’s a bit strange to see Davey falling down the card some to give Regal a bit of a rub, but that was the nature of his career; the ability to move up and down the card while having it make sense.
